Ms. Pollen, It's Just Not Working Out
0
Dear Ms. Pollen:
I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm just going to say it. I mean, I have the utmost respect for you Ms. Pollen, but you and I can no longer occupy the same space. We are too different. It's Just Not Working Out. I am not trying to hurt you, but when we are around each other you make me un-comfy. No, it's not nervousness or anything, but I can't control my sneezing, sniffling, and you drive my sinuses haywire. I know it's not personal, but It's Just Not Working Out.
Ms. Pollen, I do appreciate you and I wish you all the best life has to offer. But, I can no longer subject myself to this punishment. It's not just fair for either of us. When you are around you make my mouth dry & eyes water---I am a boy Damon! That's not suppose to happen. No one should be making me cry, itch and need to pop a pill every time I am near them. Does that make sense to you? Do you think you deserve that? I know I don't. Someone, somewhere, would love to embrace the things you do to me. Thus, I believe you are better off without me. Ms. Pollen, this hurts me more than it will hurt you but---It's Just Not Working Out. From henceforth, I will be avoiding you at all cost. Don't be offended, it's not you, it's me.
Well Wishes,
Mr. Pollen-Less

Drive
0
When I mention the word Drive, I am not referring to the gear in your car that makes it go forward, nor am I referring to the action that your car takes once you put it in Drive. I am talking about a special type of Drive. The Drive I am speaking of is that thing inside of you that motivates you to leap tall buildings, weather major storms/catastrophes, and/or keep going when everyone else quits hours ago. That type of Drive is something that moves us to pursue those things we feel to be important or obtain our goals and aspirations.
It is my belief that everyone has a level of Drive. Rather it's just enough to make you do things you wouldn't do under any other circumstances just to meet ends meet or it gets you to preserver when quitting would be an easier option; it's Drive nonetheless. I am most excited to be in the presence of Driven people, because they make you step your game up. Individuals with Drive has a way of inspiring others to do more and not only just do more, but do things you may not have ever considered. If you haven't met your Drive or you haven't seen your Drive lately, I encourage you to find it quickly. If you have no Drive, just like the car you will be stuck not moving anywhere at all. And you all know, stagnation---that's just not the business.

Ignorance Is Bliss....Not!
0
I am so tired of people making all types of excuses for Ignorance. People do things to make others look bad or say stuff out loud that should only be said in one's mind. And they get a pass in the s0-called spirit of Ignorance. Sadly, people see others doing Ignorant things and give them a pass or don't speak a word of corrective action to them. Worse, Ignorance has become an acceptable behavior. Rappers, not to be mistaken for Real Hip Hop artists, are the most famous culprits of bringing Ignorance to the world, were kids can package it, view it, practice it, purchase it, and/or pretend to live it.
But it's okay right? Its not that big of a deal is it? I mean it's not really hurting anyone is it? Because, as the saying goes, Ignorance Is Bliss Right?...Not! I couldn't disagree more. Even uneducated people are smart enough to know when they are being Ignorant. The media has exploited coonery, buffoonery and plain ol'e Ignorance for their benefit. To no one's surprise, the idiots who pose in front of the camera, embarrassing their family and setting their race back another 40 years aren't Ignorant at all. Actually, most of them are well educated and very articulate; even if they didn't complete high school. Ignorance Is Bliss is often misused. Ignorance Is Not Bliss, because there are so many outlets in this world to assist so-called Ignorant people with gaining an education and knowledge. Ignorance may be a lot of things, but Bliss Is Not one of them.

Progressive People Move Progressively
0
So, I have been having the most interesting conversations with the people around me lately. I am on this new kick about Progression. It is my belief that People generally don't Progress in this life as they should because they don't Move Progressively. What I mean is this: if you are constantly dealing with issues of yesterday, then how can you say that you are Moving actively towards tomorrow, or even dealing with today for that matter. Progressive People Move Progressively.
These types of individuals only tend to involve themselves in activities or situations that speak to or bring about a certain level of Progression. Progressive People attempt to avoid stagnation or regression at all cost. Honestly, I don't blame them. Instead of spending so much time focusing on the things you don't have, you lost or wish you could get back---let it go. Focus on and be thankful for the things you do have. Be Progressive and Move forward, so you can assure you and your loved ones have a bigger, better and brighter future than the one we even expect for ourselves.

The Open Door Policy
0
Have you ever heard of The Open Door Policy? Just in case you haven't, I will let you know a little about it. The Open Door Policy is usually a practice that managers, supervisors and other leaders use that give their staff members and/or co-workers an opportunity to visit them or speak with them in their office at any time. As a follower and a leader at times, it is very important for individuals to have a place or forum to discuss any issues or problems they may have or add their suggestions/input. The Open Door Policy, if enacted correctly, can provide an opportunity to allow all individuals to feel a part of the collective.
I write today about The Open Door Policy because I have yet to understand how people say they have an Open Door Policy, but they always keep their Doors Closed. There is something uninviting about telling others they can visit you at any time, but not only is your Door Closed, but they have to successfully maneuver through 4 secretaries, 3 assistants, and several other staffers just to get to your area. Thus, I write to encourage all of you who state publicly or privately that you have An Open Door Policy, please be reminded that you must Open The Door and make yourself accessible to those who may need you. Thanks for your time and attention.
