Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables

Have you asked yourself whether or not ten years from now you will enjoy the bite of an apple? Or the crunchiness of a stalk of celery?

Don’t wait until tomorrow to eat your fruits and vegetables. Eat them today! Why wouldn’t you want to live a happy life?

Still not convinced? Okay, let me give you a science lesson. Have you ever heard of vitamin E? Vitamin E is something your body does not synthesize, so you must consume it. Its role is a biological antioxidant? What does that mean? Well, your body contains lots of reactive oxygen species. These species may cause various effects. In case you're wondering, yes, these species may cause cancer. So, how do you combat them? Well, EAT YOUR VITAMIN E.

I hope you will eat your fruits and vegetables now. If not, you know the consequences.

Why Shrek Would Be One Friendly Nurse

If you are looking to hire a nurse, I know just the right person.

Here he is. Let me give you a rundown of his resume and 4 reasons why he would benefit you.

Number 1. Shrek is extremely hygienic. Look at him! He wears a mask as a safety precaution while he is dealing with the dragon and treating her fire breath. And remember when Fiona wanted to pull the arrow out of Shrek’s bottom? Shrek doesn’t let her. Why? Because pulling the arrow out may lead to the spread of blood born diseases. Clean enough for you?

Number 2. He knows how to entertain kids. Shrek understands the mechanics of making an awesome balloon. And if kids have a party in the playroom, Shrek is a wild party animal. Imagine how wild the kids will be when they Shrek screams as he does in Shrek Forever After.

Number 3. He will stand up for the rights of his patient and the facility. Look, when the swamp was overcrowded, Shrek goes to Lord Farquaad to fight for the right of the swamp in hopes of making it less crowded. And do you remember all those knights that he had to scare away? He did that all to make people stay away so that he could take care of others and himself.

Number 4. Shrek is a master of getting people to do what he wants. Don’t believe his skills? How about when he got Donkey to do this [crossing the bridge]? If that isn't some epic jedi sublimal skills, I don't know what is.

How Video Games Suck Out Your Uncreativeness

I can only speak from my personal experiences, and the judge of whether my words are true rests on your shoulders. As a kid, I loved playing video games, reading comic books, and watching TV. In fact, I did these 3 things so much that I never did my homework or studied. With that being said, did that make me any less smart or did it in any way squash my potential to have been great? Nope. In fact, it was perhaps these three things that made me who I am today. I feel more creative, smarter, and can think faster because of those activities.

But let’s face it. I still wouldn’t consider myself successful. Sure I am more creative or smarter, but I seem to be progressing slower than usual. Others seem to be getting higher grades or accomplish feats much more glorious than anything I could possibly have done.

Should I lessen the time I spend playing video games, passively reading comic books, and going on Netflix? The answer is yes and no.

Yes, because sometimes those 3 things provide too much of a distraction to oneself that it takes away from one’s real work. If I am always online, I may not have time to do homework.

No, because we can transcend to the next level of gaming, reading, and TV watching. You see, there is a way for me to interact with the things I love without being distracted. All you have to do is innovate.

Innovate? What is that supposed to mean? Think about this: when you are gaming, you are actively playing out a role or exploring a map that someone else has designed for you. Your imagination and power is limited only to that world. But what happens if you were the person creating the game? That flips everything around. Instead, you are the person designing the world. Your imagination and power is unlimited.

It is not the act of playing games that make you smarter, but rather the act of going one step further and creating something out of your passion and love for a hobby. That’s what makes you successful.
