It is true that change is inevitable, and it can affect many aspects of our lives, including our relationship

It is true that change is inevitable, and it can affect many aspects of our lives, including our

relationships. However, it is also true that who we are and what we believe can remain constant even in the face of change.

Relationships come and go and sometimes change happens," it is important to note that people change over time, in appearance, circumstances and belief but the dynamics of a relationship sill always evolve into something more. However, it is also possible for certain aspects of a relationship to remain constant, such as the values, beliefs, and qualities that we bring to our relationships.

It is important to recognize that qualities you may possess may be important in creating, maintaining and building a relationship. People learn, grow, and develop new qualities over


time, and it is possible for a person to work on improving these qualities within themselves or within a relationship. It is also important to note that different people may prioritize different qualities in a relationship, and what is important to one person may not be as important to another.

In summary, while change is inevitable and can impact our relationships, it is possible for certain aspects of ourselves and our relationships to remain constant. Additionally, while certain qualities may be important in a relationship, it is important to recognize that people can learn and grow, and that different people may prioritize different qualities in a relationship.

Somethings just cannot be taught; you have to be born with it.

Somethings just cannot be taught; you have to be born with it.

High non mentionable that you just cannot teach:

Sexy, Being Hungry for Success, Motivation, Being the best or a winner.

Creativity - While techniques and skills can be taught to enhance one's creative abilities, creativity itself is a natural talent that cannot be forced or taught outright.

  1. Empathy - The ability to understand and feel the emotions of others is a characteristic that is either innate or developed through life experiences, but cannot be taught in a traditional sense.

  2. Intuition - This is a type of inner knowing that cannot be learned from books or lectures. It comes from experience, insight, and a heightened awareness of the world around you.

  3. Charisma - Some people are simply more charismatic than others, and this quality cannot be taught or manufactured. Charisma comes from a combination of confidence, charm, and personal magnetism.

  4. Emotional intelligence - The ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others, is a valuable trait that is difficult to teach in a classroom setting.

  5. Authenticity - While people can try to emulate the behaviors of others, true authenticity comes from being genuine and true to oneself. This is a quality that cannot be taught, but can only be developed through self-reflection and personal growth.

  6. Curiosity - The desire to learn and explore is an innate quality that some people possess from a young age. While curiosity can be encouraged and nurtured, it cannot be taught outright.

  7. Resilience - The ability to bounce back from setbacks and failures is a quality that is built over time through experience and personal development. While resilience can be fostered through various techniques, it cannot be taught in a traditional sense.

Armadillos can hold their breath for up to six minutes while underwater.

 Armadillos are fascinating creatures that are native to the Americas, known for their unique appearance and their ability to adapt to a wide range of habitats. One of the most interesting things about armadillos is that they can walk underwater. Here are some great facts about this remarkable ability:


  1. Armadillos can hold their breath for up to six minutes while underwater. This allows them to walk along the bottom of shallow streams and rivers, foraging for food and crossing to the other side.

  2. Armadillos have a unique walking style that enables them to move easily through the water. They walk on the tips of their toes, which creates a buoyancy that helps them stay afloat.

  3. The armadillo's shell is also a key factor in their underwater abilities. The shell acts as a flotation device, helping the animal stay buoyant and move through the water more easily.

  4. Armadillos are excellent swimmers, and they can easily cross streams and rivers by swimming. Their powerful legs and strong claws make them adept at paddling through the water.

  5. Armadillos are not only able to walk underwater, but they also enjoy it! They have been


    observed spending up to six minutes at a time wading through shallow streams, using their keen sense of smell to locate food.

  6. Armadillos have a strong sense of smell that they use to locate their prey underwater. They primarily eat insects, which they can sense even when they are hidden beneath rocks and other debris in the water.

  7. The ability to walk underwater is just one of the many adaptations that have helped armadillos survive and thrive in their diverse habitats. They are able to live in a variety of environments, from grasslands to deserts, and can adapt to changing conditions quickly.

In conclusion, armadillos are truly remarkable creatures, and their ability to walk underwater is just one of the many fascinating facts about these animals. With their unique walking style, powerful legs, and strong sense of smell, they are able to explore and survive in a wide range of environments, making them an important part of the ecosystems in which they live.

The value of selling is not what you sell, but how you sell it...

The value of selling is often overlooked, but I've come to realize its importance once I started selling professionally. The truth is, everything we do in life involves some level of salesmanship. From the moment we're born, we start selling ourselves to others - to our parents, teachers, friends, partners, and employers.

Not everyone may be aware of this, but it's a fact that our ability to present ourselves plays a significant role


in our personal and professional success. Have you ever wondered why an average-looking person can attract an attractive mate? It's not always about looks; often, it's about how they present themselves.


Selling is not just about pushing a product or service. It's about effectively communicating and presenting yourself and your ideas in a way that resonates with others. It's about building relationships, gaining trust, and showing the value of what you have to offer.

We all have something to sell, whether it's an idea, a talent, a product, or even ourselves. By embracing the art of selling, we can improve our communication skills, build confidence, and ultimately achieve greater success in all areas of our lives.

The measures used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

Over the last couple of years Isolation and quarantine are two terms that have become familiar


to most people around the world. They help to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Some think that isolation and quarantine are similar, but there are some key differences between the two.

Isolation is used to separate people who are sick with a contagious disease from those who are healthy. This is done to prevent the spread of the disease to others. People who are in isolation are usually asked to stay in a designated area or room, away from other people. They may also be asked to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a mask or gloves to further prevent the spread of the disease. Isolation can be voluntary, but in some cases, it may be mandatory.

Quarantine, on the other hand, is used to separate and restrict the movement of people who may have been exposed to a contagious disease, but who are not yet sick. Quarantine is used to prevent the potential spread of the disease if the person does become sick. People who are in quarantine may be asked to stay in their homes, in a designated area, or in a facility provided by the government or health authorities. Like isolation, quarantine can be voluntary or mandatory.

Both isolation and quarantine are important measures to prevent the spread of infectious


diseases. They can be used during a pandemic, outbreak, or epidemic. By separating those who are sick or may be sick from those who are healthy, we can slow down the spread of the disease and give healthcare providers time to treat those who are sick.

It's important to note that isolation and quarantine can be challenging for those who are affected. Isolation can be lonely, and quarantine can be difficult for those who are not able to leave their homes. In some cases, people may experience anxiety or depression as a result of being isolated or quarantined. It's important for healthcare providers and others to provide support to those who are affected by these measures.

In conclusion, isolation and quarantine are important measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. While they may be challenging for those who are affected, they are necessary to protect public health. By following these measures, we can slow down the spread of diseases like COVID-19 and protect ourselves and those around us.

What If There Were No Black Folk?



Thi
s is a story of a little boy named Theo, who woke up one morning and asked Mom, "what if there were no black people in the world?"

Well, Mom thought about that for a moment and then said, "Son, follow me around today and let's just see what it would be like if there were no black people in the world. Get dressed and we will get started." Theo ran to his room to put on his clothes and shoes. But there were no shoes, and his clothes were all wrinkled. He looked for the iron, but when reached for the ironing board, it was no longer there.  You see Sarah Boone, a Black woman, invented the ironing board and Jan E. Matzelinger, a Black man invented the shoe lasting machine.

"Oh well", Mom said, "Go and do your hair." Theo ran in his room to comb his hair, but

the comb was not there. You see, Walter Sammons, a Black man, invented the comb. Theo decided to just brush his hair, but the brush was gone You see Lydia O. Newman, a Black female invented the brush. Well, he was a sight, no shoes, wrinkled clothes, hair a mess without the hair care inventions of Madam C. J. Walker, ...well, you get the picture. 

Mom told Theo, "Let's do the chores around the house and then take a trip to the grocery store." Theo's job was to sweep the floor. He swept and swept and swept. When he reached for the dustpan, it was not there. You see LIoyd P. Ray, a Black man, invented the dustpan. So, he swept his pile of dirt over in the corner and left it there. He then decided to mop the floor, but the mop was gone. You see, Thomas W. Stewart, a Black man invented the mop. Theo thought to himself, "I'm not having any luck." "Well, son," Mom said. "We should wash the clothes and prepare a list for the grocery store. When he was finished, Theo went to place the clothes in the dryer, but it was not there. 

You see, George T. Samon, a Black man, invented the clothes dryer. Theo got a pencil and some paper to prepare the list for the market but noticed that the pencil lead was broken as well, he was out of luck because John Love, a Black man, invented the pencil sharpener. He reached for a pen, but it was not there because William Purvis, a Black man, invented the fountain pen. As a matter of fact, Lee Burridge invented the type writing machine, and W. A. Lavette, the printing press. So, they decided to head out to the market. Well, when Theo opened the door, he noticed the grass was as high as he was tall. You see the lawnmower was invented by John Burr, a Black man.

They made their way over to the car and found that it just wouldn't go. You see Robert Spikes, a Black man, invented the automatic gear shift and Joseph Gammel invented the supercharge system for internal combustion engines.

They noticed that the few cars that were moving were running into each other and
having wrecks because there were no traffic signals. You see, Garrett A. Morgan,
a Black man, invented the traffic light. Well, it was getting late, so they walked to the market, got their groceries and returned home. Just when they were about to put away the milk, eggs and butter, they noticed the refrigerator was gone.  You see, John Standard, a Black man, invented the refrigerator. So, they put the food on the counter. By this time, they noticed it was getting mighty cold. Theo went to turn up the heat and what do you know, it was not there.  You see, Alive Parker, a Black female, invented the heating furnace. Even in the summertime they would have been out of luck, because Frederick Jones, a Black man, invented the air conditioner.

It was almost time for Theo's father to arrive home.  He usually took the bus, but there was no bus because its precursor was the electric trolley, invented by another Black man, Elbert T. Robinson. He usually took the elevator from his office on the 20th floor, but there was no elevator because Alexander Miles, A Black man, invented the elevator. He usually dropped off the office mail at a nearby mailbox, but it no longer was there because Phillip Downing, a Black man, invented the letter drop mailbox and William Barry invented the postmarking and canceling machine. Theo sat at the kitchen table with his head in his hands. When his father arrived, he asked, "Why are you sitting in the dark?" Why?? Because Lewis Howard Latimer, a Black man, invented the filament within the light bulb.
Theo quickly learned what it would be like if there were no Black people in the world.

Not to mention if he were ever sick and needed blood. Charles Drew, a Black scientist, found a way to preserve and store blood, which led to his starting the world's first blood bank. And what if a family member had to have heart surgery.  This would not have been possible without Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, a Black doctor, who performed first open-heart surgery.

So, if you ever wonder, like Theo, where we would be without Blacks?  Well, it's
pretty 
plain to see, we could very well still be in the dark!!!
