The Winning Attitude
Confronting and Overcoming Challenges! It is a challenge to succeed. If it were not, I'm sure more people would be successful, but for every person who is enjoying the fruit from the tree of success, many more are examining the roots. They are trying to figure it all out. They are mystified and perplexed by what seems to be some strange, complex, and elusive secret that must be found if ever success is to be enjoyed. While most people spend their lives struggling to earn a living, a much smaller group is busily engaged in designing and enjoying a fortune. Everything just seems to work out for them. While the much larger group sits in awe at how life can be so unfair, complicated, and unjust. "I'm a nice person", the man says to himself. "How come this other guy is happy and prosperous, and I'm always struggling?", he asks himself. "I'm a good husband, a good father, and a good worker. How come nothing seems to work out for me? Life just isn't fair. I'm even smarter and willing to work harder than some of these other people who just seem to have everything go their way", as he slumps into the sofa to watch another evening of television. But you see, you've got to be more than a good person and a good worker. You've got to become a good planner, and a good dreamer. You've got to see the future finished in advance.

What to Write First?
This may sound counterintuitive, but I actually started the idea of tips for writers on my very first visit to the Vocal website. I had little idea where to start, what people would find interesting, and if I was even any good at this whole writing thing. And then it hit me. Someday when my fingers ache from typing, eyes burn from the bright glare of the screen, and stomach growls from the neglect of writing excitement, I will look back to this moment. The beginning. Not really the beginning of all of my writing, but just maybe the most important. What is it I would tell that girl eagerly wanting to begin?

Fact: Either you discipline yourself or somebody else will
There are a lot of people in this world who think that authority is a problem. They really have a tough time with anybody or anything trying to exercise authority over them. These are rebellious people. You've seen all sorts of kids in public places telling their moms or dads off.

Welcome back to the Roaring '20's!
Welcome back to the Roaring ‘20’s! What does that even mean? The roaring '20'? For centuries there has been an eventful decade of the '20's. In the 1920's we had with the Great Depression, with the first world war ending it resulted in a Great Depression. Also, the plague resurfacing but that didn’t stop the world from accomplishing things. Many American's owned cars, radios, and telephones for the first time.

There is gold everywhere, but almost nobody knows how to identify it
People have had to live through some pretty tough days, after the outbreak of a pandemic that until 4 months ago seemed totally unthinkable that it could happen, and that has questioned the future of many national economies, and that could imply a total change for international business policies and financial markets.

Dropouts Make Great Pictures
I believe that drop outs should not be turned a cold shoulder because there are many people who are meant to create and don't need to pay thousands of dollars for a continued education. I've made many decisions in my life and one of my most significant ones was the decision to drop out. All these decisions will bring me on to a unique path. Knowing this, I constantly remind myself that the future-version of me that is homeless was brought to that situation because of my own choices. However, my dream is to play professional soccer, so my choices will also determine if I get there.

Keep Moving Forward!
I'm moving forward. The best words of advice my father ever gave me was, "You can be whatever you want and do whatever you want by setting your mind to it!" He was an example of that. There was nothing I could find that my dad couldn't do. He spoke multiple languages, sang, played music, competed in bowling, was a black-belt in Judo, was a marksman archer, and had an intelligence position in the military that he never discussed. He became the sales leader then the sales manager at a major auto dealership after mustering out.

Handwriting Lover
Growing up, I found myself valuing papers. To the point where I found myself in my room with stacks of paper. After years of writing I wanted to do something with all the papers that I have collected. Therefore, I decided to design art pieces with my papers of words. Shortly, I started to take pictures and make small videos. Pretty much, writing allows me to tell stories slightly from the norm. Similar, to creating an unheard of universe and introducing it to the realities of millions. Leading into a new development of art that I refer to as scripted-blue.

Just a writer.
It all began when my mother brought me my first book ‘’The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’’ when I was 8-9 years old. As I had just learned how to read and becoming accustomed to it, my mother thought that it would help me to not only be better at reading but also to broaden my horizons and engross the brilliant world of literature. As mentioned previously my first book was ‘’The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’’ I still remember how excited my mother was to bring me that book as she was as well a great fan of literature, me being the ordinary young child I started acting unreasonably and getting upset that my mother would make me read my homework again; but when I first took the book in my hands and ran my fingers through the old pages of it, I started getting excited and happy. The story began and my mind and soul was completely focused on Tom Sawyer’s adventures. I managed to finish the book in 2 days since I was so engaged in the plot and when I did finish I was fascinated by so many things. First of all, by my ability to just recreate what I was reading and imagine it, I felt like I was directing my own little movie. Secondly, how attached I had grown to the main character, as when the book finished I got sad and didn’t want to say goodbye to his adventures and his personality that was full of braveness and mischief. Finally, the way that I got jealous of Mark Twain and wondered how he succeeded in writing such a great book that motivated me to start writing. The same evening I took out my little pink notebook, and i started writing short childish stories. I would go around and have this proud smile and tell people ``I am a writer``. Time passed rather quickly, and i found myself nostalgic of how reckless, proud and clueless i was. I started drifting away from writing, I started having this ideas that I was bad at it. Time passed. Until that summer evening... I was walking around in the town of Mykonos without paying attention on where i was going when i came across a small church, in front of it it had a small garden and you could see the whole town and even the old harbor of Mykonos. The view was breathtaking. The majestic orange warm sun positioned in the middle of the sky that was clear from clouds. The sea was calm, you could hear the distant sounds of the waves. The sun was reflecting on the refreshing salty surface,as it started going down as if it wanted to dive in the sea, the sky's orange from the sun started fading and a dark blue started appearing. Before you know it the sun has dissipated and in seconds it was replaced by the full bright moon along with his fellow yellow stars. I could feel the reviving air blow slightly to my face. The sea remained still, i was full of ideas and creativity and I knew then and there that I had to start writing again.

Curse of the Creatives
Born and bred a romantic; raised on the classics and submerged into a lifestyle where your imagination rules the daily narrative. Being a creative means a life surrounded by ideas, a million things before breakfast that you can only hope to complete. When you attend an art gallery, the first thought; maybe I should start painting again? Further still, pandemic inflicted isolation is leaving a longing in so many to be doing something, well, something more.
