Anger management. Something many people do not have, I am not an exception. I have a serious anger management problem. Every time i am mad, i succumb to my instinct to fight, when someone makes me snap, i go in a raging frenzy which is something i am trying to overcome. A counsellor once reccommended to me this approach
Direct This would include making behavior visible and making communication clear. The end result is to not become resentful, but rather, be honest about the feeling of anger and what is causing it.
Honorable This includes identifying the moral basis for the anger, and being willing to dialog around the reason for the anger. In short, this includes taking responsibility for actions.
Focused This means staying with the issue of concern, and not bringing up irrelevant material.
Courageous This implies careful and thoughtful self-examination. Additionally, this means being willing to admit when one is wrong or when a reaction is inappropriate.
Humility This means seeking the truth instead of merely being defensive, and self-justifying.
Forgiveness This means acknowledging the wrong in someone else's behavior or words and then letting go of bitterness and resentment associated with that wrong.
Listen This means hearing the other person out, asking questions around their feelings and their reasons for their action.
Thankfulness This means finding elements related to the situation where one is genuinely appreciative and expressing that.
This is something i want to share with everyone, not just people with anger management problems.

Walt Disney
Everyone of all ages would have heard of Walt Disney, the man that founded the famous Walt Disney Company. The Lion King, Tarzan and Snow white and the Seven Dwarves were some of the many movies Disney had up their sleeves. Fan of all ages know the lovable characters that always brought laughs to everyone. It was back when disney songs were actually listenable to! And the movies were something you could actually watch on repeat all day long. I grew up in the 90's and everytime I listen to the disney songs from around then, it gives me peace at heart. But is Disney movies as good now as it was before? Do Disney still create great movies like it used to? YES! Maybe some mindless shows like Hannah Montana but still, once a great movie maker, always a great movie maker. There has been much talk about Disney's declining movie making skills, how Disney is too money-orientated to create good movies. But take The Princess and the Frog, a recent movie, they shocked everyone with the first black princess in Disney's history. Why? Because Disney had the virtue to put racism behind them and move on. This is the classic Walt Disney Company
Where is the love?
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)
If one takes note of the lyrics, it a very sad song. It addresses the evil in man's heart, like how terrorism is everywhere and how people kill ruthlessly. It makes me recall an article in which US soldiers in an apache helicopter just gunned down innocent civilians while laughing. The worst part is while laughing. Have humans lost what made us human? Where is the love we are supposed to have? Is it dying as the years goes by? Maybe the time of Armageddon is coming.

Music and its impact
Music can be define as a form of art whose medium is sound, music does have different genre like Pop, Rock, Alternative, R&B, Hip-Hop and so much more which anyone can have their own desired of music that they would love to listen each and everyday would pass by. music also is a way where anyone could express with what is in on their mind and it is in a good way so that there would be no violence could happen and at somehow at a point peace is at everywhere, there are so much numbered of music artist from both local and international made thier expressing in music which is they express how do they care about the society or sometimes they made music to change everyone for a better situation, but what music is all about and that is to entertain and bring happiness to each and every person's life because listening to music does make a person happy and what music all about is enjoying on it. music makes a hit to a lot of people in the world and i think no one can live without music on their life sometimes music so broad because not just by expressing but also it interprets one of a persons life. (definition by http://www.articlesbase.com/music-articles/music-makes-a-great-impact-to-life-1071093.html)
I believe music influences a person's life. I have seen people that listen to too much of a rock music causing them to be more violent and harmful, and i know its because of what they heard in the music. I believe many of us heard about the Mozart effect .A set of research results that indicate that listening to Mozart's music may induce a short-term improvement on the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as "spatial-temporal reasoning". It also tells a lot about a person. People who tend to listen to heavy metal are emotional and have a tendency to sprout profanities at moments of anger. Listening to calm music naturally helps a person keep calm. Besides impacting humans, music impacts plants too. Classical music, for that matter has had a prominent effect on plant growth. The Ragas (a formation with a group of notations) in Indian classical music, are believed to have worked wonders for plant growth. In addition to that, the occident has also been a witness to experiments on how does music affect plants. The vibrations of the music created are responsible for plant growth. Music rocks our life!

Corruption in doctors
There has been much controversy about corruption in the medical industry. Recently, the news broke to the whole of Singapore a shocking controversy. Acclaimed surgeon Susan Lim, the first surgeon in Asia to perform a liver transplant, overcharged her Bruneian patient. The overcharge was not just a few cents but tens of millions!http://health.asiaone.com/Health/News/Story/A1Story20110225-265241.html
I decided to talk about this topic as it has always been my childhood dream of being a doctor. I believe we have all seen many cases of doctors, lawyers and businessman succumbing to their greed for money. Perhaps that is the main reason why people want to take up these lucrative jobs. Could not they see the maning of their job? Doctor have the ability to save people! To be many a patients hero! Thats why i aspired to be a doctor. But these sic cases of doctors unwilling to save someone because he or she had no money to pay really can make someone's blood boil. I believe that money is just something material, something of no value. The irony. Are you going to keep your precious money after you die? A humble sum of money that you earn TRUTHFULLY can see yourself a very satisfactory life. But saving a person's life without any superpowers, it just makes your life meaningful. Imagine saving lives everday! When you die, you will be remembered by those people you have made an impact on in your life. That is very rewarding.

Machine vs human teacher
Can the machine ever be the teacher?
Yes, one has to agree on the fact that machines mark better than teachers, especially old and tired teachers. No more, " Ms so and so, You have wrongly counted my marks by 10 marks". More trust is placed on machines compared to teachers leading to the fact that about 50% important exams are marked by machines. This is also the case in Singapore where the multiple choice questions in the PSLE are marked by machines.
However, a teacher can never be replaced by a machine. I believe that a teacher is not just someone that imparts knowledge or someone that marks our essays. A teacher is someone that you communicate with, someone you can share your feeling with and someone that will be there for you. If your school is your second home, your teachers are your elder brothers and sisters of a big family. Imagine school without a guide to prevent us from being led astray
Therefore, I believe very strongly teachers should remain as humans
