Have Faith in your Dreams

Did you ever not get something you really wanted? And no, I don’t mean those really expensive shoes you begged your parents for. I’m talking about a job, a position, membership to a club, a test mark…it could be anything that holds importance to you. It may have made you feel really bad when that thing did not come easily to you. Perhaps you didn’t do any work and were just hoping for the best, or maybe you worked really hard and still you didn’t achieve what you wanted. This feeling inside you can be very sad but it doesn’t have to be that way. Sure it’s something to be upset about, but you have to see where you went wrong and what you can do for the next time. Always have faith in your dreams. There’s a saying, when one door closes, two more open. So if you keep on staring at the closed door, you’ll miss all the other opportunities around you. And now for the cheesy, Chef Gusteau, Ratatouille reference: “If you focus on what you’ve left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.”

The New iPhone

Last week Apple Inc. announced their newest iPhone, the iPhone 5. This newer, sleeker model of the iPhone is set to be released on September 21st. It has various different features upgraded from its previous generation, the iPhone 4S. It seems like a lot of phones these days are much slimmer and also have a larger screen. Samsung also released a new phone, the Galaxy S3, a couple months ago which is also quite slim and versatile. Which do you prefer, iPhone 5 or Galaxy S3?   

Back to the Usual

Whether you are back to the office, school or any other workplace, there is no doubt summer is over. It is quite difficult to get back into your usual routine, however after a few weeks the feeling should go away and everything should go back to normal. It must be really difficult for people to have no summer at all and for that reason I am thankful that I get a few weeks to just relax. If you are having trouble getting back to your usual routine or simply miss summer, I find taking full advantage of the weekend or any other holiday really helps. Try to get all your work done on Friday so that you can have the rest of the weekend to just kick back. Also during the week, if the weather is nice, try to finish your work early or during lunch break so you can take advantage of the awesome weather and some fresh air. How do you cope with summer being over?

Apple Juice: Is it Just a Fruit Beverage?

Ahh, the classic, thirst quenching, apple juice. This fruit juice has been around for a very long time and is absolutely delicious. Apple juice can be made from a variety of different apples producing slightly different tastes by various brands. However, is apple juice just an old fruit beverage? I think there’s more to apple juice than what meets the eye. This golden juice has vitamin C in it and is a much healthier alternative to other beverages such as soda. Also apple juice is 100% pure juice. So is apple juice a juice for you, or do you prefer another fruit juice?
