Today we will look at two more words that are often confused, the are: STATIONARY and STATIONERY
Stationary means: something that is motionless, not moving
Stationery means: writing or other office materials
Tomorrow we will look at two more easily confused words.
Life will not always go as planned. Sometimes the people you trust and believe in are the ones who will let you down. However the answer is not to trust because whatever field you venture in, trust is necessary. Learn to choose your circle carefully. The right ones will always have your back.
There are some words that sound so much alike but have different meaning. Sometimes these words can be confusing and are used in the wrong manner. In this post I will discuss two of those words.
COMPLIMENT and COMPLEMENT
While these two words sound the same their meanings are different.
COMPLIMENT: is a polite expression of praise or admiration. For example “I love you hair it looks wonderful.”
COMPLEMENT: means to add something in a way that enhances it or make it seem perfect. For example “Her jacket complements her dress. It adds a touch of elegance.
I hope you are no longer confused about these two words. Stay tuned for more confusing words.
We live in an ever changing world yet many people are afraid of change. However change is often necessary as you begin to climb that mountain that will get you to success. The path will not always be clear. You will encounter change in your personal development. Your circle of friends may change. Your priorities and the way you do things may change. Change is an inevitable part of your growth. Don’t fight change, instead embrace it.
Thank you Lord for inspiration
You have given me today,
And the loveliness of the sunshine
You have sent along my way.
All the clouds in the heavens
Look so pretty there in place
What a sight to just behold them
As they roll along in space
And the world in all its wonder
Valleys low and mountains high
Just a little bit of heaven
As they seem to touch the sky.
Thank your Lord for all creation
You allowed for me to see,
And the inspiration “kindly”
You have given to me.
(Katherine S. Matheney)
Don’t spend your time focusing on negative situations. You will make mistakes in life but the smart thing is to learn from them. Do not allow your mistakes to lead you down the path of self-doubt. The journey to success can be a long and arduous one. Have faith, confidence in yourself and the determination to succeed.
There is nothing better on a hot day
Than to feel the wind against your skin
On a dark and dreary day it is always
A wonderful sight to see that sun peeping through.
Take time to notice the birds, the butterflies
And the flowers. Nature is beautiful but we don’t
always take time to notice.
Don’t allow yourself to become distracted. It is a mistake that people often make. If you focus on what others are doing you will lose sight if your own goals. Keep your focus on your goals and the things you want to achieve. Seek out ways to make it happen and associate with likeminded people who will motivate and lift you up.
The most important decision you can make for your life is to believe in your dreams and never quit even when all you see in front of you are obstacles. It is often so easy to get tired and give up. Let’s face it , in life it is not easy to be positive all the time. You will have down days. You will have days when you feel that your efforts are just a waste of time. But you have to understand if it is worth having, it is worth fighting for.
The next time you feel like quitting think of someone who despite all the obstacles they encountered in their lives stuck it out and today is someone successful. Use that person as motivation to help get you to where you want to be. Success is possible. You can achieve that dream. Don’t give up.
To: Men
From: Women Against Domestic Violence
Dear Men: October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and again with tears in our eyes we write this letter to you. Things have not improved much. Despite our best efforts to spread awareness women continue to die. Just this past week there was another gruesome murder. A man ran over his ex-wife with a car then stabbed her repeatedly. Her grandkids witnessed her murder, they will be scarred for life. I ask of you how can this be right?
Men, how can you hurt the person you profess to love? Why should the person who love you live in fear of you? That is not healthy. Will it bring you joy to look down at your woman in a casket and know she is there because you went too far? Life is fragile. Your job as a man is to protect your woman, not hurt her. That is what strong men do. If you find yourself hurting your woman, it means there is some weakness within you that you must work on.
Men we know that you are not all bad and we are aware that some of you do suffer abuse too. We need you to stand by us in this fight. Talk to your peers, to your friends, or relatives who are abusers. Tell them domestic violence is wrong. Be an example to them. Show them how a real man treats his woman. Men we cannot win this fight without you. We need you to stand by us and fight with us to end domestic violence. You can start by sharing this letter. Together let us spread awareness
