Sam Keen once said, “We come back to like not by finding an ideal person however by learning to visualize an imperfect person perfectly.” the ability of a love relationship isn’t that 2 excellent folks come back along however that 2 imperfect peopled come back along and provides everything to every different. The sacrifice of affection is that you simply provide everything. The payoff is that you simply get everything back, however currently it’s enhanced by the voice and temperament of your lover. this sort of affection quote echoes to the strength of affection to assist to create the two, 1.

The power of affection will provide healing, provide us understanding, and also the ability to beat variations. The key’s to leaving behind of the proper to be right, and appearance for a typical ground where each folks will maintain their dignity, morals, and sense of self-worth. solely then will love teach us that 2 totally different folks will work together.

Reading is a way to increase knowledge and intelligence.  It is a good sign that people have become more sophisticated in their shopping habits.  The more knowledge that people acquire about products and services, the better decisions they can make about them.  These skills can be transferred to any area of life.

Even children benefit from reading, as a child acquires most of his knowledge and skills from birth to age seven.  At this time in a child’s life, he/she learns very rapidly because of the way the brain develops, and the learning process decreases after these years.  Students whose parents read to them and who read have a head start in life.  

There was a time when children had books in the house; novels, mysteries, encyclopedias, and children’s magazines.  I remember shutting myself in my room to read a good book, while others were out playing.  We always received books as Christmas presents and would often borrow each others’ books when we were through reading ours.

I had a friend who introduced me to the Nancy Drew mysteries and they became my favorite books.  Soon, my other friends swapped their books with me as we tried to read all of the volumes which were in the series.  We would discus them on the way to school. 

When I was old enough to acquire a library card, I took out Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie novels for myself and children’s books for my youngest sister.  As my mother began working when I was fourteen years old, I babysat my three year old sister.  I read to her to keep her entertained. 

Children benefit from quiet reading time in class.  I had the opportunity to observe children in affluent areas and poor areas who read during quiet time in class while substitute teaching.  There is a difference in the behavior of children who read on a regular basis and children who do not.  Children who read tend to be more calm, well-behaved, had better vocabularies, and better writing skills.

The National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future determined that teacher qualifications had an overwhelming influence on student literacy and performance in reading and mathematics classes.  The more qualified teachers are able to encourage the students to develop the mathematics and reading skills they need to secure better jobs. 

In conclusion, the formative years of a child’s life from birth to age seven are the best time for children to develop reading skills.  This coupled with a very competent reading teacher will enable a child to develop literacy skills to be competitive in the global economy as an adult.

While writing is often seen as a very solitary art form, as my career path broadens, I realize that when you collaborate with other artists you enjoy the BEST of both worlds. You get the opportunity to share what you love doing most with the people in your life you love the most. It’s truly a win-win situation for all parties involved.

When people spend time with friends and loved ones they’re often sharing a new experience: travelling to a new place, seeing a new performance, etc. So why not pair your passion with those most adored people in your life? It’s truly a match made in heaven and an ingenius best use of everyone’s time.

And what’s wonderful is that everyone I’m befriending these days is an artist who would like to work together or has a similar vision of “one love” regarding the world: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” (-Mahatma Gandhi.)

As many of my readers know, my ultimate dream is to finish a novel series and be the next JK Rowling or Agatha Christie (the most widely read authors in the world – you must say your dreams to make them come true). But, as “they” say, along the way everyone needs to “stop and smell the flowers” so why not stop with treasured friends who you can collaborate with as well to create even more beauty in the world!

Just a final note: always make sure though, when collaborating with others, that you keep your greatest dreams close to your heart and mind as well. It’s up to you to keep them in sight and make them all come true.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ♥
(-Harriet Tubman)

Be good to yourself and each other.

“I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy”. – Steve Martin

“To love is to suffer.

To avoid suffering one must not love.

But then one suffers from not loving.

Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer.

To suffer is to suffer.

To be happy is to love.

To be happy then is to suffer.

But suffering makes one unhappy.

Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness.

I hope you are getting this down.” – Woody Allen

“An archaeologist is the best husband any woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her”. – Agatha Christie

“Women marry men hoping they will change.

Men marry women hoping they will not.

So each is inevitably disappointed”. – Albert Einstein

“Nothing spoils romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman”. – Oscar Wilde

“The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he’s a baby”. – Natalie Wood

“If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married”. – Katherine Hepburn

“Love is a grave mental disease”. – Plato

“If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many books on how to do it?” – Bette Midler

“I’m always looking for meaningful one-night stands”. – Dudley Moore

Wonder how these guys live/lived their lives? They have given such meaningful and painfully accurate insights on relationships. Curiously research supports these statements. As couples live together for longer period of time, they find each other even more annoying and demanding than before. Spouses become more comfortable with each other and are able to express their emotions without hesitation, which leads to disturbing consequences.

A Fact, Not a Fiction?

In those dark days, Mons was also made famous by another, much darker legend. On a night in November, Captain Yeskes and four of his London Fusiliers went on a patrol in No Man’s Land. Several days later their corpses were found, with teeth marks at the throats. And in the British trenches a weird, blood-curldling howl was heard… the howl of the Hell Hound of Mons.

Afterwards, on the battlefields of the Marne and the Somme, near Verdun and Ypres, patrols that ventured out in the darkness between the trenches, were found with the same telltale marks at their throats, while the howl continued to roam through No Man’s Land. Sentries declared they saw a grey form flashing past the barbed wire. The giant Hound of Hell was running there, silently…

In August 1919, the Evening News of Oklahoma published a story of the Canadian veteran Captain F.J. Newhouse. The Terror of No Man’s Land that was stalking among the corpses and dragged soldiers down to their death, was no apparition of a fear-crazed mind, he said. It was no phantom, no hallucination, no fiction… but a gruesome reality of the Great War. 

Captain Newhouse stated that certain facts had been brought to light, as a result of the recent death of Dr Gottlieb Hochmuller in a Berlin riot. Secret documents were found in his house, which proved the Hell Hound of Mons really existed. The creature had come out of maybe the most repulsive scientific experiment the world had ever known, as a giant hound with the brain of a human madman.

Indeed, Dr Hochmuller had roamed the German hospitals until he found a man gone mad because of his hatred of England. With the sanction of his government, Hochmuller removed the brain of this man and inserted it in a giant Siberian wolfhound. The dog lived, grew rapidly stronger and after careful training was released in No Man’s Land.

Only an Urban legend, and Nothing More?

Could there be any truth in this monstrous horror tale? The surgical procedure Captain Newhouse described, is quite impossible. And the story reminds us of other tales – what we would call now “urban legends” – of alleged atrocities committed by “the Hun”. Most of these World War One horror tales have been proven to be war propaganda and nothing more.

Theo Paijmans, who wrote for the Fortean Times an interesting article on The Hound of Mons, could find no traces of a Dr Gottlieb Hochmuller and his bizarre medical procedures that remind us of the very fictional experiments of Baron von Frankenstein. The sudden disappearance of the creature also has elements of the various legends concerning demon dogs and hounds from hell.

But, as Paijmans points out, perhaps a giant dog really did haunt the trenches, abandoned by his master, hungry prowling the battlefield. And maybe Agatha Christie had some good reason for choosing Belgium during World War One as the setting for one of her supernatural short stories, titled… The Hound of Death (1933).
