Diversity Advocacy

-
I personally am a very large proponent and cheerleader for human DIVERSITY. The more diverse, welcoming, and friendly our culture and society can be, the better.
I sometimes wonder, where and why bigotry, stereotypes, and racism still exist in modern day, post millennium times. When you are born those feelings are not there. While in Kindergarten, and as a kid, no one cares or notices those aforementioned traits. Nope. In grade school, all you care about is making decent grades, playing with friends on the playground, and eating foods you enjoy. Nowhere on the radar, does human discrimination enter the mind. Thus, is human hatred a learned trait? If so, quit teaching it. I don't care for it, I don't get it, and I don't practice it.
People are people. We are all alive, human, and pleasantly stuck together on this earth. We're ALL in the big SHIP together. So let's enjoy the ride.
There are numerous advantages to diversity. Diversity in the world, keeps life interesting. For example, diversity keep friends from getting lost in the crowd. If everyone in society looked the same, it would be easier to lose your friend in the massive crowds. Do citizens in the densely filled, Tokyo, Japan ever have this "where's waldo" problem? Diversity in the workplace is fantastic. When engineers, salespeople, CFOs' and company receptionists can merrily co-mingle, the synergy creates a more effective and enjoyable work environment. Diversity is joyous in the dating world. In America's beautiful melting pot of diverse, ethnic backgrounds, dating selections are a "Baskin Robbins of 31 flavors" or more to choose from. I've tried not to discriminate when it comes to potential dating partners. There are too many beautiful, different, and unique women to choose from, and dream for to self impose limits. Whomever get's credit for the mantra, "Diversity is the Spice of Life" was correct. I wholeheartedly agree.
A Diverse culture can also be a more intelligent culture! I think having diverse think tanks, various human backgrounds, and different social lifestyles, creates a well rounded human intellect.
In yesteryear, my Liberal Arts University degree and curriculum was a diverse assortment of classes. I recall taking college lectures, labs, and courses in a variety of fields. In my 120 hours of completed coursework, I took numerous doctoral, professor led courses. The subjects ranged from philosophy, society, chemistry, history, business, marketing, law, spanish, and more. The goal of the liberal arts, dart board course selection method is to create a well rounded graduate. Whom upon degree completion is prepared for any direction the working world is, and begins to transform to.
Pre-University Liberal Arts education, I kind of, maybe believed in my mother's Catholicism and religion. Post Liberal arts graduation, I see religion as a secular entity. Religion can sometimes be a divisive means of social grouping. Don't believe me, and I dare you, our wonderful Sample Spectrum reader, to travel the entire lands of the Middle East safely. In my unique opinion, I think religion is simply a way for like-minded people to congregate. As a result labels are given and social cliques are made. If you really think about it, choosing and practicing a religion is like joining a social group in High School? Were you a skater, smoker, jock, prep, band member, geek, nerd, cowboy, punk, or something else? There is a newly published book that has come out, which asserts a certain previous U.S.A president made biased, and wrongful decisions, based solely on their personal religious beliefs. As you can tell, I'm personally indifferent, or agnostic when it comes to religion currently. This could change one day, I suppose.
Moving forward, people are people. Live Colorblind. Live like a human. Adhere to the golden rule. Enjoy life, and embrace the DIVERSITY of Society. I think you'll have more fun if you do! I have.

Real Estate Agent Insights

To the outside world, I often wonder what is society's perception of the working realtor lifestyle? Do consumers simply think we sip latte coffees, go shopping, drive fancy cars, and collect hefty commission checks ? Are realtors just well connected "socialites" whom seek rich friends to sell homes? Is the public aware that a real estate agent's work can be very challenging, and carries a zero dollar base salary? I think consumers forget, that working realtors in general are a happy, fun, driven, and helpful collection of professionals. Realtors have an inner desire to be their own boss. Real Estate Agents are folks whom are instigators, and want to make things happen! Successful real estate agents are self promoters, avid workers, and posses conversational, relate-able, human people skills. To become a truly successful realtor, it requires a combination of different skills. A Real Estate Agent has the traits of a salesmen, business development guru, therapist, ...

A Man's Own Merit.

When does a male, truly transform from a child, adolescent, and youth, into a legitimate full grown man? Should "manhood" be considered a physical achievement? Is "manhood" achieved once a state of adulthood, responsibility and grown-up level is conquered? Is "manhood" acquired once a male has become a rainmaker and created his own family? A family, for example with a wife and children? When is a male officially a truthful, gentle, full legitimate grown MAN? I am simply curious? In my humble opinion, a man's own merit is achieved at different time levels for each us. For example, let us a say a young boy, loses his father tragically to death at a youthful age. To such sadness as say war, a traffic accident or medical loss. If a youth under the age of 18, loses his father to death, this would probably force the boy to grow up faster than is necessary. Sometimes a man, must grow out of his father's shadows and legacy. For example, when P...

The INNER Agenda

What are the REAL reasons, why people do things? Are they caring, giving, selfless souls OR are they of the capitalist mindset and always think, "What's in this for me?" For example, the honorable giving soul is one whom volunteers and give backs to their community. Perhaps this person is a manager and their agenda is to help guide and assist the workers below them. A person with no agenda, simply helps others for the sake of their inner soul and good deed morals. An example of a few no inner agenda occupations could be teachers, priests, social workers, volunteers, rehabilitation counselors, etc. These occupations tend to lead to selfless, non-capitalist motivation. These specific types of humans, may possess a genuine caring mindset. Personally for me, and for better or worse, I have been heavily gravitating towards the "How does George Vance" benefit from this mindset. Lately, in my professional work and personal life, I consciously perform actions ...
