COVID-19 is an opportunity to work from home and to reimagine the everyday

Motivation The late Zig Ziggler often spoke about the "I've had it" moment. This is when someone an individual's frustration with their life reaches its boiling point. The moment that individual decides I need to change something, I need to better myself. We as a society have reached that revelling moment in terms of how we live every day. What I am referring to is is how we live. The reality for many people in recent years is the following;  While you read this, I am sure you can think of someone who has retired early because they have paid off their mortgage.

Is University worth it?

Introduction Education is something that is important to all of us. Whether you’re somebody who didn’t finish high school or somebody who did go to University and not only got their bachelor but masters and PhD as well. Our time in education plays a massive role in how we see ourselves, our careers and much of the world around us. It is education where we got some of our first experiences of friendship and love as well as confusion and worry about our future. In this piece, I am going to speak about my own experiences in University and discuss both the pros and cons of attending an institution that can be seen as the most important decision in many people’s lives. Finally, I will finish with a conclusion.    Personal Story First of all, I have never been and I will likely never be an "A student." For the most part, I am a straight “C” student (55% to 70% ).  In secondary school (6 years between the ages of 12 and 18 in Ireland) I received maybe, 5 As (85% or higher). All ...
