The Humvee, most commonly (and mistakenly) known as the Hummer, was brought to the civilian market by the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This happened mainly because Arnold loved the vehicle that, according to his agent (Lou Pitts) was something unique, big, and also larger than the beefy man, so to say. Given his passion for the military-grade Humvee, Arnold contacted AM General and stated that this type of vehicle must be brought to the...

Everybody is prone to experiencing failure, no matter what their social status is. That being said, even celebrities can experience failure, and in many cases, it is what shapes them into the human beings we see on TV all the time. It is the same case with Jim Carrey, who also had to face failure before he could become the comedian we all love today. Is it a shock that Jim Carrey himself went...

Mike Tyson was the youngest person to ever win the heavyweight championship at 20 years old. Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook at 19. Kailash Satyarthi survived an assassination attempt at 15 and won the Nobel Peace Prize by 20. There are lots of examples of “inexperienced” people doing extremely amazing things. They must have worked hard; they probably tried things and failed a lot behind closed doors. No one would call Tyson a ‘book-smart’ person,...

Imagine you are newly promoted to lead a small team responsible for getting an important task done. If this task doesn’t get done right, people could get hurt. Being in the lead position means you bear the responsibility of making sure the task is accomplished most efficiently while minimizing the risk of anyone getting hurt. You hear from your predecessor that one of the team members is never there, always has excuses, and seems...

Think back to when you were a child and recall Little Suzie had all the best toys, best clothes, and the coolest parties with bouncy houses. You never used to think about the fact that you didn’t really have many toys. You didn’t think about the fact that you used water in your cereal. You were happy, regardless. Little Suzie and her things, however, started to mess with your head. Through no fault...

You have a disfiguration or some form of obvious physical characteristic that isn’t the societal norm. Yet you dream of being a model or some other dream that requires society to see your physical characteristics completely different than they do today. But every day, you are looked at sideways, called names by kids who may or may not know any better, and treated like a disease or some charity case by society. Why can’t...

You’re filling out a form when you come across the ethnicity and race section. You may wonder, why do they have “Mexican, Latino or other Spanish” in the ethnicity selection, but no other ethnicities? Why is it that white and black are the only “colors,” and the rest seem to be countries/regions? Why is someone from the Middle East considered white? Why is Trump wanting to establish Jewish as a race/ethnicity? Why do we...

You’re toiling away at the most mind-numbing job that has nothing to do with anything you like. A few ‘middle managers’ are fighting over the next big promotion using every chance they can to one-up the other or stab someone in the back secretly. The catch is, you make a great salary, but you can’t stand the job. It’s starting to make you be like those other middle managers. It’s making you chronically annoyed,...
