I have to say that I am very grateful to live in city where the word “melting-pot” is reached agreeable upon many people. Anchorage, The largest city on the Last Frontier – Nicely tucked into a space that only you and I can understand by map or plane. The uniqueness of this city is far from static, more specially, the culture aspect. In general, most people would say mixing cultures is the norm – In America, People from all sorts of lands come to be free and live the American dream.
The majority of things I like are the results of exploration of cultures. When I was younger, I was introduced to Mexican food. My next door neighbors were matured older adults from Mexico. I learned so much from them. Learning to speak Spanish, understanding the culture and allowing me to teach them more English slang.
When I was ten, sadly the culture for me changed to a more limited flair for me because I moved into a different town (much smaller town). I have no regrets however but I believe the change was a sub-culture within it. Where was the exchange of differences? I certainly was not open to the fact that our town was one flavored race. I hope I am not I am offending anyone, but when a small town becomes one culture all-round it can become stale (cultural speaking). I believe that the town has changed a little since then but it truly does make an impact on a child when they grow up.
I often think about mixing paint together – Its part of my artist background in me I assume. Just think about the place you live in. What type canvas is it? The people around you, what media/medium are you?
I think the positive experience that I received as a child created some sort of yearning for change in my life. When I went to college I was re-introduced to culture melting again, it wasn’t truly melting together, still this was sub-cultured with separation. The town was much bigger but still had a degree of ghetto-ism. I have to admit that any place you live in or where ever you visit there will always be separation. When I decided to further my goals somewhere else. I landed a place where I truly saw and became part of the melting pot. Anchorage is that place, I understood my place and the cultures started to kindled together in my head.
I was taken away from this experience this weekend when I had some food at the mall. Mexican food created by Asians? I was curious so I had to try it. They mixed the cultures together other than our Americanized versions. Asian style Mexican food? I have to admit – it was different but I enjoyed it. I had a spicy chicken burrito with Asian flavors. Rice and beans to go with it.
have you ever experienced any of these events in your life? If so, make a comment here at techone.us or send me a tweet.
I have the greatest ideas in the world and yet I still have them. Are ideas powerful? I think they are as powerful as intentions. I struggle with intentions and intend to carryout my duties. I recently watched a TV show called “Horders”. The show is about people hording their living places. What a tragic way to live, it atleast it my assumption they hate living in this type of environment. Well, I am trying to attempt to relate that with Idea Hoarding. My thoughts are great and lovely… I can spend the rest of my life thinking of ways of helping people. Still after spending my glorious days on earth I remain the same in thinking: thinking of ways of helping people. I gained nothing. When I watched this show, it was so painful to watch to see a grown adult cry over something so useless and not to mention the embarrassment factor involved. But if they had used the item when they bought it and with their intended use I think they would be considered a valuable part of their community but sadly the quick intent became an antique thought. I think I can relate to that mentally in my own struggles. I have ideas and dreams that I promised myself to do but they are still hanging out in the back-burner. My ideas will soon become clutter in my mind and just be a pile of rubish at the end IF I don’t do it now! I loved this show because it had a good ending. Not only it show the craziness of their homes but the reality of change. The show hired professional organizers to help the owners to declutter and manage the home. The qoute I love the most was “I tended to clean up the house yesterday but I do it tomarrow” the reply was “Well, Yesterday is NOW!”. It stops the mental cycle of I will do it later and doesn’t give you an option of tommarow. So… with the help of family and friends the house was clean. Sharing the help made the differance. Still think about this…. I need to share my ideas and dreams with like minded people. I did and I will continue to get better at turning my ideas and dreams into reality with the help of others. I recently started to write in a pad for my ideas. I started a book called “To inspire a generation”. I manage my time and efforts and in hope of a completed book for sharing with others. It take action with an idea to make it work.
My title sounds so vanilla when you hear it – read it out loud and stare at it! To me it sounds like a harsh tone from your parents or some high school counselor. It gives you the feeling of ”Make it worthwhile here because this will be your personal hell for the next four years”. (First day of High School)
I don’t why I feel like writing about making decisions, maybe its because I feel that its important for all us. Decisions are important because they are the things that we will do next after them.
Loop (decide(action))
I know it seems circular thinking but it is true. What we do now affects us in the future. I forgot to mention this: It doesn’t matter how big the decision is but how you treat it. If you just think the small choices we make don’t change the way we live later you might just think again. Each small decision that we make has a large cost or a reward. I try to write and convey my thoughts acceptable for others to read and simply write from my own experiences. One example would be applying for a summer leadership program. This particular program was for people with disabilities. I hated applying for it. I had a disabilty but God no! “I wasn’t like them”….”Those people” forget! but I soon realized that my pride and prejudgement would hurt me inside later that summer. Luckily my parents shared with me how important this could be for me. My parents didn’t force me to go! I made that small decsion to go! and eventually it made an everlasting impact on my life! My career, thoughts and general outlook on todays things.
Now after I think about it! I believe that making good decisions now will help you create better ones in the future. I would love any comments or feedback. Remember that you always have choices and decsions to make! :)
