Determinator

What IS a Determinator?  According to TV Tropes the answer is:  A character - good or evil, male or female, young or old - who never gives up.  Ever . No matter what. There is no stopping the Determinator. They do not understand tact. They do not  Know When to Fold 'Em , and it's a waste of time to  tell them the odds . No one can reason with them. They'll  do whatever they have to   without question.  No price is too great  to pay for success, up to and including their own life (and others'). Do not expect them to realize they might be better off letting it go, even if  they can barely stand . If you're ever kidnapped or lost with no hope of rescue, they'll be the one  who will find you . Their adversaries will shout, in exasperated rage,  "Why Won't You Die?!" . For them, there is no line between "perseverance" and "insanity." Some Real-Life Determinators, according to TV Tropes, are:...

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm an  animal lover, and they also know that my main  animal love is the  four-legged-pooch-type,  also known as  "Man's best friend." 🐶 My furry family has taught me a lot, but of all the things that I've learned from  them,  the most important two things have been forgiveness and gratitude.  Forgiveness Now I'm not implying that you can abuse a dog and they will easily forgive and  forget.

Serving Others Well

Image
When you follow the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", then serving others well becomes a natural, innate part of your life.  This is nothing new. We have all heard this phrase, and for some of us it was a moral lesson consistently taught to us by our loving parents.  To serve others well simply means to put yourself in their shoes and see their wants, needs, desires, goals, ambitions, and dreams as if they were your very own, and then to work hard doing everything you can to help meet those needs or to make those things a reality for them.  Are you in sales? Do you provide a specific service? Are you a blogger or writer? Whatever your job, business, or service is, simply ask yourself "what would I want or expect in this situation if the roles were reversed?"   Then, honestly answer that question and make the necessary adjustments, if any.  And i f the product, service or writing isn't something that you would...
