The Robber

During a robbery, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

The Encyclopediot

Talking about uniqueness falls short on which type of uniqueness a person has. Uniqueness could be either an advantage or usefulness or it could be just plain abnormal which makes one standout among the rest of the crowd. With the vast examples that could be possibly used, let's take for instance knowledge or intellect. You may have encountered people who seem to know everything regardless whatever topic there is or could just be plainly repeating what other people just said like a parrot or a recording machine on auto playback. Looks smart eh? Nah, there's a word that fits such people.

Leader VS Boss

For an organization/entity/team to be great, it must have great leadership. Leaders are people that are responsible for inspiring, guiding and leading a group of people on a path for a common cause. Leaders have vision and willing followers. They look beyond the here and now to see the vast potential of their organization. Leaders accomplish their goals in ways different from bosses.

A salute is a gesture or other action used to display respect. Salutes are primarily associated with armed forces, but other organizations and civilians also use salutes. The salute is “the most important of all military courtesies,” says a manual, titled “Customs and Courtesies,” for Marine Corps officer candidates. “In general, do not salute when… carrying articles with both hands or being otherwise so occupied as to make saluting impractical,” the manual says.

Morale, Welfare and Recreation

This does not concern the uniformed service or any government agency/office/company for that matter. This is just about the daily lives of contractors and civilian employees outside working hours and during their free time. How they manage to keep themselves happy or occupied is none of my business but this post is just a summary observation from a third person point of view. Whatever words written in this post are in general or at least and does not point to specific person nor intend to imply anything aside from the subject matter. Some uniformed service readers may find similarities in their situation but the author emphasizes this is in no way related to them in any way.

The Wall

This may seem an ordinary wall but it is not and there's nothing special about it. What makes this wall out of the ordinary but nothing special one might ask is about a tiny detail just above the paint job. Well, you have to zoom in close to the wall to see it. The video below will show you the tiny detail as mentioned above. Be advised, the video may contain disturbing material that can cause discomfort specially when eating. Viewer discretion is advised. You've been warned.

Leap Of Faith

A leap of faith, in its most commonly used meaning, is the act of believing in or accepting something intangible or unprovable, or without empirical evidence. It is an act commonly associated with performing and or executing a planned task with no clear result but expects or hopes for the outcome to be in favor of the person who performs the act. It is also an act commonly associated with religious belief as many religions consider faith to be an essential element of piety. But let's not get into the aspect of religion since faith equals many religions and beliefs.

Dedication

Dedication can be defined depending on one's mindset and purpose. Regardless of the medium or form used to show it, defining it would depend on an individual alone. Sure there are a lot of ways to show it but there are a lot of thing to consider and weigh in taking it to one’s own self. Dedication is influenced by the condition of the mind, body, environment, emotion and values one embodies not to mention the obstacles that lay on the way.

Unannounced

What breaks your daily routine, expectations, and plans would always come in a surprise. You can be caught with your pants down or bare-footed and your initial reaction would be either frozen during that time, disbelief, shocked or simply awed like hearing the sound of a big bang or an empty glass or breakable household wares falling to the ground followed by a deafening silence.

Eating The Young

What's the best way to teach people about skills, values, knowledge, self dicipline and responsibility than at a young age. But its a bit different in teaching adults from that of the kids. Yes, most of us maybe raised by loving parents, schooled in universities, well educated and has a degree in the field of our choice. That having been said, would anyone care to accept things he/she finds new and outside of the norm one has been used to. From rules to interaction with the things and people around you to anything that might test your knowledge, values and capabilities as a human, as a professional and as an individual.

Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm. It applies to any vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, nation, or organization.
