A SONG IN PRAISE ( Ambrose Bierce )



Hail, blessed Blunder! golden idol, hail!
Clay-footed deity of all who fail.
Celestial image, let thy glory shine,
Thy feet concealing, but a lamp to mine.
Let me, at seasons opportune and fit,
By turns adore thee and by turns commit.
In thy high service let me ever be
(Yet never serve thee as my critics me)
Happy and fallible, content to feel
I blunder chiefly when to thee I kneel.
But best felicity is his thy praise
Who utters unaware in works and ways
Who labor-are est or-are proves,
And feels thy suasion whensoever he moves,
Serving thy purpose, not thine altar, still,
And working, for he thinks it his, thy will.
If such a life with blessings be not fraught,
I envy Peter Robertson for naught.

By

( Ambrose Bierce )

On The New World Order ( Emmenay )

All the world's 'great' forces  Are up against Man, To destroy innocent people,  In all the ways they can. The big ones create 'heroes'; And let them on the loose, When the 'heroes' defy the big ones, They join to tighten the noose. The rule of might prevails, The meek are forced to obey, Those who dare to differ, Are removed out of the way. Might is the New World Order, As always the monarchs are out, To create chaos, disorder, And stifle the cries that shout. The cries that demand justice, The sighs that seek their rights, Are heard by few, like me, And one day! We shall conquer...! By ( Emmenay )

Motivation (Three Most Common Motivations)

Motivation is the driving force behind any goal-oriented activity. It is the desire that compels a person to action. People are motivated by different things. It is important to understand what motivates a person in order to know how to best motivate them. What motivates you???? . . . The term was first used in the early nineteenth century, and it has been a topic of discussion ever since. Motivation can be divided into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is internal, meaning that one does something because they enjoy it or find it interesting. Extrinsic motivation is external, meaning that one does something for some other reason outside of themselves like money or approval from others. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are often seen as opposites, but they can coexist in a single person or situation. For example, someone may do their job because they are paid well for it but also find enjoyment in their work on the side. — Motivation is somethin...

Sometimes I feel loneliness ( Raimund J. Holtich )

I’m Staying Alive In The Tragedy And In Mystery With or without a wife. Dreams are my reality. A writer, a painter, a musician, a sculptor am I. Sometimes I feel love, sometimes I feel pain. I’m dreaming. I’m feeling. I fly. I’m loving my fantastic brain. Sometimes I lost my fear. Sometimes I feel emptiness. Sometimes I miss your near. Sometimes I feel loneliness. By ( Raimund J.
