FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR FUTURE
DEVELOP A VISION THAT FITS YOU
Looking at the future with new eyes can be intimidating. It might lead someone to reevaluate a career that has brought success but no joy. Or promp another to pursue more professional training. Reevaluation can lead to change and therefore risk.
But the key to develop a vision that fits your unique strenghts and gifts. In the other words, a future you can have a passion for. Ask yourself, what would I do if there were no risk of failure? What would I keep doing, even if I were not paid for the work? If you can’t decide whether to call an activity “work” or “play”, your enjoyment for the task will empower achievement and enrich your life far beyond reputation or salary.
So, think about things you enjoy doing, tasks you do well and personal work others have noticed. A good mentor then advise:
· Dream, pray and look for a vision.
· Take stock of your resources and get any needed training.
· Develop an action plan with specific goals and deadlines.
· Modify your plan as you go along.
Someone said we should look at our talents, then envision the future adorned with them. Our future is as personal and unique as our own fingerprint. It is energizing to recognize and use our true talents generously. As we do, the future can, indeed, be faced with great anticipation!
“My object in living is to unite my innovation with my vocation.” Robert Frost.

The basic element of the short story
The basic elements of the short story include
setting (time and place),
conflict,
character,
and theme.
Most stories are set in present day, but settings of place vary from rural to urban and exotic to mundane. The reader follows the main character (or protagonist) in a conflict with another character (or antagonist) or in an internal conflict with some antagonistic psychological or spiritual force.
Characters range from familiar stereotypes, such as the aggressive businessman and the lonely housewife, to archetypal characters, such as the rebel, the scapegoat, the alter ego, and those engaged in some sort of search.
The subject of a short story is often mistaken for its theme.
Common subjects for modern short fiction include race, ethnic status, gender, class, and social issues such as poverty, drugs, violence, and divorce. These subjects allow the writer to comment upon the larger theme that is the heart of the fictional work.
Some of the major themes of 20th-century short stories, as well as longer forms of fiction, are human isolation, alienation, and personal trauma, such as anxiety; love and hate; male-female relationships; family and the conflict of generations; initiation from innocence to experience; friendship and brotherhood; illusion and reality; self-delusion and self-discovery; the individual in conflict with society’s institutions;
mortality; spiritual struggles; and even the relationship between life and art.

An election in Australia
Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard noted
"In a different age, in a different nation, in a different time, President Barak Obama inspired a nation by saying, 'Yes we can.' I am asking you, when you vote on Saturday, to say as you cast that vote, 'Yes, we will.
Yes, we will move forward together.'
Friends, that's what next Saturday is all about and I ask you to say that we will move forward together."What voters thinkAs election day approaches, some voters appear rather underwhelmed by it all."There is nobody to take much interest in," a female voter said. "They are all saying the same things over and over and who to vote for even now a couple of days out, I do not know. Nobody really commits to anything. They try to sound like they will. I think it is too much built on personalities." Voting in Australia is compulsory. The electoral system uses both preferential voting and proportional representation for elections for the lower and upper houses of parliament.
