Or is a kind of choice thing. It’s this or that. One thing or another. You or me. Coffee or tea. Wine or beer. It’s about an alternative to something like Android or iPhone.

Being an original is so hard when so many want to be copy cats. Doing something new, innovative and exciting takes a lot of hard work. I think of people who were brave to create things that made the world a better place.
WordPress.com as a social blogging platform is full of original and creative people doing interesting things. Being original means standing out from the rest. It’s encouraging when original people empower others to be original themselves.

A dilemma is a situation we find ourselves in when we have a choice to make. It could be as important as your career and how to handle a family situation or as benign as what to order from the menu.

Being a human being I am not perfect and never will be. I sometimes make the same mistakes over and over again because I am crazy enough to hope for better outcomes the next time around. We all have a responsibility to own up to our mistakes because the wrong things we do have an impact on the people we know and love. Confession can help you deal with life’s mistakes. Never be so proud to say you are sorry and try, try, try not to do it again.
