Pay Attention to the Signs: What Leadership can Learn from a Sidewalk Closure

We’re often so focused on where we’re headed, we forget to question if the path is still right. The sign may be obvious—but clarity only helps when we take the time to notice it. Have you ever walked straight toward a warning sign, certain the path was still open—until you found it wasn’t? There’s something symbolic about a sidewalk that looks open but has a sign clearly telling you otherwise. It…

"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever"

Ambrose Bierce was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and American Civil War veteran. 

Born: 24 June 1842, Meigs County, Ohio, United States

Died: Chihuahua, Mexico

Military Service: Ambrose Bierce served as a soldier in the American Civil War. He enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 18 and fought in several significant battles, including the Battle of Shiloh. His wartime experiences greatly influenced his later works, and he wrote a number of stories based on his observations during the conflict.

"The Devil's Dictionary": Bierce is renowned for his satirical lexicon, "The Devil's Dictionary." Originally published as "The Cynic's Word Book" in 1906, the collection provides humorous and often sardonic definitions for words. Bierce's wit and sharp commentary on various aspects of society, politics, and human behavior are evident throughout the entries.

Disappearance: One of the enduring mysteries surrounding Ambrose Bierce is his disappearance. In 1913, at the age of 71, he traveled to Mexico during the Mexican Revolution and was never heard from again. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unknown, and it has fueled speculation and intrigue for over a century.

Journalistic Career: Before gaining fame as a fiction writer, Bierce had a successful career as a journalist. He wrote for several newspapers, including the San Francisco Examiner, where he worked under William Randolph Hearst. Bierce's columns often showcased his sharp wit and criticism of contemporary issues.

Realism and Occult Themes: While Bierce is often associated with realism and satire, he also explored supernatural and occult themes in some of his works. His short stories such as "The Damned Thing" and "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" incorporate elements of horror and the supernatural, showcasing a different aspect of his storytelling.

Week 10: Holy Week Traditions and Family Time

This week, we took a pause from our academic tasks to observe and celebrate Holy Week. It was a time for rest, reflection, and reconnecting with family. Instead of focusing on schoolwork, I spent most of the week helping at home, especially in preparing food and joining in our family traditions. We made simple dishes together and shared stories while cooking, which made the moments more special.

Aside from that, we also took time to remember the meaning of Holy Week through prayer and reflection. It felt peaceful to step back from the usual stress and focus on spiritual and family life. Although we paused our project for a while, it was a much-needed break for everyone. Week 10 reminded me of the importance of balance between school and personal life. #HolyWeek2025 #FamilyTime #TraditionsMatter #SpiritualBreak #PauseAndReflect #NoAcadJustPeace

A persistent headache…

Introduction:

As I sit here with a persistent headache, the rhythmic throb echoing in my temples, I find myself drawn to introspection. In a world that often demands constant activity and productivity, taking a moment to reflect on discomfort can be a surprisingly enlightening experience. Join me on this journey as I navigate through the fog of a headache and explore the lessons it brings.

The Symphony of Discomfort:

The headache, like an unwanted guest, has settled in. Its steady rhythm becomes a symphony of discomfort, playing against the backdrop of everyday life. Instead of resisting this intrusion, I choose to listen to its notes. There is wisdom in discomfort, a silent teacher that nudges us towards self-awareness.

The Pause Button:

In a culture that glorifies constant motion, the pause button can be revolutionary. As I sit here, resisting the urge to power through the pain, I am reminded that it's okay to hit pause. The world won't crumble if I take a moment to care for myself. In fact, embracing the pause often leads to increased clarity and productivity when I return to the tasks at hand.

Mindful Reflection:

A headache is more than just a physical ailment; it's a mental and emotional experience as well. As I close my eyes and turn my attention inward, I become aware of the thoughts racing through my mind. What stresses have I been carrying? What emotions have I neglected? Mindful reflection in moments of discomfort allows me to address not only the symptoms but also the root causes.

The Gift of Stillness:

In the midst of discomfort, there is an unexpected gift – stillness. As I sit here with my headache, I am forced to slow down. The world outside may be chaotic, but within the confines of my own experience, there is a serene stillness. It's a reminder that even in the most challenging moments, there is an oasis of calm waiting to be discovered.

Reconnecting with the Breath: In the chaos of a headache, the breath becomes an anchor. As I focus on each inhale and exhale, I find a momentary reprieve from the pain. The breath is a constant companion, a reminder that even in discomfort, there is an element of control. It's a simple act, but one that can transform the way we navigate challenges.

Conclusion:

As I sit here with a headache, I realize that discomfort is not my enemy but a messenger. It whispers lessons of self-care, mindfulness, and the importance of embracing stillness. In the symphony of discomfort, I find a unique melody that guides me towards a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. So, the next time you find yourself with a headache or any discomfort, consider it an invitation to pause, reflect, and discover the hidden treasures within the silence.
