Mistrust in relationship by Garry PAMPHILE

It is part of the human condition to express one’s thoughts about one’s daily life especially when it comes to in a relationship. Many people have publicly accused of cheating or infidelity from their partner, and dealt unhappily for years or months sometimes with this intolerable situation. Surprisingly, a person never really intends to fall in love, it just happens but when one of the members is victim of suspicious that could create a panic situation and even challenging. Sometimes a couple create problem through acts of simple coincidence and compromises after few wonderful memories from a lifetime. Once this trust is threatened it can for ever destroy the possibility of any future intimacy and trust. The deeper of the irony behind closed doors become a lot more complex when the accusation is surrounded by people this couple knows in their live but no by a stranger.
Finally, it is important for two people who accept to live together need to work and building trust in a relationship. Couples who trust each other have security and probably feel closer. In a similar fashion, trust on both sides is important because it is a great sign of friendship where the world feel like a much better place to live.

Haitian Youth's Reality



S
ince many decades now, Haiti has encountered many difficulties in ensuring the security for its Citizens and Foreigners in the country. For many past years, which is probably the case today, Haiti was well-known for its high rate of criminality, in addition to being also well-known for being the poorest country with the most unemployed in the Western Hemisphere. This high criminality rate is considered by many, experiencing first-hand the reality of this country and its youth, to be the primary reason of International Investors’ reluctance to coming and investing in Haiti; according to those same people, the high criminality rate and the young Haitian citizen graduated from High school who cannot afford Higher studies are totally interwoven and interrelated and sorting the latter out will automatically mitigate the impact of the other. The one-million dollar question that always comes out is “How comes the criminality in Haiti is linked to the Youth?”

Most of the Northern and Emerging countries have developed educational and training programs for Youth so that they can participate in the long run to the development of their country. These countries believe that investing in human is one of the first step for a country to take in order to grow economically and also, that investment done in human at an early age that could be considered between 18-25 years old, in educating them, would be helpful in order to prevent the young people to turn to illegal activities because of a feeling of exclusion generated in them; and it will allow them to be aware earlier of the problems adults are facing so that they can start thinking and working to find better solutions. At this age, it is mandatory for a country’s political leaders to focus  on capacity development and education for the Youth due to the fact they can be influenced easily to any kind of illegal activity and because of their sudden desire, at that same age, for independency.

The Northern and Emerging countries tag the need for educating and mentoring young people as priority, because they recognize how important it is for the stability of a country to train that age group aforementioned at the most vulnerable stage of a man’s life where changes are often radical.
Law school
In Haiti, the largest number of young people who cannot afford paying school and sometimes cannot eat is from a seemingly second-class, but this second-class name assigned to them is rather a cover to prevent people living abroad from seeing and saying that 90% of the Haitian population is poor and unable to entirely meet their needs. Those people, due to a lack of fund and income generating activity, have their children ceased with their high school and sometimes cannot go to University. This situation, excessively dependent on the response of each to abject situations, often conducts the youngest one into doing whatever they can, whether good or bad, in order to gain the least to survive. “But what is it we can do when living in a country where the responsible people don’t really care about you” what they are constantly thinking about, so many times these unanswered questions that come to their mind usually make them turn themselves to criminal activities that they consider as a making-money-come-easy way.
Income generating activities for young people
Talking about security, these young people became dangerous by the simple fact that they are not taken into account by the elected ones who were supposed to take care of them. These young people that should normally be at school and University in order to partake to their country’s development often generate terror when their name are called or said in the news. They engage themselves in all sorts of illegal activities (such as robbery, kidnapping, carjacking, drug dealing etc.) with the aim of earning money in order to live. 

In their community, people who do as they say, can be dwelt by a feeling of security because they have the promise that they will not be hurt but those who refuse to comply with their words, can be severely punished, killed or feeling themselves forced to leave the neighborhood (which will, as well, be made impossible because these same young terrorists will not let them to). In most places where such situation is occurring, Police forces cannot make any intervention and projects, in order to develop these communities, are either unable to be implemented or fail while being implemented. 

Some project implementers have experienced major loss during and after projects implementation in certain communities, mostly equipments loss that were stolen by those young people to be sold after.

Only 6 questions by Spencer R. SPADY

Have you ever waken up one day and feeling like you in "The Matrix"? Like everything that seems to be is really the contrary of what really is? 

Do you REALLY have a purpose in life and does, according to you, your life have a meaning?

Do you remember the day in your life that you did something different apart from the routine you've followed for years?

Have you once questioned about how a life should be properly lived?

Don't you have the feeling that you are dreaming?


Having a Job by Wesner PAMPHILE


            Having a job is important in one’s life. A job provides us with the money necessary to earn a living. Working and bringing in a steady paycheck provides the ability to feed one’s family, as well as provide housing, clothing, and other day-to-day necessities. Having a job provides the money to work toward an education, and having an education allows an individual to take better care of their family and allows the “Pursuit of Happiness” (“The Declaration of Independence” ushistory.org/declaration/document. 16 June 2011) in following the American Dream. 
Having a good education puts someone in a position to get a better job. A person with a high school diploma may only be considered for a lower paying job, like working at McDonalds or any fast food restaurant. However, someone with a higher education may be considered for a better position with a higher salary and more benefits. With a professional job it is possible to make advancements in lifestyle and standard of living. This also makes tuition for additional courses more affordable. Having a degree and a job often opens the opportunity to earn advanced degrees. Having a steady income enables the worker to feel like a valuable part of the household. Probably the most important aspect of working and having money is the paramount importance of feeding one’s family. Having good and healthy meals can help the family to remain healthy. Working may also provide the opportunity for upward movement to home ownership. By saving a little bit from each paycheck, it is possible to get enough money for a down payment on a house. This is one of the most important ways to change someone’s lifestyle.
When a person has a steady job, money starts coming in and action takes place, like planning to purchase the basics needed and extend the budget to buy better quality items for the house. These might include furniture, new clothes and a car if needed. It also enables one to help pay bills, reduce household debt and plan for the future. Often it is fun to go shopping at several stores, and spend money along the way. For this reason, and others it is necessary for everyone to have a job. A job also makes for a comfortable lifestyle which is essential in pursuing happiness. According to the article: Is Happiness Actually Important? “On average happy people are more successful than unhappy people at both work and love. They get better performance reviews, have more prestigious jobs, and earn higher salaries”. (Christine Carter) It is obvious that happiness is related to success. When one has a job, things work good in the household kids are happy because they can get what they ask for, like toys, going out to playgrounds, buying gifts. They enjoy having a birthday party organized or any kind of activities created for the children, such as sports or music lessons. Additionally, working allows the family to consider other activities, such as planning to go on vacation or attend a family reunion, which might also include travel.

Happiness starts with a good conversation in the house, reduces any emotional stress and increases chances for success. Therefore, having a job not only helps people to pursue happiness but also builds positive family relationships by removing financial worries and stress from the family. According to Charles D. Kerns, PHD, MBA . happiness comes from work experiences that yield positive emotions, positive thoughts, and/or positive images in people. Positive emotions in particular have the capacity to “build and broaden” people’s positive response repertoire. People who approach tasks with positivity have been found to be more productive, creative and resilient.

Earning a living is one of the most important things in society. Having a job gives a person the financial ability to provide for their family, manage household expenses and consider extras like vacations or travel. It also makes it possible to consider home ownership, which is a main part of the American Dream. And finally, the person with a good job possesses self-confidence and well-being by contributing to the household and society, and this brings happiness.
