Quote of the Day ---"Reality"

"The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails."
--William Arthur Ward--

This made me think about reality and what it is really to be a realist. Does a realist just sit back and let things take place and live with how they are? Or does a realist realize what is happening and try to change it?

Hmmmmm....

"The Voting Fad"

Something that I do not understand is why people do not vote. I hear a lot of people complaining about the things that are going on in the world, but at the same time they are part of the problem because they do not do their part in helping to solve it and that is simply to vote. Many may argue that voting does not change anything, that all politicians are the same, that their one vote can make no difference. I could not disagree more. Yes, you have one vote, but if there are a million people who have that same mentality that is a million votes that are left out there and a million votes can definitely change things. Also, why not exercise your right as a citizen. There is an enormous amount of people that would do anything for the right to vote and have a hand and controlling the destiny of their country. By not taking advantage of this privilege, you are in a sense disrespecting what so many people have struggled to gain. I feel a lot of people refuse to vote just go against the norm or just to be different. Though that sounds stupid you would be surprised of some of the things people say to defend their position on why have not registered t vote or have not gone to the polls to vote. Voting is not a played out fad or fashion that comes around every couple of years. It is your voice to change the world and to influence what is going on in the world around you. Unless you have done your part, it is not right for you to complain what has or has not been done. Vote it is your voice. It is your right. It will make a difference.
