I am incapable

I am unable to do anything. Everything I strive for goes wrong. I am helpless, useless and utterly full of shame. The things I want to do I do not do and the things I do not want to do I do. Lucky for me there is one who came to save me. He saves me from my inadequacies. In him, I can accomplish anything no matter the impossibility. He has made me who I am today. He has challenge me nurtured me and taught me all I know. He protects me and guides me. It is when I obey him that life goes right and when I disobey and turn my back on him that I fall on my face.
Despite all he does for me I spit in his face and break his heart daily. I disappoint him and sometimes make him angry. But he forgives me every time as soon as I ask. His name is Yahweh.

An interesting interview

This was my first face to face interview. I have had several interviews over the phone but never face to face, at least none that I can remember. It was very different being in the same room as the interviewer. I had to be conscious of my actions. I have a habit of fidgeting, so I had to make sure that I did not distract my interviewer. I also had to make sure of eye contact. I didn't want to be a psycho billy ninja and have a death stare but I wanted to show confidence, trust, attentiveness and interest. I feel that I did a good job with both these things. I think that this was a great learning experience that will prepare me for future interviews.

Presentations

I thought the presentations a couple weeks ago were very good. I definitely learned some interesting things. I particularly enjoyed the one on Water polo and the one on Rock Climbing. I really liked the presentation on Water polo because I know some of the players on the team. I thought Nathan did a good job of using the ball to demonstrate techniques. I have a much better understanding now of a sport that I get to talk to Nathan about quite often.
I thought the Rock Climbing Presentation was interesting because I have done some recreational climbing. I learned a lot more details about the sport and I also thought the video was very cool. I also liked that I got a lolly pop at the end for answering a question correctly. The candy made it a very memorable presentation for me.

Sports Obsession

The sports industry is one of the largest in the world. There are multiple channels devoted to sports. There are entire channels devoted to just one league of a sport. Millions of men waste hours a day reading articles and posting comments. There are politics even in sports. People have their entire days and weeks ruined because their team lost.
Why are we so obsessed with sports? Obviously we enjoy playing the games, but why do we obsess with watching them and cheering for "our team?" Does it help us escape from reality? Perhaps. But why do we want to escape from reality? Is it because our reality is so depressing and boring? If the answer is yes, then perhaps we should change our reality instead of complaining about how the coach isn't any good or the top player chokes under pressure.
A game should not ruin our day, week, month, year, or even life. This happens to some people. Are we forgetting that it is just a game? It is meant for enjoyment and to help our bodies stay fit.
I say we reevaluate our devotions to our sports teams.

Articles on Resumes and Cover Letters

The first article I read was the one on CVs for applying to jobs abroad. The article speaks of different preferences in different regions. Most foreign countries prefer a very simple and straight forward Curriculum Vitae. One thing I really like was where it said refer to team accomplishments as if you were part of a team instead of boasting only about what you did by yourself.
I also looked at the article called "Six Tips for Writing A Winning Cover Letter." I liked the idea of addressing the letter to a specific person. This seemed like a good idea that will help someone remember you. It is a good use of ethos.
