We can't please everyone, but the best we can do is try with good intentions..
As a leader, I was for 7 to 8 years in my position, I only hoped to set an example for my team, for my peers, for my leaders. Never once did I feel it would be acceptable to make fun of anyone, regardless of what others thought of them because of a metric or a number. It was mostly about their intentions towards the company but mainly towards the customers they were servixing. To join in poking fun or laughing alongside insults towards certain individuals sets a perfect example of what the intentions are towards the belief they're not good enough.
I dealt with those individuals personally and did my part to show them they have potential regardless of their past experiences with training or lack of ability to learn based on reading for example. A lot of us are hands on. Me included. Some may have hurt the metric to help me as an employee in my position to succeed but what was more important to me was given anyone struggling the opportunity to display that potential by becoming the guidance they needed to become successful in the job they were hired into and promote themselves from there. My failures were looked at as me being too or giving too many chances to my employees. I can almost gairantee they worked harder because of the opportunity given to them.
I see leaders way above my pay grade and responsibilities acting a fool and not showing ownership for their insults, actions, and intentions. My success, our success, never was made about our differences. It was about coming together, regardless of our differences, and making it work for our team(s) and the success of our office in turn our company. As simple as that. But yet that can't be the case for those who support this guy running for president and want to join the insults and disrespect of others.
I don't want to make this about me but I need everyone to understand why it is important to work together, even though what people think of you, hurts you. In my last year in the company, the team I led and the office I led as a temporary manager, became the number 1 commercial team in dade and Broward and the number 1 office in dade and Broward. Not for me to take credit for the success but we were all able to come together and focus. Was it based on the trust or the treatment of the leaders in that office? Only those employees can answer that. But in the end, it wasn't good enough because of how upper management saw me. An image was painted because I wasn't selfish and the employees matter.
I was about the numbers but I was more about making sure my employees were respected as well as them respecting others. FIRING PEOPLE is not the answer like the former president wants to claim. Calling our opponents names and insulting them is not supposed to help them win an election or a debate. Yet his supporters want to act like him and talk like him and turn the lies he shares with all of us as truths for most to believe because it came out of his mouth.
I can share numbers, newspaper clippings, and data from resources, and it still won't be enough for the majority of MAGA. I'm sorry it seems like I'm picking on you MAGA, but you are on a different level than Republicans. I speak about my time in a leadership role to help compare how we are acting to how many were acting within the workforce. I'm sorry a lot of you don't see that Biden or Kamala didn't fix what needed fixing sooner than needed, but even if they did, all this hate going around will still be the main focus. It took me 8 years, 19 total if you will, to became a temporary manager to help get our workplace to the top of rankings as a team out of maybe 10 between 2 counties and as a system out of 10 between 2 counties. It still wasn't good enough, so I understand what Biden and Harris are going through. It's like no matter what they do or try to do, it won't be good enough for a lot of people because they are focused on 1 thing, whatever that may be. I can only relate, and I want others to relate with me instead of judging me or others who believe in Harris and/or Biden vs. Trump, especially those who worked with me...

Biden accomplished, and his party will continue to, but why???
My problem is, why does his own party have to make it public regarding their thoughts and feelings of having him step down as the candidate for the Democratic party? Are they more concerned about winning and losing than proving that this party can continue to succeed and support as many people as they can, such as mid to lower class workers?? It really isn't about the president alone. It's also about his or her administration. Those conversations need to be had behind closed doors. Not make us look like we can't accept our own POTUS, who, by the way, has done an amazing job so far. What needs to be shared are the plans and ideas of continuing to help continue the success of this country. I'm sorry, Trumplicans, but America was never great. Maybe tried to be great but the people here weren't helping. You can ask Native Americans, African Americans, or anyone that was considered a minority here, yet we are supposed to be the country for the people, of the people, and by the people.
Facts, facts, facts
Numbers speak for themselves, not lies or word of mouth. Message for Democrats, Republicans, the government, Congress, etc. Own what you right and what you wrong. Stop lying to us and convincing us it's the other side's fault. If anything, it's our fault for not trusting but verifying what is said or who is accused of certain things. If Congress or the government is on top of this country, of course, the citizens are going to depend on you to tell us the truth and not convince us otherwise and definitely not talk negatively about others unless they provide proof and gets verified that what is being shared with us through social media or through speech, is true. You're the ones working to make this country better, yet it seems like you're helping make it worse. Any debate should include someone fact-checking whatever is shared by whoever is debating. Facts are important to be proven as well as lies corrected.
Religion and government
Allowing division, hate, lies, and mixing religion in with government doesn't go well. Whether it's one party or not, religion does not run this country. We the People do. Religion is something we as people follow and support in the privacy of our own home or church. Why are we depending on the Bible to allow us to share hate and lies and misconduct? Yet there are a lot of people judging others because of their culture or religion. What if Christians were mocked and made fun of or judged because of the actions of Trump followers and mostly calling their religion to support him. I can only hope that human rights are not being confused as religious rights according to the Bible. Yet we have a candidate saying he's not Christian but supports them and says if you vote for him, you won't have to vote anymore after 4 years. Do people not see what he is saying with that?
The Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independance, Preamble, Amendmants to the Constitution, were written by the people of the United States and agreed upon the people of the United States. I thought love thy neighbor was a message to be shared with all. I thought the "Ten Commandments" describes what is right and wrong. I'm not trying to combine the two, but it seems that people will interpret anything to what's convenient to them. We, as adults, are not uneducated children being raised in the dark. We have common sense and common knowledge of what is wrong or right. It may not be the same for everyone, but no one deserves insults or abuse verbally or physically, even mentally and emotionally. I guess we can make a case for those who intentionally hurt others verbally and physically and are deserving of it, but no one is the law or above it.
People put a government and laws in place to help us follow right vs. wrong. That may be different for everyone, but again, we have common sense, and we shouldn't include religion in law making decisions. When it comes to the government and laws of the people by the people and for the people, it doesn't involve religion and its laws. There are many religions that are followed and practiced here. Each religion is right to them. It may sound unfortunate, but it is the truth. It's not for me to convince you of what religion anyone should follow. You want to be American, follow the laws of America. You want to run for president or any other seat available, do use religion to convince people or to be convinced.
Success is not measured by one specific quality.
President Biden is able to run this country. He knows the difference between right and wrong. Yes, his speaking may be off, or his age is a concern, but he's gotten stuff done regardless. The ones who don't know the difference between right and wrong are the people because of all the lies and misinformation out there plus the fact that people don't believe in reading to know what the facts are. They listen to what social media has to say without evidence or what who they support, which says without evidence. Democrats just embarrassed themselves in front of our country, making it public that they don't back the president that has done such good in the short time he's been president. A lot more than Trump did in his 4 years full of insults and complaining and not letting go of conspiracies even after he lost in 2020 til this day, even during his presidency between 2016 and 2020.
Alot of people want to sit here and focus on Bidens faults with speaking and age and just ignore what he's done for all of us in this country and ignore the exaggerating, untrue, violent comments as well as lack of knowing how to speak with truth. A lot of it is the opposing party trying to convince you. Not with facts, but with disrespect and insults, even lies. Biden has proven himself with what he's passed in his term and how it has affected the majority of this country. Not hurt us or turn us against each other. Is that what Republicans wants for the U.S.? To turn us against each other and push buttons to the point that It will cause reactions of violence and give reasons that prove we can't handle the back and forth when one side is pushing and causes reaction from the other?
Biden is one that has been theough a lot of loss in his life and he sits there to help improve our way of living and to help find a way to rid what holds us down. The immigration has been an issue since I could remember. No one is able to come up with a solution. Why do Republicans want to blame it on Biden? Our infrastructure. Biden is doing something about it. Why is that not recognized by Republicans. The economy is heading back up in the right direction. Why doesn't Republicans notice that instead of making false statements for their supporters to believe?
It's up to the people
We are the ones who can make a difference with compassion and acceptance of "We the People" in the U.S. of A!! Not the D.S. of A!! (Divided States of America). I have to sit here and remind people this country became because of the involvement of other cultures. The British, even though we had to start an American Revolution because of them, they did play a part yet Americans treated Native Americans, African Americans, Mexicans worse than they were being treated by the British before the American Revolution. I guess the action was based on greed and not the people? We need to set the example for this country because this country is about its people. Yes, there are some who have other intentions or reasons when it comes to committing crimes or acting out negatively, but that is true for all people here. Whether immigrant or citizen, it makes them no different than the actual criminal when it comes to certain behaviors. We have family and friends that don't agree with what we feel or think. Would you sit there and tell everybody how dump or stupid they are because they agree with your views? Of course not. I'm sure you will either find a way to agree to disagree or come up with a plan where both of you can feel comfortable with each other. Would you wish arm or cause harm or hurt on them? They can't compare to the public or strangers but they are people as well as your family and friends.
Our History
A lot of land here was owned by Spain, Mexico, and Native Americans. I know of a few areas owned by other countries such as Texas, was property of Mexico, Florida was property of Spain, and I'm sure everyone knows by now that the United States was originally inhabited by American Indians. Those are just some examples. The end result of the American Revolution ended up in continuing of slavery and continuing to push Native Americans aside, yet we fought a revolution in response to needing our rights. Or was "our" meant to be for white America. Not according to Lincoln and the then Democratic Republican party before he was assassinated and had a bill in place to pass, giving African Americans the right to be citizens if they were born here and free from slavery. Enough of a history lesson, but I'm starting to wonder why Republicans today want to control what's taught in school. Again, it's word of mouth, but it makes me think of the intentions behind the action that I shared with you here.
Intentions
There's a saying that reads, "actions speak louder than words." That is very true. But do you know what speaks louder than our actions or words? Our intentions. Unfortunately, we never know what one's true intentions are, and the only one who knows is the person acting or speaking. It is difficult to trust anyone, but we all have common sense and pay attention to one's words and actions. However, the message is being provided and ask the questions that will help you understand the why behind the words being shared as well as the action. Native Americans, African Americans, Mexico, Spaniards, as well as other allies played a part in building this country into what we are supposed to be based on the people and the suffering we were and still are faced with. That includes everyone. Minority or not. HATE AND VIOLENCE AS WELL AS INSULTS ARE NO REMEDY OR SOLUTION FOR ANYTHING ANYONE DOES NOT AGREE WITH!! It's almost like if Trump jumps off Trump Towers, his followers would do the same.
Is it a cult?
I don't get it. How can they not see the evil he is behind? Because it's a cult, and cults follow their leaders no matter how nasty he can be. For all the Trump supporters, look up cult leaders and what they made their followers do. It's the same situation here. Convince their followers what they are doing wrong, is the right thing because of a religion or reading in a bible that gets read and interpreted otherwise and misleads their followers into doing wrong towards others. Based on their interpretation of whatever religion and combining it with their mental breakdown or hate, it's easy to convince people of wrongdoing because, for some reason, that's what gets our attention. When someone running for president just goes up during a debate to insult his opponent and not discuss the economy and any solutions he will provide in his or her term if elected, what purpose do they have debating? That's all he did was repeat the same garbage he talks about regarding Biden and democrats. Is that what democrats need to do? Go up and insult or show hate towards Republicans? No, they are people too. But one side wants to try to declare civil war on our country and for what? Because they want the republican party to win the presidency?? It's not all Republicans though. It's the M.A.G.A. Trymp supporters. You are the ones causing the violence and uproar within our own country. You're not helping your parties image. No one can make everyone happy. If we work together, we can help unite and resolve our problems. We have other leaders or positions of power that can help us locally, and it isn't all on the president. Mayor's, governors, Police cheifs, etc. The factor is we, and they all have to be honest and not favor one side or the other.
Media, whether social or news
I don't understand why news media and how they report news or deliver the news in a way that gets us to worry. It's almost as if they question it even though they were the main ones question, for example, the president's ability to continue running as president with another term. The main ones causing the questions become the main ones to ask the wrong questions instead of trying to realize this was a decision made by the president. What we think is not the truth of whether or not it's the right decision. Wait until you speak with the White House or Biden's administration. Your job is to provide us the news and give us updates, but don't spin it into something that's not. Bidens' decision to drop out of the candidacy his one that we will eventually find out from him or his administration as to why. It's not for the media to scare us into worry or doubt, regardless of what the public has been sharing amongst each other or on social media. Speaking of social media. It's an easy platform to turn truth onto lies or just make up stories for the vulnerable to believe and cause confusion amongst ourselves.
I remember growing up and my parents telling me, "one thing you never do is talk politics or share what party you support." I see why now because it's a topic no one can convince anyone to support either side by discussion. We all have to experience the failures ourselves and the successes and decide for ourselves. It causes enemies within family and friends. We are also the ones causing friction amongst ourselves because we want to feel one side is wrong and the other is right. It's neither. Let them prove themselves through their words and their actions, truth and lies, proof and deception. We are all not helping ourselves. We have something called fact-checking. All of these social media apps should have some type of fact checking and the news needs to stop trying to focus on ratings and start focus on helping to keep us calm and collected until we hear from "the horses mouth" as they say, to find out what's going on instead of causing over reaction or anxiety.
Don't let lies, manipulation, or word of mouth convince you of anything. We all have ways to find out the truth behind everything. Is it easier to believe what someone you look up to or trust says? It doesn't mean you can't trust but verify. There's technological advancement out now that can also manipulate us like A.I., which is something Elon Musk used on his app to try to mislead people about VP Harris using A.I.

It may not be as simple as this, but try to understand..
Unfortunately for a lot of you, this relates to politics.....
Two parties disagree on anything, one insults the other or paints a bad picture for us about the other and vice versa. Instead of working together and figuring things out to help our country full of diverse Americans, citizens, and potential citizens, one party seems they want to divide us more and the other seems to I guess act a little soft on many things. So, work together to help make things happen. We are all not one-sided. We all want what's best for the country we live in. Think of it like parents and their children. As simple as that. Mom and dad want to raise their kids right. The right way may be different to one than it is to the other parent. Come together to figure it out. Why is that so hard. We are the kids of America. We will have arguments, disagreements, and doubts. Being independent is like deciding whether you want to live with mom or dad and the child or children of the couple. I'm not painting any picture of who mom or dad is if you're trying to relate. It's about the individual running as our presidential candidate and not doing it selfishly or encouraging hate on others or violence to resolve the problems within our country, our home. We live amongst others. Whether you like it or not, that's what this country became because of American Imdians, African America, Mexicans, even Britain and Spain. They were all a part of helping to build this country. Understand that instead of hating on anyone. We are all unique, but I can agree we all want the end result to be peaceful, not mislead, not convinced of something that isn't, and not mislead. Truth is the only way for success here, along with compassion and understanding of all people, whether rich or poor, without greed....

My view of life..
I was given a chance to continue life because something I was doing or my view of life, regardless of the hardship I faced, is helping me and many see there is goodness in this world or at least around them. I share that compassion or sympathy through my thoughts, words, or actions. I can interpret what I went through as punishment for any wrong I may have others may want to feel that way as well, but I do not. What I see was an unfortunate event I was faced with, and it did, for the moment, affect my view of life and what to expect, but that isn't and won't ever be the case. We are never punished for wrongdoings. If there is punishment, we cause it on ourselves with our decision how to respond, react, or deal with certain incidents. There is that "unfortunate event" that happens to many of us, and we may want to interpret our lives as what it isn't, but that's what it is when something unfortunate happens, an unfortunate event. Those events can not stop you from being who you are and continue living with that mindset and heart we honestly hold with good intentions. Keep your head, hope, and heart up. We will all be ok. Everything has a purpose, no matter how bad you may think it is. We all know our purpose, and that includes and involves the compassion, empathy, and understanding of others. What we are faced with may be an obstacle or an interruption, but keep living with purpose and reason, and we will all be ok. Just make sure it's positive, minus hate, judgment, or cruelty. You want to know what the true meaning of life is? It's what we interpret it as. It's different for all of us, but we need to keep our mindset and our feelings positive through the toughest of times...

Sometines, we aren't who we are supposed to be because of others...
Do you want to know what makes us different? It's not only the color of our skin. It's not only our race. It's not only our ethnicity or our culture. Can those influence us and possibly our thoughts or feelings of others? Most likely, but they shouldn't. Those arent reason to hate or judge someone. Our differences should be based on our minds and how we think. Our mind is what convinces us to act a certain way towards others. Whether it's self convincing or someone else convincing us. Let our experiences help guide us if anything, and that alone isn't definite because not all people who act or look similar think the same. Especially when it comes to acting with hate, greed, or selfishness. You are what you feel or think, and what you may be convinced of really affects how you feel because of your thinking. The one thing that we all have in common is that we are all UNIQUE. No two people are the same. Everyone's experiences vary as well as our interactions. So don't judge a culture, a race, or a group of people because of, let's say, someone's actions. Dont tie it into the culture or religion. Although it may be an influence on them, think outside the box. There are many who want to help change that negative behavior and that way of acting or thinking that a lot of us display. This is all over the country, all over the world really. It's an example we ALL need to set for each other and especially our younger generations. No one defines you. You do though. Let's help make a difference for the better. Acting like the bad, whether through revenge or frustration, makes you like those individuals spreading hatred. We are better than that. No matter who you are or where you're from. Maybe it's easier said than done, but we gotta try. Know that having fear puts us on the defense. Whoever you are fearing might be on the defense themselves because they fear for themselves. Understand we have nothing to fear but fear itself...

If we assume the worst, expect the worst, so it leads us to look forward to the worst
The biggest enemy our credibility has is perception brought upon the rumors or lies of others. We are made to believe what makes sense to us without validation because let's face it, we all want to believe the bad for whatever reason and are convinced of it because it is what wows us. A lot of us want to believe others have good intentions but, for some reason, misinterpret the positive actions to include negative intentions behind them. We are not all bad, and we all do not make decisions to intentionally hurt others. Yes, there are some that do and make it harder for us to trust ones intentions. Keep in mind that assumption takes a toll on what you are perceiving..

Be a leader, an example. Dont abuse or take advantage of your title......
When it comes to working, I understand we all have RESPONSIBILITIES in our jobs and the higher the position, the more responsibility falls on us. This DOES NOT include having some type of a power trip thinking it allows our position of authority or our position of power, as some would describe, to abuse it and treat people like they are any less than what or who we may think we are. A promotion in a job (by title or pay) or being hired in a position of power or leadership does not mean we are allowed to threaten or speak to anyone disrespectfully or use that title to get our way. We are all people and should be treated equally. I get it there are rules and laws and regulations to follow, but there no need to throw threats or abuse your position to get things done. Workers, employees, citizens, or not, who act irresponsibly means we have to call for some type of support but not act on frustration or hatred or abuse of the power we think we hold. It shouldn't even be considered positions of POWER. It should be considered positions of TRUST, but we all need to TRUST we will get dealt with for not following protocol or instructions. If anyone wants to claim POWER, then claim responsibility, ownership, and trustworthiness.
With any promotion, any opportunity to take a job, an opportunity that includes leadership, manging, business owner, authority figure, etc., show responsibility with it. Not abuse of it.
At the same time, everybody should follow those regulations, laws, and rules provided by our employers, leaders, and officials. Not one person is above any law. Not even the law makers themselves.

Truth, intent, and no need to judge
Don't wait for others to do something you are expecting them to do. You never know the hardships they may be going through, whether financially, healthwise, or maybe even mentally or emotionally. You reaching out to them might be the break or even the cure that they need. Do right by anyone, especially if they care for you or you for them. Those that do wrong, will have what's coming to them but it's not for us to decide. No one is owed anything for any good we do. It should come naturally, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Everyone deserves compassion. Even if they've been less than good people. This is why we need to forgive but not forget. Don't expect anyone else to be like you though. They are not and you are not like anyone else either. So before you get an idea about someone, think twice. I've learned that only GOD, or a higher power if you will, can judge us. We are a diverse world and even with all the diversity, there is only 1 truth, and your intentions play a big role on what that truth is.

The good in us...
You do everything in your power to lead by example, to show or prove that there is hope for those that may have lost that hope, to help otehrs realize there is good in this world and something to look forward to and prove theres ways to demonstrate the good to make things right for those you care about...and what happens? The positivity turns into a humungous disappointment because somehow there is a greater power caused by greed or selfishness and what u live for or instilled in yourself growing up before facing the real world turns out to be a fantasy. But that won't change me or discourage me. It just disappoints me. Prove to others there is good in this world by doing good yourself, paying it forward, and leading with compassion and understanding.
If you believe there are no good people in this world around you, then be one. Make a difference.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will give you enough strength and confidence to overcome many problems. No one says it will be easy. Everyone can say, "easier said than done." That's where WILL needs to take its course and give yourself that confidence and belief that you can and will pull through. No matter how bad the situation is, know you are still here. Just have to face your battles and make them right, especially if it was your mistake. Out of every situation, every problem, every challenge you are faced with, there is always a silver lining...and how you interpret or view the situation, can make it seem a lot worse than what it really is or you can allow yourself to make the effort and find a solution.

Stay commited
there will always be people trying to get in between you and ur spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend and it takes focus on both to make sure we are not unfaithful or noncommitted no matter what promises or convincing comments that are made by those trying to interfere. The only promise that should matter is the one made on your wedding day or between the two who agreed to be committed to one another.
-Hear something? Speak about it with your significant other before assuming the worst.
- Trust your significant other. That's one reason you married each other or committed to one another
- Trust but verify. Someone will try to convince you of something. You can trust it, but verify it. Don't get misled.

If you can relate...
I remember when I was younger, punishment or discipline was one thing that was expected from our parents to use as letting us know we were wrong and helping us learn our lesson if we did something unethical, disrespectful, or pretty much wrong. Obviously, overdoing the punishment is and was a problem, but it seems that now a days it's almost considered unethical to discipline our children for bad behavior anyway. Kids are in need of being held accountable but reporting their parents to authorities for disciplinary actions and punishment, maybe a bit overboard? I remember if I did something wrong, I wasn't going to expect a talking to because, as kids, we really don't or didn't listen until we were punished for it with discipline and learning our lesson. Parents are there to make sure we understand what the difference is from right and wrong. They come with either punishment or reward. Not all may agree on what's right or what's wrong and that is when the challenges come and causes most of us to doubt or second guess if what we are doing is wrong or right as a parent(s), but do not reward for bad and punish for good.
Can you teach a child by using fear tactics? I think so. I mean, I tried to stay away from acting out because I didn't want a spanking from my dad... WITH A BELT!!! So that worked. I wasn't mad. After the incident, realized I was being taught a lesson. But a lot of people may ask, "So what may be right for you isn't right for others, and what's wrong for you may not be wrong for others." When I would do wrong or behave badly, I never thought of the impact my behavior had on others, but I sure did know the impact my parents would have on me! As we get older, we start noticing our actions and words and how they impact others as well. The impact it had on others can and should let us know how bad it was based on their reaction or response and expose what you did or said and why it wasn't taken well. Our concious eventually steps in and translates what was wrong with what we said or did based on their reaction. Same as an adult doing something illegal and knowing there are police doing their job. Not parenting, but trying to help control the crime. We can only control our household as parents married with children.
Parents know this as they are adults who have been through most of what we were going through when we were kids and were trying to correct it or help us learn that making a bad decision once is considered a mistake but doing it more than once, becomes a choice. Maybe my culture or background taught me differently than other cultures teach their kids, so I'm speaking for the Hispanic, more so, Dominican culture out there. We really can't compare different generation's ways of correcting their kids' behavior. For me, as a gen X, I remember how much I didn't want to get in trouble with my parents or embarrass myself because of my bad behavior and eventually disrespect, hurt, or not consider others, besides the fear of the punishment that would come with it of course. With my kids, i did the best I could to avoid going that route.
At a young age, we need to know there are consequences to our actions as well as rewards. We need to raise our kids, now and in the future, knowing what the differences are. There is a difference between "discipline" and "hit." If your child tells others you 'hit them,' others can translate that as a form of abuse, but punishment and discipline is not to be confused with abuse. As I mentioned earlier, it does depend on the culture and heritage. The goal is to learn self-discipline that will keep them at ease with their behavior and response or reaction to others. It's our job as parents to instill that in our young ones without overreacting and being sure we are not acting out of anger or frustration as to why you are punishing them.

Not getting too comfortable is the key.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, the catch being with the same person. Marraige is never easy, just a challenge that can be overcome by not getting too comfortable.
