An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life. To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It's to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves... regardless of the economy.

Nature is an important element in our modern cities. In fact, nature shouldn't just be seen as a luxury represented in palm trees and flowers in shopping malls. Nature is actually a vital element in human urban life. Trees and bushes are pleasing to the eye and soothing for the spirit. Plants can provide habitats for birds and animals if we plant them between the streets and corners of our cities. Greeneries can also greatly ease air pollution and bring urban temperatures down. That is why we need natural elements to be integrated in our houses, work places and streets. Nature surely makes a place more alive and refreshing. So try as much as you can to have a small plant in the corner of your office or a vase of flowers in the middle if your kitchen table.

If you're not fulfilling your purpose in life, its really dampening the fire of your soul. (Actor- Gerard Butler)

This poem was nominated for best poem of 2005 written by an African child:

When i was born, i black
when i grow up, i black
when i go in sun, i black
when i scared, i black
when i sick, i black
& when i die, i still black

& you white fella….
when you born, you pink
when you grow up, you white
when you go in sun, you red,
when you cold, you blue
when you scared, you yellow
when you sick, you green
& when you die, you gray

& you calling me colored??
