As the cliché goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure; but to share something you love with strangers around the world takes a whole new level of courage, altruism, and passion. Recently on Tumblr, I came across a project called Spread the Words Project started by April, an 18-year-old girl. Motivated by her love…
This was and still is the message from the Calgary Human Society. Just reminding everyone, it’s still summer. PLEASE don’t leave your dog in your car. It can get extremly hot in the vehicle EVEN with the windows open. We had seen some cases which babies have been left in the car and killed. If you…
If I say that a 16-year-old boy has a job, most of us automatically picture him working as a waiter or standing on the floor at a retail store. But how many of you thought of an entrepreneur?

In general, most people often like to fantasize. We like to imagine worlds where toil and poverty doesn’t exist, where diseases, eradication and wars are a thing of the past; worlds where we are the controllers of our lives, without the presence of any over-bearing individuals pushing us around. That’s one of the main reasons…
Most of us are guilty of playing this supposedly harmless game with our friends; I like to call the game “Rate.” It’s simply when you go through the people you know and rate their looks on a scale from 1-10. I don’t know why people find this entertaining, but we do. It’s interesting to see…
