"The Greatest Love of All" is a song written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed and originally recorded by George Benson for the 1977 Muhammad Ali biopic The Greatest. The song was later popularized by Whitney Houston. Creed wrote the lyrics in the midst of her struggle with breast cancer.

Creed eventually succumbed to the disease in April 1986 at the age of 36; at the time her song was an international hit by Whitney Houston. Many critics called the single the centerpiece of Houston's debut album.

The single spent 14 weeks at the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, which at the time was a record.

Looking For A Nice and Clean Working Place

This post brought to you by Contest Factory. All opinions are 100% mine.

Yesterday, January 25, was officially my third month in the company that i am currently working with. So far, everything is okay and I'm doing great but i just can't deny the fact that it is quite stressing to deal with irate customers and non-stop calls everyday. It's more like a regular routine for me now aside from trying to catch things up with my daily blogging adjustments. There is no such thing as easy job as what they say or if there is, then you might not be so proud of it because you didn't even exert any effort or hard work for it. Anyway, i think i just have to bear with all of these and i'm sure something nice will happen in the near future. I just wish we have a nice and pleasing working place in the company. Working in a call center industry is too much different from other office jobs because we do not have a stable shift and a stable location as well. We were assigned on a certain cubicle during our shift but that would not be permanently for us because another agents will use our station when our shift ends. It's pretty fine with me actually but it is quite irritating to see all the mess they leave in my station when it is my turn to work. I used to clean my station before i leave and i wish they bring the courtesy back to me right?

Having a nice working place or environment plays a big role for making someone to be more effective and productive on his work. It is more like creating a nice aura to motivate you despite of your very stressing work. Well, i do not consider it YET as the worst or the most pathetic but it isn't that ideal space to work in . I wish i could take a video of my working area and upload it online and have it as my entry for the Pimp My Cube Contest that aims to improve someone's office. Check this video below and make it as your reference if you want to join,

Pimp My Cube is searching for the worst, messy cubicle or office that may have bad furniture, old technology, messy, unorganized, noisy, dirty, dark and/or any other attributes. You just have to upload a video showcasing your messy office and then once you submitted the entry, you just have to gather votes from your friends and officemates.  The grand prize of your cube being ‘pimped’ will be selected by CF judges based on various criteria including for the most votes, best (really worst) video and most compelling story. The contest has a total grand prize value of approximately $1200.

Prize is to update your office/workspace/cube with one of three prize packages:

o New high end computer system
o New Desk, Chair and Decorations
o New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

 

A second sweepstakes prize of a $200 gift card will be awarded to the registered user chosen by random drawing at the end of the contest period. The contest period is from 12/5/11 at 12:00PM to 1/31/12 at 12:00PM. So you still have time to join and gather votes before January ends!

I'm Getting Old

Yikes! I'm just 23 but my body feels so old. My back, my knee and my feet start aching as if they are too tired and shaky. I'm not sure if it's because of my weight, my imbalanced diet or lack of exercise but i really get tired so easily. Does this mean that i am not getting any younger and what i am experiencing right now is some sort of arthritis? 0__0
Oh well, maybe i was just taking it exaggeratedly because i came across a certain article on a health magazine a few days ago talking about this certain kind of arthritis called "gout". Gout can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe and it my occurred repeatedly unless you undergo necessary gout treatment. Gout frequently occurs in combination with other medical problems that's why gout treatment is really necessary to prevent the condition from getting worst.
I grew up with my grandparents and i knew how hard it was to deal with arthritis. I think almost tried different kinds of ointment to ease the pain and because they're old, it would be risky for them to undergo any surgery or operation just to get rid of the pain permanently.
Prevention is better than cure as what they say and we have to keep that in mind. Be careful of what you eat and be cautious of what you do. Health should always be your top priority than anything else. Keep all your vises away if there's any because they will bring no good to your body and you might just regret it in the future. Have your condition be checked regularly by your family doctor to prevent anything worst.
Anyway, I am wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous year.
