There are times during anyone’s career when it’s preferable to stay quiet, and avoid confrontations or drama. And, there are other times when staying quiet may be the easy thing to do — but not the right thing.

You may be put in a situation that requires you to speak up for the good of the company, yourself, or another employee. Your job could be put in jeopardy by not speaking up. You could simply be doing yourself a disservice by not speaking your mind, and letting others know just how you feel. Here are 10 of those times. In these situations, speak up, and do it quickly.

Youth violence and crime affect a community’s economic health, as well as individuals’ physical and mental health and well-being. Homicide is the third leading cause of death for youth in our country. In 2012, more than 630,000 young people ages 10-24 were treated in emergency departments for injuries sustained from violence. 1

Each neighborhood and community has unique experiences with violence and different resources available to them. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to preventing youth violence. However, communities can help reduce youth violence by developing a city-wide strategy that combines prevention, intervention, treatment, and re-entry strategies. The National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention is working with communities to design these strategies.

@Tanikka Paulk You have some good points here.

I always say it is not how much we have but what we make of what we have is the route to happiness. Rather than mulling over that which leads us to negative thoughts looking for that which has made us happy could go a long way in making our life worth living.

Nice post, scholarly. I appreciate you pep.

i usually promote my articles url through social medias and I must admit that they do help to bring in external traffic to my sites.

For example stumbleupon, google plus and Linkedin are 3 great sites that had helped me a lot.

Instead Facbook, Twitter and TSU were the worst sites that had never helped me but I still use them.

Tanikka Paulk I wish many who think they are extroverts would get to read this. You are right. Introverts are successful too. We need people who listen and introverts do that.

Very nice post.Thanks for sharing it here.

In my experience, self-doubt is a far bigger dream killer than anyone else’s negativity. It is important to learn not to listen to the well-intentioned worries of friends and family, when it comes to taking on new projects and working towards the achievement of a dream goal. But unless you are in a pretty unhealthy relationship, not too many people are going to try to intentionally derail your dreams.

No matter how old you are, where you’re from or what you do for a living, we all share something in common—a desire to be successful. Each person’s definition of success is different, however, as some may define success as being a loving and faithful spouse or a caring and responsible parent, while most people would equate success with wealth, fame, and power.

We all want to achieve success so we could live a comfortable life—have financial freedom, drive a nice car, and live in a beautiful house. However, although success can be achieved, it does not come easy.

There are a lot of tips and strategies out there on how to be successful in life, but I am still a firm believer that there is no better way to succeed than to follow that footsteps of those who have already done so. Here are 13 success tips from some of the world’s most successful and renowned people:

This is a very insightful post! I don’t think we can state often enough that hate stems from fear of what is different or unknown. Until we put away our “us and them” mentality, there will always be strife. Shared across several social networks, so more people can read.

@Tanikka Paulk This reminds me of the ragging that used to be there in colleges. I was a victim too but a mild one. It is now banned.

yes it can. i am not sure why people feel the need to be mean to others.

Yes, we must encourage the youths to change the world talking bold steps in favor of country and nation otherwise the fate of people is very bad for the coming generation as I have seen with my physical. There are two laws working in every country: laws are different for the rich and laws are different for the poor this difference will take the country to to hell.

The youth hopes for a world free of poverty, unemployment, inequality and exploitation of man by man. They want a world free of discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, language and gender.

The countries where the youth are agile and pay their proper contributions towards their nation are more developed. The entire success of a nation depends on the youth. It is the duty of the government to provide the youth with ample opportunities to play their role in an effective manner.

Parents also have a major responsibility to fulfil. They must induce patriotic feelings in their young ones. The youth fraught with patriotism would lead the nation to the front. The youth have following role and responsibilities towards their nation.

I agree! Greed is the root of many problems and very directly related to money and being selfish at times.

Knowing the difference between need and want can solve many a problem

Greed knows no boundary… It will fail you eventually…

There are so numerous greedy people all over the world. By hook or by crook they do whatever good for them and bad for others. We even have greedy relatives wanting to own the inheritance from parents and do bad to own siblings just to satisfy their greediness.But sad to know those greedy people usually suffer deadly disease until time comes their money vanish on earth and so they as payment of their sins.

There’s plenty of information about greed and there’s scriptures that will tell us how awful greed is. People can lose their minds over greed. It causes rifts in families and causes pain within our society. We never know when it will make it’s way within our communities and within our homes. Greed can create chaos.

Greed is the reason for many horrible things. Greed is never good.
