Tina's Typical Tuesdays

The Asian Hate in America + Awareness Good afternoon readers! I am back after a long hiatus, but I hope to start updating again. Anyhow, happy belated President's Day! Here's the Quote of the Week: "If you cannot be a poet, be the poem." - David Carradine (This quote is one of my favourites! Leave what you think it means in the comments :)) W hen the COVID-19 pandemic first arose during March 2020, several caucasian Americans began to dub the coronavirus as the "China Virus" or the "Wuhan Virus," including then president Donald Trump. This evidently discriminating moniker began to spread throughout America and made it to the ears of white supremacists and anti-Asian racists alike. They blamed Asians (specifically Asian-Americans whose ethnicity were Chinese) for the initiation of the global pandemic and its effects on the US. Many other politicians and significant government officials had also spoken about Asians and people of Asian descent in a co...

                                                                                                 Affirmations Good afternoon reader! I sincerely apologise for having not posted in nearly one month, mostly due in part to further schoolwork and an increasingly busy schedule, but I am hoping to get back on track soon. Please enjoy this week's post, and here's the Quote of the Week: "Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt We have all been told before to believe in ourselves, despite whatever misfortunes that may plague us. But what we have not often been told is  how  to begin on that journey of knowing your self worth and what you can do. One of the most helpful methods ...

Hi readers! I am so sorry for not posting this week, but I have been extremely busy with my schoolwork, extracurriculars, and more. Hence, this is a break notice of absence. I will be back next Tuesday though, so stay tuned! Thank you for understanding!  - Tina P. P.S,  Happy start of October!

COVID 19 Pandemic - Everything Has A Purpose Hello reader! I hope you are all doing well with your online schools and work! Here's your Quote of the Week: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." - George Eliot Over the course of eight, long months, the novel coronavirus has rapidly taken control of the world. As a young tween watching these horrific events unfold, I hated the COVID19 pandemic so very much. It restricted me from seeing the people I loved and nearly drove me mad with the thought of having to keep 6 feet away, always wear a mask, and having to stare at a never ending screen for the rest of my life. In sum, it felt like a big, fat punishment.  But last night, as I lie in my comfy bed trying to drift my self to sleep, I reflected on everything that occurred during quarantine. For starters, so many of my idols passed away, leaving me feeling empty and wondering what the future will be like without them. But then I realized how many things probabl...

Home Field Advantage Happy Tuesday reader! I apologize for not being able to write last week's post as I was quite occupied with school-related business, but I am so glad that Tina's Typical Tuesdays is back on track now and I can continue with my weekly posts! Here's this week's Quote of the Week: "You do not find the happy life. You make it." - Camilla Eyring Kimball Have you ever heard of Home Field Advantage? If not, HFA is the term coined to describe the benefit that teams, mainly sports teams, have when they play a game on their home field. This advantage could be for many reasons, some of which may be that they feel more confident because, to them, their home field represents winning and success, or perhaps they don't have to suffer from jet lag or tiredness due to traveling. But how does this translate to positivity during this COVID-19 pandemic? Well, HFA could also be described as the benefit we , teachers, students, parents, and more, have whils...

Hello my dear readers! This message is a brief notice of absence as I was not able to find time to create a new post this past week. This is due to the start of online school, as I have been quite busy preparing a new schedule and taking care of many matters related to my beginning 7th grade online. I hope you all can understand that this past week has been particularly tumultuous for me, and that, as much as I would have loved to have written you all a new post to read, I could not. I was, however, able to prepare a Quote of The Week so that you, my readers, can have a little something to get you through the rest of the week! Here it is: "Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!'" - Audrey Hepburn Again, thank you all so much for understanding, and I cannot wait to write for you again next Tuesday!  - Tina P.

                Positive Thinking How Could it Potentially Help Your Business?   Hello reader! Welcome back to Tina's Typical Tuesdays! I hope you've enjoyed my last blog post, "Get to Know the Writer: About Me", but today, I will finally be starting my legitimate blog posts! As promised, here is the weekly "Quote of the Week": "Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Bill Gates, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo  da  Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." - Unknown W hen I think about positive thinking, I normally tend to believe that it will have just an overall better effect on my life because I feel happier and more stress-free. However, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps positive thinking could possibly even improve your business? This is because of multiple reasons, one of them being that positive thinking has been proven to aid ...
