Actor Paul Marcarelli – the Verizon Wireless “Can you hear me now?” guy – told “The Atlantic” magazine that the catchphrase plagues him so much that someone even said it to him at his grandmother’s funeral as her casket was being lowered into the cemetery plot.

With its beautiful beaches and cosmopolitan cities, Thailand is a great place to take a vacation. Travelers can also revel in the country’s beautiful architecture as well.
The country boasts a beautiful Buddhist temple called Wat Samphran, or Temple of the Rising Dragon. Located in Thailand’s Samphran district, the bright pink temple also features a 17-story dragon on its facade.
The temple is 80 meters high because that was how long Buddha lived. But don’t believe our description, see for yourself!
The top of the temple allows for this marvelous view of the area.
It’s possible to get a romantic, larger-than-life view.
Close-up details are also stunning.
There’s some seriously beautiful foliage surrounding the temple. Perfect for a quiet day’s outing.
Evening views are also delightful!
The dragon of Wat Samphran is an architectural feat!
This complex is also a part of the temple.
Wat Samphran’s dragon gives off some seriously fierce vibes!
This is more of what you can expect at the bottom of the temple as well.
The temple is located just outside of Bangkok, and the trip seems well worth it.
This video also shows how you can visit the top of the temple if you’re able to visit.
The temple’s stairs are now deteriorating, but the structure remains beautiful.
Would you ever travel to Thailand to see the temple?
Let us know what you think of this amazing architectural masterpiece in the comments!

There’s a lot of stigma around mental health issues, but this is slowly changing. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) says that in 2018, approximately 19.1% of people in the United States experienced mental illness.
Obviously it’s important to be sensitive about mental health issues in the country, but one Twitter user spoke out about the lack of apologies over mental health blowups that sometimes occur as a result of certain conditions.
Hey mental health twitter, I'm about to really piss you off: If you have a mental health episode, you still owe the people you exploded on an apology. You still did it! It's not their job to roll over and let you treat them however you want
— Quill (@LutroDraws) January 23, 2020
The tweet went viral and several people spoke out for and against this opinion.
Some people were for this type of accountability.
Let me reword this, because the message is important.
Mental health episodes have a heavy impact on your loved ones mental health as well. Although the condition is not your fault and you are NOT a burden, do your best to hold yourself accountable
— Youtube: Nu Mindframe
(@nu_mindframe) January 24, 2020
Some people agreed but had some reservations.
What are some ways to do this without sounding like you're victimizing yourself? I struggle with saying things like "I'm sorry I did [insert thing here] to you. I was going through [insert thing here]" because I feel like I'm making excuses/playing the victim.
— carole lynn (@palatiny) January 23, 2020
A professional chimed in with their opinion.
Dude I am a mental health professional: & no one can convince me that no matter YOUR bad days, you don’t owe an apology if YOU blow up, medicated or not. Your support system isn’t to blame
— jess (@_jessalilmore) January 24, 2020
One Twitter user explained why she apologizes when she can.
And if I may add: The reason you don't get a free pass is because who knows if the person on the receiving end has related trauma or their own mental illness. Who knows who you could trigger or hurt with outbursts. You can't decide that your episode takes precedence.
— Ros Hollow
(@SudoIntellect) January 23, 2020
And someone else chimed in with why they choose to apologize, but they also preface with the fact that no one is owed anything.
I don’t owe anyone anything, let’s get that across. But if I actually care about you, I will hold myself accountable for my actions.
— Aaron (@aaronokeke) January 25, 2020
One person tweeted about her experiences on both sides of this conundrum.
I have been on both sides of this. I've had friends hurt me, and when I point it out, they acknowledge that they did it and then tell me that they don't need to apologise because it's their illness's fault. I don't think not recognising the behaviour is the problem the OP means.
— Phoebe
(@saaranghaeyo) January 25, 2020
One Twitter user mentioned that some of these mental health breakdowns are also survival mechanisms that don’t warrant an apology.
I feel like this is a lukewarm take as someone who recently came out of a major depressive episode. I'm not apologizing for shit I did when I was just struggling to SURVIVE. Not unless it was something particularly horrid. The flipside of your take ppl who experience(1)
— It's #MissingYOI Hours #BornToShipViktuuri (@UOTrackFangirl) January 23, 2020
Another Twitter user brought up a valid point: some abusers deal with mental health issues as well.
Abusers often have mental health issues, yet most off us don't excuse their actions, so why are some of these comments still defending people being assholes and using mental illness as an excuse not to apologize?
— Bitter Salad (@faonthenekkid) January 24, 2020
Another Twitter user mentions that it’s important to improve communication about mental health issues in general.
That involves those supporting others with their mental health being able to say:
You have hurt me.
I am exhausted.
Your mental health is impacting my mental health.
I need to step away.
I am not abandoning you, but I need to look after myself.— Valaquesse – has himbo sauce (@Valaquesse) January 24, 2020
There were many other tweets, but this one tried to put things into context:
I heard a quote that put it in a more objective way without being offensive:
"Your mental illness isn't your fault, but it is your responsibility."
— Tristan "Wolf" Barber
It’s clear that any and all discussions around mental health aren’t easy. As some people mentioned, some mental health blowups are simply coping mechanisms, and they’re difficult to predict. It’s hard to pin down etiquette when discussing issues that have different consequences for everyone involved, but at least this Twitter thread began a necessary dialog.
What’s your take on the topic? There are no easy answers, but all points of view are welcome in the comments section. Perhaps your opinion or experience may help a reader that’s been seeking answers.
Drop your thoughts and let’s get to talking!
The post People Discuss How and When to Apologize for a Mental Health Episode appeared first on UberFacts.
Ube has made our lives easier in innumerable ways. For patrons and for drivers alike, being able to connect one-on-one to someone when you need a ride, or to pick someone up when you could use some cash, has been a life-changing opportunity.
There are downsides like safety concerns, of course, but for the most part, people love it and it sure seems as if the practice is here to stay.
If you’re someone who uses Uber regularly, though, you might want to be aware how certain actions – like canceling your ride – can affect the driver half of the occasion. At first, the $5 fee you might be charged for canceling might not seem like enough to deter you (or maybe it does), but Uber’s existing policies aren’t so great for drivers who are canceled on last minute.
Uber drivers aren’t making that much to begin with, and it turns out only $3.75 of that cancellation fee actually goes to your driver. Worse, if you dispute the cancellation fee, you’ll receive an alert stating that the driver might lose out on money if you continue with the dispute – even if the reason you’re canceling has to do with an issue with the app, say, and not because you don’t need a ride or the driver was late.
At least one driver on Reddit shared that cancellation fees can be – and have been – withheld without any disclosed reason.
“I have had three instances now where I waited over five minutes before canceling, took screenshots to prove I waited the full time, canceled the ride, and then never received the fee.
This is completely different from the consumer’s side, where if a passenger simply says ‘My driver was under the influence of alcohol with no evidence, the passenger gets a refund, that driver can lose the pay from that ride, have their account immediately suspended for a minimum of three days, and possibly even permanently deactivated.”
First of all, I can’t believe there are sh*t people out there who are so intent on getting something for nothing that they would ruin another person’s livelihood to save a couple of bucks.
Second of all, I can definitely believe that a corporation like Uber would come down on the side of the consumer…or actually, on whatever side is going to benefit them the most financially.
So the next time you have an issue, think of your driver before you cancel or request that refund – though if it’s truly the driver’s fault, go ahead and protect your own assets, of course.
Just do your best to exercise common sense first.

Technology seems to change daily. I swear the “next’ iPhone is out weeks after the last one released! Tech consumers are hungry for more, but have you ever wondered why some items never seem to advance? Like solar power? Sure there are some ways it’s available, but at a high cost!
u/worldtraveler100 proposed to AskReddit, “What technology are you shocked has not advanced yet?” and the comments are incredible and a little out there.
That we can’t put enamel back on teeth.
Waste disposal.
We still bury most of it in the ground.
Bras.
You’d think that we wouldn’t still be wearing the metal death traps of our grandmothers suffering, but nope. You see ’the new bra’ every few years but it never catches on.
My back hurts.
In my country its the Internet
Elevators.
Why can we not unpress a button that has been clicked?
Printers. Don’t even get me started on the ones at my lab.
Paper in the load tray are perfectly fine? Time for the printer to crumple a tiny edge and then scream “PAPER JAM” and halting everything else until you take that one piece of paper out. It’s all good though, that’ll buy you about 5 minutes before it repeats itself.
Someone forgot to load paper before starting the day and the printer happens to run out? Surprise, the printer has just locked down all tests on the machine and requires that paper be loaded AND THEN the machine itself needs to be rebooted and reloaded for an extra 20 minutes before proceeding.
This one printer is going to be the sole reason for me having an aneurism one of these days.
Frost the whole f**king pop tart already.
Microwave doors.
There is no such thing as a quiet microwave door yet we can know what chemicals are in space thousands of light years away
Allergy control.
How are there no permanent cures for allergies yet? I’ll never know how awesome it must be to own a german shepherd, and so many people wont ever know how good peanut butter is
Around twenty years ago, I was promised a cloned woolly mammoth. Then, I read about a plan to reverse engineer elephants back into mammoths. Look, I don’t need to know the ins-and-outs, just make the damn mammoth!
I’m still shocked that with all our medical research we haven’t found any cure or reliable treatment for baldness.
The entire DMV process.
CCTV footage still looking like it was recorded by a potato.
Passwords.
Especially entering them with an onscreen alphabet selector like its a 1986 Nintendo game. There are so many better ways to secure things than this and all the hassles that go with forgetting them, resetting them etc.
I want my flying car I was promised.
Curing acne
Nuclear fusion.
Funding for the single thing that will eventually solve all the energy needs on the planet is practically non-existent, and they’re still making progress.
Why? Because the uneducated masses hear ‘nuclear’ and are unable to think of anything other than Chernobyl.
Batteries.
It’s probably one of the most important technologies today, yet batteries haven’t substantially changed since their invention.
And yes, I know, there are graphene batteries in development, but they’re far from being ready
Laundry.
Sure, laundry machines can make clothes a lot cleaner than they used to. But a real breakthrough would be to have laundry completely automatic without the washer/dryer turnover and having your clothes folded for you.
A better and safer birth control.
Also, male birth control.
Toilet paper – I’m shocked it has not advanced to the three sea shell system yet.
But really there hasn’t been any advancement besides adding plys or softness, I’m shocked we have discovered a better way.
Or take more advantage of the bidet.
Technology to localize missing planes.
We can stream Netflix during a flight but when the plane crashes we can’t reach the black box unless we fish it out from the ocean
Giving birth.
Surely with all today’s science and research, why in the world do we still have to suffer through painful hours of giving birth to a baby when it could be done without suffering, quick and easy without sweat and tears.
Concert tickets.
Blows my mind that in 2020 there is no better way to get tickets into the hands of actual fans without the overwhelming majority going to resellers.
Voting Systems
While some of these are odd, most of these are great thoughts on advancement.
What do you think? Should these items go to the top of the list?
Weigh in below!

You’ve heard this problem before: “If you were stranded on an island and could bring one thing with you, what would it be?” It’s a question meant to spark your personality traits, behaviors and more.
Reddit user u/Colonal-Sanders took this question and surpassed it. They asked, “You have 20 minutes left to live. What do you do?” Yikes! What would you do? Here are the best answers from the community.
Call-in to work, I guess…
Talk to my family and friends. Say thanks. Say that they shouldn’t grief too much.
And fucking erase the porn from my hard drive, of course.
et my dog out, leave a message on Facebook, Call my Mom, leave a note, heat up some ramen noodles and watch the end of Return of the King
Probably get diarrhea and sweat a bunch
hug my cat
Get in my car and drive to my local hospital. Take the remaining 5 mins to call my wife and tell her I love her. Then explain to her why I wasted 15 mins driving to the hospital when I’m dying.
I explain that I don’t want to taint the house we worked so hard to own. If I died in it and she had to find my body in it then it would ruin it for her and possibly impact re-sale value.
Also if I die at the hospital they can just take care of the body there and no kid or whatever has to find me in a park etc.
Record video messages for my children, husband and close family. I’d let my children know I’m proud of them and I love them and to always try and do their best in life and be kind and loving to others.
Call my closest friend and ex for one last conversation, she’s a great friend. I would rather not leave her wondering why I ghosted her.
Roll a blunt and write a leaving notice, I mean if I can’t live any longer I just chill and accept it
Record a goodbye video for my friends and family.
I figure thats the best way to get to say everything I want to say to everyone instead of panic calling and potentially missing someone. I will also use the video to stipulate the terms of my funeral, which shall go like this:
There will be an epic scavenger hunt leading to the location of my funeral. The first to arrive get to call dibs on something from my estate, so find it fast for the best stuff, like my 158 sweater collection or my Nazi German shepherd puppet from the TV show Danger 5. Once everyone is there, the celebration kicks off because my funeral is going to be a party with lots of booze, good food, and live music.
I’d wait 20 minutes
I’d tell the most important people in my life truly what they mean to me. I’d think of my grandparents and look back fondly on my memories and then I’d hold my dog and just pet him until the end came.
Speak my mind, for once in my life.
I would tell my crush how much I like him, eat hashbrowns, talk with my mother (in that order)
beat the universe: let me explain. if I am guaranteed to die in 20 minutes (not less) then I will be invincible for 20 minutes.
Probably 20 minutes of existential crisis.
Finish cleaning up the apartment and not be on Reddit. Wife would bring me back from dead to kill me again.
Write a letter: “You find my hidden money in-” and die.
Make an epic race with my hot wheels collection
I accept my fate and start playing heavy metal.
Drink
Install all those windows updates I’ve been postponing.
Get laid. Die mid orgasm.
Max out all my cards, and give that money to family or charity
Get up and leave the house. Don’t want one of my loved ones to find me.
Get on my bike and ride to the hospital (I live 15 minutes and traffic won’t be a concern). If they revive me, I’ve technically died, but I live on.
Stand in the middle of the room I’m in at work. Loudly claim that I’ve become a target for assassination by *insert government/corporation here* and that I could die at any second.
Keep their attention until I eventually drop down dead in front of them all.
Have a nap.
Have sex I guess. Actually I’d probably call my parents. But not both. Probably.
Eat my left toe. I always wondered what that sucker tasted like.
Depends on circumstances. If it’s a zombie apocalypse I’m going down swinging.
It’s safe to say, most people would call their loved ones, while others will play, dance, or nap. There are no wrong answers when faced with this decision.
For me? I’m not sure what I could get done in 20 minutes! I suppose I’d call my loved ones too…and nap.

I’m willing to bet that almost every single woman on Earth has had to deal with a creepy guy invading her space and saying gross and inappropriate things to her at one point or another.
On behalf of all the decent fellas out there, I apologize for these total creeps.
The ladies of AskReddit opened up about the creepiest things that men have ever said to them in public.
Gross!
“I was 11 in a street market in Italy.
A vendor came up and started trying to convince me to marry his son. My dad ran up and was like dude she’s 11.
The guy said “My son’s only 26. It’s perfect!””
“You don’t look 13, I want your number.”
“I was in Paris at a Christmas market and a guy came up to me and told me I was very beautiful. Before I could say anything back, he said, “You know, I’ve been following you for awhile and saw your friends walk away from you. I could kidnap you so quick, they would never see you again.”
Then he laughs, and my friend, who was only like eight feet away and heard this exchange, pulls my arm and we start fast-walking away. We cut down so many alleys, popped in and out of shops, and got on different trains since it was nearly impossible to know if he was still following us.”
“This was a guy who had found my Facebook in about half a second (I have no idea how, people I want to give it to can’t find it without my help): “so uh how does sex work for you? Does it hurt you? How do you do it?”
He’d found out I was disabled and decided this was an excellent and appropriate conversation piece.”
“I was wearing my horse back riding clothes.
He held the door for me and said “You can ride me!” when I kept walking into the store ignoring him he screamed after me “Hey Bitch! I SAID YOU COULD RIDE ME”.
This is why we can’t have nice things people.”
“I was in Walmart and some creepy guy came up to me and my sister and pointed at his junk in sweatpants (clearly not wearing underwear) and asked if we wanted to touch it.
Now I refuse to go to Walmart.”
“I worked at a truck stop and needed a driver to sign something, but didn’t have a pen. He was a super gross old fat guy, missing quite a bit of teeth. He said that I could borrow his pen, but then I’d have to get in his truck with him.
He was going to lock the doors and I wasn’t allowed to get out. I recoiled in horror as he gave me the most disturbing smile. The thought of raping me and telling me about the fantasy truly made his day.”
“Man in a club came up to me and said, “just thought I should let you know that you have great birthing hips.””
“”You have all your teeth. I like that.”
I was waiting for the bus.”
“I was 14, out shopping at an Aeropostale when these two dudes approached me. They had to be in their mid to late twenties. They followed me around the store and kept asking me to try on the mini skirt I had picked out, asked me where I lived, my name, and just generally kept following and harassing me.
I was super freaked out, hoping that my mom and brother would come back to the store soon to get me out of there.”
“Oh no, when I was 13, a guy grabbed me by by the wrist and he said “Hey sexy, wanna come with me so I can show you something? I love bad girls like you.”
I was so stupid that I was still worried about being rude and apologized to him for saying no but when he tried to fully grab my arm I just ran.”
“Not so much what was said at first, but the insistence (and continuing to walk with me on my route for like 20 minutes) that I must save his email address.
Words alone are creepy on occasion, but it’s the absolute worst when there’s an element of being trapped.”
“I was in 6th grade and had three boys discuss my breasts in front of me like I wasn’t there. The first boy said I stuffed my bra, the second one came up and explained to him how he could know that I didn’t. The third joined in in the explanation of real vs fake like they were looking at a painting on a wall while I sat there flabbergasted at being noticed in that way.
I was 17 and cleaning a window at work(on one knee). Guy, in front of his ~8 yo son- “you like being on your knees?”
It happens a lot more the younger women are, creepy guys know that the older we are the less likely we are to stand for that shit. So if you’re young- who gives a shit about being polite? Give them a curled lip, raised eyebrow and a well placed “ew” and watch their faces fall.”
“Once I was threatened with physical violence because I didn’t smile when a guy told me to and didn’t go out of my way to be nice to him when he sat down next to me.
I was also called jailbait by a few customers when I was 15 working at a local sub shop, which my manager and coworkers thought was hilarious.
So many more anecdotes could come to mind if I sat longer and thought about it but those stick out.”
“A homeless guy once told me he wanted to throw me in a bathtub full of Jell-O and make love to me.”
““Merry Christmas, baby” while grabbing my ass in Times Square.
It was the summer.”
““You’re gonna get a spanking” in a sing song tone. I was working at a mom and pop burger joint and made a silly mistake.
I was 19 at the time, the dude in question was 60/70.
When I got embarrassed he acted proud of himself and stated “look how red she’s turning!””
“I had rainbow colored hair as a teenager.
One time at work a 60+ year old customer said to me, “Does the carpet match the drapes? Never mind, you probably don’t have any down there.”
I’ve never been so uncomfortable.”
Way to go, guys! You’re basically creeping out every woman on the planet!
Ladies, now it’s your turn to answer this question in the comments!
Let us know! We’d love to hear from you!
The post Women Share the Creepiest Things That Men Have Said to Them appeared first on UberFacts.
America’s workforce is changing fast and the skills that many workers had 50, 20, or maybe even 10 years ago just don’t translate to today’s automated and highly technological workplace.
What will the future hold? What skills should younger people be focusing on?
AskReddit users talked about what they think the most-needed skills are for the next generation of workers in America.
“When I was in high school waaaay back in the late 70s my curmudgeonly history teacher tried to beat it into our heads that learning a foreign language and management skills would be needed in our future, as most US production jobs were disappearing and the best jobs would be in managing foreign workers, at home or abroad.
He was right, at least in this case. I see no change in that prediction.”
“Being adaptable.
Things move and change so fast nowadays and being able to keep up and adapt is a very crucial skill.”
“The skill of learning new skills is super important. At least it’s something machine learning isn’t too good at (yet).”
“Everyone is talking programing, I feel the most needed set of skills are going to be related to piping, laying datalines and fixing infrastructure.”
“Trade skills. There is already a massive shortage of competent people willing to do manual labor jobs like welding, painting, mechanics, construction, etc.
If you are even vaguely competent and willing to do manual labor, you can get a $20/hr job with benefits instantly nearly anywhere in the United States.
Source: my actual life, covered in work but have no workers.”
“The ability to recognize that just because that’s “how we’ve always done it” doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be changed.
You should always be changing and improving.”
“Communication.
Work gets done so much faster when you communicate properly with others.”
“I really hate saying this, because it makes me sound like some angry old man, but based on my experience as a 20-something:
Professional personality, but not annoyingly-so. Employers don’t like stuck-up workers who ONLY care about work, they want someone who will speak out against bullshit and keep rationality in mind, but they also want someone who remains professional throughout.
Physical strength. Tell me why LiftBot 3000 shouldn’t replace you, go.
Research skills. You have the internet at your fingertips, use it. Don’t just go to college and pretend to be an expert in everything, learn.”
“Do all you can to build your interpersonal skills.
Being able to communicate well and having self confidence will help in almost every situation.”
“According to Andrew Yang, skill sets will be redundant in a few decades.
He needs to be secretary of something related to industry treasury or economics; he is the only candidate I’ve seen who has a grasp on how AI and automation will effect society.”
“As someone who works at an IT help desk, I can say it is the ability to read, and listen.
Almost every job (at least in the US) requires that you use a computer. The people who have the most trouble are the ones who don’t read the notifications or listen to the experts.”
“Engineering. They’re needed literally everywhere for everything and there aren’t enough of them.
Also doctors and nurses.”
“Automation engineering and supporting fields. Automation is going to happen, get ahead of the curve, or get rolled over it. That includes robotics engineering, programming of the systems used to automate, or maintenance of the systems set up.
Any of the Medical fields, with the caveat that the working conditions are really abysmal right now. I suspect there will be some pretty big changes to the medical field simply because the current situation is no longer viable, but what those changes are is pretty up in the air.
Any career option in the financial industry should remain perfectly viable. Same with real estate.
Any of the R&D fields should be… well… as viable as they always have been. Don’t expect to get rich doing it, but you’ll have good steady pay if you can find a company to work for instead of wildcatting.
Data management. This is only going to continue to explode, and for obvious reasons.
Tradeskill jobs. Electrician, plumber, HVAC… people will still have these utilities and will still need them to be maintained by professionals.
Careers to avoid:
Almost any minimum-wage job including but not limited to:
Running a register. They’re already getting replaced with ‘self serve’ kiosks, expect this trend to continue
Stocking shelves. As Amazon has already shown, this can be more heavily automated. Expect to see these jobs fully automated in the next decade or two
Any customer-facing minimum wage position not already covered by the previous two. About the only customer-facing jobs that will be left are either going to be straight commission based sales like car sales or high-end boutiques who use actual people in their stores as a selling point and whose products are profitable enough to afford the higher overhead.
Jobs in the Coal or Oil industry. These resources are rapidly becoming obsolete, and thus so will the jobs associated with them.
Manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing is going to become completely automated, there won’t be any lines to work on anymore going forward.
In short, there will be almost no need for unskilled labor anywhere in the US within a generation, as it will all be fully automated. However, people will still get sick, things will still break down and need to be repaired, home utilities will still need maintenance, therefore anything which supports human life support is going to still be needed. Being able to support the automation will be a good gig if you can get it, but keep in mind that there will be fewer positions available, so you’re going to have to hustle.
I expect the first employee-free McDonald’s to open within the decade, whose only staff is a janitor, an engineer to fix things, and a couple of managers. And even then, I’m betting if they can replace the janitor with some degree of automation, or just tell the manager to clean up after himself, they’ll probably do that instead.
Most fast food chains will follow suit. Wal-Mart won’t be far behind, deploying the same tech that Amazon uses to fully automate warehouses to automate stocking of shelves and such. It’ll take longer, due to the need for additional infrastructure, but within say twenty years, the first employee-free Wal-Mart will be deployed. Don’t depend on these types of jobs to get you through college, they won’t be available.”
“I’m not from America but professional skills are the same all over the world. You didn’t say which skills (soft or technical). From my experience so far, what I think that will be some mandatory/must-haves are:
Technical jobs will never dissappear (programming or anything else related), they will just shift towards new trends.
Softskills, what we had since the begining of time, those will still be there. It depends on what you personally expect to achieve in your career. Self management skills are always a good addition to anyone.
A shift that I have seen for a couple of years, it seems the ability to work as independently as possible (in a team or solo) as in to not rely on anyone, because you will most likely have all the resources available.
Jobs that are present today in most companies that require data manipulation or calculus to be done manually, those will be the first to dissapear in the next 20-something years due to automation (RPA or whatnot). The market seems to shift in that direction so I would not reccomend anyone to pursue a career in this direction (it’s up to you).
Outsourcing is becoming a big thing, at least in Europe so I guess the same thing is happening or will happen in US as well. To be fair, it doesn’t make too much of a difference if you are being outsourced to a different company. Work is still work.”
“I’m in an MBA program and one of my professors said that being bilingual is the most attractive thing on an undergrad resume.”
This is definitely an interesting subject to think about and debate, that’s for sure.
What do you think?
What do younger Americans need to focus on to make their future as bright as possible?

Have you ever heard something that you remembered for the rest of your life? Or maybe you read a quote in a book that always stuck in your mind?
I know I definitely have a few of those floating around in my head.
People on AskReddit shared the quotes that are near and dear to their hearts.
“My dad always told me “If you don’t do it right the first time, someone else is going to have to do it.” Mainly implied to me cleaning around the house as a teenager. I think about it at my jobs a lot now in my mid twenties.”
“My dad used to say “if you don’t have the balls to say it twice, don’t say it once”.”
“Now that I know better, I do better.”
“Hire good people and get out of their way.”
“It’s never too late to be who you might have been” ~ George Elliot.
“If you wait until you’re ready, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life.”
