What Mutant Powers Do Singaporeans Wish to Have?

 

Many Singaporeans are looking forward to the screening of X-men: Apocalypse. According to the some reports, the new franchise will be screened here on May 19, 2016. X-men: Apocalypse is a superhero movie based on the characters from X-Men of Marvel Comics. X-men: Apocalypse is the sequel of X-Men: First Class and X-men: Days of Future Past.

The story is about a powerful mutant wreaking havoc to build a better world. The mutant’s name is En Sabah Nur. He recruited four followers and now Charles Xavier together with Raven gather a group of young mutants to help save the world. These mutants have superpowers. If these superpowers are used wrongly, the world will be in ruins.

Superpowers are fictional and the chances of someone having it is absolutely zero. However, there will come a time that you think what if you are given a chance to choose what mutant powers to pick? What would you choose? Here are famous mutant powers from your favorite X-men series:

• Telekinetic power: Now this superpower is ideal. Before your boss asks for something, you already have an idea what it is and you start doing it. You read the mind and nothing beats it. Do not forget to be responsible enough and not steal other people’s ideas.
• Shape shifting: If there are times that you just wish you are somebody else, you will surely love the shape shifting power. This power will transform you to any person you want to be. Do not transform into your friends though and do crazy things wearing their faces – that is not being responsible.

• Teleporting: Teleporting is an idea that took the interest of many scientists. If you have this ability or power, you have unlimited access to time and space. Teleporting is good for people who are on the go. It can also save precious time and money.
• Manipulating magnetic fields: All metals at your command? That would be cool but you have to be responsible. Metals are everywhere so you can literally manipulate anything.
• Controlling weather: It is always hot there. If you have this power, you can just change the weather as you please. You can even make it snow. You can finally experience the feel of winter and spring.
• Flying: Perhaps most people here want the power of flying if it makes things easier and faster. You do not need to face traffic because flying can take you anywhere. Now that is environment friendly and cheap.

If only superpowers are true. Knowing that it is not, you need to focus on your inner superpower to help the weak and powerless. You do not need superpowers for this.

Convincing Singaporeans to Choose Entrepreneurship

 

Here in Singapore, life is hard without a living. Some are enjoying their living while others are struggling to meet both ends. Here, the classic formula is to study hard, do well in school, graduate then eventually find a good job and work your way from there. If you continue just like that, there will come a day that you will boss the people around.

However, many modern people think that making a living is more than a profession like being doctor, lawyer, banker or civil servant. Making a living also means being an entrepreneur. In fact, the government is convincing people to consider entrepreneurship. It is not easy being an entrepreneur here but one can make it do. For those who are not that convinced yet, here are some points that you can consider to choose entrepreneurship more than any profession in the world:

• Altering of mentality: The society is conservative but with the coming of technology and innovation, it is time to change mentality. It is undeniable that the brightest students in the society are anxious of getting into a profession seen by the society as “suitable” for them. If they wander off the beaten track, people will think that it is a waste. If this mindset will not change, students will take conservative jobs.

 

• Diversity at school: Diversity is important in every society. Even in school, when students are empowered of the range of possibilities for their future, they will think of broader things like being an entrepreneur.

• Reduce intense culture at work: Maybe you haven’t heard of the news but in average, we work longer than any other people in the world. This intense culture at work merely deters your potential to be good at something else. Some businesses started as a side gig. It is not an “all or nothing” risk unlike what other people are led to believe. You can start slowly and surely then devote all your energy to it.

 

• Unemployment benefits: The government should think of something to entice more entrepreneurs. Why not start with unemployment benefits for entrepreneurs? While some are building their own network and empire, the government is backing them with financial support. This is enough to motivate and give chance for individuals to excel in business.

If that is not that convincing, at least think about it for some time and realize the difference. It is not yet too late to consider entrepreneurship. The journey is not a guarantee success but the important thing is you learn at the end of the day and cope up.

Think Before You Click

It is still the beginning of 2014 but there have been two reports of persons posting insensitive and offensive remarks on social networking sites. The first case was an individual who assumes the name of “iamclarena” who posted racist comments on Twitter.
