It’s obvious that, sometimes the high rated percentages of happiness is brought to us by doing our own ways, that’s why we always need to breathe and figure out on how we can build a better version of our own selves. A lot of things in life have got so many sadness bonded in, more than happiness. That’s why it’s very easy to fake a smile but it’s comparatively hard to fake sorrow in reality, because everyone needs and deserves to be happy. Sometimes we may feel less, like we need someone or something to cover up what we have been passing through or the things we encounter here and there, but trust me … None of them things matters. We only need to be open in the eyes again and again every day when we see something is not right, because we are not the first ones to face challenges and we are not special, means anything can happen to us in any time and it can hurt us sometimes or make us happy. This is more often, depends on the personality and the attitude. Trust me you need no one to make things happen, I mean no one from inside but you. You can keep your friends and family and you can be so happy with them, but again when you think in a deep thoughts you will return to what I’m saying here. President Barrack Obama needed no one but himself on his ways of becoming the first black president of America originated from East Africa (Kenya). The same thing happened to all successful people who have made changes in some sort of fields like politics, football, basketball, music, mechanics, computing, etc. It is clearly open that, people who are surrounding you right now are nothings to you…. You give them respects and you are happy with them, but they are completely nothing when it comes to you, including your parents sometimes.

Every Catholic teen will be evangelized in the coming year. That is a fact. The question is this: Who will evangelize our teens, and to what will they be converted? Ironically, most "evangelization" is being done not by the Church but by contemporary American culture. A variety of voices are vying for the attention and allegiance of our youth. Many of those voices, often electronically piped into our unsuspecting households, proclaim relevantly, creatively, and persuasively a message contrary to our Catholic faith. Yet the Church possesses a message that addresses the most significant hunger of every teen's heart. We have exactly what young people are searching for. We struggle, however, in constructing an environment that teens find attractive, and we often fail to proclaim the Gospel in a creative and culturally relevant manner. Make It Real: A Practical Resource for Teen-Friendly Evangelization is all about building evangelistic ministry that not only is worth teens' time but also addresses the issues that are real in their lives. This book provides fresh, clear, and test-driven principles for building an effective and teen-friendly ministry for evangelistic outreach. The fully designed sessions help the busy youth worker implement dynamic and spiritually powerful evangelistic gatherings.

No one can deny that friendships are powerful relationships of influence. Why not strategically incorporate friendship within a philosophy of leadership? People long for relational models of leadership, yet few specific methodologies have been developed. This book examines the friendship of God with humanity, and the leadership of Jesus with his disciples, to whom he declared, “I no longer call you servants . . . Instead, I have called you friends” (John 15:15). In response to this enduring example of the Divine bringing together both friendship and leadership, this book presents an unexplored model of leadership for the Christian practitioner: Friendship Leadership. The authors of Friendship Leadership share research, historical examples, and their personal experiences with this leadership model, as they describe both the trials and triumphs. Through this process, the book addresses the primary barriers a leader might experience when utilizing the Friendship Leadership model. Finally, the authors offer a guide for how to incorporate friendship into their leadership, strengthening others as they follow the example of our great Leader. The result is a transformational way of leading that nurtures relationships.
