6 Positive Approaches We Deserve From Elected Officials

6 Positive Approaches We Deserve From Elected Officials

By Richard Brody

We go, to the polls, and vote for individuals, who, will hopefully, focus on serving and representing, our best interests, the ideals of the nation/ our society, and the common good. Unfortunately, far too often, we elect someone, because, either we believe, he's the lesser of two evils, or are overly impressed by empty promises, and rhetoric. Often, politicians resort to negativity, and vitriol, rather than focusing on how to proceed, because, while it's somewhat, easy, to blame, and complain, this approach, rarely introduces necessary, viable solutions. Therefore, this article will attempt to briefly examine, and discuss, 6 positive approaches, we deserve and need, from our elected, public officials.

1. Motivate - don't go negative!: Regardless of one's personal, political beliefs, and/ or preferences, it should be somewhat apparent, that, at the present time, we are experiencing a level of polarization, and adversarial politics, which is, unhealthy, for a sustainable future. Only, when voters recognize, it matters, who they vote for, and why, will we select leaders, who motivate us, for the common good, rather than resorting to negativity, and rhetoric, focused on vitriol, and division! Whether one supports (or voted for) President Donald Trump, his penchant for name - calling, blaming and complaining, and his populist approach, is often opposed to, the best interests, and sustainability of the nation.

2. Unify, don't polarize: When Americans focus on coming together, for the common good, it unifies us, and lets us, position ourselves, positively, towards a quality, sustainable future, which protects the freedoms and liberties, this nation represents, and becoming a leader, in the world, for protecting the environment (including clean air, and water), etc.

3. Solutions, not just blaming and complaining: Many voters cast their ballots, for candidates, who complain about issues, which they are concerned about. Unfortunately, merely blaming and complaining, does not create solutions. When we hear, someone speak about change, the end - result, is generally, only satisfying, when it, is, for the better, in a meaningful way, which emphasizes sustainability, and evolving methods and approaches.

4. Outside - the - box, alternatives, not, same - old, same - old: While there is a need, to learn from the past, and gain the necessary experience, expertise, and judgment, one must be willing to transform his methods, approaches, pursuits, and options, considered, by being, ready, willing and able, to consider, outside - the - box, alternatives, with an open - mind, rather than proceeding, within the limits of one's comfort zone!

5. Under - promise, and over - deliver: Empty rhetoric and promises, is not meaningful leadership, which the nations needs, and citizens need, and deserve! Focus on voting for those candidates, who under - promise, and over - deliver, because they are prepared, to make a significant difference, for the better!

6. Relevant and sustainable, not populist: Some candidates, are elected because they articulate populist views, and positions, even though, often, these are not in the longer - term, relevant, sustainable, best - interests of our nation!

Wake up America, because it's up to voters, to take some personal responsibility, and elect officials, who will serve and represent constituents, rather than merely a political agenda, and/ or self - interest! Will you look, beyond the rhetoric and promises, and focus on the best possible future?

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
