The Daily Prompt – No. 105
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
If I wrote “Jesus”, I would lying. The answer to this question is Donald Trump. The man overcame odds to become a multibillionaire real estate magnate with a beautiful family. He’s a media mogul as well, had a great Twitter feed, and was the best president in my lifetime. (Hopefully he’ll come back again.)
At the moment, he is epitome of success. He is also undergoing unprecedented political persecution unseen in the history of this country. A lesson to take from his ascent/descent: with great success comes with setbacks.

Improving Stamina – Update No. 3

Next time I will do it again at 11.0 mph.

The Daily Prompt – No. 103
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
This prompt reminds me of Brewster’s Millions, albeit a very simplified version of it. (Side note: I was originally thinking of the movie adaption that started Richard Pryor. I had no idea that there was book that the film was based on.)
If I had a million dollars, I would tithe (give 10%) to my church first. Then I would donate to charities and ministries that I believe and have helped me to grow as a person. After I’d give to local political candidates who are involved in the community.
