Get the webscam mug.The essence of the term "problem-challenge and opportunity", which encourages individuals to interpret problems as challenges and opportunities.
In 2009, my Ph.D. professors made me aware of the term "problem, challenge and opportunity". It encouraged me to not see problems as situations which might be impossible to correct but as situations which have solutions. Nine-years later, to simplify and capture the essence of that novel three-word term, I invented the term OPTOIMPROVE. If problems did not come our way we would stop growing. Fredrick Douglas said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress." And my Mother taught me that, "In life there is always a solution".

Get the f.e. mug.Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.
Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com for their approval.

Get the Prominent Punctuation mug.Romantic relationships are a business—because each party is trying to get the most for the least, a negotiation, and a can culminate in a partnership where both parties reproduce themselves by having children.
C.M. Fabara realized that contradicting the prevailing understanding of what romantic relationships and love are, romance is really a business where the man and the woman both work to get the most they can by giving the least to the other person. Of course, sometimes participants in a romantic relationship "fall in love" and start giving the most they can to the other person. However, their purpose is always to get the most in return. Also, keep in mind that love is basically need. And the way it works is by making individuals feel love for someone they calculate will be able to and will satisfy one or more of their needs, such as sex, protection, connections, etc.
