Right Leaders, Decent Government
Posted by Focus Pacific on November 1st, 2025
As years roll by, countries have experience certain downfalls and success and we get to blame or credit the only group running our country, the government. Our government is composed of various people, with various attitude, beliefs and a different way of thinking. Our government will impose acts and that will determine the status of our country. They are brain of the country.
Brain of the country, the group who carries the country’s fate. Which is the main reason why we have to pick them wisely. We don’t want a bunch of imbeciles to take charge. We have to pick someone who is responsible enough to lead our country to a much awaited success. Someone who is actually working, not someone who randomly appears only during campaign season and once chosen, disappears into thin air. Someone who is knowledgeable in the field of leading and someone who thinks of the good future of the country.
We have decent candidates every time election comes, and they are enlisted on different parties. Why not put them together and let them lead. By doing that, we are at least putting our country in good and safe hands. Appointing these leaders is our, the public’s responsibility. They wouldn’t win unless we choose them. So, partly, the country’s fate also lies in our hands.

We have the right to pick our leaders. Let’s not waste this chance. Before voting, let’s have a quick analysis of the candidate. Are they worth it? Are they gonna do a good job in leading our country? Let’s have this questions in mind. Let’s not be fooled by the advertisements. They are made to make the candidates look good.
Let’s base on how they actually are. If they were re-elected, let’s have a quick look on how they did in the previous quarter, if they are new candidates, they are certain articles and testimonials online that states the doing of the candidate. The fate of our country is in the hands of these people. We don’t want them to make mistakes that puts us in danger and embarrassment. Let’s vote wisely.

Global Economy and Europe

Global Economy and Europe
Europe as a first world is believed to have declined to 2.1 percent in 2015 as the Eastern Europe was suddenly hit by low fuel prices, a serious disagreement in Ukraine and continuing results of temporary economic decline in the Russian Federation. The Western Europe is receiving advantage from low fuel import value and an average improvement in the member states of the European Union. On the other hand, the growth in Europe is expected to rise by three percent this year as oil prices drop slowly or unlikely to decline. The economy of Russia also improves and Ukraine returns to normal state. The increase of profit is determined by the way the region can handle the challenges such as geopolitical pressures, low oil costs and fixed external economic setup. When it comes to economic breakthrough, Russia is expected to compress by 0.7 percent this year before displaying positive development in 2017. Russia belongs to the top 15 of global economies, with fast improvements compared to Austria, Norway, Belgium, the UK and China, according to the 2016 Bloomberg Innovation Index. Extended period of low oil costs and global agreements will pull economic activity. Investors with poor conviction and high interest rates are alarming the process of investment and a sudden drop in consumer purchasing energy has damage consumption. The price index scored economies using investigative activities that a business chooses to conduct with the intention of making a discovery that can either lead to the development and application of high technologies in public industries. Aside from that, Russia also carried the major position of research application. Furthermore, there are some significant factors that affect the global economy in Europe. Europe has to increase their power to deal with important security issues. The refugee crisis in Europe is a crucial factor that will continue to exist this year. The countries in Europe that will be affected the most are Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Austria and Italy. The short-term economic outcome of increasing migration drift will relatively have increase GDP growth in Germany and Sweden caused by temporary increase in spending funds for the society. The outcome of increasing population is certain in the long-term, decreasing the pressure of growing population.

Get your life organized

Get your life organized
Marie Herras
Your desk is a mess and your room is cluttered with books and paper and the like. But that’s not it—you’re in a tizzy and you have a few hundred things to finish!
Maybe it’s time to take a break and start organizing your life.
Being in a mess all the time isn’t good for you or for your friends and family. It would start affecting your work, your social life and your wellbeing—and you wouldn’t want any of those to happen.
So what do you do? Here are five ways to get the clutter out of your mind for a stress-free environment:
Grab an organizer/journal.
In it, write all the things you need to finish and when you need to finish it. Make a list of priorities and a box beside each of them so you could check whatever you have already done. Always remember to this everyday without fail, so you wouldn’t have to forget any requirements you need to finish.
Set up a work/study playlist.
According to a few studies, music helps you get going and moving—so make a playlist filled with all the songs that soothe or relax, so you could listen to them during stressful times in order to avoid panic attacks during rush hours.
Set up an alarm every day.
The term “better late than never” is wrong. You should never be late if you want to achieve anything in your life. So, set up an alarm in the morning so you could wake up on time—and an alarm at night so you know when your body has had enough and it is time to give yourself a break.
Avoid a messy workplace
A messy desktop or table would only confuse your mind. Find a few boxes and set them up on your table so you could differ what is important to what is trash—plus, you’ll never go crazy looking for another file ever again.
Relax.
It’s bad to stress yourself out. Once in a while, give yourself a break—visit a friend or go to party, or maybe go shopping or eat out. Do anything that would make you feel happy and rejuvenated in order for you to get going again the next day.

AI Helpful—When We Use It Wisely
AI is a technology that occurred not for a long time. Many people usually dislike Ai for many reasons like plagiarism, copyright, not using your own worlds. Sometime Ai can be useful in some places. For example, Ai can help you make a graph in split seconds. Ai is now used in different area of the whole internet. Ai is a tool which can help people’s daily or important works. Simulation of different thing is run by Ai. It helps you to tidy your note and help you to review before the test. It saves time for you to do more thing that help you better.
Even we don’t notice, ai is already in our daily. There are a lot of normal steps in our daily life which was controlled by ai like face recognition, google map, and bank system. Personally, I use ai to tidy my notes and it help me to review for the test. Ai is also good at making time schedule. You can make a time schedule in different style as you want. It can make image, which you can use for a reference.
Even though ai sound easy and helpful but using ai too much can cause serios problem. Study show over use of ai can cause of reduce brain activity. Most people that are using Ai by copy paste can’t even remember what they write. Over use of ai are extremely bad for your academic life. Using ai on writing essay can usually lead to bigger consequence. There are people which are expelled from school so it is here to warn you to not use it in some field of works
Ai can improve student efficiency on learning. In my own experience, there was a history class talking about Europe history. I accidently missed out the most important part. I use ai to teach me that part which I was missing. When you have your time schedule waiting. Ai can deal with it in seconds. You can even ask it to make a video about your topic to help your works completion. Ai is especially good at math explanations. You can ask ai to write every small step of the calculation. It can also explanation of every concept during the calculation. You can learn it all form ai.
In the end, I wish people can start to use ai in a good purpose. People now have a very strong stereotype of ai related with copying. Ai can actually be the teacher that is 24hour online. Ai can save time with doing thing less important like helping classifying note, graph making and time table making. Ai can also provide thing a lot of websites doesn’t have. It can provide video and picture on your topic by your will.
