The definition of “success” is a vast and subjective term that holds different meanings to different people. It can mean attaining financial wealth, a position of authority, awards, or experience. It is usually connected to a goal that an individual has set for themselves. Success is often considered an end point or end game where a person may not think of themselves as successful until that one specific goal is met.   Humans often compare themselves to one another, and sometimes we tend to base our success on comparisons with those around us.    The  definition of success  itself is limitless and often changing. Initially, success could be connected to how much money we earn or the way in which society prioritizes wealth above all else as the grand prize. We start learning these lessons early in school as we strive to earn a “A” on quizzes and tests, and the way we fe...

If there is one thing that  Michael Canzian  is thankful for it’s the fact that he has strived to create  a healthy mind and body through exercise and proper diet. Of course, he also understands that with Alzheimer’s disease continuing to be an enigma and traditional pharmacological cures remaining elusive, significant research and discovery is still needed  to determine root causes and thus identify effective treatments. The fact remains that alternatives approaches must also be seriously considered.   As one ages, the risk of cognitive decline and perhaps even Alzheimer’s is a risk and concern for many older adults. Clues regarding how the disease progresses are helping the scientific community to pursue both traditional and alternative treatments and therapies.   One of the most important factors of the disease that is often overloo...

One of the non-profit charities that  Michael Canzian  donates to is the  Alzheimer’s Association . While he donates to other organizations, he highly supports the cause of this non-profit given that millions of people are affected by this disease. Through his donations, he is able to support various initiatives such as advanced research for finding the cure for Alzheimer’s and allocating proper funds for affected elders and families. It may be the case that some who consider donations may think that their contributions would not matter or be significant enough to make an impact, and therefore often choose not to donate at all.  However,  the fact remains that every dollar donation, or the donation of one’s time, is always beneficial and helpful to any non-profit in meetings its goals and objectives.  The only way to battle a progressive disease is through progressive acts of love and contribution.    ...

By definition,  marriage  is a legally and socially sanctioned union between two people  that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any).  It is a mutual agreement between two people to enter a life-long journey together. Aside from these definitions, what is the true meaning of marriage?   For  Michael Canzian , marriage is deciding to take every risk for love, making the relationship stronger each and every day, even when times are difficult. Of course, a partnership with someone out of love sounds like something easy to do; but the reality is, it is difficult to keep a marriage that continues to thrive in love and happiness. If everyone had the key to a long-lasting marriage, then the world would be a simpler place for some as the need for laws associated with annulment or divorc...

  Michael Canzian on why you should learn boating When summer comes, one of the activities that I immediately plan with my family is boating. It’s a leisure activity that we all get to enjoy–it’s relaxing yet also thrilling. Not to mention, being that we are near or on water, we get to do other water activities such as swimming, surfing, jet-skiing, and fishing. This is also the time where we get to bond as a family or spend time with our friends. When I am surrounded by nature, I am drawn to appreciate its beauty while cherishing the moments I create with the people around me.   I had my first boat when I was 10 years old. I grew up on a river and always had a boat. My stepdad taught me about boats including restoring and working on them,   learning about safe boating guidelines, preparing boat gear, putting in docks, and where and how to navigate tricky shorelines or changing sandbars. Moreover, he also taught me about skippering at a young age which is why I was ab...

  Michael Canzian - The Cycling Culture of Atlanta Cycling has increased in popularity during the pandemic as this was one activity that people can could safely and in isolation. Some of those who looked to cycling during the pandemic were long-time cyclists while some were beginners. Some were also reconnecting with the sport given that they had the time and flexibility  to get back to it. Despite the crisis that the pandemic brought, one positive aspect  of it is that society was able to recognize and restructure their way of life to accommodate the changes experienced by COVID. This is still evident post-pandemic where their newfound perspectives continue to thrive.   A place that preserves its rich history and exhibits its modernism captures the hearts of many. Atlanta is known for establishing railroad tracks in the mid-1830s to cater to routes coming from Athens, Augusta, Macon, and Savanah. Now known for its notable cycling culture where an abundance of cycl...

  Michael Canzian and Rob in Huntington Beach Relationships have been redefined throughout the pandemic. It prompted us to reevaluate the people in our lives–from the community in which we belong to the relationships to which we are committed to those with whom we share our homes. Indeed, it also gave us plenty of time to reflect on ourselves, leading us to prioritize our mental health more than ever. We had to cope with the different challenges that we faced–strengthening our ability to survive various situations despite the setbacks. Because of that, we were able to recognize people that truly matter.   Meeting people over online applications was the epitome of our social lives during the pandemic. Being on video calls was one of the ways we could maintain our friendships. We were able to discover methods that would still allow us to build meaningful relationships. Netflix Party was even invented so that people would be able to watch movies together even if they were th...
