  September 11, 2001: Remembering a Day That Changed the World By Mary Lourdes Bonnici MBA On 11 September 2001 , an ordinary Tuesday morning became one of the darkest days in modern history. For those who remember watching the events unfold, the images remain difficult to forget. For younger generations, September 11 may feel like history learned through photographs, documentaries and books. Yet behind every image and every statistic were real people — parents, children, partners, friends, colleagues, emergency responders and travellers whose lives were changed forever. This article is written in remembrance. It is not about sensationalising tragedy. It is about understanding what happened, honouring those who died, recognising extraordinary acts of courage, and reflecting on why the events of September 11 continue to matter 25 years later . What Happened on September 11, 2001? On the morning of 11 September 2001, 19 members of al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger airc...

  When Fear Goes Viral: Natural Disasters, Social Media and the Importance of Critical Thinking By Mary Lourdes Bonnici MBA Introduction: Why I Decided to Write This Article I want to teach, inform and encourage people to think carefully before allowing fear to take control. After carrying out a great deal of research, I decided to write this blog about a topic that is becoming increasingly visible on social media. Every day, people around the world encounter dramatic videos of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, storms, tsunamis, unusual skies, auroras, landslides and other natural events. Within minutes, footage from different countries can be placed together in one video accompanied by alarming music and headlines such as: “Something is happening to the Earth.” “Everything is happening at the same time.” “Scientists cannot explain this.” “The signs are everywhere.” Some of the events shown in these posts are completely genuine. Natural disasters are real. People lose their ...

  Celebrating 10,000 Website Views: A Milestone of Gratitude By Mary Lourdes Bonnici MBA Today, I am delighted to celebrate an important achievement—my website has officially reached 10,000 views. When I created my website, my purpose was to establish a welcoming place where knowledge, education and inspiration could be shared.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported my journey. Thank you to those who visited my website, shared my articles, watched my video...

  Sometimes We Forget the Good Things Around Us: Learning to Notice What We Already Have By Mary Lourdes Bonnici MBA Sometimes we become so focused on what is missing that we stop noticing what is already there. We think about the goal we have not yet reached, the problem we have not solved, the person who disappointed us, the opportunity that did not arrive, the plans that changed, or the future we are still waiting for. Meanwhile, life continues quietly around us. Someone cares about us. The sun rises. A message arrives from someone who remembered us. We sit down with a cup of tea or coffee. We hear laughter. We look at a beautiful sky. Someone shows us kindness. We have another opportunity to learn something, change something, forgive someone, help someone or simply experience another day. None of these things makes life's genuine difficulties disappear. But sometimes we become so occupied by what is wrong that we stop seeing what is still good. That is why gratitude matters. Gr...
