   Yours truly published an article that is based on surveys from you readers as well, and since it has been receiving nothing but positive feedback from Mind Enriching Corner's readers we decided to follow it up.
Online Education through the years has been growing in popularity that employers are now recognizing online education degrees from their applicants. But of course skeptics will always be around, and for the benefit of you readers, Yours truly decided to interview people who first hand experience regarding the online education matter


Marty Cage- Online education is highly recommended by people but you have to make sure it is a good program. Do your research and make sure to keep away from all-encompassing schools, try to look for a program that will further increase your resume's credit. Do your research well.

Sylvia Zapanta- Some few years ago, I got interested in furthering my knowledge and education (being a college undergradute that time,) since I am working and a single mother to add to that, it seems like being back to college is just like a dream that is near yet so far, until I discovered online education, that dream became reality. I got my degree, and everything seems to work out for the better.

Antonio Porter- You need to consider a lot of factors, let me elaborate some things that I can think of, Accreditation, If you go to an un-accredited school the units won't appear on your resume and chances are you just wasted your time, efforts and money. Online education can sometimes be a more stressful endeavor to be in, it requires more self discipline and more hard work.

Chris Hemmingway- Online education needs to be practiced globally, Mexico has been doing distance education fort quite sometime now and they have been doing well, the point is, Online education is here to stay and why not make it a global tradition, After all is said and done, there are a ton of advantages that online education can bring to people whatever lifestyle they're living.

Calvin Alas- I have two Master's degree, one that is done in real life campus and the more recent graduation for Online classes, I have to be honest that I find the Online classes harder than the real campus experience.
Everybody who are seeking for an advice about this matter must have heard "accreditation" more than once, but it really is important, and find a college that has above state accreditation.

Christian Gates- Education is better than no education at all, and let's be honest, today's work industry requires a bachelor's degree for a lot of jobs that the employers don't ask for a couple of years ago, and for people who doesn't have time to be on real-life campus then online education is their way to go, time is flexible and you can do homework whenever you feel like it but then again it will require a lot of self discipline.

Emma Delgado- A lot of pros and cons relies heavily when online education is the subject, but it will ultimately boil down to what fit the needs and time of a particular person who wants to further their education and resume, weigh everything and make sure you make the right decision, after all, Education is a very serious matter and whether by Distance learning or Campus learning, we have to make our best effort on whatever situation we are in so that we can finish our studies and be an asset on the work industry.

Basketball Phenomenon Worldwide

Basketball has been one of the world's most popular sport for so many decades now, eversince Dr. James Naismith invented and introduced this wonderful game to mankind, all it did was sort popularity. Today, the NBA (National Basketball Association) continues to be the most popular league in the whole world, The NBA season recently ended and the newly crowned Miami Heat won their second championship in franchise history, with superstars Lebron James, Dywane Wade and Chris Bosh leading the team all the way, a basketball fan like myself couldn't help but get excited for basketball's popularity and competitiveness for many many years to come. In the Philippines, the Philippine Basketball Association or PBA is nearly as much entertaining as any leagues worldwide, with superstars James Yap, Mark Caguioa and Jayjay Helterbrand carrying the torch for the league, the PBA will never be dull.

Basketball International competitions are also worth watching as it quickly gaining fans all around the world, countries such as France, Argentina. Spain and many more who observe tough training programs continues to dominate the worldwide scenes, winning championships every now and then, but the USA dream team still remains the most popular and dominant team and will always be the team to beat.

Basketball is a fun entertaining game to watch and it is certainly worth it to cheer for any team whichever league they are in. Whether in College, Amateur, Professional, and international level, every game is worth your time and Basketball is a sure way to a healthier living, physically and psychologically.

Where to get your Master's Degree Education

In a world where competition is everywhere - and a high level too, equipping yourself with a Master's Degree will put you in a significant position to have an advantage over most job-hunters like yourself. 

Smaller Universities, require their instructors to have a Master's degree, which a few years ago, is not necessarily a requirement, that goes to show how education continues to improve worldwide and that is nothing but a positive impact. 

Master's degree education can be acquired in different known universities, but other options have been appearing over this past few years, of those "other options" that has been growing popularity is the Online Education Degree. Online Education degrees has been offered in universities and has been receiving positive feedback from people who graduated from Online education method. 

But for some, real life campus experience is still the way to go, for them, stating that nothing can beat the hands-on approach to education. An advantage for online education however, is you will have a more flexible schedule and the extra time will always come in handy (especially if you're already working.) 

That being said Online education and campus education has its own advantage and disadvantages, but like any other things, a particular student has its own preference and it is very important to choose whatever suits a particular person, but everybody will agree that no matter how you get your Master's degree whether online or going to the campus, nothing can go wrong in expanding one's knowledge and wisdom thru education. 

Real Estate

Make a personal list of "Hard but rewarding jobs" and I'm sure that Real Estate selling will be on top of most people's list, You see them at the malls, at the parking areas of supermarkets, and practically everywhere.
Real Estate sellers are normally required to dress up regardless of where they are handing out fliers containing the info of the properties they are trying to sell, whether exposed to the rays of the sun, or soaking on a wet rainy day, it is mandatory that they have an appearance that will be pleasing to the potential customer's eye.

The Challenge:
   Most Agents selling Real Estate, especially the beginners would have a not-so-easy time learning the ropes of selling Real Estate, confidence and poise is a must if you are talking to customers, a simple smile is always observed as it could make or break the deal. "Quota" (wherein the company sets a particular number of sale on a particular time frame) is another added pressure, but once you learned the ins and outs of Real Estate selling, well, the rewards, as I have pointed out, are very much worth it.


The Rewards:
   A successful property or real estate sale will give you a particular percentage of the total amount of the sale (aside from your fixed monthly salary) which will be a hefty amount considering the appreciating value of real estate nowadays, not only that, you helped a family pick a new home that will shelter and protect them for many years to come, so regardless of the hardships, Real Estate selling is very much rewarding

The Rock: An icon larger than life

Take it literally, figuratively, athletically, cinematically and very physiologically. In and out of the rin or on and off screen, six-foot, five inch, 260-pound Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has become almost unimaginably "humongous" in every sense of the word. Born May 2, 1979 in California and an integral member of the University of Miami Hurricanes' 1991 NCAA national American football championship team, the present-day, recently turned 40-year-old is a veteran professional wrestler and screen super macho-man who has charmed virtually the whole world - from his native US, to Europe, Asia, Australia and beyond- so much that he really is an icon larger than life.

And why shouldn't he be? Firstly, Johnson is highly regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, having won a total of 16 (nine as a world champion) championships in World Wrestling Entertainment, and is a five time co-holder of the WWE Tag Team Championship. He was the sixth to notch the WWE Triple crown and the winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble, which was the 13th such annual pay-per-view event produced by the WWE that to place at the prestigious Madison Square Garden ,New York City.
   His most recent wrestling achievement was a return-to-the-ring defeat of John Cena last April 1, 2012 in a super-hype clash of two fame wrestling superstars of different era in front of 78,000 fans in Miami, Florida, in "Wrestlemani XXVIII," the tagline of which was, most appropriately," Once in a Lifetime."

But Wait......He is not One-dimensional At All
   However, and it must be pointedly emphasized, his famed "rock" stardom also emanates from a current film and TV industry career, from which he is now likewise gigantic on a planetary scale. His ascent has been a spectacular one this far but is still exponentially on the rise - an incredible as that reality might seem to be.
The Rock's popularity has been fuelled by his innate charisma, impromptu eloquence and speech-making abilities, all of which have often led to many memorable catchphrases and subsequent merchandising "bonanzas."

Kids and Comedy - The Rock for Everyone
   Johnson crosses generational divides; from mature audiences to young adults. Children absolutely love him  as well because his highly unique blend of talent is extremely atypical; he can be brute force at a given moment for a particular film feature and then, all of a sudden, become disarming to kids in a movie in which he interacts with them in not just a fatherly fashion but in a friendly, funny and endearing one as well.
   One such classic example was his starring role as a minor league hockey player (who hits opposing players so hard he knocks out their teeth) in 2012's comedy film "The Tooth fairy" with Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews. The movie initially received negatived reviews from, the so-called film critics and industry experts but defied the predictions and became decidedly successful at the box office - costing $48 million to make but grossing more than double the budgeted amount by pulling in $112.5 million. Aside from being funny, kids were intricately involved in the plot of this one.


Movie Star Born in Record Fashion
   Johnson's first leading role as an actor was in "Scorpion King" in 2002, for which he was paid what was at the time an unheard-of-sum of $5.5 million - the highest salary ever for an actor in his first starring role. Other blockbuster Dwayne Johnson movies include "Be cool," (cost: $53 million, box office: $95 million);
"Walking tall," (cost: $46 million, box office: $57 million); "Gridiron Gang," (cost: $30 million, box office: $31.5 million); "The Game Plan," (cost: $22 million, box office: $150 million); "Get Smart," (cost: $80 million, box office: $231 million); "Race to With Mountain," (cost: $50 million, box office: $106 million); "Planet 51," (in which he did voice-over only - cost: $70 million, box office $104 million); "The Other Guys," (cost: $70 million, box office: $104 million); "Faster," (cost: $24 million, box office: $36 million); and April 2011's "Fast tfive" (cost: $125 million, box office: $630 million); in which he starred opposite Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.


Philanthropy
   In 2006, Johnson began "The Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation", which is known for its charitable work with at-risk and terminally ill children. In 2007, Johnson donated one million dollars to his alma mater, the University of Miami, to support the renovation of its football facilities. The donation was distinguished for being the largest donation ever give to the university's athletics department by a former student. As such the University of Miami renamed the Hurricanes' locker room in Johnson's honor.


Most Recent Distinguishing Accolade
   The Rock received the Action Star of the Year Award at CinemaCon convention of theater owners in Las Vegas. Hosted by the National Association of Theater Owners, CinemaCon ran from April 23 to 26, 2012 at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Johnson received the CinemaCon award during Paramount's opening night presentation.
   CinemaCon general Mitch Neuhauser said Johnson was "an exciting performer who first gained attention from audiences around the world when he developed the iconic character 'The Rock'. Dwayne Johnson has taken his charismatic presence to the big screen and has proven over and over again that he can entertain audiences of all ages - whether it be in an action-paced film or a family comedy."


TV Too!
   The Rock has made it on television too, playing himself (cameos) in "Hannah Montana," "Wizards of Waverly Place," Family Guy" and "Cory in the House," as well as guest hosting long-running television shows such as "Saturday Night Live," which has been around since the late 1970s. He has also appeared in an episode of "Star Trek: Voyager" while likewise having played the role of Cliffjumper on "Transformers: Prime" in 2010.


2012 and Beyond
   Earlier this year, Johnson starred in another box office performer "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" from Warner Brothers, which cost $79 million to make and has thus far grossed more than $313 million already. Released in 29th of May this year is Paramount's "G.I Jose: retaliation," while over the horizon for 2013 is "Pain & Gain," a comedy movie. The film is based on a Miami New Times article by investigative journalist Pete Collins about "bodybuilders in Florida who became criminals involved in an extortion ring and a kidnapping plot that goes horribly awry."
   It certainly looks like The rock, at just 40 and in the prime of his life, is likely to keep getting bigger and BIGGER. And why not? he is, after all, "The Rock" for all ages
