Who gave birth to "April Fool"?

An April Fool is considered to be someone who sends jokes or plays tricks after noon. This is because in some countries, the jokes only last until noon. Whatever the origin of April Fool is... it's still unknown. More detailed references to the talked-about event are said to have piqued public curiosity in the 18th century. There are lots of theories that have been made and speculated about how the tradition started. Unfortunately, none of them has been successful in providing evidence. With this, the mystery of April Fool's Day's origin remains unsolved. Whatever and wherever the tradition started, most people still celebrate it. Are you ready to discover news saying that the planet has been invaded by aliens? Or that Bigfoot was found sitting beside Elvis Presley? How about learning that Michael Jackson is alive and enjoying summer beaches in a Southeast Asian country? Well, be wise. Be wise. Be wise.
pursuing EXCELLENCE...

For years, people have strived for excellence. Many individuals and organizations consider excellence to be a fundamental value or goal worth pursuing. What, then, is excellence? What does it mean to pursue it? What lies within the concept of excellence? Allow me to share some insights as we collectively strive for excellence: Excellence means: Surpassing average or mediocrity. Committing to go the extra mile. Devoting what you are, what you have, and what you do to God and then giving your best. Focus on giving your best without dwelling on rewards, as they will naturally follow. Steps to Excellence: Recognize the significance of the mediocrity problem. Decide to be an excellent professional. Regularly reaffirm your commitment. Consistently provide excellent service. Resist all temptations to backslide. Benefits of Excellence: Mastery of your craft. Admirable and marketable skills. A promising career trajectory. Fulfillment in life. Hearing the words, "Well done," from God. Are you ready to pursue excellence? :)
