CAPABILITY HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE

This is Sam Smith. For a long time, I have been accused of lying about my age, or faced claims that if my age were true, I shouldn't be capable of writing books, publishing articles, or working with AI—suggesting my work must belong to someone younger.

I am writing this to make a clear statement: I am who I say I am. I refer you to my blog (https://samsmithbook.blogspot.com) and my LinkedIn profile (https://linkedin.com/in/azamdayyan) if you want to know me.

Furthermore, I have noticed a pattern of constant harassment attempting to compare my accomplishments to those of my daughters or my ex-husband. These are clearly not positive comparisons; they are desperate attempts to belittle what I have achieved by claiming anything I earned was solely due to my marriage. To dismiss my value post-separation, critics have even manufactured "before and after" scenarios—critiquing everything from my lifestyle and outfits to my personal habits—to push a false narrative that only people in relationships can overcome obstacles and succeed.

They go even further by creating rumors, lies, and intentional conflicts to make me struggle, all to present themselves as superior simply because they are married or in a relationship. They declare themselves "the one and only" to exaggerate their status and achievements. What is clear to me is that they are clinging to their relationships out of fear of being on their own. By harassing single, separated, and divorced individuals, they try to boost their own self-esteem. In doing so, they even involve innocent children who end up mimicking this bullying behavior. What I have observed is that this persistent abuse has unfortunately become embedded in our culture.

I apologize if you hold a narrow view of what people can achieve and struggle to believe that individuals can accomplish anything they set their minds and effort to, regardless of their age or relationship status. If you need proof of what experience and age can accomplish, simply look at the ages of world leaders and presidents today. Capability has no expiration date.

I ASKED AI - WILL CANADA AND THE U.S. MAKE A DEAL?

The high-stakes trade dispute between Canada and the United States has reached a critical juncture. With the implementation of Canadian retaliatory counter-tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on $27.6 billion of U.S. goods—matching Washington’s punitive surtaxes on Canadian exports dollar-for-dollar—the economic relationship faces its most severe strain in decades.

While rhetoric from both capitals remains aggressive, an independent structural analysis reveals that a total trade rupture is economically unsustainable for both nations. A negotiated resolution will eventually occur, driven by built-in structural constraints and shared economic vulnerability.

To evaluate how the standoff will resolve, one must look at the differing leverage models of both economies:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                           ECONOMIC LEVERAGE                             │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┤
│ CANADA                                  │ UNITED STATES                 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
A final resolution will not be a sudden, total return to unconditional free trade.
Instead, expect a transactional, sector-by-sector de-escalation framework negotiated
around core trade.

LOVE CAN’T BE GUARDED

 I understand you, married women and men. Believe me, I was there.

You are trying to hold on to your spouse and keep him or her for yourself. It is normal; it is love. But listen to me as a romance writer who has researched extensively about marriage, divorce, and cheating: holding on to a person who doesn't care about your feelings, and blaming another single man or woman for talking or calling them, is not how you protect your relationship.

You are simply trying to limit your spouse's social and business life, thinking that if you prevent them from talking, doing business, or seeing certain people, your marriage is safe. The answer is no. If a husband or wife truly loves their spouse, they can work, socialize, and interact with both men and women while still caring deeply about their partner's feelings. They will love them unconditionally, regardless of how many other people around are prettier, more educated, or healthier.

If you notice your spouse ignoring your feelings and you try to blame someone else for their actions, you are just making excuses for them. Sooner or later, those excuses run out, and you will realize a part of you has been gone for a long time—all to protect something that did not belong to you in the first place.

I have noticed many couples fighting with outside men or women over simple small talk or business interactions. Some even go further, spreading rumors about single, divorced, or married people who work or talk with their spouse, all in a desperate attempt to save their relationship. You are only trying to hide what is wrong in your own marriage by blaming others and labeling them as bad, flirtatious, or disruptive.

In the end, your relationship will either survive for the rest of your life without true love and care—covered up only by attacking others—or it will suddenly end out of the blue, leaving you surprised. Real love cares about the lover; it does not ignore or hurt them.
