The Importance of Family

Family is one of the most important things in life. People often say that family is forever while friends might leave you at any moment as they come and go. While it is true that family will sometimes abandon a person, there is a sort of obligation that family members have to stick with one another. Even when one side of a family disowns another side, they usually are still somehow involved in each other’s lives at some point and in some way down the road. 

Some people are afraid to have children for multiple reasons, and some of those reasons are related to the responsibility they would have in dedicating time away from their independence. The requirement to feed, nurture, clothe and school their child seems overwhelming and almost impossible at times. In fact, it is incredible how much work parents can do as opposed to how much work they were doing before they had children. It seems nearly impossible to estimate the amount of work it takes to be a parent. However, most parents claim it is totally worth the effort. This is much along the same lines of extremely difficult exercise and accomplishments: the harder it is, the more proud you can be of it.

Steven Abboud has worked as the International Sales Director and Head of Product Research and Development with PhaZZer Electronics for almost a decade, and he has been a father and a family man during all that time. He is extremely busy and hardworking and puts everything he has into doing his best, but always finds time for family. He would never take back his choices, either.  Although he is a single parent, and raising his children has not been easy, he have nurtured them and provided for them and has found his way as a successful parent to his children. 

Why Society Needs Less-Lethal Weapons

A lethal weapon is sometimes the only choice a police officer has to defend his or herself. This is especially true when criminals have obtained and are using firearms. For this reason, PhaZZer Electronics have created multiple less-lethal weapons. In an attempt to save as much human life as possible, they hope that their alternative methods might be able to open a new option for an officer whose life is threatened. Instead of taking a life, the officer will have the chance to injure and temporarily incapacitate a criminal. Here are a few lesser-known benefits to using less-lethal weapons:

1.       Versatility in ammo. Although this is only true for PhaZZer products, it will likely become common across the board for all less-lethal weaponry. PhaZZer allows its clients to use not only ammo from different (even competing) companies, it also enables multiple kinds of ammunition. You can use rubber bullets, to pepper spray balls, to non-lethal electrical probes.

2.       Versatility in style. PhaZZer allows purchasers to select the color they desire and also offers different types of holsters. 

3.       Effectiveness. The effectiveness of a less-lethal weapon when used correctly is extremely high. However, certain weapons such as Tasers are much less effective if the target is wearing thick clothing. This actually harkens back to the first point and strengthens PhaZZer’s case for versatility in ammunition. In a situation where electrical probes might be less effective, one could change to pepper spray balls and experience extreme effectiveness. 

Steven Abboud has worked at PhaZZer since 2007 on creating less-lethal weapons and ammunition options and has used innovative designs to enhance current models. The non-lethal field still has a long way to go, and he plans to be at the forefront every step of the way.

Deciding What You Want to do

Working hard is something a lot of people do. However, people who love their jobs are far rarer than people who can work hard at things and enjoy doing so. Very few people are able to find things that they love to do especially in the line of employment.  You work at least one-third of your life, so those who enjoy it are not wasting it. Often, by the time a person finds something he or she loves to do, it is already too late and they have delved into a different career of their choice. Sometimes, they get lucky and can change the path they are on and do something they desire and enjoy. Most times, this is not the case.

The key to finding a job or career you believe in and will enjoy is opening yourself up to all the realms of possibility. Notice what kinds of careers your parents went into and try each of them out. Sometimes people are able to enjoy something their parents have been doing for years, but never considered it since they wanted to be different. It is important to consider all your options and make sure you are making a choice and taking all options into consideration.

Steven Abboud found a career working for PhaZZer as the International Sales Director and Head of Product Research and Development at inception. He works hard and loves what he does because he believes in the products he is creating and the difference it is making on the law enforcement community today. Making less-lethal weaponry for law enforcement officers and the military is something that he believes will make the world a better place and he loves working hard to make that happen. Finding something you love to do can change the course of your life and is certainly worth taking the time to discover.
