HATING YOUR JOB GETS YOU NO WHERE AND ONLY HURTS YOU, NOT YOUR BOSS!
I often hear about people who their jobs. Frankly I don’t understand this because I never hated a job. My jobs paid me so I could support my family, and if I did well in my job I got more opportunities. Some jobs may be dead end, I realize, but there are ways to deal [...]
DO WHAT YOU LOVE TO DO AND YOU WILL LOVE YOUR JOB!
This seems to be the popular advice given to our young people today and others in job transition too. I think it is great if you can do that but I have a few problems with that concept. Like I said, it is good if you can find that career, but what is your higher [...]
SO, WHAT DID YOU LEARN GETTING FIRED?
Well, that is a very sensitive topic for many I would assume. My intent is not to throw salt into anyone’s wound, just stimulate some thinking that may help someone get and keep his/her next job. Let me be clear, many people lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Period. But I don’t [...]
IN THIS ECONOMY I WILL NEVER GET A JOB! SAY WHAT??
Today I saw a news clip of an Occupy Wall Street protest. I’m not even sure where it was taken, but a sign holder caught my eye. He was holding a sign that said “I will never get a job in this economy”. It is difficult to find jobs today, but in this guys case [...]
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE MAKE THEIR DECISIONS WORK
Success story I am curious how some “kids” seem to figure out how to get jobs while others don’t. I would guess a lot of it comes down to parents who teach their kids if they want money they need to work for it. I may also guess that those same parents teach their kids [...]
TO COMPETE OR NOT TO COMPETE; THAT IS THE QUESTION
Work your way up! Yesterday a friend of mine asked his 23 year old college graduate son about the occupy Wall Street raucous. His son said, “why don’t they just get jobs and work their way up?” Last night on a news clip on Wall Street an older guy suggested that to a young [...]
HOW CAN WE HELP OUR FAMILIES LEARN TO COPE AND SURVIVE LIFE’S CHALLENGES?
Following is an excerpt from my book “Connecting Peace, Purpose & Prosperity”. I dedicated it to my family and told stories of how I learned various things that they would relate to. The subject is becoming more and more timely all the time. I would bet that many parents, grandparents or others have stories to share [...]
DO YOU HATE YOUR JOB?
I was at a great seminar the other day dealing with finding one’s dream job. The presenter had some great ideas on it including clarity of mission and elevator pitch and networking to find that dream job. She also talked about having a job that you hate and commented on the high number of people [...]
LEARNING TO SURVIVE AND OVERCOME OBSTACLES!
I like to talk with people wherever I go. Sometimes I ask questions, other times people just open up to me. I love hearing their stories. A few weeks ago I was speaking at an alternative school about stuff I have in my book. This school serves kids that have had some problems, addiction, grades, [...]
YOUR JOB ATTITUDE, AM I CRAZY?
I think a lot. Sometimes I come up with good ideas, other times they fail me, but I keep on and write about some of them. Lately I have been interested in the pursuit of happiness as allowed in the Declaration of Independence. I really like that concept and also believe that it is a [...]
