Start Making a Difference

In our lives we witness sorrow and joy sadness and depression ups and downs, we witness a new tragedy unfold in front of our eyes every single moment, but what do we do? How would we act?

Is it so hard to take a stand and do your part? I don't think so. In fact there are a lot of people who gave their lives helping the needy, the poor and the sick, man or woman, elder or infant.

Some how there always seem to be a way out, like it was already written and meant to be. Some how God created those people to be the saviors of those who need to be saved, never the less that will never be enough, those who need your help can't depend on the very few that made their stand.

All of us need to speak to ourselves to the inner good that we were basically born with, the kind of instincts that drives us towards doing what we were meant to do, our purpose in life which is:

"Standing up for each other"

We can take it step by step until we can do our part, until each and every one of us can get the satisfaction of sleeping at night knowing that he did something good, that he supplied a need or even drew a smile on a child's face.

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is to look at the mirror thoroughly and think: "What do I have that I can give up? When can I spare some time for the cause? Am I really committed of it's just a fling?

You will have to break your limits and get out of your shell.

Step 2:

Ask your questions, get your answers and switch from looking at yourself to looking around you, see things with new eyes, look deep into your surroundings, I assure you that you will definitely find someone who needs your help, the old neighbor, the little kid, the homeless guy or even your own family a near or distant relative.

Step 3:

Choose the best way you can be of help depending on your expertise and skills and give it your best shot. Start with something small, something you can commit to and perform on regular bases, but nothing big for starters.

Step 4:

Like we mentioned before the key word to this thing is commitment, you don't want to fail someone depending on you, so I say hold your horses and don't involve yourself in something you can't handle as it is a huge responsibility, now hold on I didn't mean to scare you away, on the contrary I am warning you because I know the overwhelming warm satisfying feelings you will get after doing your first good deed, the feelings that will drive you to make others an others and that's in fact the goal we seek to achieve, but it must be taken step by step; for you not lose your commitment.

Step 5:

Now that you took your stand and made it clear that every body must do his part, you need to ask other people to join your case and you need to spread the word, the life style we seek and our own utopia that many have dreamed of over the ages, the one we have a chance to create and live in.

We need to be their for each other, so start doing it

Boundaries of Mind

People are faced with decisions all the time, in work, in home, during meals or between them, what to wear, what to do etc.

Most of life’s greatest challenges are in fact our own creation, we often set the shape of our limits and live by the line we drew according to our custom laws of I can and I can’t.

We differ a lot from each other, in so many ways even identical twins have different habits, ideas, life styles and the way they see things and how they act upon it so, we also differ in limits some people just can’t do some things while others can easily do them without even thinking.

If I told you that I have a wooden bar 2 feet wide and 100 feet long and I had this bar safely fixed along a corridor at a height of 2 feet and I asked from any one to run along that bar for a 100$ How many of you would do it?!

I would for a 100$ I’d do it with one leg.

What if I move the same bar and put it between two skyscrapers?

Will you do it then?

But why? Why won’t you do it?

Your mind put too many boundaries for you, to stop you from doing it.

You fear of falling, getting hurt or maybe dying, but fear isn’t the only Line you need to skip, some times being intelligent can make you very confused and hesitated. In our case you can think of the wind, the gravity, the stability of the bar and its ability to break, some of us may think about the sum of money before all of that.

The bottom line is all of us have doubts about many things in our lives, but we can’t keep putting boundaries to our abilities thins are more complicated as they are so, no need for hesitation we have to know who we are and what we can do.

How to Break Credit Card Addiction

Credit card addiction is no laughing matter. Retail therapy is used jokingly in our society, yet there is a dark side to spending money. A compulsive shopper may have one or more reasons for their behavior.
A shopping addict cannot just stop cold turkey. The most obvious side effect of credit card addiction is the financial distress one causes themselves and their family, “but that is not the only negative effect of the addiction,” says April Benson, a compulsive shopping researcher.
Other effects of the shopping addiction include relationships with other people, family and friends. You can be affected professionally if you are shopping online at work or get yourself in such financial distress that it affects your credit rating. Shopping additions, including credit card addiction is a very real addiction and needs to be dealt with accordingly.





Credit card addiction is almost always coupled with poor money management. Often people will blame the credit card itself for their debt and problems.
You may be tempted to go cold turkey and cut up all of your plastic, but we live in a society where credit and debit cards are a necessity of life.
Tackling a credit card addiction today is not an easy task however, you can get control.

Instructions

1. Step 1

   To begin with, limit yourself to two or three credit cards. Use one that is a low interest rate, preferably with your bank. You can also use a gas company credit card, if it gets you a better price on gas. Consider finding a credit card that offers some kind of point or mileage system so you can benefit from your monthly charges.

2. Step 2

   Record every charge you make in a memo book or ledger. It is easy to just keep spending with a credit card. Without being able to check the internet, it is difficult to keep a running balance on your credit card. Use the internet statements to back yourself up and a memo pad to physically write down everything you are spending money on.

3. Step 3

   Put a limit on your spending. Do not use the limits that the credit card companies have set for you. They will continue to increase your limits as time goes on, do not let them dictate how you will live your life. High credit card limits can also affect your credit rating. If the credit card company automatically raises your limits without your consent, politely ask them to lower the limit back down to what your spending limits you have set for yourself are.

4. Step 4

   Do not spend more than 20% of your monthly budget on consumer debt. This is your monthly payments and includes car loans, credit card debt and other consumer debt loans. If you are paying more than 20% of your disposable income on monthly payments to consumer debt, you need to take steps to reduce or eliminate your debt.

5. Step 5

   Pay with cash! Using credit cards for convenience or to earn rewards is fine, but your goal should be to pay them off at the end of the month or the beginning of the next month. Your goal should be to pay for what you can afford. Save for big purchases, save the credit card for emergencies if you don’t have an emergency savings account (which you should have).

6. Step 6

   Don’t try to keep up with your neighbors! Know your own and your family’s goals and plan and budget for those goals. Don’t let your neighbors and friends decide what you are going to spend your money on.

How to prepare for Interviews

You just received a phone call for a job interview and are ecstatic. An interview! Then reality sets in. What if you are terrible and freeze in the middle of a question? Do not worry. A little preparation and practice will ensure that you are able to walk into the interview with confidence and leave feeling like you aced it.

Those are some Interview Preparation Tips:
First let's watch that video:

Research the Company

1. After you find you have secured an interview with a company or business, do some research through the internet or the library. Find your potential employer's mission statement and learn what the company feels is important, both as business practices and also in their employees. If you have a job interview with a small- or family-owned business, ask people you know around town for their view on what the business believes is important. The research goal is to feel secure in knowing both the background of the company as well as the specific job duties you will be expected to perform.

Anticipate Questions

2. Read over the job description of the position you've applied for. Be sure you note all the key phrases placed within the text like "attention to detail" or "strong analytical skills." Then, anticipate the types of questions that would come from those phrases. Plan on speaking about both prior work experience as well as any other outside experience or certifications that would make you a prime candidate for the position. If it helps, write out the questions and answers for quick reference in the days leading up to the interview.

Practice

1. Once you have done all the background work, practice speaking on the questions you came up with from the job description. Run through an entire mock interview with a friend or family member to polish your presentation. Also, come up with your own questions to ask, as knowledge in the business or company shows initiative and interest on your part. http://www.ehow.com - Demarco
