Your words make a difference

As someone who loved Robin Williams' stand up comedy and numerous movies, his quote is not only empowering to any writer and communicator (in any form), but it's something to remember before your next discussion with loved ones, friends, family and colleagues.

Words have impact. Use them carefully. Strike when it's necessary and take a soft, fluffy approach when it's appropriate.

For your career, words can make all the difference between how your colleagues perceive you, which also goes a long way into encouraging promotions. Nobody wants to work with someone who is underserving or underhanded. As long as your character matches what you say, you will get noticed in a positive way.

Is that cash, credit or slavings?

Once upon a time, when i worked in retail i was caught up in the whirlwind that involved trying to balance my part time earnings (while i studied) with my never ending spending. Time and time again i had to ask people at the cash register the same question of how they would part with their money to purchase their new found clothing.

I laughed back and thought how right he was. I guess for some people it really does feel that way. It made me think, in a way he was right. Aren't...

How is your life looking?

The question below is one that i have asked myself, as i imagine everyone has at some point; is life good? Am I happy? What makes me happy? What am i doing with my life? The answer, as it turns out, can be simple: yes or no. Without thinking too much about it and getting caught up in all the variables that can affect our happiness, we should focus on these two potential paths. If life is good, then that's good. Keep doing what you're doing and don't ever look back, but if life is not good, one must change something. Do something different so that you can improve your life and keep changing things until your answer to the same question becomes a yes. Source:  http://tinyurl.com/o5ch5fm
