Responding
When you respond to life, that's positive; when you react to life, that's negative. Example: you get sick and go to the doctor. Chances are good that after an examination he or she would give you a prescription with instructions to return in several days. When you walk back in if the doctor starts shaking his head and says, "It looks like your body is reacting to the medicine, we're going to have to change it," you probably would get a little nervous. However, if the doctor smiled and said, "You're looking great! Your body is responding to the medication," you would get excited and feel much better. Yes, responding to life is good. Reacting to the incidents of life is negative - and that's bad. The next example validates that fact.

Several people have written me recently asking the same question: How do I stay energized and keep my confidence up while I'm looking for work?

RIPKEN BELONGS IN BRANDING HALL OF FAME
This summer Cal Ripken will be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame -- not so much for his baseball numbers as for the fantastic brand he created.

Yet he is one of the most popular, memorable, and marketable players of recent history. Why?
Securing Success For Your Home Business
Working from home is, for some people, the epitome of the American dream. You set your own hours, and you get to decide which twelve hours of the day are considered working.

What will be the Future of Work?
In view of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Time Magazine and others predict that future of our work life will be substantially different!

However, we will need to become one person incorporations that have a proven, certifiable, virally marketable set of skills. All brand development, marketing and sales will need to be done by ourselves and at our own expense.
Developing Leadership Skills – Communication is Key
Developing leadership skills can help you advance rapidly in your career as well as change your perspective and ideas about what you want to achieve in life.

Why Employees' Leisure Interests are Good for Business
We all possess unique skills and talents, many of which come to the fore only when pursuing passionately-enjoyed leisure interests. Yet most businesses still only focus on the skills and abilities stated on job specifications.
