I swear, you guys, I almost called this one If You Say I’m Nice or Smart, I Will Straight Up Punch You in the Mouth. And now I feel that that requires some explanation.

Sometimes we do and say things without even thinking. We don’t consider how our words or actions will affect other people in the short or long run. Instead, we are too often fueled by anger and frustration, acting completely on instinct.

What would happen if you just asked?

This is a question that I rarely ask myself, because I’ve been poking around and asking questions since I was a little kid. And so I know the answer to my original question: People respond, or don’t. You get what you want, or don’t. And life goes on.

A college degree is just a piece of paper to me. I worked hard and spent a lot of money on mine. But, it’s not what got me a job. Thousands of people who are without a job right now have that piece of paper…some are just more expensive or earned in different fields.

In order to be a marketable job candidate once you graduate, I believe you need to spend hours outside of the classroom to develop your real-world skills.

Current Mood: I’m feeling blues-y. The music, not the emotion.

Current Song: Haven’t decided. Maybe some Coldplay? Maybe some Elbow?

One of my most favourite quotes that I’ve come across lately is by Jean-Paul Sartre, who says, “If you’re lonely when you’re alone, you’re in bad company.”

Being out of practice has changed my own comfort level. When I step up, the adrenalin rushes through me so quickly, my body is shaking violently. I can’t channel her as easily anymore, and I don’t know if she’ll show up this time. What if it’s just me?

What happens to life after college? For so many of us it’s a time where we don’t know exactly where we are going or heading. Friends get engaged, married, and pregnant while we wonder if life is passing us by faster than we thought. We worry about finding jobs and wonder where to go in our careers once we do find that first gig. In short, the Quarterlife crisis is where we stop being kids and start being grown up.

Note: Recently, I received a search in my Lijit stats stating, “I newly started at an ad agency how to improve and interact with the people give me some ideas.” No really, that’s a word-for-word search on my blog.

When you watch TV, it’s difficult to avoid the shows and ads about people who’ve “made it”; no more acne, lost 30 lbs, made X amount of money, etc. Biography, E!, History, A&E are all culprits in leading us to believe that we can also make it.

The problem isn’t that we can’t make it, it’s that we think there’s something to make it to. Some end that will make us happy.

The philosophy behind this syndrome is:

I recently received an advanced copy of the book The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working by Tony Schwartz, which came out earlier this week. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t accept many of these books any more because most of them don’t interest me.

THE DAY STARTS WITH A FEELING OF FATIGUE

In our lives it’s almost inevitable that we we will face problems, challenges, and uncertainty. If it were perfect and predictable, the we wouldn’t be much different than robots. Wayne Dyer said, paraphrasing the Tao te Ching, “When you change the Way You look at Things, the way things look change.” Often the greatest setbacks in our life end up being the greatest blessing in disguise.

The moment I read the words, “Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” while reading Hamlet in high school, my life changed. It changed because it surfaced to my consciousness that we all have the power to control the way we perceive virtually everything that happens to us (I say virtually because there are some things that will be devastating to us no matter how positive we try to be).

They say it takes 30 days to form a habit and 90 days to change your life, especially when it comes to health and wellness.

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Ali Hale of Constructively Productive.

Multitasking. All the rage a couple of years ago; but now it gets a bad rap. (I’ve written my share of posts against it, too.) I’m starting to think there’s a middle ground.

A while ago, I was having dinner with a friend. She jokingly mentioned that my biography should be titled “Beating the System” or something along those lines, because of all the stuff I’ve managed to get away with.
