jobs stress thinking
People really do think they have to choose between high stress and high reward jobs, and low stress and low reward jobs.
jobs mean entrepreneur
A recession is very bad for publicly traded companies, but it's the best time for startups. When you have massive layoffs, there's more competition for available jobs, which means that an entrepreneur can hire freelancers at a lower cost.
jobs done world
The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.
jobs passion method
Converting your own passions into a job is the fastest method for eliminating any passion you once had.
jobs names google
Personal branding is about managing your name - even if you don't own a business - in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that your "blind" date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview? Ditto.
jobs perfect people
I will take as a given that, for most people, somewhere between six and seven billion of them, the perfect job is the one that takes the least time.
inspirational dream jobs
For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.
jobs wind soul
But if it's tolerable mediocrity, and you're like, 'Well, you know it could be worse. At least I'm getting paid.' Then you wind up in a job that is slowly killing your soul and you're allowing that to happen. Comfort can be a very, very dangerous thing.
hard-work hard
I work hard, but in spurts.
cutting dedication essence
At least three time per day at scheduled times, he had to ask himself the following question: Am I being productive or just active? Charney captured the essence of this with less-abstract wording: Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important? He eliminated all of the activities he used as crutches and began to focus on demonstrating results instead of showing dedication. Dedication is often just meaningless work in disguise. Be ruthless and cut the fat.
work weekend important
Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."
coffee airplane champion
World barista champions use the AeroPress to make coffee on the folding tray tables of airplanes.
driven activity
Work is an activity that is financially-driven or one that you'd like to do less of.
witty fun sake
What I don't like is snark for snark's sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it.
