Don't work for money
There is an old cliché that goes, “Job is an acronym for ‘Just Over Broke.’” And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means.” They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the “Rat Race”. Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying, they become like those little hamsters running around in those little metal wheels. Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiously, but come tomorrow morning, they’ll still be in the same cage: great job.

Goodbye Thatcher
Former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher has died after suffering a stroke today. Britain's first and only female political leader passed away peacefully aged 87, after suffering from poor health for more than a decade.
The Queen was sad to hear of Baroness Thatcher's death and Her Majesty will send a private message of sympathy to the family, Buckingham Palace said today. Prime Minister David Cameron said: 'It was with great sadness that l learned of Lady Thatcher’s death. We've lost a great leader, a great Prime Minister and a great Briton'. He will return early from his visit to Europe this afternoon following the death of Baroness Thatcher, Downing Street said.
Farewell.

Why you are not motiviated
f your life is quite comfortable, you may lose motivation to push yourself to grow. Keep in mind that it's always good to get out of your comfort zone, because that's the only way you can improve yourself. Do something you're hesitant about every week, and you'll find yourself getting used to it or even looking forward to the challenge after some time. It can be something small like asking someone you just met out for lunch, or a bigger move like giving honest feedback to your boss.
If you set unrealistic expectations, you are setting yourself up for higher chances of failing, which can cause you to lose motivation. Make sure your goals are actually achievable before setting them.

Dream job versus reality
What are your dream job prospects? Are you looking to break into the subprime mortgage origination business, or are you looking into alternative energy? Some sectors are hotter than others. Growing industries will hire faster. Newer industries will hire people with less experience (since by default everyone has less experience in brand new industries) and are more open to career changers.
These are just some of the issues that you have to weigh. The work involves actually thinking through these issues — calculating your financial obligations, your reserves, examining your will and researching your target sectors. It is not a single right or wrong answer, but more of a process and series of actions. In this way, it is less about waiting and more about doing. The best job seekers are proactive and don’t wait.

Prevent from being droozy in spring
Ever have one of those days when you’re unsure if you can make it to the end of the day without snoozing at your desk? Those sleepless nights can be tough, but staying awake on the job is even more painful. Too much coffee can make you jittery, so what else you can do to avoid snoring at work?
First, take notes to keep yourself focused on your tasks. It’s also a good way to keep your sleep-deprived self from making careless mistakes.
Second, using minty eye drops will double the jolt. This is a great tip because you don’t have to leave your desk to do it.
Finally, try to get some sun if you can. Bring the shades up or take a short walk to soak in the sunshine. It will make your body feel more awake and facilitate a better adjustment to daytime mode.

What a wonderful world
Last afternoon,a very touching scenery was presented on a roadside of OCT bay, a famous traveling spot in Shenzhen.When a hungry old man goggle-eyed at the packed meal in the fast-food store through the glass of the store, a young passing girl went to buy a pack of meal for the old man without any hesitate.The most impressive point was that the girl keeled on the ground and feed the old man with patience.

How to refresh your mind in 10 mins
When you go from one task to the next--all day long--your mind constantly races to catch up.
The average office worker changes windows [on her computer] 37 times an hour.When your mind changes gears that rapidly, part of your brain is still engaged in the previous task and you don’t have all of the attention and resources necessary to concentrate on the current task. This slows down productivity and reduces your ability to filter relevant information from irrelevant information.
Refreshing your brain is easier than you think. Here's the first and only step: Do nothing.Simply setting aside 10 minutes each day to quiet your mind. Practice observing anxieties without passing judgment--simply experience them. Focus on the present moment and nothing else.
We can’t change every little thing that happens to us,but we can change how we experience it.
