Actual for You - Your Goals Must Be Within Your Reach
Why is research and development in artificial intelligence and robotics so very important in the present period? Well because we are about to hit the end of an era as all these Baby Boomers retire and leave the work force. Many will be living well into their 100 year birthdays and beyond. These folks will be needing things, services and have demands and desires and yet they will not be producing. To make the issues worse industry predicts a job shortage of 10-million people by 2015. Do you doubt these figures?Well you should not as there are already severe shortages in trucking, air traffic controllers, auto mechanics and so many other industries and their sub-sectors. It is going to get worse and even if the US populations wells to 420,000,000 people by 2025 remaining in the number three most populated country spot, we will still

One day at a time our bodies "sag" or "droop" a little more than the day before. Can’t even see it happening. A slow process but very sure in a non-threatening way. Only after many years do we begin to "kinda" notice the change.
Eyelids droop. Bags form under the eyes. A little "flab" falls under the arm. Can’t seem to see our feet any longer. Love handles have suddenly surrounded us. Hair color begins to match our former dye color. Roots are showing through or turning loose.

Recent surveys suggest that, given the chance, about four out of 10 people would change career tomorrow and a further two might. The most popular reason given would be to earn more. But others want a new challenge, to do something more fulfilling, or to have a better quality of life. If you are one of these who might, what’s stopping you?Simply stated there are only two things stopping you from making the successful career change you dream of - belief and action. Or in my terms: PMA + SMA = Career Change SuccessBut everyone goes on about PMA - Positive Mental Attitude, don’t they? What does it mean?To some extent we all have some influence over the things that happen to us. I don’t mean to say that we can make everything work out right all of the time, but we can hold an attitude of expecting things t
FIRST STEP --
Set short-term, incremental goals. Work up to larger plans later. Never put yourself under the gun right from the get-go. If you do... discouragement will be right at your doorstep. You’ll quit! Remember your New Year's resolutions?
Set incremental time frames. Short-range goals are very important. Begin the first month and increase a little bit each succeeding month. Don’t give up too early in the game.... give yourself a chance to succeed.
Set UP too big a goal and you know..... nothing happens! Most of us throw in the towel rather than work slowly to the next plateau. Remember all those BIG goals in the past.... how long did they last?
SMALL BITES
Achieve success in small bites. Step-by-step your confidence builds. If you fall down.... get back up. Miss the target and make the correction. Go again with renewed enthusiasm and determination.
Some of us 'workout'.... at least we have good intentions.... before we get out of bed and our feet hit the floor. Strong guys like to "Bench" press. Big "boys" enter strong man contests. Physical fitness is (should be) a major goal for everyone. Keeps our bodies in good working order or it soon will begin to "break" down.
Our motivation can fall away in small bites, too. Don’t lose heart in what you are trying to accomplish. Set a daily time to be at the gym. Walk a mile in your neighborhood. Lift those weights "downstairs" or in the "recreation" room. Be sure to 'journal' every day's accomplishments.
REASON-ABLE
Are you reasonable? Most of us are NOT! We are not reasonable in setting goal limits. More is always better. Yes, it is OK to stretch. Run a block. Two blocks. Three blocks and then some. You put down a MILE on the very first day? Don’t do it! Same goes for weight lifting at the fitness center.
Yes, it does look better to us in our day-timer. But not on the first day that you decide it’s time to get in shape. A lot depends on how long it's been since you ran a mile. For most of us, the answer is NEVER.
How old are YOU? 32, 44, 56, 68 (whatever your age) does not make any difference. The "couch" has kept you in your comfort zone for the last 5,10,20 years. Now, for whatever reason, you are on a new exercise "kick". You are going to show the "world" that you still have it!
You are a prime candidate to have a heart attack in the middle of the street. Be fair to yourself and good to your family. Slow down. There is No rush after all those years when your body was not showing its age UNTIL recently.

The global trade and world economy will possibly increase, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This statement was in contrast to the report that the group disseminated stating that the global trade will suffer a major downside in the up and coming years. The said increase was .25 percent higher compared to the initial IMF prediction last April.IMF is a group that is responsible in checking and ensuring that each member country has sufficient funds and orderly financial system. In a recent report of the IMF, it stated that two of the biggest profit-producing industries in the world will lead the global trade to disorder. The incessant increase in oil cost and the depreciating housing market of the US were two of the main causes that degenerate the trade.However, despite the new prediction, the organization

Once you've accepted the offer with your new employer and set the start date, obviously the next step is to let your current employer know you'll be leaving. Write a brief letter of resignation (the operative word there is "brief").If you feel a need out of loyalty or guilt to write anything more than a few short sentences, curb it. The only information your letter needs to contain are the following two (possibly three) items: that you are leaving your current company what your last date of employment will be, and if you feel comfortable adding a sentence or two about how you enjoyed working for your current company, and you appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of the organization, tack that on It should NOT include: why you are leaving where you are going

There is no doubt about it. It's a fact of modern life. Formal education can be very expensive and literally bury individuals and whole families under a mountain of debt. The bad news is, that even with the pricy education, your future may not be secure.Please don't misunderstand, I'm not suggesting that post secondary formal education isn't the way to go. It's extremely valuable for many. What I am suggesting is that it isn't the exclusive path to financial security and it's not something that everyone can obtain for a variety of reasons ranging from financial pressures to grades that don't quite measure up.Becoming successful in a selling career need not be expensive or even all that time consuming. You don't need the post secondary education. In fact you don't even require a high school diploma, although it helps. You de

As a job seeker, you’ve probably been told repeatedly to prepare some questions to ask at the end of your interview – but seldom got advice on what constitutes a good interview question. In brief, a good interview question is one that shows your knowledge of the field, and focuses on the company rather than on what you expect to get from your association with them. In other words, this is not the place to ask about salary and benefits. If you do your research on the company in advance, you’ll likely find some good subjects for questions. Some examples of questions you might ask include:I saw in the trade papers that the property boom is expected to continue. How much of my job will involve supporting solicitors involved in real estate law?How much of the firm’s efforts are put into charity work, and how can someone in my po

Nose hairs are out of control along with hair in the ears. Your Barber now seems to find a lot more places that need trimming than before. Things that never HURT in the past have suddenly taken on a life of it's own. New aches and pains arrive daily.
REACHABLE GOALS
Forget about joining the NFL. Olympics are out of the question. Don’t count on buying a 20-speed bicycle and climbing Mt. Mitchell or riding the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of North Carolina. Keep driving the church bus if you want to see the leaves "turn" and take the Senior citizens with you.
Dreams are great. Go to a NFL football game and you can see yourself on the field along with the other BIG guys. Sack the quarterback! Run for a long pass and take the ball into the end zone for a touchdown.
Face it! Your 200-lb. body (men) is out of shape. Maybe just a little bit! Anyway, all of us need to stay fit or "payday" is coming. Either we pay the price for fitness while it is still possible or we pay the consequences later. Our choice. No one is holding a gun to our head demanding action.
DECISIONS - decisions - DECISIONS
Big ones. Little ones. Everyday we are making decisions. Some are very important and can even be life threatening. Others make little difference over the long haul. Do you live by the rule - "don’t sweat the small stuff and believe that EVERYTHING is small stuff"? I like that one! Not a bad philosophy either.
Why is life such a challenge? You would not like it any other way. Sports (football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer) are all competitive. Players are challenged to win and thrive on the competition. Business is a challenge too. Trying to beat the odds and increasing profits every quarter.
In many parts of the world there are NO challenges. No jobs. No opportunities to earn a decent living. Poor conditions are rampant everywhere.
In American and other parts of the world there is prosperity and growth in the marketplace. Challenge brings out the best in us. Our competitive nature rises to higher levels. Our goal is to win. A win/win goal is even better.
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Owners are always faced with new challenges in the marketplace. New competitors are arriving daily. Some have lots of money and power. Profit margins are squeezed to the limit. Pricing of our product or service has peaked.
Expenses are out of control. Our cost for personnel is too much. Where can we make improvements? Cut expenses? Reduce staff? Always on our mind and our worry meter is running constantly.
Goals must be in place to move our business to the next level. Employees must be challenged or they will not grow and meet expectations. Benefit plans. Insurance coverage. Expenses paid.
