By Marsha Maung It's not that I am a fantastic writer. In fact, sometimes, I think I am far from it and can't help feeling humbled whenever a good writeup is stumbled-upon. But if people asked me what keeps my blogging going, I would say one thing. Talking to people. And reading. That's two things but they are related. A writer who stops reading or talking to people will eventually end up with a dry well. How many things in your everyday life can you find to spark something off in your head? One? Three? And if you are lucky enough to find them, it is prudent to write them down. In most instances, it is hard to find topics to write about. Just ask any regular blogger or writer - is it easy? Nope. Is it fun? Sometimes, yes, sometimes...... Get into new topics Over time, bloggers change, their lifestyle changes or there is an upheaval at home (the blogger is, I assume, HUMAN) so, things change and they will find it difficult to continue writing in the same tone...

By Leo Solomon The job market is vast and rapidly changing. The important thing to remember is that job opportunities always exist, whatever the state of the economy. The key is finding out where they are. In this article we describe the five routes into the job market: the "visible" routes of advertisements, recruitment consultants and the Internet and the "hidden" routes of personal contacts and direct approaches.

There are several possible reasons: the decision to recruit might not have yet been made the need to recruit has not yet been identified the cost of advertising is too high recruitment can be carried out more quickly via the hidden market. Examine every option Whatever your experience or expertise, it is important to mount a balanced campaign using all approaches to the job market: advertisements, agencies and Internet as well as personal contacts and direct approaches. The amount of ti...

How to improve your college study skills! Learn from the expert about your college study skills now. By Rossana Robinson Effective college study skills are critical for college success. There is no one size fits all method of studying, but one thing that is likely true: the study habits you had in high school will probably be inadequate at the college level. Developing good college study skills from the beginning will start you off on the path toward success in your college years. Study the material before you go to class . This may not have been necessary in high school. But with the amount and depth of material covered in each class at the college level, you will be behind before class even starts if you do not take time to become acquainted with the material before you step into the classroom. You will be relieved, if not pleasantly surprised, at how much easier you will absorb the lecture in class when you have made the effort to familiarize yourself with the subje...

By Niels Teunis What you eat makes a spectacular difference in the way your brain functions. It is critical that you always remember this: Your brain is part of your body. What you put in your body you put in your brain. If you eat junk you feed your brain junk. Have you noticed that all around the country schools are rising up?

By Gian Fiero It's Monday morning. In any office, in any given city, you can find an ample amount of people who are suffering from that dreaded condition called "Monday Morning Blues." The exact origin of this condition is unclear. Does is it start the moment we open our eyes on Monday morning? Or does it slowly rise up as night falls on Sunday? More importantly, how do we cure it? This article will offer some solutions and tips on how to cure your Monday Morning Blues so that you can become a more productive and happier worker. 1. CHANGE YOUR MINDSET Professor Charles Areni conducted research lead by a team of psychologists from the University of Sydney who collected mood information from hundreds of people, asking them for their worst and best morning and evening of the week and had this to say about the Monday Morning Blues: "The Monday morning blues and 'Thank God it's Friday attitude' are largely inaccurate theories of how moods vary...

By Gian Fiero It was motivational speaker Zig Ziglar who said, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." Does the same still hold true today? More employers are reporting that college graduates are entering the workforce with an "attitude" of entitlement. They want the six figure salary, 4 weeks of vacation, and a corner office before they prove or accomplish anything. While it may seem like a preposterous notion to those who are descendants of a different culture, generation, or mindset, there are many people who have attitudes (not exclusively of entitlement) which do not engender good will. In fact, many of these, what I will call "counterproductive" attitudes, are based on a false sense of self-esteem. Self-esteem is defined as a confidence and satisfaction in oneself. The self-esteem is false when one confuses potential with credentials. If there are no credentials, we can not properly gage aptitude. But many colle...

By Gian Fiero I've always been intrigued by the subject of intelligence. As a child my mother would refer to me as "smart," but I quickly noticed that all parents refer to their children as smart. In time I would discover that all children are not smart, just as all babies are not cute. If that were the case, we'd have a world full of beautiful, smart people - which we don't. Some of us are smart; but not as smart as we think, and others are smarter than they seem, which makes me wonder, how do we define smart? What makes one person smarter than another? When do "street smarts" matter more than "book smarts"? Can you be both smart and stupid? Is being smart more of a direct influence of genetics, or one's environment? Then there are the issues of education, intelligence and wisdom. What does it mean to be highly educated? What's the difference between being highly educated and highly intelligent? Does being highly educated...

These days animated characters can be seen everywhere: advertising, movies, websites and even in corporate presentations. If you?ve seen any of Pixar?s 3D animation movies, like Up, Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo ? you?ll know that Pixar has created some of the best 3D animation in the world. This article outlines how the Pixar-like animation production process works. Cartoon Character Design Designing a cartoon character means not only sketching the look of the character but also figuring out all the character?s traits and personality. Various sketches are created in rough draft with the character?s personality in mind. It?s important to remember that good characters have clear attributes, are easily recognisable, likeable and unique. Storyboarding Storyboards are usually hand-drawn quick sketches, displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing the final animation. The storyboarding process was first developed at the Walt Disney Studio during the early 1930s. I...
