How to choose a career
Career Choice – Choosing a career and sticking with it !


howtochooseacareer.com


Firstly, you must discover what are those standing and lasting values that make you who you are. What things interest you or what things make you want to stop as soon as you begin. Choosing a career is all about you, because if you don't know who you are as an individual, it's going to be extremely hard to convince your potential employer to entrust you with a job.
For some of us, we value our families and the ability to schedule work around life or for some it may be the need to work around certain types of people, rather than others. Whatever those values and ideals fit you, you must be comfortable with yourself and willing to try new things!

Secondly, you must figure out what you are good at and what brings out the best of your abilities. Obviously, if you are great at painting artwork, but really can't stand working outside in the scorching heat, then you probably don't want to apply for a job as a car mechanic. There are many ways to figure out what you are good at, simply just by asking yourself what are your likes and dislikes, your expectations for your dream career, and what steps you would have to take to get there.
Whenever someone comes up to me and complains about their job and how they dislike it so much, I always ask why you are still doing it. Work in a field that fits your mold and who you are, not based on pay or some other factor.

Thirdly and most importantly, do something you love! Never get lured into doing a job that makes you grumpy and angry at the world. There are too many career positions out there waiting for someone with your talents to come aboard.
Happiness in career and life to me is one of the most vital issues we should all cherish as human beings. Being happy is not only good for those who spend the most time with you, such as your spouse, kids, or friends, it's also good for your health, happiness, and well-being. Like I said before, a great career is not just for the rich and famous, it's for all of us.
Some of us have wealthy parents and can just inherit money or work for them, while others have to work their hardest to earn a decent living. But whatever the case may be, your dreams and goals can come true in life, no matter your age, race, or any other factor. Just remember to set goals, aim high, and never give up! You have to be willing to be an innovator and a visionist in your quest to find that dream career. In the words of Robert Byrne, “The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”

2) They are incrediby curious and eager to learn - they study, ask question,want to learn everything about everything.
3) They network - they know lots of people and different kind of people, they value relationship.
4) They work on themselves and never quit - work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, they learn from mistakes.
5) They are extraordinarily creative - they see new combinations, new opportunities where others see problems or limitations.
6) They are self-reliant and take responsability - they don't worry about blame, they make decisions and move on.
7) They keep their perspective - they rarely panic or make decision on impulse.
8) They live in the present moment - they get full advantage of each day.

Consider the idea to improve a foreign language. Shall we?

When we decide to learn a second language one of the most important thing that helps us to achieve our goal is to keep in our brain, the contents that we’ve learned. It’s important to study, to do researches and build knowledge, step by step, day after day, but it would be useless if we could not retain it our mind. There are some tips on this subject by Timothy Romano in his book “Secrets to Improve Memories” . Some are below and I hope you enjoy. See you soon.
“Tip #1: Reduce StressStress is one of the greatest enemies of the mind, and increasingly more common, the health of the entire body. Stress can cause heart attacks, strokes, and the long-term degradation of one’s health. Specifically, it kills your brain’s cells, and has a negative effect on the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is responsible for recording and storing long and short-term memories. There are many ways to do this, but one of the techniques I’ve found to be most effective is meditation. Meditation is effective in calming your nerves, finding your inner quiet and peace, and producing a deep state of relaxation. It’s easy to learn some basic techniques, and these will go a long way in helping reduce your overall stress levels, thereby improving the power of your mind.
Tip #2: Exercise Your BrainIf you were planning on running a marathon next summer, would you train your body to increase its performance and improve your chances for success? Of course you would! You’d specifically train your body to target the muscles and organs necessary for successfully completing a 26 mile run. Well, your brain is no different than the rest of your body. If you require increased performance and reliability from your brain, you have to continually use it and train it in ways that you don’t normally use it. Try things like brushing your teeth or writing with your non-dominant hand. Learn a foreign language or a musical instrument. Read about or study a new area of interest that you have little knowledge of.
Tip #3: Listen and Actively EngageAny time you are performing a task, speaking to someone, meeting someone for the first time, etc., make it a point to block out all other distractions and pay attention. Try to pay close attention to detail in all aspects of your life and you will see that it becomes second nature, and pretty soon you won’t even have to try. When you are meeting that new person, engage him and repeat his name back while you are being introduced. This will help reinforce the name into your brain for future recall. Be more engaged in all of your conversations and make an effort to listen more attentively and you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll be able to remember later.By putting this information to improve your memory into use, you will soon see that your brain is sharper, and you will be recalling important information.
