It's All About Attitude! Let us work on our ABC’s
Attitude and Behavior Challenge us to be our best self.
Merriam Webster defines attitude, behavior and challenge in the following way: Attitude
is a
settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something,
typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior. Behavior
is the way
in which one acts or conducts oneself, especially toward others. A Challenge is something that puts you to the test —
like standing up for oneself. |

Etiquette: Zoom meetings
As we turn to video conferencing more, there
are some ground rules and etiquette we should adhere to. Proper dress! Dress for the job you have, not the job you
want. Do not wear your pajamas. When you are participating on a Zoom platform, put on
professional-looking attire.
Stage your video area. Keep in mind that people do not just see you, they
are also seeing whatever the camera is pointed at behind you. Maybe arrange it
so that your camera is not facing towards a pile of unfolded laundry? |

Social Media:
Friend or Foe? I decided to search my name on the web and I was surprise about the
information that was out there. It is
giving me an opportunity to assess what I should keep in the public domain or
reserve some information for private/personal friends to see. Technology has created a means for people to
sit at home and be connected to millions of people with the click and send bottom. We can now share our feelings and frustrations
about family, friends, co-workers, relationships, and a night out with the
girls or guys, your imagination is the limit. |

You have served your time, learned
from your mistake and now you are trying to find a job. Yet, ever where you go you cannot find a job. At this point you are at a folk in the road. You have options, although you are not
feeling it right now. You can turn to
the right and keeping looking for a job, or you can turn to the left and make
some quick money that possibly might land you back in jail. Your decision is a measure of your
character. How you handle life challenges is a measure of how successful you will be. |
