A job interview is a two way process, and as such you will want to ask questions about what the position will entail, your responsibilities should you acquire the post, and what benefits there are. Some interviewees shy away from asking relevant questions, fearing asking the wrong ones will affect the likelihood of them being hired. However, it’s possible to tailor questions to give you all the essential information you need, plus impress the interviewer at the same time.

TurboBoost: Inside Fastlane Economics
In: Miscellaneous
6 Mar 2011
The first economists were ancient Greek and Indian philosophers, among them Aristotle (382-322 BC)—who discussed the “art” of wealth acquisition and questioned whether property should best be owned privately or by government acting on behalf of the people. Little of real substance was added to the discussion during the next two thousand years.
The 18th century brought a virtual explosion of economic thinking. “Classical” economic philosophers such as Adam Smith (1723–1790), Thomas Robert Malthus (1766–1834), and David Ricardo (1772–1823) introduced basic concepts such as supply and demand, division of labor, and the balance of international trade. As happens in so many disciplines, early practitioners were presented with plenty of uncharted territory and proceeded to formulate general maps of their subject that future experts would labor to refine in ever more trivial ways.

10 Things Successful People Do Differently
In: Miscellaneous
5 Mar 2011
Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do.

“The ship hasn’t sailed, it’s docked safely in port waiting for the green light. It’s green. ”
This part of life is interesting, the moment(s) between school and the ‘working life’. With or without a proper education. This is my moment for a change. A once in a lifetime opportunity to go for change or go with the old. A decision that defines me and my future. Goals are being set every single day, moments are outlived and the will and power to change and look for (better) opportunities has risen more than the years before. It’s time to act upon the will to make a change and therefore in my case and opinion to be different (in both private and business). Don’t go where the flow takes you, I’ll lead the flow in its rightful direction. In this case I quit school (actually University, though self-acclaimed) because of the lack of motivation (from the school and within me).
