Seek Learning for Hobbies

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three to five minutes to read from start to finish.

I would like to inform you that this post would be focusing on hobbies. If you have hobbies, you can continue reading. If you don't think you have hobbies not even one hobby, you may continue reading this post.

What's your understanding of the word "hobby"? Do you have hobbies, well at least one hobby?
Have you ever taken a moment like for a few minutes to half an hour to think about what are your hobbies?
"A hobby is something you practice only when you feel like it."
Different people enjoy hobbies for different reasons. Just because something tests your patience doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. Perhaps one of the hobbies that you like doing, you may consider to turn into a paid job one day either in the near future or in the future. Hobbies are meant to be fun and enjoyable.

There are so many options for hobbies that you're sure to find one that isn't boring. Some people choose hobbies to help them to relax after a long day at work. Some people may choose to do hobbies on their day off from work. Some people enjoy hobbies that challenges them. Who doesn't like a challenge?

What are some examples of hobbies is there around the world that you can do? There is sewing, photography, singing, songwriting, getting the right pitch of singing, baking, drawing and many more.

One of my hobbies is photography and I hope to turn photography into a successful paid job one day. I still do singing as a hobby and I used to record and do song covers of a few popular songs when I was in my teens.

Sometimes other people around you admire your hobbies that they want to pay you to to use your talents and skills for them. If that is something that you're interested in, that's wonderful. I would like to do that with photography one day. However, if you don't feel comfortable providing a skill or product for someone, it's okay to say no and keep it as just something you enjoy in your free time.

Who's afraid of saying no? Saying no can take some confidence to say it at the right moment.

Stay Tuned until next time.

Seek Learning for Priorities

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately four to seven minutes to read from start to finish.

This post focuses on priorities. What are your priorities right now? Do you have a list of priorities that you would like to achieve for the next twenty-four hours? How about, do you have a list of priorities throughout this year? How about, do you have a list of priorities that you would like to achieve throughout the remaining of your life? Don't we all love having priorities in our lives?

Why do we have priorities in our lives even just a list of things to do?

I would like to share with you, my understanding of priorities. Each individual including you may have priorities because sometimes throughout our lives we focus on what matters the most more than other things that actually aren't and sometimes it's vice versa.

What type of priorities can an individual faces throughout his or her life? There is multiple types of priorities for an individual faces throughout his or her life. The examples of priorities is listed as the following; Getting a house in order each week, having a car well serviced and maintained often, being successful in all education, having a family, making time to spend some time with spouse and children, serving a mission before getting married, making friendships, going out with some friends in free time, etc.

You may get the idea. Preparing for things in advance can help you accomplish what you want to do. Prioritizing can help us to be organized.
"Focus on your priorities."
A priority that you may have the house in order each week. Each morning and each night, the dishes get washed. The floors get swept and mop on Wednesday and Saturday. Laundry gets done several times a week depending on how many clothes and items that needs to be washed. Vacuuming the carpet gets done either on Monday or Saturday. You will have clean dishes, clean floors, clean clothes to wear, and the carpet should be dust free.

There are some unfortunate woman around the world who aren't able to have children of their own. There are  multiple alternative options available for them.

Most Sundays, sometimes on Mondays; I always write down on a magnetic whiteboard of my plans and my husbands' including any upcoming birthdays for a relative, dinner meal plans on each day of the week. The magnetic whiteboard is attached to our fridge so that we will be able to have the chance to read the whiteboard each morning after we woke up for the day and each night before we go to sleep.

Seek Learning Towards Job Opportunities

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three to five minutes to read from start to finish.

I would like to inform you that this post is about jobs and job opportunities. If you are currently employed, you can continue reading. If you aren't currently employed, that's okay and you may decide to continue reading this post. 

Most individuals around the world are currently unemployed, self-employed, employed and retired. I don't have the statistics who's currently unemployed, self-employed, employed, and retired. I don't have approximate estimate either. There are many job opportunities around the world each day. 

When a job opportunity rises, the management team is constantly looking for and seeking what qualifies the best candidate or candidates suits best for their team. Some management team may look into considerations even the simple considerations. Considerations may be having months or even years worth of previous experience, having flexible availability to work, having the skills relating to the employment, etc. You may get the idea. 

Just remember don't ever give up and try your very best to not to feel discouraged whenever you don't hear anything, not even a word from the management team after applying for a job. You can always try and follow up either in person or via call about the position that you have applied for. It may prove the management team that you really care about the job.

Some management teams are are just seeking for a beginner to hire and willing to give chances for him or her to work for awhile. Hopefully one day eventually, that beginner may get a promotion at work and upskill their level in the industry. The management team can promote them into a management position or work in a different area of the workplace.
"The only way to do great work is to love
what you do" - Steve Jobs.
I remembered either on my twenty-first birthday or the next day when I got asked how I would feel to be a manager. I remembered how I felt, I accepted and I was working at that particular domino's store for almost twelve weeks and I got very excited. I was looking forward to having a new position. Sadly, the management got changed a week after and my hours dramatically dropped. 

I didn't thought that opportunity would come back again. I was employed at a different domino's. On my sixteenth day of being employed, the store manager messaged me to inform me that he has a new task for me. I was so eager to find out what it would be and I kept asking him questions. He didn't replied to my questions, but he mentioned to me that he wouldn't let me know about the new task until the next day at work. 

Could you imagine of restless sleep and getting roughly six hours sleep? All because you don't know whether that new job would be to work somewhere else or getting unexpected higher position promotion. Continue with the story. The next work day, I rocked up at work and I clocked in. I had many positive thoughts at the time because I know I won't be able fired. I didn't do anything wrong. 

The store manager approached to me, and he mentioned, I got a new position for you and you're a marketing manager. I was filled with joy and I honestly didn't see that opportunity come because I was ready to hear anything. He shared with me what the roles that I would have to fulfill as a marketing manager. I remembered when he mentioned that I can clock into work a few hours prior to my rostered shift and I can clock off work a few hours later than the rostered shift depending how busy it is. It was most definitely one way to get more hours to work during the week. It makes me so happy. I was able to be a marketing manager and a delivery driver at one store.

Seek Learning Towards Your Career

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately three to five minutes to read from start to finish.

I would like to inform you that this post is about career and back-up career. If you currently have a career now or at least in your mind, you can continue reading. If you currently don't have a career now or at least in your mind, you may decide to continue reading this post.

The word "career" may be a massive topic to talk about for some people and whereas other people may think the word "career" doesn't even make sense to them. There are so many career choices around the world. You can be a store manager, a flight attendant, a electrician, a business owner, a zoo keeper, a manager at a fast food restaurant, a school teacher, a receptionist, a photographer, etc. You may have got the idea, there is so many options out there. You can be whatever you want to be and the choice is yours to do for a career. It is absolutely okay to keep changing careers after a career that you have tried didn't work out well for you.

Most careers requires education, experience and responsibility. Mistakes do happen and some considerations may have to be considered wisely. Courses for careers can be expensive, be aware of costs and hidden costs behind each course before studying.
"Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy."
Are you seeking learning towards your career today? Would you be seeking learning towards your career tomorrow if not today?

Have you ever worked out what is the best options that you can do to make your career successful in short-term? Have you ever worked out what is the best options that you can do to make your career successful in long-term? Do you think that you already have whatever it takes to be successful?

Have you considered about taking short-term courses that has either extra or the same amount of learning that would be useful for your career? Why not asking any friends and family for some help of advice or suggestions to help you choose a career if you haven't worked it out yet.

If you haven't been successful in your career, don't ever give up. Keep trying, believe in yourself that you can do it, and always remember to advise yourself out there.

I know for myself, I haven't studied for awhile and last year, I decided to do a self-reliance course. The course is called, "Starting and Growing My Business." The course is FREE, it has temporal perspective and it also has spiritual perspective for each chapter of the book. The course has helped me to acknowledge ways of how to maintain a profitable business one day, separating personal funds and business funds, be persistent of keeping customers, etc.
