Life Lessons From Employment
Having a job can be a great way to gain some experiences about earning money and making a living on your own. It can also be a strong lesson that people learn about the path it takes to actually get a job. However, on the contrary to all of the benefits of employment, there are still lots of challenging aspects that require real efforts to overcome, in order to achieve the goals of living your life independently and earning your own money. Nothing can happen by magic, and nothing in life is easy. But when you dedicate your very best efforts to make something happen, you will definitely accomplish it regardless of how hard and challenging it can be.

Starting a Warehouse Management Career
Picking a career is quite hard in this day and age and people are generally unsure whether they’ll be able to find a decent job or not.

However, if you’re lucky enough to own a warehouse, your quest for the perfect job might be easier and quicker than you’ve ever imagined. Here are a few considerations about a career in warehouse managements you should take into account before opting for this solution.

Beginning with Digital Art
Get inspired by what various artists do by watching their techniques and delving into their digital art process on YouTube, but do not, I repeat, do not try to automatically put your level of expertise to theirs. This was a valuable lesson I had to learn when first getting into digital art. I placed my pedestal too high and expected too much from myself. While I’ve worked with watercolors, oil paints, different pastels and pencils, naturally, I assumed that digital painting was the next step to easy. I already knew so many things. That’s not how it goes. Digital art, like the other forms of art work, is its own setting and might be, in fact, one of the hardest things I ever tried.

My Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
As I get to work one afternoon, not long ago, I find myself traveling across town to deliver another pizza to an apartment complex. Before I left the store that day, it looks like the manager on duty would have told me what was going on with this particular order, but did not. I left the store with a zero amount on the customer's receipt. All the way to my destination, I was wondering why I had a zero amount for this order. Sometimes the store gets extremely busy and the delivery drivers can not handle the overload, so I was thinking this was probably the case. It was not.

How Fan Art Got Me My First Graphic Design Job
I was seventeen and obsessed with an Australian band known as The Griswolds. They were coming to town to perform, opening for Walk The Moon, and I was beyond stoked. I had been preparing for months, and by preparing I mean I had been drawing.

My First Published Book
Some time in early 2004, I'd say either February or March, I was supposed to do an advertising assignment for my fifth grade class. I was grouped up with two boys (I was the only girl in the group), and we all had a hard time coming up with ideas on what our "product" should be.

Ways People Accidentally Annihilate Their Careers
Most people can think of one or two people who have gone from being major names in their industry to becoming people infamous for failure. After all, it happens in Hollywood all the time - think Bill O'Reilly, Bill Cosby, or Sinead O'Connor for starters.

Start, Stop, Chill, Continue.
A man named Francesco Cirillo developed a time management method using a timer to divide work into periods of full-focus and periods of rest. Traditionally these are 25 and 5 minutes, respectively. Each sprint is called a Pomodoro. He used a tomato-shaped timer and named the method after it.

Life On Benefits
Now I can't speak for people in the USA but in the UK I can definitely agree that the benefit system is a hard one to deal with. If you're disabled or have children this will be different for you, but for the unemployed single person the benefits you are entitled to are slim, and it's not that much better if you are in a relationship.

Focus On the First Mountain
The path to success is sometimes tricky and filled with challenges. It can leave you wondering what you can do to quickly manifest the vision you are hoping to achieve. I have pondered this many times and with each major goal I set out to accomplish, I try to keep track of why certain steps are more effective than others.
