Everyone has a dream job that they want. I want to be a mechanical engineer, working at my very own company. We’re all allowed to dream, but the question is… When do I decide to take that dream and make it a reality. When do I take hold of those loose and chaotic reins and steer that mechanical horse in the direction that I want to go through. Action is necessary, but more than action it is the determination that you WILL find that dream job.
Having said that, once you have such a resolve that is beyond contestation, your next task at hand is to find that job you want so much:
- Take out a pen and paper.
- Determine which job you want. List every single aspect of it in profound detail (what salary, what work environment, what boss, what coworkers, what location, everything)
- Brainstorm a list of companies that offer that job with those details you just listed.
- Visit, in person, every single one of those companies with resume in hand.
- Ask if they, by any chance, have that job position opened, if they are hiring, and that you are the most appropriate man for the job.
- Some will say no. No matter, leave you resume anyway.
- Some will say yes, and give you an interview, or ask for a resume (good thing you brought it along huh?).
Now, you know what to do from here right? If not wait for my next post, where I will let you in on how to handle a job interview.

Well, this has been THE most complicated question I’ve had to answer for myself in the last year. How can you tell if a girl wants you as a friend or wants to be your girlfriend? It’s a good question my friend. Allow me to enlighten you.
When she wants to be your friend, one sure way of knowing it, is that she will tell you about her triumphs and defeats in love and war. She will in essence treat you like a confidante, and let you in on all of her dirty little secrets.
If she wants to be your girlfriend she will adopt a more secretive, more flirtsy sort of attitude towards you. Notice the play on words here. Flirtsy is the key word. If she’s just plain secretive and doesn’t let you in on anything, then she just plain doesn’t want anything to do with you, so move on.

Listen up boys and girls. Learn to value the female friends you manage to get. There are various reasons to do this:
- They’re your window to the female mind.
- They’re hot, and therefore raise your value in the eyes of other girls.
- Who doesn’t like hot female friends. You can’t go wrong
- Girls are usually better friends then guys, so they’ll be there for you.
I know you’ll be tempted to make them you girlfriends, but trust me, you’ll find much more value in a profound female friendship the on a one-night-stand or casual fling.

Even married people were once strangers. Therefore, without patience and the effort to understand one another, things are likely not to go well. We need patience in order to become happy.
There are many who dream about experiencing happiness without the patience. But that is a dream. And a dream is just that–a dream, a fairy tale. It is to wish for a childish, easy life. This illusion breaks up many marriages. The pursuit of such happiness can only make one miserable.
It is important to make the effort to calmly construct something together. From there, real love develops. Real marriage is when you have been married for twenty-five years and feel an even deeper love than you did when you first met. Love deepens. Love that does not is merely on the level of simple likes and dislikes.
