If I Could Be Two People

I would spend the day outside getting all my gardens ready for their winter's night and me#2 would spend the day inside doing a complete fall cleaning to set the house ready for winter. Then both of me would have a nice rest the next day from all that hard work.

Small Business Says Obama’s Jobs Plan Will Have ‘Immediate Impact’ On Hiring

This article correctly demonstrat­es what it means to be a small business employer. They are often in the million and less economic scale range. Not what the GOP means by small businesses­, they will call anything that has a huge price tag, a small business because it sounds better. If the GOP really cared about small businesses­, they would be addressing the fundamenta­l problem of our economy, the high unemployme­nt and the cessation of demand it causes. They would be engaging in stimulativ­e policies, instead of further entrenchin­g our economy in a stagnant cycle such as Japan has found itself stuck in for a long time.

“My message to the GOP, stop trying to put the financial onus onto the states to get projects done. The states cannot financially tackle infrastruc­ture projects such as the one President Obama is proposing, they are not allowed to engage in deficit spending, the federal government is which is why it is better equipped to facilitate projects that will benefit the states in the long run. Another point that I need to make over and over again, we are not broke. The GOP chooses to allow the tax cuts for the wealthy to fuel the deficit as is the case also with military spending. If we have enough money for that then we also have enough money to fix our decaying core. The GOP is building a house of cards on what used to be a good solid foundation of steel. It will eventually just topple over because there won’t be anything left to hold it together. We need to shore up the middle class now with policies aimed at restoring manufactur­ing in this country alongside with research and developmen­t.”

When is it okay to quit?

boundaries, postaday2011, relationships

It is always okay to quit a relationship, job or situation that is hurtful, stifling or simply not in your best interests. I think relationships are often the hardest to quit even if it is abusive or dysfunctional, because it takes courage and a sense of self to be able to realize that a relationship is not working for you in the safest of situations. So when one is feeling dejected and full of self-doubt, it is almost impossible and that is when it is more than okay to quit.

You can say the same for certain jobs where you are poorly paid, living from paycheck to paycheck, suffering under the yolk of a boss from hell, those are the times when you need to get quit and run for the hills.

I think that this question really refers to a person’s sense of self-respect, personal boundaries and an overall sense of self.
A very important question worthy of introspection for success in one’s life.
