All things are created twice. First time in our minds and then in reality.   Stephen R. Covey explains this principle magnificently in his highly-acclaimed book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when he says that “We are more in need of a vision or destination and a compass and less in need of a road map.”

Successful entrepreneurs are leaders not managers.  They are the ones that have the dream: the vision.

Our level of productivity is not always consistent and sometimes no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to focus on the task at hand.  To make things worse, this thing usually happens when you need to be productive the most!

So you’ve got that interview that you’ve been waiting for. Now what?  

Firstly, you deserve a pat on the back for managing to make yourself stand out from most of the other job applicants with your covering letter and resume.  By now, your prospective employer would have already drawn a picture in his mind of what kind of person he or she thinks you are and is interested to get to know you better to assess whether you’re in fact the right candidate for the job.

Studying abroad can and should be a fun experience.  However International Students need to be aware of the possible dangers that they may encounter.

Although the U.S. is a safe country in general, students should do their research before they commence their studies and get to know the State that they’re going to be studying in while still at home.  This will enable you to grasp some initial knowledge about the environment that you will be studying in.  It also helps you settle down more quickly.  Most colleges and universities have special information packs that are designed specifically for International Students.  Request one and go through it thoroughly before you head for the U.S.

 

It was John Wanamaker that famously said a long time ago that “I know half of my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half."

There’s no doubt that the current economic downturn is one of the worst the country has ever seen.  And whatsmore nobody really knows when things will get better.   Could the current economy actually motivate business students to think harder and probe and question past business models and theories?

For many students, getting a job while at college or university is a necessity.
