Why Are You Ranking: Best Reasons to Appreciate Big Business Listed From Lowly Laborer to Top Executive
People complain about the working conditions of employers like Walmart and Amazon. As if the work that they fulfill is drudgery where they are trudging through puddles of mud or carrying heavy sacks on their back over football field lengths. Complainers about the working areas of these corporations lament the fact that they have to clock in on Monday, get over the hump on Wednesday, and celebrate Friday as a means of degrading their labor but elevating the result of that work, their direct deposit. They’ll say that the staff are like Draconian rulers “coercing” them into performing task after task. But what is the truth? Are employees strapped to machines and whipped into producing more? Are they throttled and unable to break free of a signed contract that they made with a given corporation? The problem that persists is that most folks don’t realize that multi-billion dollar companies and small businesses alike have one firm rule in the United States: free will. A worker has every right to quit, retire, resign, or just walk away from a position. The same is true for people who like working at hugely successful companies and have the right to enjoy their labor, continue to work at a position, and advance up the ranks of a given industry. And every company has the right to downsize and “let go” workers to satisfy the bottom line. Those workers may grumble, complain, or far worse commit acts of violence or take their own lives. These are vicious cases and only in extreme situations do these acts occur. For the most part, people love and find enjoyment in going to work. Those who do not relish work find themselves in self-pity and in a position to bring down the spirits of those around them. But that is different with others. Their productiveness is evident with every action that they take during the course of their day (or night). While some will scoff at the fact that the people behind massive corporations reap gargantuan fiscal benefits, they drop the idea that the individuals at these companies have earned their money and should not be ridiculed for their virtues. So get your price guns and balance sheets for Why Are You Ranking: Best Reasons to Appreciate Big Business Listed From Lowly Laborer to Top Executive.

Cliffnotes Website
What I want to start is a website that will feature literature cliff notes and citations online from tons of different books including science fiction/fantasy and American literature all across the board, as well as eventually global literature. This website, which is currently fictional, would make sure that people to get paid for reading a book and writing a summary as a work from home sort of gig. We would have selections of books to read, and then write about, all in the category of literature only. A book would be available digitally as well, like Project Gutenberg has books on their website, since I would have to program a website that can highlight sections of the book for paper writing.

My Failed Company
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to own my own business. Something about being your own boss appealed to me and for the better part of a decade I tried to make that dream a reality. Unfortunately, I failed to make that dream come true—and I want to talk about it.

Best Way To Make A Passive Income
I am sure that you have read, or heard about, all of the get rich quick schemes that revolve around real estate. And, if you're anything like me, I wondered how I would even buy real estate with self-employment income and mediocre credit. It is possible and without jumping through hoops. Before you read on, however, I want you to know that this doesn't mean you are going to start raking in millions or even thousands tomorrow. This is a process that will take a lot of effort for six months or so. It will take some cash investment too. But for less than monthly rent, you could be on your way to financial freedom (depending on whether you are like me and have a champagne taste on a beer budget– you get the picture!)

Mt. Kisco Immigrants Make America Their Story
Most of us are familiar with the anxiety and excitement of reaching adulthood, packing up the car and setting our sights on a new city. Often including a safety tether to parental stability, the risk is clearly softened. But imagine the unknown when you are crossing continents and no two-way ticket to a friendly money stream exists. Most immigrants know the story, and it’s all the more impressive when they eventually turn the tenuous beginnings into a successful business. Mt. Kisco is home to two such stories.
