Should You Lose Your Accent?
I grew up in Rock Ferry Wirral and in the 70s my family witnessed a murder. Not long after that, I was diagnosed with speech problems, hyperactivity, and lack of coordination. I was from a working-class background. I was then sent to a hospital in about 1972 and placed in a restraint jacket. However, my mum and dad were entertainers, and because my education suffered, I decided to go back to college at the age of 19 years.

If you're thinking of starting a business, finding support for your project will be a high priority. You'll know that entering any commercial sector with a new enterprise, consultancy or partnership comes with challenges. You'll also know that branching out by yourself can be demanding. You'll be inspired, however, in the knowledge that many services provided by the self-employed and partnerships have great potential in the marketplace.
Siôn StedmanPublished 6 years ago in JournalThe Art of Caring
I am a teacher. I inspire and in turn am inspired by my students. I am 61-years-old and teach nursing at a state university. Why did I become a nurse (many years ago, you can do the math)? I wanted to make a difference. When I think back, I am not sure what difference I wanted to make, but after many years of bedside care, I knew I wanted something more. I went back to school for a Master’s degree. I had some “inspiring” instructors who taught me that nursing is much more than “doing.” Nursing is about caring.

OK so I just saw an article called "Six Things Your Boss Wants to Know About You." Yeah OK that's great, well here's what your boss doesn't care about. Your boss doesn't want to hear a long rant about your life. Now ask yourself why—because he has better things to do with his time than listen to how your child colored on the wall yesterday. Your boss is a busy person, don't waste his/her time going on rants or giving long stories. I'm quite sure your boss would appreciate a shortened version of whatever you're about to say.

The end of the semester is quickly approaching, and along with room check-outs, advanced class selection, and warm weather, comes the dreaded finals week. As students start racking up hours in the library and Hub, they are forced to cram course material while dreaming of days on the beach or lounging at home. One way to balance this nostalgia for a dreamier day while studying is the use of fantasy gaming soundtracks while reviewing. The best part of this technique? You don’t have to be a gamer to enjoy the music that accompanies gameplay, and it can improve your focus, motivation, and productivity.

Instagram: that little app that Facebook stole and changed the way millennials and businesses share content. With the platform growing at a vast rate due to the new implementation of shopping, stories, links and much more, it's becoming a very busy space like most mediums, thus making it difficult for you to get your message out there.

I know the answer to my question before I ask it. They know I'm going to ask it too, and they're prepared. They've already started moving the chairs around the classroom as if they were setting up for a Kindergarten business meeting.
