The Art of Being Wise Is the Art of Knowing What to Overlook
Life
•Jan 22, 2010 • 1 Comment
My life the past few months has been a actually emotional rollercoaster. With heart ache, wellness and fiscal problems it really made me sit and think about my life and what I actually desire to do with it.
Im 22, single, in a dead end job and still living with my mum. Apart from going to college and attempting academy I havnt actually done anything with my life. I take never had a girlie holiday abroad, or in this land for that affair, I have never been abroad full stop, I dont drive, I dont take any career goal, I take absolutly no idea what I desire to do with my life.
On the plus side I can say I have a chore, and so I am more than fortunate than the people who have suffered during the credit crisis, I have a roof over my head that is affordable and I do have a loving family unit. I get-go my uni course adjacent week and so am learning a new skill.
When we reach year nine at schoolhouse it is drummed into us that we demand to make up one's mind what it is we want to do in the future, I had my whole life planned out, the college courses the career goals my life in general, simply when I actually sat downwards and idea almost information technology, what I had planned was the last thing I wanted to do.
At present I am where I am it has fabricated my head reel with the blazon of things I would like to practise and I still cant decide. Does this mean I have no career equally at that place is nothing that grabs my attention plenty to recollect I could do that for the rest of my life, or is it merely I havnt plant that one thing that will drive me.
Jobs, Uni & Voluntry Work

Well the fun begins as I proceed to look for a new job, and to be honest im starting to think its more hassel than its worth.
Since when did applications become so hard with stupid specifications and really bad-mannered question which makes you uncertainty your ability to practise your task?
I observe it hard to sell myself at the all-time of times, as i dont like to experience like im boasting or fabricated to await similar im boasting self or even a know it all, I struggle to write personal specs and information technology can accept me a few days to complete ( luckily I work with Connexions so I have a lot of guidance and support), so questions similar demonstrate when you take used squad work completely blow my head. I have ever worked in a squad so it comes equally second nature merely to answer the question the way you recall they are looking for does my brain in!
Its not only the application process only the searching for jobs overall, with the current credit crisis jobs are really difficult to come by. At present there has been a lot of aggrestion towards young people who are leaving school and ending upward on the dole, the reason is simple I struggle to find work and im 21, so how on earth are immature people, with niggling qualifications and work experiance expected to get a job.
While applying for new jobs I take seriously been because going back to Academy (2nd time lucky). At first I was intending to do a customs regeneration degree, but at fear that something I love will go something I hate, which is what happened previously with childcare, I serisouly had to call up about information technology.
A friend recommended the Open University and OMG my head is spinning, non only is it cheaper, its easier as I wouldnt take to take fourth dimension off work or practice ridiculas hours as I tin can practice it in the comfort of my own home!
I have chosen to do an Introduction to Social Sciences and an Introduction to Councelling, these two courses actually caught my eye and open me up to many degrees. I am considering doing a Psycology Degree and also a Social Policy & Criminology Degree. Just hiccup is I will still be contesting to get a job in either fields, merely I will have the qualification under my belt and both are something im actually interested in. And then to say im excited is a fleck of an understatment.
In the meantime I am dedicating one hour a week to a voluntry organization and becoming a mentor, I will recieve a days training and continuous support. I had a mentor in the concluding year of senior school and she totally helped me, and then I am looking forwards to helping someone in need.
Lets Hear It For The Boys

Im quite annoyed i havnt wrote this blog sooner only due to my life beingness like a train crash lately its had to be put to one side.
On the 27th June it was Military Day, unfortunatly I didnt realise this until I went and sought shelter from the rain. I saw the veterans, TA and the Cadets march through the rain and it of a sudden made me feel very proud of our armed services.
People are protesting against our army being at war with Afgan, and yeah I wish they werent out there but no matter how much people protestation information technology isnt going to modify the fact that people are out there fighting for our land. Instead we should exist supporting them and showing them we are proud of what they are doing.
I take a mate out in Republic of iraq atm and I am petrified that something bad volition happen to him, merely among all of that I am 100% proud of him because information technology is not the easiest of jobs, just he is out there risking his life.
We practice not recognise the bravery of these soliders equally often every bit nosotros should, rather than news reports on stupid conspiracies on MJ'south expiry, there should be more reports on our soliders, people who are doing much more than making music, something that is and then trivial gets more than attending than something heroic, and it disgusts me.
Dorsum in the war young people were lying about their historic period to become into the armed forces because it was considered an honor, now most young people would encounter it as a huge effort to even consider it.
The Prejudices Of The Earth

Anybody is unlike, we already know this, its a fact we learn throughout our life. Whether information technology be race, pilus colour, abode life, interests, talents, etc. yet some of these differences are used against us either through ridicule or from being labelled.
Even though we try not to be, we are all prejudiced, even before we speak to the person we have already come up with our ain conclusions.
For Example: a young person, around the historic period of 16, wearing tracksuit bottoms, hoodie, cap and is smoking. automatically y'all assume they are problem. I hold my hands up to say that I think the same, and I work with young people. Why do nosotros do this? because through the media this is what is portrayed.
Peoples styles and interests have defined who they are, they are categorised, labelled to how others percieve them. Someone described as the immature person higher up would be categorised as a chav. Someone who likes rock music and doesnt apparel in the "normal" attire would be classed as a goth.
Can yous actually label someone without knowing them??? And is at that place a category for anybody?
I like modified cars, its one of my passions
I dear my trainers
I listen to trance/ happy hardcore
I also listen to cheesy pop & 80s
And Rock
Im virtually e'er in jeans or combats.
Similar to wear hoodies.
So what category would you put me into?
Through the labels people carry ridicule and mocking can get a problem, quite simply termed every bit bullying, prejudice is a grade of bullying, maybe not as direct as proper name calling and other corruption but in a subtle way.
Inspiration
•June 16, 2009 • Exit a Annotate
People often say people inspire them or events, but do they really?
To be inspired, my justification, is to get and do something because that some i/matter has encouraged you lot to.
For example this weblog, I was inspired to practise this through a friend who also does a blog, seeing him express his thoughts and justifications made me want to practise something similar, so I did (which is why yous are reading this now). With my current professional agenda, doing something I am passionate about, this was inspired by people who are currently in that role, seeing them in full swing made me want to practice the same. They inspired me to chase a new profession.
So from these examples you lot can come across that I was truly inspired every bit I really did something, but for those who dont are they actually inspired or is it just a word?
Proms

Prom season is coming up and im starting to wonder when nosotros suddenly became obsessed with them. Not only are secondary schools having them only they take now extended to Main Schools.
Just in all honesty are they an bodily prom (ie what you see in the movies) or just a regular disco thats over exagerated??
I had a prom when I left schoolhouse, the year before hadnt, the venue was at the Hilton Hotel, iii grade meal and a disco after, that to me is a prom, but going to the school hall is not.
Now my lil sister is leaving main school and they are having a "prom" (basically an exagerated disco) and I can totally see the signal in doing something special as they accept basically grown up together from plant nursery-yr 6 its a long time, simply to label information technology as a prom and spend stupid amounts of money?? I personally dont think its worth that.
