I'm gonna print out these bad ass advice and put them close to my desk somewhere so I can remind myself that the small adjustments makes your working life easier. And the best part about being efficent when you work is that you'll enjoy your free time more, even if you're going to end up damaged and think about work even on your spare time! If I'm going to SK I'd like to hook up, always been intrested in the korean life and business. | ||

I took a big gamble last year. I worked my ass off on a special project (this special project was on the side, and I was already working for them for 60 hours a week). I made a huge difference at my workplace (I was only there temporarily), and that ended up leading to an amazing job opportunity, since they wanted to keep me. Unfortunately, the location was not compatible with my plans for continuing my education in the long run. I turned it down because it wasn't what I wanted to do. It was the hardest decision I've ever made. And things aren't going too great for me at the moment. There are times that I regret declining that job offer, but I know that I would have been far more dissatisfied with myself for quitting my degree if I had taken that job. | ||

The little things help, and blogs like this always seem to get me into a better position because they tell me to do things i may have thought of, yet never got around to doing. Haveing someone such as MA, who has gone through much success and mental downfall, tell you whats up is a cool thing. It is also one of the reasons i come on TL, for gems like this. | ||

If the guy wants to get good at writing - absolutely go for it. But unique content is king and that "You should exercise, avoid debt, keep your desk clean etc. etc." is boring. Its a lot of peptalk and incoherent advice. Going to the Teamliquid H&F forum will net you way more information that you can explore yourself. Being positive is good though. Sure for most people being positive is good, but that isnt necessarily true for all. Some people actually strive off of being pessimistic, believe it or not. Personally in some situations I do indeed strive off the negative aspects of things. | ||

8. Always keep your personal finances in check. Don't over spend, don't miss your credit card payments, get a second job if you need to, or take a non-paying internship if it means you'll get a job with a future better salary, but whatever you do, keep your personal finances straight or else everything else won't seem to matter. Its funny that when you're personal finances are fucked up, you won't be able to focus on anything but that, then you're entire life is on pause. Get this fixed and never let it go out of hand. Sacrifice to make sure your credit is always good. I can relate so much to this. I thank my mother for teaching me the value of being financially intelligent. As she says: 1. Never spend more than you earn 2. Always make sure you have something for the rainy days 3. If its a need, buy it even if it's expensive, if it's a want, think twice before buying it even if it only costs a penny. | ||

Seriously you could attempt to make a counter argument instead of a 16 year old's response But even if it is bullshit there are literally no draw backs to exercising every day 30 mins a day unless you are doing it improperly and injuring yourself. 16 year old's response??? I find that insulting. This is really good advice all around and I'll keep reading it until I improve my life. | ||

I would like to repay the favor, to get you to feel better about yourself, and the only thing I can think of would be that "it gets better". We both know that that you already know that, but it is worth saying once in a while when things gets nasty. Kind of a mantra thing. But you know what, I think that will just have to do, for now. Refocus, one thing at a time, and you'll be back on track soon. I promise. Always be cheerful and look on the bright side. Thanks! | ||

Thanks a lot again I'm actually going to help contribute some in-depth on going reviews soon for TL ^^, so give me at least a week! Cheers! | ||
