1. Make Career Planning an Annual Event Many of us have physicals, visit the eye doctor and dentist, and do a myriad of other things on an annual basis, so why not career planning? Find a day or weekend once a year -- more often if you feel the need or if you're planning a major career change -- and schedule a retreat for yourself. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your career -- what you really want out of your career, out of your life. By…

Question # 1 The political climate in England during the 1760s was one of desperation and uncertainty. Desperate because when the French and Indian War ended, England was in debt. Their national debt almost doubled from £75 million in 1754 to £133 million in 1763 and they needed to pay off some of that debt (Tax History, 2016, p.2). The capital had been borrowed from both British and Dutch banks. Parliament was hard pressed how they were going to raise the funds to cover the cost of the seven…

One of the honoured accomplishments of my life was earning my undergraduate degree, in spite of the struggles I faced during my early adulthood. My future seemed to point in the opposite direction of success due to the financial problems that my parents faced in sending me and my four siblings to school.

I look down at the black book in my hands, or rather what’s left of it. The spine of the book had long since disintegrated, facing the weight of my travels. The pages ripped and crumpled, all held together by two stitches of frayed thread. But no matter. I have read this story a legion of times. I have travelled near and far, spreading the book thief’s words. I have told the book so many times that I could never forget. Now, you may have been wondering throughout all my narrations how I, Death,…

I floundered to locate the right key through my obscured vision, smashed the door open, hurried upstairs to my room flinging my bag down and shutting the door with a boisterous bang. In the silence of my room I could not hear my fellow students snickers, their taunting, their shrieks, giggles and clamour. I took…

This Dark, evil place will be her grave. At least, that’s what they said. The Mysterious Man, however, has told the captured woman differently. He promised a freedom with one simple task. All she must do is defeat the three champions; Agor, Bheithir, and the worst one, death himself. The near pitch black cell was torture. It was of the purest stone, forged by the giants themselves. There was only one crack, one tiny spot where light could seep through. One tiny spot where she may get water…

Take a step back in time, and picture young children, no older than 10 working in the dangerous smoke filled mines, their lungs being filled with the thick horrid fumes, or a little girl working a big sewing machine, one that with any tiny mistake could leave her hand scared, and maybe even broken. Children in tattered clothes, working jobs that even adults would find wearisome. Working long hours, every day for mere pennies. Today it would be hard to believe that this could ever have occurred,…
