Your ResponsibilityWritten by Kenia Morales
Continued from page 1
People need to understand importance of their roles whether you are running a business or dealing with people in their lives. Yes, it was easiest thing at moment; but in end, this can easily break them off. So remember, when something seems wrong in your relationship to others always ask yourself; is this effect of what I have caused? How would I react if I were treated this way? How would I feel? Always avoid treating others poorly and remeber famous quote: “Treat others way you want to be treated”

| | Five Ways to Stand Out from the CrowdWritten by Terry Mitchell
Continued from page 1
When I began my career, I didn't make much, but I still always had some money to spare after paying my bills. If I couldn't afford something, I didn't buy it until I could afford it. There were even some things that I was able to afford but still didn't buy because I wanted to have some money left for unexpected expenses. I didn't buy my first car until I was more than a year into my first full-time job. This is a lot of freedom that comes with living below one's means. When everyone around you is struggling to make ends meet and you're not, you really stand out. The fifth way to stand out from crowd is to make decisions based on logic and reason instead of emotion and/or dogma. Too many people react emotionally to situations, rather than thinking them out rationally. For example, many people will get upset if someone calls them a name or flashes a particular gesture at them, even though there's no logical reason to get so agitated by such behavior. It doesn't make you a "blankety-blank" just because someone calls you one. However, many people react as if it does! Other people get caught in dogma trap. They make up their minds first and then look at facts and evidence later. Even when they do get around to facts, they will seek only those which seem to support their views while disregarding or explaining away those which seem to support a contrary view. You've met people who are staunch supporters of one particular political party or other, for example. To them, their party is always right and other is always wrong, even though common sense tells us that one particular side of any issue is never right all time. Reasonable people realize that truth usually lies somewhere between two extremes. Many times, I've come across "rah rah" partisan sites in web, which disregard dictates of common sense in favor of "fact" that their extreme side has cornered market on all truth. By using logic and reason to make your decisions in an open-minded fashion, you give yourself a major advantage over much of population. There are other ways to stand out from crowd, even though I've just highlighted five of them here. They include things like using proper grammar and spelling, volunteering for thankless jobs, and always being courteous. I'm sure you could think of many others. The point is that, if you want to stand out from crowd, there are ways within power of almost anyone to do so - if he or she is only willing.
