Have you ever asked family and friends to honestly describe you. I am sure that you will be surprised at their comments if they were honest. I have noticed that there are small small things that we do uncounsciously that are not pleasants to others. If you must grow all in all areas of your life , be it personal relationships or professional then one has evaluate oneself.
Who am I really after this evaluation-do I still see myself through my own eyes or do I define myself base on what close pals tells me about me. In as much as I want to define how I am, I must pay attention to how I come across to people.

Scientists said that today, January 31st is the worst day of the year.It was announced today that many in USA are depressed this day, January 23rd because of the holidays (christmas) over spending on gifts and other items. This is the day that people can no longer put off their payments from the holidays shopping. Isn't it funny how far people go to put all those gifts payments in their cards during christmas only to be depressed a month later. Is very easy to get caught in christmas spirit of giving and thereby buying stuff that one cannot ordinarly afford. Personally I always refuse to charge any payment to the cards during festive season because one can easily go overboard especially when you are presented with so much sales. If I do not have enough cash to immediately purchase the item, then I had to let that thing go.
Well this is the day of reckoning, continue to be depressed or get a 2nd job to pay up.
My simple advice is- Cut your coat according to your size because credit cards are not gifts but loans that has to be paid back with interests.

AS someone who has lived in both cold and hot weather seasons, I sometimes wonder which makes your skin tougher. I always go back and forth, because sometimes it feels like cold weather is the clear winner but when chicago summer comes with all her humidity, I wonder.
Russia is under such a terrible cold winter season this year. I was listening to NPR news where an elderly woman was describing her ordeals with this terrible season. People died because they couldn't keep warm and machines from ATM to water pipes are malfunctioning. I feel for them and I hope they stay safe and warm.

Hey, guys let's talk about Health because a Healthy person is a wealthy person in my opinion. I am motivated to become a Health professional because of the things I have seen living in NIgeria. Too many people die everyday from things like malaria, pheumonia and appendicitis. Some of these diseases are preventable by immunization and others like HIV can be prevented if people are properly equiped with the right health education they need. I have two children and both were born in two different countries. My daughter Christabel was born in Aba, Nigeria and my son, Harold was born in Chicago, USA. Different things happened to them when they were born. My girl got most of her immunizations late because the hospitals did not have them on time. A lot could have happened between the times. My son immediately got his shots and was given head to toe examination before he left the hospital. This examinations and results were mandatory and are reported to the government for statistical purposes. This examination allows early detection and treatment of any birth defects.
There is so much to be done all over the world to reduce the incidents of disease. Above all, be aware that a lot depends on you-Health Official.

I always lose sleep over job interviews regardless of how prepared I am. Just watching and listening to Judge Alito's job interview for the Supreme Court of USA gives me the cold. It is scarely and nerve racking watching him and I do not blame his wife for breaking down when she colud not take it any more. I wonder how he feels inside knowing that the whole country is watching him go through this job interview. This interview is even different because those interviewing him knows all about him and are likely to spring some surprise news. I can't imagine a prospective employeer knowing all that is to know about me. I guess this is the job for the brave at heart. The whole process has taught me that if you want to aim high, then, choose wisely because the things you say and do today might come back to bite you in the ... tomorrow.
