		<description>Online Degree&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the many great things about earning online degrees is that you can do the work from the comfort of your own home. This means that you don’t have to be in class at a certain time, disrupting your home or work schedule. Instead, you can do homework or take tests whenever you have the time during the day. That could be early in the morning, late at night or somewhere in between-whatever is optimal for you and your lifestyle………….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Excellent Opportunity to Study&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Creativity is a blessing from nature but we can develop it by careful planning through education. This is all the more important in a country like USA where we accept even the mediocre to contribute their best and create something new.&lt;br&gt;Hence, it is necessary that parents and teachers provide healthy conditions at home and the school. This would enable children to express themselves and contribute something new for the society, which may be termed as creativity……….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Excellent Opportunity to Study&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Original knowledge, once uncovered, is the clear awareness of your controlling desires and the content of your dominant aspirations.

		<description>Excellent Opportunity to Study&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thoughts that arise from the blending of original self-knowledge and other forms of consequent experiential knowledge provide the motives to take action to realize them in external tangible form. This is why the best of human thinking begins and ends with how to manifest one’s uniqueness in the world. When you realize the beautiful vision of your heart, of your true Self, you will rise to manifest the greatness of your dominant thoughts in all of your actions……….&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.sangambayard-c-m.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>#20: Apolinaras &quot;Apollo&quot; Sinkevicius:

This quote is unbelievably accurate:

&quot;That all said, in good economy you are hired on your previous titles, in bad economy you better dust off your value proposition and your passion. Otherwise you will just blend in with a crowd of wannabes.&quot;

I dropped my single client at the end of October last year... with full knowledge of a possible full-blown depression looming.  The quote above is exactly *why* and now I know how to say it.</description>

		<description>Some good food for thought. For someone in my craft (I lead business operations, a la Dir of Ops, for more mature startups), it is very important to develop a very clear value add mission statement. 99% of the founders will say they are doing great job running their operations while probably 75% are breaking some kind of laws, missing resource saving opportunities, missing deadlines, and are driving their employees and customers nuts. Someone needs to bring in the backbone for the organization and that is what people in my craft do. There are plenty of office managers, IT managers, and others who claim to be ops experts, most have no idea what the work entails and create bad vibe about the craft.
That all said, in good economy you are hired on your previous titles, in bad economy you better dust off your value proposition and your passion. Otherwise you will just blend in with a crowd of wannabes.

		<description>I like that you encourage us to take a moment to reflect on our career mission, but why not expand the scope of reflection to what is our life mission.  Why not elevate this to a more personal level?  After all Social Media is about connecting with people on a human level.   

I feel sometimes we overly focus on our careers.  We tend to excessively associate our identity with our line of work. But what are we really passionate about?  How can we make a living doing what we love?  What life dreams do we aspire for?  Mine is to sail around the world.  How can we find balance in our life, between developing our career, pursuing our dreams, and satisfying our personal responsibilities to family and friends?  For me this is an ongoing struggle, but everyday I strive for this goal.  What is your live mission - this is what we should pause to discover. 

I would like to close with an excerpt that is particularly meaningful in our current economic climate: 
....What does a man need - really need?  A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment.  That&#039;s all - in the material sense.  And we know it.  But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade. 
The years thunder by.  The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience.  Before we know it the tomb is sealed. 

Where, then, lies the answer?  In choice.  Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? 

In Passing ~ Sterling Hayden (1916 - 1986)

Happy New Year.  I hope we all find our passion.</description>

How can we make a living doing what we love?  What life dreams do we aspire for?  Mine is to sail around the world.  How can we find balance in our life, between developing our career, pursuing our dreams, and satisfying our personal responsibilities to family and friends?  For me this is an ongoing struggle, but everyday I strive for this goal.  What is your live mission &#8211; this is what we should pause to discover. </p>
<p>I would like to close with an excerpt that is particularly meaningful in our current economic climate:<br />
&#8230;.What does a man need &#8211; really need?  A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in &#8211; and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment.  That&#8217;s all &#8211; in the material sense.  And we know it.  But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade.<br />
The years thunder by.  The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience.  Before we know it the tomb is sealed. </p>
<p>Where, then, lies the answer?  In choice.  Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? </p>
<p>In Passing ~ Sterling Hayden (1916 &#8211; 1986)</p>
<p>Happy New Year.  I hope we all find our passion.</p>

		<description>I enjoyed this post, Jeremiah. I&#039;ve been thinking about my mission too, but I find it harder to nail myself down to one thing as a freelancer who juggles various kinds of work: journalism, seo copywriting and translation. 

I guess my mission is to help Swedish companies communicate more effectively with their English-language business communications.

All the very best for the coming year.

		<description>Jerimiah, 

Can you as the president of your organization decide to partner with us? As a would-be Business Analyst, I&#039;d like to be friends with you. If you&#039;re not interested in friending with a 20 something kid, you may want to consider becoming my mentor. Care to read my CV and CL? :) @anhhung on Twitter</description>
