Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress like if you’re going to take a long school exam, you missed a deadline at work, or you’re about to meet your fiance’s parents. Sometimes, the anxiety may help in prompting you to do the necessary preparations so you can be ready for the I.T.

True enough, many job hunters heed this advice only to discover that it's not totally accurate. They find themselves unfulfilled, burned out, disappointed, or worse – more miserable than a jobless hippie.Now don't think we're trying to promote and glorify a bum's life!

However, no one can claim that he/she has a definite answer to this. Even behavioral experts admit that this is a subjective question and happiness is a subjective trait all of us continue to seek and build in our daily lives.

It is a part of our defense mechanism. Nature has ingrained upon us an intrinsic capability to defend ourselves from harm. But ego is more than protecting yourself from physical harm; it is a trait of human beings to project an image that they are better than anybody else -- that they are not going to allow themselves to be stepped on.

The obvious thing about growing up to middle age and senior years is that it shows its evidence on your physical appearance (unless you are one of the lucky few whose body cells are resistant to it). For many, this is something they fear about; butI.T.

Besides, your mouth will instinctually reject anything that tastes bitter. Nature has given your tongue a capacity to abhor bitterness, because oftentimes, something bitter is an indication that what you put into your mouth is poisonous.

Not that they do not exist anymore, it is just that they are so rare most employees see them as folks to be feared rather than admired and respected (note, there is a big difference between respect and fear).

Well, to me it is. Self-proclaimed online gurus advise the it does not matter if you do not get anything from blogging as long as you enjoy writing and sharing your thoughts. I resent that! If writing is all that you want, then might as well do it on a notebook or diary and then keep it inside the closet after you are done writing. No, that is not what I want!

In youth, you prepare yourself for adult life. So you go to school and study well with the hope that, by getting a diploma, you can get a good job and see yourself in a thriving career. When you get older, however, such things will be superseded by more aggravated concerns.

In the first place, he/she is the one who recruited you and got you onboard. Practically, he/she is also the one in charge to ensure your growth and development in the workplace. So why in the world would your boss eventually dislike you then?

I believe happiness is both conditional and decisional. Yet, basing your happiness solely on conditions and circumstances can be a sign that you have no control over yourself and that you are not the master of your own fate. You should decide to be happy, because that is the ideal. The thing is, due to human limitations and our naturally ingrained needs, our senses and emotions become dependentI.T.

It explained how both amateur and veteran writers were beginning to make money on their own, without the intervention of publishers.

Because they carry themselves lightly, they also bring this lightness to others whom they come in contact with – and this is a good thing. It is such a positive trait that almost all humans will never admit their insecurities. I find it ludicrous that even the most insecure people will deny that they are so, and theyI.T.

Yet, most lay Catholics and Christians have more attachment to the celebration of Christmas than any other festivity.

They are able to create worlds and realities other than our own. Although essays have their purpose among the readers of today, plots and characters are more challenging to develop.

Not that we hate the person per se, it is the act of being slothful itself that makes us cringe with contempt. Sloth or laziness is an attribute that makes people who are afflicted by it appear as uncaring and apathetic. They may deny it, but their action (or non-action rather) allows those who see them as practically selfish. The thing is, laziness is not an inherent I.T.

Yet now, you are not sure what will occur once you reach it.
Then, at a dull moment, you see a lonely bench. So you take a sit and rest. You ponder and recall all your past experiences. You realize nothing has changed. What you endure now, you have endured before - not greater and certainly not less.
