Motherhood brings meaning to a woman’s life as it is a  7 days a week 24 hour job, a challenging lifetime occupation with no pay but in return full of overflowing consolation and rewards. Mind maturity and readiness to invest most of your time for your family is important in preparation to become a mother. A mom is the family’s ultimate caregiver who supports and promotes the physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth and stability of her child from infancy to adulthood.

Career experts say that competence and character are two equally important traits for a worker’s success in his vocation.  Competence is measurable while character is a bit abstract and the best way to know a person’s true character is to see how he responds in a crisis that is when problems arise true characters are revealed. Workers with questionable ethics will definitely get their career collapse in due time while the ones who live by high moral standards will flourish and can withstand difficulties. Character is simply defined as who we are when no-one is watching. Reliability and integrity in the working place whether or not the boss is around shows a person’s job disposition.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in every home as its main function is cooking and preparing food for the family.  It is also used for dining, food storage and entertaining. No matter how big or small the kitchen is, careful planning is essential before updating this space. Determining the style that would best fit for your family’s lifestyle should be considered, a look that will last the course of its time. Considering a classic modern kitchen design is mostly advised by kitchen designers. There are many options to choose from when creating a dream kitchen.

How to Shave Money off your Bills with a Prepaid Phone

Image
Although multimedia smartphones can make life far more convenient, they can come with a hefty price tag. Many major service providers sweeten the pot of signing up for an expensive contract by offering a free or reduced-price smartphone. You may benefit from receiving this gift up front, but then you are locked into a phone contract for two years. These contracts often offer an overabundance of minutes and texts, but then charge premium rates for services like international phone calls. One way around this is to consider purchasing a prepaid phone, or signing up for a pay as you go contract. This allows you to customize your phone usage and can save you a surprising amount of money. Doaway with Excess Minutes One of the supposed benefits of a monthly phone contract is that you receive a high number of mobile minutes to use, all included in your fee. The truth of the matter is, most of us don't even use all of our airtime each month. Many people now choose to communic

My son and his guitar, making beautiful music

Image
My youngest son’s summer music lessons have been a successful fulfillment in his desire to learn how to play the guitar. A recital after a month’s session has proven that his skill in taking on this musical instrument has dramatically improved, as he does not only learn how to strum the guitar but also can read notes and chords. Because he wants to learn more, he asked me and his dad’s permission if we will allow him to continue with his guitar lessons on a weekend basis as school year is about to begin by first week of June. Naturally, we said yes, we want him to hone his talent and skill in guitar playing but in one condition that he will also make good in his academic performance as well. Automatically, he answered it’s a deal so we enrolled him again for another set of guitar sessions and made arrangements with his weekend schedule. Earl’s Music Learning Center is the music school wherein my son, Yahmir took his summer guitar lessons. It is administrated by two young entreprene

5 Reasons why young promising executives fail

Image
Every year a lot of fresh young graduates exemplify amazing talents that could lead their lives to a bright future yet somehow some of these young capable executives squander golden opportunities and end up flying far below their potential. There is nothing sadder than to see a wasted talent.   Studies show that there are 5 major reasons why young promising executives fail. First and foremost is the ethical behavior. A propitious talent goes down over mistakes in indecent behavior. In pursuit of earning abrupt big money, a young talent engages in deceptive behavior like selling out to a competitor. This behavior shows poor ethics and non-loyalty  which definitely destroy a career. Reputation, respect, dignity and honor are the things in life we truly own.   A simple truth is that ethical issues can easily destroy these vital principles. Second. Some do not engage and cooperate with their team to work on a project as they like to work alone and do it their way. They resis

By personally redesigning and renovating the rooms in your house, you can turn your house into a home that you can proud of. The bathroom is a vital part of the house, thus the design choices that you make are vitally important. Before beginning any remodel or renovation project there are a few topics that you should consider. Do You Plan To Sell at Some Point?
