Blessings on Earth
I have a dream job to work from a home office and therefore, I work in my pajamas. It is a 180 degrees turn in my financial coffer. I have a good family, all my sisters hold high positions in their respective companies and are high income earners. They have been promoted a few times with salary increments and also get head hunted by other corporations. Give a man a fish; and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him a lifetime. We always apply this idiom and study hard to be where we are today.

My Boss
Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham
It's only a matter of time before my boss kicks the bucket. Gosh, that sounds absolutely horrible to say that he is 91 years old and I don't know why in the world he is still at this office every day as if he's not too old to work. I love the man to death, and he's like a grandfather to me, but he is really holding up progress around here. For example, the other day I was trying to explain to him why we needed some of the services from t1internet.net/ and we got all caught up in a conversation about what the website actually does. He barely understands the functionality of the computer much less the Internet so it really is an uphill battle trying to get him to invest in any new technology for the business. He seems to think that marketing isn't something we need to spend money on and that our reputation around town will get us through this economy but I know better and I really wish he would listen to my suggestions.
