- Lost Your Job? Surviving Redundancy
[News-and-Society] Losing your job is never easy because it is not only your way of making a living you have lost, but also your colleagues and your lifestyle. The current economic climate makes it even harder. Britain is at "serious risk" of entering a decade-long recession similar to that experienced by Japan in the 1990s, the outgoing deputy governor of the Bank of England, Sir John Gieve, has warned the nation recently.
- You Never Had It So Bad - Women Are Losing Jobs Faster Than Men
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] British ministers fear employers will cut female personnel much more readily than male workers as the downturn accelerates. Ministers have expressed concern that women will be targeted by employers seeking to avoid the costs of new policies, such as flexible working rights and longer maternity leave. Ministers also fear some of those being laid off are victims of discrimination and could be out of the workforce for a generation.
- If I Am Too Old to Work, Then Teach Me to Start My Own Business
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] In the past 20 or 30 years, western companies have benefited from the two big labour market trends: globalization, which has allowed them to take advantage of cheaper labour costs in other countries, and rapid technological progress, which has allowed them to replace humans with machines. Corporate profits have soared but human casualties have been heavy.
- Reality Checked
[Self-Improvement:Personal-Growth] Do your rumpled clothes and lank hair point to a life that has failed to live up to your high expectations? Do you think that the compromises you have made in your career have filled your life with soullessness, and hopeless emptiness? Do you feel that whatever dreams you had in your life are now only self-destructive delusions which are choking on you? Would you say that you are on the brink of suffocating your unfulfilled hopes of early retirement and easy life?
- The Tipping Point - When Does Enough Mean Enough?
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] How frustrated do you have to be before you consider working for yourself? Only you know the answer to that question. Perhaps the pain of where you are at the moment, and the agonizing truth that doing nothing changes nothing, forces you to at least look at the surrounding world differently.
- You Have a Great Future If You Can Live Past Next Week
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] If you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off and begin again the work of remaking your career, you might notice your immense talent. You simply abandon the idea of being a relic of a bygone era. Contrary to logic and even common sense, a sluggish economy is full of opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs who are interested in looking for them. The trick is to get started. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" Dr Wayne Dyer reminds us.
- In the Land of the Blind, The One-eyed Man is King
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] Year 2009 is certainly a year that a lot of people will be made redundant and a lot of companies will go bankrupt. Regardless of the somber circumstances, there are those brave ones who will say: "I have to start with what I have and where I am, because otherwise I might not get going at all."
- It is Never Too Late to Become What You Might Have Been
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] Starting a business is a way out of being unemployed. If you think that you have failed miserably in life, let the past be a lesson of what not to do and move on. You simply cannot change it. Regretting what you might have done, or might not have done, will not change anything. Your past is over and you are facing the here and now. Make the most of it before it is gone.
- 2009 is the Year of the Accidental Small Business Owner
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] Are the laid-off workers becoming entrepreneurs? Are they going to be the new trend of starting their own businesses because they cannot see themselves finding employment in the near future? It is certainly interesting to find out what kind of businesses those with means will start? Are they going to be low-overhead businesses because finding a job which will match with their expertise and salary expectations might not be an easy option?
- Start Means Start and Never Stop
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] "Start" means begin your life as an entrepreneur, get going, and keep going. It does not mean look around, take a time out, ask someone if you are doing something right, and then stop. You do not stop and ask yourself the following question: "Am I sure I am on the right track?"
- Stick to Your Guns - You Are the Boss of Your Company!
[Business:Entrepreneurialism] If you are starting a business, it is not a bad idea to seek advice. Just remember, no one knows you like you know yourself. The advisers are not in your shoes. Remember the saying: "Before you criticize me, walk a mile in my shoes." Stick to your vision as an entrepreneur and follow your instincts and hunches.

- How To Rebel Against Infedelity Without Becoming A Sanctimonious Prig Or A Moralist
[Relationships:Affairs] I find it hard to speak about my husband's infidelity. As if I am somehow responsible of his wrong doings. Also I do feel that the moment I knew about it, my marriage was destroyed. Obviously I felt exceedingly sad when he passed away but after his death, a Pandora's box was opened wide to reveal a can of worms. I felt so angry that he did not have the courage to face me and tell me the truth. He died on me and probably thought that I would not find out.
