Is COLLEGE worth it?

I bought this book because I am in college at the age of 46!  Is it worth it?  Yes, absolutely!  I raised my daughter as a single mom before I went to college.

If you are worried about debts going into college this is a book to tell you the statistics and realities of going to college with the remaining “amount to pay when you are finished.”

If debt is your only reason for not going to college, I think you should get more than one opinion about your decision.  This book will discuss the realities of debts, unemployment, and politically charged pseudo learning are the likely outcomes.

I was impressed with the knowledge I gained but do not agree with the authors points on many things discussed.  I believe that tin the 21st century it is important to have a Bachelor’s degree for the best future employment successes.  If you have anything less than that, expectations will be less than desirable.   © 2013 Jackie Paulson

All I ever wanted was a life less ordinary by Victoria Bernadine

If you have read the Amazon book reviews you already know the story is about a woman who is in her “mid-life” crisis age.  She is in a “funk” and decided to sell everything and go on a six month road trip with a travel companion named Zeke Powell.  It’s a fast reading book which I enjoyed reading in two short days.  Maybe it’s because I can sympathize with the character as I am in the mid-life crisis myself but not going to extremes as (Rose “Manny” Mankowski).  If you want a story which brings exciting adventures, and learning how to rediscover yourself this book will appeal to you.  © 2013 Jackie Paulson

This is a must read for anyone who wants to manage their time!

Part I- “It’s about time” is about getting real about where your time is spent.

Part II-“Systems” planning, interruptions, meetings, email, clutter.

Part III- “Habits”

Part IV- “This is the time”

There are worksheets to help you along your journey to manage your time.

1. I learned how to read faster by choosing a quiet place, be awake, committed to it
2. Read the Table of Contents
3. Read the fist paragraph, subheadings the last paragraph
4. Read with device to move your fingers along quicker down the page
5. Skip words that are common

You are the master of your time and not a victim of other people’s agenda.

Busyness keeps you away from being present in the moment.

This is a thought provoking book that needs to be soaked up like a sponge especially is you procrastinate.  The website gives free worksheets to print out too!  Let me know if you like it, I did.

	The Weight Loss Game: How to Lose and Win! Price: $2.99
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Land a New job opportunity, April 6, 2013   This review is from: The Weight Loss Game: How to Lose and Win! (Kindle Edition) Victoria Fleishman’s The Weight Loss Game: How to Lose and Win! If you need to change your perspective on how weight loss works for permanent change in your own life, this book is for you! The real secret to losing weight is by losing “fat.” I am in college and learning so much from reading another book called The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan and Fleishman’s book is much easier to understand and follow for losing weight. The author will discuss the ways you should live with healthy eating to lose the weight. It will be a struggle at first, but in the end if you are a serious person whom wants to take the weight off, then I believe what she writes will help you. © 2013 Jackie Paulson
