If you had your favorite meal prepared and sitting right in front of you I’ll bet anything less than the house burning down wouldn’t stop you from eating it. Even then you might steal at least a few bites as you dashed out the door. The challenge we all face with food is simply abundance. There is too much of it around and it’s too damn tasty to avoid eating. Dividing food up into categories like fats and carbs, and timing meals and all of that stuff is all just a way to get us to eat less of it. But none of those diet tricks ever address the biggest and most influential factor that affects the way we eat, and that factor is: other people. You and I both have people in our lives that tend to eat less than us and others that tend to eat more than us. Depending on which one you happen to hang around with you may end up eating more or less. There is a very strong social link to eating. In fact I cannot think of any social gathering that doesn’t involve food or drink. We truly do celebrate company with food. So how do you continue living a fun social life without being the person who always has to say ‘no I’m only having a salad’ when all the food comes out? As far I can tell it seems easier to go with the flow than try to push against it. Read more...

One problem that almost every college student faces when they graduate is where to find their first job. Jobs for college grads are few and far between, as most companies prefer to employ workers who have had experience in a particular field or have higher qualifications than a basic degree. The jobs that are left are either not satisfactory to most college grads, or highly contested. With the aid of a good company mentoring program, however, college grads will be much better able to secure a good job after they graduate from college.
One of the reasons why so many fresh college grads are unable to find good jobs for college grads is that they lack direction. This is something that most college students fail to find while they are still in college. Direction in this sense means knowing what sort of career path they desire and the industry they wish to work in. Most students go through their entire college lives without finding out exactly what it is that they wish to do. Read more...
