Before I Die

What I want to do before I die is an important goal to have. For myself, Climbing K2 and Everest are top on my list. I have climbed mountains but nothing as high as these two. Last summer I got a glimpse of the Himalayas when I was in Turkey. After doing the hardest job on the planet, door to door sales, I was pumped to do something even bigger. Whats bigger than climbing everest? The mountain that has claimed so many lives. I know I can do it and plan to do it before I am 50. I know I can do anything if I just put my mind to it.

World Cup up to Now

So what have we seen so far in this years world cup? We saw a shaky start for Spain, only to beat Chile and move on to the next round. We saw dominant Brazil, Argentina and Germany come out as the top talents for the win. I truly believe it will be one of those teams winning by the looks of it. Germant is my first, only due to their methodical playng style and calm and collected demeanor. Their defence is remarkable and the have awesome striking ability.

Underdogs to win could be cote d'ivoire. Im saying this because thier offensive power was shown in the previous round and during thier game today against Korea. COuld be an upset.

My question is what have countries learned from playing in the world cup? What did the prominent swiss learn? You have to score goals to make it to the next round. I seriously thought they were in it to the next round but a draw to Honduras stopeed both of thier tracks.

What will be seen in the next round? I look to watch Portugal play Spain.
The US vs Ghana will also be exciting, unfortunatly, Ghana will probably win it.

Do's and Dont's of Networking

Notes on networking and seeing as many people as possible! Seriously, there are some people who need to relax when it comes to meeting other people that already have jobs. Case in hand, Im talking to a friend of mine from a very prominent firm and we are having a good conversation. Out of nowhere someone sticks there hand between us and introduces themelves. I could tell immediatly that my friend was peeved as she said "excuse me we were just in the middle of a conversation." This is not how you get hired people. Anyway, this is just something that grinds my geers. People need to develop better communication skills and tactics or they will never get hired.

On a brighter note, the casino night was a huge success. All the large firms were there as well as some very interesting medium firms that had some very cheerfull representatives. Tough choice, but that will come in September.

Till then small updates will be posted with news and info. \
Cheers
