    • Maybe he just wrote the name of Mr. Big Shot, because he thinks you will not verify if indeed he is recommending the applicant.

      That is why, when we are applying, we should see to it that we put a reference who knows you well because you were once in his employment. Besides, see to it that you have a good track of work records so the recommender will also give good reviews.

      Never just write a big shot, when the big shot doesn’t even know that you have written his name for reference. It’s discourteous to do that.

      • No, John Chance knew we would contact those he put in as references… I am sure he believed Mr. Big Shot would recommend him. We should check first… before we name anyone.

    • If you are a grown up, you have your own mind to make good decisions but most of us would rather go with what we are told. The thing is if the guy asked for a recommendation from the other guy, it’s obvious that he asked him if he would use him as his recommenderecommender, why then would someone write you such a bad recommendation letter? If you knew that the person was not qualified you should have told them from the beginning. But tarnishing the name of the candidate is not a good thing. That’s why it’s always good to ask questions before you get favors from people or even close friends .

    • There are times when we come across people who will be an influence of negative behavior and if we are not careful, we will probably be misled. You are responsible for your own actions, so when you involve yourself around negativity, then most likely,you will become negative. It important for us to determine that you should not blame others for your actions.

      Being misled is tricky. In some sense, you can be misled by being lied to. That is one reason why a person can be misled. It is wrong for someone to lie for personal gain. If you are a strong willed person with any kind of intelligence, you will not allow anyone or anything to become a negative influence. You should always push for positive influences. A person can also mislead themselves, another person does not have to be the one to mislead you.

    • Wow, reading on, I realized that you are a very gifted person for having those qualities or super powers as you call it.

      Indeed listening can be a power by itself. Even knowing when to be silent is a power also.

      Observing too is a super power. These 3 are what I should learn to have. I am not observant, maybe because I always hurry. I don’t even sometimes observe how a person is before I speak my mind. Now I know, I should be.

      Listening, I sometimes just blurt out without letting the other person finish what he is talking about , so much so that argument will ensue. This is true with my hubby and me.

      Thank you for making me realize I can have those super powers too. 🙂

    • One can write three hundred words but still it is concise. Short and sweet!

      • The interesting thing is that where a few years ago writing 1000 words was no problem, today, one becomes so concise that a topic is covered in 280 words, requiring one to go back and add.

      • Yes, one can write a 300 word article yet it already has taken all the important aspects.

        It is challenging to write more than 500 words. You must have the experience for your topic and very familiar with what you are writing for you to write that long.

        • In the old days people were in the verbose habit. They went around and around before making the point. Today it is very boring to read that kind of stuff.

    • If that is the case with Alexander the Great, I wonder really why he is called the Great.

      Though, for those who died and were declared heroes or great, they never knew they became one. Their greatness or heroism is always recognized once they are are dead.

      Sad, but this is always the case, and I think you will agree with me.

      In your 30 years of life , you were happily married, but Alexander died . What a contrasting life you and Alexander experienced. 🙂

      • Yes I agree with you. What is even sadder is Alexander’s is sort of a mystery. Have read different accounts and some say it a murder and others say it was a disease. And as if his death was not bad enough, what they did to his wife and child after he died was even more horrific. He sure wasn’t treated as if people thought he was great!

    Each and every individual would like to have a good name, fame and  image in the society and to achieve this especially when we are in business or […]

    • Actually, the best thing to do to be able to build your financial credibility is to live simply.

      By living simply, means you get to pay your bills on time , buy what you only need and be able to save some for your future or a big want like a car.

      Indeed, paying ahead of the deadline would create an image to the credit company that you are a good payor. Even without asking for an additional credit limit, they will keep calling you to avail of their low interest loan.

      Why should you take the loan on the first place, when you have no need for it.

      So, better yet, never entertain them, lest your debt will increase if you take them being enticed by the little interest.
