Is your job an indication of who you are as a person?
Agree with Eric I.You spend 40 to 100+ hours a week, 220+ working days per year doing anything and it will certainly train your egoic patterns. Especially if you are around the same people.You know, that chattery little voice in your head that talks at 600 to 800 words per minute repeating the same sentences over and over in your dominant language. Affecting your every decision and behavior and consequent outcome in your life. Scary stuff when you consider that you did not choose those people at the job.So if the content of that voice is formed extrinsically from your environment.....Who is the one listening to that voice in your head?This is the essential question behind every major religion on Earth.Tyler Durden makes a point in that Fight Club quote. You are arguably the one listening, not the ego chattering away. But unless you are actively training your ego with what you want it to say, your entire life of outcomes is likely to be just a product of what the random people in your environment "programmed" you to do with their words. What if you started to repeat, "It's OK to run red lights."? What will the eventual outcome be?Really scary stuff when you ask who has had access to your ears and eyes over the years.If they even knew what they were talking about, and if they had good intentions when they said it.IntrospectMeditate and separate your thoughts from what came from outside your head.Then align what you want from a job. Goals that may be the opposite, or the same, from what the chattering voice keeps repeating. Figure out where or who the voice or thought came from and decide if they had your best interests in mind when they said it. Then decide if you want that sentence or fragment repeating in your head and guiding your life outcomes.
What are the skills you should learn to survive a zombie apocalypse?
Some of the vital skills. Charm. Charisma. A winning personality. Being alone is a death sentence for humans. We are social beings and absolutely suck on our own. If you aren't good at making friends, you're a goner.flash those pearly whites! Fashion sense. This applies to any apocalypse. The poorly dressed are just cannon fodder. If you dress like you're homeless, you're expendable. Develop a cool style that looks great. Practicality is nice, but don't sacrifice a great look for comfort. Your signature look will sell you as a survivor, and impress other survivors. If you can keep your hair styling splendid , makeup intact, and fashion sense in gear, then people will assume you have your shit together, and that you should be their leader. The king of the wastes. no one wants this raggedy mess on their team...... everyone wants this dude on their team The ability to say goodbye. Seriously. You've got to let go. Yeah, sure, it was your dearly beloved mother and daughter 30 minutes ago. But they are zombies now. You've got to be able to pull that trigger and blow their reanimated heads right off their reanimated bodies. No tears. There is no crying in the apocalypse kid. You buck up, you pull out that machete, and you get to hacking.kill them. kill them with fire. The ability to do one luxurious skill very, very well. Let's face it. You might not be the top dog in your survival crew. Heck, you almost certainly won't. But if you've got one super awesome skill that the top dog adores, he/she will keep you safe. The rest of the crew might just be so much cannon fodder, but the Ayatollah of RocknRolla isn't going to send his favorite foot masseuse, or the last person alive who makes a perfect camp fire peach cobbler, or the person who coifs his mohawk just right into an unnecessary death.while everyone else is crawling in pig shit, this blind guy gets to hang out safe and sound in the sky tower playing saxophone for Tina Turner.So there you have it future zombie apocalypse survivor. Forget picking plants or filtering water through a sock. That stuff won't matter. You need to thrive. Take charge. Enjoy the end of the world. Not slink around the woods alone, trying to figure out what plant won't kill you before either starving to death or becoming zombie grizzly bear food.
How can you use metaphors to describe a person?
A metaphor expresses a similarity in a characteristic between two items. To use a metaphor to describe a person, you must first choose what descriptive characteristic of the person you wish to emphasize - to use in the metaphor.For example, is the characteristic strength? “John is as strong as a lion.” [A lion is universally regarded as a strong creature.]Is it wisdom? “Mary is as wise as King Solomon.” [King Solomon was renowned for his wisdom.]Is it a lack of personal hygiene? “Paul smells like a skunk.” [A skunk that has released its scent smells…well…smelly.]An excerpt from the Wikipedia article on “Metaphor” follows immediately below, and a link to the entire article follows that excerpt._________________________A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another for rhetorical effect.[1]It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas. Antithesis, hyperbole, metonymy and simile are all types of metaphor.[2]One of the most commonly cited examples of a metaphor in English literature is the "All the world's a stage" monologue from As You Like It:All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances ...—William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 2/7[3]This quotation expresses a metaphor because the world is not literally a stage. By asserting that the world is a stage, Shakespeare uses points of comparison between the world and a stage to convey an understanding about the mechanics of the world and the behavior of the people within it._________________________Metaphor - Wikipedia
What is the number one thing I should focus on when creating a personal brand?
Let’s talk about sex.When he was young, Franklin Veaux was shy and experienced an affinity for things the world told him were “not normal”.For example, monogamy did not resonate with him.Maybe he tried really really hard to "be normal" and found that he couldn't.He chose courage instead and increasingly ventured into the person that he was.This is not an incident but rather a process and it is hard because no one has a map or a blueprint for what is right for you. Along the way many people tell you that what you want will never work so for a while you doubt the viability of your dreams so much that you can't even put the darn things into words.All you know is “Nope. Not this. What works for everyone else doesn't work for me.”One day, his own life moved beyond him. What if he could apply all the things he learned, all his struggles, and redefine “normal”? What if he could educate people, remove the stigma associated with the many things that mattered to him, to make the road easier for others (and maybe harder for himself)?Franklin could have been a shy, anonymous man with a life full of secrets (and handcuffs and ropes and ties hiding under his clothes in the bottom of a dresser drawer) and is instead an open book, a sex educator who lends his voice to others and helps them identify what they are looking for.Things that would break your brain, like “I truly love my wife but love other women too and want to have sex with all of them and I’m OK with them having sex with others. What does this mean?”This is how you (accidentally or deliberately) build a personal brand.Who are you? What matters to you? What do you stand for?Before you know it another question will present itself.How can you put all of these things at the service of others?
