Casual Articles - Back to College - Remember to Prep for Class or Stay Quiet!
In the 30-plus years I spent working in advertising and marketing, one of the most frequently asked questions I got from retailers was “how can I make sure I have successful sale?” While there are no hard and fast answers to this question, there are some guidelines you can follow to maximize your chances of that sale being successful.First, if your store is in an area with fairly frequent rains (or sn
1. If you have prepared, yes, please do ask a question, if you need a point clarified. Jump right in there
2. If you do ask a question, DO NOT, under any circumstance, begin by saying, "This is probably as stupid question."
Be bold, it earns you more respect. Why leave off the "stupid question" disclaimer? Because it's weak, and makes you look like you don't have confidence in yourself. You know, we teach people how to treat us. We do this by how we treat them, and ourselves. This includes how we talk about ourselves. Saying we have a stupid question really undermines our own cre
Any new business requires a calculative plan. Your plan should include where to set up the venture, where to put the money and how much money is to be put. The plans get clogged only when you do not have enough money to go by your will. So, the option remains then is a dependable business loan and there is at least one for this purpose. It is business start up loan which serves any need which may come up whil
THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS STUPID QUESTIONS
In one of my college success books, "College Success Your Way: What Your Professors Won't Tell You and Friends Don't Know," I devote an entire chapter to pet peeves that drive your professors up a wall. Having been an Assistant Professor at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO, I can assure you that as unpleasant as it may be to hear, teachers are just being kind when they say there are no stupid questions. Smart college students know better.
You've seen this happen. You're in class, a student who usually not only sleeps but also snores through most of the period, raises his hand and begins, "This is probably a stupid question." For some reason, the teacher answers, "Now, there are no stupid questions." And sure enough, here it comes, the most ridiculous question you've heard all year. If you're thinking there are such things as stupid questions, you're right. Only to soften the blow, let's call them ill-advised questions, shall we?
Let's go over some questions you don't want to be caught dead asking. Right off the bat, let me say that anytime you do not read the assignment for the day, you may not ask questions. Not trying to be a control freak here, just looking out for your best interest. Why not ask if you haven't read? Quite simply, you can end up really looking silly if the question is already answered in the text. It's a big, black mark against you. It makes you look not only ill-prepared, but lazy.
Your teacher is thinking you didn't do your part, now you want to use class time for something you should have done yourself. Bad idea. Also, if you have one of those teachers who like to rub it in when it's obvious that a student hasn't prepared, you may be in for some serious teasing throughout the term. You can also forget getting others to be your partner on a group project. Once others know you don't do your work, they won't want to let you ride on their coattails. And obviously, no body wants someone in a study group who won't carry his own weight, either.
See? Some questions are best left unasked. Now that I've got some of you sufficiently paranoid, two important points:
1. If you have prepared, yes, please do ask a question, if you need a point clarified. Jump right in there
2. If you do ask a question, DO NOT, under any circumstance, begin by saying, "This is probably as stupid question."

Buying a home is euphoric and scary. On one hand, you are moving into a property you own. On the other, you are committing to the repayment of a lot of money.How to Avoid Buyer’s RemorseBuying a property can throw your emotions all over the place.

It's becoming a necessity to plan for the possible -- and expensive -- costs of needing long term care, whether it's in your home or at a facility. Long term care insurance is one of the best ways to protect your assets from these costs, but paying for the premium may seem daunting. Many seniors are now turning to reverse mortgages to give them the extra income.With a reverse mortgage, you can turn par

I love a bargain! I always want the best deals on any products I buy. I scour the internet, clip coupons and negotiate with sales people for better prices on everything from groceries to new cars. One place I do not negotiate is on professional services. My hairstylist was referred to me by a friend. She does an awesome job and is worth every penny I pay her (including the tip!). Likewise, our d
