Real Estate Dos and Don’ts

Buying a house is a big step in anyone’s life. It’s almost a symbolic transition into adulthood. You’re leaving your apartment behind, taking on new responsibilities, maybe even starting a family. When making such a big and expensive change it is important to do your research. First and foremost, meet with a financial planner and make sure that you have the means to take on something as substantial as a mortgage.

Second, find a lender who is certified, qualified and trustworthy. It is key to your success as a home buyer to make sure you are surrounding yourself with professionals who have your best interests at heart. Finally, research and find not only a realtor who has experience in the market you want to buy but also take a look at the entire brokerage. Do they have any ethical violations? Has the Broker been taken to arbitration or court? All of this information is made available to the public. All of these steps will help ensure that you get the home you want for the price you want and will prevent you from running into many problems home buyers face.

Rehab

Rehabilitation is very hard after an injury, but it also can be rewarding. After my knee surgery I had a lot of rehab in order to get back to my strength before surgery. I had knee surgery in high school, in the middle of my ski racing career, so I was incredibly strong before it. I was amazed that after about a week of keeping my leg completely still the muscle just seemed to melt away.

The rehab that I did was incredibly difficult, but every day that I got sore from a workout felt great. I still appreciate the feeling of being sore because of that experience. I learned that I should appreciate being able to work out. I know that it makes me feel great and rehab proved that. My advice: Make sure to stay on top of your rehab schedule. It is important not to push your injury and stop your rehab too soon. Rehab is so important for so many reasons, and if you do it right, you’ll end up having a stronger joint/muscle/bone than you did before.

A friend once said to me, “Resumes have about as much truth to them as a Harry Potter book.” I asked him what he meant and he told me that, for him, resumes are just telling the employer what he or she wants to hear. What do you think?

So why are they such a crucial aspect of getting a job? It’s the format. You can actually tell a lot from a person based on the writing in their resume. If their format is precise and uniform throughout, you can tell they pay attention to detail. If the grammar and syntax is well planned and clearly executed, it is obvious they have the ability to write well. These qualities are important to most employers. A resume is the first opportunity you have to make an impression on a future employer; make sure you represent yourself well.

With the holidays just around the corner, I’ve been trying to decide what to get some of the important people on my list.

The iPhone has been one of the more popular products on the market for the past few months, and though it seems expensive, and is, I think it’s a good buy, especially as a gift for a loved one in your life. The iPhone has so many useful features, from navigation to games to music space to a touch screen, I feel that it has it all. Furthermore, Apple is one of the best companies around when it comes to being helpful and replacing broken products under warranty.

One of the specific reasons I like the iPhone is that it is a phone and carries all the capabilities of an iPod as well. You get both in one device. This is awesome because if you are shopping for an iPod and a phone you can get both at the same time. When looking at my own iPod and phone, I realized that I had spent more on both items combined than I would have if I had just gotten an iPod. So, next time you’re out shopping, stop by an Apple store and check out the latest iPhones.

Safety Comes First

Safety should be first and foremost when you are working out. My college soccer coach hounded us our position when we were doing strength training so that we wouldn’t injure ourselves or injure someone else. Safety tips should be followed no matter what sport you play or what activity you participate in. There are safety rules for playgrounds, sports parks, even office buildings. Follow these safety rules and avoid getting injured!

Whenever I work out now, I can still hear coach saying, “Position guys, if you hurt yourselves in the weight room you’re going to feel like quite the idiot.” Our team knew that what coach was saying was important. It’s too easy to pull a muscle by putting stress on your body in ways that it’s not meant to be stressed. I try to have someone spotting me whenever I lift weights, even if I’m just lifting light weights. It’s good to have someone else’s eye on you for position as well as catching a weight if you run out of energy. Coach really taught us all a great lesson in that working out is great for our bodies but we can ruin it all if we’re not careful to be safe.

Advice on Applying for Scholarships

Getting a scholarship can mean the difference between going to school or not for many people. Scholarships help pay for tuition, books, and even housing. Scholarships are need-based, academic-based, and sports-based. There are also scholarships for people who are descendants of military heroes and other notable Americans. While applying for scholarships can be time-consuming, it is well worth it. Some scholarships can be worth thousands of dollars.

The best way to begin applying for scholarships is to create a list of those you want to apply for. You can search for scholarships online or ask your school advisor for a list of those most suitable for you. Next, fill out the applications carefully. Scholarship forms that are left blank or incomplete are usually discarded. Also, spend a lot of time on any entrance essays you are asked to write. Have a teacher or friend edit it for you. Make sure not to miss the entrance deadline. Good luck!

Don’t You Just Love Scientific Discoveries?

Today there are so many scientific discoveries being made about health. I just read an article about there being waves of energy in our bodies that can be calculated using mathematics. It always interests me how science and nature can combine to create something even more amazing.

This article described how these energy waves are what make us physically do what we do. They control our nerves and muscles. There’s a type of chiropractic study called network chiropractic that harnesses these waves. Network chiropractors “adjust” you by moving your body’s energy around and taking away the bad energy. These experts can, without even touching you, make your body move involuntarily by moving the energy in your body. It’s quite an amazing science and is a very interesting natural and alternative medicine as well.

Recently, my parents bought brand a new HP computer. It came with a 30 trial of Microsoft Office, but after that they were asked to pay upwards of $200 to purchase the full version and to keep all the documents they had created. It was a little frustrating considering they just spent $1500 on a computer that cannot even be used as a word processor or spreadsheet application. However, recently people are becoming more and more aware of open source software available all over the Internet.

Instead of my parents paying $200 to get the full version, I downloaded OpenOfficeSuite off the Internet, which has nearly all the features of Microsoft Office. The only noticeable difference is desktop icon and the names. For a matter of convenience and ease for my slightly computer illiterate parents, I named the word processor Word and the spreadsheet application Excel. It was quick and easy, did not require any registration fees or credit card, and most importantly is compatible with any document or spreadsheet created with Microsoft Office.

The Fear of… Public Speaking

I came across a recent study that ranked the top 10 fears of Americans. Guess what was number one? Nope, not spiders; they were number three. Wrong again: Fear of heights was number two. The number one fear of Americans is public speaking. That’s right, public speaking. Death was number six on the list; six! That means Americans would rather die than have to speak in public.

I personally don’t have a problem with public speaking. I mean, in what other circumstance do people encourage you to imagine others in their underwear? Doctors say the best way to get over a fear is to experience it in a controlled environment. If you’re afraid of snakes, meet with a snake handler and touch a snake. If you have a fear of heights, conquer it by sky diving with an expert. If you have a fear of public speaking, try giving a small memorized statement in front of friends and family. They’ll love you regardless of your performance. While being afraid of snakes or of heights probably won’t affect your job performance, being unable to speak in public might. You can conquer it with some work…and maybe you’ll even one day add public speaking to your list of strengths on your resume.
