Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking
institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If
the American people ever allow private banks (Federal Reserve) to control
the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the
banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the
people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the
continent their fathers conquered.

In
order to change my life outside, I must change inside. The moment I am
willing to change, it is amazing how the Universe begins to help me.
It brings me what I need.
All my changes are easy to make.

Success in Today's Workplace:
Skills-Based & Lifelong Learning
Anyone who hopes for success in
today's workplace must be committed to learning job-specific skills
and continuing the learning process for a lifetime.
The Department of Labor has
defined the skills and competencies to be considered work ready for
the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Effective workers can
productively use:
 |
resources. They know how
to use time, money, material, space, and staff.
|
|
interpersonal skills.
They can work on teams, teach others, serve customers, lead,
negotiate, and work well with people from culturally diverse
backgrounds.
|
|
information. They
can acquire and evaluate data, organize and maintain files,
interpret and communicate information, and use computers to process
information.
|
|
systems. They
understand social, organizational, and technological systems; they
can monitor and correct performance.
|
|
technology. They
can select equipment and tools, apply technology to specific tasks,
and maintain and troubleshoot equipment.
|
Competent workers in the
high-performance workplace need:
|
basic skills--reading, writing,
arithmetic and mathematics, speaking, and listening.
|
|
thinking skills--the ability to
learn, reason, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problems.
|
|
personal qualities--individual
responsibility, self-esteem, self-management, sociability, and
integrity.
|
These are critical to success in
the workplace. The more you can develop these skills before
you go to work, the less training you may need on the job and the
greater the value you can bring right away to the company you work
with.
