“If you don’t understand something clearly that you are being taught…speak up.
If you feel something is confusing or you are unsure of exactly what to do…ask about it.
If you need clarification or something repeated to make sure you got it…request it.
If you feel lost, forgot something, or feel like you are falling behind…bring it up.
Nodding your head, saying “yeah, yeah” and pretending to know things you don’t is right up there with one of the worst things you can do when you hire some one to help you and your career.”

“If your dream is all about winning an #oscar, a grammy, an #emmy, or another award, give up and quit now!
Why dream for accolades, awards, recognition or celebrity status?
Dream to learn, achieve, grow, sustain and succeed.
You will be a happier person in life over trying to define your success or your dream by what others think of you.”

“A well-written article does not make what was written factual or something to subscribe to.
Fiction does not become fact because it looks good.
Fiction does not become fact because you wish it were true.
Fiction does not become fact because it has turned into popular opinion.
Remember this before reading the news, views, opinions or commentary.”

“You can do something nice without posting it on social media.
Give with heart.
Share with authenticity.
And help without the spotlight.
It gets old fast with so many bragging, marketing and showcasing how giving they are. It also creates the perception that these individuals are doing this for their own promotion, marketing, and visibility, over genuinely trying to help another.
There is something beautiful in giving a gift and just doing it to do it and not doing it to brag.
The real honor of a person shines through so much brighter when they are not bragging about how much they do, how much they give and how much they care.”

There is no rule, no law or no condition on any of these sites that says you must continue to follow or stay connected with someone you don't want to on social media. Unfollow, disconnect and block if need be and as often as you like.”
