It is difficult to be a good noncommissioned officer. If it had been easy, they would have given it to the officer corps.
My weeks tend to differ pretty dramatically.
To me, no one has fully cracked the code on social recruiting yet.
Studying doesn't have to happen in a silo. It can be a social experience. You can engage with your friends and family to find out the answer to a tough question or have someone explain it to you. You can also study anywhere you happen to be and on any device.
Any business that is looking for new customers needs to understand the Internet and how to market their goods or services through it.
I think there are four or five interesting pockets where a lot of cool technology companies are getting started. Chicago is one of them. New York is certainly another. Silicon Valley really dominates. And you're seeing some stuff out of Boston and Seattle and down South.

You did what you were told or you didn't get paid, and if things went wrong it wasn't your problem. It was the fault of whatever idiot has accepted this message for sending in the first place.

Headquarters had even started an Employee of the Month scheme to show how much they cared. That was how much they didn't care.
So as you are, in whatever conditions you are, in whatever situations you are, whatever may be the surroundings, like a dirty mire full of creatures and filth, you can become like lotuses. When you become like lotuses, all that is filth, all that is horrible can become fragrant. And this is what we have to achieve.
