Consider going back to school and going into a better paying field you would enjoy.  Right now you can get alot of tax breaks being in the Katrina deal.  Also search for jobs that posssiblity will give you better earning potienial and benifits.\n\nI know it isnt easy but keep the faith thats what is so great about the USA the sky is the limits if your willing to work for it.

There's a book by Robert J. Kriegel entitled "How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard," http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446526320/powerhomebizguid that says that the strategy of working harder-and-longer is not the only way to achieve your goals; in fact, it can even be detrimental for you. \n\nThe key to success is working smarter, not harder.\n\nWhile working harder works, the stress resulting from this strategy is enormous no matter how tough you think you are. It creates stress and limits the quality of life. Worse, this work style also hinders performance, productivity and creativity. The "run, run, rush, rush, race, race" is a great strategy "for not having a life," according to the new book.

Dont we all... thats why so many people buy lotto tickets. \nWork hard and keep wishing is all I can tell you. If there is a secret to success I havn't found it yet.

You are making up for the lack of effort it took to gain it.\n\nEverything balances out in the long run.

Others have succeeded only because they have failed more than you have.  The key to success is to never quit tryin.\n\nMany people experience failure BEFORE success... you just have to pick yourself up and try again.\n\nGood luck\n\nBTW: It's said that your outlook determines your life's path... if you see the world as selfish... that's how your world will be.  Try having a more positive attitude.

You're going about it the wrong way. Step back and reexamine it. Or perhaps you're not getting it, because you don't want it badly enough.\n\nTough problem. Good luck!

Because it's harder to be good.  And I don't really understand what else it is that you are trying to say.  It's kind of like it's harder for a person to learn how to write and speak proper English than it is not to so a lot of people don't.

Because if you're late, you're in trouble. \n\nThen again if you're married you are in trouble too... HEY!  That's why I am in a rush both ways!

There seem to be varying techniques. Maybe a combination of them will work. Speed is of the essence though.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your life, even thought it may be challenging to do some of the things you're doing!\nMost of the time it is really hard to face life's challenges up ahead since we don't really know what to do, or how it will turn out... i normally cower from them and try to avoid making any changes in my life, but eventually they must happen..  However, there are many "great teachers" in present day life, who can help us through any challenges or problems we have.

A challenge is always better....  You'll be more respected if you're not easy.  Wait a while, and build the anticipation.

Sometimes it's better to take it slow. (wink wink)\n\nSeriously, speeding through to a degree often signals an impatient nature. Think of the message you are sending to your future employers. Of course they will see you are very smart, but they will also catch the idea you are speedy to your own personal goals, which in many fields would say you're not a team player.

well... its on the "easy side".... I wouldn't recommend anyone giving themselves up that easy..... But it can be hard in a situation of pure pressure, just learn from your mistake; and you'll be coming out ahead.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it .it s possible to be fail in many ways ...while to succeed is possible only in one way

It isn't difficult. It has a lot to do with just showing up on time, dressed appropriately, and volunteering to do things. You must also demonstrate a willingness to work with others and you must be a "problem solver".
