What do I want on my cell phone

If I can think of a feature to add on to a cell phone I would come up with a built in lie detector test. Every ones voice will be scanned and every time they are lying you get a beep on your side of the phone. This idea will have some advantages but more disadvantages for people who constantly lying or those that don't want to tell others where they really are.

I have to give this idea some more thought......

my own company

This is my senior year at college.
I have been looking at my career options; however the one that stands out the most is owning my own business. There is just one problem. I don't have an idea of what type of business to explore. I asked a professor for some advice and he explained that there are two types of entrepreneurs. The first is the one that knows exactly what field they want to pursue and jumps right into it. The second, is the entrepreneur who wants to begin any business just to make money. They don't have a set field to pursue-they just now they want to make money and seize opportunities as they come.
I think I might be the latter.
So in considering-owning my own business I know that I am interested in either venturing into insurance or real estate. However my passion is in management consulting. How do I combine these interest into a business where I can mange all three?

my digital music blog recommendation

I was reading this blog about digital music and its healing capabilities. Music is very therapeutic. To check it out go to http://www.digital-music.blogspot.com/.

digital music

My experience with digital music is very limited. I don't own a computer so my access to one is solely from my office or school. I don't own an Ipod or MP3 player and I still use Cd's. However I listen to the radio all the time and most of my friends make Cd's for me with all types of music. With that said, my experience with digital music is that since it is available over the web and I still own a CD player (which is always up to date with the latest music due to burned CD) thanks to it- I don't spend any money buying any new Cd's.

Is there a connection between peoples personality and their occupation?

While I have been on my career search-I have been trying to find what occupation matches my abilities, personality and simply something I would enjoy doing. I came across this article 'The Hidden Hand of Your Personality' it has links to personality test and other useful information. However sometimes I am led to believe that it doesn't matter. People would like to do something they enjoy but other circumstances like financial security, location, or other obligations get in the way of their "dream Job" or vocation.
So are these personality test like astrology? Do they categorize your personality into a specific type and some how believe that due to these traits you act a certain way or should be working in a particular field?

I linked the post below an it might be interesting to see how many personality types are actually doing what these test suggest might be your 'calling.'

apprehentions about blogging

Its 10:25 pm I have a class assignment due tomorrow. I have to post a blog for this class that I am taking as an elective and my first reaction is "why?" But now its less then 24 hours that this homework is due and I haven't the slightest clue where to begin ... so I tell myself-just write!

So, I have obviously never posted a blog. I never wanted to. Why should I do this? How can I benefit from writing my thoughts, ideas or opinions and have them criticized by others. These people don't know me, understand me...can they even relate to me? In the mist of my apprehensions I get an answer.

The answer is 'Why not write this-JUST TRY IT, you have nothing to lose' or do I?

I CAN RELATE TO OTHERS about these fears of blogging or putting myself out in the Internet.
OTHERS DO FEEL THE SAME, actually while discussing this assignment with another classmate they felt my same apprehensions and we joked about what we would write or what others would think.
I CAN BENEFIT FROM BLOGGING cause I am learning about myself and others.

But the truth is as I try to write my thoughts, they start racing and I want to get this all down- before I forget it . But my fears of blogging won't let me....so what do I do now? I guess I'll throw this into cyber space and just wait and see!
