Dilemma: Giving Advice

Photo by melodramababs on Flickr

I give advice. I give suggestions. I give support. I give ideas.

However, it has recently come to my attention that not everyone appreciates how openly I give. Does this surprise me? Why, YES IT DOES!

The Dilemma

So my dilemma for today is this: Is there a way to determine who I should and shouldn’t give advice too?

  • Does it matter their personality type?
  • Does it matter whether they are management or subordinate in my relationship with them?
  • Is gender an issue?
  • Or does it just depend on the individual, and I shouldn’t care if they don’t want to hear it, I should give it to them anyways? (my current view point)

As always, I know “Depends” is going to want to be said. I also know that timing may be the key to everything. However, with out those factors involved what else should be determined?

I’m a Communications Major For Cryin’ Out Loud

Human relationships have always been a fascination of mine, particularly human communication methods. So I am genuinely interested in what you have to say on the topic. Later this week (I promise), I’ll give you my in depth take on the topic.

Setting Goals

Well, it has been about 5 months since I have last written. I told myself that if I started a blog I would make sure to write on it constantly. For some odd reason I feel that is an important step in having a blog. As mentioned in my last post, I have been slavin’ away with two jobs, and it has kept me rather occupied. However, as summer sets in, I feel it is time to move on, settle down and become a one job man.

However, I’m not completely going to just settle down, I have a goal. I have never been a goal setting type. I mean I have life goals such as becoming a concert pianist, a renaissance style marble sculptor, and a millionaire by 30, okay 40 now. But short term goals are something that I just don’t really do. I like not having expectations for the day, and living life with whatever may come my way. However I do have a goal that I have set for the summer (shorter term).

I help hundreds-or-so people make money online every single day. It’s my job, it’s what I do, and if you ask me, I do a bang up job at it too. So the question is, why can’t I help myself make a little money online? Good question, huh? So my goal for the summer of 2010 is to create an online business, and strike it rich (because that is what the internet is for)!

So as I journey through this new adventure, I will be sure to keep my avid readers (Annie by name) up-to-date with my latest developments. Therefore requiring a blog post quite a bit more often then what you have become accustomed to.

Wish me luck, Enjoy!

P.S. If you have suggestion on what I should do to “strike it rich,” feel free to let me know. Just an FYI, if it deals with pills, porn or casino’s the answer is NO! ;-)

Gotta Join the Working Class to Get to the Middle Class

Dwight-worker

Well, I suppose like any blogger looking to make it to the top of peoples reading lists that I must apologize for my absence from my blog. I like blogging, I really do.

The reason I have not been able to spend as much time on my site as I would like, is because I have been working like a maniac. I decided to take on a second job for the holiday/winter season so I can get this family up and on its way to a house of their own. Somewhere in time I heard a story or two about how my grandpa would work from morning to night to keep the family out of debt, and food in their bellies. I heard stories of the farmers, whose property I currently reside on, work the days away to be where they are today. Well, I figured if that is what they did to get ahead in life I should too.

So just like any other man looking after his family, trying to provide, and keeping kids clothed, I took on a second job teaching people how to use Macs, at the local Apple reseller store. It is something I really enjoy doing and I am getting paid for it, so in my book it is a win/win (sorry for the cliche). I know it isn’t the physical, manual labor the ancestors did, but hey, it’s 2009. Besides, teaching elderly couples how to create a gmail account takes just as much patience as fixin’ a tractor.

My hope is with the holidays coming, I will be able to get some time to write a little more of what is on my mind and finish the site so that it just screams- DAVID MALMBORG!

Thanks for your patience.
