Has Your "ZOMBIE CARD" Been Revoked?

Have you ever conversed with someone about the ways in which the government is rigged against specific groups of people, and after the discussion you realize that some of these people really think that that's just the way it's supposed to be?

Seriously, there are some people that equate the suffering and struggles of particular groups of people to the "circle of life" if you will, in which the struggle is inevitable therefore it must be normal

This mentality I like to call the "giving up" mentality, where a person buys into third party interpretations of what one should think and be. It's like sentencing yourself to death years before you're officially buried in the ground. What's left are a bunch of zombies walking around simply existing for the purposes of existence. But don't take up space if you're not going to positively add to society, right? 

Either dig a six foot hole and pull the dirt in on yourself or stand up, and dust yourself off, while making strides towards positive contributions within our American society and the best place to contribute, is at the ballot box with your vote at your current place of residence.

Get informed with what's happening around you in your country, in your state, in your city, and in your town. It's imperative that we stay engaged so that we can engage others, and guess what? If you do the latter, then you're zombie card would officially be revoked. :-)

Think about it...

How to Handle Unprofessional Behavior and Backstabbing Circumstances in Business

The world is full of professionals; those that claim to offer expertise in particular areas in which to profit, and those that offer services that they themselves aren't an expert in -- but will offer them anyway while finding someone that is an expert as a means of using their talents to capitalize off of.

If you're not intuitive enough to realize that a "professional" is trying to dupe you, then it could lead to a catastrophic spiraling of events in which you're sure to pay the price for your mistakes. However, as long as you learn from your mistakes then you seek to reduce the chances of being duped a second and/or third time etc.
 
Business is sharky and backstabbing for sure which is why to protect yourself, you must always look at everything with a very keen eye from every aspect that there is before making a final decision about anything regarding business.

There are "professional" business predators that prey on those they deem to be weak and/or unknowledgeable about business, and will lie in order to retrieve what they feel is necessary to benefit their organization. 

Personally, I've encountered "professionals" that tried using creative rhetoric in order to figure out the knowledge that I hone, in order to use it for their own business as to eliminate paying the middle man (you) for a service that they require. All your studying, research, and practice will be for naught if you easily give away your "inside" secrets and valuable knowledge -- as knowledge is power indeed.

An honest business relationship is one where a professional treats you with respect as a fellow professional, and is willing to be truthful about a partnership with regards to splitting generated revenue as a result of working together. A sneaky "professional" that tries to capitalize off of you without you knowing, isn't necessarily a good person to deal with.    

As for how to handle unprofessional individuals? 


Keep a cool head and remain professional at all times, after all this is your reputation on the line and you don't want one unprofessional person taking you out of character due to their own inadequacies. Always handle business as usual but never accept vulgar or abusive language from anyone, as it will kill a business relationship quicker than it began.

Be smart in business and above all, make sure to question a "professionals" motives at all times, this way you protect yourself and your company.
