         <description><![CDATA[



It has happened to all of us. I was talking with some friends and left for a couple minutes to get a drink. When I came back, someone said “shhh…he can’t know about this.” Immediately I started thinking. What shouldn’t I know about? Have they figured out my secret? What should I do? The people I considered friends a few minutes ago have turned into accomplices in a conspiracy against you. How could they do that? I hope you can spot the personalizing that is going on. I wouldn’t have thought...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We all have had a friend who has had a good job. It interests them, they enjoy it and through their salary, they can provide for their family currently and in the future. We all have had a friend who has had a bad job as well. They do not enjoy it and it is just done to pay the bills.&#160;They view it as tedious and because of that attitude, their work is clouded with insignificance, dependence and fear.
What is the difference between these two types of people? Is it their work environment,...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[


In a previous entry, Our Work Should Compliment Ourselves, I mentioned how we should have a passion for our work. Now before you start commenting about how work isn’t fun, I do not mean that you are jumping out of bed and speeding off to work every day (although if you are, great!). But rather, that you go to work not only because it gives you a paycheck, but instead, it helps fill a void you would have without it. I define this void as some type of longing to do something, whether it is to...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Do you remember being a child and being told that you can be anything you want to be when you grow up? An Astronaut, a doctor, pilot, professional soccer player or super model; it didn’t matter, everything was supported. But as time went on what people expected from you became more limited. Maybe you weren’t good enough to go pro or pretty/handsome enough to be a model. It is ok, there were still many other opportunities next to the luxurious ones. Now as you matured while going through high...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Every weekday the average worker spends eight hours at work. In total, it takes a little less than half of one’s alert life if one works full-time (40 out of 112 alert hours per week, which includes 8 hours of sleep per night). Our work life also has an influence on our personal life. Working late, stressful schedules or a bad day are not always left at work, but often brought back to the home. Fortunately, the opposite is also true with good and productive days bringing joy into a home....]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[In theory, this is a straightforward question with a simple answer for some and a difficult answer for others. The key difference between the levels of difficulty is how well you know yourself. Common answers might be, because I felt like it, because it was the best decision at the time, or because I had to. All reasonable and justifiable answers, but here at pursuingthedream, we are looking for something a little more in depth.&#160;

One way to discover ones' true feelings and reasons is to...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Okay, if you have defined your purpose with me in the last post, you might now be saying, wow Ryan, that is great, but what does this have to do with "pursuing the dream?" Simply put, if you know exactly what you should be doing from just your purpose statement, yours must be much more defined than mine is and your could be well on your way to pursuing the dream. My purpose, for example, can be met through multiple ways like in the agriculture, water treatment, water distribution or sanitation...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[For my first post I would like to start with what I consider the necessities. One year ago I was considering whether I wanted I should apply for an engineer development program with a company I had completed two internships with. I had enjoyed the work I had completed there, but it seemed to "normal." That is, I would be following the standard American development model, which I grew up with: get an education -> get good grades-> get a good job -> become independent -> get married -> buy a...]]></description>
