Time Crunch, Feeling the Pressures..

Have you ever wondered why we always say there is not enough time in the day to accomplish what we want to do? The main question is there ever a enough time to do anything?

For me, I strongly feel that planning each day on a daily basics is the best tactic to accomplishing any goals that we wish to accomplish. We also need to utilize a five year plan to reach all goals that we intend to accomplish.

Currently, with school being out for a week, and I am debating should I attempt to add two classes that I need to reach my goal of graduatiing in Spring of 2007 from San Jose State University allowing room for setbacks if there is any. I am finding out how essential and critical it is to plan. Its similar to the Program Evaluation Review Technique. Without this tool, we could not be efficient in our lives and in business. I found out that this tool is vital to the majority of our success.

The morale of this post, is that planning should be mandatory for accomplishing anything and also make sure you have a working balance for yourself with it as well. For instance, make sure you mix excercising, playtime, and business well. We call this the perfect mixture or I call it the perfect mixture if you do it well.

What's New!!

Currently I feeling the pressures of being a student and being a worker at the same time. Sometimes, you wonder should you keep going and conquering all challenges. For me, I have no choice, its just in my blood to be challenge wherever I am at.

I have finals coming up in two weeks in three classes. Let me tell you that this is no cake walk either. Talking about some tough courses. We talking Finance and Quantitative Methods for Business Decisions(part of calculus), and international Business which is quite interesting. I have to say for any future entrepreneur, you definitely have to think about expanding a business globally. There is a lot of complexities in variety of opportunities in the International World. I think my favorite Topic in International Business was a professor from Harvard Michael Porter. This guy tells a lot about a Competitive Advantage and what ingredients that is needed to become a competitor among other companies that runs a operation similar to yours.


Moving aside, we have another important day coming up in most of our lives. This Sunday is Mothers Day. We all better show appreciation to our mothers. Without them, most of us would not be here. You definitely have to show them how much you appreciate them and what they have done to impact your lives.


Well that's all I have to say for now. I have to get back to work. I will post again after I am done with Finals or if I need a break from Finals.

Immigrants Protest Through the Major Cities in the US


Okay guys I don't know about you I totally disagree with the protest that the immigrants was putting on May 1, 2006. What sickens me the most, is the the fact that they are trying to compare it to Civil Rights Movement done by Martin Luther King back in the 1960s. I have to say that is not the same at all. At the time, our country was faced with extreme amounts of slavery, and the predominately blacks were riducled and abused.

I probably would have not cared as much about the protest, but when I received a ticket during this protest it totally turned me against any movements for them for immigrants jumping across the border or entering the US illegally. I also have real good hispanic friends. Even those with parents that call "me hall" (not sure of the spelling currently). The reason I make the the previous statement is that I am not against the hispanic culture at all. I just feel that there are some that deserve better and they are the ones working for it, and not these ones that want everything to come their way.

Furthermore, I was on my way to Finance Class tonight at San Jose State University, and when I came across an officer to ask him what was going on, he told me to pull aside so he can cite me as he was citing others. Tell me that was not wrong. This is supposed to be the city finest. Total BS, I am so pissed I can write a letter to the Mayor of San Jose, and tell him I pay taxes and I am a working citizen and also up and coming citizen with me currently going to school to advance my traits. Therefore, I can have alot more to contribute to our society and community in a positive way.
I tell you one thing, I cannot wait to see that damn idiotic cop Officer Sanchez in court. I think he got his nerves to cite me on my own street where I travel regularly to and from school. Not only did he cite me for passing some lame ass cones, in addition there was a bus going through the same street. For me in my vehicle, I am totally looking up the street following through traffic, come on now, what would have anyone else done in this situation. For me to ask the officer what was going on at the time, shows that I was clueless or oblivious to what was going at the time. Especially I saw cars running into each other with all the commotion and chaos that was going on at the time. What was a man supposed to think? I had no clue that this was protest until I skipped class and went to the library to focus on other courses. I was able to stream our local new channel KRON 4 News in San Jose, CA through a network provided to students and patrons of the Dr. Martin Luther King Library. What a coincidence that the library is named after Dr. Martin Luther King!


How would you respond if you were me? Would you battle this officer in court?



Let me know what you think!

GAS PRICES IS RIDICULOUS

I am sure we all know that gas prices is outrageous these days. I filled up gas in my vehicle yesterday. A vehicle that takes 16 gallons to fill up. I nearly paid $60 to fill up the tank. I believe that these gas prices will cause financial hardship to many consumers out there. This is not only for personal usages for them going to work, school, or just leisure time. I am also getting at the business out there that is involved in Logistics or Transportation. I strongly feel that we all should protest against the gas prices, and see if our government could fight to bring it down. In addition, this is the way to live, and if someone do not do anything about this, we could facing some serious turmoil.
