Be Proactive

I love my mom to death, but there are differences in the way we live our lives. She reacts to problems, instead of acting beforehand to possibly avoid them. And now the problems are multiplying, so she can only react to each of them, instead of making a strategy to deal with them all at once. We just don't have the money.

My definition of proactive is to be prepared, to act beforehand. I'm not always proactive, but I try to be as much as possible. When I make a purchase with my credit card, I don't just pay the minimum balance, I pay extra. Sometimes I pay the full balance. Helps keep my account in good standing. I don't workout all the time, but I try to fit in a couple ab exercises and push ups when I'm pressed for time. Helps keep my body in good condition, so I can possibly avoid health problems in the future.

There's alot you can learn when you understand the difference between being proactive and reactive. Don't accept a telemarketing offer unless you can do research on whatever it is they're offering. When you get "pre-approved" for a credit card, don't just immediately sign up for it; instead do your research beforehand to see if that card is really for you. When I chose my bank, I did research on them before I opened an account with them to see if they offer a good service. And they do. And as a result, my bank account is in good standing. No fee is hidden. Before, I had an account with a cell phone company, but I didn't have this mindset until recently. So that cell phone company gave my information to a collection agency. I reacted to that situation, instead of proacting before my bill was late and avoiding the agency thing. See my point?

When you react, you're following someone elses lead. They make the decisions, and you react to them. I mean, it's bound to happen, for instance, like in the stock market. If you invested in a company, and stock prices are down, you have to react to protect your investment. So there are times when you have to react to situations. Since you know you'll face those situations, you have to have a proactive mindset, to keep those situations to a minimum.

You're your own boss. Don't react to life's situations and then struggle with life's problems. Take the reins, and steer your life in the right direction!

Keep It Hush Hush With Hushmail

Feel paranoid about your webmail's lack of security?

Enter Hushmail, one of the safest webmail services on the internet! With Hushmail, you don't have to worry about those pesky hackers peeping into your personal emails!

Haha, advertising is fun. I don't know if I have any dedicated readers out there yet, but if I do, I gotta apologize for not updating the blog as frequent as I use to. Still doing alot of runnin around, so I'm tired as hell when I get home. If I could blog in my dreams, there would be a new post every night!

Done with the excuse, on to the subject at hand. I found this webmail service.... hmm... I don't remember how I found it xD! But when I did, I did a little research and learned a little bit about encryption software and whatnot. Offering more than just spam protection, Hushmail uses a 256 bit encryption software - double the security found on most bank's websites - to ensure there are no peeping toms when you check your mail. Very convenient if you bank online.

Maybe you knew about it before I did, maybe you didn't. But if you did, why not spread the word? Everyone knows most webmail services like Yahoo and Google don't fully protect your emails from potential hackers, so a service like Hushmail is pretty much needed in this day and age. Now, no webmail service can be protected %100 (nothing done on a computer can be protected %100, I don't think), but Hushmail does do a good job at making sure your emails won't be intercepted by some guy looking to get your bank account number or your affiliate account number, or whatever. And spam is not an issue with Hushmail, of course.

So if you get emails that contain sensitive information, you really should check out Hushmail's webmail service - you won't regret it.

Finally, Time to Blog!

That was probably the longest time I haven't updated any of my blogs (sorry!). Busy week, with parties springin up from here to there. I think I lost a couple lbs from the all runnin around I've been doin xD.

Still some issues in my personal life that needs to be resolved. But other than that, I'm starting to make moves. I'm about to work on my uncle's restaurant website, I'm about to get my Capital One credit card in the mail soon, and I'm looking for another job, hopefully doing something different, cuz my hands are wearin out from doing too many dishes!

But yeah, I'm gonna have to make alot more posts to make up for the time I've been away. So keep checkin back here!
