...something within ones own power, control or management”(Dictionary.com, 1996). Within our own lives, we have everyday responsibilities from family life and finances, to schoolwork and making a living. We can simply call those Personal Responsibilities. Those with the successful ability to manage the personal responsibilities of everyday life, tend to be the better students, being that they have less stress, better time management, and more time for concentration on their school work. Stress Management Stress is an everyday part of life that sometimes seems unmanageable and is always unwanted. Although there is no actual definition to stress, the best understanding one can have of stress is “a condition or feelings experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize”(Rosch, 2011). We all have different ways of dealing with stress. Some use a long walk, or the gym to get out frustration, which releases endorphins and can alleviate the symptoms of stress. Some step away from the situation that’s causing the stress, and come back to it with a clear mind. Anyway that you can find to alleviate stress will help put things back into perspective and make even the most seemingly impossible tasks become attainable. I use a few hours of my day, everyday, to go to the gym and lift weights. It really gives me the opportunity to step away from all of lifes daily stress, and just put things into perspective...

...Finance is probably one of the most significant part of our life, it is involved in all kind of activities. No matter where you are and what you are doing, we all face difficulties in making decisions in how and when to use money. Talking about finance, most of people would link it with monetary terms, material possessions and investment to increase personal assets. For me through finance is more about budgeting. However, I consider it not only as a money management tool to balance my expenses and follow my business’s financial performances but also as an instrument that gives me an opportunity to expand my comfort zone. There are a few vital aspects of finances in my life that I am going to explore in this essay, including personal finance and public finance. The type of finance that plays a big role in everyone’s daily life is a personal finance. Individual can be compared to an organization that faces with financing decisions and investment everyday. In order to purchase or invest, the person has to do calculations and projections to make the best decision.

...that a member of staff who is naturally motivated can be significantly impacted by a peripheral setting that discourages employees to demonstrate elevated levels of enthusiasm. Department managers must be leaders and generate an encouraging managerial environment to persuade employees to be fruitful. While managers can implement output levels merely through means of the influence of their title, leaders search for affirmative motivators to persuade most favorable levels of output. Employees are usually more creative while working in an environment of admiration wherever leaders maintain the lines of communication open and keep employees knowledgeable of long-term goals relatively than merely controlling and managing employees on their daily actions. The key to managing output in the office is to administer behaviors relatively than personalities. Strengthening is a word defined by behavioral psychologists who urbanized the thought of operant conditioning. This theory urbanized by psychologists Edward Thorndike, John Watson and B.F. Skinner, cities consequences, optimistic or harmful, as a key stimulator of behavioral knowledge. In other words, if the department leaders desire to increase their output, they...

...the working capital management? Working capital management Working capital management refers to the administration of current assets and current liabilities. Liquidity management involves the planned acquisition and use of liquid resources over time to meet cash obligations as they become due. The firm’s liquidity is measured by liquidity ratio such as current ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio. Financing current asset Current Assets require financing by use of either current funds or long term funds. There are three major approaches to financing current assets. These are: a) Matching Approach Under this approach, the firm adopts a financial plan which involves the matching of the expected life of assets with the expected life of the source of funds raised to finance assets. The firm, therefore, uses long term funds to finance permanent assets and short-term funds to finance temporary assets. Permanent assets refer to fixed assets and permanent current assets. b) Conservative Approach A firm that follows the conservative approach depends more on long-term funds for financing needs. The firm, therefore, finances its permanent assets and a part of its temporary assets with long-term funds. Short-term funds are cheaper than long-term funds. However, short-term funds must be repaid within the year and therefore they are highly risky. C) Aggressive Approach This is a high risky strategy of working capital financing wherein short term finances are utilized not only...

...internet, so many might feel there is no need to seek out or pay for a structured learning option. Many might feel handicapped limited by their own understanding of the financial space, becoming a living illustration for ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. Some might simply lack the discipline to carve out time to manage their finances or make and manage investment plans. We can overcome some of these challenges by creating a program with a low barrier to entry, providing a more structured learning resource, and guaranteeing that some of the program elements allow for tangible realization to serve as its own proof of concept thus allowing for continued attention devoted to financial literacy. Challenge: What is the best way to structure financial literacy programs Application of the SCAMPER technique: Substitute | Can format be changed?Can emotional stigma about financial education be changed? | Can it be taught on demand online? Can it be offered as structured courses vs. unstructured on demand info? Can it be seen as an asset rather than ‘scary big black box’?

...Awad 1 Awad Abu Awad Prof Frias English 015 25 February 2016 Take Off a Tie Put On a Skill These days, finding a job can be an irritating process for new graduates due to life changes that has been made throughout the past years regarding businesses in several majors. It is terrifying to see how 23% of the college students spend 2-6 months searching for a job after their college graduation. After many days and nights of hard work, the dreams of sitting in a chair at a well-known company can turn into thoughts of regret written all over job advertisements in the Tuesday newspaper in a basement. Job hunting can only be as difficult as it seems when recent graduation takes role in the lack of experience, credit points become a daily issue due to the lack of finance management and unemployment becomes a main fear of a job searcher. Changes are made every year, new graduates should be taught to deal with these changes to be fully prepared for what the future awaits. Degrees are meaningless as years of practice and experience become one of the top requirements for an interview of a certain field. Nowadays, many companies’ top priority is success. One of the reasons behind failure in a business is not the idea of repeated mistakes, but the lack of experience. This is the reason behind marking degrees as a meaningless tool and instead accepting skills and years of experience as predators of success....

...small as a penny. When I finally chose to acquire my degree in finance I had already been working in the industry for over twenty years. And I fought the call of becoming a CPA for many years throughout my work experience. When I took God’s path I knew I wanted to attend a college that was faith based and would lay the ground work in expanding my Christian beliefs so I could apply it to my career. With this new found knowledge it will be important for me to use the Biblical principles in my everyday involvement of my work. “Buy the truth and sell it not; also wisdom and instruction and understanding” Prov. 23:23). My career goal is to be honest and faithful to His word and to imitate His image in the process. Example 1: Finance is a valued part of the Christian life. Whether it is tithing or making sure you are living within your means. God takes how you handle your money, or the money of a company, as serious as any other important issue in your daily living. The disciples were called upon to lay all their material items down and follow Jesus and to have the faith that God would provide. “They learned that to be the greatest in the kingdom of God, they needed to become a servant of all (Matthew 20:26), and that they must daily die to themselves, to their own agenda (Luke 9:23-26), (Etzel and Gutierrez pg181).
