That’s my takeaways from guest Speakers’ speeches

First of all, I believe guest speakers are always very interesting and very helpful for students. It is always helpful to listen some information from people who work for a long time in businesses. I learned a lot from guest speakers on Thursday.

One of the key words that Mike Reed said is to always ask questions, you would never know the answer if you didnt ask. During the speech, Mike Reed told us, that in order to reach something you want you need to ask for it. In addition, he provided a great example from his life. Mike Reed said that many times in his career he got great deals, just because he ask for them, even when he was ready to pay a higher price.

Another important note I took from Mike Reed’s speech is that he advices to not take Master’s degree right after university and to find job first. I want to get a Master’s degree and before, I wanted to get it right after graduation, but Mike Reed says that there is a big possibility that if you find a job after your graduation from college, the business you work in, will pay for your Master’s degree. It is important because you can always get your Master’s degree later in your life, so you can try to get it for free.

During the speech Mike Reed said, that you always need to be ready for changes. If you got hired by the business, find the best position for yourself. If you dont like your boss, change your job. I believe, it is very important because a lot of people dont like their jobs and do their work just for money. Mike Reed inspires us to be ready for changes, so you dont become one of those people.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
