Jobs everyone should try once in their life


Nobody in this planet has the perfect job. Including you.
While this article doesn't list the most perfect job for you, it surely brings forth some of the most basic of jobs that might give you some life lessons and, hopefully, make you a better person and employee.
Here are the jobs that everyone, including you, should try at least once in their lives.

Waiter

Jobs Everyone Should Try Once in their Life
It is one of the most basic of jobs and, in fact, quite a number of people (like Lady Gaga and Jen Aniston) have actually done this at some point of their lives. As you wait on tables, you learn qualities like patience, humility and subservience. The best part is that you earn more in tips that would make your salary look tiny.

Baby sitter

Jobs Everyone Should Try Once in their Life
It might be justified if you wouldn't want to associate yourself with what you consider a girl's job. However, this job deserves at least one go because it might help you in your later life, apart from helping you make some extra bucks. Before marriage, men usually find kids extremely annoying and even repulsive to a great extent. When you opt for baby-sitting as a job, you learn how to deal with the very babies that made you cringe before. This could, in fact, be the first step you could take towards fatherhood and would be a great thing to do before you plan to start your own family. Even Anne Hathaway was a baby sitter before she hit it big time in Hollywood (if that's any consolation).

Salesman

Jobs Everyone Should Try Once in their Life
For the thrill of convincing someone to pay you money for something they don't need. The more you succeed in it, the more your feeling of awesomeness. Learning the tricks of the selling trade not only adds to your smartness but also to your inherent ability to manipulate others. Also, there certainly is some charm to a job that was Jerry Seinfield's first.

Customer Service Representative

Jobs Everyone Should Try Once in their Life
This particular job is more like stepping into somebody else's shoes. To be more precise, all those customer care reps you have yelled your lungs out at, at some point of your life. You'll realize that being a customer service executive is, indeed, a job much tougher and challenging than any otherdesk bound job that you might opt for. Hopefully, after this stint, you'll stop holding the customer care rep. responsible for every fault of his employers.

Driver/ Chauffeur

Jobs Everyone Should Try Once in their Life
You're a man and there's no thrill better than getting behind some nasty wheels. While driving a taxi might not exactly be as thrilling, getting yourself a job as a chauffeur of high profile businessman or a celebrity might just be the start of a fantastic experience. While you whisk them around the city, you also get to be a part of their everyday dealings, albeit indirectly. As you gain knowledge about the things they do, you might be able to incorporate them into your life and, perhaps, create your own success story. Even Brad Pitt drove his way right into Hollywood while chauffeuring a limousine.

Foods you should always have in your refrigerator


Visiting malls/super-markets and shopping for food is among the most common of activities
we pursue and worrying for our health and seeking ways to improve it is among the commonest of interests we share. These two aspects come together when you need to decide the kind of foods that should be always present in your fridge. This basically points towards foods that should always be on your food shopping list. This list includes:
Low Fat or Skimmed Milk
Yeah, it doesn’t sound much interesting but milk remains one of the best sources of natural calcium. If you don’t add too much sugar to it and combine it with some wholegrain cookies, you have created the most nutritious, any-time snack. Choose low fat variety to keep down your cholesterol levels. You need milk for making tea too which is a pleasurable and healthy beverage. If you need to pile on the calories after a serious workout, use milk for making shakes like banana shakes. You need it for your cornflakes too. Having reasonable amounts of calcium and vitamins, milk remains your perennial friend, suited for immediate usage throughout the year.

Milk Products: Yogurt & Cottage Cheese

It is not just milk that you need in the fridge, i.e. you need some milk products like cottage cheese and yogurt too. These are your safest sources of protein along with providing essential nutrients like zinc, riboflavin, potassium, vitamin B12, iodine, phosphorus and trace elements like molybdenum. Irrespective of your age, yogurt is the best probiotics that should be consumed on a daily basis. Have a few raw or poached pieces of cottage cheese if you are a diehard vegetarian to ensure you get your daily quote of calcium and protein.

Cannot Ignore ‘Dem Eggs

No health expert in the world can argue the worth of eggs in your diet. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, whenever you are short on food or need that protein fix without too many calories, just scramble some eggs. Boasting of nature’s purest forms of protein, eggs are easy to make and offer so many variations. Whip yourself omelets, scrambled eggs with cheese or boil them hard. Every form of egg is surprisingly different and is packed with nutrients including essential vitamins like A, D and K.

Green Veggies & Tomatoes

Spinach, broccoli or cabbage—green vegetables are recommended to people of all ages to lower their cholesterol levels and ensure daily intake of essential nutrients. You need your daily, basic dose of antioxidants to defy aging-inducing free radicals. These are provided by vegetables and tomatoes. Tomatoes also contain immunity boosters like lycopene. Tomatoes are also an essential flavoring and basic preparatory food item, used in making salads, sandwiches and various dishes. When combined together, veggies and tomatoes along with some fruits make tasty and healthy juices and soups.

Fresh Fruits: Raw or Juiced

You hear it all the time but probably don’t pay attention to it—fresh fruits should be an integral part of your daily food intake. If you have them in your fridge, you are more likely to eat them. If eating raw fruits seems too demanding, get sugar-free fruit juices. Try to combine a variety of fruits, including the apples, peaches and blackberries along with citrus fruits like oranges and pineapple.Fruits provide fiber that defines the overall efficiency of your digestive system. Fresh fruit juices are perfect for answering those sugar cravings or sudden hunger pangs that often hit you.

Lemon for Vit C Fix

We need vitamin C for keeping our immunity sharp, skin healthy and ensuring that critical psychological functions are properly executed. Further, lemon juice has a tangy flavor that is the best way to make your food more interesting. You need it for your salads, sandwich fillings, herbal teas and refreshing homemade beverages.
Besides these, ensure you have some form of whole-grain bread. During emergency cooking or late-night snacking, preparing a quick sandwich with some of the ingredients listed above helps to avoid snacking on calorie-loaded fast food items.

From friends to lovers: getting the move right


The journey from being friends to lovers is perhaps one of the most argued and lesser understood aspects of human relationships.
If handled without precaution, the results could be disastrous and you might lose a once-in-a-lifetime friend forever. This doesn’t mean that you cannot take such chances. You only need to have a more-than-reasonable idea to approach this tricky situation. Here, we will take you through the better way of ensuring that you can graduate from being friends to lovers with lesser complications.
Establish Your Goal
The movie “Friends With Benefits” engaged a lot of attention since it presented a modern-day truth, i.e. today, friends are ready to be physically involved just for the sake of letting out that pent-upsexual energy. It is a form of mutual understanding where they are essentially just helping out each other having safe, consensual sex without being emotionally involved. This is regarded as an urban phenomenon. However, this might be the perception in your head only and not hers. Thus, you need to ensure that when you choose to take a step beyond friendship, she shares your viewpoint. She shouldn’t get the impression that you are proposing a one-night stand. Though that might work too, it could seriously jeopardize your friendship. The next point with help you understand deciphering her perception.

Do you need a self-check?

If you think that you need to do a self check regarding her place in your life as a lover or just another friend, take a week off from her presence. Make some excuse for not being available on the phone. In brief, exclude her from your life for an entire week. Now, judge in what manner you felt her absence. Was it the need of a friend, a lover or your mind was occupied by purely erotic thoughts about her? This will give you a ready clue regarding how you perceive her.
From friends to lovers: getting the move right

Search for Sure Signals that she is Interested

You need to be sure about the kind of signals she has been giving lately. If there has been a lot more than casual touching, naughty jokes being SMSed and she constantly asks about your sexual life or discloses how hers is a big bore, there is something suggestive. If it seems that she is elbowing youtowards a relationship, seems to have that gazed look in her eyes and is extremely curious about your inclination towards other girls or any development in your romantic life, it is highly indicative that she is eyeing you as a boyfriend. If you two share a common pool of friends, take somebody into confidence who can get the inside dope on your friend’s increasing inclination towards you, i.e. is it still platonic or have you ignited something else in her mind?

Getting Realistic: There Is No Guarantee Since You Have Been Friends

Just because you two have known each other for a long time doesn’t guarantee that your first step towards romance has to be trouble-free. The reasons are simple—there are no guarantees in contemporary relationships. Even if you guys mutually agree upon a bedroom-centric relationship, please understand that your former equation as friends is going to help little once you guys are under the bed sheets. In fact, things could become a difficulty. Why? Being close friends, you two might have disclosed your sexual preferences or insecurities. Such kind of information might act as a deterrent when you two get cozy. Keep it simple and don’t expect too much. Where there are expectations, there is a greater chance to get disappointed.
