Next week I’ll be moving into my new one bedroom apartment. I can’t afford the rent with the money I currently make, but I have a money market account and a couple fist fulls of stocks thanks to a distant relative I’ve never met before who died last year.

The Importance of a Positive Attitude and How It Helped Me Get a Job
Here is my own experience on the importance of a positive attitude and how it helped me with my career.
