Global CI...Your Partner for Building a Better Future!
Do you take many things in your life for granted? By looking at the
world a little differently, you just might realize how much you have to
be thankful for. Here's how to stop and smell the roses.
1)Pay attention to the people around you. You will find that everybody has something to worry
or complain about, not just you. It's easy to focus on those who seem to have
it all, but you never know what's going on inside. They might look happy, but
they might be miserable as well. Don't look at others and think "I should
have it like they do." Look at those who aren't as fortunate as you are
and take note of how blessed you are. Count your blessings. If it helps,
consider volunteering or start a friendship with someone who is not as
fortunate and find small or gradual ways to help them.
2)Practice acceptance. Stop dwelling on how things should be, what could've
been, and what you don't have. Recognize what you do have--whether you like it
or not, it's yours to keep or to change. Accepting your lot in life is not
about resigning yourself to unhappiness. It's about not wasting time wishing
for what you don't have. You could try writing a list of things you want, and
things you have. Consider the thought that many less fortunate people will want
some of the basic things that you have.
3)Become a problem solver. Use your lemons to make lemonade. Get in the habit
of asking yourself how you can turn the negative into a positive. The most
successful people in life, and those who have the most to be grateful for, are
also those who've endured tremendous trials and managed to persevere and turn
it all around.
4)Learn to see hardship as a chance to develop
character. Imagine yourself looking back ten years from
now and recounting your difficult circumstances, and being proud of how you
handled it and worked through it.
5)
Develop a gratitude
journal. It's pretty simple. At the end of every day, write down five
things that have made you happy or appreciative that day; not necessarily
big things, even small ones count.For example:1) nice weather, 2) being thanked by a customer at work, 3) my pet, 4) having people who love me, 5) a funny joke or a
song you like.
6) Take joy in the small things. Blow bubbles. Walk the dog. Get lost in the park.
Goof off or watch a funny movie and have a good laugh. Life's treasures are the
small pleasures; give thanks for each small gift you receive!

Despite Slight Dip in October, IT Employment Continues to Outperform General Employment Market -Released by NACCB
Alexandria, VA, November 12, 2008 - While the news in the general employment market in October was horrific, IT employment dipped only slightly, according to the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB), which tracks monthly IT employment. With a slight dip of 3,000 jobs (.08%) in October, the association reported IT employment stood at 3,916,200. Even with the modest decline in October, IT employment has displayed surprising resilience during the year. From October 2007 through the current month, IT employment was still up 4.5 percent---far outpacing the general employment market. The broader job market continues to shed jobs at an alarming rate, losing 284,000 jobs in September (a significant upward revision) and an additional 240,000 jobs in October. "The contraction of IT employment in October was not surprising. Given all the turmoil in the economy and the devastating job losses in the general employment market in recent months, we are relieved that the decline in October was a modest one," commented Mark Roberts, CEO of NACCB. "While the long-term growth prospects of IT employment remains very strong, I anticipate there will be significant challenges in the short-term and mid-term in light of the deteriorating macroeconomic picture," said Roberts. The IT employment index is published by the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB), the national trade association representing IT staffing and solutions firms.
