Common Sense in the Work Place

I have just listen to Fox News on how to dress in the work place. They were talking about dressing too sexy. How one dress in a professional manner has a great deal to do with how you will apply yourself to the job. I wonder if the reason that this value is not being applied properly has to do with how parents train their children.

I see less and less discipline in the homes by the showing of more and more of what is called “time out” means of disciplining children in the home. Sometimes that may be the proper means of disciplining children, but it is not only way. Believe it or not the lack of proper parental training is the reflect to the lack of common sense in life when these children becomes adults.

When I was going to a technical school, we were graded on the 10 important ethics. It was very insulting to me that I had to do it. I understood why it was being done, but the issue is I was trained properly in the home. Why are so many parents are not doing this for their children? Once these children becomes adults, it is ever so harder for them to learn these important skill. It is easier for them to learn all of how to behave and all the things parents should be teaching them from birth to adulthood.

To my way of looking at life, the worse abuse that a child can have is when parents do not train and discipline their own children while they are children. The results are more then just bad dressing habits at work or where ever. Common sense is not an a given. It comes from the training and knowledge that children learns throughout their lives. The more a child can learn while being a child, the more common sense will be applied. If parents do not teach their children, then hardly no application can be applied to the situation in life in adult life.

When a child becomes an adult with proper training in the home, as an adult proper self esteem will be the guide. No one can truly live their lives with out mature and healthy self esteem. With this we can take challenges and proper risk that allows us to go forward in life. It is the scares of bad parenting that turns most people into serious depressions. Life in itself is hard, but with all that parents can teach and the love that comes with it, can make a giant difference.

In proper training can we all be team players. This is what Helen Keller said, “We live by each other, for each other, alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much. Only love can break down the walls that stands between us and our happiness.” When parents do train their children properly, children will then learn about love. It was discipline that Helen Keller had to learn first before her Teacher could teacher. To be teachable one must be humbled.

Vista more Secure than Mac OS!

I have always said that the best security online is to never go online Even when we get in our car and drive to a store or where ever, we take some risk in doing so, but we still live out our lives no matter what is going on around us.

When we are online, we need to use that same common horse sense. We should at least have a good firewall, anti-virus program, and some kind of a spyware software that has a shield to protect us from attacks. Even with these software, does not mean that we will be safe while serving the Internet. As we do not give out certain things in a public place, we should at least behave in the same manner when we give out information online.

A lot of people have said that the Firefox browser is safer then most browsers, but in time, that will not be so true. I use a firewall, anti-virus program, spyware software, and other security software that helps me protect me from all sort of threats, but I am still able to have security problems if I am not careful on what I am doing online. There is more then not giving out information that can cause security issues.

It is too detailed to go into the details, but when you surf online cookies can give out you surfing habits. Without you knowing it, advertisement banners can download small programs that can violate your privacy. Firefox has extensions that can help block all advertisements, but it does not mean you are safe from other means of companies to download their little spyware unto you computer. Do not fear too much. Most of these spyware programs are not malicious. This means thy are not a true threat, but for people that likes to protect their privacy to the best possible manner, they are ways you can protect yourself.

One way clear your surfing habits regularly. They are several free software that can do this for you. There are software that can allow you to surf anonymously. I do not know too much about these software to give a thumb up or down. For me I have found all the security software I need without paying one dime for them. None of these are pirated software.

That is another issue in security, if you do not know where you are getting what you are downloading from, then it can have viruses and other security risk to them. Since "open source" is a growing, there are more and more free softwares out there to download. A good number of these can be downloaded from sites that you can trust like http://www.downlaod.com. This site come from C|Net. Before downloading any software, always read there policies, they will state if there will be any spyware in them.

Bottom line is do not surf, download, or whatever online blindly. Would you dive in a pool without seeing if it had water? Neither should you surf the Internet without checking out all stops of what you are doing. Going online is the same as driving to a store and buying a product. Use common horse sense.
