The Sunk Cost Effect

Once upon a time I took a mini- Economics class in college and mainly learned one thing. No I learned a lot but one thing stuck. The sunk cost effect. I remember it because it's all about how some people put so much into something that they can't walk away from it. Basically, they are blinded from other possibilities. So make sure that in your personal, academic, and professional life you are open to other options even if you have invested a lot.

PS. Change that major if you need to and watch your happiness increase in college hahaha

Iron Sharpens Iron

A wise man once said, "Iron sharpens Iron." I first heard about this adage last year and I have never been the same. Have you truly asked yourself what that saying means in your personal and professional life? You want to lift others as you rise but be careful as people might end up being a weight on you instead of a wing. It's up to you to decide whether you want to fly or not.

Balancing your Personal and Professional Life

Do you know how to separate your personal life from your professional life? Sometimes you have to and sometimes you don't. Just make sure that you maintain balance on all sides of your life. Don't let the personal destroy the professional and the opposite is true.

Living your Life

We are sometimes so obsessed with other peoples' life. A healthy dose is reasonable but don't get to the point where you have neglected your own. At the end of the day, you have to make sure that you are taking care of you before putting your nose in other peoples' business.
