Fix your life #

So you've made it this far, taken all my advice, learned a bunch of new software and interviewed for the awesome job, but you still didn't get it?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. We've all failed job interviews, but it's not a reason to put your head down or go back to sleep. You should see it as a learning experience. Take advantage of the fact that you're still alive, and go learn something else. Perhaps a new spoken language, or learn how to take care of kids.

I'm going to provide you with a list of things I still do almost every day. These things keep me active and they keep my brain from losing too many cells. It has become part of my lifestyle and I think you should also do it.

• Read a book, tech blogs, news sites, something for your brain. The more you stay connected, the easier it will be to get back into the job market, or even to jump to a new job, or improve your current career choice.
• Watch a funny movie or TV show. Allow yourself to LAUGH, every day! Your brain needs it.
• Do something physical. Don't be a bloody nerd drone always in front of your computer. Go out for a run, bike, rollerblade, walk, whatever! Just be active! Don't be lazy.
• Talk to people. Personally I don't always enjoy talking to people. But you'll be surprised how much you can learn from people no matter how smart or dumb you may think they are. Everyone has different perspectives and life experiences, so feel free to talk and listen to others. Give them your attention, get their respect.
• Experiment with the unknown. Along the lines of talking to random people (which can be really weird sometimes), you should not be scared to try new software, take a different route home, and even eat new foods.
• Enjoy LIFE!
