Networking is when you decide to interact with a group of colleagues, peers or professionals to create relationships, contacts, connections, and possible opportunities for your professional career.
A new college graduate who I really and truly admire recently shared thoughts and some apprehension on their future job search.
My advice was to begin networking with a smile by asking individuals to get together for coffee or tea. Keep it short and sweet.
Dear XXX,
The history of press freedom goes back to the birth of mass media. As soon as the printing press was invented, officials created ways to censor it. In the American colonies, the defense of John Peter Zenger against libel charges in 1735 is often seen as the cornerstone of American press freedom.
The US Justice Department has apparently decided to test a legal case which unfortunately carries with it First Amendment implications, and may affect the future directions of a free press.
"I actually, ardently pray for the president because — sometimes when we're talking to him, he agrees. Then, I said one time, 'Who's in charge here because you agree and then all of a sudden something changes?' What goes on there?" Pelosi said of her Trump intervention comments.

Recently, I had an individual who graduated tell me they have trouble with self-worth and later I heard others voicing doubts about their personal abilities. You are worth a whole lot more than you may realize and know that your confidence and smile does increase your face value.
Whenever you are assessing your abilities, you need to believe that YOU deserve to be held in the highest regard. If you don’t value yourself high enough, you’re less likely to succeed on almost every conceivable level. Learn to be proud of who you are.
The key is to stay healthy is to remain active, according to a wise woman I recently spoke with after an hour-long session of Tai-Chi.
