Help for Surviving Current Recession

Surviving current recession is a burden we all are facing, some more so than others. With more unemployment, lower wages and higher living expenses people are concerned about getting through these tough financial times. This situation is hard on many but it is nothing we as mankind haven’t faced before. The only difference is the people who are involved and their past experiences.

There are many challenges to surviving current recession but if we keep our concentration on our needs and not our wants we will realize it will pass. We need to see the importance of supplying our necessities and how wasteful we truly are. To often we place emphasis on things that don’t have an impact on our lives, but we still want them. Wants are fine but they must be put in their proper place and accumulated after the basics have been met. Many times we get our wants first and then deal with the required things after, this will cause more financial woes then we would ever expect.

One primary problem with this financial situation is today’s society or generation hasn’t faced any difficult times. I know there are many people who have experienced them but the majority of middle aged and young adults today have grown up without any shortages. They have been the recipients of instant gratification, inflated self-esteem and many times had things supplied upon their demand. They seldom heard the word “NO” and when they do it is an experience they can’t accept. Their parents have always tried to give them the best they could and make life as easy as possible for them, and that is a parent’s attitude. I am as guilty as anyone else who has done this; we weren’t well to do but were more blessed then some, and we did try to give our children more than we had growing up. They didn’t receive all of their wants but they did have more than they needed. We tried to instill in them the importance of applying Christian principles so they would be able to function in society properly and they have proved that to be profitable.

The solution to surviving current recession is not to become overwhelmed with the circumstances. When conditions aren’t like we wish we often become depressed and disgruntled. Everything is wrong and we aren’t satisfied with anything. Everyone is the cause of our problems and we resent them for it. These are the attitudes we must resist the most; they multiply our frustrations and turn us against those closest to us. We should realize we aren’t alone in these times and consider the blessings we have. Now is the time to view the problems we could be facing that others have and be thankful we have been spared from those. This is when we need the strength and support of our faith and allowing it to carry us through. Beginning each day with an attitude of being grateful for what we have and not begrudging others of what we don’t.

The needs of people are great but if everyone decides to face their problems they can be overcome. History teaches we must do what we must to provide for ourselves. Put our pride and selfishness behind us and do what others are unwilling to do. There is no shame in doing things we feel we are to good for. It will train us to be thankful for the abilities and strengths we possess and an appreciation for the small blessings we receive. Individually we must concur our own obstacles, no can do it for us.

Don’t look at those who have more and be resentful, look at those who have less and be thankful.

Current Status Idea - Greetings All I recently wasn't able to come on the forums for about a month and a half recently due to going on holidays, moving house and having extra pressure on at work. I was thinking about this and thought that everyone would believe that I only came on for a month to win a prize therefore possibly decreasing my credibility. In saying this, is possible add an option in the Profiles called "Current Status" that allows a user to select an option like "On Vacation", "Out of the state", "Away", "Overseas" etc (maybe displays in brackets next to the username) so that everyone knows they are actually unable to participate in the forums at any given time during the year?

Business Query....HElp me out! - Hi I am a young enterpreneur who has started a market research company . I am facing tough time in sales even though we can offer very low cost and smart service to our clients. I have the following queries. 1. As we are a start up company we generally try to approach other start ups ,middle sized (20-50 employee) companies around the world for getting projects. Is this the right strategy?. 2. Current sales Strategy: a) We email our business proposal and then call them for a followup .Many of the times ,the telephone exchange says us to email the business proposal to an email address and we do so. Should we request her to fix an appointment with the relevant person?.If not her, who is the right person. How shall we move a call after the operator. b) Sometimes we are able to speak to the right person but after sending the business proposal we do not get a positive reply. The reason we apprehend is that we are not able to build up complete trust in clients eye. How to build this trust ? Waiting for your replies and suggestions, Thanks in anticipation Sandeep
