G- If you don't like your situation, change it. Don't know how? Try this. Buddhism for Agnostics By Generalist –June 7, 2009 Buddhism is a cognitive exercise for the purpose of full awakening. It’s distillation from vagueness to everyday practicality took a long time and the efforts of many great thinkers. The final step to make it available and useful for ordinary people was taken by Nichiren Daishonin whose modern translation is taught by SGI. A clear, well informed, mind makes your efforts more effective. To optimize life, start by observing what you can see and systematizing it. Then remove all the repetition and all the advice and everything you were ever told is true. Keep only what is verifiable. What you wind up with: things change. Causes produce effects and life is both tangible and intangible. Without focused intention and effort, there is rarely a result other than decline. The fact is that if you choose to guide your life by those simple observations, you will be ahead of almost everyone. If you want to package those concepts into a system, use the following: -Choose to focus your intention – NAM-. -Understand the basic relevant realities like the inseparability of tangible and intangible-MYOHO. -MYOHO is also the union of the physical and universal that everyone is seeking in religion and inventing different names for. -Realize that causes produce effects-RENGE. -Understand that change never stops- KYO. This is motion and continuity-like a river. No one is stuck. Reciting the formula that includes all of these basic realities in a short form produces results. Why? It works because the human mind is heavily biased toward language. It’s in Japanese because the topic can’t be expressed as succinctly in another language, and its originator lived in 13th century Japan. This process clears the mind for greater comprehension. It is not magic, it is cognitive exercise. It doesn’t replace focused effort toward your goals. It makes those efforts more effective. Put your palms together and recite the formula for a great life (Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.) It works better when you find a support group at SGI. This summation of life's realities is the basic truth which anyone can use to enhance life. The dichotomies and contradictions disappear as fast as you allow them to. What have I gained since I started to use this formula? Unknown artistic ability discovered. That ability led to success. Rebuilding of an unhappy, isolated, paranoid, chain saw personality to being a middle class nice guy with all the friends I want. Money is much better. Professional ability is much better. Met and married the woman of my dreams 14 happy years ago. Comprehensions added. The comprehension required to help hundreds of people change their lives to happy success. Success as they individually defined it Source(s): 1) Nichiren Daishonin, by way of Daisaku Ikeda 2 ))http://www.sgi.org –for a variety of reasons, some of the terminology used in some writings of SGI sound religious, but the intention of the founder was that people discover and manifest their inherent enlightenment without requiring any outside agency.

Save up enough money to get one month ahead on your bills (hard i know. i can't even do it. just an idea). then when you're one month ahead, you can make those payments on the 4th (early for the next month) and 18th (again, early for the next month). just a thought my friend. good luck and happy 4th.

Perhaps you could "juggle" your budget to have money left from the previous paycheck to last until the next. Our company went from weekly to monthly so they gave us 2 months to get things adjusted to be able to go a month with no pay!.. Answered By: knowitall - 7/4/2009

You don't get paid every two weeks. You get paid bi-monthly - 24 paychecks a year. I get paid every two weeks - 26 paychecks a year. As for late checks, call your state labor board to find out how late an employer is allowed to be. I think it's 3 days. Direct Deposit helps. Answered By: lolly - 7/4/2009

Learn to manage your money. Answered By: Off Grid Granny - 7/4/2009

Well you should schedule your bills so that they can be paid on a day you know you'll have the money. You can call the company and ask them to change your billing date. Also, lots of bills give you about a month to pay them, so don't wait until the last minute. Finally, as a life point, try not to live paycheck to paycheck, so that if something goes wrong and your paycheck doesn't get deposited that it doesn't mean the end of your financial world. Keep a little bit saved up so that you'll always have money if your paycheck doesn't come through right away. You can try talking to payroll at your job about that, but I doubt they can do much about it, its probably automated. Answered By: elysiansmiles - 7/4/2009

Have your employer electronically deposit your check to your bank. Source(s): Me Answered By: Polaris - 7/4/2009

It certainly violates scripture, which says that the working man is to be paid at the going down of the sun, but it is a contract that you entered into with the employer. So don't come whining to us about it. Answered By: hasse_john - 7/4/2009

With the job market the way it is, we're all screwed. You are not alone. If your company does direct deposit, sign up for it. It eliminates the delay. You need to start your own business and incorporate. The tax benefits are amazing. As a corporation, you're not taxed on your straight income, you're taxed on what's left after you pay your bills! If there's nothing left after your bills, guess what? You have no taxable income. You'll never earn enough to be comfortable on a paycheck. Work for yourself. You can start something part time, after work. That's how it's done, my friend. Answered By: Nowpower - 7/4/2009

Here is what my husband does.....because we were in a similiar situation once. He would pay all the bills in advance, because you can do that..so for instance our main bills are the following: mortgage due on the 12th water due on the 30th electric due on the 27th gas due on the 14th cable due on the 5th phones due on the 10th so on the first of each month he pays the mortgage, gas, phones, and cable on the 15th he pays all the rest of the bills. at times he will pay over the amount. for example..we do not have to worry about making a water payment for 5months, a gas payment for 3 months, and the cable and phones are paid up for a whole year. now, when we first did this..it caused us to watch our money that week as a large chunk of it went away to do that..but now...we have that money each month as extra..which means..we now apply that extra to our mortgage...which means our mortgage will be paid off in 10 years instead of 23. there are ways to work and my husband is an ace with our finances..if you wanted you could email me the list of bills you have, the amounts, when they are due, and then tells us the amount you make and at what times, he would be more than willing to help you figure out what to pay when.

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work.

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
