Online education can be categorized in two categories. You can go for free online learning as a part of self study or may be as assistance to your regular course. This may be part of your assignment or a school project. Another facet of free online education is when you get yourself enrolled for a degree or a certificate course through an online institute. In every case, free online education is a great help for many people today.

A great news for those who are looking for free online education is that many reputed universities such as the Boston University and the University of Massachusetts has a lot of free course materials over the Internet.

I always dream of becoming a productive person and that is the reason why I constantly strive to upgrade my myself by learning new skills and knowledge. Because of this vision, I still want to enroll for personality development courses that may be available and applicable for me. And because some of particular institutions I want to be in are so far away– like on the other face of the planet– I decided to use the Internet and look for their personality development made available online.

I really did not an idea on what site to go but some gave me a hint that I could use search engines to find those sites which are offering distance learning program. So, I used google and yahoo search engines.

The first thing that I did was to try to look for personality development program so I inputted keyword phrases such as “self improvement” in search engines. Fortunately, I found some useful information with link– like below:

“Person to Person coaching is obviously meant to toughen the confidence of folks in an establishment by centering attention on their really powerful performance steadily and touching on individual strengths as well as faults to improve folks to do better. It is an important catalyst for personal development.There is the necessity to elevate optimism if you are curious about self improvement for the reason that it is connected to fine morale in addition to optimistic thinking which are substantial for long life, perfect physical vigor and advancement.”

Since I wanted to upgrade my learning, I have typed keywords like “online accredited degrees”. It gave lots of information about online degrees with links which allowed me to go to sites about this topic. I retrieved the following information:

“The rise in the availability of online universities?are really a great thing when you consider that someone could be living in somewhere such as India could be working towards studying a degree from a university in a place such a California. It is the rise in the availability of distance learning facilities that have made this at all possible. Largely we can thank the widespread use of the internet that has been a major enabler as for that the internet is a great thing for people the world all over.”

I wanted to know more about distance learning courses offered by universities like Oxford and Harvard so I have inputted key phrased like “distance education program” and prompted with lots of information about it like the following:

“We all know that to earn more we must learn more and one of the ways that we can improve our knowledge is to take advantage of some of the many Free Online Classes?which are available to us all. This is one of the great things that the widespread use of the internet has brought to us all, it means that we can the information we need whenever we need it. If you want to improve your career prospects you are advised to take some of the many free online classes which are open to us all.”

Indeed, I was able to acquire relevant information for personality development. These will surely be always helpful for me.

I’ve begun to see a situation with people where they have worked at a company for 10, 15, or more years and either the company is running itself into the ground, or the worker at the company is no longer interested in being there.  For someone in this situation, what do you do?

Habit/Comfort

I have been fortunate ever since I graduated college in April 2004.  I am now working at my 4th job and each transition has been on my terms and my choosing and has provided me with an upgrade in my salary.  This is not the case for everyone.  Those of you who’ve been stuck at the same place of work for many many years have a lot of comfort and things you are used to at your job.  Adapting and changing will at first, be difficult.

The good news is that it’s not so difficult that you cannot do it.  Especially if your company is headed downhill either through management failures, or from just losing business over time.  The first step is not wanting to be comfortable but looking for a change.  This means gaining new skills and taking time to get out of your comfort zone.

Take the time to gain the skills for your field that you do not have.  For me, this means looking at the latest in web development technologies.  For others, this means learning to cook more exotic foods, find more creative ways to crunch numbers, or finding ways to better manage people.  Do not get discouraged because you do not know the extra skills you need.  Simply take the time to learn them through practice and application.  Find out what employers are looking for and go out and get those skills by any means necessary!

Change of Perception

Most of the people who’ve worked at the same company and that are in a rut there likely have a common scenario.  They have not had any of the following for many many years:

• Create a Resume
• Have a Job Interview
• Learn New Skills
• Excitement at the work place
• Desire to do anymore than is necessary to get the job done
• Compliments of management

I will say that the ‘drudgery’ of work creates a rut that hopefully can at least be recognized if you are in that situation.  I have some ideas that I believe can get you out of this rut, but you must be willing to take some action for an extended period of time.  Not working on it for a few days or weeks and then giving up because you didn’t see instant results.  The vision of long term effort and determination is what leads people to future success.

So the first step is changing your perception to someone who is proactive and enjoys new challenges.  This means talking to yourself and building yourself up.  Tell yourself you like new challenges.  Paint a picture of yourself that is happy and energetic.  You like to meet new people, undertake challenging projects, and solve problems.  You are successfull and happy.  You can do it!

What do You Want?

I know a guy who likes Harley Davidson motorcycles.  He’s worked at the same company for over 10 years.  He does not like it there.  He’s getting burned out and he likely comes home and just crashes, with no desire to try and accomplish much of anything.  This spiraling routine must be fought and beaten into the ground.  Do not feel like coming home from work is the end to your creative thinking and time to stuff your face with snacks and watch your favorite TV shows on DVR.  This will lead you to decay and a sedentary and unhappy life.

What you CAN do is spend time thinking about what you like and start putting action into place to pursue that which you like.  The guy I know that likes Harleys could start taking time to compile information about the motorcycles of today.  He could take pictures, and write pages and pages of information.  In time, he’d have the ‘bible’ of motorcycles.  This could lead him to start a website, create his own brand of motorcycle, start his own dealership, or start his own club.

Does this seem silly?  No way!  It is possible!  I am living proof of this.  I saw that I enjoyed helping people and wanted to make a difference in the world.  This means not coming home and sitting with my hands under my butt watching reruns of Seinfeld all day.  It means taking time to pursue my dreams and passions!  It means working on this website!  I am also going to be pursuing real estate and renting properties because I like working with people and know that some good extra money can come from it.

I am not afraid.  I know the pros and cons to what I do.  I move forward with determination and happiness.  I know that you can do the same.  Why wouldn’t you want to pursue the things you love the most and are passionate about?  Isn’t that what being happy is all about?

Being Fearless

Fear of the unknown, change, and leaving your comfort zone no doubt keeps you in check from changing the monotony of life.  It does not have to be that way!  You don’t have to make millions of dollars either.  I make a decent salary at my day job.  And I work on all this other stuff in my spare time.  I love doing it.  You may love motorcycles, music, singing, dancing, cooking, cars, magic - whatever it may be, if you love it and are good at it, I can’t see why you wouldn’t want to spend time on it.

Once you know what you want to do, make every effort to do it.  It’s like someone offering you a brief case full of gold, but you reject it because the brief case is heavy or looks funny and you don’t want it because it’s different than what you have.  My goodness, I hope you can see the fault of not pursuing your dreams and passions!

Do not be afraid of failing.  Take every effort to educate yourself.  Research, talk with others, and most importantly, take action.  Be happy that you are pursuing your dreams.  There is no feeling like knowing that you are doing what you are meant to be doing in life.  It removes fear and doubt and instead replaces you with confidence, happiness, and inner peace.  I know with faith, effort, and determination that you can break free of your many years at your job and start doing worthwhile things!

Getting a college education is not a choice to be made lightly. The focus of this topic is for those of you in high school, or those of you who are a bit older, that are seeking to get a college education.

There are a few areas that are important to talk about when considering a college education. First, knowing what you are passionate about and what you would like to pursue for your career will give you an early advantage. Second, learn to manage your time and money. Third, Learn to be internally motivated. Finally, take time to proactively learn both inside and outside of college.

Know What You Are Passionate About

I’ve seen people in high school who really like computer games. They play them all the time. Perhaps someone like this should think about working in the gaming industry. Become an expert in the sound of games, the graphics, or writing story lines. Maybe you like accounting and working with numbers. Don’t second guess yourself. Pursue your education in what you like to do.

I’ve created my website, drjerm.com, to help you find out what you are passionate about. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what you like to do. That’s okay. If you take the necessary steps to get your life organized and make an effort to discover your destiny, creating your legacy will not be difficult. I know that if you start putting the right things first, like your education, and get serious about it, things will fall into place.

Learn to Manage Your Time and Money

Understanding your money before college is a wonderful thing. For me, it took me until after college to really get a grasp on how to manage my money. As such, I was always broke and didn’t quite know what was coming in and what was going. You can take some simple steps to understand your finances before college and this will give you an advantage!

Check on your finances at least once a week. Always know what amount of money you have. Don’t spend more than you are earning. Look to save a portion of what you earn. These are basic principles of finance. The main thing is to spend time looking at your finances. This will come in handy when your college education is complete and you are making big bucks because of it.

Be Internally Motivated

Please, do not go to college just because your parents say it is a good idea. An education without a purpose is nothing more than throwing your money away. For the first two years of college for me, I basically slept in class, skipped class, and was just going because it was something to do. I had no idea that I could be internally motivated, actually learn from my classes, and apply the skills learned to do wonderful things.

Drjerm.com exists to help you find internal motivation. By utilizing the resources I have to offer, you will not need a coach to motivate you. You will find that the best motivator is yourself. When you get to this point, you will be ahead of at least 90% of everyone else. You can then make the choices to decide what you want to do, and there will be nothing to stop you. You will gain educational power because you are motivated to learn from within.

Learn Both Inside and Outside of College

There are some simple things you can do to learn both inside, and outside of college. Here are some of them:

• Study outside of class and at school, where there are no distractions
• Work in the computer labs at your school on assignments
• Meet with your teachers outside of class
• Ask questions in class, ask as many as you can
• Research online according to your field of study
• Create your own ideas that nobody else is doing related to your field of study
• Proactively meet with students to collaborate
• Find the best tutors available and use them

I know that with a little effort, determination, and proactivity, that you will get an education for the right reason. And that reason is to further progress your knowledge and ability to succeed in situations. If you will do this, you will find your education a tool to success!
