Communication - Our Greatest Fear?

March 30th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

In some form, language, dialect, or motion, all of us have participated in communication since the day we were born. It seems plausible to assume that communicating is an additional human sense and ability that evolves with the world around us. Increasingly however, this assumption is becoming outdated.
It goes without saying that the main reason […]

It’s not a vacation we need - it’s a change of lifestyle.

March 18th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

This week marks my fourth spring break as a college student, and I have a strong feeling that it is going to provide my most relaxing and rejuvenating break yet. Interesting thing is, I’m not on an island in warm weather drinking and having naked orgies, although that does sound most enjoyable.
This week marks the […]

Gen Y is the “I’ll Help Everyone” Generation

March 16th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

Gen Y is a product of the Information Age - a generation of problem solvers
Generation- Y is cautiously optimistic, a by-product of our ability to process the huge amounts of information that the world around us is now able to produce. This allows for global events to influence us on a detailed, daily, and constant […]

Three ways boomers and millennials are the same.

March 7th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

I know that we look different from baby boomers. But fundamentally we operate the same way. So if you are having trouble getting along at work. Try looking at things from a different perspective.
1. They think they deserve special treatment
You complain that we feel like we deserve something in […]

Are passion, dedication, and loyalty the routes to older generations’ acceptance of us?

March 3rd, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

I recently attended a speed networking event put on by a local community center. While I was definitely looking for a potential job opportunity, I was much more interested in receiving reactions to the ideas and altered approach to life that I have gained since entering the blogosphere.
Passion quickly became the main theme of the […]

Procrastinating Makes Sense! Sort Of.

February 26th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

Now that I have gained the attention of at least a dozen people who are currently trying to justify their procrastination, let me explain. The act of procrastination is an unavoidable human behavior that is exhibited frequently by the vast majority of people. Procrastination comes in many forms, as small as finding a reason to […]

Is academia finally keeping up with today’s society?

February 24th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

I have expressed in numerous posts my disdain for the higher educational system. Among many things, I don’t think it understands and blends with reality. It doesn’t ready the majority of its students for their actual careers. And above all else, it only rewards those who succeed with flying colors in the classroom. But […]

Be a Successful Advocator

February 13th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

Sunday night I had the privilege to attend a seminar by a leading keynote speaker who delivers insightful thoughts behind successful ways of advocating. His main point, “cater your speech to your audience,” was less than ground breaking until I talked to a friend afterwards who exclaimed that she “loved the speech, but didn’t think […]

In a rush

February 10th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

Lately I have been struggling to cope with the idea of waiting. Partially a facet of reading The 4-hour work week by Timothy Ferris, and partially due to the fact that I should be graduating in the spring, (and I am not) playing the waiting game has become a daily struggle for me to accept.

The best thing college has to offer is not actually finding yourself, it’s the lesson on how to find yourself wherever you go.

January 30th, 2008 by Matt Goldberg

Three and half years ago I made it to the campus of The Ohio State University, and more than anything else I was ready to “find myself.” I was not entirely sure what was meant by that, but everything the University had sent in my direction essentially read “Come find yourself,” and I was ready […]
