But what about the idea of education for education's sake? Isn't that what college is supposed to be about - making you smarter, more savvy, more cosmopolitan? Ideally, yes. However, in today's world, anyone who wishes to become smarter and savvier does not need to attend college. The Internet can provide you with an amazing low cost or free education.



You can also work on your accent at home: find some audio (with a transcription) with a native American speaker (podcast, movie etc.) and repeat aloud after him.

If ever there was a speech that needed to be practiced, then your TED speech is it. Don't you dare just run through it a few times in front of the bathroom mirror.

Do it at least a couple of times - the more the better.

Ted claims his daughter screamed at him after he told her to shut up so he could talk to her mother. His daughter says that Ted called her fat and cursed at her as she cursed at him.

Continuing education plays a big role in keeping your skills current. Fans consume entertainment very differently now than they did when Madonna started topping the charts. MTV videos and the radio were the only games in town then. Now musicians compete online, with iPads, iPods, satellite radio, social media, DVD audio, etc. so you have to stay up on all the current formats and distribution vehicles. In business you should regularly attend trade shows, conferences, read trade journals, white papers, blogs, watch Join the TED discussion, etc. to keep up with the latest trends, tools and technologies in your category.

(a) Although we are stressed out and have higher standards, we still don't spend as much time as our ancestors did on survival -- 40 hours a week is adequate for most people. This gives us a lot more free time in which to pursue our hobbies; as much as we spend on our jobs, if we choose to do so.
