This topic may seem a little strange but on rare occasions we have to attend to people who drop in without letting us know beforehand. So the first question is if we are faced with this situation, what should our reaction be?
Our reaction would probably be one of annoyance because it was not the right time, or confused as we do not know what they want.
Before we reveal to them how we may truly feel at first, we should remember that world is like a mirror. You smile and it smiles back at you. When you frown it frowns back at you. Consequently if anybody turns up at your door out of trouble or just for fun and for whatever reason do not let your feelings of uneasiness be apparent to them.
It is always positive to be stable and show that you are always in control of surprises and it’s happy to be with people who do not care much if they are intentionally or unintentionally trying to upset you. It is so unpredictable because we could be in a similar position someday so it is always good to be composed and inviting.
An adage has a saying that fish and guests smell in three days but we need to be quite patient with what goes on around us and be warm and welcoming.
Hot tip: Do not do unto others what you do not like to be done to you.
Cheers!

Volunteer opportunities
On most students' 'To-Do' list after enrolment and starting a semester is to secure part-time employment to help out with living expenses. Mostly students get employed on a casual basis. But there may be a few students who become depressed when their efforts are not paid off or they are not able to find employment. The fact is deppression just blocks our energies and affects our studies as well.
You may find it boring or waste of time but honestly try to do some volunteer work. You may be able to secure places for voluntary work on the councils website or you may ask for it in a church . Getting involved in your community brings a great sense of satisfaction and you also begin to widen your network of friends, understand how work opportunities arise and what documentation you need to provide.
Your voluntary work could also be an experience you may write about on your resume which employers value a lot. Finding an hour or two in a week, a fortnight or maybe a month to help people in nursing homes, migrants having language difficulties, or people with disabilities.
These individuals are important part of society and help us learn things which we take for granted. You could be recoganised for your voluntary work and rewarded in more ways than one can imagine.
Hot tip : The work related voluntary work website is goodcompany.com where you can learn and showcase your skills you have or would like to develop. The website will provide you with an opportunity of your choice of voluntary work.
