Continued from page 1 computer skills, people skills, and (last but not least) attitude. Don't underestimate the power of attitude, advises Street. "Your attitude is the determining factor in your success or failure. You don't think it matters? You're wrong!" A survey of 100 top businesses businesses reveals hiring decisions decisions have everything to do with, attitude. You lose if you lack humor or enthusiasm, or if your ego is too big or you refuse to start at an entry level, You also lose if you aren't adapting to the new job market or think you are immune to the changes. Life is "a do-it-yourself project", observes Street. Dave Street has worked as a motivational speaker since 1990. Prior to this, he was an employment counsellor and labour market analyst with Canada's Human Resource Development. He has a teacher's certificate certificate from Simon Fraser University and a Bachelor of Arts in Adolescent Psychology from Trinity Western University.

While children need some privacy and independence, they also need parental supervision both in the real world and on line. / Together decide which sites are appropriate for your children and which are not. Set guidelines as to when, where and for how long they can be on-line each day. / Create family rules such as "Never give out personal information such as name, home address, telephone number, parents' work information or the name of their school." / Explain to your child that people online online may not be who they seem and that it can be potentially dangerous to arrange a face-to-face meeting. Tell them that under no circumstances can they meet anyone without your permission and your presence. / For more reassurance, check out programs available that are designed specifically to prevent children from accessing inappropriate materials on the Internet.
