What used to be rather rare is now in quite a few houses the workstation at home. The case is not, that a lot of someones work at home, its in fact, that the most homes have a own laptop and cyberspace connection. This must be kept or based somewhere. Its not very complicated: buy a desktop and a office chair, put it into a room, which is still unused, used before as a spare room or as a coop, and finished is your own office. And so, your new room will be filled with a lot of bumf. But, with every going day you need more and more features to work with your notebook. The most purchased equipment is a printer. But, there are a lot of equipment on the market, which makes work easier. Nearly any household has still got a printer. Next often other accessories such as sound speaker, scanners, fax machines, all-in-one periphery and any amount of small items. Nearly every user woul like to have his own mouse and his own printed USB-Stick. But that is not enough. Soon the work station is no longer good enough and is upgraded. Always according to the motto: faster, bigger and better. For example, its a must to use a stand alone disk drive to save your big amount of datas, like your movies or photos.

The eternal cycle begins

Sadly this office at home will never be equipped so that the owner is happy. It is equipped only piece by piece, because the devices are quite high costly. When the list is completed at last the first defective devices happen. The paper feed from the printer dont work right or your external hard disk is to slow. The disappointment is often not on the devices themselves, but the fact that new and better products come to market, improving on their own by far. So, this is the beginning of the never ending cycle because every item will be replaced by a new one, which is bigger, better, faster…

Wouldn’t it be great to attend one of your class reunions and have people come up to you and say, “Hey, dude, I read about you all the time!” Sure it would. One thing people notice as a reunion approaches is who is getting some attention in the news media or on the Internet. Can you imagine going to school with someone like Julia Roberts or Tom Cruise? If you haven’t maintained contact with them over the years, how do you acknowledge them at the reunion? “Hey, Tom. I hear you’ve done some film work. How is that going?” That won’t work.

You don’t have to be famous like Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts but if you want to make sure people learn about what you’ve been doing before you run into them at the cash bar, you might want to think about filling out a few social media profiles. That way they can find what you’ve been up to. If you’re stuck for ideas then try picking some names at random and see what people are doing to make a name for themselves on the Internet. Take this guy, Dennis Tamburo. Besides his classmates profile he has a profile on LinkedIn and his own Website.

But he also contributes to the occasional cause, as you’ll find Dennis Tamburo listed here and there. These are the kinds of things guys like Dennis Tamburo should list on their Facebook site.

But surely you can do better than that, right? So let’s say you have some hobbies. Why not start a blog about one of those hobbies. Other people who share your passion may link to you and you’ll enjoy a little bit of celebrity. You can also think about publishing a business biography about yourself on a few Websites. Buisiness bios are only about 1-2 paragraphs long. They tell people where you went to school, what your specialty is, what companies you have worked for, and what awards or recognition you have earned.

In addition to blogging and being autobiographical you should adopt a cause. Help promote cancer research, or maybe protect street animals in your community. You don’t have to be Cesar Millan but you might just find that people speak highly of your achievements at your reunion. Even Tom Cruise has to respect people who follow their passion. If there is one thing Tom is all about, it seems to be passion for what one believes in.
