How I did it
It made me
Happy! 
How I did it: Registered with www.pandora.comThey have a plethora of music waiting for you to evaluate and listen to. Random artists are selected that match you past "approved" music. After a while, you simply start listening to a variety of artists/music in general. Read how I did it…
It made me
Accomplished!

When someone offered me an opportunity to learn/polish my programming skills - I took the risk. They actually gave me 3 months to read up on C, C#, SQL, and ASP.

It’s taken a while for me – but I’m finally at the stage where I take a second “thought” of whether or not to consume fast food (unless I’m starving and on a time crunch).

Any tips?
