Protecting Your Company When Employees Bring Their Own Devices
With your employees handing sensitive data and documents over cloud services, there are some things you can do to prevent any leaks or other disasters. The first thing you should do is train your employees. Cluelessness could be your downfall because most employees will not take the time and effort to get in only to bring themselves down. Come up with guidelines -- and distribute them -- for how your business’s data and e-mail are used on employee devices. The goal is to encourage workers to exercise caution. Since most of them will be using their smartphones to access emails and documents, all of the employees should have mobile device management software which allows the remote control of a mobile device. It can be locked remotely or the data could even be wiped. It can also set up firewalls and encryption. Do you have any other advice for employees using their own device?

Mother's Day Conundrum
This is the 21st century so why in the world are we still acting like it is the dark ages about reproduction? There have been countless articles about workplace equality and that woman are still not getting equal pay for equal work. News flash, women rarely get the equal work to begin with. They are seen as lesser, whether consciously or unconsciously. In some cases, a uterus on legs. What if a woman decides that she does not want to have children? Is there something wrong with her? That is how society portrays them. Once again, let me point out that we live in 2015 where there are mobile applications, cloud services, and smart gadgets and yet half of the population's worth seems to be based on their biology. I bet the transgender community has these bigots really confused. In a lot of cases, this sort of separation starts in grade schools where girls are not even encouraged to study math and the sciences, and this will continue all the way through grad school. You can still be a complete person without children. What do you guys think?

Taking Productivity to the Next Level
As human beings we are bound to struggle with procrastination at one point or another. You might also be one of those that has tried everything in the book and every hack that has been suggested. The list is endless, ranging from mobile applications to locking yourself in a room but here are a couple more that might be more towards the helpful side of things. One of the things that you can try is to write down an object and the time frame in which you wish to have it completed, and be reasonable. Then just set your alarm and have at it. That way you make a game of it and don't have to waste time looking at the clock or your phone every five minutes. If you are traveling, one of the secrets that I found is to be the last person to board the plane. Get there really early, sit down, and get to work. You can work while it take the 30 minutes to board instead of just standing around waiting with everyone else. Lastly, get to know your habits and where you are wasting the most time. It will give you the bigger picture so that you will be able to approach the problem better.

Love Yourself
It might sound a bit egotistical right? Like taking a whole mess of selfies and then using a mobile application to get the color just right. The stigma really needs stop, seriously. Self-love also gives you a safety net to take risks and go after your dreams, because you know that no matter what the outcome, you'll be OK -- your self-worth is not on the line. The most important relationship is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself and you cannot just check out. Real self-love is about embracing who you are. Having the courage to show your authentic self to the world without worrying what people will think. At this point the question should not be whether we have souls. It is really a matter of being a soul with a body. The best part of that you do not need to be perfect to be enough. There is no standard that you have to reach to satisfy your friends or family. The only standard that there is or ever will be is that you have to be who you are and no one else. Once you realize those things, you will be well on your way to living life to the absolute fullest.
