Work smarter and harder and longer to find your dream

Article Abstract:

It can be very frightening to give up a well-paid job to begin a completely new career. However, taking this step can also be very positive, especially if it unlocks new talents. Those who have done so have been able to escape the frustration of their existing career, and have generally benefited from being able to express themselves more fully. However, it is important to be slightly cautious, ensuring that you think through all the implications carefully before making a dramatic change in direction.

Cherie is no prima donna

Article Abstract:

Inviting Cherie Blair, wife of UK Labour party leader Tony Blair, to act as guest editor for the Oct 1996 issue of women's magazine Prima was not designed simply to attract publicity, according to Lindsay Nicholson, the magazine's permanent editor. She had full involvement in putting the issue together, including choosing dressmaking patterns and recipes and developing features and ideas for regular sections. She reads the magazine regularly, and is very interested in homemaking and health issues.
