All about perception

I was never a victim. When I learned the facts of business life I decided to play the man's game. It is not difficult to be better than a man. In fact, it's the easiest thing in the world. It's all about perception. You can choose to be a "girl"...cosmetics, shopping or needing hand-holding. Or you can be your own person. Street-smart, saving money, independent and successful in whatever you choose to do. It's all about selling yourself, telling your manager it's a win-win situation when you make her/him give you a 30% salary raise. Self confidence, poise and a wee bit of charisma. This will get you a long way. Of course, you cannot be totally useless at your work but these days it's more about how you present yourself than contents. Sad but true.
