One of the most serious motoring offences that you can commit is driving without a valid driving licence. Having a licence before you start driving is something that is built into our minds as a prerequisite for driving a car from a fairly young age. Yet there are still thousands of people every year caught driving without a licence.

With the offence of driving without a licence, there are different levels of severity, the most minor of which being when the driver does have a licence, but just doesn’t have it on them at the time they get pulled over. The best thing to do in this situation is to be truthful and allow the police to take your car away if they wish to. You can then go home, get your licence, show it to them, apologise for not carrying it, and drive your car home.

The real problem is when people do not have a licence at all and are caught driving on the roads. Somehow, there are a handful of people whove got away with it and have put their stories up on various online forums and even on youtube. However, realistically, there is no way out if you dont have a licence and are caught driving.

There is a bigger problem if your vehicle is in an accident and you are driving without a license. In a case like that, God save you! Depending on what the laws are in that particular state or county, there can be penalties ranging from imprisonment to an impounding of your vehicle and a ban on getting a driving license for life time so that you can never even apply!

The worst penalties however are for if you are found driving after having a ban put on your licence. Even if you are found driving during the period of a temporary ban, the penalties are more severe than with no licence all together. If you are found driving after being issued with a permanent ban on your licence, then you may as well prepare for federal prison because that’s where youre most likely to end up.

Driving without license is a simple attitude problem. An understanding that the rules are there for our convenience will put an end to that attitude.

What if making dreams come true is just so easy? Can we let go of our doubts? Is it possible? How can we do it so magically so that it is as easy as brushing our teeth? This excerpt from ONE Book by Masami Sato shows us exactly how to do it step-by-step, preparing you to start walking towards your dreams today.

All of us have dreams. But all of us do not have faith in ourselves so that we can have those dreams and live them in our lifetime. In fact, the secret to have such assuredness is simple. And the reason why we hesitate so much is also straightforward.

Let’s begin with the first question that we can ask ourselves

Why don’t we do the things we want to do?

Often, our thinking stops our actions. Often the more we think about it, the less we usually are committed to achieve what we originally wanted to do. Often the more we think about something, we come up with a greater number of reasons for not doing it.

Then is it possible to be certain that we will definitely accomplish what we want to do in our life?

Sure, absolutely! To start with, let us look at the power of habits

If we are scheduled to go to a meeting tomorrow night, we wouldn’t spend lots of time thinking whether we can get there or not. We wouldn’t be concerned about the chance of having a car accident and missing the appointment. Just like when we are walking to the bathroom, we wouldn’t worry that the toilet might be broken!

We have so much more sureness about these types of ‘normal’ activities we indulge in every day. They are the habits.

But, we doubt our dreams

Interestingly, there are so many things we are not so sure about. Especially the things we really want to do in our life - our Dreams!

Then, what is the secret for the conviction that we will accomplish our dreams?

First: Decide to make it a daily habit!

We can get started by being more confident about our acts meant to meet our desires - the type of dreams that actually fosters our life.

As for example, if your dream is to be a factor in improving society, and it is an important desire in your life, it will be possible for you to play that role and contribute to society. It can easily be made one of your daily habits.

Second: Try to make it as important (and as much easy) as brushing teeth..

Realising dreams can be just like brushing one’s teeth. It simply doesn’t feel nice if we do not brush our teeth for pretty long, isn’t it? We can’t bother to spend hours considering which toothpaste we should use or wait to clean teeth till there is some need to do so. We feel a little out of sorts if our teeth are not clean. So we clean them. That is all!

Coming back to our example, if giving is so important to us, we have to ask ourselves certain questions: What if giving is in fact of as much importance as brushing our teeth? What if it is making us feel good? What if it is helping to maintain our health?

No matter whether we have a lot or very little just now, we can definitely start giving it and sharing it with others today. No matter how seemingly unbelievable it is to fulfil our dreams, we can start proceeding towards them today. We should view it as something crucial, a priority issue that we should practice every day! Then we would feel unhappy if we don’t do it. Just like brushing our teeth.

and Third: Always give first, then we will get

When we give first before we actually fully have what we really want - what we dream of - we send a very powerful message to ourselves that says, “there is enough, and more will come”. It allows us to experience the joy today - the joy of giving.

If you want to be rich, be generous. And you’ll be blessed with abundance. If you want to be superbly intelligent, don’t be afraid to teach others. And you’ll know more. If you want to give, just give selflessly. Do not attach any expectation of return. Just let go. And joy will automatically be rewarded to you. The simple joy of giving.

So do not be hesitant to dole out and share what you have, for it will not prevent you from achieving your purpose, whatever it is. It will only help you to realise your dreams more easily. And your journey through that path would be full of joy.

But are not habits smaller, in comparison with our BIG dreams?

Just do it, don’t worry about the ’scale’

Anything can happen in life. Things may develop in a small way. And these small things might take us to another action, and that will connect to another. The sureness we feel about our actions, and managing them one by one, keeps on taking us forward. But if we think that it is not possible to do something now, just because it is a little formidable, it simply will not happen.

The secret of achieving one’s dreams has always been there, and it will always be there. Those who are winners, who have inspired others, and have known perfect joy, have realized this. They are continuously using it.

Dreams and miracles are not accidents. We create them through our choices.

So, would you probably start going towards your dreams today?

Does a job seekers resume jive with their background and employment history. It behooves the interviewers or full set of those involved in the hiring process to dig deeper . Trust but verify are the watchwords.

Its not only in the workplace does “cheating” occur. It is almost endemic in the university and college circuits as well. Everyone wants to “get ahead”. Marks and educational documentation and record means everything. And after all “everyone is doing it”.

It can be said that in most cases , life can down to simple basics. What could be easier during the interview and hiring process than to ask questions , check and verify. All it takes in most cases is a simple phone call , email or fax.

Its often just a simple matter of taking the time to work through and down the resume or resumes. Few managers and those delegated or assigned in the interview setups and processes take the time or employ simple common sense when it comes to these matters. Go into any big box store 2 or 3 months later and look for a familiar face or faces. It seems that even though these firms have well laid out interview processes and series , that management invested many many hours and corporate expense that even though a clear process exists , its just a river to flow down, few actually take the time and effort to do serious follow up on most candidates. Hence a great amount of wasted time and effort is spent in the interview , hiring and training segments of these profit centers.

Some basis’s and standards to rule by. First of all study the candidate or candidate’s accomplishments. Are they reasonable to a point ? Do you or the group evaluate that this individual can really achieve this goal or sets of goals and hold a high standard of performance as well ? On top of that do you note , catch or imply a sense or any notion of evasiveness that may prevail ?

One interesting point to note in the limelight. Excellent and even exceptional references are sometimes suspect. It seems that if a business , firm or organization really wants to get rid of a character or a laggard which is slowing their team down , hampering efficiency and effectiveness , or pulling staff morale down , then often the best course to take to get rid of this incompetent or troublemaker it to “give them a good or great reference”. This way their problem or sets of problems are solved - however at your expense as well as frustration level.

In many cases now hiring and hiring errors and mistakes are dealt with on a team basis. A good and effective manager knows that his “job” is to hire good people and candidates for the “team”. Once hired the team takes over. Add a group based efficiency , customer service level and final bottom line profit based and determined reward bonus to the mix. The team on the sale , product or front lines will effectively police and manage the situation and series of events. If after all a serious and thorough evaluation of job application candidates is done, it will be the employee team who will deal with the situation or series of events. In most cases they will demand of the apprentice worker to either shape up or ship out.
