People in general have to do a better job at being selective.

Today's blog message is about selectivity. If you're looking for a job, then you've read the description as to what the employer is looking for. If you're experience & skills are a match, you apply and are called for an interview. The interview is where you showcase what you can do for the company. Whether people want to admit it or not, everyone is selective. Selective when it comes to choosing a mate, car, school, etc. Being selective can be a blessing because you're forced to be very detailed in what you're looking for. You're not looking at the surface, but you're looking at the supporting details that will make up your decision. I don't know about anyone, but I can't afford NOT to be selective. If I'm choosing a mate, I expect her to be detailed as to why she feels I'm the one, and vice versa. Relationships are not to be played with, because a person can make or break you.
If people were more selective, there wouldn't be divorce. I read many articles about couples who used to be on good terms, but they had a falling-out. One person wasn't who (s)he thought, and so on. You can get married with the best intentions, but you truly don't know a person. Couples don't tell each other every thing, some stuff is kept under lock & key. Friends turned enemies, same thing. Gotta be selective in who you call a friend, because some so-called friends are lurking, waiting to turn on you. It takes a lot for me to call someone a friend. I have to feel very comfortable around someone, and we have to vibe in order for me to consider them a friend. Too many people throw the term friend around loosely, when that should not be. "Such and such is my friend," "I've known this person and that person for years," etc. So much pain can be avoided if more people practiced the art of being selective.
