Problem: Article: Maybe you don't want to tell anyone about your crush, but you also don't want to keep everything bottled up inside. Instead, write down your emotions in a journal. For example, note what you like about your crush, how they make you feel, what you wish would happen, etc. Remember that your journal is for your eyes only, so don't hold back! Let your thoughts flow freely and write whatever comes to mind. You can also type out your thoughts in a Microsoft Word document on your laptop or in the Notes app on your phone if you'd like. Journal as often as you want to or need to. You can set aside time every day to do it, or simply write when the inspiration strikes. For instance, you might just journal after you have a run-in with your crush. If you just have to talk to someone how you're feeling, but you don't want to tell your crush, open up to a friend who you trust. Remind them that they cannot tell anyone else, and that whatever you say has to stay between the 2 of you. Then, let the gushing begin! For example, start the conversation with something like, "I have something important I want to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone, not even our other friends, okay? It's really personal." Pick a private place, like in your bedroom or in the car, to have these conversations. You don't want anyone to overhear who isn't supposed to. Don't tell your friends about your crush if you don't trust them or if they have a reputation for being unable to keep things to themselves. Choose wisely who you tell. If you're worried about your friends accidentally spilling your secret, talk about your crush to your parents or older siblings instead. They can give you advice on how they've dealt with their own crushes, too. Crushing on someone isn't all bad. In fact, it can be super exciting! Allow yourself to feel those butterflies in your stomach and dream about the perfect date with your special someone. You can also embrace your new romantic side by listening to love songs, watching romantic movies, or reading sappy poetry, for example. To prevent your crush fantasies from consuming your time and life, schedule time to think about your crush, as silly as it sounds. For example, set a timer for 20 minutes every night before bed. After those 20 minutes are up, turn your attention to something else. When you have a crush, you tend to start thinking of them as this perfect person, which makes your obsession even worse and it makes it hurt even more if they reject you. Brainstorm what isn't so great about them, like whether they aren't into horseback riding like you are or whether they dated your best friend last year. Write the list on a piece of paper or keep it on your phone, then look at it whenever you feel that you're getting carried away. The "flaws" can be whatever makes them less than your ideal person, no matter how picky or insignificant those characteristics seem. For example, maybe your crush is exactly your height, but you prefer someone taller than you.
Summary: Journal about what you're feeling if you aren't ready to talk about it. Tell your friend about your secret crush if you feel comfortable. Enjoy the fun of having a crush by letting yourself fantasize sometimes. Come up with a list of their flaws to put things in perspective.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: New York City and Silicon Valley will always have a high number of tech jobs. Other growing tech hubs include Portland, OR, Denver, CO, Salt Lake City, UT, Minneapolis, MN, Boston, MA, Baltimore, MD, San Diego, CA, Seattle, WA, Cleveland, OH, Chicago, IL, Dallas and Austin, TX and Atlanta, GA. Technology recruiters or head hunters are still used widely in the technology sector. In fact, many major companies like Apple and Google almost always use recruiters to find employees, rather than posting listings in the traditional way. Recruiters do the work of seeking out high-paying jobs for you, and they make money by receiving a fee for finding excellent employees. Market yourself to several recruiting companies based in your area. You never know who will have the best contacts, and they can also help you to improve your resume and interviewing skills. Recruiters look for tech professionals on Monster, Career Builder, Craigslist and other websites. In order to optimize your resume on search results, use the word "resume" in the body of the document. Also, specify all applicable experience, including buzz words like "software," "Android" "data analysis" and other descriptive words. One way to ensure you start in technology with a high-paying job, is to aim to work for those companies that report high starting and median salaries. Search for jobs with these companies on their websites, on job boards and by contacting their human resources department and talent acquisitions manager. Information on these companies is often listed in articles on the Internet. In 2012, the highest-paying tech companies were Nokia, Intel, eBay, Oracle, Google, Adobe, Yahoo, Nvidia, Salesforce and Microsoft. You should assume that any companies listed in these articles will have the largest competition for high-paying jobs. Seek and apply for promotions internally. Even as you seek other, more profitable work, it is good to show that you have been found to be a valuable employee who can hold a senior role. Achieving this level of education can help you move up to an administrative or architect role more quickly.

SUMMARY: Move to technology hubs to increase your salary and job prospects. Find a technology recruiter. Post your resume online. Research jobs with the highest-paying tech companies. Move to management or senior level positions at a company. Consider seeking a master's degree in computer science or business administration.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you shy away from compliments because you don't want to appear conceited or full of yourself, recognize that you deserve recognition. It's not conceited to accept a compliment. If someone points out that you look nice or did a great job on a project, acknowledge that you put work into it and that they are recognizing you. For example, if you put a lot of work into a presentation and someone says, "Great presentation!" acknowledge your hard work by saying, "Thanks! I worked hard on it." You might feel tempted to disagree with the comment as a way to appear humble. However, by saying things like, "It was nothing" or, "Don't mention it," you downplay your role, the compliment, and the person giving it. Besides, the person might feel rejected if you disagree. For example, if someone compliments your clean house, resist the urge to say, "I haven't cleaned in a week. It looks horrible!" This might make them feel bad or that you think they are sloppy. Take a moment and reflect on the compliments you receive. Whether you believe them or not, take the chance to see how others see you. You might learn something about yourself or the work you do and feel more positively. For example, if you often receive compliments about your job performance, that means that other people are noticing the great work you do. Understand that your self-evaluations will tend to be harsher or more demanding than other people's evaluations of you. If you find yourself constantly second-guessing compliments, maybe there is something you need to change about your self-evaluations. If you feel good about yourself, you may feel good when someone else notices something positive about you. Increasing your self-esteem can make you less resistant to compliments. Do this by thinking positively about yourself and recognizing your worth. For example, write down the things you like about yourself and think about them when you feel low.
Summary:
Own your strengths. Avoid disconfirming the compliment. See yourself the way that others see you. Boost your self-esteem.
