This website
models around how to live a healthy lifestyle by portraying essentials that
contribute to success. This includes things such as relationships, careers,
soul, community and sleep. Dan describes that every new day is a chance to
improve your lifestyle by adjusting a balance between all of the essentials

This is
significant because the advice he gives covers categories that many other
sources do not use such as community and soul. Doing things like giving back to
the community with volunteer work and respecting the environment can go a long
way in a persons lifestyle in order for people to appreciate and value what
they have.

"Choosing
a post-secondary program." Services for Youth. Last modified May 22, 2014.
Accessed December 7, 2015. http://www.youth.gc.ca/eng/topics/education/program.shtml.

This website
covers some of the basic, general, but essential tips to choosing and finding
the right program or field of study to enter. It covers topics such as gaining
transferable skills, internships and co-operative education programs that can
go a long way to aiding a persons interest in a program.

This is
significant because it outlines in a very organized manner all the different
approaches to finding the right program through methods like co-op programs and
apprenticeship. This way, people are not only locked into choosing a program
through what they think they could possibly have interest in.

Corriea,
Alexa Ray. "How to achieve long term goals by changing how we think about
short ones." Polygon. Last modified April 23, 2014. Accessed December 7,
http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/23/5644206/games-4-change-changing-long-term-goals.

The author,
Alexa in this article describes how to achieve long term goals efficiently by
being able to make changes in the present to work towards the future. She
describes how long term goals should not be treated like they are a long way
away. This way, you are constantly working your hardest towards the future.

I found this
significant because it outlined a different perspective on how to look at
long-term goals. Being able to change your work ethic or lifestyle the very
moment you decide on a long-term goal seems to be a reliable way to
consistently achieve them.

Dooley,
Eileen. "How to land the job you want." Canadian Living. Accessed
December 7, 2015.
http://www.canadianliving.com/life/work/how\_to\_land\_the\_job\_you\_want.php.

This article
answers a lot of the common questions people ponder when they attempt at
landing the job they seek. From interviews to the most common mistakes people
make, the article answers them.

I found this
article quite significant because instead of just listing ideas in front of me,
it portrayed the different common questions people ask when trying to get into
a job and answers them. This way, the readers get the information that they are
actually looking for, instead of facts on a webpage that they would then have
to convert into answers to their own questions.

Miller,
Erin. "How do I choose the right program for me?" Maclean's. Last
modified May 22, 2007. Accessed December 7, 2015.
http://www.macleans.ca/education/uniandcollege/how-do-i-choose-the-right-program-for-me/.

This article
was styled similarly to an interview-like read where the author put forward
questions that were answered for people on choosing the right program. Some of
these questions include "What if I don't know what I want to do, but want
to go to University" and "How can a student find out if a program is
actually good?" These questions were then answered by the author, Erin
Miller who puts into great depth an answer to all these questions.

I found this
article useful because it answered the most important questions by the peers as
that is the main goal of the article. Instead of just posting ideas of what the
author thinks is most important, instead Erin Miller is answering what the
students want to know, which essentially is the main goal. I also found some of
the questions quite useful as it outlined in depth and from different views.

Reyes,
Victor. "The Wheel of Wellness." U H W & L C Unique Health
Wellness & Lifestyle Concepts. Accessed December 7, 2015.
http://livelifewell.co/category/wellness/wellness\_life/wellness\_wheels.php.

This website
uses a large image of a wheel that portrays the different essentials to a
healthy lifestyle. The wheel covers a wide span of different essentials
including: environmental, finance, occupational, physical, mental, emotional,
spiritual, social and intellectual. The author also goes into depth of what a
non-healthy living lifestyle is showing a while with large areas in finance and
social. Meaning that people need to avoid thinking about social relations with
friends and finance and put some more time into the other categories.

I found this
significant because it covered many different categories not seen in other
sources. But what I found the most interesting was that they included a section
for what is not a healthy lifestyle where they portrayed finance and social
being massive blobs on the wheel and that we need to pay more attention to
allocating some of that time to everything else.

Scivicque,
Chrissy. "Seven Steps to Break Into a New Career With No Experience."
U.S. News & World Report. Last modified September 27, 2012. Accessed
December 7, 2015. http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2012/09/27/7-steps-to-break-into-a-new-career-with-no-experience.

This website
covers seven steps to getting into your career of choice. These seven steps
include: being willing to start over, getting an education,  volunteering,
being realistic, connections, a good cover letter and giving it time. These
seven steps are portrayed to have the largest impact, especially by using
non-traditional methods like having connections from friends and family to land
a job.

I found this
significant because I found that using non-traditional methods to be impactful
when seeking jobs. People are more than likely to get their career of choice
when they have friends and family who are able to give them a head-start, which
ultimately leads to saving time and possibly earning more money.

Tracy,
Brian. "Strategic Planning Process: How to Achieve Long Term Goals."
Brian Tracy International. Last modified 2013. Accessed December 7, 2015.
http://www.briantracy.com/blog/business-success/the-strategic-planning-process-how-to-set-long-term-goals-thinking-about-the-future-how-to-set-goals/.

This website
talks about how people need to stake short-term steps in order to achieve
long-term goals. Although this article is more focussed on achieving long-term
goals in business it still has relevance to any goal someone is trying to
achieve. The author, Brian, covers three different headers including: how to
set goals for success, developing a sense of direction through planning and
constantly thinking of the future.

I
found this article significant because it shows how long-term goals, no matter
what they are for should be followed through with a similar mindset. Even
though this article was related to business, it still talked about how
constantly thinking of the future and working through short-term goals will
ultimately help achieve what you seek in the future.
