Book Review:
Words to live by:
"We all fit in because non of us belongs any where. And, boy, what you can learn; dirty words in every language and the fact that nobody is just a typist, just a dishwasher, just a cook, just a porter, just a prostitute. that everyone has a story. Everyone has at least one story that will stop your your heart. "
What makes this story so touching is the fact that it presents the truth that money is hard to earn. Blown Sideways through Life is a revelation. An eye-opener, that teaches how hard it is to survive in the world of employment and financial stability. It deals on Claudia’s (the stories lead character) journey in finding herself, her happiness and fighting for survival, day by day in the world of business and service.
It is a tour de resume or the hunting for the appropriate job. Which involves, coping up with strict and mean bosses that go with the hiring package. Also, adjusting to people called your mean co-workers.
It is all about learning to love yourself, amidst all the criticism you see in the mirror.
Talking to people, you worked for in your sexiest voice and dealing with your costumers always best foot forward.
Chatting to people who work for you, in the same manner you talk to people you work for.
In other words:" it’s a one-size fits all propositions.”
IMPACT

You might be throwing money at the counter, nagging at the waiter about your delayed coffee or doughnut order.
YUP! You have the rights and the guts to complain, and in business terms they put it as “the costumer is always right.” However, before you start turning hysterical over your delayed doughnut or coffee order. Please, for godsake calm down and think of things this way.
The waiter your about to nag probably works at this doughnut station underpaid, suffering from the oppressive commands of his/her menial boss. I am not saying all bosses are mean, what I am trying to imply here though, is for you to be a little considerate as a costumer.
Just think of it this way.
With just one nag and complain to the manager, she might instantly be fired out from her job. Thus, you ruined not only her career or job as waiter but you also ruining the hopes and dreams of her family waiting for her support.
Thus, I say. Complain only when the times really, really require it!
After all, respect from us costumers is a thing their salary cannot even compensate.
