You don't want to reveal personal information to a nosy newcomer. When someone asks probing questions, you should politely avoid answering. There's no reason you should lay your soul bare for someone you hardly know. In these days of reality television, lots of people have become accustomed to airing their dirty laundry in public. You have a different philosophy. When you feel the urge to talk, you confide in one or two trusted friends. Beyond that, your lips are sealed.

You're determined to reach your career goals. The best way to do this is to expand your skill set. Be willing to acquire abilities that can be easily transferred to different fields.

Set some money aside for souvenirs that can only be purchased at your destination.

An upsurge of anger will prompt you to make a change. You're tired of going along with a status quo that offends your sensibilities.

Don't be surprised when people rally behind you. Everyone has been frustrated with an unfair situation for some time. Once you address it publically, people will scramble to fix it.

You have the ability to bring out the best in others with positive reinforcement. Instead of focusing on people's weaknesses, praise their strengths.

Take this opportunity to reconnect. Plan a special outing that is geared to your amour's taste. Your efforts will be rewarded.

Once you get the basics down, you'll notice an immediate improvement in your work.
