You can trust someone who has strong ethical standards. Ask their advice whenever you are faced with a moral question. Their guidance will help you maintain a sterling reputation. Taking advantage of a bureaucratic loophole may be legal, but it is also sneaky. It's better to take a more straightforward approach to business. If someone expects a bribe, you should file an official report. Ignoring corrupt behaviour is almost as bad as sanctioning it.

Providing people with superior service makes you a superstar. Some colleagues are jealous of your success. Try not to take their jokes personally. You're intent on achieving career success. Being the best worker in your division will help you leapfrog from one position to another. Soon, you'll be at the top of the food chain. Landing a dream job always takes hard work and sacrifice. If you're willing to go the extra mile now, you'll land in a soft place sooner than expected.

Falling head over heels in love is a distinct possibility. It will be difficult to resist the charm of a tasteful person with a sharp intellect. Your conversations will last long into the evening, giving you lots of exciting things to review. Are you already in a relationship? Take this opportunity to plan a fun holiday with your amour. Exploring a cosmopolitan city together will strengthen your mutual affection. You'll both enjoy the thrill of discovering restaurants, shops and historical sites.

Your family is being very supportive of your plans. If you have become stressed and anxious from work, it may be wise to take time away from your job. Let your relatives pamper you with tender loving care while you recuperate. You're capable of doing a demanding job well, but the situation you have experienced is extraordinary. Instead of forcing yourself to remain in a toxic situation, leave for greener pastures. By the time you have calmed down, it will be easier to make a new plan.

Communicating with the public is one of your specialties. You know how to create an upbeat atmosphere with a few encouraging words. When you have to deliver disappointing news, you manage to do so with a minimum of fuss. Instead of stringing people along with false promises, you try to give people an accurate timeline of when to expect progress. This makes the waiting game much easier. Your employer will be impressed by what positive feedback you receive from customers. This will give you an added measure of freedom.

When you do what you love, the money will follow. Your best friend or romantic partner isn't very supportive about your career plans. They're convinced you can't make a decent living from your desired line of work. Turn a deaf ear to their protests. Focus on taking advantage of every job opportunity you can get. It may be necessary to serve as an apprentice or intern at this stage of your career. Grin and bear it. You'll be working around the clock, but eventually you'll strike gold.

An ardent admirer causes your confidence to soar. Use your enhanced self-esteem as a launch pad to a bold project. Starting a novel, beginning a painting or doing preliminary sketches for a design takes courage. Once you take the plunge, it will become easier and easier to develop your work. A respected teacher or expert will praise your efforts, asking to see more. You'll have to work hard to maintain their approval, so prepare to put in some long hours.

Helping disadvantaged people makes you feel better about the world and your place in it. Watching gloomy news stories affects your outlook. After a while, you see people as dangerous and unpredictable. Resist this impulse as much as you possibly can. Join groups dedicated to shining light in the darkness. Socialise with optimists who do work they enjoy. Being happy is a choice. It's often a matter of choosing a more upbeat environment. Steer clear of pessimists and naysayers.

Every close relationship is bound to undergo strain. When you argue with your best friend or romantic partner, stay calm. It's better to express your frustration than bury your feelings. The key to productive arguing is mutual respect. It's fine to criticise your other half, as long as you aren't insulting. If you have to deliver criticism, make sure it is constructive. Don't dwell on petty details that will only cause discouragement. Instead, concentrate on one or two problems and offer practical solutions.

People are impressed with your ability to stay calm in stressful situations. This will help you enormously with the pressure from work. While your predecessors had difficulty handling criticism and quickly changing needs, you'll handle these challenges with ease. That's because you take the time to learn policies and make sure they are implemented properly. When people challenge your methods, you should refer them to the rules. If they aren't willing to obey regulations, they'll have to go.

A gifted teacher will tell you what you are doing wrong. Are you courageous enough to accept some harsh criticism? The negative feedback you receive isn't designed to crush your ego. It's meant to bring you to a higher level of mastery. It will be necessary to break some bad habits and improve your performance. If this means having to do routine work over and over again until you get it right, so be it. Put your ego on hold.

Despite projecting a laid-back attitude, you're exacting when it comes to meaningful work. Instead of accepting second best, you demand superior materials. When the budget doesn't allow for good resources, you're prone to walk away from the job. Some people attribute this attitude to being overly fastidious, but you see it as a matter of principle. You don't want your name attached to shoddy work. If someone else is willing to do a bad job for a discount, that's their problem.
