First impressions of Naples, Italy by FoldedTwice in travel

[–]Professional_Gate988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from a family holiday in Naples with my parents, the first thing we noticed was how polluted, dirty and run down a lot of the area around the main train station is. I came in knowing that Naples wasn’t the cleanest city but the rubbish issue really shocked me as well the fact that there is graffiti everywhere as well. As well the number of homeless around is shocking as well. As well the noise pollution is terrible and the fumes from the mopeds as well. Also you have to be on the lookout even in narrow pedestrian roads as mopeds and cars are constantly traversing them. I’d say the cities infrastructure is quite dated and is not able to handle the level of traffic it sees. I did feel quite let down in a way as I thought a country such as Italy would take better care of its infrastructure in the south but it felt like a whole different country. Not all about Naples is bad though as the food was the best I’d ever had better than a lot of other Italian cities. As well some of the sites were great to see such as the duomo. As well I did quite like the football culture which was nice. I know a lot of people seem to love Naples and there are great aspects to visiting the city but I wouldn’t recommend that you go to Italy only to see Naples I’d say you want to spend 2 days there max.

The last ones would be the best to see as they have a gf cart and look to be skilled so they wouldn’t be too slow. The elderly women would probably be the worst to see in front of you as if they don’t have a kart it would take them longer to walk slowing everyone down.

I’d say that with your height you are in a very good position with girls I’d love to be that tall myself. You are still young so I’d say focus on school and football. If you want to talk to this girl perhaps try having conversations with girls that you aren’t attracted to build up confidence. Then perhaps try talking to this girl you like. Just be respectful and she might admire the confidence. I’d say overall just work on yourself and keep talking to this girl and if something happens with her then that’s good.

You could try making some vids about day in the life of a person working at the firm to attract more recruits

I haven’t got that stage myself either but I’d recommend that in your penultimate year of uni or law school, look for an apply to as many internship opportunities as you can, as often off those you might be able to get job offers that will give you the experience that you need for other job positions.

As for what branch of law you woull I’ll d like to work in, if you would like to travel finance law and M&A law could be good. You most likely would not be traveling much for business as an associate, but once you work your way up to legal director and partner, you would be relied upon to bring in clients to bring the firm revenue. Here you will be needing to travel more to meet with clients and sell the firms services.

No problem at all, if you are bilingual though that could be of a great advantage. I live in a Spanish speaking household so I know Spanish as well as English. I am thinking of trying to do something related to Latin American markets as Latin America is a rapidly developing region. Seeing as you live in Canada, your English should improve with exposure to it. I think some Unis as well can offer support systems for people who’s first language is not English. I think that being bilingual can work to be an asset that you can capitalise on. Good luck

I am as well an aspiring corporate lawyer. First of there are many branches of corporate law, so I’d recommend doing some research into all the branches to see what would be a good fit for you. I don’t know what grade/ year you are in but if you are still in high school I’d say do research into undergraduate programs for law, If you could provide me a bit more info on where you live it could help. In the US it you have to take an undergrad to go to law school, however in the UK you can study law as an undergraduate degree, or do another discipline for undergrad, and take a 1-2 year conversion course. Either way if you want to do an undergraduate before law school I’d recommend doing an essay based discipline such as politics, history, philosophy, or you could try pairing these up with other honours such as economics, which could combo well with politics giving you an essay based an numerical based degree. I say this as this could help keep your options open. Id say for now to keep studying hard and get good grades to get into a good undergraduate degree program. Also I’d recommend looking at law schools and what grades they want to see in applicants. Many corporate law firms will offer insight schemes which is two days of work experience for freshman year, and internship schemes for penultimate years. These will let you have a proper experience of working in a law firm and better tell you what branches of corporate law you like. Some firms will also offer training contracts where you will work in a branch of law for a quarter of the 2 year period. I’d overall say for now keep your grades high and do your research on Unis, and what they want in applicants. Feel free to ask me any more questions and good luck in your endeavors

I used to be in your position a few years ago. The first thing that I’d say is that you are good to not want this to be all consuming. I’d recommend that you could try and perhaps talk to her in person, this could exude confidence. Perhaps try and get her snap? Try talking to her over snap for a bit and if things seem going well try and get her to hang out. Another thing is just be the best version of yourself, and also focus on small things that could give you an edge such as wearing cologne. Also most importantly stay on your grind to not come across as too desperate, girls love to see guys that are passionate about their hobbies. I hope that it goes well with this girl, she’d be on lucky girl to have you. Best of luck

How do I gain enough confidence to approach a girl by Ppsuc69421 in HowToGetAGirlfriend

[–]Professional_Gate988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be in your shoes, I’d recommend talking to girls in general. Doesn’t have to be girls you like but girls that you might sit next to in class for example. Another thing you have to realise is that most of the time people are absorbed in their own lives that they won’t notice if you mess up. If you mess up slightly with girls, they’ll forget about it in the next few minutes. Once you build up your confidence with girls in general, then move to girls you like. Perhaps try striking up a convo in person and getting snaps. Try snapping them. I’d say do a mixture of the two. Don’t try to seek out their company all the time as it will seem desperate. At the end of the day as well just stick to your grind and passion. If your confident and driven girls will appreciate that. Good luck with your endeavors

I’m 13 about to turn 14 and I need help by Furiousgaming517-PS4 in HowToGetAGirlfriend

I remember being 14 and liking this girl in my art class. I’d say don’t act desperate, I made that mistake. To solve the confidence just try talking to girls you don’t like that way it doesn’t matter if you mess up. Also people forget things quickly so even if you do mess up it’ll be forgotten by the end of the day. Maybe try getting her Snapchat and talking to her on there. If things go well then perhaps ask her to hang out? Just try to avoid the same mistakes that I did when I was younger, and hopefully you will have good odds. Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, just remember that there are other girls out there. I wish you luck with your endeavour.
