To move or not to move, that is the question. Or more accurately, to move using professional movers or not to move using pro movers, that is the real question. While many people may shy away from hiring a moving company due to the cost involved, there are some real solid reasons for going with a moving company come your next move. Here's a look at three advantages that hiring a moving company can bring to your moving experience that you can't get when you move using friends and family.
1. Insurance and Accolades
The Huffington Post suggests that moving companies should come with some standard-issue features. Insurance is a must. That may go without saying. However, it's often easy to overlook this if this sort of information isn't on the company's website. If it's not, be sure to ask. All of this said, the insurance factor should be pretty obvious. If

A good reputation can equal a good move with no broken objects. Always a plus.
2. The Big Stuff
This is a corollary to the first entry of this post. If you have items like antique china cabinets, baby grand pianos, or a king-size bed, hiring professional movers can make these jobs a whole lot easier. Additionally, it's not just with the big stuff that this makes sense. If you have fragile items like the china that goes in said china cabinet, professional movers have been trained to deal with these items. And if you've opted for a company that carries insurance - as you should - this lessens the liability costs of moving these items.
That said, the responsibility for packing these items should fall on you, according to About.com. Any type of valuables should be packed by your hand and marked as fragile. They should also go on an inventory sheet that you sign. Don't agree to anything on the moving company's moving inventory sheet unless you know for sure that it's packed.

“The things they carried were largely determined by necessity. Among the necessities or near-necessities were P-38 can openers, pocket knives, heat tabs, wrist-watches, dog tags, mosquito repellant, chewing gym, candy, cigarettes, salt tablets, packets of Kool-Aid, lighters, matches, sewing kits, Military Payment Certificates, C rations, and two or three canteens of water.” (626-627)
Throughout Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, there is a constant theme about all the things that the soldiers carry. In the opening chapter, The Things They Carried, the soldiers are carrying tangible and intangible items. The tangible items included things they carried like mosquito repellant, pocket knives, wound compress, tents, weapons, and ammunition for the purpose of basic survival in the war. As the rank of the soldiers increase, the responsibility that needed to be carried also increases. Being the highest rank, Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried the compass, maps, and the soldiers’ lives in his hands. Rat Kiley, the medic, carries the pain medication and malaria tablets to keep the men from getting disease. Besides the survival items,
In “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, the word “carry” was used frequently with multiple different meanings. O’Brien first describes the necessities that every soldiers carry such as, “pocket knives, heat tabs, wrist watches, dog tags” which are tangible items (O’Brien 427). O’Brien than goes on to address unique item that individual soldiers carry for example “Kiowa, a devout Baptist, carried an illustrated New Testament” that was a unique item that Kiowa carried that was tangible but it also meant a lot to him and maybe it made him feel protected (428). There might have been many tangible items being carried but the soldiers also carried intangible objects like feeling. O’Brien mentions that “They carried all the emotional baggage”

Buying or selling a house or an apartment is one of the biggest decisions of a person’s life. And when selling or establishing a price for real estate, people seek out real estate agents to do the dirty work. A real estate agent has to convince a prospective homeowner that he or she is trustworthy and knowledgeable. In many ways, the agent acts as a counselor to individuals and families about to embark on a huge commitment. Real estate agents have a thorough knowledge or real estate market in their community. They
Henry Dobbins is the guy who loves to eat so he made sure he took some extra food. Ted Lavender was the scaredy cat of the group so he carried tranquilizers with him. Dave Jense is the paranoid one, so he takes soap and a toothbrush to prevent germs and disease as best he can. Kiowa has a bible with him showing us he is the dedicated religious type. Mitchell Sanders, the funny one, has condoms with him. I'll let you decide on that one. Norman Bowker has a diary and Rat Kiley carried comic books, most likely as a way to "get away" from everything at the end of the day. Regardless of the personal items each one takes, they all share 2 items in common; their boots and their helmets. Almost all of them also have pictures with them but Jimmy Cross takes 2 very special ones. He has 2 pictures of the woman he loves, Martha. What these guys are truly carrying is some extreme emotional and physical troubles. Amongst his personal items Jimmy Cross also takes with him navigation tools. Rat Kiley has with him the medicine, surgical tape, painkillers, and other things that end up weighing alot. Ted Lavender is very scared, so he also has with him a large supply of ammunition. They all carry with them as much as they can. Weather it be for protection or entertainment, including fear and amazement of the thin...
Do you have a reputation? Is it a good idea? Bad? Not a bad idea. How has your reputation influenced your life?

On the other side of the coin- the disadvantages or not so attractive side of the transaction are the following: By setting up and hiring agents (dependent or independent) the company has subject itself to local laws and regulations. There are many different international laws that help out a firm when entering a new foreign market, but there are just as many new host country regulations that Flyboy should consider before making any critical decisions.
Decisions are the foundation of your life. One decision causes a chain reaction that continues throughout your entire life. If you make a bad decision, you could crack or tarnish your reputation. As Ben Franklin said, “Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked, and never well mended.” Keeping your reputation clean is a very important part of getting to high school, getting a job, and succeeding in the future.
“I've known people who had fantastic ideas, but who couldn't get the idea off the ground because they approached everything weakly. They thought that their ideas would somehow take off by themselves, or that just coming up with an idea was enough. Let me tell you something -- it's not enough. It will never be enough. You have to put the idea into action. If you don't have the motivation and the enthusiasm, your great idea will simply sit on top of your desk or inside your head and go nowhere”-Donald Trump. The stock market is just a place where people invest in others ideas for profit. If all stock brokers take a legal oath or some type of legal agreement then there will be fewer frauds will take place. Many stock brokers are trusted with huge amounts of money given by their clients willingly. Their clients give them this money in order for the stock broker to make more of it. Many clients give their money away without any form of documents, just word of mouth. Stock brokers should not be able to manage another’s person money without legal oath, legal document and a professional advisor present. With these check points in place the probability of unsuitability fraud, improper investment advice, hidden cost, over concentration and churning would be much less than it is right now.
