The Laundry Has Never Been More Fun Or The Pitfalls To Working At Home by Helaine Iris As a home-based, self-employed woman, mundane tasks can be as compelling to me as chocolate. Laundry. Dishes. Email. Try as I might to stay focused on running my business, at times, these uninspiring tasks beckon to me as a moth to a flame. Why, you might ask, do I compare the common task of laundry to the delightful and satisfying experience of chocolate? It’s not that I adore the opportunity to do household chores, but sometimes any distraction is easier and more enjoyable than hunkering down ... Addiction to Talking by Margaret Paul, Ph.D. There is an old joke about people who talk a lot: “Do you know the 12-Step program for people who talk a lot? On and On Anon!” The joke recognizes that fact that incessant talking is a common addiction. Non-stop talking is about using others for attention and approval because of not giving oneself enough attention and approval. The talker is not actually offering anything to the listener. Instead, the talker, in going on and on with a monologue, is pulling energy from the listener. People who en ... Keeping Your New Years Resolutions by Melanie Mendelson New Year is the time when we usually look back on the events of the past year, see what we learned from it and what we achieved. Then we make resolutions for the upcoming year, all the things that we want to change and accomplish in our life. Unfortunately, New Year's resolutions are often synonymous with empty promises. Nobody takes them seriously anymore, since we all know that most people break their resolutions within the first week of January. Here are the top 5 tips on how to actually KE ... How Could Choosing to Not Do It All Enhance Your Impact? by Susan Edwards How often have you heard yourself say, ”I’ve got so many balls in the air I don’t know how I can possibly keep track of them all”. We may be managing to keep the balls in motion, but how good is our juggling performance really? Are our movements controlled and rhythmic? Or are we merely gritting our teeth and hoping to catch the next ball before it falls on the ground? Recently I was speaking with a colleague (we'll call him Craig) who is a high achievement-oriented and well-regarded senior m ... The Burning Bush by Gary Whittaker Terrorism. The U.S rightly attacked Afghanistan when they refused to give up Bin Laden. For this, I have to trust that the Americans knew what they were doing, since they were involved with setting up Bin Laden and Afghanistan in the first place. That does not, however, give them the right to bite the hand that feeds them. It is what happens hereafter that should give us all pause for concern. Many times, causes or wars are pure in their infancy, but grow into new animals. This did not take lon ... The Power Of Goal Achievement Is In The Habit by Josh Hinds You had your new year's resolution all planned out. This was your year to insert your missed goal here :-) . You knew exactly what you needed to do; maybe you even got off to a blazing start! You were absolutely sure this was going to be your year! This goal is as good as in the bag you thought. Then - BAM! - You suddenly realized that your goal is nowhere in sight. Does this sound familiar? If you answered yes let me assure you that you're not alone. If this has happened to you, here’s an app ... Every Art Masterpiece is a Forgery! by Tobias Lars I'm walking down a section of Oak Creek here in Sedona Arizona where the water has literally cut into the Red Rock itself. The river bottom and walls are solid red rock carved in waves and curves of amazing shapes finer than any sculptor could conceive of. It is so beautifully conceived-birthed by Nature that I feel a thrill of energy flowing through me. I am stopped in my tracks...my world stops. I pause, as I stand still it all comes to a stand still. I look around at the giant boulder perched ... Leave It! Perceive It! Believe It! – The Power of Vision by Richard Gorham ”Dissatisfaction and discouragement are not caused by the absence of things, but the absence of vision.” – Anonymous This article in for anyone who is currently unsure, unknowing, on-the-fence, and/or otherwise “searching” for the answer to whether or not he/she can be an effective leader. The answer? Quite simply is: “Maybe” or “Maybe Not”! No, we are not trying to be funny or in any way make light of the question. The simple truth of the matter is this. Whether you think you can be an effect ... Underwater Photography: The Wonders Under the Sea by Colin Hartness The world of photography is an amazing one. It’s been with us for quite a while now but it is constantly changing. Cameras are changing and improving. Methods of developing are changing and improving as well.

Improve Your Comprehension and Reading Speed by Magda Santos Today most universities have courses that help students learn to read quickly and critically. Harvard has a class that has been in existence since the 1940’s. It teaches students how to read fast with a level of understanding that includes analysis and evaluation. These classes are evidence that reading faster does not have to take away from understanding what we read. Critical reading techniques help comprehension. They help you decide the value of what you’re reading and focus you on a purpose ... Kissing The Cobra by Wayne and Tamara Direct Answers – Column for the week of January 3, 2005 I am currently separated from my husband who is having an affair. We've been married four years, and we just bought a condominium. Things were looking hopeful. We've had some challenges, including him not working much while I supported him emotionally and financially. For the past seven months he's had a steady income, thus we bought the condo. He cruelly announced to me in an unsafe place--at a conference where I had professional commitmen ... What Turns Them On? Pt.2 by Andre Leblanc 5. The Derrier A rounded peach shaped buttock is considered most attractive for men. The woman’s buttocks stores fat for breast feeding and storage for lean times. This is also why bigger buttocks are also considered attractive. If you where to look at past females they would purposely try to make their buttocks seem larger. But today this is seen as bad health and over-indulgence. Designer jeans help in giving the buttocks a firm rounded look. High heel shoes make your back arch and push your ...

Having Fun In Leadership by Richard Gorham ”Don't measure your life by your goals, but rather by what you are DOING to achieve them.” –Unknown One of the biggest mistakes leaders make is getting so wrapped up in achieving results, they forget to ensure that people are having fun along the way.

A Recipe for Alchemy by Keith Varnum Grandma has a scrumptious, old-family recipe for chocolate pecan pie that melts in your mouth. Uncle Bert whips up a killer BBQ sauce for ribs (or grilled tofu). I’ve discovered a more direct route to happiness—a tantalizing recipe for alchemy! According to Webster’s dictionary, alchemy is not simply change, but rather “permanent transformation.” Alchemy is a metamorphosis—a lasting, complete change in form. Transmutation. Alchemy is like the caterpillar after it comes out of the cocoon, having ... Meeting Mickey Mantle - His Idol by Aron Wallad Meeting Mickey Mantle would be a dream comes true. A dream realized for Dan on his 38th birthday, when his wife honored him with a week long stay at the Yankee Fantasy Camp in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dan played with some of the Yankee legends: Bobby Murcer, Mickey Rivers, Ron Guidry, Moose Skowron and Catfish Hunter. The games were great and being on the same field with some of the players he had watched on TV or at Yankee Stadium was mesmerizing. But what made the week particularly special w ... Does Introspection Assist in Self Progression? by Brian Maloney Why would we need to examine our lives? What benefit does it yield? Isn’t it just rehashing the past? All of these questions have merit and I will examine each in this article. Self progression has a strong tie to one’s willingness to be able to reflect on pertinent decisions. Moreover, this task, if done daily and immediately after an action or decision, can bear much fruit. Have you ever sat and stared out at something beautiful like a glassy lake or a foggy mountain and simply thought abou ... It’s More Important than Batting Practice by Tony Papajohn It was a night of focus and inspiration. On October 20, 2004, the Boston Red Sox made history. They became baseball’s first team to win a best-of-seven post-season series after losing the first three games. And they did it against arch-rival New York in Yankee Stadium. Even if you are not a sports fan, here are some lessons you can use to turn any situation around. When things stink and they have stunk for awhile (you lost three in a row), the best way to turn things around is to forget how ... Motivational Operations by Brent Filson There's an inexorable law operating in business. I call it the law of UP — Unfulfilled Potential. One can see aspects of this law working in other areas: For instance, in neurophysiology, humans are supposed to use only a fraction of our brains' capabilities; in technology, superconductivity is not yet widely available; and in medicine, the harnessing of the body's abilities to fight cancers is only just beginning to be understood and realized. But the law of UP is particularly dominant in the ... Imagine Having $42,000,000 You Can’t Spend! by Tony Papajohn Which lesson would you draw from this? “Crime doesn’t pay?” or “Murphy strikes again?” Here’s a story that could be fiction if it wasn’t true. On Sunday, December 19, 2004, a gang of Belfast, Northern Ireland, robbers initiated a daring 24-hour plan to rob the Northern Bank. While holding family members of two executives hostage, they made off with the staggering sum of $42,000,000.
