Tsunami Donations: Please Help Asia Recover and Save Lives by Glenn Prialde December 26, 2004, the world was in immense shock of the horrible thing that struck South Asia. Killer waves just came unexpectedly crushing and rumbling everything that was in its way. People ran, climbed, cried, and quite a number of them died. Not many were very lucky to climb tress, hold on to a post, or reach higher grounds and survived. As accounted, more than 160,000 deaths were recorded and the death toll is still increasing until now and what’s worst is that most of the bodies get harde ... Who Is Jim Edwards and Why Is He One of My Mentors and Heroes? by Chris J Lloyd Jim is best known in the internet marketing field. I first came across him through his ebook 'Turn Words Into Traffic' and the audio course 'Affiliate Marketing Blueprint', both of which are partly responsible for my site coming into existence! I love Jim's straight talking style and sense of humour, so when he announced that he was launching a program describing how he turned his life around from being bankrupt and living in a trailer to his present day success, I couldn't wait to get hold of a ... How Thinking With Consequential Logic Creates A Better Life by Brian Maloney Foresight is a tool we should all have in our war chests. However, many of us disregard this critical thought process. If I drink this much and drive my car, I just might crash, killing myself or someone else. If I talk about my boss behind his back to the wrong person, I could get fired for some trivial reason. Almost everyone knows the difference between right and wrong, but do we all apply thinking with consequential logic before committing our wrongs? Probably not. The reasons are plenty, b ... Ringing Doorbells Without Howitzers by Brent Filson Many operations leaders have been there, done that with re-engineering. And they report, in effect, that the process is like ringing a doorbell with a howitzer shell. Reducing costs through wholesale layoffs ostensibly tied to ultimate results provides quick hits on balance sheets, but its clumsy blows can raise hell with operations. Operational results can be achieved consistently with precision and power not when people are taken out of the organization but instead put back in. Putting peop ... Why "New Month Resolutions" Are Better than New Year's Resolutions by Dr. Stephen Kraus, Success Scientist Nearly half of Americans make New Year's resolutions, but only about 15% are able to keep them over the long-term. In other words, about 85% break their resolutions, with as many as 20% breaking them in the first week! Perhaps the single most important thing you can do to be more successful in keeping your resolution and making life changes is this: don't make New Year's resolutions – make New Month resolutions instead. Let's face it: If you only take stock of where are and where you want to go ... Top 5 Reasons Why You're Not Living Your Dream by Leila Johnson 1. “I’m too old to make a change.” Maybe you’re over 30 and settled in your career. You don’t even want to think about making a move somewhere else. Besides, at this point in your life, you’re supposed to be doing what you want, right? For some reason we seem to think that we have to “act our age”. But what does that mean? Where is there a definition of what it means to be a certain age? The next time you think you’re too old to make a change, think about Colonel Sanders and Wally Amos. Age is ... Getting Comfortable in Your Own Skin by Leila Johnson What does it mean to be comfortable in your own skin? It’s about expressing yourself in a way they feels the most appropriate. When we think about expressing ourselves, we automatically think of the superficial ways. How we dress. The way we wear our hair. The car we drive. If you wear jeans and a T-shirt one day and a business suit the next, what is it expressing about you? Is it that you are sophisticated one day and unsophisticated the next? Actually, your outer appearance expresses very lit ...

How to Deliver Exceptional Customer Service by Chas Brothers Having been in business a number of years, I’m amazed at the number of people who don’t have the slightest idea of what customer service is. Customer service is not a way of doing things – it’s an attitude. I always love it when company’s send their people to seminars to learn about customer service. All the seminars will discuss the customer’s needs and expectations and the orator will package these ideas as new and cutting edge when in fact these very ideas were in practice over 30 years ago! ... Budgeting Made Easy by Gene Simmons Well, dang! From what I’ve heard and read, it looks like we’ve reached an all-time world-class new record in the amount of personal debt on the books. Now it’s probably not quite as bad as we’ve been led to believe, however many of us have managed to tromp further than we should have into the financial swamp. How well we’ll be able to find our way back out to dry ground will depend on our knowing just where the heck we are in the first place. And that takes us right to the “B” word. “Budgets” Fo ...

If you think of this scenario and apply it to the job interview process you will find that it is a powerful tool to use for your interview preparation. What do you have to offer (as a pro ... New Year’s Resolution forgotten already? by Christiane Holbrook Now that the new year is here, many of us are struggling to hold onto our usual new year’s resolutions. Have you noticed that most of the time resolutions add to your “to-do” list rather than simplifying your life? Why not making a resolution to simplify your life instead?

You are organized and live by your to-do list and yet this chore list seems to get longer rather than s ...

I Need Your Help and/or Input! by Rebecca Hunter I am a 24 year old mother of two wonderful children. I have a 3 year old son named Christopher Gabriel and a beautiful daughter named Alyssa Ann. I became a mother quit young in my life and had to substitute a lot of my wants and needs for the wants and needs of my children. As I sit and watch my children grow up I want them to have all the experiences I had as a child plus so much more. So I thought about opening my own business. I thought to myself, I would be able to provide for my children ... Attitude – It Can Make All The Difference!! by Akanksha Sinha It has been rightly said, “Life is an attitude of the mind!” In our daily lives we meet a lot of different kinds of people, travel, work etc. Each day adds to your experience and knowledge in some way or the other. Many of us crib about simple things each day…like a hectic day at work, a bus missed or an exam you did poorly in. Do we ever sit back and think of the attitude we show towards different situations. Our attitude towards things, whether positive or negative, affects our lives in a bi ... Dean Martin by Paul Kyriazi When singers Dean Martin and Sonny King were first starting out, they had little money. They would go to a restaurant that served 2 donuts, coffee, and orange juice for a nickel. Sonny stayed outside while Dean ate one donut, half the coffee and juice. Then Sonny would go in and say, 'Hey Dean, you've got an important call.' Dean would say, 'Okay, why don't you finish my breakfast.' which Sonny did. After doing this several times, the manager caught on and said, 'Hey, you guys don't have to do ... Smelling the Roses: Better Living Through Savoring by Maureen Killoran, MA, DMin “Stop and smell the roses,” people often say. Then they smile ruefully, because everybody knows there isn’t enough TIME to stop or, as my daughter says, to “chill.” This is the Conventional Wisdom – and I’m here to tell you that the CW is simply WRONG. Researchers in Positive Psychology find that people actually get more done if they take time out to SAVOR their day. Not only that, but, over time, people who set aside a few hours every week are likely to be healthier, more relaxed, and better a ... Ridding Yourself of Being A Manipulator to Better Your Relationships by Brian Maloney One of the oldest character flaws in humans is their ability to manipulate each other. Its insidious nature tilts our everyday playing field toward the manipulator. The manipulating person has a basic personality flaw that has a direct link to control, but primarily the ever-abundant insecurity issue.

How Not Letting Go of Your Past can Hurt Your Future by Brian Maloney Experiences, whether good or bad, are sometimes all we have, and most of them reside in the past. So you may ask, why should I let go of my past when much of it is filled with beautiful memories and serenity? Well, that is certainly not what I mean. What I do mean is when a past is littered with seemingly overwhelming pain, it impedes one’s ability to move forward and adjust to this ever-changing world. A good analogy would be of a backpack filled with distressful memories that one tries to swi ... | ||||||
