10 Key Vegetables And Their Nutritional Value
Scientists and nutritionists continue to argue over what constitutes a vegetable. Strictly speaking, a vegetable is any part of a herbaceous plant eaten by humans as food.
So, in this sense, lettuce leaves are vegetables, asparagus is a vegetable, carrots are a vegetable, as are garlic, peas and beans, squash, peppers and tomatoes.
Tomatoes, however are also consider fruits under the botanical definition and under the legal definition.
For the purposes of this discussion, botanical and culinary fruits such as green peppers or pumpkins and nuts, herbs, seeds, and grains and fungi such as mushrooms will be ignored to focus on culinary vegetables.
BroccoliBroccoli is high in dietary fiber and is missing only vitamin B and vitamin D to have a full range of vitamins. Broccoli has no saturated fat and only some sodium. Cholesterol in broccoli is non existent.
Broccoli is one of those foods that is good to choose when trying to lose weight. It even is a good source of protein, which surprises many people. This is helpful to know when one is combining vegetables to form a complete protein source.

Home Improvements: When considering home improvements or an upgrade, it is important to ask family members for their opinions. So, how do you evaluate the answers?
Typical DiscoveriesTalking with family members about home improvements will lead to surprising answers. If you happen to be a couple, you each have times you need to be alone (computer work, business planning), and times you need to be alone together (initial discussions about family plans, a new job, the budget, travel, etc.).
This varies by age of course, and if you happen to have a family, children have similar needs for being alone, alone with friends and with the family. There are times when you will decide the children need your supervision no matter what their preferences.
DecisionsAfter discussions and interviews with family members, you are ready to map out a plan for how the various areas of the house are to be used. Do the initial plan and then discuss it with your partner.
Don’t discuss it with the children until the two of you are pretty much in agreement. Obviously, tastes are specific to individual people...

Dr Martin Luther King Jr - The Phenomenal Achievements
Dr Martin Luther King Jr's legacy of change and his call for the end of racism and segregation in American society is without question the voice that has moved America as no other has done.
For while many have showed tremendous leadership, Dr. King clearly demonstrated a vision for the future of America in which black and white worked, lived, played and worshiped together as one society not two.
When you sit back and take in the phenomenal achievements of black history, it is natural to be moved to admiration by some of the great figures of black history including Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver and many more.
But one name stands head and shoulders above the rest and that is the name Martin Luther King, Jr.
The honor and reverence all American’s have for Martin Luther King, Jr. is evident in how honored his name has become since his tragic death at the assassins hand in 1968.
All around this nation, virtually every U.S. city has named a major road after the great civil rights leader.He singularly has a U.S. holiday named after him, an honor usually reserved for presidents.
He has been honored on the U.S. stamp and no school child gets through his or her elementary education without knowing the key phrases from Dr. King’s famous “I have a dream” speech.Dr. King’s career in civil rights is inseparable from the early struggles of the civil rights movement from the late fifties going forward...

Performing Arts - Chinese Theatre Arts
Performing arts : Chinese theater art dates back to as early as the Shang Dynasty in 1500 BC. There are so many subcategories in the Chinese theatre such as Beijing Opera, Acrobats, Clowning, Shadow puppetry, etc. Music and acrobatics evolved in the Shang Dynasty with many plays having these elements. Theatre arts further flourished during Yuan Dynasty. The structure began evolving and gaining recognition throughout the whole of China.
The Yuan style is reflected in Beijing Opera which is alive till this date. Chinese theater arts comprise primarily of four skills. They are voice, dance, song and acrobats. Dancing is done along with acting and combat is a part of the acrobats.
In all these, the basic emphasis is on the beauty of the movement and the actors are supposed to master all four of them as they are the part and parcel of the Chinese theater arts. Certain actions are a code and can be interpreted about some happening. Like when an actor walks in a circular motion, that means he is travelling over a long distance, on other instances if the actors on stage straighten their cloths and head gear means that the leading character is going to say something important.
Shadow Puppetry The Tang Dynasty witnessed the rise in shadow puppetry. It reached such great heights that an acting school named The Pear Garden was started by Ming Huang which produced musical drama and the actors of this school were known as The Children of the Pear Garden. There were two subcategories of shadow puppetry, Cantonese and Pekingese. The difference was in the making of the puppet. The Cantonese puppets were larger with the characters having symbolic colors according to the roles they are depicting. They were made out of thick leather and the rods were attached perpendicular to the head of the puppet...

1. Self-confidence This is that magical power of having confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Successful entrepreneurs tend to have self-confidence in abundance.
Self-confident people are not obstinate people even though they tend to be dogged if they have a complete conviction in something.
If they have a thought about something and it seems to differ from the way another person is thinking about it, they will usually try to look at it from that person’s point of view, understand why it makes sense to them.
Surprisingly, a confident person’s impression of self is very grounded. It does not simply blow in the wind and their ideas do not waiver based on what others deem important.
A self-confident person is not cocky or know-it-all. They have their doubts and make mistakes, and are far from perfect. Nonetheless, they are willing to acknowledge their inadequacies without dwelling on them.
They do this by maintaining a sense of humor, putting problems in perspective, and focusing mainly on what they’ve done right, not wrong. Despite the fact self-confident people are great believers in themselves, they make it a point not to suffocate others with their beliefs and ideas...

Branding - The Benefits And Advantages Of Brand Advocacy
Branding is the process of creating distinctive and durable perceptions in the minds of consumers. A brand is a persistent, unique business identity intertwined with associations of personality, quality, origin, liking and more. Here’s why the effort to brand your company or yourself pays off.
1. Memorability A brand serves as a convenient container for a reputation and good will. It's hard for customers to go back to "that whatsitsname store" or to refer business to "the plumber from the Yellow Pages."
In addition to an effective company name, it helps when people have material reminders reinforcing the identity of companies they will want to do repeat business with: refrigerator magnets, tote bags, datebooks, coasters, key rings, first aid kits, etc.
Memorability can come from using and sticking with an unusual color combination (FedEx's purple and orange), distinctive behavior (the gas station whose attendants literally run to clean your windshield), or with an individual, even a style of clothing (Author Tom Wolfe's white suits). Develop your own identifiers and nail them to your company name in the minds of your public.
2. Loyalty When people have a positive experience with a memorable brand, they're more likely to buy that product or service again than competing brands. People who closely bond with a brand identity are not only more likely to repurchase what they bought, but also to buy related items of the same brand, to recommend the brand to others and to resist the lure of a competitor's price cut. The brand identity helps to create and to anchor such loyalty.
Consider the legions of car owners who traveled up to 2,000 miles at their own expense to attend a Saturn celebration at the company's plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee. That's loyalty. And supposedly, more people have the motorcycle brand "Harley-Davidson" tattooed on their body than any other brand name. That's out-of-this-world loyalty.
3. Familiarity Branding has a big effect on non-customers too. Psychologists have shown that familiarity induces liking. Consequently, people who have never done business with you but have encountered your company identity sufficient times may become willing to recommend you even when they have no personal knowledge of your products or services. Seeing your ads on local buses, having your pen on their desk, reading about you in the Hometown News, they spread the word for you when a friend or colleague asks if they know a ____ and that's what you do.
4. Premium image, premium price Branding can lift what you sell out of the realm of a commodity, so that instead of dealing with price-shoppers you have buyers eager to pay more for your goods than for those of competitors. Think of some people's willingness to buy the currently "in" brand of bottled water, versus toting along an unlabeled bottle of the same stuff filled from the office water cooler...

Small Biz - How To Create A Small Business Marketing Strategy
What does a small business marketing strategy mean to you? Some people automatically think in terms of their company’s long-term goals. When they start their small business, they create a long-term business plan, including a marketing strategy, that will help them develop their company over time.
Others think of a small business marketing strategy as a single campaign. They create a marketing campaign for one product or service they offer, and create a series of marketing tools that will help them sell that product or service.
While both may technically be correct, there is a distinct difference between the two. One creates a stream of income for a short period of time (typically a few weeks to a few months), while the other ensures you have a stream of income coming in on a regular basis.
In order to ensure an effective small business marketing strategy, you must have three things in place.
1. Multiple marketing tools in place. Every day a person is marketed to 60-100 times. You see banners on the sides of buses, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and coupons in your mailbox. It’s easy to see why marketing tends to become almost non-existent in our minds.
But the thing that a good marketer realizes is that he has to use different marketing tools to reach different target audiences. Everyone has a different attention span.
Everyone is searching for different products and services at different times. A good small business marketing strategy has multiple tools in place to capture a prospects attention when he or she is ready for our product or service...

Book Marketing - The Business Of Publishing
Book marketing: A very big congratulations, you're published! But what exactly does it mean to be "published"?
Besides the fact that your work is finally in print and your college alumni has asked to interview you for their newsletter, it also means fame and fortune, right?
Well, ok, maybe not on the level of J. K. Rowling, but at the very least you can expect a call from Oprah, right?I hate to be the one to break it to you but you're probably not even on her radar screen.
The truth about publishing is really stranger than fiction and the truth is: getting published is only half the battle. The other half is to keep your reality check in balance so it doesn't bounce.
While publishing is all about creative expression, it's also about business and it's those business savvy authors who will succeed in the end.
Now you don't have to be an MBA to be a keen business person, you simply have to understand that the choices you make relative to your books future should be based on strategies that will enhance sales not just drain your pocketbook.
So, how do you do this? First, take a long, hard look at your reader. You always need to create a reader profile for each book you promote. This reader profile will tell you where to find buyers for the books you represent.
Taking this first step helps sort through choices when it comes to book promotion and make decisions that are sound and will help leverage sales.
There are times when it's a waste of resources to do a nationwide radio or TV promotion. In fact, some of your programs should not include any outreach to broadcast media.
Why? Because as alluring as it might seem to appear on a top morning TV, what's the point if your audience doesn't watch morning TV?And, if your audience isn't watching this show, the chances are slim they'll even consider you anyway. What? More rejection? Who needs it!
As you embark on or continue your campaign, ask yourself a few tough questions. First, what's your ultimate goal for this book? If it's just to give away at family reunions, that's great!
If your book is an arm of your business and you have speaking engagements lined up through the end of the year.You probably don't need to spend a lot on marketing since most of your sales will come from your speaking engagements (i.e. back of the room sales)...

Pasta Salad - Simple Pasta Salad Recipe
If you can boil water you can make a quick and tasty pasta salad with very basic ingredients. All you need is pasta, vegetables, dressing and any other ingredients you may have handy.
Whatever type of pasta you have in your cupboard, from spaghetti to rigatoni or even that old box of macaroni and cheese, you can create a great salad in the time it takes the pasta to cook and cool.
The first thing to do before you start cooking any noodles is to look through your kitchen and decide which ingredients will be added to the salad. Here are a few ideas:
1-Vegetables:
You can put just about any vegetable in a pasta salad. Onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, raw spinach, etc. are good examples. If you prefer to have your vegetables cooked rather than raw you can throw them in the pot with your pasta.
I would wait until the pasta is partially cooked about 3 minutes before adding to keep veggiess from overcooking. The tomatoes and cucumber should be raw and added after the pasta is cooked and cooled...

Health - Wellbeing Diet Fitness Diseases Nutrition
Health, in human beings, is the level of any persons continuing physical, emotional, mental, and social capacity to cope with his natural environment. Such a definition, just one of many, has it's disadvantages. The somewhat frail person who keeps "well" within the accustomed surroundings of his or her being, could possibly capitulate to a heart attack from shoveling heavy snow after a blizzard.
A person who normally lives at sea level,may perhaps relocate to a new family home in the mountains, where the environment has a lower content of oxygen.
He may consequently suffer from shortness of breath and possibly anemia until his red blood cell count adjusts itself to the altitude. So even by this definition, the understanding of good health must entail some concession for change in the environment. Bad health can be defined as the presence of disease, and good health as it's absence.
A person who has not had a disease for a continued period of time, but then had sudden attack of seasickness, may not be considered as losing his good health as a result of such a misfortune. The same might apply to an expectant mother, completely healthy in the afternoons and evenings, but afflicted from morning sickness a few hours each day. Physical condition and wellbeing are not synonymous terms.
A three hundred and twenty pound American pro football player, may be in a tremendous physical condition(although outside the range of normality for weight) but may or may not be in excellent health-depending for illustration, whether or not he has fallen victim to a bout of influenza.
There are additional problems in settling upon a definition of human health...

Humanities - What Are The Humanities?
The humanities are the stories, the ideas, and the expressions with the aim of helping us make sense of our lives and our world. The humanities introduce us to individuals we have never met, places we have never been to, and ideas that may have never entered our minds.
By presenting how others have lived and thought about life, the humanities help us decide what is crucial in our own lives and what we can do to make them better. By linking us with other people, they point the way to answers about what is right or wrong, or what is true to our heritage and our history.
The humanities help us attend to the challenges we face together in our families, our communities, and as a nation. The humanities should not be confused with "humanism," a specific philosophical belief, nor with "humanitarianism," the concern for charitable works and social reform.
As fields of study, the humanities call attention to analysis and exchange of ideas rather than the creative articulation of the arts or the quantitative explanation of the sciences. Disciplines of the humanities such as philosophy, history, and literary studies offer models and methods for addressing dilemmas and acknowledging uncertainty and paradox...

Small Business Advice - Setting Up And Growing Your Enterprise
Small business Advice: Small business is an expression that is frequently used day-to-day. That is simply for the reason that in the past decade, the ascent of small business has been larger than in any other decade preceding.
This is largely due to the increasing number of services that are available to small business owners, to enable them to keep their business running.
There really isn't any guidelines for when the term small business is used, however it is simply defined as a business which has a small number of employees.
How few employees is debatable, and the definition of when a business changes from a small business to a larger corporation varies both by country and industry. This number is generally less then 100 employees. As mentioned before small businesses due to their nature, are in most times sole proprietorships, partnerships, or privately owned.
Common in many countries, small businesses, are most often related to: accountants, restaurants, guest houses, photographers, small shops, hairdressers, tradesmen, lawyers, small-scale manufacturing etc.
Small businesses in many cases are located in private homes, for two main reasons. The first being it is economical and in most cases convenient...

Marketing - Differences Between Marketing And Sales
Marketing and sales are one of the most important components of the survival of a business in the marketplace. While both are dependent on each other many people confuse marketing with sales and vice-versa which is a big mistake.
Marketing involves designing a product according to the needs of the market and customers, promoting the product through advertising etc. and setting up a competitive price for the product. Marketing is a platform which drives sales. While on the other hand the sales process is what you do to successfully sell a product and fetch a contract.
Sales and marketing together is a part of selling and one cannot do without the other. They can also be called activities. The success of a business is critical to the success of these two important activities. Marketing is the backbone of a company’s future and launching pad for the sales.
While the marketing process encompasses the design of the product, advertising etc. the sales process is the execution of all the efforts which involves direct interaction with client either by in-person, meeting, cold calls, or by networking. But there is always an ongoing rivalry between the two, one claiming dominance over other.
The marketing people say they have an upper hand because they think it is they who designs the products, lays down the strategy and also develop tools essential for sales. They say sales are the outcome of marketing and thus should follow its directions...

Orgasm - Do You Get Yours Regularly?
Orgasm: This is a sad fact that, in these modern times, somewhere between 10% and 20% of adult women have never experienced an orgasm, and as many as 50% of women don’t orgasm during sex.
Sexual and sensual education have advanced to where we now understand much more about the female orgasm, such as the fact that women have two completely different places they can stimulate in order to bring themselves to full satisfaction.
Since the vibrator was specifically created to allow women to experience orgasms, it remains the best tool for women to discover what they enjoy, and what stimulates them in the best way to achieve the ultimate O.
The first step, of course, is acquiring a vibrator.
Most “adult stores” are pretty tacky and uncomfortable for women to shop in, which is why the internet is such a popular medium for adult toy shopping.Look at the pictures, read about the materials, and choose something you find attractive and that looks fun.
This is the first step on a wonderful journey, so enjoy it! To allow the best experience with your vibrator, give yourself some time with it.
Before you even switch it on, get relaxed and turned on. Take a long bubble bath, read an erotic story, get yourself in the mood...

Healthy Eating - Eating Healthy And Changing How You Eat
Healthy Eating: You might be aware that, not fueling up with the right nutrients can affect how well your body performs and your overall fitness benefits. Even though healthy eating is of great importance, there are myths that hinder your performance if you listen to them.
Here are some myth busters on healthy eating.
1. Working Out On An Empty Stomach.If you hear a rumbling noise in your stomach, the rumbling is trying to tell you something. Without listening to them, you are forcing your body to run without any fuel. Before you exercise or do any physical activity, always eat a light snack such as an apple or a banana.
2. Relying On Energy Bars And Drinks.
Although they are fine every once in a while, they don't deliver the antioxidants you need to prevent cancer. Fruits and vegetables are your best bets, as they are loaded in vitamins, minerals, fluid, and fibre.
3. Skipping Breakfast.Skipping breakfast is never a good idea, as breakfast starts the day.Your body needs fuel as soon as possible, and without it, you'll be hungry throughout the day...

Home - Choosing A Place To Live
Home: Blessed indeed are they who are free to choose where and how they shall live. Still more blessed are they who give abundant thought to their choice, for they may not wear the sackcloth of discomfort nor scatter the ashes of burned money.
TASTE AND EXPEDIENCE Most of us have a theory of what the home should be, but it is stowed away with the wedding gifts of fine linen that are cherished for our permanent abode.
We believe in harmony of surroundings, but after living, within a period of ten years or so, in seven different apartments with seven different arrangements of rooms and seven different schemes of decoration, we lose interest in suiting one thing to another.
Harmony comes to mean simply good terms with the janitor. Or if (being beginners) we have some such prospect of nomadic living facing us, and we are at all knowing, we realize the utter helplessness of demonstrating our good taste, purchase any bits of furniture that a vagrant fancy may fasten upon.
We give space to whatever gimcracks our friends may foist upon us, trusting that in the whirligig of removals the plush rocker, the mission table, and the brass stand may each find itself in harmony with something else at one time or another. Some day we shall be freed from the tyranny of these conditions and then...

Taxes - The Basics To Know About Your Online Business
Taxes And The Basic Things You Need To Know. So you want to start your very own online business. Aside from having unlimited access to the Internet, you also need to be armed with adequate knowledge about taxes and your online business because without it, you will surely be at loss. Online retailers, or more commonly known as e-tailers are not exempted from paying taxes, contrary to the common misconception of most people.
E-tailers are still included in the rush for meeting the April 15 deadline for tax filings in the United States. However, veteran e-tailers would say that the most difficult part for online business owners is navigating and complying with the confusing and complicated laws and conditions governing day to day sales taxes. An Everyday Challenge If you are an e-tailer who would like to take your online business seriously, is to be prepared to deal with the fact that handling and managing sales taxes is actually part and parcel of running a business.
The truth is, a lot of e-tailers are required by the government or their state to file and remit sales tax to states on either a monthly or regular interval. The basis for the filing of sales taxes would more or less depend on how much revenue your online business generates.
Few Tips For E-tailers It is very vital that you understand your responsibility for sales tax. You must also know that the idea that e-commerce companies are required to collect and remit sales tax in every state is one big myth. You only have to pay sales tax if you have nexus in that certain state. Well, in online business jargon, nexus means a "connection". Making a sale in another state does not mean that you automatically have a sales tax obligation. You have to bear in mind that there are many rules and laws that you need to consider before you can determine whether or not you will need to pay for sales tax in a certain state.
When you create your very own nexus in a certain state, you are then required to calculate, collect, report and remit the sales that you make in that certain state every time you have a transaction there. This is the reason why you are obliged to pay sales tax based on the location of your business. However, you must also keep in mind that there are other ways to create your very own nexus in a state. Aside from physical presence or structure of your business establishment in a particular state, you can also establish a nexus by having sales representatives...

Self Help - Acquire Power Through Self Development
Self help: It is the natural right of every human being to be happy to break away from all the miseries of life.Happiness is the normal condition, as natural as the landscapes and the seasons. It is unnatural to suffer and it is only because of our ignorance that we do suffer.
Happiness is the product of wisdom.To attain perfect wisdom, to comprehend fully the purpose of life, to realize completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to all suffering, to escape every ill and evil that afflicts us. Perfect wisdom is unshadowed joy.
Why do we suffer in life? Because in the scheme of nature we are being forced forward in evolution and we lack the spiritual illumination that alone can light the way and enable us to move safely among the obstacles that lie before us.
Usually we do not even see or suspect the presence of trouble until it suddenly leaps upon us like a concealed tiger. One day our family circle is complete and happy. A week later death has come and gone and joy is replaced with agony.
Today we have a friend. Tomorrow he will be an enemy and we do not know why. A little while ago we had wealth and all material luxuries.There was a sudden change and now we have only poverty and misery and yet we seek in vain for a reason why this should be. There was a time when we had health and strength; but they have both departed and no trace of a reason appears.Aside from these greater tragedies of life innumerable things of lesser consequence continually bring to us little miseries and minor heartaches.
We most earnestly desire to avoid them but we never see them until they strike us, until in the darkness of our ignorance we blunder upon them.The thing we lack is the spiritual illumination that will enable us to look far and wide, finding the hidden causes of human suffering and revealing the method by which they may be avoided; and if we can but reach illumination the evolutionary journey can be made both comfortably and swiftly.
It is as though we must pass through a long, dark room filled with furniture promiscuously scattered about.In the darkness our progress would be slow and painful and our bruises many.But if we could press a button that would turn on the electric light we could then make the same journey quickly and with perfect safety and comfort...

Love Quotes - I Love You
Love quotes: The famous three words we never hear enough of in our life.Throughout our life span we keep looking, waiting and hoping for something to take us, or lead us, to our true love.
Have you ever wondered where we can find love? What really is this word “Love” that we keep repeating to that someone special in our lives?
How many times do you tell your partner “I love you”? Do you really mean it, or do you just like to hear yourself speak? Or, is it just being said because it is part of the vocabulary that your partner likes to hear, or that helps make them feel secure about themselves.
So what’s love in the first place? What does love mean to you? Where can we find it? Before looking for answers, we need to establish things ourselves and understand the meaning of the word “LOVE”.
Love, in my point of view, is a flow of energy between two people that can bring awareness of their existence on this plane together, and this helps their relationship, and the harmony between them, to grow.
If love is a flow of energy, basically it is not costing you anything so why do we hold ourselves back from truly sharing that love with someone else. Vulnerability, security, or maybe fears prevent us, but how hard are we really trying to achieve “true love”?...

Branding - The Benefits And Advantages Of Brand Advocacy
Branding is the process of creating distinctive and durable perceptions in the minds of consumers. A brand is a persistent, unique business identity intertwined with associations of personality, quality, origin, liking and more. Here’s why the effort to brand your company or yourself pays off.
1. Memorability
A brand serves as a convenient container for a reputation and good will. It's hard for customers to go back to "that whatsitsname store" or to refer business to "the plumber from the Yellow Pages."
In addition to an effective company name, it helps when people have material reminders reinforcing the identity of companies they will want to do repeat business with: refrigerator magnets, tote bags, datebooks, coasters, key rings, first aid kits, etc.
Memorability can come from using and sticking with an unusual color combination (FedEx's purple and orange), distinctive behavior (the gas station whose attendants literally run to clean your windshield), or with an individual, even a style of clothing (Author Tom Wolfe's white suits).
Develop your own identifiers and nail them to your company name in the minds of your public.
2. Loyalty
When people have a positive experience with a memorable brand, they're more likely to buy that product or service again than competing brands.
People who closely bond with a brand identity are not only more likely to repurchase what they bought, but also to buy related items of the same brand, to recommend the brand to others and to resist the lure of a competitor's price cut. The brand identity helps to create and to anchor such loyalty...

Small Business Advice - Tips For Overwhelmed Business Owner
Small business advice: If you are like most businesses owners, you’ve experienced overwhelm in your business at one time or another. Maybe you experience it regularly and for good reason. Hundreds of things are pulling at you at one time. You’ve got marketing going, production to oversee, calls to return, employees that need your advice.
It’s never ending right? How do you possibly handle it all? Most of the small business owners that I talk to keep almost all of these things in their head. I ask them where their business plan is. It’s in their head. I ask where their employee training manual is. It’s in their head.
About the only thing that’s written down is their calendar of appointments. Even a lot of their to-dos are in their head. Here’s one simple and powerful way to get out of overwhelm—write it all down. Your overwhelm is in your head because most of how you run your business is in your head...

Motivation - Do You Think Motivational Thoughts?
What do motivational thoughts do? They help you take action. This isn't about positive thinking or motivating quotes. Those have their place in shaping your attitude and thinking. However, what motivates each of us is unique, so you need to have your own thoughts - those which are most effective at getting you going.
"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity" - Albert Einstein
This is a decent quote, and it may help you look at the positive side of a situation, but what if it just doesn't get you excited? Then you need to apply a little brainpower to make the idea your own. You have to make it a truly motivational thought for YOU.
Motivational Thoughts Of Your Own
"Making it your own" means experimenting with a good thought until you find a way to use it in your own recipe for motivation. Suppose, for example, you're in a difficult situation and don't feel like dealing with it.
As you sit there, you play around with the idea of opportunity coming from difficulty. Fortunately, you discover that it pulls you out of your slump to think about yourself in the future, explaining to a friend how you turned the difficult situation to your advantage.
This is how you create your own motivational thoughts. Now, it might be more motivating if you imagine yourself being interviewed someday about how you overcame this difficult time. The thoughts that work for you are the thoughts you need to be thinking...

Blogging Advice - Blogging On A Social Network
Blogging advice: Blogging is becoming increasingly popular and social networks are also becoming more and more popular as well.
Social networks include popular websites such as FaceBook, Twitter where users can create personal or business pages or walls and interact with other users. These pages may include a wide range of components including text, images, audio, video and blogs.
Here system users can voice their opinions, provided updates on their life, offer insight into current events or accomplish a number of other goals.
However, bloggers who utilize a social network to maintain their blog should consider a few different factors.
This article will discuss some of these factors including whether to make the blogs available to the public or keep them private, considering the audience of the blog and dealing with harassment through the blog.
Making Blogs Private or PublicMost social networks enable users to make their website either private or public. Private websites are only available to the user and other users he specifically approves to view his website while public websites are available to all users of the system.These same capabilities also apply to the blogs which are maintained on a social network.
This decision will be largely based on a matter of personal preference.
Social networks can be quite extensive and some bloggers may be apprehensive about their blog being available to such a large audience while other bloggers may have no apprehensions about the size of the potential audience.
Bloggers should carefully consider this option before staring a blog but always have the option to change these settings after the blog has been established if they change their mind about the choice they originally made...

Like the inevitable pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, people set their hearts on following their dreams only to wake up disappointed.
Disappointment can be crushing to people. They sit and wonder what on earth they did wrong. They may have a strong belief in that pot of gold, but a dream alone cannot make your visions a reality.

Have you ever written them down?

Sex - Healthy Sex Prevents Illness
Sex : There are many positive correlations between love, sex and health. Being so, it has produced many questions.
Have you wondered if an active sex life can truly alleviate pain?Do sexually active people have fewer colds and bouts of flu? Is it true that married people live longer than single or divorced people?
Can an active sex life help prevent disease and illnesses by strengthening our immune system? An active sex life is both stimulating and rejuvenating to the glandular system.
When we make love the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, the prostate and testes in men, and the ovaries in women are thoroughly exercised. The net result is that people in love look and feel better about themselves.
Activation of the sex center in the brain has health effects on other brain centers. Every cell in the body gets this message and is strengthened by it. An active sex life strengthens our immune system...

What Is Marketing - Guide To Promoting An Unfamiliar Business Effectively
What is marketing: So how do you effectively market your product or service when one knows anything about them because you're in a new and emerging industry?
How can you expect to get customers if no one understands what it is that you do?
If this happens to be your situation then a huge part of your marketing strategy will need to be educating consumers about what you do.
If yours is a field that is relatively new, or perhaps misunderstood, adopting an education strategy can help consumers understand the benefits you provide and feel more comfortable with the idea of purchasing your products or services.
Educational marketing is best done through vehicles where you have space or time to fully explain your product or service and the benefits it provides. Or perhaps even to set straight some common misconceptions.
Publishing a newsletter or Ezine, or writing a regular newspaper or magazine column are great ways to educate and generate positive awareness.
Make sure your web site content clearly explains what you do. Provide free Special Reports so prospects can learn more.
Conduct free seminars or teleseminars, or provide consultations so prospects can meet you and hear more about how your product or service can help them.
Your marketing goal should be to get as much educational information out to your prospects as possible...

Dating - 3 Groups Women Put Men In Before Meeting Them
When making advances towards women, even before you utter a word or do anything, she has already inadvertently put you into one of three groups:
I Like HimI Don't Like HimUndecidedNow that you are aware of the three different groups lets go over each ones strengths and weaknesses for you.
Group #1: I like Him: If you happen to look or remind her of someone that she liked, dress in a certain type of way that she finds attractive or anything else that she happens to connect with.
Congrats you have a heads up on everyone and when it comes to taking it to the next level its all On You.
This is a great thing and if you fall in the Average Guy category expect this to happen with around 10 percent of the women that you meet who are available.
Group #2: I Don't Like Him: You ever meet someone and for no apparent or real good reason you don't like them?
Guess what women are the same way and for good measure most women throw unpoised men and a whole slew of petty reasons in there as well.
If you fall in this category and at least 10 percent of the time you will if your just an average guy, unless you have some unknown outside factor to enhance you (hot ex still after you, famous, rich, etc.); there is nothing you can say or do that is going to get this woman to change her mind and be attracted to you.
Group #3: Undecided: The majority of the times about 80 percent is you are an average guy you are going to fall in this group which if you have done your studying and reading on seduction and how to attract women is a perfect place to be.
Seeing as you are in the Undecided category, you can work on creating the desire and attraction in a woman that you want. This is very good news for you my friend...

Definition Of Viral Marketing - Social Media And Digital Marketing
It seems like lately, there has been so much written about Viral Marketing, and why you should be using it to drive traffic to your site. If you are not already using it, you need to start giving it some serious thought. So, what is viral marketing, and why should you give it a thought?
Is it possible that it just might be another craze that will soon wither away? Viral marketing involves getting other people to willingly spread your message for you. People who appreciate what you have done tell other people, and the message spreads from person to person like a virus. When that happens, it is referred to as your message totally “gone viral.”
It simply relies heavily on word of mouth advertising; someone sees or reads what you have to offer and tells a few of their friends. Their friends see or read your message and they tell a couple more of their friends, and so on , and so on. The number of people who are aware of you and your message multiplies exponentially.
The more folks hear about your site, the faster your traffic grows. How large will it grow? It is really difficult to tell. If a single person saw your message and told 2 people, who told 2 people, who told 2 people, and that continued, your message would very quickly be in front of tons of people. If each person just told two other people, it quickly multiplies.
Is Viral Traffic Generation something for my small business?
You will be wrong in thinking that viral marketing techniques are simply for the big players with large budgets, and that it can not work for small businesses with tiny budgets. If that is your line of thinking, you can relax. It might not be possible for you to churn out the highly polished ads like the big guys, but there are still a lot of opportunities for success.
Any small business or person with a message to get out or a service or product to promote can benefit from a well crafted viral marketing campaign. There are quite a few reasons why you must be using viral traffic generation techniques to build your business and pull customers to your website.
1.) It is a fast, effective way to drive traffic to your site...

Business - Crisis Management Strategies And Risk Management
The Net has opened worlds for businesses and consumers, but it has also created a public relations nightmare for businesses. Forums, opinion Web sites, blogs, and anything that is publishable can smear a company's name in moments.
Crisis management is the procedure by which an organization deals with unexpected and disruptive events that puts in jeopardy the organization or its stakeholders.
The evaluation of crisis management evolved with the large-volumes of industrial and environmental disasters in the 1980s. It is considered to be the most crucial process in public relations
Three factors are common to a crisis:
(a) a threat to the organization,(b) the element of surprise, and(c) a short decision time.Venette argues that "crisis is a process of transformation where the old system can no longer be maintained". Therefore, the fourth defining quality is the need for change. If change is not required, the event could more accurately be described as a failure or incident.
Remember, "Yours Is a Very Bad Hotel" presentation that described one customer's bad experience with a hotel chain? Hotels are run by humans.Humans make mistakes. It's how you handle the mistakes that can make the difference in customer service.
Since the hotel's employees didn't try to help the customer overcome a bad situation, the customer lashed back and bloggers blogged it. If the hotel is on top of its game, it would unleash its crisis management (also known as reputation management) team to salvage its reputation while it can...
