Character in Love and Successful Marriage

Thu, 17 May 2012 04:48:26 -0500

In case you didn't know it, there is a character element in love and loving relationships. People who say they love each other and then cheat on their spouse or lover, or lie to them on a regular basis, aren't really in love. Oh, many think they are, but they really are not. People who love each other have character when it comes to their marriage or relationship.In our interviews over the past years with couples that had a successful marriage we are always struck by their undying trust in each other. They literally trust each other with their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor. The words they use to describe the one they love more often than not include words and expressions like trust, honesty, loyalty, respects me, admires me, always there for me, never lets me down, truthful, and never lies to me. Their trust for each other is about as complete as you can get. And when we ask couples in love during our interviews to place, in an overall sense, where their relationshi...

Wondering if You Can Buy Magic? Looking for a Magic Store?

Wed, 16 May 2012 04:49:52 -0500

Magicians, or aspiring ones, can buy magic tricks and illusions of many kinds at a magic store. A lot of these tricks are really quite simple and unless the performer can present them skillfully the audience is usually not fooled by them. Thus you can't actually buy magic, but you have to create magic for your audience yourself. Anybody can buy magic tricks from a magic store and perform them, but not everybody can create that magical atmosphere which is what makes people believe in them. Different performers choose different atmospheres for their magic. Some of them choose to surround their performance with darkness, hinting at the occult. For a long time magic was associated with the forces of darkness, so creating this atmosphere helps to make illusions appear real. Also, it is easier to conceal things from the audience if the background is dark. You can further misdirect their attention with dramatic lighting effects. Buying tricks at a magic store is not enough to make you a...

Having Life Training Cultivates Leaders for Tomorrow

Mon, 07 May 2012 06:38:46 -0500

Powerful leaders... breed leaders... They don't just maintain followers. Powerful leaders not only mentally assent to knowing the way ...they actually go the right way. And true leaders then pave the way to others. They duplicate themselves by educating their protg to carry on their deeds of valor and glory. Resounding success can be achieved through leadership training by mentoring and life coaching while building skills. John C. Maxwell once said, 'A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." I am deeply imploring you to take this by heart. 'A 'mediocre' teacher tells. An 'excellent' teacher explains. The 'superior' teacher demonstrates. A 'profound' teacher inspires.'' Your main goal is to find people whom you want to win over, networking which I have indicated previously is an essential factor in life. It does not matter how much you want it for them, you need to make them want it. Jesus said to not throw your pearls before swine. Mark Twain...

Speed reading made easy!

Sun, 06 May 2012 05:04:46 -0500

Speed-Reading TechniquesReading Myths. Reading is linear. I had always figured reading was a linear process; you know, start up front and grind through to the very end in the exact order it was printed in. Reading is no more linear than thinking is, or I eventually discovered, than writing; few writers start at the beginning -- indeed, they usually "write the first part last.". True reading is word-for-word. I started as a kid looking at individual letters. They didn't help much. Next I started sounding out syllables. Finally, I could read whole words. Why stop with words? Well, I know one reason&; I had a college professor who made us swear we had "Read every single word" of our collateral reading. Why? He didn't make us swear we'd "read every single letter." The answer is simple: that professor like me had never moved from letters, syllables, and words, to reading phrases, sentences and paragraphs. He assumed the only way to read thoroughly was by the laborious method ...

How To Achieve Family Flexibility In Times Of Financial Flux

Sat, 05 May 2012 04:57:58 -0500

As Leo Tolstoy put it in Anna Karenina, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." What about other family traits? Are families who are flexible all flexible in the same way? And are rigid families each set in their own ways?Today, families are being shaken up in record numbers as financial turmoil hits home. With all the job-related uncertainties facing them, families must be able to make changes in order to adjust to the current economic climate. They may even need to adapt to role reversals when a husband experiences a job loss and the family must depend on the wife's wages alone.Even before the current recession, women made up close to one-half of the work force. This percentage will likely increase since men held over of the over million jobs that have already been lost since last November. With more and more companies faltering and failing, the unemployment rate continues to rise, reaching in some areas - the highest levels in ov...
