Modern Martial Arts: Always Do Your Best

By John Knievel


Every time you train it's a chance to be the very best person you can - if only for a few hours at a time. It's a unique opportunity. The respect, comradery and co-operation displayed in jiu jitsu academies is becoming more and more rare.

As soon as you arrive at the academy, you'll be able to dispense with everything that holds you back and exhausts you in life. Just leave it all behind - financial woes, job worries, troubling political events in the world.

When you're at the academy, it's all about letting the very best of yourself shine through.

The respect you have for your teammates shines through in your appearance. Your gi is clean. You have well-manicured nails. When you set foot on the mats, you bow. You heartily welcome all of your friends, both new and old. These are people you might have never met if not for jiu jitsu. Think about it: When was the last time you approached a total stranger and shook his or her hand? What we share as jiu jitsu players transcends language, cultures and classes.

During your training you will often be reminded of the judo concept of "mutual benefit." Your reason for being here is to learn, and to be available to help your teammates learn too. Training is not a competition. It's a co-operative effort among friends. In this way, as your teammates improve, they will assist you and encourage you to improve. You can think of this type of training as a community activity.

Stay mentally focused in your training. In everyday life, sometimes we sleepwalk through life. Our minds drift. Our bodies are on autopilot. But on the mats, you should be fully engaged. In yoga they call this being "in the moment;" the mind and body are on the same task. You cannot give your best if you are thinking about television, video games, politics or family trouble.

When you're sparring, you must put your heart into what you're doing so that your teammates will truly benefit. Rolling in class isn't a competition, but it isn't time to slack off, either. You must be as good as you know how to be. That said, you don't need to try to be the most outstanding student in the class or think you have to rise to world-renowned status. It means giving your best effort and being the best training partner you can be.

More than a sport, jiu jitsu is a journey of personal discovery. No, you may never become a world champion in the sport. Nevertheless, you need to work at your highest level - always. It's a lesson that can be taken off the mats and back to the outside world.

Beginning Jiu Jitsu: Get Your Head on Straight

By John Knievel


The sport of Jiu Jitsu is both physically and mentally challenging. In fact, many refer to jiu jitsu as physical chess! What is wonderful about this sport is that even if you are physically the best player out there, you can still be beaten by your opponent if he is stronger mentally.

If you go back to the early 90s you can see a great example of this in the UFC fights of Royce Gracie. He was always the smaller and less athletic guy, but he ended up winning UFC 1, 3, and 4. It was amazing and clear that he had skills that other fighters didn't know what to do with.

But what does this mean for you?

Preparing for a fight mentally is as essential as preparing for it physically. Understand what you are good at and what you need to work on. Understand what the other guy is good at and bad at, too. Lay out your jiu jitsu plan that is going to benefit what you are good at and prey on what your opponent is bad at. Then, all you have to do is make it happen.

If you are a small and fast guy, don't play bottom against someone much stronger. If you are heavy, be sure to utilize your weight when playing top. If your best submissions are arm bars, stick to them and make them even better!

Now don't mistake this tip for making your game one dimensional focusing only on what you are good at. Your jiu jitsu foundation should always be as broad and deep as possible so you understand the full breadth of your art. Instead, use this as a motivator for actually thinking about how you approach competition and live training. If you use your brain you'll be ahead of half of the other guys out there!

I suggest you write the following down on paper: your strengths, your weaknesses, your top two specific techniques you want to work on. Now practice the two you want to work on. And after every roll, see what falls under your strengths and weaknesses. Once these are written down you are committed, so hold yourself responsible for working on them.

Points When Dealing With A Fuming Person

By Daniel D. Reynolds


Dealing with angry people is a very hard situation. Sometimes, it can get out of control and you end up in a very bad position or more likely at the hospital. Having a conversation with an angry person should be avoided at times but when you are faced with one, it is time that you put some action into your words. Here are some of the things that you should do when you have an angry person with you.

Never try to subdue a person who is angry with anger. Instead, be more calm and reserved and gather all the information needed. An angry person is a frustrated person. Get the reason behind his frustration and you will be able to help calm him down.

Listen carefully and learn why they are angry. Do not invalidate or belittle their feelings as it will only escalate their anger and would easily drive the conversation to a more violent road. It is much better that you acknowledge their feelings.

Alcohol should not be around when you have an angry or frustrated person with you. Alcohol is usually the culprit behind the violence surrounding an angry person. Drunk people have impaired judgement and would likely deduce to violence as means of expressing their inner anger.

At the streets, you should never try to do eye contact with people who are angry. It will only tell them that you are ready to fight them off and would be violent towards you. Lay your head down low and never make eye contact with them.

When these types of people want to get out of the place, do not try to hold them off. Do not add insult to injury by preventing them from going out from their current stressor. It is much better that you try to help them move out of the situation rather than prevent them from doing so.

Never try to interrupt the angry person when they are talking. When you do this, you will only heat things up even more and will most likely be hostile towards you. Wait for them to finish talking first then you can speak your piece.

Do not try to solve an emotional issue with logical reasoning. If you put an emotion into a logical issue it will only confuse them and would most likely be frustrated even more. Example, if you try to tell someone that what he is doing is wrong because it is not acceptable to society will only escalate his anger even more.

By Willie Yesenia Ware


Some people are often under the impression that motivational speakers are fraudsters who are out to rip the ignorant.

Motivational speakers give their listeners something that is comparable to life coaching. They help you see things from a different and positive perspective. When you view things differently you tend to change your way of doing them.

The Role Of Mom And Dads In Growing Their Child To Become A Good Person

By John K. Islam


The best time for kids to grasp tenets of good manners is that age of two years and below. It is only parents who can teach them how to behave in good manners in different situations. The better your child is behaved, the more society will respect you in future.

Even if it is beyond our control, it is very true that children get exposed to the ups and downs of life the moment they open their eyes. Therefore, there needs to be somebody around who will help them meet head-on, the issues that test our morality so that they learn manners in time.

When it comes to coaching mannerisms, parents can breathe easy knowing the following tips.

The issue of training is a tricky one and should vary depending on the child's age. For example, to train a child who is aged five and above, you can simply talk to and reason with them. However, for one under five, mere words are not understood as easy. Therefore, it calls for parents to perform acts that portray kindness. The child will then watch and ape these behaviors.

If a child sees you saying thank you every time something good is done to you or every time you receive something, they will end up adapting that trait of thankfulness. They will assist those in need.

As the child grows closer to school going age, he is more exposed and can therefore understand advanced words from the parents. It is easier to instill wisdom through word for word. It becomes easier to train them.

There are some extreme situations where an adult is justified to do what society does not think is right. However, children should not be purposely exposed to these situations. It nullifies everything you taught him.

To be safe, look at the child as a vessel. This vessel is empty and needs to be topped up with love with time. Do this by continuous will to complement the child whenever they do those morally upright acts.

Preparation Tips For Students Prior To A Test

By Mary A. Paris


A lot of people say studying is the hardest part of being a student. Exams and quizzes are a lot for students to handle. The more exams a student take the more it will be hard for students to pass. This is where studying habits differ from student to student. All it takes is diligence and the right attitude towards studying that makes a good student. Here is how you can study effectively and efficiently.

Always study when you are at your sharpest time of the day. If you are a morning person then study in the morning when you wake up or at least have had your breakfast. If you are able to concentrate more during mid-day then do study during the mid-day.

In studying, there are certain aspects that need for you to get by. One such is comfort. Always choose the right chair and the right table. An uncomfortable chair will distract you from your learning process.

While you are busy jotting down notes for you to study, keep everything that is not connected to your studies away from the table. They will only distract you from studying and would most likely cause you to skip studying and straight to leisure.

Have a snack with you while you are studying. It will help you sustain that energy and while you are at it, take a break once in a while to keep your mind from having information overload. It will do much more than just feed your hunger cravings.

The best time to study and review is right after each discussion since everything will be fresh in your mind to start with. Review your notes and see what you have learned from that class at the very moment it was taking place. You can then ask your teacher or professor for some clarifications. If you have classmates who have the same technique as you have, you can brainstorm and have a discussion yourselves.

The beginning and the end of each discussion is best remembered which is why you need to focus on what is being discussed in the middle. The middle portion of each discussion is the hardest to remember and most likely the core of the subject as well as the key point to every exam. Learn to focus your energy on the middle.

As much as you would like to continue studying, the moment you begin to feel tired and sleepy should be your alarm to stop and rest. If you continue on studying even if your mind wants to rest, all would be pointless since your mind cannot remember anything beyond that.

There are a lot of emotions that we have to deal with everyday and it is in these emotions that we tend to live each day right. Yet, for some reason, there are instances that we feel pain all the time. You begin to ask yourself how can I get through such pain and what can I do to get out? Here are some of the things you can do.

Emotions are true and there is no cure for it. Sometimes, people think that downing a bottle of vodka can help numb the pain but it will only be for a couple of hours. There is no real cure for emotional pain. It is much better that you open your eyes and realize that it is real.

List down the things that you are thankful for and this should include the hardships as well as the pain you are feeling right now. Be thankful and learn to appreciate life as well as pain as it is a full circle. We all feel pain and yet it is in that pain that we tend to become stronger.

As much as possible, learn to determine which emotions you are feeling. Do you feel sad about losing your pet dog or are you happy because you have your new car. Be more in tune to your emotions and you will be surprised at how you are very well self-aware.

Painful emotions cannot be cured and what you cannot cure, you will have to endure. There is no cure for emotional pain, only time. And the only way to do it is to endure the pain that someone has caused you and you will learn to live with it.

When it feels like you are about to give in to your emotions, grab the phone and have your friend or family over and talk to them. They will be able to give you advise on how you can deal with the pain and will always be there to help you go through such pain.

Stay away from blaming others or yourself from the pain you are feeling. Blaming will only makes matters worse and in fact, it will cause more problems with your relationship towards others. No one should be blamed for your pain not even yourself.

Lastly, never allow yourself to be controlled by your painful emotions. People with a painful past will most likely know that their emotions are taking over when they start to breakdown everytime they remember such experience. Do not allow yourself to be that person.

The Most Ideal Way To Deal With Toxic People

By Robert Headley


We all want to be surrounded by people whom we feel comfortable with. But there will always be one person or two that will entirely ruin that feeling for you especially at the office or at school where you have to constantly deal with them. What better ways to handle negative people than what follows below.

Try to ask yourself why that person is so bitter and negative to everyone inside the office. Maybe that coworker has some problems at home or the place where he lives is not therapeutic for him and might pose some problems on his well-being. These and a lot more can trigger someone to become negative.

The best possible way in handling people who are very negative is to remove yourself from that situation. Instantly moving out of the room and ending that very conversation you have can be the best way to handle them.

Squeeze the information as to why that person is such a negative force to you and to everyone around him. There might be reasons like grudges or hatred against you that fuels his negativity towards you.

But, there are also benefits to getting yourself involved with a negative person. You might begin to discover a new side of you or tackle issues that you have been avoiding before. There will always be a reason why that person tails you and that might be the key to ending his ways.

When you are constantly surrounded by such people asking for your help and putting you in an awkward position afterwards, try to tell them that they will have to take responsibility for their actions and it is time for them to fix their own thing.

And while you are busy bantering with these people, others are working and making more results than you do. So, stop paying attention to these attention seekers and be more productive.

There is always a reason why people act the way they do in the street or how they react to people. Find out every reason why and you will be surprised that that is the key to your success.

Tips To Avoid Clash With Easily Annoyed People

By Aliyah Fraser


For some, simply breathing and living your life irritates them. There are people who are just too annoyed by your existence that they hate every fiber of your being. They hate you right down to your core even if you have done nothing wrong to them. So, how do you deal with these types of people?

Do not react. Everything you do will simply make them angry so it is much better that you do not add more insult to injury by making no side comments or even double meaning comments. It is much better that you leave them fuming with rage than do something about it.

In order for you to subdue someone who is irate and annoyed by the things you do, try an approach that reflects them. If they are annoyed by the way you talk to people, and then let them speak up and tell them that we all speak differently and that they should try to respect that.

Although you might want to yell back at someone who is currently yelling foul words at you, it is advisable that you resist the urge and lower your voice. By lowering your voice, you make the other person aware that he is raising his own voice.

Practice calming yourself down or extending your patience. The more you practice doing this the more you are able to hold off telling people off or yelling people with nasty attitude.

Be able to know your limits when you are dealing with these kind of people. When they try to pull you down, you should know when they are stepping on your turf and when to take back what is yours but always practice patience first before you do something else.

If the situation goes out of hand and there are instances that become out of your control, it is better that you pray and ask for guidance. This will help you emotionally and spiritually even socially as you will be a guide for other people who are also experiencing this situation.

Lastly, talk to someone and vent your feelings against such hostility. When talking to your friends and family, try not to use foul words or even degrade these people. Instead, ask them what you have done to deserve such hostility.

The Best Advice To Take Care Of Arrogant Personalities

By Traci R. Lee


There are always a few individuals that are just very difficult to get on with, but still there is a possibility that they can change. Maybe you have seen them around and called them bullies, or they could even have been your co-workers.

Most often than not, you meet people who are so uncivil and lacking of respect. They tend to raise temperatures unnecessarily but you are the one forced to take it in without a murmur.

Often you come across such people. They become uncivil and disrespectful to others with no qualms at all. So they end up heating the atmosphere around them for no reason, really. Those near them are left wondering what to do next, but are forced to just maintain their peace instead of losing their tempers.

In other words, this is rudeness in the highest order of the word. People are usually left with no choice but to go through it all without questioning. Make sure you smile genuinely at them, but not with a forced smile. One principle of life is that a smile will attract another smile. It is the only option in handling such people, since if you were to lose your temper it would just make things worse.

It does not matter if you do not get a pat on your back, but you would be doing one good turn. You would notice that these people who are seen by others that their tough facade, lack of discipline; are actually soft hearted and normal when you get to know them well.

The ensuing can be an opportunity for somebody to make a difference in such person's life. Instead of getting annoyed with the person, the best thing is to just smile at him because that would show him some love.

Well, several reasons might be tossed about to explain his unbecoming tendencies - the main ones being that he is just nave, insecure, arrogant, nervous and so forth. Some would say the guy is just trying to cope.

After getting behind the matter, you will be shocked to discover that the guy is just a normal person but is undergoing lots of psychological stress. Choose to show him love and make a difference .

Fire Emergency - Tips And Procedures

By Fay G. Cochran


Fires are the most devastating natural or man-made occurrence in the world. It has destroyed properties and lives for countless decades. Fire is easily the most volatile of all natural occurring disasters. It can easily spread. So, in case of a fire emergency, what can you do to help save your life and others? Here's how.

If you are not able to control the fire, the best you can do is to get yourself out of harm's way. When you are in a public area like the mall or the theater, there will be signs of fire exits everywhere so as much as possible, know where they are and where they lead so that if an accident happens, you can easily head your way out.

Do not waste precious time to save yourself when fire happens. Many people tend to believe that they have time to salvage the things from their home and they end up trapped inside. Make sure you know your way towards the exit the moment fire happens.

During an emergency, never lose focus. When you go from room to room towards your exit, do not forget to sense warmth from every door. If you feel the door and find it warm, never open it. If the door knob is hot to touch, find another way around your home to your exit.

Drop to the floor is the room you are in is consumed by smoke. You will breathe less smoke when you drop to the floor. You can then take your time to crawl on your knees and elbow as you breathe heavily.

If you find yourself trapped, find a way to call for help. Break any window and yell for your life. If you still have time, call for 911 and ask for help right away.

In case of emergency such as fire, do not hide inside the closet or any close space. You will only trap yourself inside. You can either run towards the next possible opening if the place you are staying is consumed with fire.

A good rule to follow is to provide information that will help you get through such tragedy. The moment fire bursts and if you already know what to do, you are most likely able to put the fire out before it gets out of hand.

And lastly, you will never be able to survive a tragedy if you panic or you lose your mind. Breathe in and out and process everything. Then, put all of what you learned into action and you will find yourself safe.

Advice To Make Your Relationship A Success

By Gary K. Hall


Being in a relationship can be difficult. A fact further enhanced when you seem to be in a rough patch with your partner. The trick is to be able to walk over it and move on.


Let it out. Talking about how you feel, being precise about whatever is on your mind is the key to a healthy relationship.

It is necessary to avoid a heated discussion that might lead to trouble. Curb your irritation towards petty things.

Stay focused, when in a conversation; remember that you need to solve things not give guilt trips, no matter how tempting that notion may be. You do not want to end up in a pressure cooker of an argument.

Remembering the good old times is a perfect way to curb your anger and give yourself an excuse to smile.

The core of the relationship is remembering that problems are not as important as each other. Dig up some old things you cherish, tickets to a movie you saw together or have dinner at your first-date restaurant. It really helps.

Forgive and give and it helps you live. This serves true for a relationship more than anything. Hug it out and remember how important you are to each other and how ego isn't the best thing. Moving forward will become the easiest thing.

Intentions are the basis of actions. What you have in mind must be in accordance with your partner for it to be carried out, when in a relationship. It'll only happen if you both intend for it to happen.

From Aquarius to Leo - Oprah the Magnificent

By David Dibble


Try as I might, I was unable to think of a leader in the world who I more admire than Oprah Winfrey. She emerges to be the most influential woman on the planet, yet it is much more than that. She provides the lead in elevating the human condition in so many ways. A champion for all women, minorities, children and the underprivileged the world over, she has set the bar high as an of a true leader, a conscious leader.

Oprah is an Aquarius sun sign in the Western Zodiac or what we call an Aquarius CType. CTypes detail how we think. In the case of Aquarius, the CType is Outwardly Directed Sensation. This signifies that Aquarius thinking is strongly impacted by anything that can be experienced by the five senses. Aquarius CTypes are excellent collectors of information. Yet, like all CTypes, if we do an excessive amount of our Natural CType thinking, we create troubles in our everyday lives. Luckily, within the extraordinary body of knowledge that is CTypes, we are in addition encoded with a solution to life's problems and a pathway to elevated awareness. The formula is to turn to our Opposite and alternative CType thinking. The shift to our Opposites is challenging for all CTypes, but it is the way humans are made to grow and evolve in life.

Oprah Became the Master

The opposite thinking of Aquarius is Leo CType thinking, which is known as Bi-directional Association. Aquarius is in many ways run by what it detects whereas Leo drives its own personal reality, quite often adopting a leadership component in the process. Abraham Lincoln is an example of an Aquarius CType who mastered the shift to Leo and grew to be perhaps the greatest leader in American history. Oprah also has mastered the move from Aquarius to Leo and, in the process, has grow to be a kindred spirit icon of conscious leadership for millions of people globally.

My wife of 40 years, Linda, has been pulling me in to watch Oprah whenever she feels there is an issue I ought to consider. It appears there has been a great deal that I needed to experience (smile). She wondered aloud the other day what the millions of people who had made the Oprah show an essential part of their everyday lives would do with the show going off the air. I suggested that perhaps the precious time has come for us to decide to put into action the things that Oprah has shown us. This appeared to resonate with Linda.

What Puts Manchester United Football Club To Renowned Glory?

By Joe Stutts


Nobody can deny it, if you want to be supporting one of the best European football teams then you have to be supporting Manchester united. It is one of the teams that has football fans from the surrounding cities and all over the world. What we need to know is to why Manchester United is perceived as being one of the best football team with one of the largest following.

It has always been the basis of argument if it is true that the fans that are from London are many compared to the fans that are from England, and not only that if you look at the worldwide fans, you will notice they are of a great number.

The number of fans is higher and varies depending on how they truly support this team. There are those fans whom when Manchester united loses a game they become bitter and when the team wins a game they are able to celebrate with the team whereas there are those fans who celebrate all the time when the team wins and are only proud to be associated with the glory that the team makes.

The winning streak and the large following has made most television networks to ensure they televise this games live as they are being played so that they can be able to attract more viewers.

Fans will always end up watching the matches on these television networks since they want to get a piece of each adrenaline action.

It has also convinced most companies to become sponsors of these matches when they team up with the broadcasters and even go a step further to do some advertising. During the half time since they know most people are viewing the game.

The truth of the matter is so long as a team has a good winning streak; people will always be ready to support it so long as they continue doing the same.

For those countries whose football league is not appealing to the fans, most people in these countries have been forced by circumstances to watch the English premier league hence they end up supporting Manchester united.

Having A Positive Mind - The Main Key To Success

By Alisa D. Cook


Feeling good about yourself can be tough when a lot of people want to bring you down and some instances tend to make you feel sad. If you want to get back up on your feet and fight for your life, here are ways for you to do so. Know what you want in life and do something about it. If you want to be a pilot, reach for your dreams.

Be the worker bee and work hard in everything. The rewards you receive for working hard will be satisfying enough. Always give everything you have when it comes to life and you will surely be rewarded for your hard work.

Smile and others will smile back. When you initiate a smile, you will show yourself as an open and approachable person. This way, people will easily be your friend and you will have no problem dealing with people.

Be thankful for the gifts that you received. Whether you have nothing or you have everything, appreciating the things that have come your way will make you feel satisfied with life and when you are contented, you are happy.

Do a volunteer job and you will see a different side of life. When you fill in a volunteer work, you get to see the other side of life which is cruel and sad. It is in these experiences that you get to serve people who are in need of your help that you will come to realize that you are blessed.

When you feel bad you complain. When you are not able to do something you complain. Try accepting change rather than complain about it. There are other people who are on your situation and they feel blessed about it and you, instead of appreciating it, would rather complain.

Learn to take good care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Jog around the neighborhood. Enjoy the sceneries. Take a puzzle or play the crossword. Find a new friend or go to a club.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel so be more optimistic. Pessimism will get you nowhere and you end up at the short end of the stick. Look out for positive outcomes in every situation you are in and you will find that life is a lot easier than you think.

A Few Important Elements When Speaking Of Long Distance Relationships

By Andrea G. Green


Many people nowadays have closed the gateways to relationships and social gatherings in face of ambition and achievement in their respective fields whether as students or businessmen. We see a rise in lonely individuals simply because they do not have a fast, easy way to interact.

As a solution to the problems of disconnection, internet dating is now easily available. Chat rooms provide a quick, simple way of communication with new people. As a disadvantage however, the fact remains that people you meet online are from all around the world. Distances can, therefore, be an issue.

Being away from a person you like may or may not make you crave them. In any case there exist a few things which can come to your aid when your beloved is not near and yet very dear.

Visiting: A surprise visit or some time spent with your loved one goes a long way in a relationship. Literally, if that isn't enough, social and cellular networks and reliable email can be used to bridge the distance.

The age old formula of snail mail still works. There are few things more flattering than perfumed letters and candy. Helps the other person believe you're a romantic and worth the time and distance.

Coordination and presence of a game plan is very important in a long distance relationship, especially if you're in a serious one or intend to be.

Commit to your special person: Hard work is required for a relationship to work out. You have to commit to your second half to make a whole.

Uncork the bottle: Letting it go is the best way to go? Not really, unless you are talking about going downhill in the relationship. If you're getting irritated, let it out, explain and elaborate and resolve the issue at hand. That and these pointers should make dating easy and enjoyable for everyone.

It doesn't matter what the occasion is, there are a lot of things from which to choose the perfect present. But before actually buying it, it is important to keep in mind some very important and not to be ignored facts.

One of the most imperative of facts is to keep in mind what he likes and what kind of a person he is. If you get him something remembering his likes and dislikes, or keeping in mind something he might have said you will make him very happy. Get to know these facts about him and then buy him something.

Does he like sports? Then why not get him something really unique, like personalized items from his favorite team. You know better then anyone else what might please him, so follow that little instinct that is pointing to something unusual.

Also, the gift might depend on the level of closeness that your relationship dictates. You could, for instance, decide to get him a bottle of expensive designer cologne that he likes.

Critical Steps to Rebuilding Self Confidence

By Jeremy Winters


What kind of outlook do you have? Do you have a tendency to look at the positive side of life or just the bad things? Did you know that having a negative mindset will crush your self esteem? Possessing low self worth has a tendency to undermine your accomplishments and almost everything you choose to do. No matter what you attempt to do, you are likely to never be very happy.

That is no way to live life. If you want to make the very most of your life, it is important to be free from your current pessimistic thinking patterns and raise your self esteem. Rebuilding self confidence is really the only way to leave your rut and find yourself appreciating all aspects of your life, the good as well as the bad.

Remember that rebuilding self confidence will only happen if you are willing to simply accept your current mindset and are willing to change it. For most people, the way they think affects the way in which they're going to think in the future. If they are typically happy individuals, they're very likely to recover from emotional stress and negative circumstances whereas an unhappy individual would likely need to fight considerably harder to become optimistic. You need to truly believe in yourself if you want to change. Here is exactly what you can do.

Think about your own weaknesses and strengths and don't compare yourself to different men and women. Odds are that when you think that someone else is better off, you're not seeing the complete picture. You may think another person has a much better life however you probably do not see the difficulties that they have. In public places, you might observe that they're extremely extroverted, appear to be good friends with absolutely everyone and are also in a position to buy lots of things that you don't have. But who knows what internal difficulties they may possibly have? They may have problems dealing with their finances and are really in debt by thousands of dollars. You just never know. Instead of being focused on other men and women, just focus on yourself.

Think of all the wonderful things in your life that you have. Do you genuinely have absolutely nothing to be thankful for? How about your health? Food to eat? A place to live? You are permitted to feel awful if something bad suddenly happens to you, so long as you don't dwell on the situation for a long time. Allow yourself a few days to recover, then drop the problem. Do not try to deny the problem or hide it, because doing this will only make you feel even worse later on. Acknowledging the issue is one of the first steps in rebuilding self confidence.

Often in life when something undesirable happens to you, something very good happens soon after. Life is actually a series of good and bad occasions, so although it looks like grey skies and burning infernos right now, those bright blue skies might simply be a few days away. Everything in life has a tendency to occur in patterns. If you're willing to simply wait it out, great things will eventually happen to you. Something that appears undesirable, like being fired, may really prove to be a very good thing in hindsight, as getting fired enables you to have far more free time to do what you actually want to do. Consequently, even when you are concerned something might not work out, just allow yourself enough time and it will.

The Distinctions Between Keynote Speakers As Opposed To An After Dinner Speaker

By Gina Fuller


In recent times, professional speaking has turned into big business. Although there are different kinds of speakers its tricky for most to tell them apart. We have motivational speakers, business speakers, keynote speakers, after dinner speakers, conference hosts, presenters, guest speakers and many others bearing other kinds of titles and labels. What is not very clear is what each of these individuals do and what fits them in one category and not the other. Some of the attributes required for speaking include talent, practice, high level of intelligence, humor, practice and several more. While the basics of all these forms of speaking are the same, there are certain differences among the different groups. For example, after dinner speakers cannot be classified as keynote speakers although they are in a position to give a keynote speech.

All speakers need to be very eloquent, humorous, quick thinkers and very knowledgeable. There is need to know how to make their presentations to the different groups they come across. But there are some small differences in the way each of these speaking professionals' works. Keynote speaker can be described as the main speaker in a session with several speakers. These are mostly people who have a good amount of knowledge in a specific field and have built a reputation as a respected and experienced individual.

During a speaking session, the keynote speakers will most times be the last to speak as well as being given the longest time to deliver their speech. The keynote speakers should have the ability to deliver a speech that is entertaining, informative and memorable. Hiring a professional keynote speaker can be an expensive affair. However, some keynote speakers especially those addressing a professional body which they belong to will offer free services.

After dinner speakers are often the only invited speakers and their main role is often to entertain guests at events. Normally they are not the main attraction of the event, unlike the keynote speakers, they are expected to play a complimentary role. After dinner speakers need to present an entertaining talk that is also informative in a casual manner. This is in contrast to the formal speeches that are sometimes quoted by authors of professional publications as presented by keynote speakers. Quoting of speeches by after dinner speakers in publications rarely happens.

An after dinner speaker will not be expected to educate his audience as much as a keynote speaker though they should be well informed. An after dinner speaker will often be invited to parties, fundraisers and other such events. Keynote speakers are normally invited to seminars, symposiums and other such meeting especially where the audience is from a particular professional organization. An after dinner speaker can be invited to be a keynote speaker at an event. There are however fewer keynote speakers who will take on after dinner speaking. Hiring an after dinner speaker is just as expensive as getting a keynote speaker. You will rarely find an after dinner speaker who does it for free unless they are at a charity event.

Fire Emergencies - Talking About Preparedness

By James C. Anderson


To avoid fire, here are some preventive measures to keep your home safe especially if you have kids inside your home. Make sure that you light candles only when you are around. Blow them off if you are not around. Do not let children play with candles.

Always stay in the kitchen while you are cooking. If you have things to do outside the kitchen, do it first before you prepare your food and cook them. Leaving the kitchen to do something else can burn your food and you might end up having a big ball of fire within the kitchen.

Gasoline is very volatile. One spark alone can cause gasoline to light a fire up. If you have to store gasoline within the confines of your home, make sure you have precautionary measures as well as a special container to avoid spillage.

When buying for heaters or appliances, look for automatic off features or timers that will help you shut the appliance off even if you are not around. This will make your home safer and make you feel more comfortable when you are away.

Inform the entire family about your plans when fire happens. Agree to stay calm in case of fire inside the home and plan an escape route. Practice drills if you can.

Throw away or recycle used newspapers and other unnecessary materials that catch fire easily. If you need to store them for some reason, make sure that you store them to places that are away from any source of fire.

Learn how to use a fire extinguisher. You might have a fire extinguisher on your home but it would be useless if you do not know how to use them. If you have no idea how to use it, you can read the instructions or talk to your local fire officials about it.

Half of all fire accidents happen at night when people are sleeping. Take note to plug out all appliances that might be very hazardous to your home. If not, do some fire hazard checks before you go to bed at night.

Learning How To Acquire An Optimistic View In Life

By Nicholas Gregg


Death. No one wants it and no one wants to talk about it even amongst the closest of friends. This is why people want to live life but none are really experiencing life the way it should be. For some, living life means getting the right job while others is all about spending time with their loved ones. We all have different ways to live our lives but there are only a few that have the privilege.

Life for what is now. Some people are too focused on tomorrow and what it might come that they forget what is happening to them right now. Good examples for this are people who work very hard and neglect themselves today. Life is for the present and not for the past nor for tomorrow.

Love will always come with a price and that is pain. There is no love when there is no pain. You can never truly love someone when you are not hurt with that same person. Some people stay out from love to avoid the pain but you cannot avoid love therefore you cannot avoid pain. The best thing to do about it is to live with it.

Get to feel the pain, the love, the excitement, all of the emotions that human beings are meant to feel even the most unpleasant feelings. They send you a message about how you truly feel and disregarding them means you disregard yourself. Be in touch with your feelings and never rationalize with your emotions because emotions are different from reasons.

There are people who do not fear death instead, they fear life. They are so incapacitated when it comes to living life that they stick to what they are used to. Life is all about taking risks even if you know the consequences are serious. It is in that satisfaction that you have taken a risk in life that makes it worth living.

Always say the truth even if others are not willing to do and even if others will be angry at you. The best thing you can do when people are mad at you for telling the truth is to tell them that you are brave enough to accept the consequences of telling the truth than stay safe by telling a lie.

Do what you really love to do. If you want to travel around the world, do something to invest money so that you can travel around. Never live your life with regrets of not doing the things that you love.

If there is something you want to do, do it. As long as it does not affect others or you are not put into a life and death situation then go for it. Do not lie on your deathbed wishing for something that you could have done for yourself like spending more time with your family or climb the mountain you have been wanting to for several years.

Advice On How To Communicate Properly

By Dawn Chasse


People usually do not continue their communication with their partners when they have any issue with one another. They do not feel associated with one other. If this situation continues for little longer, isolation and disconnection will result and the relationship will end at some point.

On the contrary, when couples keep connected with one another and talk well, they feel associated with one another and the relationship between then become stronger as time goes on.

People need to be willing to analyze their previous or current talking style. This is necessary for those who believe their way of communication is not very good and is disturbing their relationship. This analysis will let them learn new communication patterns and unlearn the ones that are not suitable.

There are two things that one does while talking. He speaks words as well as shows the meaning of the words through the non verbal communication. If there is some difference between the two components, the listener naturally looks at the message conveyed by the body and not the words.

For example when you tell somebody that you like his/her coat but you have sarcastic smile on your face, your smile will be believed more than what you said.

With the passage of time, the couples learn the habit of communicating in a particular way which remains with them for long. This patter sets their argument making style.

The style of communication can be changed if the couple tries so. The point to remember is that communication is a learned skill and so enhancement or change in this skill is possible if conscious efforts are made.

This will allow the couple to get rid of the ineffective communication style. Once so, a good strong relationship will be possible as the couples will be able to clearly convey their meaning to one another and the skills of listening and talking will be effective.
