Would “Good game” be enough? Perhaps

Would “Good game” be enough?

Perhaps you rescued your friend, Billy, from drowning. Everyone paid attention to Billy. Finally, his mom looked at you and said, “Thanks.” Would you be pleased?

What do “That was good,” “Good Game,” and “Thanks” have in common? That’s right. They’re too general. What do they lack? Right again, they lack specificity.

Specificity describes a few particulars to affirm.

The parents of the star actor could have specified with “You spoke loud, clear, and with great expression. Your gestures showed me what you were saying and your facial expressions fit your words and gestures. You were good.” Be honest, wouldn’t you rather hear this specific affirmation than “That was good”?

The parents of the home run hitter might have said, “When you smacked that ball, I knew it was a ‘homer.’ Your whole team cheered as you raced around the bases.

In the case of these typing

Saturday, 4 September 2010

In the case of these typing jobs from home programs, it?s usually an affiliate site selling a digital product, such as a dog training ebook for example. If a person buys the product, the affiliate (the advertiser advertising with their pay-per-click ads) is paid a commission, in most cases 50% of the sale.

What?s an affiliate? An affiliate is a person who advertises someone else?s product and gets paid a commission each time she/he makes a sale. A lot of products pay a 50% commission to affiliates while some even pay the affiliate 75% commission on each sale.

Can you really make money doing this? Yes, you can.

Doing a better

Saturday, 4 September 2010

Doing a better job of what you do makes you look better to your supervisors. And it also makes you feel more fulfilled and satisfied. Those are two very good reasons for cultivating creativity in your job.

But what exactly is creativity? According to Michael Michalko, one of the world’s leading experts in the field, creative people are those who come up with more ideas in a shorter space of time. They had more good ideas. But they also had more BAD ideas. The key is generating ideas quickly. Out of this wealth of ideas will spring some that better solve your problem in new and exciting ways.

Let’s look at this in another way – let’s draw a picture of creativity. Imagine two people, Joe Average and Cathy Creative. They work in the same department of a large telecommunications firm. And they both have problems they need to find a solution for.

Joe Average holds his idea gun and slowly moves towards his problem. He carefully takes aim and holds his breath. Then he squeezes the trigger. He hits, slightly off target.

For clients who cancel their policies

Saturday, 4 September 2010

For clients who cancel their policies downstream, some brokers send a disclaimer ensuring they know what they are cancelling and detail the ramifications of having no cover.

It is cheaper to do that than risk the potential of attracting a lawsuit, and worse still drawing bad press to our business and brand. There is no doubt that single premium ASU policies have come in for some major flak because of their poor flexibility and TCF unfriendliness.

Commission

Agreed and rightly so. One of the key issues at play here is the seemingly large commission payments made for single premium ASU.

Let us look at that issue in another context.

State Auto Selects Enservio to Provide Comprehensive Contents Solutions for Commercial and Residential Property Claims

Market Wire, July, 2010

More specifically, this critical information in

Friday, 3 September 2010

More specifically, this critical information in terms of probability of O-ring compromise was expressed by engineers at Morton Thiokol, the contractor for the development and production of the solid rocket boosters. This information never percolated upward from Morton Thiokol to the proper people within the NASA organization.

In private enterprise, which is non-bureaucratic by nature, a relatively small group of people are working toward a common goal. In this situation, safety issues which arise will be known by all members of the organization. Safety issues will not get lost in a bureaucracy. NASA depends on it’s contractors to deliver a high level of safety. A private enterprise depends on itself to provide a high level of safety. The structure of a private enterprise is more suited to the endeavor of sending out explorers into space. The government should award grants to the most promising companies with the understanding that the sending out of explorers into space does indeed benefit mankind.

Americans are at their best when they compete. Competition is an integral component of American society. What was the driving force that put us on the moon. It was the competition with the Russians. At the present moment in time, this type of competition does not exist.

Don’t slouch; poor posture puts a strain on your lower back. Maintain your proper body weight to avoid straining your back muscles. Keep a positive attitude about your job and home life; studies show that persons who are unhappy at work or home tend to have more back problems and take longer to recover than persons who have a positive attitude.

They do not expect their children to

Friday, 3 September 2010

They do not expect their children to give themselves for others, nor do they give themselves up for their children.

Loving parents are parents who deeply value themselves enough to not worry about being rejected by their children. They are willing to set solid limits on unacceptable behavior and are not available to being manipulated by their children. Their identities are not tied into their children?s performance in school or in other activities, such as sports. Nor are their identities tied up in how their children look. They are accepting of who their children are as individuals, even when their children are very different from them. They do not impose their way of being onto their children, yet at the same time they solidly reinforce a value system that includes honesty, integrity, caring, compassion, kindness and empathy.

As much as we want to be loving parents, unless we have done our own inner work to heal our own deep fears of rejection and domination, we will automatically be acting out of these fears without being consciously aware of it.

To stand inside

Friday, 3 September 2010

To stand inside it now, a living tree with a healthy green canopy gives a different perspective on life, history and the importance of preserving our environment. Taking hundreds, thousands of years to grow, a tree can be cut down and destroyed in minutes by the hand of man.

If you examine the end grain of a log or a piece of timber you will be astounded by the number of annular rings, one for each year it grew as a tree. At one per millimetre a tree of 200mm diameter, 100mm radius could be a hundred years old; a half meter diameter, 250mm radius 250 year old. Not all trees grow at the same rate, of course, some are faster, some slower.
Examine a piece of firewood before you throw it on the fire, or the polished end-grain of a piece of furniture. You will be astounded by the age revealed. But it is more than that, it is also a calendar of climate recording the wet year when growth was rapid, and the droughts when the growth rings were close together, tight and hard.

A tree is not just timber, firewood, a view, or part of a forest.
