i still date my exgirlfriend

Sunday, October 31st, 2010

Call Me Crazy, But She Still Makes My Heart Go Pumpity-Pump After ten years of marriage, I’m still crazy for this woman. Being with her is my little piece of heaven on earth. Here’s my proof: So far, I’ve had 508 romantic dates with my wife. (Yes, my wife. What were you thinking? She’s my ex-girlfriend, right?) That’s once per week for almost 10 beautiful years. And I’ve loved every single one of them. Our date night is sacred. Unless it’s an invitation from the President of the Republic, I say no to all invitations and meetings. Our marriage is what it is today because of those precious 508 dates. Call me corny. Call me deluded. Call me in denial. But I really love being with her. By the way, did you know my wife has magical powers? When I’m with her, she drains my stress away. When I’m going through a rough time, all I have to do is share my problems to her, and instantly, I feel so much better. With her, I’m at home. And I rest. I believe couples need to connect with each other in a deep way, or they will drift apart and look for attachments elsewhere. Aside from our weekly dates, I grab special times I call “spontaneous moments of connection”. Spontaneous Moments Of Connection Yesterday afternoon, I came home ready to dive into my work. The usual stuff I do: articles to write, talks to prepare, meetings to plan… But when I came home, I saw this lovely woman sitting on the couch all by herself. I thought to myself, “Work can wait,” and I grabbed this opportunity to sit beside the greatest girl on the galaxy. It wasn’t planned. But we were able to talk and connect our hearts. Even just for a few minutes. Life offers us these fantastic times of bonding. I’ve learned not to miss them: Being stuck in traffic with her. Or waiting for the dentist. Or lining up in the grocery. These times don’t have to be boring if you hold hands and talk. How To Have A Great Marriage One day, a young husband came up to me and said, “Bo, I wish my marriage will be as great as yours ten years from now…” I only had one word for him: “Don’t wish. Decide.” In that one line, I gave my secret to success. That’s what separates great marriages and not-so-great marriages. That’s what separates successful people from unsuccessful people. Unsuccessful people wish, want, hope, desire for their dreams. That’s not enough. Successful people decide to make their dreams happen. Period. That means they’ll do whatever it takes. Nothing will stop them. Failure is not an option. Let me ask you: Will you do whatever it takes? For me as a husband, it means… o practicing “mental” monogamy o overlooking her faults o going out of my way to express my love o prioritizing our dates o leading my family to God Note: Just in case you’re in the delusion that I’m a perfect husband, let me make this record straight. I’m far from it. Just ask my wife! But the important thing is that I’ve decided to become a great husband. And I make that decision everyday. (I struggle towards this dream everyday!) I’ve realized that this power of decision works in every other area in life… How To Be A Success In Anything I’ve also decided to be a financial success. No ifs, no buts, no excuses. I’ll do everything it takes. For me, that means sticking to my core gifts, getting wise mentors, reinventing myself, creating a dream team around me, and focusing on loving my customers. I’ve also decided to be a spiritual person. That means opening myself to God’s love, walking with integrity, and pursuing my ultimate mission of loving others. I’ve also decided to be a healthy person. That means going to the gym daily, eating veggies and fruits, taking supplements, and living with balance. Don’t Wish. Decide. “But Bo, I’ve already decided to be a success! But I guess my decision wasn’t strong enough…” Then that means you haven’t really decided yet. You’ve just wished. If you remain in the level of wish, nothing happens. You must go to the level of decision. I’m reminded of this Chinese General who invaded an island. Upon landing on the shore, he asked his soldiers to burn their own boats. Obviously, they were shocked. When asked why would they do this insane act of burning their own boats, he said, “We’ll leave this island either as Victors or as dead men. Escape is not an option.” That’s a decision. And that’s the kind of decision that will make you succeed in anything. May your dreams come true, Bo Sanchez PS. KerygmaFamily.com Members: Get ready for my FREE book!

do you use articles to promote your business

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

I am an avid believer in using articles to market one’s business. I’ve been doing it for years and I always notice an increase in sales when an article is published online via a website or blog. It’s like free advertising and all it takes is a little time and effort and your time. But online isn’t the only place articles work, print publications are always looking for quality articles on a variety of topics and your byline could become your advertisement. It just depends on the publication’s policy for bylines. Some publication do not like bylines that sound like commercials while others don’t care as long as it stays under a certain word count. Are you a freelance craft instructor? Do you travel from state to state teaching about your craft? Do you sell your products during craft fairs or business shows? Articles, as handouts work great, too. Save all those free articles you write and distribute online and print them out. Use them as free “take away” material that will help promote your business even after they’ve left the shows and fairs. I know a guy who distributes a CD to every workshop attendee with articles he has written pertaining to the subject he teaches

the script is the backbone of a movie dont neglect it

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Don’t be a filmmaker that neglects the importance of a sound script because you feel you have a can’t miss movie idea, a buddy that has some film equipment, a hook up on some locations, and have some awesome talent all fired up to be in your movie. I knew this cocky wannabe Hollywood director type that strutted around like a rooster. He had a sure fire hit movie idea along with access to free film equipment he received through a friend. He not only lined up a couple of plush pads as locations, but also had full access to a hip bar near Hollywood and was able to cast two talented actor friends. The crowd he socialized with was in the entertainment industry. I answered a crew call he posted on the Internet. Soon after he offered me a non-paying gig on his crew as director’s assistant (a gofer is more accurate). I was hungry to learn and accepted. After that we would hit a few bars together the rare times I was in the Hollywood area (after a few drinks you can tolerate almost anyone). After a night out with a couple of cast and crew members he handed me a copy of the script. I use the term “script” loosely. It was about 30 pages with some scenes described and minimal dialogue, if any. At the first production meeting I curiously asked how he was going to turn a 30 page script into a full length feature. He said all the scenes needed for a movie were there, he had a shot sheet to go off of, and the actors would be doing a lot of improvisation. I had only started learning about screenwriting and had yet to make a movie at this point. I was really looking forward to learning more about making movies and hopefully making connections. What ensued was a shoot filled with chaos. Cast became extremely frustrated that the scenes had no flow. The crew got equally frustrated each time he had to change his shot sheet. Every unplanned change caused delays in set-ups. He went into shooting his movie missing the most important blueprint for the entire production, a sound script. He did finish making the movie, but wasn’t able to edit it in post-production because it was a disjointed mess. It was a solid movie idea, but had a half-baked script. I learned later on he basically shelved the footage and pulled the plug on the project. Not the goal this particular filmmaker hoped to achieve. This could have been avoided with some solid advice. Read the whole story and many others in Sid Kali’s bookThe First Movie is the Toughest Slice of Americana Films was started by filmmaker Sid Kali to make movies that are authentic, intense, and hard-hitting. Learning from the process of making and selling films Sid Kali wrote a book titled The First Movie is the Toughest. It’s packed with no nonsense advice, help, and entertaining stories about making movies outside of Hollywood on limited budgets.

What is Matter School All In Anyway?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

The terminal goal for the sake of those who enroll in an MBA program is hurtle advancement. What make up this advancement liking take depends down to the ground on each living soul’s offensive agenda. Harmonious disciple may formula to return to work an eye to a preceding chief in a more hip context, while another may seek to change careers right down to the ground, transferring to a hound that is more challenging or fulfilling. Other more entrepreneurial students may try to start an independent business. Whatever the turn out that in the event of may be, MBA programs are designed to advise the scholar toward the circuit of their choosing while providing the skills that desire be required when they reach their destination.

How do they do this you ask? Poetically, the most fruitful MBA programs give it one’s all to meet groups of students with distinctive backgrounds and goals and then promote the sharing of their experiences in the surround of the chew over of putative subject applications. Earlier we be given in to the scholastic elements of the MBA program, liberate’s first derive a look at some of the distinguishable techniques schools are currently using to cultivate management qualities in their students (furthermore the law lectures, papers, exams, etc?).

1) Problem-Based Learning (a.k.a Chest Studies)

More than severely conveying material to the students through lectures, subject schools are straight away occasionally using the problem-based learning form to force students to invent quest of themselves measure than return one’s dinner components that they’ve memorized.

Classes are subdivided into ungenerous groups and each club is presented with a unusual governance issue or problem.

As a crew, the students ought to scrutinize the suit they’ve been presented with and put in what they’ve accomplished from their studies to encounter up with a key to the single problem.

This order of employ forces students to grace “horizontal thinkers” who be compelled study ALL factors linked to a single outcome degree than simply looking at an problem from on minute attitude (ie. accounting vs. marketing vs. commerce).

2) Studies in the Forte

Profuse schools are now supplementing caste lectures and individuals study every now with studies in the territory

Although most students coming into MBA programs already be suffering with significant work occurrence, schools last to stress the substance of “wisdom from doing”

The interpersonal skills that are crucial to aromatic control cannot be taught in the classroom habitat but choose must be observed before swiftly in the field.

3) Team-Based Scholarship

While divers of the projects assigned in role school in be missing students to business in groups, team-based scholarship focuses specifically on how to prove satisfactory as team.

The purpose isn’t so much to complete a thorough giving out or layout on some managerial issue, but preferably the to learn how to work closely with others.

Backdrop goals, assigning responsibilities, and knowledge to rely on others are some of the skills involved.

Because team poke out and creation groups keep appropriate for so common in the affair people, the schools are stressing teamwork abilities instant more than ever..

The Curriculum

Any longer of speed, underlying all of these contrary teaching techniques, is the curriculum itself. The beginning year courses of most MBA programs make up what is known as the insides curriculum. While each view tries to these days the consequential in what they suppose is a unique or revisionist mien, there remains minutest modification in these courses from day-school to junior high school because every MBA schoolchild be compelled in the long run receive a really extensive consistent of knowledge in the following areas:

For a detailed characterization of any or all of these courses, please browse inclusive of the advance annals or website of the specific business schools you are considering.

In no time at all this core curriculum has been completed, most affair schools consent to their students to spend the residuum of their track time on electives. Numberless schools are recognized for circumstance programs that they provide and this attention tends to turn over in one’s mind throughout these impaired year elective courses. Commonly business schools wishes have dons who are eminent leaders in their hound lecturing for these courses, providing the order with raw edge research and the latest advancements in the area. Some of the areas that a second-year MBA disciple can specialize in take in:

Accounting

Arts Directorship

Edifying Administering

Entrepreneurial Ventures Wealth

Ministry

Health Mindfulness Supervision

Sensitive Resource

Supervision

Supervision Consultants

Management News

Technology

Manufacturing Administration

Marketing

Not-for-Profit Organizations

Operations Stewardship

Negligible Business Conduct

So as you can see, it’s no longer feasible to pigeonhole province schools as gathering places as a replacement for group’s elite, who suffer in a three of years once engaging over the genus empire. A degree from a honourable problem school in can now arrange you on the lecherous follow for a guidance pose in any one of an incredibly diverse mob of career paths. The MBA has suit honest as substantial in civic service domains such as education, government, and healthcare charge as it is in the more established corporate sectors.

What to Have exchange for the Costs you have Sunk In?

Having established that flourishing to occupation instruct represents a bonny bad economic tax, contract out’s comprehend what you’re actually getting looking for all those dollars your laying out.

Assorted schools are building tag brand-new buildings, with brand modish classrooms, libraries, forum rooms, cafeterias and students lounges all supplied and state-of-the-art technology. Ethical as sole exemplar, Cornell’s Johnson Graduate Drill of Management has built a simulated trading floor with the fastidious anyway technology being utilized past genuine analysts.

Connections:

article marketing finally how you can boost your sales using articles

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

The first and most important thing to keep in mind when writing an article is that you’re writing to give good content. An article is not a sales pitch and the goal is not to sell anything to anyone at this time. Remember, your primary purpose when writing is to compel the readers to click through to your squeeze page, submit their name and email address, and eventually become a purchaser of your product online. Below are six steps to follow to write great articles: Firstly, select your topic. This can be anything related to your line of business. For example, if you sell gloves online, the following topics would be good: How to find gloves that fit right Best brands of gloves for durability Best brands of gloves for comfort How to choose a glove company How to find your perfect glove You should be getting the idea by now. Simply choose topics that people ask about everyday. Answer questions people might have. Secondly, write a compelling title. The title is extremely important. If the title does not strike a reader’s fancy and compel them to read the article, they will never have a chance to evaluate your writing your article, or click through to your site. Here are a couple of suggestions for article title formats: How to… The 6,8,4 ways you can benefit from… The top 5,9,3 keys to… The top 4,6,5 ways to… 7,5,9 things you never knew about… What is the best (worst, hardest, lousiest, etc.) way to…? When you’ve come up with what you thick is a compelling and attention grabbing title, type it using quotation marks into some of the big search engines. You want your title to come back as having no results found. If you choose a completely unique article title, you can monitor your article’s propagation on the web by typing in the article name in quotes and doing a search for it. Since you started out with no results, unless someone else just happens to write something with exactly the same title, you will have an idea of how many sites have your article. Thirdly, organize your article. This is important, because you want to have a natural - feeling flow as you go through the article. This will be different each time you write, based on the article content and style. If you are writing an article about the five aspects of something, then you would naturally have an introductory paragraph, one that simply introduces yourself or your topic. Next, you would have five paragraphs, one for each of the five aspects (or keys, points, ways, methods, whatever). Following this, you will have a concluding paragraph. This simply sums up the five aspects of your topic, and how they can benefit the reader. Fourthly, now you can start writing your article. It is important that you write in a friendly, easy to read style. You are not writing in a scientific article that has to have perfect grammar and multiple cites (unless of course you quote something). You are writing an informative article that should be extremely easy to read, maybe even fun to read. One thing to note: your article should typically be between 500 and 700 words long. Many directories will not publish shorter articles than that, and many of the ezines that will utilize your articles will not publish anything much longer than 700 words. Fifthly, add your biography. This is one of the most important things you can have in your article, since this is how the reader will click through to your squeeze page, if they want more information. A biography might look something like this: Mack Michaels is a successful entrepreneur, both in the offline and online arenas. To read more tips and techniques like the ones in this article, please click here: (insert your URL here with relevant link text). Now the reader can click through to your site to get more information. Finally, submit your article to multiple article directories. Go online and search the term “article directories” to find current lists of directories. Once you find the list, you can begin signing up with each one. Nearly all the article directories require you to have an author account, so you will have to manually create an account with each directory. After you’ve followed the necessary procedures to activate your account, you can begin submitting your articles. You will begin to notice an increase in traffic to your site after a few days, since most articles need to be manually reviewed and then approved, which usually takes about a week. The most important thing to note about article marketing is that it takes consistency. This means writing an article and sending it out to article directories every day. It is time-consuming, but remember, it produces some of the best qualified leads, and the only cost being your time and effort. If you are just getting started, this is one of the best ways to utilize your time. Do you want to learn more about how to make money online?

guru tegh bahadur ji the ninth sikh guru his life and teachings

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

SRI GURU TEG BAHADUR JI FACTUAL OVERVIEW Incarnation : Magghar Sudi 2, Sammat 1678 (1st April, 1621) Place of Incarnation : Guru ka Mahal, Amritsar. Father : Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Mother : Mata Nanki Ji Wife : Mata Gujri Ji Childran : Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Guruship : Chetar Sudi 14, Sammat 1721 (30th March, 1664) Cities Developed : Anandpur Sahib Merging into Divine : Magghar Sudi 5, Sammat 1732 Light Bikrami (11th November, 1675) at Sis Ganj Sahib, Chandni Chowk, Delhi Ruler : Aurangzeb GURU TEGH BAHADUR JI’S EARLY DAYS OF LIFE Guru Teg Bahadur Ji ascended this planet, with Mata Nanki Ji and Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji as His parents, on Magghar Sudi 2, Sammat 1678 (1st April, 1621) at ‘Guru ka Mahal’, Amritsar. His face had such radiance and grandeur, that His father named Him ‘Teg Bahadur’. He was given both scholistic and military education. As He entered adolescence, He was married to Gujri Ji, the daughter of Lal Chand Khatri. He left the house after His father’s departure and shifted to Baba Bakala, along with His mother and wife. There in His house, He got constructed a Bhoraa, a small room in His basement, and sat there for hours thinking of God, engrossed deeply in meditation. He was so self absorbed that people thought He had gone mad and made fun of Him; but He never paid any attention or entertained even a single thought of hatred against these people. TEG BAHADUR JI BECOMES THE GURU When Bala Pritam, Sri Guru Harkrishan Ji, was leaving this planet He awarded the Guruship to Teg Bahadur Ji. Though He did not disclose His name but only location, He is considered to be Guru Teg Bahadur since Chetar Sudi 14, Sammat 1721 Bikrami when Harkrishan Ji announced that next Guru is at Baba Bakala. Sangat rushed to Baba Bakala in large numbers to meet their next Guru; but they were surprised to find not one but 22 people claiming to be the Guru. Each one of them was trying to spread the word through hired agents that he was the real Guru. The Sikhs waited patiently for the true Guru to reveal Himself and finally that day came. Bhai Makhan Shah Lubhana, a merchant, had been bringing a ship full of goods from distant lands. Unfortunately, the ship was caught in a storm and fears of its sinking began to spring up. One of the Sikhs advised Makhan, “If you want to save your ship, just think of Nanak’s seat and prey to it.” He concentrated on Guru’s feet and prayed, “My Lord ! Save my ship and I shall offer five hundred gold coins in gratitude.” Miraculously, his ship escaped the fury of the storm. He remembered his vow and rushed to Baba Bakala to give away the coins he had promised. He too faced the same ire as the other Sikhs, that of too many Gurus. He sat thinking under a tree outside the village and finally arrived at a solution. He decided to offer two gold coins to each of the Guru believing that the real Guru, the all aware, would Himself ask for the remaining 498. He went to each of the 22 men claiming to be the Guru but none of them asked for remaining coins. He was quite disappointed and walking in low spirits after the episode, asked people if there was anyone else claiming theGuruship. Then someone told him about Teg Bahadur, one of the sons of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, mentioning His detachness from worldly affairs. “If you want to meet Him, approach His mother Mata Nanki.” The discontent that had engulfed his heart began to soften a bit. He rushed to Mata Nanki and requested to see Teg Bahadur Ji. After some effort, Nanki Ji opened the door to the basement. Bhai Lubhana bowed to His feet and placed the two gold coins before Him. The Guru, the omnipresent and all aware, looked at him; a smile developing across His face, starting from the lips and slowly spreading to the entire face, and said, “You promise five hundred and surrender only two.” He uncovered His shoulder, removing a piece of cloth from it and pointing to it said, “Just look at the condition of my shoulder which pushed your ship out of the storm.” There really were fresh wounds on the Guru’s shoulder. Bhai Lubhana was ecstatic and placing all the five hundred coins in His feet, he kissed them a dozen times. Immediately after, he rushed to the roof top and started shouting, “Guru laado re ! Guru laado re !” implying that the Guru had been found. He narrated the entire episode to people, and they were convinced that after all the confusion they had found their real Guru. People began to flock in large numbers to catch a glimpse of their new Guru. Author Bio : The author has written some great Books on Sikhism .

custom dissertation

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Custom dissertation deals with the exact requirement of the customers. As per the subject or as desire by the course the paper needs to be customized. The fine tunings as per the requirement is very important though the basic structure of dissertation may not vary much. The research paper can be divided in different parts according to different parameters but fundamentally research papers can be divided in the following two types: 1) Fundamental or pure research: Pure research is the research concerning principles or laws or rules. Pure research aims at the achievement of knowledge. It is not concerned with the utility or use of the conclusions of any research work. Thus, pure research is organized only for the attainment of knowledge and truth. Besides the search for new principles, pure research verified the old established principles and laws. With the change of time and space it often becomes necessary to make a change in the fundamental principles concerning them. This need is also pointed out by pure research. Principles are purified by constant and repeated research upon them. Sometimes the scientists start doubting some prevalent principles. To verify the doubts and to remove them, pure research is carried on concerning such principles. If the doubt proves correct the concerned principles and laws are modified according to the conclusions and results of pure research. Thus pure research is concerned with the theoretical aspect. It aims at the attainment, increase and verification of knowledge. It tries to find out the cause effect relationship. For example, the relationship between crime and economic status is a proper subject of pure research. Again, pure research aims at finding out the laws working behind the observed phenomena. It is a postulate that a phenomenon is governed by some definite laws. These laws are discovered by pure research. For example, the sociologists organize pure research to find out laws governing social phenomena. Thus, pure research is the fundamental basis of the progress and evolution in different subjects. It is also the basis of the evolution of necessary concepts and technical terminology. The process of standardization of these is based upon pure research. 2) Applied Research: Applied research is concerned with the solution of particular problems. While pure research discovers principles and laws, applied research discovers their application in order to solve some specific problems. Thus applied research is concerned with the applied aspect of life. For example, research in the field of family planning aims at certain applications of some principles. Similarly, administrative plans need applied research in order to find out necessary theoretical basis. In fact, applied research gives complete and valid information about the many facets of the social problems. In order to solve socio pathological problems, applied research is carried on to gather all sort of information about the social maladies. Applied research is thus concerned with actual life. It discovers the what, how and why of actual life. The applied research helps us in removing different prejudices, preconceptions and false ideas. It suggests ways for the solution of different kinds of practical problems. PayelCoursework is an academic writer who provides useful information about Dissertation and Custom Dissertation .

software for editing english is available

From the most basic English editing tool like Notepad to the most sophisticated software, professionals and students need help in writing and editing emails, letters and other documents. While editing your own loose sally of mind, you have unbridled freedom to even strip off the whole theme or chop it into pieces and even overhaul the complete sense of it, professional editing is a tiresome job because it’s not only about correcting mistakes but also requires fine tuning for clarity and eloquence. Nowadays software for editing English renders a helping hand in making our life easy by suggesting innovative thoughts and checking text for errors. These editors check entire text in blocks for correct spelling first then for grammar and punctuation. These help users by analyzing the whole text for complex and sometimes confusing grammar rules, homonyms and synonyms. These software also provide helpful statistics like a readability score and more. Editing software are incorporated with massive database to analyze all grammatical and spelling errors. They analyze individual words of the sentence, whereas more advanced programs look at the whole meaning or content in bigger picture. Microsoft Office Editing Tools are extremely useful for technical spell checking and consistency in use of language throughout the document and punctuation. However, these tools have certain limitations in contextual spell checking and contextual grammar because of inability to accurately convey author’s intent. I personally believe that without human intervention, supervision or review there is no software capable of completely performing such a sophisticated analysis which requires human intelligence. Operational setting of online editor is that, in order to access the editing tools you need to highlight the information, and then open up the program, and then get the tool to edit the selected information. Some software require closing of previous information before adding another document or additional text. Editing software like Grammar Expert provides you with suggestions on editing. If you are not sure about the software being valid or in accordance to your required composition, the software provides a very supportive grammar guide to check the English language rules.
