Add You - First, Take Care of Yourself
Practicing Altruism The 'Golden Rule' occurred in the Greek and Chinese cultures thousands of years before the Christian era: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The spirit of the Golden Rule is one of generosity and altruism and is at the heart of any personal networking and 'right' living. Ralph Waldo Emerson said 'To have a friend, you have to be one', and his words are as true today as they ever were. You can test this out yourself by completing the following simple exercise: List ten people you know best: People You Know Best: H/N S/U1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. After each name, write an 'H' if the person is happy, or an 'N' if the person is not

Sony Ericsson is known for its walkman branded mobile phones. Many people with a penchant for good music prefer Sony Ericsson handsets for their impressive sound output, comprehensive storage capabilities and unique designing features. The latest on this list is the Sony Ericsson w950i – a third generation (3G) phone with some of the best mobile music options. The music options of the w950i are a great stress buster. And 3G capabilities of this handset are an added advantage – one can use the same to search for data and information on the internet; or, for making face to face calls to loved ones across geographical distances in real time. An easy-to-use interface of the Sony Ericsson w950i makes sure that all this possible at the click of a few buttons. Quite innovative, isn't it?The Sony Ericsson w950i comes within a
My attitude adjustment day began with a hot bowl of oatmeal, raisins, walnuts and plain yogurt followed by a drive to a newer gym and spa. I worked out on an elliptical stepping machine for about an hour before getting the knots worked out of my shoulder by a professional masseuse. As I was getting ready to leave a conversation started with a member of the club. We talked about the importance of exercising, his and his wife's enjoyment of taking bicycling trips to Europe and his challenge of trying to find the elusive workout 'high' that he first experienced in high school sports. It turned out I was talking to Bill Regardie, the founder, publisher and editor-in-chief of Regardie's Magazine (published from 1979 to 2001). Bill's creativity and leadership got the magazine named the best local business magazine in America nine times. In fact, it was Regardie's who broke numerous stories that shook up the corruption in Washington, DC while maintaining journalistic integrity.
I said, "You did a great job at your magazine." He said, "It wasn't me who did all of the work, but the fact that I surrounded myself with top journalists and businesspeople. They get the credit." Bill Regardie is a prime example of the importance of hiring top people at all times to magnify your own success. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I waited for years to find the right graphic designer and most recently a top editor who runs her own charitable foundation. I was waiting for top performers to come along and didn't want to settle for mediocrity, as this would certainly affect my performance and the perception of my work. Success Magazine interviewed Colin Powell about how to be a leader, and more importantly, one worth following. In Powell's Leadership Lessons, Rule #8 he says, "Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds. Surround yourself with the brightest and the best. It will make the difference between organization and achievement."

An inkjet cartridge is a replaceable component of an inkjet printer that contains the ink that is spread on paper during printing and sometimes the print-head itself. Each inkjet cartridge contains one or more partitioned ink tanks (reservoirs), electronic contacts and a chip that communicates with the printer.Inside each partition of the inkjet cartridge tank (reservoir), is a tiny metal plate. In response to a signal given by the inkjet printer, a tiny current flows through the metal causing it to warm up. The ink immediately surrounding the heated plate is vaporised. As a consequence, the total volume of the ink exceeds that of the inkjet cartridge. An ink droplet falls out of the cartridge onto the paper. This process takes place in a matter of milliseconds which equals to near 6,000 times per second.Usually

Before a couple seeks divorce, separation is the usual precursor. There are a number of things couples need to do before seeking a divorce settlement. From finding the right attorney to getting you finances in order, a number of divorces have long periods of separation before they are finalized.To be granted a divorce, separation is required first by most states. Many state divorce laws require you be separated from your spouse for a specific period of time before beginning divorce proceedings. By separation, the courts intend for both you and your spouse to be living in completely different residences, not staying in separate bedrooms in the marital residence.Separation is voluntary most of the time, but there are instances where desertion occurs. Desertion is when a spouse leaves and never intends to return to

The tempertures are rising and romances are in full bloom as we move into the summer months of adventures, vacations and new beginnings.We all love the changing of the seasons and all the surprises that are in store, the flowers are blooming and bring luxurious color to our world, our hearts are opening as we look for love, romance and hot partnerships. In the months of summer we are more available to meet the opposite sex as we are spending more time outdoors attending events, traveling and enjoying the summer, but we are also open to many dangers as well.As it is a wondertime of year, we must be open to other things this time has to offer as well. We meet people and our minds and hearts are open after a long cold winter and we tend to think we are somewhat bulletproof to all the dangers associated with this ne

This man is an Anglican priest but with a difference. You would not want to offend him put it that way. His online ministry helps to serve the community of street youth homeless/drug-addicted/criminal in a very unique way - by teaching them how to fight for starters. At the end of this article I will leave you with Father Dave's Top 10 of why we need to teach our youngsters boxing in order to make them less violent...What does it conjur in your mind when you think Anglican priest? Maybe a religious person? An old man pontificating whilst shrouded by church incense? Or perhaps a born-again Christian jumping about singing 'Praise the Lord on high' and speaking in tongues amidst wails and shrieks of people being moved by the Spirit 'Toronto blessing style.'
For a brief time I was the executive vice president and COO of a startup software company. It was just a fancy title where I was responsible for sales and marketing and inspiring 18 people. The company made health club software including the financial transaction components. I felt responsible for each of my employees and wanted to make sure they brought home a paycheck to support their families. As a startup, we had limited cash flow and the president and chairman were supposed to raise more investment capital. Fundraising has a lot to do with sales and marketing and this aspect didn't fit into the personalities of the two top honchos. I stepped up to the plate and helped raise some much-needed cash, and this allowed the company to survive for many more months. Eventually we didn't raise enough money and everyone lost his or her job. Along the way, I learned quite a bit about risk taking, intuition, following one's dream and putting people first.
In one of the best leadership books I have read to date, Shackleton's Way - leadership lessons from the Great Antarctic Explorer, authors Margot Morrell and Stephanie Capparell state, "The Boss (as Shackleton came to be known) learned how to select a crew, to conceive and executive scientific experiments and observations, and to adapt plans to fit changing needs. His long-standing convictions - the belief in putting the welfare of his men first and respecting each individual - remained admirably steadfast, even as his popularity grew and the burdens on his performance increased." The Queen of England even knighted Shackleton for his explorations. His greatest achievement was not filled with the success of finding the South Pole, but in how he handled his missed attempt. He was lost for nearly two years in extreme cold, but managed to bring all twenty-seven of his men home alive. By focusing on their welfare first and foremost, he became more famous than if he had discovered the South Pole!
Executing great leadership begins with the leader making wise choices. Being able to lead others effectively begins with great self-care so that others can be inspired by example. I had to brave a bit of Shackleton's cold weather as I set up my tripod a
