Prepare to meet your Goal

2011/08/02 Gayle 1

Last night as I was falling asleep, I thought of the perfect blog post for today. As I drifted to unconsciousness, my mind put together words and phrases to express wonderful and uplifting thoughts. This morning those thoughts are gone, along with the concept! I know that I should keep a pen and paper by my bed; I know I should always be prepared to write my thoughts. The question of the day is – are you prepared? My goal is to write this blog! I try to be alert every day of ideas, concepts, and inspiration for this blog. I have learned to use the recorder on my phone because often the inspiration hits me as I am driving and unable to write. Are The rest of the story

Remember? (Tips for Recall)

When I was younger I had the memory of an elephant, it seemed impossible for me to forget anything. My life was busy then with school and a full-time job. I even fit in coaching Little League. Yet, my memory was, or seemed to be, spot on. Some 20 years later, my memory isn’t what it used to be. Now my days are filled with notes to myself and trying to remember where to find the notes. 🙂 So, today I’d like to share with you some memory techniques. Because you cant reach your goal unless you remember what it is. 1. Structure and organize – Researchers have found that information is organized in memory in related clusters. I have found that having my to-do The rest of the story

Mind Reading 101

By now in our journey together I hope you are working toward a goal (or two). Chances are, somewhere along the way you have needed to enlist the assistance of another human in reaching your goal; perhaps a family member, or a co-worker, a friend or casual acquaintance. Regardless of who that other person is, you must communicate your needs to them. As much as we wish they were, at time, other people are not mind readers. The ONLY way they know what we need from them, is if we tell them. When we wish to transmit a message and it is not interpreted in the way we wish, it is easy to blame the recipient for not understanding. Consider this … really really think The rest of the story

Well, isn’t that NICE!

We all want people to like us and we are willing to give of ourselves to accomplish this feat. You play nice at the office. You play nice with your spouse. You stuff your wants, needs, desires down while being nice to those around you. Nice is stifling! There’s a huge price to pay for parading through your life wearing the cloak of Nice. 1. DRAINED ENERGY RESERVES. It takes a lot of effort to put on the show. It’s tiring to remember all those little white ‘save your feeling’ lies. Coming up with fibs all the time to make sure you say things to try to keep everyone else happy is hard work. Eventually you will suffer from tiredness that can escalate to exhaustion, The rest of the story

Feels Like We’re Living in Star Trek

While attending a meeting a few days ago, someone mentioned a video of a 3D printer that was making the rounds. When I returned to my computer, someone, completely unrelated to the meeting, had emailed the video. Like anyone who has watched this video, I was amazed. and skeptical. It looks a little to far fetched to be true….or is it? According to SNOPES, it is indeed a real thing. According to Wikipedia ‘Since 2003 there has been large growth in the sale of 3D printers. Additionally, the cost of 3D printers has declined.[2] The technology also finds use in the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, GIS, civil engineers, etc.’ According to my limited research, The rest of the story
