Don't Take Advice From Successful People
on 2012-02-10
Do you know what the problem is with asking successful people
for advice? They don't always know why they are successful - but
they'll give you all the reasons you want. I once watched an
100-year-old man explain that smoking every day was the secret
to his longevity. It would be great to know why he lived so
long, but I'm pretty sure we won't learn by asking him.
Don't Listen To Success - Model It
Don't do as they say, but rather do as they do. That is the way
to learn success from the ...More…

Livin' In Living Rooms?
on 2012-02-07
Most of us that grew up around here did so in homes that weren't
very big ones. They typically didn't have fancy parlors, patios,
breakfast nooks, or any of that other high falutin' stuff. But,
no matter how small our houses were, they all had one thing in
common - living rooms.
Living rooms. To be frank, I've always wanted to kick the shins
(or worse) of whomever invented them. They were by far the worst
room in the house, and for good reason(s):
1. The name itself is a lie - 'living room.' ...More…

The are many reasons why a person may develop a stutter, and I
am going to explain a few of them in this article.
We learn to talk by observing the people around us. This happens

to speak. If a member of our close family has a stuttering
problem, there is a good chance that we could pick up their bad
habits and also start to stutter. I have met many people who
stutter, who inform me that somebody in their family also
suffers with ...More…

Chapter Four
'Most marriage failures are courtship failures' -- PAUL H. LANDIS
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''..
And that's true. A good courtship makes a good marriage. But the
problem is that some do not even know the purpose of courtship,
and when to begin it.
Most courtships are no less than crushes -- an infatuated love
for a favorite teacher, pop star or some other celeb. And this
starts earlier in girls than in boys.
These daydreamers, however, end up sick and depressed. ...More…
