Added for You - 10 Compelling Reasons to Stop Singing the Blues
Did you know that 45% of your potential USA customers may be abandoning your web site after finding it in a search engine or linked to by another web site because your slow loading web site is unbearable on a dialup Internet connection? The statistics(7/6/2005 - Jupiter Research) show that the USA only has a 55% broadband penetration rate and that 45% of the Internet users in the USA still only have a dial up modem! (A link to those statistics can be found at the end of this article.)If your web pages load slow on a dialup, then you risk alienating 45% of your potential customers as soon as they try to load your home page. And at the current rate of broadband adoption you can expect significant rates of alienation for slow loading pages for at least 2 or 3 more years.Studies have shown that web surfers cite slow loading web pages as the #1 reason for web site abandonment. Slow loading web pages were cited even more frequently than unprofessional looking pages! Don't kid yourself, if your web pages load slow on a dial up modem, then web surfers will just abandon your web site in droves! Alienating 45% of your potential customers the very first minute they enter your business establishment is the worst possible business practice no matter if you are a brick business or if you are a click business or if you're selling candles online or if you are FORD motors online.Should Ford motors theorize tha

5. Develop persistence
My favorite quote by Calvin Coolidge goes like this: "Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Education alone will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
When you cultivate the habit of being persistent, you:
• stop singing the blues and you make a conscious decision to train yourself to be persistent.
• realize that persistence must become a way of life if you want to succeed.
This speech given by Winston Churchill is still applicable today. "Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."
What separates a person's successes from failures is the ability to carry on when
Dental phobia is a lonely and unattractive condition. People are often unsympathetic thinking that sufferers are 'lazy' or 'dirty' because their teeth are discoloured and perhaps their breath smells.How Does it Start? Dental phobia is often a result of bad, painful childhood experiences of visiting the dentist. If these have not been overcome in childhood and a reluctance to visit the dentist carries on into adulthood, then only toothache is likely to force the person to seek treatment thereby reinforcing the feelings that dental treatment is painful.I know somebody who was extremely phobic. When she was 7 years old she visited the dentist and had to have a tooth extracted and when she came round from the anaesthetic vomited. Three or four years later a dentist told her that if she did not keep her mouth wide open, the drill would go down her throat.Dental Phobia Causes Suffering One effect of not receiving regular dental check-ups is that plaque builds up on the teeth and eventually gum disease occurs.People suffering from dental phobia can be in agony from the pain caused by gum disease and consequent mouth ulcers, making eating difficult too. If the gum disease is not treated the bone in the gums shrinks leaving teeth loose and these may eventually fall out.As well as the physical pain, phobic people also suffer from social embarrassment. They know their teeth look d

Here are some compelling reasons to stop singing the blues:
1. Start thinking and dreaming big
When you think and dream big, you:
• stop singing the blues and begin to activate your power to dream big.
• can dust off the dreams you've had on the back burner and bring them into now.
• see so many possibilities and want to take action to achieve them now.
• look around at people who have achieved their dreams and believe if they can, you can too.
• stop worrying about if you can afford it, if you know how to get it, or about any obstacles that stand in your way.
• start using your creative genius to figure out how to get what you want.
• are full of intention to take opportunities that come along.
• surround yourself with like-minded people who are positive and encouraging, who are dream-makers not dream-breakers. The more you associate with supportive people who love and accept you just the way you are, the more success you'll attract in your life.
• recognize that you are who you spend time with.
2. Believe in yourself
When you truly believe in yourself, you:
• become your greatest fan, you'll grow stronger and your life will transform beyond your wildest dreams.
• will become a new person.
• will be so strong that you'll know, without a doubt, that you can have what you want, that you deserve it, and that you’re worthy of it. You will let go of limiting beliefs and start believing that “whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve.”
• will start using your marvelous ability to reprogram yourself to have beliefs that are congruent with what you want and who you want to be.
• will be encouraged to take chances, to push yourself further than you ever thought possible.
• gain improved confidence that will lead to better performance at work, a better circle of friends, and better quality of life in all areas.
This improved self-confidence will help you deal with all of life’s challenges with a positive outlook.
3. Remove fear roadblocks
When you finally let go of success-stopping fear, you:
• will finally remove the shackles of fear, you’ll hit the high notes of life expressed in Johnny Nash’s song “I Can See Clearly Now.” As you begin to see the world as “a bright sun-shiny day,” you’ll end your long history of self-sabotage to live the life you so richly deserve. You will realize that fear is only false evidence appearing real.
• will outtalk the negative chatterbox in your brain. As you face whatever you fear and push through it, you will understand how to focus on correcting fear-based, thoughts quickly and easily.
• won’t wait for the fear to go away before you take action. You will decide to take action in spite of your fears. Miraculous things happen to those who consciously choose to overcome their fears. As you move forward, your incredible inner strengths will emerge.
• gain confidence in your skills, abilities and even your downfalls. As you move from victim to creator, you’ll learn more about yourself, your wants, needs and desires. This will open new doors of opportunity and you'll truly be on the road to creating the life you want.
4. Bounce back from obstacles
When you face obstacles head-on, you:
• meet everyday challenges with confidence. We all face problems, but some of us get stuck while others move on. Turning setbacks into comebacks will guarantee success.
• won't give up, you face the future with optimism and courage despite events.
• will be able to self-reflect and gain wisdom from your experiences.
• will be able to face reality, labeling your setbacks, losses and disappointments for what they are.
• will find meaning and purpose in your struggles and think creatively under stress.
• will expand rather than shut down when faced with challenges, and most importantly you will achieve the personal and professional success you deserve while continually discovering your greatness.

Direct Answers - Column for the week of January 5, 2004I am a captain in the Marine Corps. A year ago my wife cheated on me with another Marine. He lived in an apartment facing ours, which I passed every day on my way to work. She was my girlfriend at the time, and she told me because she felt guilty about it. She said it only happened once.She said she never talked to the guy again except to tell him to leave her alone. I married her even after I found out because I love her and because I feel everyone deserves a second chance. I hold a lot of anger inside about it, especially since I worked on the same base with him. He left a little while ago for another assignment, and the apartment is empty now.My question is how do you stop thinking about it? I picture it in my mind like a broken record. I don't want to keep hounding my wife over this. I want to get over it and move on. But I just get kind of sick when I think of his hands on her. I wonder if she will do it again, and I wonder if I am not good enough, especially in bed.To be honest, I don't know why she cheated other than she was unhappy about money and about moving to a new base. She stated she wanted him from the minute she saw him and he was the best looking man she had ever seen. I am so insecure over this it is unreal. I have never and would never cheat.MontyMonty, forty years ago Roy Orbison sang, "It breaks your heart in two, To

You ever wonder why some guys are able to order women around and have them comply with every request?Well these guys know a lot of women are intensely attracted to guys who can speak to women with confidence and authority. If you're able to demonstrate a high level of authority you'll have women eating out of the palms of your hands.I discovered this principle one day when I was reading a book on psychology. In this book, there was a passage which discussed how people will believe anything you tell them if you say it with complete confidence.In essence, if you're confident and tell a woman that you're a great person to be around, she'll believe it. By acting like an authority in everything you discuss, women will listen to what you're saying and will comply with any requests you make.Becoming an authority means having complete confidence in yourself and what you're saying. This means you should practice your conversations and work on your self-confidence. When you have true "inner-game" and belief in what you're saying, you'll become that magnetic personality which attracts women.In order to become an authority, there are a few simple techniques you should implement. For instance, you can do the following:• Read and learn about a wide variety of subjects• Learn how to display confidence• Know how to accept when you're wrong without losing authority• Practice speaking slowly and c

With the world witnessing an unprecedented growth in urbanisation there are significant changes in our lifestyle. Our lives have become much faster than they used be some decades ago. Today we have to run for everything. We wake up early in the morning, get fresh in hurry, run to our respective workplaces and return home again in haste in the evening. You have to handle both your personal and professional life with equal efficiency but it hardly happens.Many of us fail to keep up with things attached to our personal life such as our finances. We most often fail to repay our debts or forget to pay credit card bills. The problem becomes severe when interest rates and the principal loan amounts become so huge that we are unable to pay them back. Availing a secured debt consolidation loan is a wise option in such a case.Secured Debt Consolidation Loans are those loans that are specifically meant for consolidating all your debts into a single manageable loan. If you avail such a loan, you are free from the hassles of making multiple payments to different lenders. In stead you pay only a single installment to your lender and save a good amount of money. This is because paying different interest rates to different lenders costs you much more than what you pay to a single lender with low interest rate.The major benefit of a secured debt con

I’ll be brief. If not – I’ll negate my own point. Got time to read a 12-page essay on sales improvement? You want to get back to making sales and money. Let’s go then.Less time more pressure.You prospects have less time and feel more pressure. Just like you, I’m sure. As a sales professional, you need to be sensitive to this. For your own good, have a clear, short and concise benefit statement. Don’t waste a prospect’s time or yours with lengthy (and boring) introductions. Observe people who go on and on at networking events when asked what they do or introducing themselves to the group. Is that you?Less resources to get more done.Your sales increase when you better demonstrate how much ‘leverage’ your product provides. Have prepared proof of substantial Return On Investment for prospects. The best ROI support is customer testimonials containing real numbers. If you don’t have any, use industry data and 3rd party research, or statistics, and proactively collecting your own. Start today.Less contact more voice mail.If you don’t improve your ability for leaving voice mail messages, then you will continue to face the frustration of getting your calls returned. Most salespeople’s ability and confidence with voice mail remains poor. If you can’t motivate me to even call you back, how could you possibly motivate me to buy from you? Again, be brief, concise and clear. The most glaring weakness is no

What separates a person's successes from failures is the ability to carry on when things go wrong. All successful people have persistence in common. When others give up, they don't. Top sportsmen and musicians practice their skills for hours and hours at a time. They never rest on their laurels. They are always trying to get a little bit closer to perfection. When you stop singing the blues, you realize that without absolute determination and perseverance, your chances of success are drastically reduced.
6. Cultivate your strengths
When you work to develop your inner strengths, you:
• polish your diamond and stop singing the blues
• will become more confident, optimistic and focused. The more developed your strengths, the more likely you are to aspire to higher goals and achieve a life of great satisfaction and joy.
My favorite analogy is one used by Edward Anderson and Donald O. Clifton. In their book, Soar With Your Strengths, they say: “Talents are like diamonds in the rough and strengths are diamonds that show brilliance after they have been carefully cut and polished. Just as finished diamonds start as diamonds in the rough, strengths start as talents. And just as rough diamonds are naturally found in the earth, talents are naturally found within you. But while diamonds are refined with blades and polishing wheels, strengths are produced when talents are refined with knowledge and skills.”
7. Let go of the past
The benefits of letting go of the past are enormous. Psychological research is finding that being a forgiving person is essential to happiness. Even when someone wrongs you, feeling anger or hatred only causes your life to descend into misery and resentment. You are the one who suffers, not the person with whom you're angry. Forgiving, on the other hand, can lift the burden.
When Buddha and Jesus and other great spiritual figures taught us to forgive those who sin against us, they weren't just pronouncing holy philosophy, rather, they were giving practical down-to-earth life advice.
There is no question that you will be more satisfied with your life and will be less likely to experience symptoms of psychological distress, such as nervousness, restlessness and sadness if you let go of past traumas and disappointments. Researchers now believe that letting go of grudges may fortify the heart and the immune system. "When you're stuck in a grudge, you're isolated in your own suffering," says Fred Luskin, Ph.D., author of Forgive for Good and director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. "The long-term damage to the cardiovascular system from bitterness and resentment is clearly established."
8. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” ~ Meiser Echart
When you express gratitude and appreciation for everything in your life, you:
• give yourself a great and wonderful gift. Being grateful lifts your spirit, it helps you to renew, reflect and reconnect with yourself. You'll notice you start appreciating ordinary things and realize that every day is a gift. An attitude of gratitude will hold you together even when you are in the midst of struggles and hardships.
• maintain that sense of thankfulness for life, for the chance to experience each day's sunrise. This will keep you in positive thinking mode.
• have greater confidence and higher self-esteem. .
• will be richer and happier and you will appreciate all the abundant gifts you have.
9. Contribute to society and make a difference As you continue creating a positive outlook on life, you will realize the importance of making a difference by giving back to your community. Giving back in terms of donations, volunteering, contributing, mentoring or just listening to a friend will make a huge difference in your life. The benefits of giving back to society cannot be measured. When you give back by serving others you will feel a rewarding sense of fulfillment in return. The satisfaction you get from helping others will enhance your mental attitude and you will enjoy greater prosperity.
10. Take great care of yourself'
You are the greatest miracle and the most unique individual ever created. When you take care of yourself, you:
• stop singing the blues and appreciate this beautiful gift you have been given.
• will take your life and yourself more seriously. The more focus you place on you, the more joy you will feel.
• will feel fully alive, vibrant and rich.
• will feel in control, confident, and connected to your life's purpose.
• will truly put your own needs first, you will build a reserve of energy
