Member You - Full Plates, Tight Shorts, a Nation of Chronic Complainers Where Misery Comes Before Joy
The internet is a place where people often throw themselves into the darkness hoping that someday, somehow they'll strike riches. Most people nurture a mistaken notion that a huge amount of traffic will build a good business without paying any attention to what sort of people are coming to the website. This is the worst kind of Internet Marketing.No matter how revolutionary your pr
Years later when she lived part of the year with us, she shared with me many stories about farm life and her early years in Sweden. I never heard her complain about the hardness of her life. She always encouraged me and my cousins to embrace a positive attitude. Her little phrases such as "You get more with honey than with vinegar"
Ok, before we get down to the benefits of selling Big Ticket Items, we had better define what a Big Ticket Item is. A Big Ticket Item is any product or service that sells for more than $500 or $1000. Or, at least, that’s my definition. The truth is, the definition of a Big Ticket Item really depends on where you are starting. Ma
Let's be honest, our country has evolved into a nation of chronic complainers who actively look to what is not working and truly relish being miserable. Pick up the paper and read about all the complaints from the anti-smokers to the anti-progress (not in my back yard). These complainers consistently wear tight shorts that make them constantly uncomfortable as they attend to their daily activities.
If we just take a moment to truly think about our grandparents who truly had full plates, yet continued to embrace life with an attitude of joy instead of misery and abundance instead of scarcity, I believe that many would change their shorts or beliefs.
My father's family immigrated legally from Sweden along with thousands of others in the early 1920's. These immigrants homesteaded 40 acres in northern Wisconsin. Running water was a well with a hand pump about 100 yards from the sleeping cabin. Bathroom was an outhouse. Heat was from a large wood fed cast iron stove in small 2 room main house consisting of a living and dining area along with a kitchen.
Grandfather cultivated 35 years of wheat and corn along with a small herd of milking cows. Grandmother tended to the 5 children, chickens, hogs and day to day activities of farm life. Between cooking on a wood stove, helping her husband learn English, managing the limited money, I was told by my father that my grandmother never ever complained. For she saw the tremendous amount of abundance for her family in America and she were so grateful that her children and her future grandchildren could be a part of that greatness.
Like many other small farmers, these two individuals rose early in the morning, worked hard all day and went to bed late at night. They raised 4 sons and one daughter. Their grandchildren and great grandchildren have all graduated high school, some went on to college earning Masters and PhDs.
I remember my grandmother always having fresh cakes, pastries, fruit and cheese on the table along with a pot of hot coffee ready for any visitor. How she managed to cook 3 main meals each day not to mention the snacks on a wood burning stove and all with a positive attitude still confounds me.

Sustained and long periods of sitting still at our desks are not good for our backs - this is obvious: but how best to reduce the risks of backache and related stress? Getting up to stretch and walk around at regular interval makes very good sense, but many of us simply do not do it. And according to the British Chiropractic Association amongst others, this is one of many reasons why offi

So far –and I have been working part time in the field for a quarter of a century-- I have never read THE perfect bad novel. For some reason, despite all their efforts, the writers salvage something. Thus, the novel is not even published as a curiosity: the worst novel in the world. If you really want your novel displayed in a glass case in a museum, or locked in a wealthy connoisseur's
