Futurists Promoting Wishful Thinking Do Not Serve Our Civilization - Only Themselves
Have you ever heard someone tell you that they plan on doing some research in studying something very important to them and when you start talking to them about it and giving facts about the subject matter they tell you that oh that's too much information? Well, I have and when I heard that it literally blew me away and the person telling me this is a fairly well respected futurist. Mind you a futurist is supposed to be an expert.If you are really interested in a subject you could never have too much information and if you limit your information to only those things which are within a given set of parameters then you are surely going to come to a certain result. Indeed, that would be exactly the result that you want to come to but in that case are you really doing research or are you simply trying to prove yourself right to get the proper spin or angle on the subject matter in order to get paid by those funding the research. I have a HUGE problem with this, as you might also.The fact is I don't trust anybody who goes about their research in this manner and nor should you because they are dangerous to the field of research and the scientific domain in which they study. After telling me that it was too much information, they then stated: If so, you’re not alone. 99.9% of us have that conversation almost daily.

If you’re on this page there is only one reason why you are here: burning curiosity about what it takes to become a Fearless Woman.How many times have you heard someone say, "Just put it on your resume. There's no way they're going to find out"?It is tempting to put little white lies on your resume. These might include overstating your knowledge of required software ("If they call me, I'll teach myself over the weekend"), a certification ("They'll never go through all that trouble to find out") or extending dates at a former employer ("They can't find out. The company went out of business").So what's the big deal? It's not like you're claiming to be a medical doctor, right? Who are you hurting anyway? You're just stretching the truth a little to get your foot in the door -- or so you tell yourself. If these are familiar thoughts, you might want to re-think them. Why? Because the risk of getting caught is real. The odds of getting away with listing false information on your resume are probably, well . . . who really knows? Do you really want to find out the hard way?There are many reasons that could prompt a human resources manager to conduct an employment background check. Maybe you are not performing your job as well as expected. Maybe a co-worker has the same credential and became suspicious when your facts did not add up during a conversation. Some companies have Do you catch yourself telling the same old stories about why you can’t do something? There’s not enough money, not enough relationship, my health isn’t good, I’m too old, too fat, too tired. I used to dream about a future that was better, but that was then, and this is reality. I can’t have it. I’m not capable, I’m not worthy, I’m not good enough, I’m not qualified, I’m not creative, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not. Is that the yadda yadda of your life?

Is that the yadda yadda of your life?Contact lenses are a perfect solution for those who find glasses inconvenient or troublesome. They are easy to use, convenient and flattering. No wonder then that over 75 million people worldwide wear them.Contact lenses offer a number of advantages to wearers. Unlike glasses which can get hot and burdensome in the summer contact lenses offer real comfort. The way in which glasses steam up when it is rainy or humid can be irritating. This is something that you do not need to worry about with contact lenses.Contact lenses are virtually undetectable so they do not affect the way you look. And if you do want to make a statement, you can always try tinted lenses.For active sportspeople they improve peripheral vision and make running easier. Glasses however are practically impossible to wear when playing sports because they tend to slip when you run.The issue of peripheral vision is a big advantage from an optometry perspective. In this respect they are much better than glasses because they give the wearer a broader field of sight.They also offer better vision to wearers than glasses by giving a more realistic object size because they are worn so close to the eye. Contact lenses also slow down or prevent the development of short s If so, you’re not alone. 99.9% of us have that conversation almost daily.

Or do you want to strive for excellence? What is your work ethic? Do you try to do things the best you can or is mediocre OK with you? Many times I see a new employee come into the office ready to prove themselves and full of enthusiasm. We react to that attitude very enthusiastically in return and do everything we can to encourage the team member to continue their great performance. Then, after about six months their progress seems to stop. It's almost like they decided, I can do the basics, now I'm where I need to be, I can relax and coast along.This is a frustrating situation for a manager. By this time, the employee has become part of the team. You know they are capable of learning and improving, but the will just seems to fade away. You try being patient, finding new ways to communicate, honest performance reviews, stating your expectations, all to no avail. The employee's heels are dug in, they ain't budging. Why in the world does this happen? Beats me.If you see yourself in this description, ask yourself why you don't want to keep improving. Sure, it may be easier to stay average, but you may be holding the rest of the team back. Others may be getting stuck working harder to make up f If so, you’re not alone. 99.9% of us have that conversation almost daily.

EGCG has been linked to protection of many vital organs such as the liver and kidneys. EGCG also helps protect against cancer causing carcinogens and also prevents many respiratory and digestive track infections.

Their model embraces much more than just budgeting, it is more a philosophy of decentralization and a way of encouraging managers at all levels to become accountable for their performance without tying them to an annual budget straitjacket.Hope and Fraser analysed many companies of various types that have abandoned traditional annual budgeting in favour of their new model and found that management gained a new sense of empowerment and a "can do" attitude. In addition, they benefited from faster and more adaptive decision-making, reduced bureaucracy and lower costs. The companies became more competitive and customer satisfaction improved along with many of the company's' KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators).The new model replaces annual budgeting and centralized control systems with multilevel controls that include effective governance, fast financial actuals, trend analysis, rolling forecasts, key performance indicators, performance ranking, and management by exception.Its probably no surprise that annua If so, you’re not alone. 99.9% of us have that conversation almost daily.

I’ll give you an example from my own life. I’ve been married for 27 years and counting but it hasn’t always been easy. Several years ago I was ready to divorce my husband.
