On a weekday morning, it is a twenty-minute journey, if you set off at 6:45 a.m. It is also a one-hour journey – if you set off at 7:10 a.m. It always happens like this: A visionary entrepreneur brings a new concept to the market (say, ‘Business Lunch Delivery Service’), and immediately start to “smile to the bank” with the proceeds of originality / innovation. Then the “Crowd” – having seen, from a distance, the Promised Land of Potential Profit – rush in. Alas, by this time, it is too late. What they meet is the bust. [It happened with cyber-cafes – if you remember what those are/were].   2. THE LAW OF INVISIBILITY That you didn’t

Nothing is more soothing than relaxing in a clean, clutter-free home. But getting from here to there can be an overwhelming task.

The good news is that in three simple steps, you can rid your home of unneeded clutter and create a serene environment.   Some of the items in your junk drawer or clutter piles are useful and wanted; much of the rest are things you would be better off eliminating.

A former forensic artist for the San Jose police department met a series of women and asked each to describe the way they look. He had no way of seeing them behind a curtain. He prompted them to detail everything: hair length, facial structure, their most prominent features. He then sketched each participant from their self-description. Each woman was asked before the study to get to know one of the other participants. The forensic artist then prompted each woman to describe the other’s face. At the end of the video, the artist reveals two sketches — one from the participant itself, one from their partner. The

We all are always looking for ways to save money, but we sometimes ignore the fact that we’re actively wasting money every day. Here are 5 ways you might be letting money slip through your fingers. 1.

You are more talented than you’ll ever know. You don’t need to sleep with your Boss/ supervisor to get a promotion at work or better grades at school. Burn late night candles; put extra time to study and practice until you master your skill. Hard work still pays well and does not kill. 3. Women can build a strong support network. Don’t let few ladies with “Pull Her Down” {PHD} syndrome discourage you from cultivating true relationship with your female friends. 4.
