It takes a whole lot of effort to move up so rapidly that you condense a few decades into a few years. Get ready for the role reversal, dad. But it’s not necessarily back-breaking work. In this instance, it’s a case of working smarter, not physically harder. If you wish to rise quickly, here’s a trajectory to consider, complete with some necessary steps. 1. Always focus on resume building. Every employer uses a resume to quantify job candidates, and an outstanding resume quickly starts you out on the path to superstardom. Every opportunity that comes your way should be thought of in terms of whether it’s something yo...

MitchellThere are plenty of reason to like and dislike the tax deal between President Obama and congressional leaders. On the plus side, we dodge a big tax increase for the next two years. We also replace a goofy and ineffective “make work pay” tax credit with a supply-side oriented reduction in the payroll tax rate (albeit only for one year, so there probably won’t be much economic benefit). On the negative side, the deal extends unemployment benefits, which has the perverse effect of subsidizing unemployment. The deal is also filled with all sorts of corrupt provisions for various interest groups such as ethanol producers. Then there are provisions such as the 35 percent death tax.

Do you see yourself as special and unique?  Do you have high self-esteem?  Do you love yourself? No? Here is a quick 5-point guide to build self esteem when you forget how great you are: 1.  Believe in your inner beauty Don’t say to yourself that you are not beautiful nor unique.  Know that every person is unique and true gift to the world.  There is no one on earth like you and you have a lot to offer to humanity. 2.  Believe in your mind power Know that the way you see yourself comes from the power of your thoughts and mind.  U...

What if she wants to shake hands?” He briefly imagined his date’s hand slipping from his like an eel from a greased plate and started feeling a little sick as he frantically dabbed his palms with a napkin. A waiter watched with a seen-it-all blend of sympathy and disdain. “Just be yourself!” his flatmate – a regular man of the world with more dating confidence than a roomful of James Bonds – had advised. “Blimey, it’s only a date!” “What does ‘just be yourself’ even mean?” Dave retorted in a panicked tone, trying to cover his shaving rash with an extra-wide 1970s s...

Here, we will set our sights on the many ways that you can develop motivation in life. The Importance of Finding Out what Motivates You First, let’s find out what the importance of motivation exactly is. Simply put, motivation is that driving force which allows you to achieve your goals and go after what you want in life. If you want to change your personality for the better, get a promotion at work, start a new habit, be a better person who is part of the community, become a better parent for your kid – all of these things would be easier accomplished if you are properly motivated. As long as you ha...

Why do we torture ourselves like this? And what exactly is a ‘resolution’ anyway?  A...

You sit and stare at your to-do list, and nothing on it inspires you at all. It’s just a string of tasks that you wish you didn’t have to do. Simply getting started seems to take an unfathomable amount of effort. Yet, you don’t always feel that way. You know what motivation feels like, too. You have times when you can’t wait to get started on something – a much-anticipated trip, a big project that you’ve been looking forward to sinking your teeth into, a new course that you’re taking, or a job which is going to be so satisfying when it’s done. So how can you make sure that you are motivated, whatever the task at hand? Psychologists distinguish between two forms of motivation, intrinsic and ...

This is their best offer of the year. This is an extra optional bonus where you can get a second SBI subscription for a friend or relative (or even yourself) for FREE instead of the regular $299 price.

SBI sometimes runs other promos like getting a second subscription for $100, but this one is their most generous and popular promo of the year by far.

Chronic periodontitis, progressive bone loss and loosening of soft tissue surrounding the teeth, was to add to the risk of head and neck cancers, in particular, cancers in the mouth. In a study published in the most recent issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, researchers came to this conclusion after after studying 463 patients (207 control patients). “Although the study is comparatively small, the researchers were able to also see an association between bone loss and the risk of head and neck cancer.” However, the re...

We are honored to bring you this guest post by Daniel Goleman, thanks to our collaboration with Greater Good Magazine.)  --- Yes, You Can: New research suggests we can build our willpower -- By Daniel Goleman Those of us who struggle to resist junk foods or otherwise suffer a lack of willpower will be heartened by some good news from neuroscience. But there's some bad news, too. First, the bad news. A slew of studies suggest that we each have a fixed neural reservoir of willpower, and that if we use it on one thing, we have less for others. Tasks that demand some self-control make it harder for us to do the next thing that takes willpower. In ...

I think hard, as I need to assess if I need to recalibrate. Under what possible circumstances would my parents have taken me to the European equivalent of Build a Bear with 50 bucks in my hot little hand? They would have had to have won the Lotto! Someone must have had a near death experience! Maybe my birthday and I had behaved like an angel for 365 days! They all seem equally unlikely.I move forward a couple of decades and re-examine the circumstances under which I would have taken my first child to such an establishment? Single parents are often short of cash. It would definitely have been a special treat or over compensation for guilt, another fringe benefit of single parenthood.

Do they come together where you work? Most would agree that a firm’s economic and creative pulse depend on rhythms of emotionally intelligent and motivated work communities.  Yet too often we hear more about toxins than caring tactics at work. The problem solving and technology challenges continue to grow rapidly … while the number of people who bring a community building knack to work, is increasingly shrinking.Sadly, there is an alarming lack of interest in nurturing communities within some business bureaucracies.

Research shows that we each get hit with about 22 stressors each day. Were you aware, though, how good tone turn stressors into learning adventures.People who tend to ask 2-footed questions that draw from humanity as much as from the topic they speak to, help transform stressors into learning. Watch them engage and reflect on other viewpoints, and you also learn the value of tone in the face of conflict.On the opposite side … have you noticed how one opinionated person, without much desire to learn or grow, can suddenly change investigations into wars? No need to panic when that happens, luckily.Recent research shows how stress  makes people fail to reverse,  “I can’t&rdq...

Why do you think  racial slurs continually pop up. Recently in the elevator, I heard two co-workers discussing a mixed race couple from their firm. One manager said … “I hope they realize what they’re up against…” and the other shot back … "they likely have no idea what they’re in for."Why then, do we think opposites attract? Maybe it’s because we see more openness than in past?” Look closer though. Deeper differences of color, race, religion, and ethnicity don’t usually attract one another – and often polarize and diminish people in cruel ways. Are we simply deceived?
