A closer look at the way people work efficiently… or not and how you can help your kids get into the right working habits early.
Do you know any of those people who never have a minute, are always running around, who stress you out just looking at them? Or worse still? Are YOU one of those people? Do you feel that you have worked yourself to exhaustion and yet you haven’t moved forward or there is still just as much to be done?

All about how to see a real Diamond
Diamonds are natural substances formed deep inside the earth, created by a lengthy process of extremes in pressure and temperature that eventually shapes out a material of beauty, brilliance, hardness and invincibility.
It is known as the most precious of gemstones, rising above even the sparkling beauty of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. We can’t seem to get enough of it, seen as the diamond trade industry is thriving, producing nearly 30 million carats or 6,000 kilograms of cut and polished diamonds each year.

It has become increasingly evident that our government politicians in the House and Senate back the President and his Secretary of the Treasury in their quest to save Wall Street including it’s large banking sector. Do you think Congress would give Main Street America a Christmas gift
following the concept to Pay It Forward and Help Others, especially those in need?
Do you think Congress would give Middle American a Christmas gift following the Pay It Forward and Help Others concept? It is evident that our government, politicians, White House and Treasury is willing to save Wall Street and not Main Street who are especially in need.

At this time of year, the focus is 100% on giving. Yes, it’s a wonderful feeling to give from your heart, but how about receiving? Can you do that with an open heart as well?
The fact is many people find receiving much more difficult, but giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin. If you wish to give me something purely for the joy of giving, and I am not open to receiving it fully, I am blocking your joy. I am therefore being extremely selfish. I need to receive what you want to give me in order to maximize your pleasure. Therefore my acceptance is my gift
back to you.

Can we blame it all on MTV’s My Super Sweet 16, like writers like to do? Not really, but the truth is that this formerly modest party has morphed into something bigger. Maybe you’re like me and can hardly remember your 16th — mine sure wasn’t a big deal — but look around today and it’s not out of the question to spend thousands on this event, not even counting the Mary-Kate & Ashley ideal of the car in a big, bright bow.

It seems that the key to winning any contest is in the belief that you can win. It is through this belief that we strive to be the best, work tirelessly to accomplish our goals and sacrifice whatever necessary to see our objectives met.

A Christmas story about milk and homeless people.
Last Friday was another extremely busy day at the office. By 9:30 am, it had already become one of those grinding days where you spin your wheels trying to get everything done for everybody else but accomplish nothing you need to do. Around 10am, my customs broker called to say US Customs had cleared our coffee shipment in a day instead of the normal three days apparently they need the room for all the toys and merchandise coming in from China to help back fill Santa’s orders! She encouraged me to pick it up TODAY plus I didn’t want my coffee to be around all that lead paint for too long. Hence, the search for a truck began. After striking out at the U-haul stores, I called my friend Mike to see if I could use one of his vans. Mike, the saint that he is, runs Divine Resources, a ministry that feeds dozens of shelters around metro Atlanta everyday for free. He replied “I am going downtown anyway so I can certainly help you pick up your coffee.”

Buying a house is all about comparison. In order to compare homes it is wise to have a system. Most likely, you have narrowed down your search to homes similar in price. Now you need this additional criteria other than price to avoid confusion. Good luck and happy home shopping.
Buying a house requires an easy solution.
It’s typical to jump into previewing houses before developing a plan for comparison. And it can cost us.
You probably know what follows. You walk through six or seven open houses. But within minutes of walking back through your front door, your memory becomes muddled. You saw one house too many and can’t recall which floor plan was best.
