If you are leaving behind the white sandy beaches of Florida for the sandy desert of Texas, the humid weather is similar enough that you won't need to leave your clothes behind and build a new wardrobe (though you may be trading in flip flops for cowboy boots). Relocating from Miami to Dallas is quite a move to make, and some organized planning is needed to make your move go as smoothly as possible. There are a lot of moving company options available, and you want to choose the best... more...

Many people misunderstand what social skills are - and what they're not. Here's a quick look at a few common myths and some information on what social skills really are.

There are many different social skills and the impact they have on other people varies. Acting on two or three "easy" skills isn't enough. The best results are achieved when several skills are used in combination with one another. The expression "the total is greater than the sum of its parts" resonates loudly with respect to social skills. When individuals combine various skills such as listening, making small talk, giving compliments, maintaining eye contact, greeting othe... more...

So what is your goal in life? What is your purpose in life? If you don't have an answer for either of these two questions, you most likely won't be spending much time working on either. So what will you end up doing with your working time instead? If you don't know your purpose in life, the amount of work you do for yourself will always be limited. This will turn you into a passionless shell fulfilling your working life only working to satisfying others. When you... more...

If you ever got picked last for softball, soccer or any other team sport you did your best to conceal your hurt and disappointment. Sometimes your best wasn't very convincing, but it was still your best at the time. If getting picked last happened a few times you probably started making judgments about yourself and your abilities or you made judgments about the people doing the choosing. If you began to expect it to happen you decided you didn't like team sports. Heck, you even... more...

We're all familiar with our 5 senses and what they do even if we don't know exactly how they do it. In some way, they all help us navigate through our world.

You probably own a cell phone, a DVD player, an MP3 player, a PC, a GPS system and other similar gadgets. Be honest now, out of all that equipment, how many of the features do you know how to operate 100%? How much lost capacity resides in all that technology? If you took the time to read through all those manuals, how much additional benefit would you gain? Probably quite a lot! I'm just like you. Heck, for the first 6 months after purchasing my cell phone, I didn't ... more...

Returning to the office after the 400 Year Project launch meeting in September 1995 to help the whole world make 400 years worth of progress between 2015 and 2035, my instincts as an historian kicked in. After all, a project that was going to have such great success should be well documented for the benefit of future generations. The raw video footage (shot without benefit of tripod) was packed off to a video production company that was charged with creating a videotape version of the launch eve... more...

There are four main classes of people in NLP and we normally refer to them as the "Visuals", the "Auditories", the "Kinesthetics" and the "Digitals". Each of these groups of people has certain general observable patterns of behaviors. Of course, these models are not meant to be cast into stone and followed like a set of rules. There are some exceptions and combination patterns. However, we can say that at the point of interaction with the person, y... more...

Have you ever wonder what really drives you in your life? Why do you do what you do? What drives your decisions and choices you make constantly?

If you had a person, let us say Jeff, who places a very high value on freedom and fun, and you compared him with someone else, called Sam who places a very high value on security and comfort. Would they behave very differently and make very different decisions? Of course they would. Will they go on the same kind of vacation? I do not think so. You know, Jeff who values freedom and fun might go mountain climbing, sky diving, while Sam who values comfort and security may go on a cultural mu... more...

Is there a way to let money flow like a tap, instead of drip like a broken tap? Is it possible to go from one success to another, and lead the way? Is it possible to achieve your loftiest visions, and become the greatness that you seek? It is possible; however, realize there is a lot of work to make that happen. You need to work harder on yourself. The reason is that as humans in a society which is predominantly in the view that they are limited in ability, is also one which we find ourse... more...
