Success

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

Just A Mom

A woman, renewing her driver's license ,
Was asked by the woman at Registry to state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

'What I mean is, ' explained the woman at Registry,
'do you have a job or are you just a ...?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.

'I'm a MOm.'

'We don't list 'MOm' as an occupation,

'housewife' covers it,'
Said the recorder emphatically.


I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself

In the same situation.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,
Efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,
'Official Interrogator' or 'City Registrar.'

'What is your occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know.
The words simply popped out.
'I'm a Research Associate in the field of
Child Development and Human Relations.'

The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and
Looked up as though she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.
Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,
In bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest,
'just what you do in your field?'

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice,
I heard myself reply,
'I have a continuing program of research,
(what mother doesn't)
In the laboratory and in the field,
(normally I would have said indoors and out)
I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family)
And already have four credits (all daughters).
Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,
(any mother care to disagree?)
And I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers

And the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
Completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,
I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model,
(a 6 month old baby) in the child development program,
Testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records as someone more

Distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another MOm.'

Motherhood!

What a glorious career!
Especially when there's a title on the door.


Does this make grandmothers
'Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations'
And great grandmothers
'Executive Senior Research Associates?'
I think so!!!
I also think it makes Aunts '

Associate Research Assistants.'

Please send this to another Mom,
Grandmother,
Aunt,

And other friends you know.

May your troubles be less,

Your blessing be more,

And nothing but happiness come through your door!

Be kinder than necessary.. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life

When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

Driving Traffic with Twitter

Twitter is a social media networking referred to as micro-blogging. It ranks in the top three of all social networks, with Facebook and MySpace leading the way. However, Twitter is separate from both Facebook and MySpace since it is a micro-blogging platform. With Twitter, you can easily, simply, and conveniently drive traffic to your site by posting “tweets” or short messages throughout the day. You can also use Twitter with a mobile phone or a Black Berry, making it easy to promote your content and drive traffic to your site.

Whether you have a blog or website, everyone needs to attract visitors. Your company’s website or blog can gain a new following, all by signing up for a free Twitter account and using the service to add periodical updates. Whether you are selling new products, would like to advertise a special event or company outing, or simply want to improve customer relations and expand your customer base, you can do so easily and efficiently with Twitter.

The first step in driving traffic to your business with Twitter is to get a Twitter account. It’s free to sign up and you might be surprised to realize that some of your friends and contacts are already on Twitter. Once you are on, you can establish your account, upload a photo, and include a link to your blog or website. Twitter differs from social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook in the aspect that you won’t be able to upload your photos and store them on the site in personal photo albums, however, you can share your favorite pics and mobile uploads with your friends through your Twitter updates. Once you have established your account it’s time to get involved.

When on Twitter you can choose to follow various people. When you follow someone it is the equivalent of subscribing to his or her personal Twitter page. If someone posts an update, you’ll be able to read his or her post from you Twitter profile page. To follow someone simply look under his or her profile picture and click on the word follow. An easy way to find new people is to follow several people; before you know it they will return the favor and follow you.

You can also browse the people following those whom you are following. This is a great way to find more contacts and increase your friend base on Twitter. Additionally, when someone sends you an E-mail, you’ll get a notification straight to your personal or business E-mail inbox. This ensures that you are always up to date with any comments, questions, concerns, or replies that your followers are sending.

Though communicating with customers and establishing a large following is one of the greatest aspects of Twitter, those tools alone won’t necessarily drive traffic to your blog or website. The greatest advantage and benefit in using Twitter is the ability to post quick updates and include links back to your site. If you have added a new product to your site or company, you can post an update then create a link that will take followers directly to the site. You could create numerous promotional or marketing plans then post links to your events through Twitter, while effectively driving traffic to your site. With Twitter, the possibilities are virtually endless.

Someone asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true and incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.

Business Building with Twitter

Business Building with Twitter

Every business, whether online or offline can benefit from using Twitter. No matter what the nature of your business is, what type of product you manufacture or sell, or whether you are in the service industry, every company and business needs advertising. This is how Twitter can benefit and builds every business; through free advertising and marketing. It doesn’t matter what your company or business is, every business and organization needs a marketing strategy, promotion, and to increase its customer base. Twitter not only does this, but it does so easily.

A comprehensive marketing strategy is one of the most important tools every business must utilize. With the technological advances provided today, every company has the ability to reach numerous customers worldwide. It doesn’t matter if you work online or offline every company needs customers. When determining your marketing plan it’s important to consider all mediums available. Online marketing provides many advantages including the low and inexpensive cost, the ability to reach people on a global scale, and the ability to advertise your business services 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

One of the best benefits of building your business with Twitter is the fact that you can stay in touch with customers on a local or global scale. Your company might not be online, but if you have a mail order service, then your customer reach must be great. Likewise, if your business only serves those in the local community, staying in touch with your customer base through Twitter is an excellent option. It’s easy to add your twitter name to business cards and once you do, you’ll find that it doesn’t take long before your customers, friends, and even new ones begin following you. Regardless of the nature of your business you can add product updates, sales, coupons, special offers and marketing promotions all on Twitter.

Twitter is a micro blogging platform. This means that it is similar to a regular blog only smaller in size and function. When you communicate on Twitter you are giving short messages in a form similar to status updates. You can state anything from what you are doing at the moment, to new products your company is unveiling. Since it is micro blogging, you don’t need to worry about composing lengthy articles or newsletters to stay in touch with your customers or to promote your company.

Twitter is free to use and this is one of its greatest advantages as a marketing tool. It requires very little time to send out a “tweet” and you don’t need to lose valuable time that would be spent working to update your Twitter posts. Another factor to take into consideration is that you can tweet from a mobile phone or Black Berry. For those who might not have access to a computer 24/7 the ability to make calls from your mobile phone is a tremendous benefit. The ease and convenience of keeping in touch with your customers and the simplicity of attracting new ones through Twitter makes it an incredible business building tool that can be used by everyone, regardless of the nature of their business.

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?

On Line Dating

Should I or shouldn't I?

Looking at online dating? Which one is the best? Is it dangerous? I am sure many of these questions are running through your head. Personally I have tried many online dating sites the paid ones and the free ones. Each have something to offer. I met some jerks and some very nice men. I must say some I have a great friendship. Its nice to be able to bounce ideas and thoughts off a man who is only a great friend. You can get it from a male perceptive. Trust me I learned a great deal about myself and communications. We laugh at some of the old stuff each time.

Take a look at these online dating sites if you are still looking. Many offer discounts find the one that works best for you.

We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits.

I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.

Dear Lord,

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too..

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.Com
Amen
