How Positive Thinking About Others Helps You - FREE Articles Directory

‘Looking for the good in others’ is probably something you were taught to do in your early education. Elementary school teachers are pros at helping children to learn to keep an open mind about others and experiences. Now, as an adult, you like the idea of it, but may have trouble applying this principle in your everyday life.

Turns out that looking for the good in people and experiences is an excellent way to turn your thoughts from the negative, into the positive, more harmonious thoughts. Remember, apply this idea to both people AND experiences.

Consider that even people that you may think of as wicked, lazy or insignificant have some good qualities and have done some good deeds.

Also, consider that even experiences that you consider time-wasters or places you would rather not be, can have some underlying good qualities.

It is generally accepted that there was never a person who did not have some good qualities or who did not do some good deeds. There was never an experience that did not have something good in it, or closely connected to it.

The search for the good, if diligent and faithful need never be in vain! When you find the good, remember to treasure that you got there. When your habit of looking for the good in others is fully established, negative thoughts will seldom intrude!

Let’s illustrate the theory of finding the good in experiences with an example.

A young woman, living on a busy Manhattan street, complained that she could not sleep because the noises of the busy city street outside her house disturbed her. A colleague of hers suggested that every noise, whatever its character, had a musical note and she should try to find that note in each of the various sounds which she heard.

She decided to give it try. She abandoned all attempts to go to sleep and pursued in finding the musical note within the city street noises. Not surprisingly, she slept soundly all night.

Why was she able to find the sound sleep that had eluded her for so long? The explanation is that before she had focused on the discordant characteristics of the noises that she heard, and by thinking these thoughts, she enlarged her consciousness of the negative, and kept herself awake.

In her search for the musical notes, she lost sight of the disturbing negative conditions, and she fell asleep because the discord of the noises no longer disturbed her. She let her mind focus and she got her desired result.

The search for the good in others and experiences, is one of the best methods for substituting negative thinking with positive, congruent thinking. A word of advice, do not limit your attempt to search for the good only ‘in the moment’. What I mean is, when you are having a negative experience or with a negative person, don’t go “oh yeah, I have to look for the good in people and experiences.”

Instead, consider looking for the good a ‘life work’, constantly in exercise to eliminate negative thoughts.

When you are able to change your thinking so that you always ‘look for the good’, you will discover that your life will shine brighter and brighter.

Not only for you – but also for others around you…family, associates, co-workers, employees and friends. The plain fact is, people gravitate towards and want to spend time with others that look for the good in people and experiences.

Perhaps you have someone in your life right now that exudes the positive thinking lifestyle. Likely, others comment on how positive they are; that no matter what, they always see the bright side. They may comment on their positive outlook and that they are pleasant to be around and that nary a negative word comes out of their mouth.

Isn’t it time that the people in your life started making statements like that when describing you?

If you pause and ponder about the good in that person or experience, I promise that you will stop that negative thought dead in its track.

Google: Yahoo! Deal Not Bad For Competition

By Chris Crum 0

The other day, Eric Schmidt blamed Microsoft for fanning the flames of controversy over Google’s proposed advertising deal with Yahoo!. He did also note, however, that Google had probably failed to explain the deal well enough, and that this had contributed to said controversy as well.

Well, Tim Armstrong on the Google Public Policy Blog has taken the initiative and explained a little about just what the Google-Yahoo! deal will entail. Yesterday, he answered questions about ad pricing, and today he talked about competition, which is really the heart of the controversy, and the reason why the whole deal is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Armstrong says that the deal is not bad for competition, contrary to popular belief. He compares the deal to Toyota providing hybrid technology to competitor General Motors. Yahoo! plans to reinvest the money it makes from the deal into improving its own services, and Yahoo! will still have the freedom to make similar deals with other companies, should it choose to do so.

Yahoo! will still have its own ads in addition to Google’s, but the question has come up of why anyone would want to keep advertising with Yahoo!’s service. The answer to that is Yahoo! will be dictating when it wants to use Google ads. "They have stated that their plan is [to] show them primarily on pages where few or no ads currently appear," says Armstrong. "The only way for an advertiser to guarantee placement for their ads on Yahoo! is to advertise through the Yahoo! platform itself."

Armstrong also assures everyone that Google and Yahoo! will not share personally identifiable user data, which should alleviate potential privacy concerns. As for the notion that the Google-Yahoo! deal will control 90% of the search advertising market, Armstrong says it’s "about expanding the pie, not dividing it differently."

Schmidt said at a Media roundtable the other day that Google expected all of the scrutiny the deal is attracted, and that the company was not very worried about it because they have been "playing by the rules." As of now, Google still plans to go forward with the deal next month, provided it is not blocked by the government.

SEO Web Content: Good Writing, Good Business

By Joel Walsh 0

There’s a deadly myth about search engine optimization and writing for the web: that good SEO and good writing don’t go together.

As a website copywriter, I hear this myth repeated back to me all the time by new clients and prospects. “Don’t bother search-engine-optimizing the content,” they say. “Just make sure it is well written and the keywords will flow naturally into the content.” Or, they repeat the words of so many self-styled gurus: “don’t write for the search engines, write for the people who will be reading what you write.”

If you’re one of the people who believe there’s a conflict of interest between search engines and humans, you’re operating under two misconceptions:

* Misconception 1: you know more about what people want to read on the web than the search engines do.

* Misconception 2: you or your writer will just naturally write the content that people or search engines want, without consciously trying to meet their demands.

Why Search Engines Know More about Your Website Visitors than You

“I want a well-written web page, not a list of keywords.” It frightens me a bit when I hear this, since it demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of what search engines do.

A search engine is not simply a massive find function, like the one in the “Edit” menu of Microsoft applications. It does not just pull up any page that has the keyword in it X number of times. If it did, all pages that show up on search engine results would simply contain a list of the keywords.

Ultimately, writing for the search engines means writing for web surfers. Think about it: services like Google thrive on giving people the pages they want to read. If they consistently failed to give people what they wanted, people would stop using them.

What Your Website’s Visitors Want to Read

Most of the time, people don’t want to read on the web. Reading on a screen hurts the eyes. It doesn’t help that a lot of web pages make it harder with text that’s too small, backgrounds that are colored rather than white, and lots of extraneous graphics.

Besides, when it comes to reading matter, there is an overabundance of choice on the web, more than any library on earth. Of that, an unfortunate amount isn’t worth reading. Time must be rationed.

In fact, people treat a web page much as a search engine does: they scan it. In particular, they scan it for the keywords they entered into the search engine. If they arrived via a link from another website, they are still looking for words and phrases related to their interest–which are generally the same as the keywords people enter into search engines.

In short, Nobel-prize-winning literature makes bad web content. You have to write specifically for the web. That’s why the web hasn’t fueled much of a resurgence in the short story or other literary writing, dashing many hopes. Ebook versions of paper books have also disappointed expectations.

Newspapers are the only paper publications that have made a smooth online transition, precisely because they are written in short, to-the-point paragraphs that are easy to scan.

Still Think Good SEO Web Content Makes for Bad Reading?

You’ve just read almost to the end of a piece of search-engine-optimized web content. This article was optimized for the keywords, “SEO,” “search engine,” “search engines,” “keyword,” “keywords,” “search engine optimization,” and “writing.”

The keywords were present in headings and throughout the content. The content itself is easy to scan: paragraphs of one-three sentences, broken up by sub-headings every four paragraphs or so.

Naturally, those keywords are too broad for this page to have a chance of ranking high in search engines for them. But this page will get some of the atypical search keywords that account for as many as half of all searches. So, if someone types in a phrase like, “keyword writing search engine optimized content,” this page would have a pretty good chance of showing up.

To be sure, this article is on the long side for a web page. Most people won’t even scan more than 600 words of text; 250-500 is ideal.

But this article is destined primarily to be shown in an email newsletter, where attention spans are longer since people are more confident the source of the content can be trusted to repay their investment of time. Besides, as a well-structured page, it can be split into two or three pages according to the subheadings.

In short, there’s much more to writing well for the web than just writing well. If you’ve had enough sense to have your web content written professionally, have enough sense to take the advice of most website copywriters: search-engine-optimization for keywords and good web writing are the same thing.

…ON THE EISTEDDFOD

Minister for heritage Alun Ffred Jones will be at the National Eisteddfod. He has attended nearly all the festivals in the last 45 years.

“It is a very important event to me and the family,” he said. “It is a view shared by many thousands of Welsh people and it is a treasure that needs to be safeguarded.” He is particularly looking forward to Bryn Terfel’s concert.

“One of the dramas being performed, Yr Argau, a translation of The Weir by Conor McPherson, was commissioned by Ffilmiau’r Nant when I worked there and I am looking forward to seeing that performance too,” he said.

Many pet owners often dismiss problems in their senior cats and dogs as just a part of the aging process. But any signs of loss of function should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian and not ignored. Educating us about the very important topic of Cognitive Dysfunctional Syndrome or CDS is Dr. Lisa Radosta, D.V.M.. The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television visits Dr. Radosta鈥檚 office and receives invaluable advice on helping pets get the most from their golden years and learns of a beneficial nutraceutical called Novifit, from Virbac Animal Health. The segment airs in May and June. In addition viewers can see it anytime at www.thebalancingact.com/vitality.

鈥淥ld age is not a disease,鈥?Dr. Radosta says. 鈥淐ognitive Dysfunctional Syndrome (CDS) and age-related behaviors are manageable conditions.鈥?

She urges pet owners to talk to their veterinarians as soon as they see any changes in their pets鈥?behavior 鈥?particularly senior pets.

CDS, often referred to as pet senility, is characterized by a deterioration of cognitive abilities including spatial orientation, activity levels, and response to stimuli.

Environmental modification and enrichment, plus a nutraceutical option such as Novifit, can yield maximum results,鈥?says Dr. Radosta.

Novifit, she explains, 鈥渋s a safe, proven, first-intention option for the management of age-related behavioral changes and CDS.鈥?It is one of a line of products from Virbac Animal Health, which has been manufacturing pet health items for a quarter-century.

鈥淥wners should have realistic expectations about the outcomes of such treatments,鈥?she notes. 鈥淒ogs or cats with advanced stages of CDS will be harder to manage and improvements may take more time and possibly require more aggressive strategies. That is why it is important to catch CDS early.鈥?

How do You Go about Getting a Divorce in the UK?

The best way to let go of the pain caused by divorce would be to analyse what went wrong. Inasmuch as that would be a painful experience, with the flood of emotions you will go through, it will also be a time for self-revelation and inner healing. Divorce can be a painful process to go through, and more painful can be the fact that you do not know what your divorce options are. Are you feeling you do not know where to start? Do you think you are overflooded with options but do not know what is right for you? Being emotionally distraught and vulnerable will not get you anywhere. It will be especially important to hold yourself together because there will be a lot of important decisions that need to be taken, and a lot of relationships at stake. We have some guidelines you can follow if you have decided that divorce is the course of action you would want to pursue.

Guidelines for Getting a Divorce in the UK

Firstly, it is important to get a good solicitor. You would need a solicitor even if you were trying to reach an informal arrangement. You and your spouse would need different solicitors to represent each one of you separately. This would ensure that the agreement is legally valid.
You can obtain a “petition for divorce” from the solicitor. You need to be married for more than a year to be eligible for obtaining a petition for divorce.
It is important to understand that the court will grant divorce only if it is apparent that your marriage has reached an end. The reasons that will satisfy the court would have to be one or more of the following. You will also need to have adequate proof to support the following reasons:

1) Unreasonable behaviour by a husband or wife
2) Act of adultery by a husband or wife
3) Two years of separation, if you and your spouse agree to divorce
4) Five years of separation, if you and your spouse are not in agreement for a divorce
5) Desertion period of at least two years

When do you use a separation agreement? You can make use of this option if you are still unsure about getting a divorce. You would need to use a “deed of separation” to ensure that any arrangements pertaining to finances, child custody, or other plans are legally documented. The procedure for seeking separation is the same as that of divorce and the court will have the power to decide on your financial obligations. However, these financial obligations do not include pension-splitting. Therefore, if pension-splitting is your financial objective, then this might not be the correct option for you. In addition, legal separation does not allow you to remarry.
Once you have filed the petition, you have legally started the divorce process. If you are filing for the divorce, you will be called the “petitioner”, your spouse will be called the “respondent”, and any third party that may be involved will be called “co-respondent”. The court will then send the petition to your husband or wife and the co-respondent. Your spouse will have eight days to acknowledge that he or she has received the petition. If your spouse fails to do that, then the court will appoint someone to serve the petition in person.
The stage wherein the judge decides whether or not there are proper grounds for divorce is called “Decree Nisi” whereas” Decree Absolute” is the final stage of a divorce. You will be considered no longer married only after you obtain Decree absolute.
Collaborative law is another approach to seek divorce. It allows the couples to amicably and logically resolve dispute amongst each other without bearing the burden of going to court. You will still need your respective lawyers to represent you and answer to any legal queries you may have. The major advantage of collaborative law is that you can bring in your team of experts such as child specialists, accountants, and financial advisors to assist you in the divorce process.
Mediation is another alternative to avoid the hassle of going to court. Mediation is a process wherein both the partners communicate with each other to sort out their issues in front of an independent mediator. Mediation is in no way similar to marriage counselling because opting for mediation means that you and your spouse have decided on divorce. You will still need a solicitor for the proceedings because a mediator will only give you general advice and not specific personal advice. Therefore, it would be beneficial to discuss your issues with your solicitor before and during the mediation process.

Internet Marketing’s Triple M Strategy: Message to Market Match

If you have done the triple S and sucessfully sharply segmenting your sublist, then another triple treat would be most appropriate as a followup to your triple S strategy.

The triple M strategy stands for message to market match. It is mainly composed of three parts, and this is also one of the building blocks of your internet marketing career if you apply it and hone it as part of your marketing arsenal kit.

You will have to master it, in addition to other marketing techniques, so that you can make the best use of your list and your other internet marketing resources.

Make the right message

Many an internet marketer that flopped was not due to the fact that they did not have good products. Rather, they did not market it to the right people. When you have successfully determined who your target market is, the next thing you must do is to make the right message for your target market. You speak according to their need and do away with other details.

Your target market will not really care about your business unless they see that it will be beneficial to whatever it is that they are doing. Your message is important. And it must be specific and convincing if you want it to work.

Sending it to the proper market

Now that you have formulated the message, you must send it to the proper market. That鈥檚 the vital part. You having a general list and a good message do not necessarily mean you are entitled your hand out your sales pitch to everyone and get good returns for it. You have to think it over.

In your target market, there are sublists, which you may have encountered from the triple S method. And your right message must be addressed to the sublist which you deem to be able to respond to it positively.
