The Dating Challenge: How to Make It Happen with a Woman
by rosana sammon - Wednesday, 9 January 2008, 12:23 AM
Anyone in the world
By Jeff McCoy Dating women is a complex and, for many men, baffling challenge. I've been studying and writing about the subject of dating and romance for several years. Men face many obstacles in the dating arena. In my conversations with lonely or dissatisfied men, several areas stand out as being consistent problems that get in the way of dating success. One of the most common challenges is how to make romance happen; how to move the ball down the court. Many men who struggle to be successful in dating complain that they don't know how to create romance. Although they meet women who seem to show interest, they often get confused about where they are in the dating process and what to do next. Consequently, they make foolish mistakes and, in the end, cause promising dating opportunities to go south. Dating instruction typically pays short shrift to this important topic. Women consistently complain that many men are clueless, forever missing signals or doing things out of the natural order, putting the cart before the horse as the saying goes. Clearly, what these men need is a system that clarifies where they stand at any moment and what to do next. My associate, Neil Grossman, and I created just such a system which we call the Courtship Continuum. It starts the moment a man notices or meets a woman and proceeds through nine easily managed stages, culminating in a sexual encounter. Heres how it works: At each stage of the Courtship Continuum, we define a goal that will move the process forward, and we suggest what action to take to achieve that goal. Understand, a goal is not an outcome. A man must be accepting of whatever reaction the woman has to the action he initiates. Although womens reactions vary, they all fall into one of three categories: positive, neutral, or negative. The quality of her reaction determines his response, so the process works like so: The man formulates a goal upon which to take action. Then, he interprets her reaction and decides what to do next. We describe this process as an action/ reaction/response model. The following is an example of the model, focusing on a mans first goal: to get the womans attention Lets say youve noticed an attractive woman. The first step in capturing her heart is to get her attention. Your goal at this stage is to get the woman to see and acknowledge you. You do this by making eye contact with her. Here is the action you must take: When at a distance, place yourself in her line of sight. Initiate steady eye contact with her, and hold your gaze for a moment. Then, smile warmly and openly and give her a nod. This communicates your interest in a confident, non-threatening way. Her reaction will fall into one of three categories: A Positive Reaction is one in which she demonstrates interest. She may look at you and smile or give you quick darting glances. She may look first at you, then down, smiling shyly; a sign of submission. Notice if her body language is open to you. Are her arms opened or folded? Her body may be pointing toward you. She may sit up more straight. A Neutral Reaction may simply mean she hasnt yet noticed you. Though sometimes difficult to recognize, consider it a neutral reaction if it is not clearly positive nor negative. A Negative Reaction is easy to spot: She deliberately averts her eyes, looking up and away. Her face is cold or passive. She may close her arms or abruptly turn away. So, what should your response be? If her reaction is positive: Approach her immediately. Dont wait for the ideal moment. The time to act is now. If you are already standing next to her, just say hi and start a conversation. If her reaction is neutral: either try again to initiate eye contact or simply make your approach. If you receive a negative reaction: dont take it personally. You have no idea whats in her head. There is an infinite number of possible reasons. Whatever her reason, just accept that shes not interested and look for someone else. There you have one complete step in creating romance. Applying our action- reaction-response model leaves a man in control of his romantic life. Its a great confidence builder. This first step would be followed by eight more steps: approaching her, building rapport, asking for her number, asking her out on a date, planning and carrying out a casual date, a romantic date, a first kiss, and a first sexual encounter. At each step, there are obvious actions to take. The important thing to remember is that it is her reaction to his action that determines his next step. By anticipating her possible reactions and choosing ahead of time how he will react, he avoids blundering, looking foolish and ruining his chances. As he proceeds methodically through the eight remaining steps in creating romance, he does so with the confidence that comes from being in charge and being comfortable with any outcome.

Philadelphia Church of God Leads Laodicean Era (Conclusion)

Anyone in the world
By David Ben-Ariel continued... What's BEWILDERING to me is the different responses I've received from several of God's ministers who have read Beyond Babylon - towards it and me - before and after Dennis Leap's PARTIAL review! (Malachi 2:9). When I faithfully sent a computer disk with my book on it to minister Wayne Turgeon, he graciously read all of it and responded: "Of, how I admire those with both the ability to write as well as the courage to put down their ideas on paper! I felt that you have a very gripping style of writing that uses twists and slants of words or phrases to make your point. I looked up every scripture you referenced and it became clear that you have really spent a lot of time in your Bible. Being Jewish, I think, gives you an added perspective that I could never have... Much of what you have written is not 'new revelation' as I'm sure that you'd readily agree... It's certainly not my place to determine if what you believe God has shown you is true or not, but would you mind presenting Mr. Flurry with an abbreviated version of what you feel is inspired... as I highly doubt that he would have time to read your whole book." What does he mean it's not his place to determine if what I wrote is true or not? God holds every INDIVIDUAL responsible to prayerfully determine whether something is of God or not! How did we prove Malachi's Message was biblical? Did we rely solely on our minister's evaluation? Worldwide all over again? Mind you, unlike Mr. Armstrong's lengthy manuscript of close to 300 typed pages, Beyond Babylon is only 1/2 that size, literally! I suggested Gerald Flurry read the first and last chapters. Mr. Turgeon told me Flurry returned it to him, saying something like, "He's always sending us stuff." I have written short letters to the point, like correcting him about Mount Hermon and Mount Carmel after he continued to confuse the two in several articles. I'm familiar with them because I've been blessed to have lived next to both of them. Mr. Turgeon also wrote that I was a little "too radical" for Mr. Flurry and wondered what I'd said or done that had given him that impression. I explained it's because I took exception to his careless condemnation of those religious Jews who want the Temple built as "extremists." I wrote that it's extremist for secular, humanist Jews to oppose converting the Promised Land into a Holy Land! Flurry was surprised and had also written against the STRONG EMOTIONS some feel over Jerusalem and Israel. How could God use someone so distant over there?! Some of us have a GOD-GIVEN LOVE for Jerusalem and a genuine passion for Judah that's most personal; we're not a stranger in OUR Homeland! (Psalms 102:14; Ps. 137; Isaiah 62). That's not "radical," it's BIBLICAL! Minister Carl Craven also read Beyond Babylon and acknowledged it as biblical. He said he hadn't looked up every Scripture, but was sure if he had they'd also be used correctly. I commented that I know it's biblical, but that I was just waiting for headquarters to prove that to themselves as well. He expressed an understanding of how it's difficult to be patient meanwhile. When Dennis Leap did call, it was to instruct me to STAY HOME FROM SABBATH SERVICES while he looked at the book! I didn't recall such an unusual request being made of Mr. Armstrong, and recognized it went against "innocent until proven guilty," but obliged with the hope of returning soon (John 7:51). "Prophesy Not!" After some time, I called Mr. Leap. He said he'd read PARTS of the book, and that it wasn't important whether Mr. Flurry had read it or not (even though I'd been led to believe he'd pass it on to him). He stated, "You use some pretty strong language in there," to which I replied, "But it's biblical, isn't it?" "Well, yes, but...". He also noted, like Mr. Turgeon, that most of it is what we already teach. I agreed and said that that should serve as a GOOD SIGN, but that the NEW REVELATION about the Two Witnesses and Europe is firmly built upon that foundation. Dennis Leap found it difficult to accept that a LAY MEMBER would write such a book. He admitted Flurry had received bits of revelation from lay members, but NEVER a whole book! I didn't want to be judged by precedent, but by whether or not what I'd written is biblical. If I was in error, then it was his duty to clearly show me where FROM THE BIBLE, like Aquilla and Priscilla helped improve Apollos' understanding (Acts 18:26). I was informed if I wanted to return to services, I would have to forget Beyond Babylon, act like a "regular lay member," and basically deny that it was from God! Like Mr. Armstrong, I had PROVEN what I'd written to be TRUE. Actually, Leap didn't say that it wasn't or attempt to refute it! I told Mr. Leap I didn't want to play politics. By his insistence that I must be a MINISTER to write such a book, he was still looking to MEN OF STATURE! And since I'm not one, he was demanding that I "PROPHESY NOT!" (Amos 2:12). He got very angry when I mentioned this and said he was severing all ties between the PCG and myself, and that I wasn't to claim any association with the PCG. He said I was now free to go and do whatever I felt God would have me to do with BB and not worry whether or not he or Mr. Flurry had read it! When I expressed the hope of reconciliation, he retorted we could when I repented. Of what? OBEYING GOD RATHER THAN MAN? Is that "rebellion?" Mr. Armstrong WASN'T an ordained minister either when he wrote what he felt GOD would have him to share! The Identity Doctrine also wasn't so much new truth, as a new way of presenting it. I'm sure glad he didn't let those two points stop him! Aren't you? So I was UNJUSTLY DISFELLOWSHIPPED for believing God used me to write a book, and MARKED for exposing the facts about Mr. Leap's folly! Will Dennis Leap stop being jealous of what God would have me to offer (1 Sam. 2:29)? Will Gerald Flurry HONOR GOD more than a man, and recognize Beyond Babylon belongs to God and HIS Church? (II Sam. 19:5-7; Ga. 2:9). Will Flurry again uphold God's Word or try and prop up Leap and fall with him? (Isa. 22:19). Did God remove Mr. Amos so Dennis Leap could be used to try us all?(Nahum 1:11). WHY'S THE BIBLE OUT OF THE PICTURE? (In The Philadelphia Trumpet's photo of Mr. Flurry). Does Mr. Flurry feel he's now got it made? (1 Cor. 10:12). A picture's worth a thousand words! No Cowards in the Kingdom! May God give COURAGE to His people! If they're AFRAID to question Dennis Leap's serious actions, how can God expect them to stand up to the world (Jer. 12:5; Rev. 21:8)? God's sick of sycophants and tired of the timid! We're to be bold as lions (Dan. 11:32)! We're supposed to be ready to die for one another, not betray and desert each other! Yet too often the household of faith has lost its warn and loving environment for an intimidating atmosphere of fear and oppression (Jer. 12:6). It's pretty bad when you can't trust your own family (Jer. 9:4). Brethren turning in brethren to the "authorities" for wrong reasons and maliciously reporting on others (1 Cor. 5:8). How COLD-HEARTED (Matt. 10:32-40). God pronounces WOE to those who support wrong judgments (Isa. 5:32) and CONDEMNS IT as an ABOMINATION (Prov. 17:15). He speaks against selling out someone to gain an advantage (Ex. 23:8). Those who've become accomplices to CHARACTER ASSASSINATION haven't just abandoned a Church member, they're guilty of BETRAYING CHRIST! (Ex. 20:16; Matt. 10:33). It's actually God's law they've thrown out and His Word they've despised (Isa. 5:24). You can't treat someone so hatefully and fool God that you love Him (1 John 4:20). You might turn your back on a brother, but you're going to FACE GOD (Mark 9:42)! Whether you've sold out to curry favor with a minister, or to stay put in an organization or position - that "blood money" will COST YOU YOUR LIFE! God will JUDGE SUCH PEOPLE (if they don't repent) and throw them down from their high and mighty imaginations and lofty positions (Isa. 22:15-19; Deut. 32:36). For those bent on JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS blindly, acting like GOOD NAZIS, God's going to give them over to Europe! If that's what you want, that's what you'll get! FATHER Knows Best! Too many are still looking to men to save them! Is it up to Gerald Flurry to decide who'll enter God's Kingdom? Of course not, and he'd readily agree, but brethren it's just as BLASPHEMOUS to believe it's up to him or any other MAN to decide who can go to Petra! Which minister was crucified for you? (1 Cor. 1:12- 13; 3:3-9). Into what surname were you baptized? If GOD put you into HIS Church, can any man put you out? If God gave you His Holy Spirit, can any minister take it away? If God finds you worthy to escape, can any man prevent it? (Luke 21:36). WHOSE APPROVAL ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? (John 9:22; 13:42-43). Aren't you willing to be like Jesus, who was forsaken by all? Aren't you willing to follow Jesus outside the camp, bearing His reproach and suffering His shame? (Heb. 13:12-13; 2 Tim. 1:8). Those who put an IDOLATROUS TRUST in ministers or politicians are going to discover they can't deliver! (Deut. 32:36-39; Hosea 13:10). Mortals can't save you or protect you. Besides, if you're only trying to save your skin, you'll lose your hide! Only Jesus Christ can offer salvation, and only those whom the FATHER finds worthy will escape. It's not up to any pastor general or minister. Many of them will get slaughtered with THEIR sheep! (1 Cor. 9:27; Isa. 46:2). If God could provide the "travel arrangements" for Enoch, Elijah and Philip - INDIVIDUALS - can't He take care of you? (Acts 8:39; Rev. 12:6; Jer. 3:14). God won't forget you or leave you behind (Heb. 6:10; Isa. 49:15). He knows the scattered condition of His saints and the reasons why, and promises us: "I will seek that which is lost, and bring that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick..." (Ezek. 34:16). The Good Sheherd doesn't forsake His flock! God's Two Witnesses are SOON to take the stand! They'll testify before a WORLD COURT, and to many it will sound familiar - having read about it in Beyond Babylon! It's only biblical that just as surely as Europe's on the rise, so too are God's star witnesses (Isa. 60:1). But when have proud and stubborn RELIGIOUS LEADERS ever accepted God's change of guard or venue (Rev. 11:8)? Sardis didn't. Joseph Tkach didn't. Will Gerald Flurry graciously PASS THE BATON to the Two Witnesses? Or will history repeat itself? We'll see!

Advice - Family Relationships are Made - Maintained - and Enhanced Through Action
by rosana sammon - Sunday, 6 January 2008, 11:55 PM
Anyone in the world
By Shevach Pepper Important straight forward advice: family relationships are made and bettered by ACTION. Sounds simple, right? But many people spend hours and hours, night after night, month after month surfing the web or reading articles about how to better their relationships. They read until their head bursts with inspiration, anecdotes, and good advice about family relationships but unfortunately they never DO too much so they remain with poor relationships. I agree that you should so some research and seek out advice to better family relationships. However too much thought and not enough action actually hinders reaching your goal to have healthy, positive and wholesome relationships. Here are two reasons why: *ILLUSION: When we plan and research too much we fantasize and believe that we have already reached the goal so we stop working. This idea is powerfully illustrated in a parable by Aesop many years ago. Patty the Milkmaid was going to market carrying her milk in a pail on her head. As she went along she began calculating what she would do with the money she would get for the milk. "I'll buy some fowls from Farmer Brown," said she, "and they will lay eggs each morning, which I will sell to the parson's wife. With the money that I get from the sale of these eggs I'll buy myself a beautiful new dress and hat; and when I go to market, won't all the young men come up and speak to me! Polly Shaw will be that jealous; but I don't care. I shall just look at her and toss my head like this. As she spoke she tossed her head back, the Pail fell off it, and all the milk was spilt. So she had to go home and tell her mother what had occurred. "Ah, my child," said the mother, "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched." * DETERIORATION: Lukewarm, problematic or dead relationships usually grow worse with time, no matter how justified and honorable the reason for not dealing with it. For instance, if your child has a tooth ache but you don't want to bring him to a dentist until you do extensive research on different modern methods of filling cavities, who is the best dentist in your neighborhood and the least painful way of doing it. Although you only have little Johny's best interest in mind, if you don't get him to a dentist this little cavity could develop into a root canal! It is the same with relationships: if you don't do something to better them they are likely to down-spiral until it will be very hard to fix up. So, for your own happiness, take my advice: family relationships are made, maintained and enhanced only through action and not by brooding and planning to do something.

Do You Have What It Takes to Become a Model?
by rosana sammon - Friday, 4 January 2008, 10:27 PM
Anyone in the world
By Lynn Walls When you think of the word "model", images of men and women with perfect complexions, incredible bodies and wonderful wardrobes are probably the first things to come to mind. But modeling is much more than that and the need for "non-traditional" models is probably more prevalent than you imagine. If you consider advertising, media and books that use photos of real people and places, you can see that you don't have to be a perfectly-proportioned person with a flawless look to find modeling opportunities. That gives rise to the question, "Do you have what it takes to be a model?" If you're interested in modeling but you need experience, you should likely begin your search locally. Every city that has an advertising company probably needs models. In the larger cities where magazines and other media are produced and printed, you'll also find a need for people willing to model. Almost every catalog, flyer and circular that arrives in your mailbox includes photos of at least a few people who were willing to model for that publication. The opportunities are out there but you have to be willing to go after them. Consider the local advertising agency. Especially if you're talking about an agency in a smaller city with limited financial resources, the search for quality models is continuous. They need people willing to model with and be spokesperson for area businesses that are intent on producing commercials with local faces. Magazines are also a good source of modeling opportunities. For example, a magazine accepts a story from a freelance writer about mothers to be printed in the Mother's Day edition. Stories are always more appealing if there is art to catch the reader's eye and the magazine begins its search for appropriate models for this story. They don't need a cover girl - they need a mother (or at least a woman who can look like one). Think you don't have the figure for modeling? Catalogs are another good source of modeling opportunities. Apparel companies don't just sell clothing for the men and women with perfect bodies. The fact that not every woman is a "perfect size six" means that not all clothing offered will be a size six. What better way to entice the smaller than normal woman (or those larger than normal) to choose a particular product than by showing how it looks on other small or large women? This creates an excellent opportunity for those who will never fit into a size six dress to give modeling a try. If you are fortunate enough to have the perfect body, complexion and look for traditional modeling, you still might need to start with the less-traditional modeling jobs. No matter what kind of modeling you want to do, remember that it boils down to hard work in sometimes less-than-ideal conditions. Catalogs, magazines and advertisers will do photo shoots well ahead of the season. That means that you could find yourself modeling swimsuits on the beach while it's still too cold to be on the beach, or wrapped up in ski gear in front of a crackling fire in mid-summer. But if modeling truly appeals to you, you might just find that you do have what it takes to become a model. Copyright 2005 by Lynn Walls. All rights reserved. Looking for information about modeling?

Hurricanes and Relationships
by rosana sammon - Friday, 4 January 2008, 01:04 AM
Anyone in the world
By Lance Winslow Hurricanes can be a time of adversity, destruction and devastation, however they can also be a time of building relationships and meeting new friends. There is something about the human character and the innate characteristics of the human species which bonds people together who have lived through adversity. Many times soldiers in war develop very close bonds after going through a battle in a very real life or death situation with the enemy. Many athletes say that when they go through a championship playoff game together they feel a sense of bonding and that bonding lasts in long-term friendships and relationships for years to come. Hurricanes are a negative thing, but that does not mean that they have to be. The 2005 Atlantic tropical hurricane season, brought devastation to the Gulf Coast of the United States, but it also bonded all Americans in a common cause. If you fail to evacuate or even if you go through the mandatory evacuation that is required by the rules and regulations of your state you may find yourself closer to your loved ones and friends who also had to endure the situation of the hurricane. During the 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season perhaps you should be thinking about the relationships and long-term friendships that you will build due to mother nature. Think of this in 2006.

Torturing Effective in Gathering Intel
by rosana sammon - Thursday, 3 January 2008, 01:00 AM
Anyone in the world
By Lance Winslow If we are to listen to the rhetoric on the news we see that the civilized world does not have the stomach for torture? Yet at the same time we watch the cutting off of heads of civilians? These are not soldiers of an Army, these are International Terrorists who hold civilization for ransom using murderer on the innocent; they are sub-human. Why is torture inappropriate? Some say it is ineffective, but how would they know that? How on Earth can anyone say Torturing does not work in getting Intel? Of course it works, as long as you do it right and have the resources to follow up on the leads, so that cannot be debated. What can be debated is; if a Democracy could ever agree to it or not. Obviously ours cannot, but that does not mean that torture will not yield good intelligence or that torturing doesnt work. We obviously do not have the stomach to deal with the reality of the situation judging by this cross-section of media stories. Likewise just because a group on a website, in the media proclaim that torturing is wrong or doesnt work, does not mean they are right or very good understanders of human nature. Be careful what you believe when you watch TV and be careful on personifying these murderous International Sub-Human Terrorists as humans. They kill and take pleasure in it. They kill innocent people for some radical insane view of the world. The only way to deal with them, well, lets just say it would not include giving them cake and cookies and telling them that they need a time out for minute to think about it. We are going to have to come to terms with the reality of what we are dealing with and stop listening to those who want us to appease this element. All moderate Muslims, need to take a stand now and get these folks to stop, other wise Torture will be the least of our worries. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.

How's Your Elevator Pitch?
by rosana sammon - Tuesday, 1 January 2008, 07:34 PM
Anyone in the world
By Mike Myatt One of the first and most important professional communication techniques I was taught in business was the importance of developing an Elevator Pitcha very short statement describing what it is that you do. In fifty words or less (about 30 45 seconds) you should be able to communicate who you are, what you do, who you do it for and how people benefit from what you do. What I have come to realize over the years, is that while even the most novice of sales people tend to have an elevator pitch, very few C-suite executives or entrepreneurs have adopted the practice. Moreover, most of the elevator pitches that I hear are not very effective and have obviously not been refined to the point of becoming a strategic advantage. In fact many times even if the professional has developed an elevator pitch, they dont use it. Its almost as if there is some unwritten rule that once youve achieved a certain station in life that you can ignore the basic fundamentals of good business and coast along resting solely on your laurelsIt is the people that subscribe to this theory that seem to fall the farthest, fastest and hardestI would strongly recommend that wherever you are in your career that you always pay attention to the basics that made you the successful person that you are today. I believe so strongly in the value of a good elevator pitch that I have developed nearly 20 different variations which allow for their appropriate use based on environment, audience, need, service line, time availability, context, and situation. This gives me the ability to make a quick assessment of the situation at hand and to put my proverbial best foot forward. A well crafted elevator pitch will allow you to introduce yourself with credibility that engenders confidence while you are communicating a strong benefit statement that addresses a fear, need or potential painful situationPut simply, it sets the hook. Here is the technique that I use and that I teach to my clients: My name is (name, title, company) I specialize in assisting (target audience) with (value proposition). This can normally be done in fifty words or less (if the introduction has already been made with significantly fewer words) which can then be followed up by a short example of how you can help someone achieve their goal, overcome their fear or avoid a painful situationFollowing are a few examples of my elevator pitches: Version 1: This is my informal version that I use when the introduction has already been made and Im asked what I do for a livingI help people align their energies and efforts with their passions because its simply been my experience that most peoples daily actions are not in true alignment with their goals. 30 words Version 2: My name is Mike Myatt. Im the managing director at N2growth and we specialize in helping executives build a dominant personal brand so that they can achieve both increased job security and maximize earnings ability. 35 words Version 3: My name is Mike Myatt. Im the managing director at N2growth and we specialize in helping executives who are not happy with their current situation by serving as a catalyst for positive change and growth. 35 words Version 4: My name is Mike Myatt. Im the managing director at N2growth and we specialize in assisting C-suite executives and entrepreneurs with growing their revenue, their talent and their brand. 29 words Version 5: My name is Mike Myatt. Im the managing director at N2growth and we specialize in taking executives who are spread too thin and show them how to regain control by maximizing their impact and leveraging their resources. 37 words Each of the elevator pitches above has a short story that provides an example in support the statement made and demonstrates how weve been successful at achieving the desired outcome with others. A good elevator pitch can be used as a personal or corporate branding tool that can serve you well in both business and social environments. It can serve as an introduction or calling card, an ice-breaker or attention grabber, the lead-in to a sales presentation, VC or private equity pitch, a networking tool or a myriad of other beneficial applications. Create your elevator pitch todaythen practice it, never stop refining it, and most importantly, use it frequently. Mike Myatt is the Chief Strategy Officer at N2growth.

By Natalie Arton Getting over strong feelings for your ex can be a very hard task to do. Even after a while your heart keeps longing for him/her, but on the other hand your mind tells you that getting back together may cause you unnecessary pain and sufferings. No one can give you a definite answer to the question, Should I get back together with my ex? You have to find this answer inside of you. However, there are certain clues that can help you to make the right decision about whether you want to attempt saving this relationship or not. You definitely dont want to get back with your ex if in the past he/she used violence or mental abuse. In this case, no matter how many promises this person is making, there is no sense in exposing yourself to the future possible danger. Any promises that your ex partner is making, he/she should prove by actions, not by words. For example, if your ex has cheated on you several times during your relationship, there is a very high possibility that he/she will do it again. By giving him/her second, third tenth chance you are setting yourself up for disappointment and heartbreak. It is also not a good idea to get back with your ex boyfriend/girlfriend if you broke up a short time ago and still feel that your emotions are too tangled and complex to make a rational decision. Give yourself some time and space to think things over. Usually it is suggested that you take a months break for every year that you have spent together with your ex partner. If after that time you will decide that you can meet someone better, then there is no point of getting back. But if you still feel strong incompatibility between the two of you and your ex feels the same way about you, you should definitely give your relationship a second try. Sometimes we end the relationship under the influence of impulse, because we are tired of fighting or simply want to hurt another person. Later we can realize that we have made a mistake and that we still want to be with that person. In this case I suggest you discuss your feelings honestly with your ex and do everything possible to save this relationship! Someone has once said that, light cannot exist without darkness, just like love cannot exist without a breakup. Only when we are apart with the beloved one, we can fully understand and appreciate the meaning of true love. If you still love your ex, dont let this beautiful feeling die, fight for it!

By Lance Winslow What if finding the perfect high paying job were easy? Would we appreciate it as much or treasure our good fortune? What if you simply found that perfect job within minutes of posting it on the Internet not more than a mile from your home? Better yet what if some was going to pay you to sit a home and work 5-6 hours per day in your underwear? We have all heard of such jobs and many people who hear this think to themselves; hey were can I sign up? Well in reality there are a few such jobs, but not that many and generally they are specialized but if you have that certain skill you maybe able to work yourself into such a situation? If you got such a job would you value it? Would you complain? Ninety percent of people either hate or tolerate their present jobs? Is that because they took the first job which was close to their needs rather than what they truly wanted to do? Or maybe they took a good paying job, which over commits them and tramples on their perceived needs of free time? Some folks once they have the job they desire they immediately want more; more money, more benefits and a better schedule with less hours? Are you one of these folks? If so what if YOU found that perfect job within minutes of searching, would you be happy then? Well, would you in six months? Well, then what would make you happy then? Well, why not go do that?
