To Be Successful, You Must Be Healthy!

Your health is precious, don’t waste it.

From an early age, we must preserve it by living a healthy, balanced life. physical strength, vitality is almost natural when you’re young, inevitably it disappears in the prime of life if we are negligent if we do not pay attention to our health.

You must avoid wasting your physical potential by drinking too much stimulants, like alcohol, and taking drugs. You must eat healthy, avoid gaining weight, and get enough sleep. These habits can only be beneficial for your success in the future,  they will generate professional success and longevity.

“He who wants to travel far, will take care of his mount,” says the proverb.

Do not neglect your health, it is the basis of your success!

Down with unnecessary anxiety!
Worrying about trifles, not knowing how to disconnect from your professional concerns may have adverse consequences on your physical condition: anxiety, stress causes irritability, insomnia, which lead, in turn, to fatigue, lack of lucidity, devolution and decreased muscle tone and energy.  In short, inefficiency at work becomes inevitable.
It’s not stimulants, drugs that will improve things, quite the contrary. The incessant anxiety causes a rapid physical deterioration (wrinkles, white hair) and moral decay (gloom that blocks creativity, reflection).

How to fight this?
Anxiety does not reach those in excellent health, people that are happy, optimistic and full of hope. So think positive, be less anxious, and this will multiply your strength, your vitality and it will translate in your success.

Consider your body, your health as a subject of success, of victory.

Fight against the tendency of many to consider the slightest ache as the end as in the beginning of the forfeiture. Overcome your anxiety about this. Do not see everything on the dark side. Your body, your organs are your allies, not your enemies. You must think of them as being at your side as a pledge of your success. Heal once and for all the conditions that poisons your life everyday, as a toothache, or an ingrown toenails … and you will never think about it again.
Do not succumb to laziness continuously. Be active. Activity is life, idleness is death. Do you say “I’m tired, I will rest on my favorite chair for a while”, fight it, overcome your carelessness. Make it a habit not to give in to this very dangerous trend which will inevitably affect your mind. Everyone has bad moments avoid succumbing to them, get up, get busy, meet people, walk, get fresh air and the “evil” will disappear. Or if it’s real fatigue, dispose of it by taking a micro-nap (20 minutes is enough) or enjoying a sitting massage session (which relaxes and re-energizes in 15 minutes).
Take control of your mind, your body!

Visualize yourself healthy and you will!

Look at hypochondriacs, see how they are unhappy, they have no life. Do not imagine yourself having diseases. Replace your morbid thoughts with positive happy thoughts and you will see that you will feel better. Use, for example, this autosuggestion: “Every day and in every way I am getting better and better.”

Mens sana in corpore sano! (A healthy mind in a sound body)
Of course, you have to feed your brain with studies but without energy, without vitality, the brain is empty, exhausted and it is doomed to failure. Storing information in the brain is not enough, it takes fuel to make it effective. This fuel is healthy food, physical activity, recreation.

A body and mind in top shape will allow you a greater concentration and a greater work capacity. So you can react faster and more easily take advantage of opportunities. Nothing works without good health. Preserve it, pamper it. You will only be more optimistic, happier, more powerful,  more excited, and be the master of your destiny.

How The Baby Boomer Hippie Era Changed The world!

Quite a few baby boomers would choose to forget that one of the movements that’s defined the identity of there era was the period focused by lack of a greater word, the hippies. This term that seems a little weird and ancient had tremendous power in the mid to late 60s it carried the impact of important social transformation plus a massive adjustment in public values as well as conscience. Also, it’s oftentimes a very embarrassing time for the baby boomer generation, it can be also a instructive portion of their history and it deserves esteem for that simple reason.

Being truthful, the baby boomers were not all hippies. As is regularly the case, the hippie movement was something that obtained appreciable press coverage, but at the time it consists of only a small percentage of the population of baby boomers. As a percentage, really few within this generation basically joined up with the hippies movement. Yet for the reason that the hippies were a colorful, unconventional, group of individuals as well as sinners, they tickle people every occasion there was a public spectacle brought on by a hippie gathering.

But despite their small numbers, at the time hippie lifestyle sent waves of change in society. Part triggered by a complete discontent with the Vietnam War. As a result, when the hippie movement became linked to the anti-war movement, to the level where there was practically no difference between them. Add to that great modifications in youth culture brought on by the explosion of innovative music types and changes in life-style and worldview that promoted the new frontrunners within the cultural world of rock then you’ve a formula for the hippie movement that generate a major adjustment in the social values of a generation.

Rather than simply look back with amusement plus a little disgust on the hippies , it may well be better to address this important period of our past and find out the very good element that this piece of history brought us due to to the generation of baby-boomer. Though at first glance many of us associate hippies with drug use and free love (eg sex), although the movement was really founded on tremendous sense of worth, morality and social responsibility.

The youth movement of the time held a mirror to the face of the community and asked them to take a hard look. In addition, for the very first time, it held public figures responsible for behavior taken that have afflicted the population interest. It was absolutely revolutionary, and yes it made the population much more demanding and scrutinizing of our governments since. And that is a good thing.

There was a strong thread of ethics and beliefs within the hippie social system even though different from what America and the world was used to, was based upon a fierce commitment to right and wrong within the hippie or counterculture movement . With a strong commitment to the values of this society, hippies and associates have been daring and uncompromising in their desire to put themselves on the line to see their ideals translate into public policy. This was part of the hippie subculture that made her so explosive. Because the youth movement was so desirous to demonstrate and make grandiose as well as flamboyant public statements to stress their political, ethical or moral outrage,things developed in ways the country had never seen before.

The counterculture of the nineteen sixties has practically put the power of change back within the hands of the individuals. That the hippie movement has to given back this capacity to society is some thing for which we must be grateful.

 

What Does It Take To Live a Comfortable Life in Retirement

As baby boomers in general are rapidly approaching what has been defined as “retirement age” it’s a big issue as to whether there are sufficient investment in place to retire and be able to live a comfortable life in retirement. There is actually plenty of talk that the Government’s social security system is probably not capable of withstanding the high demand from the baby boomer age group will put on them. While only a few baby boomers seek to rely on the capital that is there, although we all pay our dues every month.

In addition to this concern, the strategy used by our parents to work hard for the same company for 50 years and retire with a substantial monetary package and a gold watch has taken the route of the dinosaurs.

A very long time ago, American companies began withdrawing retirement packages as an effective and beneficial retirement fund. Many baby boomers themselves see the approaching retirement with insufficient income to support them.

What is really needed is a reliable plan to attack this specific dilemma despite the fact that baby boomers still have 10 to 15 good years of work left in them. Here are some ideas of what this program could be

A simpler life.

In the case your children finish college and leave home to live on their own, your life could be greatly facilitated. You wouldn’t need such a big house and and all those extra that were importance before because you had to raise a family. Conduct a thorough assessment of your assets and your expenses. You might find that you are able to reduce costs drastically and start cashing in on some of the extras that you had all these years and put all those savings in a saving accounts as a cover for the day where you will be able to stop working.

Fill your bank account now.

The empty nest syndrome is not really bad. You will find some real benefits to returning to a simple lifestyle with your partner and experience a new life as a whole. You have mastered the many problems of raising a family in this difficult period and  you should be proud of your success. However, you and your spouse could face a significant challenge, that is to create a salary for retirement.

Mom could return to work and each spouse can take on as much work as can be found. Typically in the mid and late 1950s, the major income earner may succeed leaving the job they have occupied for decades. However, instead of living from the funds accumulated for old age, benefit from yet another job that will produce ten to fifteen years of more income. With excellent management of funds, it is likely that you will be able to save at least one revenue and put that money directly into your retirement life fund.

Working with an investment adviser you could find ways to protect this new source of income so that it remains outside the tax program until you are ready to use it. The good news is that the sprint for productivity and enhancing revenue by the end of your working life can lead to a balanced pension budget that you will benefit from and finally enjoy your years of retirement without having pass the time in a rocking chair looking after your grandchildren.

Develop a revenue generator that stays with you

You can find a second career that will prove being an excellent other source of income, even immediately after you retire. Start now to search for a possible “retirement career” a function that you can carry out, even in retirement to generate extra income. Writing or working online is an excellent solution. To set up an organization at home that you could work at  using a computer. the potential is enormous.

Other examples of occupational retirement are part-time jobs as manager or residential care provider, sales jobs using the skills of your main career or work in areas which are to some extent non-binding like greeting customers in a Walt-Mart or working in a bookstore. Work in retirement has the dual advantage of increasing your revenue sources, keep you busy and enjoying life in retirement. Which is exactly what each of us want.

Live Your Passions! Rethink Your Life In Retirement

You can measure success the way you want. Success is not measured by money, because anyone can make money. The goal is to make money by living your passion. When you work in an area that you are very passionate about, you make your own chances to earn money. The important thing is to  rethink your life by telling yourself that you have always done what you wanted and have no regrets.

Be whole

Your passion requires you to be whole. You don’t have to focus only on one thing, but all aspects of your passion. Enjoy the full experience. Take advantage of the delay in your orders. See this waiting as an opportunity for a wonderful holiday rather than s sign that you did not get started in your passion. Do not see signs in bad things that happen to you. Be whole in everything you do. Don’t be a fake, don’t try to impress others by pretending to be what you are not.

Be passionate

When you’re passionate about something, you have nothing more to do for others notice you. Your passion comes from within and if you really love what you do then everything will come naturally. You will be proud of your work, for example, if you make clay pots, you will never send a cracked or imperfect pot to your customers because you will be passionate about quality. Moreover, you are the designer and the object will be your signature. You will be proud of everything you do.

Be a leader

Being a leader is another factor to consider because you want to show others how it is possible to live your dream. You do not follow the steps of anyone. You are enthusiastic about the changes you make in your life. You make significant changes to live your life the way you want. Create your own vision and plan how you achieve the goals you set.

Improve yourself constantly

When you live your passion, you will not produce the best every time. You must find ways to continuously improve the processes that slow you down, are responsible for poor quality or frustrate you. Thus, by improving your approach, you will do better each time and start to see what you are really capable of. Your productivity will improve with time, once you have found the best way to proceed. When you start your passion, everything may seem to be in bulc. You can adjust this, but it takes time and efforts. You will perhaps have fifteen trials before finding the method that gives you the best quality and productivity.

Act

Everything must be in turmoil around you when you live your passion. For a long time it was so easy to procrastinate your personal investment in your passion, you do not want to fall into the same situation. It is essential to get to work, to act, you and those you choose to help.

Taking action is what is most important not to give in to carelessness. You want to do your best to reach your dream. Nothing can stop you or slow you down. Hang a poster to remind you constantly that you are working to fulfill your passion.

You must have collaborators who share the same motivation. Do not work with people who do not make decisions or do not take action. If you have a person who spends his time sitting talking without acting, this person can not participate in the realization of your passion. What kind of person was helpful in the initiation of your business but certainly not in its implementation. Find another place for this person where it will be useful because you will always need support.

Always reward the action. You should always reward those who help you, including yourself. This does not mean that you have to spend money you don’t have. You can simply reward someone by letting him know that you appreciate what they do for you. Recognition of the work done is sometimes enough when people know that you really enjoy what they do.

How to Chase the Virus From Your Computer?

And you’re finally here! it’s happened

Your computer is infected with a VIRUS!

Could you have avoided it?

Yes, provided you had  followed some simple rules.

A beautiful brand new computer unprotected attacked by a simple sly and malicious program , a simple little virus can cause slowdowns or even make your computer unusable. To avoid viruses, you need a good antivirus, Under Windows it’s indispensable, With s MAC it’s less necessary. A good antivirus for sure will protect you from loosing everything on your computer.

On the Internet, you can download free anti-virus (AVG or Avast 5 for example) but remember to turn them on and, above all, make regular updates.

Even better, some anti-virus allow you to schedule automatic updates. Do it whenever possible!

The free solutions are interesting … but often limited in their capabilities and features. If you can invest a few dollars, opt to pay for all in one solutions These solutions will not only do their job as an anti-virus, but in addition, will take on other roles such as anti-spy-ware, anti-backdoor, etc … not including the monitoring of incoming emails, all seamlessly while you work on your computer.

But back to the virus. A virus can arrive in several ways:

by a USB key or a CD for example, that someone has kindly lent you without suspecting that there was an infected file is inside!

by a program downloaded from the Internet that you did not suspect to be malicious (eg “clean your PC with our program totally free”)

by peer-to-peer exchange of films, music, software between individuals (eg Emule – Kazaa)

by receiving a simple e-mail with an attachment which could for example have this name: image.jpg.exe (Take in account the last extension, it is certainly a well-hidden malware)

To avoid this catastrophe, adopt good habits:

When you download new programs, always run them trough your anti-virus before opening them and prefer sites that have set up shop, especially for software from abroad.

When you download music, movies, make sure your antivirus program has a site verification peer-to-peer, often a paid option for most antivirus but if you are customary to this type of download, don’t hesitate to spend a few dollars! Better Prefer legal sites!

For your e-mails, absolutely avoid setting up your email with an overview of the messages! You more easily identify emails such as “RE …” an mail in response when you do not know the sender?

This is typically the subject of questionable messages.

As a rule, never open a message that you do not know the sender, especially if it contains an attachment.

Again the antivirus can scan your mail server and identify potential intruders. And finally, never open an attachment in an email, save it and pass it to the antivirus.

Be careful if your computer has been attacked by a virus, it will have to clean everything thoroughly, even reformatting your hard disk! So think of doing regular external backups of your files!

These simple rules should already allow you to greatly reduce the risk of infection by a virus.
