This thing blew up 14k feet above ground and still blew the windows out of buildings.  Imagine how devastating it would have been if this MFer had hit the ground?

At first I thought this was one of those sketch comedy skits that you see all over YouTube.  But then I saw that this was posted by some kid who had helped his pastor make this video back when he was in high school.  My god, it’s magnificent.

Apparently the new protesting trend in Bahrain is to block a road with tires, then light the tires on fire, making everyone wait.  Citizens who try to put out these fires, usually end up in flames too.  This SUV owner apparently no longer has the patience for protestors.  Career decisions…

Your food is 135, but this time you'll 827th: succeeded.

People say "don't make anyone else do yourself", but there are some that are just not enough weight. It's unfortunate, but it does not accept our own body fit, not always enough motivation to stick with it. Sometimes we will have to drive a car up to the end of the target, such as competitive a race to stop a day reunion pictures or numbers on the scale, or maybe just a pressure of everyone watching us.

We all had our diet have tried and failed, or that we have determined that we never reached the goal. If you are a yo-yo dieter who has battled with weight of you your life in one of the first things that you think that is what people will think or say will roll your eyes at the 827th efforts to reduce weight 135, or will they support? They are you seriously this time that believes in you or they actually hope you fail so they can say "I told you" or to what can go back. "Normal."

There is a very real mood all through the minds of the people, and it can sabotage success of others before you start to drive it, even-or success.

Sometimes we fear of failure is what drives us to success, while I do not believe that we should worrying what people think up all the time. I believe that a dose of health care can provide us press we need to succeed.

Nobody likes to be a failure. We want to be successful but we do value and admired – and, if we want to be the person we can be, for example, We can show all of the shoes that they can succeed. We can defend against the enemies of us and show us what we don't want to talk about working out and dieting, or convince anyone of how bad we need to succeed. Our actions will show our needs, and the results speak for themselves – and every day that we do not want to skip. Move from vocals to sing, we will remember the people who are watching us, and we will not give them pleasure of seeing us fail.

Get a constant reminder that the action always speaks louder.
How bad I want? and then proved each day.

Delivering Presentations: The Rules of Dating Apply Here Too!

Imagine you’re out on a date and your goal is to really impress. You want to be the only person in the room your date can see or hear. Given that goal, what would you say is the best way to start the date:

Start the date by sharing your life history including all your great accomplishments and the things that matter most to you.Start the date by talking to your date about the kinds of things he/she finds valuable.

Now, in the dating world, pretty much everybody gets it right, you talk about “them.” But here’s the shocker: once we move into the world of business presentations; another place where winning quick audience favor is critical, pretty much everybody gets it wrong. Because instead of using what we know works, most folks begin their business presentations by talking about “themselves.” In fact; over 90% of the presentations we’ve studied began with a slide that looks like this…

And unless you’re attending a narcissist’s convention, this is just a terrible slide and horrible start to your presentation. You don’t even have to read every bullet point to feel the automatic turn off. This slide is all about “you”: when you were founded, how many clients you have, how big you are, how many awards you’ve won, etc. If you used a personalized version of this slide in a dating situation, I guarantee you’d be sitting alone at the bar before the first round of drinks arrived.

It doesn’t matter if you’re presenting to one person or a room of a thousand, the only way to grab your audience’s attention is to spend the first 10 minutes addressing issues that matter to them. Neurologically, those first 10 minutes are when your audience forms their opinions about you. It’s when their brains absorb all the incoming data (that would be you) and then decide whether or not to allocate any more neurological energy to listening to that big noise coming at them (again, that’s you). And because you know this little tidbit of knowledge that comes to us from the world of brain science, you can use it to your advantage.

Dating Research that Proves Affect of Opening with Messages About “Them”

Let’s jump back to dating for a minute. Perhaps you’ve heard of a free online dating site called OkCupid that was created by a couple of guys who met while at Harvard. Now, I married my high school sweetheart, so I don’t go there trolling for dates. But back when the founders were still actively blogging, I used to check out OKTrends and I was pretty impressed with the statistical research they shared. Like the study where they looked at the kinds of words men use in their opening messages to women, to learn what does (and doesn’t) generate a reply. As you can imagine, some of the opening messages were incredibly cheesy. For example, some of the words the study revealed that DON’T work (i.e. women did not reply to the man’s message) were: “sexy”, “beautiful” and “hot.”

I’m happy to report that there’s a redeeming flip side to this. Because there were some words and phrases the guys used in their emails to women that generated huge numbers of responses.  For example:  “You mention…”, “noticed that…” and “curious what…” all got fantastic responses (statistically, messages with those phrases get double the normal response rates). So basically, if a guy appears to have read a woman’s profile, and he shows knowledge and interest in the things she’s interested in, he’s got a much greater chance of hearing back from her. A good “guy message” would sound like this: “You mention that you like cooking and I noticed that you travelled to Italy. I’m curious what your favorite region was in terms of cuisine?” That’s a guy I might let my daughter go out with—when she gets to dating age, and luckily, that’s far in the future.

The lesson in all this is: whether you’re dating or making million-dollar presentations, start by talking about the other person and their interests. Let them know that you know what they want to hear about, that you are sensitive to what they want to gain from this interaction and that you care about the same things that they care about.

In my upcoming webinar, The Secrets of Killer Presentations, you’ll learn how to assess the four personality types you’ll find in your audience so you can begin every presentation knowing exactly what your audience wants to hear from you. And if you’re addressing multiple personality types, you’ll learn how to time a presentation to safeguard those different attention spans so you know when to deliver the bottom line, when to be to linear, when to stick to the facts and when to get warm and fuzzy to build an emotional connection.
