Googling for Love
by: Kathryn Lord
Google: (GOO.gul) v. To use an Internet search engine such as Google.com to look for information related to a new or potential girlfriend or boyfriend.
Have you Googled yourself yet? Can anyone resist? If you haven't had the pleasure, here’s how:
Go to Google.com, type your name in quotation marks, and see what comes up.
A lot depends on how common your name is (like John Smith). I tend to get references to nobility (that’s the Lord part), and the genealogy citations are many. But sure enough, there’s my house in Maine (I rent it during the summer from an Internet ad) and stained glass courses that my husband Drew and I have taught. When I (read full article) |

Does Internet Dating Work?
by: Kathryn Lord
What’s the Number One Question that Everyone Asks About CyberDating?
Everyone -- and that included YOU! -- wants to know: "Does Internet Dating Work?"
Well, I KNOW it works, and in the best possible way, because I met my husband Drew on Match.com in May 1998. And I know others who have met their True Love that way, too. (I'm collecting stories of Internet True Romance, if you know of a couple that met that way -- email me at Kathryn@Find-A-Sweetheart.com and tell me all about it!)
But what about for you? Will it work for YOU???

The Story of a King And Three Maidens - Six Keys to a Successful Relationship
by: Robin Mastro
A King was trying to choose between three maidens to be his wife and queen. It was very difficult to judge since these women were all very intelligent and beautiful. He gave each maiden a bag of seeds and told them he was going on a pilgrimage for one year. When he returned, each of them were to give the seeds back to him. Whoever protected the seeds the best would become his wife.
The first maiden locked them in a safe to protect them. The second maiden sold the seeds at the market, thinking she would purchase new seeds when the king returned. The third maiden threw the seeds in the garden (read full article) |

NORPS
by: Tony Papajohn
I thought this was unbelievable, but it’s true.
On average, security guards arrest 2 people each week at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport for carrying firearms through security.
These are not terrorists.
They are “NORPS.”
That’s “Normal Ordinary Regular People Screwing Up.”
The acronym was coined by Clayton County Solicitor Keith Martin. He is the official who prosecutes the cases.
Usually, these are business travelers who often drive and carry a weapon for protection. They grab their already-packed bags, head for an infrequent flight, and forget to leave the weapon at home.
The next most popular excuse is that a NORPS stored the (read full article) |

The Great Underutilized Computer
by: Tony Papajohn
I am not a geek.
So I was not surprised to hear a tech expert speak about how we underutilize our computers.
I plead guilty. Not only do I underutilize it, but I regularly end up places that leave me wondering how I got there.
I’m a poet, a philosopher, but not a geek.
The expert discussed various email programs and all the things they can do that leave many of us clueless.
I guess once you learn how to do all that stuff, you use it. However, the prospect of learning is still daunting.
However, I did gain a renewed appreciation for the greatest underutilized computer of them all, the mind.
Like the real computer, a rela (read full article) |

Stepping Stone Jobs
by: Tony Papajohn
What we name something matters.
It sets a tone that alters our attitude.
Give something a new name and the difference may seem insignificant or even trivial.
However, if it changes our attitude, it can amount to a very big change.
Recently, I heard the term “survival job.”
I understood this to mean a job that is often part-time and unrelated to one’s primary career focus. One takes such a job because one’s previous position has been eliminated, out-sourced, down-sized, off-shored, or otherwise zapped.
I heard this term a few times and thought, “Why does the phrase ‘hunker-down’ come to mind?”
The term suggests an image (read full article) |

A Simple Idea from a Billionaire
by: Tony Papajohn
It’s simple and powerful.
The philosophy of successful people is often easy to understand.
The more I look at how successful people got that way, the more I realize how straightforward they think.
For example, consider these comments from Mark Cuban, billionaire, mercurial owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and star of the reality TV series “The Benefactor.”
When asked the key to recognizing opportunity, he sites doing one’s homework as the most important factor.
“The hard part is doing the homework to know if the idea could work in an industry,” he says. “Then doing the preparation to be able to execute on the idea (read full article) |

Maternal Instincts
by: Wayne and Tamara
Direct Answers - Column for the week of October 14, 2002
I am a woman in her mid-60s whose husband passed away, and I do not want to enter into a relationship with another man. I have no family in town other than my daughter.
I always counted on the fact she would be around for me in my older years. However, I recently discovered she may be moving eight hours away to live with her boyfriend. How can my daughter behave so unlovingly and selfishly?
I always helped her when she was in trouble. How can she treat me this badly? I have threatened to disown her if she moves away. What can I do to change her mind?

Bullseye Interviewing
by: Tamara Jong
An interview is much like a blind date. You have sweaty palms, heart palpitations, shaky nerves and a preconceived notion of what could happen. The perfect scenario unfolds in your mind, where you are calm, cool and collected, dressed smartly, totally in control, enthusiastically meeting the other person’s gaze and brimming with confidence. However, that idea has begun to unravel, because as of right now, you are LATE, because you got lost, forgot your resume, wore a shirt that is making you sweat and have pulled a muscle breaking in new shoes. As you are being led to the boardroom, you’re informed that your possible Superiors will be sittin (read full article) |
