1) Know your stuff - don't be put on the spot
2) Be decisive - make up your mind and stick to your decision
3) Trust yourself - have faith in the answer you give
4) Switch off the inner critic - focus on whatever you're doing
5) Use criticism constructively - be positive and focus on finding the solution not the problem
6) Stay in control - focus on what you know and find out whatever you don't know later.
7) Don't be afraid to ask - this will buy you ome time to prepare yourself
8) Stop & think - Nothing strengthen authority so much as silence
9) Be honest - don't blag but impress them with how quickly you can find out the answers later.

WHICH WAY IS YOUR SERVICE FLOWING?

We all serve others.
We give internal service to colleagues and external service to
customers. With service partners we work together. You might
serve a manager. Servant leaders serve their teams.

Tennis begins with service. Cars are regularly serviced. And from
time to time, computers need servicing, too.

There is community service religious service, food service,
civil service and military service. Prisoners are serving time.
Others are serving humanity.

When you Serve you give and energy flows from you to others. That
creates a vacuum, so life flows energy back to you.

When you Con-serve, you put something aside so it can serve again
in the future. When you Pre-serve, you protect something today so
it can serve again tomorrow.

But when you think too hard about what you De-serve, your energy
shifts from giving, to getting. The flow starts going backwards
and you may debase, degrade, and decline.

Key Learning Point:

The way to get more of whatever you want is to focus on giving
more to others. If you want a lot, give a lot. If you want more,
give more.

Action Steps:

Want more money? Give more value. Want more love? Give more
affection. Want more respect? Give more credit. Want more help?
Give more appreciation. Want more understanding? Give more time.

Want a more extraordinary life? Give more of yourself to others. by Ron Kaufman

Yoga for everything?

Fitness Tutor Exercise and Nutrition Tip
presented by fitness-tutor.com

Yoga has been around since 2250 B.C. and its ability to help one develop a good state of mind and great flexibility is undeniable. However, some people started to promote Yoga as the wonder do-all fitness program, claiming that it also helps to improve cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, muscular strength, power etc.

The truth is, does Yoga really do all these or is it just some hype just to recruit new enthusiasts and boost their bottom line?American Council On Exercise (ACE) recently conducted a study on this and found this: regular practice of Hatha yoga did improve the flexibility (obviously), muscular strength and endurance, and balance of the tested subjects. However, no significant improvements in the aerobic fitness were found. The researchers also concluded that muscular strength could be improved much faster by lifting weights.So it all boils down to your individual goals.

If you are seeking for a program that specifically works your flexibility and balance, Yoga might be the answer. But if you want great improvements to your aerobic fitness and lose weight, you'll do much better running rounds around the Yoga studio. Want strength? Try doing some pushups while some doing the Plank pose. The message we want to give is this: Yoga can be a great addition to your normal fitness routine, but standing alone, it is not an effective way for achieving all round fitness

5 golden rules for evaluating the prospects of long-term relationships success.

QUESTION #1 : Do we share a common life purpose?

You need a common life purpose. Two things can happen in
a marriage. You can grow together, or you can grow apart. Fifty percent of the people out there are growing apart. To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life bottom line - and marry someone who wants
the same thing.


QUESTION #2 : Do I feel safe expressing my feelings and thoughts with this
person?

Feeling safe means you can communicate openly with this person. The basis of having good communication is trust.Be honest with yourself on this one. Make sure you feel motionally safe with the person you plan to marry.


QUESTION #3 : Is he/she a mensch?

A mensch is someone who is a refined and sensitive person. People who are dedicated to personal growth and people who are dedicated to seeking comfort. Someone whose goal in life is to be comfortable will put personal comfort ahead of doing the right thing. You need to know that before walking down the aisle.


QUESTION #4 : How does he/she treat other people?

The one most important thing that makes any relationship work is the ability to give. Someone who gossips cannot be someone who loves others. You can be sure that someone who treats others poorly will eventually treat you poorly as well.



QUESTION #5 : Is there anything I'm hoping to change about this person after we're married?

Too many people make the mistake of marrying someone with the intention of trying to "improve" them after they're married. If you cannot fully accept this person the way they are now, then you are not ready to marry them.


In conclusion, dating doesn't have to be difficult and treacherous. The key is to try leading a little more with your head and less with your heart!.

Ways to Make Your Exercise Routine More Effective

Here are some simple ways to make continuous gains to your current
routine:

1) Instead of adding exercises, change the exercises. This alone will
spark new gains.
2) Cut short the rest time between sets. This will make the routine
harder to do and this will produce new result.
3) Change the order of exercises. By doing so, the old exercises seem
new again.
4) Do the same exercises but work at a slightly different angle. Hold
the weight with a slightly wider grip, stand a little narrow will all bring
an impact to the routine positively.
5) Slow down the tempo of the exercise. Instead of the usual 1-2 sec up
and down tempo, try to train 4 sec up, 4 secs down. Can you say 'burn'?
6) Add a two seconds contraction to the exercise at the completion of
every reps.
7) For cardio training, you can try to work at different inclinations
(for treadmil or outdoor running), speed, resistance level (on cross-trainer
or stepper) etc.

Try to do one or two of the above and you will be seeing new gains
again.

Uniquely Singaporean Ways of Living

Enjoy your reading ............................ha, ha !!

In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB),and most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP).Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB). If that's notenough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) and get more fromyou.

So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment(MOE) ?With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS), you are forced to Pay theSum Ahead (PSA), which will leave some people Permanently Owing SomeBanks (POSB). And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA)system.

When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital(MOH), you might be able to use yourCash Prior to Funeral (CPF) fund. If you are out of luck, you may meetdoctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you. And you will be Sure toGive up Hope (SGH).

To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices (ERP) on theroads. If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT),OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS).

Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax.Not even the good old place we used to go because it has become SoExpensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA) !!

Why Women are to be blame for everything? By Andrew Mueller

It started with Eve and it went downhill from there. It is because women put up with them (those thick, boorish, unfaithful, charm-less, dimwitted, discourteous, unhygienic, ignorant, oafish, thuggish, howling-at the-moon crazy, bullying, obnoxious twerp, stupid, venal, selfish and abusive men). These women are nobly stoic rather that completely retarded and forgiving when they stood by their men despite cruelty, violence and foolishness. These bizarre acquiescence of women is the factor uniting all male transgression against decency and courtesy from the history-altering to the workaday. Examples are Mrs. Stalin and Mrs. Slobodan Milosevic who were positively encouraging their husbands dementias.

A Woman Needs a Man … by Sumiko Tan

I like to quote some of her comments on her Sept 9,2007 article… The life of a woman will be complemented and enhanced by the right male companion. It is a case of finding the right partner. It involves risk and taking a leap of faith in your ability to read people. The caveat is that he isn’t a PRINCE YOU KISSED WHO TURNS OUT TO BE A FROG, but someone who is kind, decent and sweet and who watches out for you.

It is really like having a 24-HOUR BEST FRIEND. Wake up together, go to work together, come home to someone to complain to, have hobbies together, go to sleep together. Ultimately marriage is not about sex, financial security or even kids. It’s about COMPANIONSHIP and having a 24-hour friend who makes life easier most of the time.

Single hood has it many advantages but to be able to share a life with someone who loves you and whom you love, well that’s a happy position to be in.”

For Ladies : )

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding
anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that
because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish.

The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.

Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.
The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...

Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!!

Gotta love that fairy!
-----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience
for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to
death.
AMEN
