It is often said, “It’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” When defining your personal and professional success it is critical that you focus on who you know!

Are you surrounding yourself with winners?

Are you surrounding yourself with people who can help you achieve your goals?

Are you developing relationships that align with your purpose and passion?

Are you connecting with people who understand what is necessary to be successful and are able to support your success?

Do the right people know who you are, what your business provides, and the value you can bring to a customer?

Success is defined by your purpose, your action, and your attitude; however your success can and will be limited by the relationships that you create and maintain both personally and professionally.
Here is a great story that reinforces this concept:

Swen Nater an orphan from Holland moved to the United States when he was three years old. He grew up in an American home and as a high school junior; he stood 6′ 11″. One would think Swen Nater was destined for basketball, but he was so gangly and awkward that he didn’t make his high school team until his senior year. Instead of going to college after graduation, like some of his teammates, he went to work at a garage as a mechanic.

However, when a local community college coach convinced the towering mechanic to give basketball another shot several years later, his body had matured. Over the next two years Swen became one of the best junior-college basketball players in the country. He was honored with Community College All American his sophomore year. With two years of eligibility left, several smaller colleges became interested in Swen and each offered him an opportunity to shine.

But his coach decided to take a shot at a higher opportunity. He called John Wooden whose current UCLA team was in the midst of one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports. He said “Coach, next year you have a guy coming in that everybody in America believes will be the greatest player to ever play college basketball: Bill Walton who towered at 7′ tall. The next biggest guy you have on your team is 6′ 9″ inches tall. In practice, Bill Walton is not going to get better because he’s not going to have any competition so give my guy a chance.”

Have you considered jewelry as your investment? As a woman you may like to choose jewelry because it has multi purpose. It can be your accessories, collection or investment. You can also choose the plain gold but the plain gold can not be used as accessories. The jewelry investment is a good choice because the gold has the stable price from time to time. If you ever bought gold in the past and now you want to sell it, the price will increase.

You can also buy accessories as a gift to some one special to you. You can pick certain jewelry to make someone know your feeling as it can express you in an unique way. The cool jewelry gift is not only a cute thing but also valuable so someone will feel excite when receiving it. You can give it to someone to appreciate her. For example your sister, your mother, your colleague or your friends on so on.

I am really sure that most have experienced something similar to this. I found a gorgeous top in a lovely shade of blue with a V neckline delicately decorated with beads. Being in a hurry I did not try it on until I was home. I stood in front of the mirror and it was just plain blah. I took it back to the store and the attendant commented on what a beautiful top it was. I said that I loved it but when I pay that much for a top it has to do something for me and unfortunately this top did nothing for me. Simple, I had not taken the time to see that although I can wear some blues this one was not in my color range. So that brings us back to jewelry . From very young I was led to believe that gold is the only way to go. As I was buying gold earrings my friend suggested that I try silver ones. The effect was dramatic. My whole face took on a brighter more alive look. It was quite exciting.

There are four color groups. Groups 1 and 2 are for the ones who are enhanced by wearing Silver, Platinum or White Gold. These are wonderful metals that will bring out the best in you. Besides the white metals these 2 groups look just wonderful in diamonds and white pearls. For everyday use you probably don’t wear diamonds so go for the clear diamond like cubic zirconiums. Sterling silver makes brilliant jewelry, if you get a bit tired of cleaning it, you can get Sterling silver with 18K white gold filled or plated jewelry which will not need cleaning so often and it looks so good.
Groups 3 and 4 you get to shine and look your best in Gold. Group three in particular can also wear brass and copper shades. All groups can wear a mixture of white and gold metals in the one piece of jewelry. This is a really attractive mix. With the color of other gems, beads and jewelry decorations are guided by the colors in your group of colors. You will get used to looking for the right colors and it becomes much easier with practice, then you will start to notice those around you or even television presenters that have made a bad choice of what to wear today, you just know that they could be looking a whole lot better.

Choose to wear the right metal color for that extra sparkle and advantage. Enjoy the compliments coming your way. Wearing the wrong color metal in your jewelry or other accessories can cause you to look very blah or worse make you look so much older and duller than you could be. We all have a complexion that looks better with some colors than others. Basically we fall into four different color ranges and it is quite amazing the difference that it makes by putting the right metal color with the right color group.

These days it is getting harder and harder to afford the necessities in life let alone all of the other things we desire. Clothing is something that often falls toward the end of people’s needs list this day in age but that doesn’t mean that we still shouldn’t look our best. One way to keep you and your family looking the best possible without having to spend a ton of money all of the time on new clothing is by taking good care of the clothes that you and your family have. Many individuals fail to follow the instructions for care on their clothing labels but doing this will help your clothes to look better for much longer. And that means that you will have to spend money buying clothes much less often. It is much more cost worthy to take that coat to the dry cleaners rather than washing it than it is to have to buy a new coat when your old one wears out quickly due to improper washing. Here are just a few different ways that you can keep your clothes looking their best.

The most important thing, as mentioned earlier, is to make sure you are washing your clothes the way that they are supposed washed. Those care instructions are on your clothing for a reason. It may seem ok to wash something in the washer that calls for dry cleaning and you may not see the damages right away but you can be sure that continuous washing of items that are not supposed to be washed will eventually ruin the article of clothing. And the worst thing about this is that it is usually fairly expensive items that need dry cleaning so they are definitely items that you do not want to damage and have to replace.

Another way to keep clothes in good shape is to make sure that you are properly storing them. If you have a danger of moths getting to your clothing you should be sure to use moth balls or store your clothing in a cedar chest or closet. Clothes that need to be folded such as sweaters should always be folded and never hung and clothes that should be hung should stay in the closet. Jeans can even be made to last longer by hanging them a certain way so it would be a good idea to do a little research and find the best way to store certain articles of clothing.

There is no better time than now to jump on the recycling bandwagon. With global warming becoming a serious threat to our planet, it is important that we all contribute to the sustainability of our earth. Recycling can be a bit confusing at first but after doing some research, it is easy to make such a big difference. According to various sources, statistically the United States recycles just about 28% of its waste today, which is doubled from what it was a decade ago. If we all have this information, we all can make a huge difference. Take a minute to read this article and test your eco-friendly knowledge, maybe you will learn something you did not know!

What is recycling?

Recycling is taking old materials and processing them to make new products. Doing this reduces the waste of potentially useful products and reduces water and air pollution. Before recyclable materials are recycled, they need to be separated into the type of material they are made of and whether or not they can be recycled.

What can be recycled?

The basic materials that can be recycled include paper products, plastics, metals and glass. These products can be broken down and processed to make new products. Therefore, paper can be recycled to produce recycled paper or plastic containers can be processed to become Frisbees!

How do I know if it can be recycled?

There is an international symbol that lets people know if the materials/products they have can be recycled. Most people are familiar with the triangle of arrows symbol. This symbol denotes that the product can be recycled. This makes it easier for consumers to recycle their old products. Some products do provide additional information. Virtually everything made of plastic should be marked with a recycling code. Not all types can actually be recycled. Types 1 and 2 are widely accepted in container form, and type 4 is sometimes accepted in bag form. Glass, steel (or “tin”) and aluminum are easy to recognize and recycle. Most types of paper can be recycled from office paper to phonebooks, and corrugated cardboard to waxed cartons.

Planet Earth is facing a multitude of problems. They are: water shortage, climate change, melting ice- caps and global warming to name a few. The root of all her problems can be traced to the injury caused to her by the enormous population of the human species. The problem has arisen because Man is successfully defeating her efforts to reduce the population. Till the nineteenth century, she had a huge mortality of infants and children with hardly a few of them surviving to become adults. Adults faced epidemic diseases and famines which killed millions of them. She occasionally caused natural calamities like floods to wipe out hundreds of villages. She created illnesses that caused most of the people to die at an early age. This effectively limited the population on the planet. The consumption of her resources by the small population did not challenge her in any way.

US Census estimates that the population of the World in 1 AD was about 170 million and after 1804 years it had grown to about 1 billion. The second billion was added in about 123 years and the population had grown to 2 billion in 1927. The next billion was added in only 32 years and the population had grown to 3 billion in 1959. Thereafter its growth accelerated and the planet added a billion people in each of the 3 periods of 15, 13 and 12 years. Thus by 1999 the population had grown to 6 billion people. We are now 6.8 billion in 2009, projected to grow to 9.4 billion by 2050. As against average yearly addition of less than half a million prior to 1804 AD, the World population is now growing at an alarming rate of 80 million per year!

As you can see from the above figures, planet Earth was doing a pretty good job at controlling the population growth until Man began to defeat her in her efforts in the twentieth century. He built dams to control floods, developed medical science and produced medicines to reduce infant and child mortality and to cure diseases. This resulted in more infants becoming adults and in more adults living a long life. Life expectancy thereby increased rapidly and has gone over 75 years in most of the countries of the World. Japan leads with a life expectancy of 82 years! That means the children born 82 years ago are still alive as grandparents!

World population, with its present growth rate, will more than double to reach 14 billion people by 2100. At that level of population, the resources of the planet, particularly rain water and arable land area would have to be worked twice as efficiently. If we do not succeed, the quality of life would be compromised.
