When you think about contests or other various events when human skill or genius is being acknowledge, there are always various types of award plaques that are being handed out to either the contest winners or just to the persons who are being honored at a certain event.

In spite of the awarding ceremony being a small part of the whole program, the award plaques are clearly an important part of the whole event. Without it the contest or the event would not really have a highlight and really, there is not fun when there are no awards that are being handed out.

You can be sure that the organizers of the event or contest have really taken their time in coming up with the kind of award plaques that really befits the winners of the person who is being honored.

Award plaques come in all sorts of type since they will be used on different occasions, like the award plaque that will be used at a quiz bee will definitely be different from the award plaque that will be given to someone who just won a writing contest or the award plaque that will be given to the person who has created a great scientific discovery or to someone who has managed to change the world for the better.

So you see, there is really much effort to be done when it comes to picking out the perfect award plaque that you will use for whatever event or contest you are holding.

There are actually various award plaque stores all over the United States all offering various types and designs of award plaques. Some of these award plaque stores also offer other specialty services when it comes to producing an award plaque that will fit your taste.

A common type of special award plaque service is to have your award plaque custom made. You can actually turn the award plaque into something that really represents either your organization or institution to give that extra kick for your award plaque. Of course, you have to be prepared to give a little extra money for having such a unique plaque made. Having an award plaque that is distinctly your company’s, institution’s or organization’s own is certainly worth that little extra money.

In case your area does not have a lot of award plaque stores and the ones that are being sold off in specialty stores are not your type or are just too boring for words, you can then log on to the internet wherein there are so many award plaque makers who offers all sorts of designs and finishes for the award plaques that they offer.

The internet, aside from being home to various award plaque merchants, is also a highly convenient way of purchasing an award plaque from a generally faraway place like if you live in New York and the award plaque maker is based in Germany (it will cost you the shipping though) or if again, you live in New York and the award plaque specialty store is situated in Los Angeles (it will be pretty impractical for you to fly all the way to California).

Just be prepared to pay extra for the shipping and handling as well as allow some time before the award plaques will actually reach your place. So be sure that when you are opting to take this kind of award plaque shopping, you should give an ample time allowance for its delivery or else, your award plaque might not have even arrived by the time of the awarding ceremony.

There are various types of award plaques that you can choose from like the really generic slide in award plaques where you can just literally slide in a printed matter in your award plaque frame where all the details concerning the event and the winner’s name are all there. Next there are the traditional matted plaques which are a popular choice for corporate office settings and are usually given out on special yearly corporate events.

Long, silky, healthy hair can radiate beauty, fitness and youth. A change of hairstyle is often enough to make you look more sophisticated, younger or simply different.

Hair extensions

Hair extensions are becoming an increasingly popular way of instantly getting that long beautiful hair some of us can only dream of! Growing your hair long takes 5-6 years at an average of 1 cm per month! Hair extensions can give you around 21 inches of thick hair in just a few hours!

There are two main types of hair extensions. Hair extensions can be made out of synthetic fibers and are referred to as synthetic hair extensions or out of human hair and referred to as human hair extensions. Human hair extensions tend to be the preferred kind of hair extensions because they look and feel a lot more natural then the synthetic kind. Also, heat cannot be applied to most synthetic fibers causing some inconvenience if a person needs to use some hair appliances. The downside of human hair extensions is that are usually much more expensive then the synthetic ones! Notwithstanding, there is no fixed price for human hair extensions because this differs according to the quality, style and length of extensions required. Hair extensions that are untreated and uncolored usually cost more because they are more durable!

Hair Weaves

A change of hairstyle is often enough to make you look more sophisticated, younger or simply different. Hair weaves are a good idea for those who fancy some braids, dreadlocks or simply a fuller head of hair and a different look!
Hair weaves are another form of hair extensions and can also be made out of synthetic or natural hair. There are three types of hair weaves:

(1)Bonded Hair Weave - This is the least durable kind of hair weave and only lasts 1 month until it would need to be replaced. This kind of hair weave gets glued to the scalp

(2)Braided Hair Weave - This is a 2 step procedure. The natural hair is braided along the center of the scalp (under the hair) and then the hair weave gets sown into the braids. This type of hair weave normally lasts around 2 months.

(3)Fusion Hair Weave - This is the most lasting kind of hair weave, since it needs be changed every 3 months. This procedure involves waxing the hair weave to the natural hair.

Both hair extensions and hair weaves require considerable maintenance. The hair need to be treated with gentle respect and cleaned and moisturized daily with a good conditioner. Remember, that while natural hair gets the necessary oils and moisture from your scalp, hair extensions and hair weaves don’t! Also, depending on the style and procedure for your hair extensions/hair weaves, you might also have to visit the hairdresser every 6 weeks to fix your hair extensions due to your natural hair re growth.

Whichever kind of hair extension you choose, always consult your hair specialist for advice, and pick the safest procedure. Finally, enjoy your beautiful hair!

Natalie Aranda writes about health, beauty and trends for 2006 hairstyles. Hair extensions are a easy way to create beautiful long hairstyles.

I am an expert navigator with a map & compass but neither is as effective or as easy as the eTrex.

I highly recommend the Gramin eTrex as a basic navigational aide. It’s also a great starter for learning about GPS systems. It does everything it’s meant to and does it very well.

Garmin’s claims of one handed usage are for real, it is easy to navigate the interface with the solid buttons on the unit.”

The Garmin eTrex GPS has one of the longest battery lives on the market, another major influence to purchase, and because it is only powered by two AA batteries, the maintenance costs are minimal. I highly recommend the Garmin eTrex GPS to users of any skill looking for a quick, reliable and inexpensive GPS fix.

Nothing fancy about this unit — other than the remarkably easy to use interface. Its not possible to do better in this price range.

The Garmin eTrex GPS works well (superbly well) for the sea kayaker. It’s waterproof. You can pre-plot a destination if you know the coordinates. You simply utilize the “go to” feature and the eTrex points the way.

Like most modern hand-held units, the eTrex generates its own map of your movements as a visual tracklog or ‘breadcrumb trail’. For retracing your steps (’Trackback’ mode) you will see all the detail you will ever need.

The Ford Motor Company is responsible and the culprit behind the success and prestige that the Mazda Tribute has at present. Despite the fact that 2006 would be the last year that this vehicle would be manufactured, sales of this vehicle has not been greatly affected. The life story of the Mazda Tribute had started back in the year 2001. It had taken the spot and niche that the Mazda Navajo left vacant when its production was entirely halted. However, this time around, when the Mazda Tribute is not manufactured anymore, its spot would be taken by the upcoming Mazda CX 7.

The Mazda Tribute has been built and mounted on the FF CD2 platform of the Ford Motor Company. This same platform has been used by the previous front wheel drive Mazda 626 vehicle. It has been designed as a compact crossover sport utility vehicle and this vehicle holds four doors. It is related to the Ford Escape and the Mercury Mariner. It has been said that its competition in the automobile market include the Jeep Liberty, the Toyota RAV4, the Hyundai Tucson, and the Honda CR-V.

During its introduction, the Mazda Tribute was unveiled to have been equipped with either a 2.0 L Mazda engine with four cylinders or the Ford Duratec 3.0 L V6 engine. However, if you do travel to Europe, you would find out that the Mazda Tribute is currently being sold as the Ford Maverick. And this vehicle was equipped with the 2.0 L Ford Zetec engine and had a manual transmission system as part of it. However, another choice for the engine was a 3.0 L Duratec engine with an automatic transmission system.

Mazda claims that the Mazda Tribute is the right vehicle not only for on road driving but also for off road traversing. Whatever the kind of terrain that there could be, the Mazda Tribute could definitely handle them. The engine is guaranteed to be lightweight yet provides enough and good power. Aside from power, the Mazda Tribute actually has been made available with various choices. As per the interior, interested parties could choose between cloth and leather material for the seats and the color choices for these materials are Dark Flint and Medium Pebble. The exterior color choices, on the other hand, comprise of Blazing Copper, Stormfront Gray, Classic White, Dark Titanium, Mystic Black, Pebble Ash, Platinum, Redfire, and Lapis Blue.

Interested parties, Mazda aficionados, and Mazda owners can come across super durable replacement parts on Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts. Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts is one of the largest dealers of Mazda parts and accessories including Mazda Tribute parts. These parts have been crafted from quality materials so as to guarantee durability and to assist in maintaining the performance and delivery of Mazda vehicles. These Mazda parts from Mazda Parts and Mazda Auto Parts are also guaranteed to fit. The online collection of Mazda parts and accessories include in its list a/c condensers, alternators, radiator fans, spoilers, starters, trunk lids, and wheels among many others.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas, or to some, Bah, Hum Bug. The holidays are once again upon us. What once used to be “I can’t wait until Christmas” has now turned into “I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas again.” For many the beginning of the holidays means adding the word “pressure” to the top of their shopping list. Like shopping for an item on your list that you know you need and is out there, but just can’t seem to find. Just the thought of Christmas can leave us feeling more frazzled than bedazzled for the holiday season. Or some may just simply call it plain old stress.

The beginning of the holiday season automatically places multiple demands upon us, not to mention the already long list of daily duties you may have. We are consumed with holiday shopping, family gatherings, parties and the physical, financial, and emotional tensions associated with these events. How do we survive the Holiday rollercoaster? Thankfully, you don’t have to hide out at the North Pole to save your Sanity. With a little TLC and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) you can have a happy and healthy holiday.

Planning

Before committing yourself to hosting the neighborhood bake exchange or attending a potluck party, be sure and ask yourself if this is really something that you want to do, or can make time for. Don’t feel guilty about saying No! Put you, your family, and your responsibilities first. Nothing is worse than saying Yes, when you really mean No. One way to quickly ruin the holidays is by doing too much. Delegate, no one says you have to be Superwoman. Make a list of things for other family members to do. Not only will this take some pressure off you, but it will also include them in the holiday festivities. When you’re out shopping, leave your packages at the wrapping tables; this eliminates one item of your list of things to do and gives you more time to shop. Prioritize, do what needs to be done, take time to enjoy the things that are really important and meaningful to you.

Exercise

Workouts tend to go to the bottom of the list when you’re up to your elbows in wrapping paper. Exercise releases endorphins, the happy hormones which sweep away the stress hormones that develop throughout the day. While it can be a chore to incorporate your aerobics class into your busy holiday schedule, there are other alternates. Try finding the furthest parking space away at the mall; you can make a brisk walk part of your exercise routine. Also try parking on the opposite side of the mall, so you have to walk through the mall to get to you’re favorite store. Wear a pedometer. Shopping for the holidays can be an exercise in itself. Track your miles while you’re shopping for that special gift. You’d be surprised at how many miles you can accumulate.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

Use EFT to calm your nerves. Not only can shopping be stressful during the holidays, but the urge to resist those delicious holiday goodies that seem to stalk us can darken ones mood. Maintaining a diet during the holidays seems to be one of the most stressful things there can be. Always having to fight the temptations can eventually wear you down. Using EFT can help. When the pressure is on, just remember those pressure points, and tap. EFT provides rapid relief and long term benefits for Stress. Whether it is stress or a simple craving, EFT works equally well and often works where nothing else will. Once you have learned the EFT process, you can apply it at the onset of an attack and, in most cases; it will rapidly “bring you down” within minutes. For some people, a few rounds of EFT not only rapidly dissipates a current attack but, in addition, it noticeably reduces … or eliminates … future occurrences.

Time for Me

Make time for yourself, schedule in one hour every day to rejuvenate your mind and body. Think of yourself as a car, when your out of gas, you need to refuel. Take the time you need: soak in the tub, read a good book, get a massage, or even take a nap. The key is to do something that gives you solace. Be sure to get a good night sleep. Sleep is nature’s own stress management technique. When you sleep, you breathe more deeply and slowly, your heart rate and blood pressure go down and you replenish certain brain chemicals that affect mood.

Holidays come once a year and it’s important to be the best you can be, not only for your loved ones, but for yourself. You too can be Winning At Weight Loss. Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy Holiday.

I see so many article writers, both newbies and veterans, get hung up on trying to write in jargon and professional-ese.

While there may be a place for that, if you are writing articles to drive prospects to your web site, this is not the place for jargon-esque writing.

A favorite compliment

One of the best compliments I receive from clients and others is
“You don’t talk (read write) like a therapist.”

Thank you and thank God for that.

How to have a conversation with your reader

The simplest thing to do is to write like you talk. When you are writing, keep in mind your audience.

It’s called knowing and keeping in mind your ideal client. What are the needs of your ideal client? What worries them, what keeps them up at night? What do they say they want?

Keep these questions in mind as you write. For some it helps to picture an ideal client or a room full of them as you write.

The key benefit of writing like you talk

This one is just huge - the key benefit of writing like you talk, of having a conversation with your reader, is that they will quickly grow to know, like and trust you.

When they know, like and trust you, the reader is much more likely to end up a prospect on your web site, because they want more of you.

In Mongolia as in other regions of Central Asia a diverse set of Buddhist traditions have been cultivated by the Buddhist faithful. Among these traditions, perhaps some of the most important customs are those associated with Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and more specifically, a particular symbol known as the “Kalachakra, Wheel of Time”. The “Kalachakra” “Wheel of Time” is a “Mandla”; a Buddhist symbol that has a round, perfectly shaped symmetrical form. It is divided into four separate sections; each of them contributing to a single unitary shape.

Recognized in many regions throughout much of the world today, the “Mandala”, first appeared as a religious representation of Hindu, and afterward Buddhist conceptions of the cosmos. As a complex composite of both philosophical and religious belief, the “Mandala” is a representation of conceptions of the universe that have existed for millenia. Having appeared in Sanskrit the classical script of India and incorporated into the teachings of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni, the lexis of the term provides an opportunity for people to examine the realities of life that transcend ordinary notions of time and space.

These notions, both time and space, as esoteric as they may be, are in fact embedded in the term “Mandala” as it contains two syllables, “manda” meaning essence and “la” meaning container. It is however true that the precise meaning of the term may lie somewhere beyond mere literal translations of the written word. English translations of the term have in fact included such key phrases as “Container of Essence” and perhaps more aptly, “Sphere of Essence”. But it is arguable that neither has captured the deep meaning of the word.

Understanding the Meaning in the Word

When we reflect upon the meaning of the term, both literal and figurative, for many of us, it may certainly sound quite mysterious. And for some people who have had no previous exposure to the word at all, a wide range of images both good and bad could quite possibly be called to mind. But for those willing to expend only a little bit of effort and consider the significance of the word itself, the term could quite possibly, open up a whole new world just waiting to be explored.

In an assessment of the meaning of the word and its relation to self exploration and the expansion of human consciousness, M. Gankhuyag, a lama at Ulaanbaatar’s Gandan monastery says “the Kalachakra, Wheel of Time, a “Mandala”, has long been associated with the legendary land of Shambala. Often described as a mythical place in a region surrounded by majestic snow covered mountains, Shambala is a pure land: a place where sentient beings travel upon a beautiful path. It is a great road to both peace and enlightenment”.

As a means to facilitate this journey, the “Kalachakra”, “Wheel of Time” has been utilized by Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhists to assist people to find their own unique spiritual path. In a set of rituals, some of which were purportedly performed by the Lord Buddha himself, Mongolian Buddhists continue to engage in a number of activities that include chants, dance, and perhaps most interesting meditations upon fire.

In these sacred fire rituals, rarely known to individuals outside of Mongolian and Tibetan circles, more than twenty types of material including flesh, butter, seeds, and wood are offered to venerable deities who exist within the flames of a fire. The purpose of these activities are not only to please the gods, they increase the probability of a desirable rebirth and in some cases even release the individual from the ceaseless cycle of painful human existence. This is of course a fundamental objective of the Buddhist faith and all of its teachings.

And while each of these rituals have been devised to bring people closer to a true state of enlightenment, the fire meditations provide people with a unique opportunity to begin to understand key concepts at the heart of Buddhist thought. And while these ideas include a vast number of concepts perhaps none of them are more important than the Buddhist principles of impermanence and emptiness.

Both of these concepts timeless precepts which in many instances continue to have a very important impact upon the psychology of people in the world’s most populous regions were no doubt, important elements in the consciousness of the Buddha. And they have subsequently become an important part of the Buddhist fath. They are an integral part of the “Dharma”, the body of Buddhist thought, and the “Sangha”, the entire Buddhist community.

Pondering the Word and Image

When we focus upon the meaning of space and time and its relation to the “Mandala”, we find that the concepts of impermanence and emptiness are well represented. These concepts are not only included in the literal meaning of the word. They are also manifest in the physical representation of the image, especially the “Kalachakra”, “Wheel of Time”.

And while the meaning of the word, “Mandala”, may provide individuals seeking spiritual guidance with an opportunity to begin to understand some of the finer points of Buddhist thought, the physical representation of the image provides a tangible concrete form, to provide interested people with an opportunity to begin to absorb a set of abstract ideas that could otherwise be quite difficult to comprehend.

To illustrate this point it can be said that the “Kalachakra” may be divided into three distinct layers of meaning. Each layer is joined to form an integrated image that represents the relationship between all things, particularly the relationship between the universe, the individual, and the mind.

Unraveling an Ancient Multilayered Lexis

As a means to express the relationship between the universe, the individual and the mind, the outer layer of a “Kalachakra” typically represents the whole human environment complete with depictions of the natural elements the earth, wind, water and fire. And it may even include a representation of Mount Meru.

Mount Meru, a symbol in Tibetan mythology, is a place which represents the center of the universe, a dwelling place of gods. It also represents the stillness of the human mind; a symbol of self cultivation for those who have chosen the Buddhist path.

The inner layer of the “Kalachakra”, in contrast, represents the existence of humans within their native surroundings. The integration of these two layers represents a natural reciprocity that exists beween both the organic and inorganic elements in the environment, the larger community and individual people. Individuals choosing to utilize the “Kalachakra”, to more fully understand the Buddhist path, may come to realize the relationship between the natural elements, the perception of self, and the human mind. This is a natural state of progression that involves a profound course on the development of the human mind and ultimately, and more importantly the human soul.

The third layer of meaning by comparison, also known as the “other Kalachakra” represents the teaching of the “Dharma”. This layer represents the natural integration of ther inner and outer layer, which culminates in a realization of the teachings of the Buddha that are so beautifully illustrated within the context of this sacred symbol. It no doubt represents the natural unity of the universe.

In “the other Kalachakra”, some have referred to this integrative process with its natural ebb and flow, as the rhythm of time. This rhythmic flow as represented by the slow moving currents of the wind and rain, in concert with the natural movement of the varied elements of the universe, could quite possibly, even be referred to as a sacred symhony of sound.

Opportunities to Expand Human Consciousness

When we think of the “Kalachakra”, “Wheel of Time”, the great mystery of human life with all of its hidden secrets may upon further consideration become an active element in the consciousness of any cultivated mind. In the teachings of the Dalai Lama, the rituals associated with the “Kalachakra” have become an important part of his efforts to promote the realization of people who are seeking spiritual development across wide regions of the Asian continent and throughout the world as a whole.

In India, Tibet and Mongolia, for example, His Holiness has performed a number of “Kalachakra” ceremonies as a rite of initiation to grant permission to Buddhist practitioners to begin to practice the “Kalachakra Tantra”. These rituals are performed to provide blessings and good fortune to all of the people who inhabit the environment in which the sacred ceremony is performed. The practice of the “Tantra”, a word that may mean Hindu or Buddhist scripture”, or in its more literal form, “stream of continuity” is a process whereby members of the “Sangha” attempt to free people from human suffering as part of their ongoing quest for spiritual enlightenment.

First performed by the Dalai Lama in the fifth decade of the twentieth century shortly after the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the “Kalachakra” ritual has purportedly been cloaked in a number of misconceptions that have yet to be fully described. As a means to dispel any misunderstandings about the nature and significance of the symbol or any rituals associated with its existence, His Holiness has performed a number of rituals often utilizing the legendary sand “Mandala”.

In this sacred ritual monks participating in the ceremony construct as etheral “Kalachakra”. It is made from fine grains of sand. And after bearing witness to the natural beauty of the symbol, and upon pondering the profound nature of its design, the “Kalachakra” is subsequently crushed.

The grains of sand from the “Kalachakra” are then shared among members of the entire community in a ritual designed to reinforce the teachings of the Buddha and promote the health and well being of the entire “Sangha”. These rituals are performed to promote feelings of happiness and goodwill, and most importantly to promote enlightenment for those seeking the Buddhist path.

Implications for Human Thought and Development

In an exhortation of the merits of the “Dharma” that are reflected in the Kalachakra ceremonies, the Dalai Lama has encouraged members of the “Sangha” to embrace the opportunities that surround them as life as we know it will sure come to an end.

According to His Holiness there are three fundamental principles that can help people to exercise their opportunities as they exist here on earth. These include the realization of the opportunities our human existence affords us, an appreciation of the rarity of these opportunities, and a realization of the great significance of these opportunities.

Once we have become inspired to exercise such options we can then attempt to attain the three primary objectives of the “Dharma”. They include the attainment of a higher rebirth, the attainment of liberation from cyclic existence, and the
attainment of full enlightenment.

From a Buddhist perspective it is possible to say that enlightenment often becomes possible possible only with a fundamental transformation of the human mind. If we look to examples of enlightened people we find that the cultivation of such a condition is often contingent upon the realization that human existnce is dependent upon a number of conditions and entitities both organic and inorganic. Therefore as it is virtually impossible for an individual to exist as a discrete entity, the notion of an independent self is not a reality but merely an illusion.

As we begin to acknowledge the implications of this reality enlightened individuals often begin to see the natural unity of the universe. Religious piety is likely to increase. And feelings of compassion, peace and tolerance are likely to flow.

Developing a New Mongolian Psychology

When we consider the collective consciousness of the Mongolian people however we must begin to come to terms with the violent assault upon Buddhist beliefs that occured during much of the twentieth century.

Begining shortly after the People’s Revolution, Soviet political repression had a major affect upon the thought processes of the Mongolian people and continued for many decades. Yet the fate of Mongolian monks and members of the “Sangha” was by comparison even much worse.

Many monks perished and members of the Mongolian lamasery were left to cower in the corner. Nothing could have been more depressing.

In more than a decade however, prospects for the Mongolian “Sangha” have appeared much brighter. The Gandan Monastery has been resurrected. And large numbers of people are free to worship in a climate that is almost completely open. The benefits of this newfound freedom are quite obvious.

If we consider the contemporary consciousness of the Mongolian people we find that more and more people are returning to their religious roots. Children are becoming more familiar with the “Dharma”. And while their still may be a long way to go, a more natural form of selflessness consistent with the teachings of the Buddha has come increasingly into play.

A Modern Day Consciousness Based upon Buddhist Thought

When we consider the developments in Buddhist thought during the last decade we can experience a new form of contentment that is strong and deep. As children become more familiar with the “Dharma” our heritage and culture begins to bloom.

Buddhist values like Peace, Compassion and Tolerance increasingly take root. The benefits of such a state of mind are completely clear.

And as we consider the prospects for the spread of our faith we should feel heartened. A new era is upon us. We should exercise the opportunities that now exist.

We feel fortunate. It is now once again a very good time to be a Buddhist in Mongolia. For this we are happy and grateful.

We will continue to ponder the natural mysteries that are a part of our faith. And we will continue to spread the teachings of the Buddha so Peace and Enlightenment will continue to spread throughout the land. It is with this sentiment that we will continue to light the lamp that shines so brightly upon the Buddhist path.

When it can’t be done - do it. If you don’t do it, it doesn’t exist.

A new idea can be either unfamiliar, or silly, or both. It can be judged by description, it needs to be done to exist. It’s unlikely that anyone will invest or sanction the cost of something they don’t understand, therefore you have no choice but to do it yourself. You have to find a way to get it done

It’s exciting. It’s difficult and it’s fun. If it was easy anyone could do it. The film Citizen Kane is a very good example. It was stolen not sanctioned Orson Wells couldn’t find any financial backers, but he raised a small amount for casting. He begged, borrowed and milked people into building sets and shooting full -blown screen test which eventually formed a third of the film. Now it existed.

Backers could see what they were getting and he got the money. Without him doing it when it ‘couldn’t be done’ it would be another in the endless list of ideas that never happened. Myles Munroe says the wealthiest underground deposits are not the oil fields of Arabia or Alberta, not the Natural Gas deposits of the North Sea, it’s not even the diamond mines of South Africa - rather its cemeteries across the world. For in those graveyards are books that were never written, art never painted, songs never written, companies never started. In those tombs lies the greatest wealth potential - ideas.

You have them every day - what will you do with yours? What stops you from pursuing yours? Fear? Perhaps you are searching for an idea - well think outside the box. If you can’t think of anything that hasn’t been thought of already, then you need to start playing by the rules.

The person who doesn’t make mistakes is unlikely to make anything. Benjamin Franklin said “I haven’t failed. I’ve had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work. Thomas Edison said “Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every one of them told me something that I was able to incorporate into the next attempt. Theatre director Joan Littlewood said “If we don’t get lost, we’ll never find a new route.”

All of them understood that failures and false starts are a precondition of success. It takes a positive attitude to make mistakes well. Samuel Beckett said “Fail, Fail again, Fail better!”

It’s wrong to be right.
Being right is based upon knowledge and experience and is often provable. Knowledge comes from the past and its safe. It is also out of date and the opposite of originality.

Experience is found in solutions to old situations and problems. The old situations are probably different from the present ones, so that old solutions will have to be bent to fit a new problems) and possibly fit badly). Also, the likelihood is that if you’ve got the experience, you’ll use it. This is lazy.

Experience is the opposite of being creative. If you can prove you’re right, you are set in stone. You cannot move with the times or with other people. Being right is also boring and you mind is closed. You are not open to new ideas.

Star being wrong and suddenly anything is possible. You are no longer trying to be perfect. You are in the unknown, with no clue as to what will happen, but there’s more of chance of it being worthwhile than if you try to be right.

Most people worry about suggesting stupid ideas because of what others will think. Yes, it’s a risky business - you can look silly. Risk is a measurement of a person. People who won’t take them are trying to preserve what they have. People who do take them often end up having more.

Let’s dare to try new things, to aim high knowing that if we miss - its ok… we are closer to something new that has never been seen or heard of.

You should take a look at Internet Marketing, Forex Trading and other crazy ideas that everyone will doubt and predict your failure in. But its ok to try and fail… but what happens if you don’t fail? What would your life look like if you were not afraid of the new, of being wrong or failing once again?
