Hard Work Is Bad Management - Especially in Love

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

By Christopher Walker Peter is sitting at his desk, its 10.00pm. His friends are out playing a game of netball, he had to cancel his place, there was just too much work. Mary is on another flight. She arrived home Friday afternoon and spent the weekend getting ready for the next flight. She broken out in blemishes on her face. Michael is single. He wasnt, but the relationship failed some years ago. Now he fears he might be single for life. Hes finding meeting a new lady, a total challenge. Natalie is exhausted. Shes been working on her business trying to get it off the ground for 5 years. Shes still just a highly paid employee, in fact, sometimes shes a lowly paid employee, exhausted and worried. Jane and David are perplexed. They both have amazing careers. Both successful, and the three children are wonderful and happy. But the relationship is on the rocks. Theyve done the therapy thing, but David hated it. Theyve tried all sorts of diversions, adventures, tricks and techniques to get their libido back to where it was, but its gone somewhere. It looks like the end, unless they can find the key. Silvia is 20kg overweight. It started after she had her first baby, those few kg that wouldnt go away. Now in her early 40s it is sticking like chewing gum. Obviously her metabolism is changing, and in spite of trying every diet she can get her hands on, shes still back where she started. What to do? Its getting to her, shes feeling depressed and frustrated. Danes business grew so fast he could hardly spend the money he was earning. It grew and grew. Even when he didnt want it to grow, it grew. He couldnt put a foot wrong. He bought a fancy car, a new watch, and another new watch, he had holidays and treated his girlfriends to gifts and fine lifestyle. He blames an economic downturn for taking the air out of the balloon, but now, Dane is trying to rebuild the old fortune he lost. Hes investing, but something that he once had is missing. People are not rushing to buy from him anymore. What is it? Marlene has a lung problem. She smokes and says she has tried to give it up but cant. The doctor thinks its a cancer and now, Marlene plans to sue the tobacco company for causing her to become addicted to smoking. Jerry has a knee problem. Its getting worse. All his life hes noticed that the heals of his shoes wore out on one side more than the other. It has been a nuisance to him mostly because he loves wearing thongs and sandals. He wears his running shoes until the tops fall apart, rarely does he consider that his running shoes are worn out when the innersole starts showing thought the underside of the shoe. Peter and Cheryl were together for 5 years. They had a beautiful relationship at first. Then, after Cheryl started Yoga classes they drifted apart. Cheryl accused Peter of being unconscious and violent in the way he approached life. She wanted peace and calm. Their children were disappointed when they split but happy to see the end of the conflict. Maureen has a guru. Maureen loves her guru. Maureen travels to see her guru. Maureen is single. Maureen doesnt want to be single. Maureen thinks her guru is wonderful. Her guru thinks Maureen is wonderful. Maureen is happy. But Maureen is single and unhappy about that. Peter is broke. He has no money in the bank and debt on his credit card. Pete spent allot of his money investing in self education and self development. Peter wanted to become a self development guru. So, he spent money on that. But he didnt follow the teaching of his self development teachers. He simply followed some of their teachings. Choosing to follow the teachings he liked and reject the teachings he didnt like. So, Peter ended up the way he started. With one exception, now he has less money. Gerard went to meditation class. He told everyone that his heart had been broken too many times. So he went to a meditation class to find peace. At that meditation class Gerard met a lady. They are in a relationship. The relationship is a dream come true because they dont argue. But Gerard finds himself interested in other women. He is angry at himself. He always thought he was very spiritual but he cant stop being interested in other women. Loraine is in therapy. She gets sad sometimes. Her therapist is working on her childhood and the dysfunction of her childhood. Larraine is still getting sad, but hopes it will change when she blames her father more. What do all these situations have in common? They are stories of hard work that has resulted from bad management. Situations that could have been avoided if people had managed better. Lets see how. Hard work is bad management Lets summarize Hard work is bad management Hard work is doing something you dont enjoy that takes too much time Mis management comes from small perspectives There are three things we all need to manage well Self, Relationship and Work Managing self is health Managing relationship is appreciation Managing work is prioritization, delegation and systematization. Another word for Manage is care. To care is to manage. Sometimes not doing what others wants is the best care. What you appreciate grows because people become as you treat them The best way to grow yourself is to appreciate others. There are two sides to everything. The wise person knows both. The leader knows both and focuses on the positive. Finally, most people deliberately sabotage their management Most people are not in love with who they are with and what they do But most important, most people want to change themselves, rather than be themselves To appreciate someone, you must not want to change them. See over for how.. There are three things we need to manage in our lives: Self Other Work If we mismanage any of these, they become hard work. We define hard work as not enjoyable or too time consuming. If we mismanage our relationship, for example, then we will have to spend allot of time in our relationship trying to fix it. But if we manage our relationship well, then the time we spend in our relationship will be enjoyable, positive and beautiful. If we mismanage our work, then it will consume more and more time. Finally, when there is no more time it can consume, mismanaged work will consume our energy and then our bank account. If we mismanage our self, we will self obsess. Self obsess means we become obsessed with ourselves. Then we become addicted. Addicted to food, sympathy, sleep, drugs computers. Self obsession means we think we are very important. More important than other people. So we dont care about others, we care about ourselves. Then we are mismanaging ourselves, we are only deluding ourselves. Good management means CARE. To care is to manage. If you care for your work, you will care for customers, clients, suppliers, staff. If you mismanage you will not care, you will only want to do the right thing because it makes money. Good management means care drives profit, instead of profit drives care. Good management in relationship means care. And because caring for others is really caring for self. (same topic) those who care for their relationship end up managing themselves well too. A person who cares about others will not feed them badly, not feed them excess of drinks and more. This is care. Sometimes care looks like it doesnt care. It looks cold or hard because it doesnt give a child what it wants. But care means to do the most healthy thing, not fulfill others expectation. Bad management results in breakdown. Nervous breakdown means bad management of the mind Health breakdown means bad management of mind and body Relationship breakdown means bad management of love Business breakdown means bad management of money Sales breakdown means bad management of customers. Tired at night means bad management of work. Hard work is the result of bad management. Something that is managed well does not require hard work. In fact, good management means that work is not work at all. It is a passion. Passion builds energy, work consumes it. Most, if not all bad management comes from a small perspective on things. If our perspective is narrow, we will manage for the present, in the moment. This is very bad management. We must manage for the future. Things become as you treat them. Sometimes we have to give up something today so we can have profit tomorrow. Sometimes we have to tolerate something today that will grow into tomorrow. Bad management comes from they lack of awareness of cumulative decisions. Some people think what happens today is the result of yesterdays thinking. But this is wrong. What happens today is the cumulative result of your whole life of thinking. What happens in your relationships today is the cumulative result of little things that have happened along the way. Little chips eventually carve marble. So in relationship, little quips, eventually carve the relationship. Bad management is negative quips. Good management is positive quips. There are two sides to everything. This is the first law of nature. The wise person knows it. They dont mismanage by having such a small perspective that there is only one side to a coin. Some people think they can find a perfect partner, and this is true, unless that perfect partner is only a good and not a bad person. Little perspectives on business, others, and self are aimed at narrowing the permissible limits. They look for half, and dismiss the other. This is bad management. But good management appreciates. Good management appreciates both the good news and the bad news. Good management is not deluded into thinking it can find a situation where there is no challenge. No, good management sees both sides to anything and everything. What you appreciate grows. Good management is to appreciate things. Make them bigger. You make people bigger by appreciating them. You make businesses bigger by appreciating its assets. You make relationships bigger by appreciating how much you can do together as a couple (rather than as two individuals) and you make yourself bigger by appreciating life, and the gifts you have. You depreciate all of the above by trying to change it. Good management means to get more done in less time. If you are spending more time to get more results, this is bad management. We all rise to our level of incompetence. Spending too much time at work, at home, on self, in order to get more results is the opposite to creativity. It is an old fashioned idea that if you work harder things get better. And when picks and shovels were the only tools, there may have been a grain of truth. Now, creativity means, How do I do more in the same time, or even more in less time. The final word. Most people deliberately mismanage things. Consciously, we mismanage our time because if we had more time we wouldnt know what to do with it or, we would have to spend it doing something we dont like. Many, many, many people spend excessive hours at work because they hate their home life. And many people spend way too much time alone because they hate their relationship or their job. Many people are single because they self obsess with themselves and their own company. But love does not flourish in ones. One bird is not love. It is extinction.

Gather Up the Fragments- Create the Blessings

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

By John Fisher There are many miracles noted in the Bible. Did you realize that Jesus gave us directions on how to perform our own miracles of healing, success, obedience and sharing? We make so much of Bible interpretation and how mysterious and complicated it is. If we accept the fact that the Bible is the God inspired written word, we must also accept the fact that it is we that make understanding it so difficult- not God. We read around things, we look for hidden meanings, we add things that are not there and subtract things that make us uncomfortable or do not fit our conception of God and his instructions. The Bible is not a technical science manual, not designed to be modified or designed so that only a highly educated scholar can interpret what is in it. It was written for us! It was meant as an inspirational, instructional guide to Successful Living, Joy, Peace, Love and comfort. Of course it mentions consequences, both good and bad for the choices we make in life. I am not condoning fanaticism of any kind when I make the statement To understand the Bible you cant just read it and /or study it you must live it! Let me share with you one instance of where we seek too little of what Jesus discloses in his life and teachings. In the Bible Jesus is teaching to a mass of people on a mountain (miracle of feeding the 5000) there are many more than five thousand people there because only the men are noted. Many of us stop looking at what is taught when the people are fed. We say What an amazing thing! We stop seeking and reading and learning to soon. After everyone has eaten besides his disciples, Jesus says Gather up the fragments so nothing shall be lost! He had just given everyone present and everyone that will read these words in the future the key to successful living, both in the physical life and the spiritual. Gather up the fragments is what he said. The miracle that happened that day wasnt in just the feeding of so many at that time, but the method of how we can be our own caretakers for our own lives and for others throughout the ages. Now what do we do with this information? Are we going to dissect it, read things into it that are not there or modify it to fit our own personal comfort zones? Please do with it what was intended. Live it as it is stated. Notice Jesus doesnt specifically tell us what to do with these fragments after we gather them up. He just tells his followers to perform the task. What we do with them is left up to other teachings and our hearts. He doesnt tell us to horde them all, obviously if he tells us to gather them there is a use for them. Let me also share this, when these things became fragments they became burdens because they were leftover things that we did not take the time to deal with. They are blessings. And as with blessings if they are not used and shared they wither and die and instead of being blessings they become burdens. If your life lacks blessings it is because they have become fragments of the whole. So let us gather them up and use them in some way that creates blessings either for us or others.

Very Difficult Cases In Dealing With Direct Money Lenders

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bill_Darken]Bill Darken Direct Money Lenders When you find it difficult to get loans for your house or commercial property direct money lenders pitch in to provide you the loan that others are denying you. You may find getting a loan difficult because of your credit rating, the choice of location may be remote and not of interest to the traditional lenders, the choice of your building material may be creative and not approved by the agencies. In such a case private individuals or companies who specialize in giving loans to individuals with special needs step in. These individuals or companies are known as hard money lenders. When do very difficult cases while dealing with Money Lenders arise? While direct money lenders pitch in with loans when everyone else turns you away, because of the same reason they charge you a high interest rate and a high fee on the borrowing making the chances of foreclosure greater or getting you in a difficult situation otherwise. Here are five very difficult cases of dealing with Direct Money Lenders 1.When you meet a loan predator who will lend you money but design the loan in such a manner that it becomes difficult for you to repay the loan. 2.When the loan value ratio is very high. In cases where the direct money lenders are giving you loans which form a high percentage of the property you are likely to end up in difficulty because in such a case because of the high interest rate and the high principal amount the repayments will become tough to negotiate. 3.When the initial fee is very high. Sometimes the initial fee is as high as eight percent of the loan and this is obviously not a good condition. In such a scenario the interest rate is also pushed up because if you were taking a loan of $100,000 at a 12% interest and end up paying $8000 at the beginning of the loan itself then effectively the principal that you are taking is just $92000 and not $100000 thus pushing your rate of interest higher. 4.Direct money lenders are often difficult to find and one can only get through to them with the help of agents and brokers. However these brokers or agents may not be interested in getting you the best deal but only make maximum profit for themselves and in doing so not only get you a more expensive deal but one that does not suit you as well. 5.When you have not appraised either the property correctly or taken a accurate view of your financial situation. In either case there will be a mismatch in the loan payment versus the money you have resulting in your facing a difficult situation. How to avoid getting into a difficult situation? If you take care of a few basics it will ensure that you do not end up facing any troubles from the direct money lenders. For starters make sure that you do not get into such a loan unless there is a real need. For instance if the traditional organizations are shying away from giving you a house loan because you want to build a cabin in a remote area ask yourself whether you really need that cabin? Avoid as much as possible falling into the very difficult cases of dealing with Direct Money Lenders scenario. Or if you are being denied the loan because of poor credit ratings be wary of the fact that it is only because you are poor at managing your finances. Since the interest rates are very high here and the lenders have a first mortgage over your property you must be doubly careful as any default in repayment would result in the lender proceeding on foreclosure. At the first sign of trouble get in touch with your lender and try to restructure your deal if you feel that it is going to be a difficult case going forward or a repayment default is imminent.

12 Rules to Avoid Online Auction Ripoff’s

Friday, May 9th, 2008

By Ronald Burdge 12 Rules to Avoid Online Auction Ripoff’s Ebay Online Car Sales: Deals or Steals? We’ve seen cases where people paid thousands of dollars for used cars based on nothing but some online photos and a seller’s fancy talk. Don’t be a victim. To avoid getting a lemon, use common sense and follow some basic rules. Rule # 1: If it sounds too good to be true, it is(yes, your mother was right). Rule # 2: Read Rule # 1 again. Rule # 3. It’s real money. Treat every online purchase as though you are paying for it by putting cash money in an ordinary mail envelope and sending it off, because that’s how much you are trusting them. Rule # 4. Don’t do it all online. If you want to buy a used vehicle online, travel to the seller and actually see the vehicle. Test drive it, get it inspected. Meet the person who is going to take your hard earned money from you and satisfy yourself that they are honest and you are getting a fair deal. Rule # 5. Know your seller. Don’t buy from any seller who doesn’t already have a good online reputation with lots of satisfied buyers. Check it out carefully before your turn over your hard-earned money. Rule # 6. Get an inspection. If you can’t travel to the seller to actually see the vehicle before you buy it, consider contacting a local franchised new car dealer for that brand (if you are thinking of buying a Chevy, call the service department at the Chevy dealer nearest the auction seller’s location) and arrange for them to do an independent vehicle inspection before you buy. Rule # 7. Make a contingent bid. If you have to bid before you see the vehicle in person, try to make your bid contingent on a satisfactory vehicle inspection. That way you can back out of it (or renegotiate the price) if you learn that it needs a new engine or some other major repair. Rule # 8. Get an Auction Guarantee. Find out if the online auction gives you its own guarantee before you buy. If they don’t, go elsewhere. If they do, read the terms carefully to make sure it isn’t just fancy words that mean nothing. Rule # 9. Do your homework. Before you buy any vehicle, check out the vehicle’s recalls and known defects. That’ll tell you something about the vehicle’s reliability, even if the seller hasn’t had any problems yet. Rule # 10. Don’t take a risky deal. If the dealer won’t give you any guarantee, or doesn’t have a good auction reputation, don’t send them your money. If you really want to give your money away, you can send it to me. Rule # 11. Don’t sign a blank contract. Make the dealer fill it out and sign it and send it to you. Only after you get it, already signed by the dealer, should you even think about signing it. In most states, a contract is not complete until both sides sign it. If you sign a blank form and send it to the dealer, then when the dealer signs it (in their own home state) the contract is often considered to be legally complete in the state where the last signature is signed to the contract. If it’s your home town, and anything goes wrong, you can probably sue the dealer right in your home town and that’s alot easier than having to drive a thousand miles to file a lawsuit or hire a lawyer in some distant city to do it for you. Of course, you can avoid this problem by always buying only from a seller who is located in your home state, and the closer to you the better. Rule # 12. Look, see, touch, feel, drive. Don’t pay your money until you see the car and, even then, don’t pay your money until you have it inspected carefully. Why? Because once you turn over your money, it’s gone. Ebay car sales can mean a good deal, but be careful. Online auction car sales can be a great opportunity for a crook to steal your money by promising you a cream puff car and leaving you with a piece of junk. And don’t forget that some state Lemon Laws cover used cars and trucks, too. Check with an attorney to find out about your rights. If you’ve been ripped off by a car dealer, don’t put up with it. You have more legal rights than you probably think you do, so protect yourself.

The Folly of Diet Recipes

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

By Virginia Bola, PsyD Have you ever wondered why diet books always seem to have a section of recipes? Apart from the desire to make the book look larger and therefore more worthwhile, why should we be so interested in studying foods and ways to serve it when we are trying to avoid it as much as possible? It is inconceivable that we have reached adulthood without the basic skills to boil, bake, steam, or roast our food. We all know that these are the only low fat methods we should be using on any diet. And whatever we eat, plainer is better to control calories. So what are all these recipes doing in a book that is supposed to be redirecting our attention away from food? Is it a case of mutual fool-yourself-time? The diet authors know that unless their menus have taste, and enticing pictures or detailed ingredient lists, no one will select their plan and they’ll lose money. In their real diet plan outline, they identify what is allowed and what is forbidden. Their recipe section might have been written by someone else. Certainly there are substitutions made to qualify as diet food but desserts, dips, and brunches? We bury our heads in the sand, keep taunting ourselves with those addictive sweet flavors, and crow about the minimal number of calories in a serving of the dish (a thimbleful size - check the small print on how many people this little dish is supposed to serve). Admit it, the only reason we crave recipes is to spice something up, to increase our pleasure and make the whole dieting task less painful. We can eat food plain without any fancy recipes but that would be no fun. So we convince ourselves that all the stuff we are adding to our basics: low fat gravy, liquid margarine instead of butter, lemon and capers in place of tartar sauce, vinegar and oil rather than creamy Ranch, and a variety of sugar substitutes are all allowed in our plan so we might as well enjoy. And then we are surprised and disappointed when the weight loss stops. It must be my glands! Virginia Bola is a licensed psychologist and an admitted diet fanatic. She specializes in therapeutic reframing and the effects of attitudes and motivation on individual goals. The author of The Wolf at the Door: An Unemployment Survival Manual, and a free ezine, The Worker’s Edge, she recently published a psychologically-based weight control e-workbook, “Diet with an Attitude” which develops mental skills towards the goal of permanent weight control. She can be reached at http://www.DietWithAnAttitude.com.
