11 Habits That Exude Success

Source:  http://www.freedigitalphotos.net Consider this: You can polish your mind with knowledge until it is a blinding shine, but if you don't externalize it, no one will recognize it. Success is all about being noticed. You get noticed by showing the goods. By adopting the following habits, you'll televise your qualities to the world (discreetly, of course). Just watch how people react to you. 1- Brag discreetly I cannot emphasize the word discreetly enough. If you trumpet all your achievements and pricey possessions, you will lose everyone's respect. You want people to know that you're making it without coming off as a boaster; slip things into conversation casually. State your accomplishments as matter-of-factly as possible without the detailed trimmings, or slip them into stories. For instance, say: "I went to New Zealand on vacation. I had some extra money from the bonus I got for increasing our sales one year." This presentation allows you to st

The one-minute cleaning rule that will change your life

I HAVE spent the majority of my life being uber-organised so that I could fit more STUFF into my days. But it is only in the last year or so that I have come to my senses and instead chosen to use my free time to  look after myself  better, rather than squeezing more and more commitments into my days. So I want to share with you with my most  favourite tip  in the world for creating more me-time, but before I do, let me tell you that back in the day I was a pile-a-holic: * I had a pile of papers (bills, statements etc) in an in-tray in the study. * I had piles of clothing on top of the dresser in my cupboard. * There was a pile of unused DVDs on top of the DVD player. * There was a pile of books on the counter top. * There was a pile of magazines on the floor in the toilet. * There was a pile of newspaper all neatly stacked in the corner. They were all very neat these piles, but they were everywhere I looked and every single one of them did my head in because I

How To Transfer Files Between Your Android Tablet and Mac

I am an iMac for a few years now.  Last year, I bought an iPad2 and it was working "perfectly" with iTune.  (BTW, Good Reader is actually an excellent pdf reader for iPad.  It can transfer files in between without using iTune.) Anyway, I purchased an Asus Transformer TF300 to test out Android OS.  When I connected it to my iMac, iMac did nothing.  It did not recognised my Android as an external drive.  Why? Don't worry.  Here is the step to get it working: 1. Download the  Android File Transfer Program  and save it to your computer. 2. Double click the .dmg file 3. Drag the Android File Transfer application into the Applications folder. 4. Now, plug in the Android Tablet via USB cable to your Mac. 5. The first time you connect your device via USB you will have to manually open the Android File Transfer application (after that, it will automatically open whenever you plug it in). 6. You will then be greeted by your Android Tablet’s file system and can now

Developmental milestones: self-care (from BabyCenter)

Self-care As your child gets older, she'll learn to do more things for herself — from taking off her clothes to getting her own bowl of cereal in the morning. While watching your baby's growing independence can be bittersweet, learning to take care of herself is an important part of your child's personal and social development. When self-care develops Your child will probably start doing things for herself soon after her first birthday . Advances come fast and furiously at around 18 months . Children still need lots of help and attention for years to come, but most will have the basics of self-care — dressing, brushing their teeth, washing their hands, feeding themselves and going to the toilet on their own — mastered by around their fourth birthday. How self-care develops Although your child won't make significant progress in self-care until her toddler year, you'll see the first stirrings fairly early on. At about eight months, your baby wil
