Happiness and success?


1. Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery. Or stay unmarried if you wish.
2. Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.
3. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
4. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
5. Be forgiving of yourself and others.
6. Be generous.
7. Have a grateful heart.
8. Persistence, persistence, persistence.
9. Discipline yourself to save money on even the most modest salary.
10. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
11. Commit yourself to constant improvement.
12. Commit yourself to quality.
13. Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.
14. Be loyal.
15. Be honest.
16. Be a self-starter.
17. Be decisive even if it means you'll sometimes be wrong.
18. Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life.
19. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
20. Take good care of those you love.
21. Don't do anything that wouldn't make your Mom proud.

Thoughts of change:

- Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
- Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
- Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
- Write poetry.

- Love deeply.
- Walk barefoot.
- Dance with wild abandon.
- Cry at the movies.
- Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.

Go for the win.

Top 9 Comments made by commentators at the 2004 Olympics

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators  during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw
her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak
from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother
and father."

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths
in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we
can expect the same thing again."

6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't
like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the
IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've
got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is
that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses
them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Here are more excellent accidental jokes from sports commentators:

❣ Time zones on hovercard / profile / posts ❣

Dear +Google, I have a wish.

I would really like if you integrated everyone's time zone into the profile and showed it on our hovercards and posts. It would make life very much easier for engaging with people from around the world.

Planning meetings or business Hangouts would be more efficient.

Also for us non North America dwellers it's not so clear, what time is 2 PM EST etc.
GMT is used all over, wouldn't it be easier to use that instead?

My time zone is GMT +2 or Helsinki, Finland time.

My computer has Spartans...

Customer: “Hi, my son says that I have Spartans on my laptop and I should bring it to you guys.”

Tech Support: “…Ma’am? Spartans?”

Customer: “Yes, I called my son at school and told him that screens keep popping up all the time, and he said that I have Spartans.”

Me: “Oh! You mean Trojans! That’s a possibility; let me run this analyzer on your laptop real quick and we’ll see what’s going on.”

Customer: “Young man, my son is in college and he says it has Spartans. You just stand here in a little uniform and make minimum wage. I think my son knows what he is talking about.”

Tech Support: “You’re right ma’am. I was hoping to run a diagnostic and find out that it wasn’t Spartans, but just by looking at the login screen, I can tell that you probably have about 300 of the little guys running around.”

Customer: “300?! Is that bad?”

Tech Support: “It’s horrible. They cram themselves into a bottleneck and kill wave after wave of data, until there is a wall of dead programs blocking any more traffic through your computer.”

Customer: “Oh, that just figures. I’m going to go buy a new computer.”

Tech Support: “Ok, ma’am, I think that would be best.”

What to share in Google+?

What I’ve enjoyed most in Google+ is the lack of status updates like ‘I had an omelet for brekkies’ or ‘I became Mayor of Thingummybob in Be-Square’.
The standard of posts is very high, ranging from politics to religion, humor to science and all sorts of news.
But the best bulletins to me are various opinions that the Plussers write on almost any theme possible.

Don’t try to please anyone on Google+ but be yourself:

Write about the things that interest you, share links and videos that you find amusing or intriguing. Post stuff with good content, as those posts people like to read. Google+ is what you make of it.

The annoying side to sharing is someone posting or sharing too often. I don't mean posting even 20 posts per day when they are well spaced: Firing 5-10 posts one after another is not the best way to attract circlers.
For instance,when sharing photos, please don’t inundate the stream by publishing several single pictures in separate posts at one go, but rather publish one album. If you want just your nearest and dearest to see the latest baby/dog/cat/holiday pics, use your own circles share or even +name to share with just certain persons.

Let's keep signal to noise ratio balanced! :-)


Sharing to Circles and Notifying

Now here’s a hot potato of a subject! When you share something, please don’t notify anyone unless you know them personally and are sure that they don’t mind. +Michelle Marie even wrote a post about this. Try searching ‘Notify’ in Google+ and you’ll see what I mean.

Many of you have asked about how to control who can send you notifications, so Google has rolled out an option in Google+ settings: “Who can notify you.” They really do their thing well, don’t they, and always listen to us!

You can update your settings here: https://plus.google.com/settings/plus

Good tips for Google calendar management:

Whether you're a scatterhead blonde or the best timekeeper ever, there are some great shortcuts and advice in this article!

#Calendar   #Googletips   #Business  

Different uses of Google+

There are so many individual uses to this Circleverse of ours:
Someone may be looking at the platform through professionalism and marketing, others are just having fun and being social.

No-one is telling you how to use it:
However, when well-meaning people give advice on different aspects in how you could use Google+, please respect their suggestions. That's what they are: Suggestions and examples.  Especially for those of you who'd like to grow your circles base.

If you don't agree, that's fine. But please refrain from berating the poster and others who might welcome those tips.
Some people might find the advice suited to their situation and needs.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything on G+ against their will, so pass on if the advice is not for you.

Let's keep G+ positive!

The truth is out there...

Are you more honest than a banker? Under what circumstances would you lie, or cheat, and what effect does your deception have on society at large? Dan Ariely, one of the world's leading voices on human motivation and behaviour is the latest big thinker to get the RSA Animate treatment.

"The Quitter"

Fate handed the quitter a bump, and he dropped;
The road seemed too rough to go, so he stopped.
He thought of his hurt, and there came to his mind
The easier path he was leaving behind.


Oh, it's all much too hard, said the quitter right then;
I'll stop where I am and not try it again.
He sat by the road and he made up his tale
To tell when men asked why he happened to fail.


A thousand excuses flew up to his tongue,
And these on the thread of his story he strung,
But the truth of the matter he didn't admit;
He never once said, I was frightened and quit.


Whenever the quitter sits down by the road
And drops from the struggle to lighten his load,
He can always recall to his own peace of mind
A string of excuses for falling behind;


But somehow or other he can't think of one
Good reason for battling and going right on.
Oh, when the bump comes and fate hands you a jar,
Don't baby yourself, boy, whoever you are;


Don't pity yourself and talk over your woes;
Don't think up excuses for dodging the blows.
But stick to the battle and see the thing through.
And don't be a quitter, whatever you do.

- Edgar A. Guest

Out in space two alien forms are speaking with each other.

The first spaceman says, "The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based weapons."
The second alien, who looks exactly like the first, asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"
The first spaceman says, "I don't think so...They have them aimed at themselves."

From +5° C to -25° C in a week

The winter has taken over Finland.  Woke up this  morning to -8° F.

Brrr.  Good morning my dear Circleverse:  I need hot coffee!  And a fire.

Of living now:

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr/Mrs Right.

Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won. Only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

Persist and Carpe Diem - seize the day. Grab the moment, don't hesitate.

On a lighter note:

You know what day it is, again... :-)

BUSINESS TO DO's

Mind the gap
– Right now in your organization, there is a gap between you and sales, you and your customers, you and your CEO, and you and your employees. Some gaps are big and some are really big. In 2012, make all these gaps smaller. How? Meet weekly with a different front line sales person, call at least one customer per week, take one task from your CEO’s to do list and report progress to her regularly, and eat with your employees – you’ll be amazed at what you can learn over meals.

Rethink everything
– I know it’s a cliche. But it’s time to give everything another look – websites, collateral, trade show booth, emails – everything about your brand deserves rethinking.

Measure the return on every dollar spent
– If the recession taught us anything, let it be that measurement of marketing investments makes them much easier to defend. It is no longer reasonable to run marketing initiatives without identifying and tracking at least a few key performance indicators and return on investment.

Learn more about the digital behaviors of your customers
– Combine the ability to access content anytime, anywhere, on a growing number of devices with the increasing number of social networks and platforms, and you now have an entirely different landscape in which to influence buyers. Do you know how your prospects find you? Now more than ever it will be important to understand the digital lifestyles of your prospects and customers.

Get YOUR social strategy right, at YOUR pace
– The key words here are: your,strategy, and pace. Social media isn’t one size fits all. Define your specific goals. Then develop your social media strategy. And don’t rush; you are not late to the game. Take the time to plan your social strategy properly. Make the execution of your social strategy at your pace. Ensure it is right for the amount of resources you are able to dedicate to it this year.

Congratulations if you've read all the way here! :-)

Musings on successful presence and Google+ topics:

The people you circle, what are you looking for there?

A person, certain topics or all things interesting?

This is the first platform where I've seen people think that "I post about the topics that interest ME" and not about stuff that they think might interest someone else or their readership. Google+ is honest in that way, especially when folks realize that they can just be themselves and that there are scores of others who think likewise.  An audience for everyone.

Are you familiar with all the apps for productivity?

(More about Google Drive http://support.google.com/drive/?hl=en)
Take a look:

IN NEED OF WARMTH?

- Write thank-you notes. Expressing gratitude makes you and the recipient happy.

- Call your mom. Or your dad, or your grandma or anyone you haven’t talked to in a while and surprise them with a chat.

- Get a cat. If you’re not a dog person, cats make wonderful, loving, stress-reducing housemates and bed-warmers.

- Cuddle up with someone you love. Enjoy time with your kids or your partner for instant happiness.

- Babysit for a friend. Being around children’s infectious optimism is sure to boost your mood.

- Hold a baby. They’re cute and cuddly and without a care in the world—you’ll feel instantly uplifted.

100 ways to be Happy: Part 7

ATTITUDE AND LIFE

40) Accept that you can’t be happy all the time. Focus on being content and the true happiness will be all that much sweeter.

41) Try to see from others’ perspectives. Much of our unhappiness comes from our frustration with other people not understanding us. Try to imagine how they see the world and the frustration will ease.

42) Let the little things go. There’s no sense in wasting your energy and inhibiting your happiness by worrying about things you can’t change.

43) Make the decision to be happy. Happiness is an attitude, not a physical state.

44) Don’t take things personally. So often, anger and frustration directed at us is a result of someone else’s misplaced stress. Recognize that it’s not necessarily about you and you’ll remain calmer and happier.

Sharing your circles and interests

#G+Tip

This is a good way to let others too find people who are interested in your hobby: Perhaps you have found excellent Google+ users who share your passion and would like your other circles or the general public to also enjoy their posts or content.

That’s very easy to do:

Go to your ‘Circles’ page and find the circle in question. Click the circle: You see all the people in it displayed at the top of the page. Now go and look at the circle at the lower half of the page and you’ll see in the center of it ‘Edit / Delete / Share’. By clicking the Share you get choices: Public, all circles or just one, extended circles or then you can just +name and share it with few people.

Give an explanation why you'd like to share this circle so that people will know if it's your woodwork / knitting circle or your scientists one... :-) You don't have to reveal the actual name you've given to the circle.

You can also disable comments or lock the share post so no-one can re-share it by clicking the grey arrow on the bottom right. There is box you can tick if you want to include yourself in the circle, to be shared onwards.

Happy sharing!

Message From A Mom To Her Child:

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.

I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.

I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.

I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.

I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.

I can tell you about alcohol & drugs, but I cannot say "no" for you.

I can tell you about lofty goals, but I cannot achieve them for you.

I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot force you to be gracious.

I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.

I can love you with unconditional love all of my life....and I will.

Grow your own food:

Redefining the indoor plant-growing

Have you ever wanted to grow your own salads, herbs, chillies and other veggies and plants?

Do you find it’s too messy, taking a lot of floor space and you simply don’t remember to water those greens? And then there are vacations when you need to arrange someone to take care of your plants...all kinds of difficulties that life brings!

With FreshWall you can forget all those problems. We bring easy vertical gardening available to everyone! FreshWall is plug and enjoy; all you need to do is put the plants into our specially made pot, plug it to your FreshWall and add water to the reservoir. Plug the cord and you are ready to go.

Grow, eat, re-grow, eat, re-grow, eat. You got the point?
Eat your wall!

Outrageous "Americanization" of mobile phone history?

An excerpt from the article:

And this best-selling, arguably the most important phone in the industry history does not even make the top 12 list of Wired?

It is deemed less important than the Sidekick? What is this “Our World” that the article title refers to? Does it only extend from Beverly Hills to Upper West Side? 
Ignoring the most pivotal, world-changing models of Nokia isn’t insulting only to Nokia and Finns.
It is insulting to 80% of the world that experienced the mobile phone revolution in 1990-2010.
