Preventing Tobacco Beetles in Cigars

I hate cigar termites as I call them, commonly refered to as tobacco beetles. I'll never forget my first glimpse into a box of Cuban Montecristo that these heartless monsters shredded. It looked as if the cigars had been shot from a short distance with bird shot sized pellets. All of the care and hard work involved in growing the tobacco, and then handrolling the cigars, all of the endless months and years of aging, and the eventual painful purchase price was all a big waste of time and...

When Quitting is a Loser

Have you ever wondered why there are people who just know the right way to success? It is as if they knew what roads to take, what signs to follow, and simply they recognize where they should go. These people are not extraordinary personalities. They are simply endowed with the right qualities that are needed in order to succeed. These qualities are the primary reason why success is only foreseeable to some and yet it is for everybody. The question is: Why is there such thing as failure...

Do Not Burn Yourself Out: Have a Stress-free Life

In a magazine publication, the magazine editor knows stress intimately. Working against ever-looming deadlines, she spends her days in and out of meetings, editing and writing copy, and managing her expanding staff of writers and editors. It may seem inevitable that operating the command center of a monthly magazine would invite stress. However, many people do not realize that stress is something you can prevent, no matter how intense your occupation or how fast-paced your daily life is....

Establish Your Credibility For Better Public Relations

I had a college professor one semester that was so captivating in his lectures that I was hesitant to leave when the class was over. I probably would have been content to sit there and listen to him spout off about anything as long as he kept talking. He was interesting, yes, but even if he had stated that cats could talk and buildings could walk, I probably would have believed him solely based on how much I trusted and respected his knowledge. There are many aspects of public speaking...

I Had a Dream

"Are you blind?" she screamed, "World War III has started and you're acting as if everything's just peachy"!, referring of course to the current state of the world. The subject in my dream several nights ago I am very close to in real life. I recall replying something to the effect that "I can understand why you think this, but the world was not that great a place *before* 9/11 and the terrorist attacks have only served as the catalyst for the positive, spiritual changes the world needed...

The Seven Sisters of Success

I recently had a chance to interview several groups of extremely successful people. A handful are famous athletes, several are nationally known artists, writers or politicians, and all are multi-millionaires. I asked them for the keys, or essential factors that allowed them to accomplish so much more than the rest of us. Their answers included a wide variety of specifics, but to an astonishing degree, 7 items came up in every discussion. I've called them the "Seven Sisters of Success",...

Who Are You Going to Call?

Let me ask you a question ... if you had a pain in your side, would you let your neighbour whip out your appendix? Of course you wouldn't and it wouldn't matter how many episodes of E.R. he'd seen! You'd go to a doctor - an expert in his field. It makes you wonder why so many people approach friends, relatives and colleagues for advice about specialist problems, when these people have no more qualifications than our telly-watching friend. Every hour of every day there are...

Small Steps And Golden Stones

It was a long walk but someone had to do it. And today it was up to Tori to carry the water from the river, through the fields and across the valley, back to the camp. He set out early before sunrise so that he could do his work before the heat of the day became too much. Very soon he was standing by the side of the river. He knelt down and cupped the flowing water into his hands. It felt great. So refreshing, cool and alive as it flowed through his outstretched hands. He drank some...

Peace Of Mind At The Workplace

Work brings together people of different characters and behavior, and this often causes friction, resentment and stress. Sometimes the boss is too demanding, colleagues may be unpleasant, there might be too much work or the working conditions may not be comfortable. The job may be boring, there might be competition or envy between the workers or the customers may be uncongenial or unfriendly. No wonder there is tension and stress. These are some of the reasons why most people eagerly...
