choices

At some level we are all aware that sharing control with children is essential. As I mentioned in my last post, kids get bossed around all day. Others decide what they can eat, what they should watch on television, who they can play with, etc. I'm not suggesting that this shouldn't be the case. The adult should be making a lot of these decisions. But think about this from your child's perspective

I am a big fan of Naomi Dunsford of IttyBiz, so I hope she’ll forgive me for this half-assed reference to her brilliance, but I think she said something like, when you are trying to decide what to do next (regarding your home business) do what is closest to the money.If I’ve slaughtered the sentiment, forgive, I couldn’t pinpoint the original reference on her site, so I’ve only her to blam

"The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one." - Joan BaezThere are moments when I understand a friend's decision to replace human companionship with a dog. They should replace "When the dogs bark" bit from the "My favourite things" song with something else. Sometimes you wonder if it's worth the trouble to be civil and nice when it's so darn difficult to

I had been pondering this thought this yesterday. The more I think about it, the more I realize that our life is a series of "choices". We make hundreds of choices a day - choices that direct our lives and creates a link to another choice, and then another.For example, here are some of my thoughts and choices dilemma this morning when I woke up:Should I get up or should I try to sleep again?

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness

Summary: Life choices are so hard to make because there’s a Gap between important questions and their answers are filled with things that can’t be quantified. To answer important life questions, you have to start asking different questions. It’s a long one, folks (almost 17 minutes!) - but I think it’s worth a listen. References: Don Clark has [...]

An interesting way to make visitors click more on your ads is to limit their choices. While it may not sound very well if you hear about this idea for the first time, it isn’t actually that bad after all. The principle behind this it is that you should try to create the most logical exit points aside from the back button. A visitor has to exit the website at some point, so you should try to make him click on ads to exit the site. Some people recommend removing links to other sites from your webpage and this also includes widgets or any other banners that are not ads. You can also go to the extreme and remove your categories, RSS feed link, recent posts and date archive to even further reduce the users choices. This strategy has a lot of potential, but your blog might suffer from it, as y
