Choosing Restaurants on the Road
Virtually everyone enjoys eating out. In fact, restaurants, cafes, fast food, and diners have become such an important part of American society that it’s difficult to imagine what our culture might be like without the option of eating out. Restaurants set the scene for first dates, graduation celebrations, birthdays, business lunches, marriage proposals, and nearly any occasion where the sharing of “big news” is on the horizon. Restaurants provide the opportunity to make food an experience, rather than a necessity, and many cultures and cities have a distinct personality that’s reflected through their eateries.

10 Pointers to a Life Partner

I have received an email from Miss Tracey (not her real name) from London who said in summary “Thank you for all the business issues you are helping us young people with, but also talk to us about relationships”.

I have often come across young men who cry foul over the fact that “there are no good women around” and yet in the same group of people the ladies cry that “there a no good man around”. The choice of one’s life time partner is a crucial decision that one has to make and be resolute about. A lot has been written but in this article I share what I feel I have learned over the years.

When visualizing a desire in your mind, there are among others 2 techniques that I rely on most to get the best results. The first is the action sequence visualization where you visualize yourself in an ongoing movie having and achieving your goals. The second is the snapshot technique which is where you see a series of pictures in your mind, as if you were flicking through a one page photo album. The snapshot technique is a very simple but effective visualization technique because it requires only 30 seconds of your time and only a small amount of focus because with each snapshot comes a change in focus and as your subconscious mind only understands pictures and feelings, this technique is as good as any other.
