Take a Chance and Public Speak!

How many people do you know that love public speaking? If you are like me, the answer is not many. In fact, I don’t know of anyone that likes it. With this in mind, why should you take the chance and public speak? The answer is because few people like to do it. It is really a fairly easy skill to learn. A matter of some practice and research and you should make out fine. The issue is that most of us don’t have the opportunity to practice our skills and thus are intimidated when the time comes where we need to do such a presentation.

Having a skill that very few people in the general population have is a great advantage in almost every situation. Use your skills to promote your business. Challenge yourself to venture outside your comfort zone. Doing so will build confidence and an internal power you did not realize you possessed. Imagine holding seminars where people actually paid to come see you speak about your area of expertise.

What area should you specialize in, you ask? The answer is whichever topic is of interest to you. It doesn’t matter if it’s rocket science or rock-n-roll, there will be an audience for both and if that is where your passion lies, that is where you should be focusing you energy. We are often told growing up that you shouldn’t even think of sports or music as a career but there are tons of people making better livings than the majority of the population in these exact fields. And, they are not all the athletes or musicians. My point is simply that if you figure out what you are good at and what you truly love, no matter what it is, you can find a way to be successful at it.

By starting out speaking on your chosen topic, you will progress in ways you never thought possible. People will consider you the expert in your field. They will come to you for advice about how to get started, just like you. The key, as always, is taking that first and difficult step. Take the step! Don’t let life pass you by. Don’t lie on your death bed thinking about “what if” scenarios. Go for it now and get started!

Writing the Resource Box so It Makes People click

The internet is the information super highway, this phrase has been used so many times it should be nominated for the Internet Cliché Award. People who go to the internet are subdivided into groups, but generally, they are out to search for information. Whether it’s for gaming, for business, fun or anything else, the internet has provided us with information that has proved to be very beneficial.

Through the recent years, many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the effects articles have done for the traffic of their sites. Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing articles that could be read by their website visitors and have links that could lead to many sites that are related to the topics and subjects of the articles.

For example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole lot of topics. As a website visitor reads the articles they have searched for, they can find at the end of the article a resource box that can be clicked on to link them to the site that has submitted the article. Of course the article would be in relation to the site. Lets say if the article is about rotating the tires, the resource box may lead to a link to a site that sells tires or car parts.

A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. They will contain the name of the author, a brief description of the author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to find out where the article came from to read more. The resource box will be their link to the source of the article and this will entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or research for the subject or topic they are interested in.

But like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader. While the resource box encompasses only a small space, providing the right keywords and content for your resource box will provide more prodding for the reader to go to your site.

Now we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits of having a good resource box? Mainly its driving traffic to your site. Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords. Learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use.

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you had better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your reader with resource box content that will make them take a second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and, ultimately, click through to your web site.

Another tip is to use keywords that should be related to your site. Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your resource box by providing resource box content that makes a lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them.

Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be small in size but they will provide a significant aid in driving traffic to your site. A boring resource box will never get the job done. Be fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer, too much to ask for something that couldn’t fit a paragraph? Yes and no, there are many tips and guides that can help you in doing this, the first step is realizing how important a resource box could be in making people click your link and be directed to your site.

Discover the best kept secrets of writing successful articles that literally send a massive surge of highly targeted visitors flooding to your web site. Traffic for Words reveals all.

Lord Byron’s Poem, She Walks in Beauty

Lord Byron’s opening couplet to “She Walks In Beauty” is among the most memorable and most quoted lines in romantic poetry. The opening lines are effortless, graceful, and beautiful, a fitting match for his poem about a woman who possesses effortless grace and beauty.

Life in England

Lord Byron was born George Gordon Noel Byron in London in 1788. He became a Lord in 1798 when he inherited the title and the estate of his great-uncle. Byron’s mother had taken him to Scotland for treatment for his club foot, but she brought him back to England to claim the title and the estate.

Byron was privately tutored in Nottingham for a short period. He then studied in Harrow, Southwell, and Newstead, and finally at Trinity College. Byron discovered a talent for writing poetry and published some early poems in 1806 and his first collection, called Hours of Idleness, in 1897 at the age of 19. When he turned age 21 he was able to take his seat in the House of Lords.

However, Lord Byron left England for two years with his friend, John Hobhouse, to travel through Europe. They toured Spain, Malta, Greece, and Constantinople. Greece especially impressed Byron and would create a recurring theme in his life.

After returning to England Lord Byron made his first speech to the House of Lords. Later that year he published a “poetic travelogue” titled, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, a respectable collection of verses about his recent travels in Europe. The collection earned Lord Byron lasting fame and admiration. Lord Byron had become a ladies’ man and the newly earned celebrity brought him a series of affairs and courtships.

Lord Byron married Anna Isabella Milbanke in 1815 and his daughter, Augusta, was born later that year. However, the marriage did not last long. In early 1816 Anna and Augusta left Lord Byron and later that year he filed for legal separation and left England for Switzerland, a self-imposed exile.

Life in Europe

While in Switzerland Lord Byron stayed with Percy Bysshe Shelley, a prominent metaphysical and romantic poet, and had an illegitimate daughter, Allegra, with Claire Clairmont. After that affair ended, Lord Byron and his friend, John Hobhouse traveled through Italy, settling first in Venice, where he had a couple more affairs, including an affair with the nineteen year old Countess Teresa Guicciolo. Here Lord Byron began his most famous and most acclaimed work, the epic poem Don Juan.

Lord Byron and Teresa moved to Ravenna, then to Pisa, and then to Leghorn, near Shelley’s house, in 1821. The poet Leigh Hunt moved in with Lord Byron later that year after Shelley drowned off the coast near Leghorn in a storm. Lord Byron contributed poetry to Hunt’s periodical, The Liberal, until 1823 when he took the opportunity to travel to Greece to act as an agent for the Greeks in their war against Turkey.

Lord Byron used his personal finances to help fund some of the battles by the Greeks against the Turks. He even commanded a force of three thousand men in an attack on the Turkish-held fortress of Lepanto. The siege was unsuccessful and the forces withdrew. At this time Lord Byron suffered one or two epileptic fits. The remedy of the day, blood-letting, weakened him.

Six weeks later, during a particularly chilly rainstorm, Lord Byron contracted a severe cold. The accompanying fever was treated by repeated bleeding by trusted physicians, but his condition worsened until he eventually slipped into a coma and died on April 19, 1924.

Lord Byron was a hero in Greece and was deeply mourned there. His heart was buried in Greece and his body was sent to England where it was buried in the family vault near Newstead. He was denied burial in Westminster Abbey because of the perceived immorality of his life and numerous controversies. Finally in 1969, 145 years after his death, a memorial was placed in the Poets’ Corner of Westminster Abbey, commemorating his poetry and accomplishments.

Shortly after his arrival in Greece, Lord Byron had written these appropriate lines.

“Seek outless often sought than found

A soldier’s gravefor thee the best

Then look around, and choose thy ground,

And take thy rest.”

An interesting and exceptional biography of Lord Byron’s life was written in 1830 by a contemporary and friend, John Galt, titled, The Life of Lord Byron. The 49 chapters give a good measure of Lord Byron’s complexity.

“She Walks in Beauty”

In June, 1814, several months before he met and married his first wife, Anna Milbanke, Lord Byron attended a party at Lady Sitwell’s. While at the party, Lord Byron was inspired by the sight of his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot, who was wearing a black spangled mourning dress. Lord Byron was struck by his cousin’s dark hair and fair face, the mingling of various lights and shades. This became the essence of his poem about her.

According to his friend, James W. Webster, “I did take him to Lady Sitwell’s party in Seymour Road. He there for the first time saw his cousin, the beautiful Mrs. Wilmot. When we returned to his rooms in Albany, he said little, but desired Fletcher to give him a tumbler of brandy, which he drank at one to Mrs. Wilmot’s health, then retired to rest, and was, I heard afterwards, in a sad state all night. The next day he wrote those charming lines upon herShe walks in Beauty like the Night…”

The poem was published in 1815. Also in that year Lord Byron wrote a number of songs to be set to traditional Jewish tunes by Isaac Nathan. Lord Byron included “She Walks in Beauty” with those poems.

She Walks in Beauty

1

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow’d to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

2

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair’d the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

3

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

Discussion of the Poem

The first couple of lines can be confusing if not read properly. Too often readers stop at the end of the first line where there is no punctuation. This is an enjambed line, meaning that it continues without pause onto the second line. That she walks in beauty like the night may not make sense as night represents darkness. However, as the line continues, the night is a cloudless one with bright stars to create a beautiful mellow glow. The first two lines bring together the opposing qualities of darkness and light that are at play throughout the three verses.

The remaining lines of the first verse employ another set of enjambed lines that tell us that her face and eyes combine all that’s best of dark and bright. No mention is made here or elsewhere in the poem of any other physical features of the lady. The focus of the vision is upon the details of the lady’s face and eyes which reflect the mellowed and tender light. She has a remarkable quality of being able to contain the opposites of dark and bright.

The third and fourth lines are not only enjambed, but the fourth line begins with an irregularity in the meter called a metrical substitution. The fourth line starts with an accented syllable followed by an unaccented one, rather than the iambic meter of the other lines, an unaccented syllable followed by an accented one. The result is that the word “Meet” receives attention, an emphasis. The lady’s unique feature is that opposites “meet” in her in a wonderful way.

The second verse tells us that the glow of the lady’s face is nearly perfect. The shades and rays are in just the right proportion, and because they are, the lady possesses a nameless grace. This conveys the romantic idea that her inner beauty is mirrored by her outer beauty. Her thoughts are serene and sweet. She is pure and dear.

The last verse is split between three lines of physical description and three lines that describe the lady’s moral character. Here soft, calm glow reflects a life of peace and goodness. This is a repetition, an emphasis, of the theme that the lady’s physical beauty is a reflection of her inner beauty.

Lord Byron greatly admired his cousin’s serene qualities on that particular night and he has left us with an inspired poem.

The poem was written shortly before Lord Byron’s marriage to Anna Milbanke and published shortly after the marriage.

How New Authors Can Keep Their Manuscripts Coherent

In large publishing houses, many manuscripts penned by first-time authors, never make it past the “first reader” who for all practical purposes is a gatekeeper of sorts. This person’s job is to weed out manuscripts that do not fit certain established submission criteria. However, many never make it to the editor’s desk, simply because they are badly disorganized and downright incoherent.

But even if you are self-publishing, you owe it to yourself as well as your readers to develop a theme. Not only will a theme tell what your book is about, it also serves to hold your book together. Every other element your chapters, for example should support your theme. It is what keeps you from rambling all over the place, and if you should stray, it is what can bring you back if you keep it in front of you.

That’s literally, as well as figuratively. I wouldn’t begin to write or give a talk without having a developed theme. Have you ever been to a banquet or meeting where the speaker went on and on with a speech that was all over the place, talking about everything under the sun, except the topic the audience was waiting to hear about? Most likely it wasn’t because the speaker didn’t have a topic, but rather it was because the speaker didn’t have or didn’t take the time to develop a theme. If you want your story to be just as disjointed then don’t develop a theme for it.

Unlike a working title that may change to something else entirely different or even several times before a manuscript is finished, a theme shouldn’t change during the course of your writing. It may become more obvious during the writing process, but I advise writers to spend serious time developing their theme so that they are clear about the message they are trying to convey. If it is not clear to you, how can you write it in such a way that it is clear to your readers?

Unfortunately, you cannot find the answer to why you are writing your story in this article, or in any book for that matter. You cannot even find it in a classroom setting. Books and classes can only serve to help you bring the reason(s) to the surface, but the answer must come from you. How then, do you determine your book’s purpose? How can you be certain that it is more than a good story? Your book’s purpose is, to a great degree, intertwined with your purpose.

Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the Chicken Soup series suggests meditation, or deep, controlled, concentrated thought. He says, “Relax and tap into your mind, way back there in the deepest,
secret compartment of your mind, by asking yourself this
question: ‘If I knew my life purpose, what would it be?’ Don’t just ask it once. Keep asking this question until you get the answer. It may not come the first day, or even the first week. But it’s there, and it will show its face if you earnestly ask.”

Hansen states that this should be repeated every morning and every night for 15 minutes until the answer comes to you, and then write it down. He continues, “Be open to the answer, no matter when it comes to you. Remember, it wants you just as much as you want it.”

A good theme does three things: 1) it describes the story or book; 2) it captures the uniqueness of the story or book; 3) it motivates the author. If it accomplishes these three things, it will also make your outline easier to create. In business-speak, an “elevator speech” is a brief description about your company that you should be able to give to someone in the time it would take to ride up an elevator. I hold that everyone writing a book needs an elevator speech, or theme, for it.

Under The Leaded Sky in Serbia

When one population in one century survived five wars, two wars in just ten years, enforcment by self a question it`s the war destiny of Serbian people or his dare. With what a Serbian people has merit this - with his frankness, levity, with collective and national damnation or just with that fact which they are living in the territories which from its geopolitical consideration always were interesting orbit of much other populations. Maybe all this is a colective spread why is Serbian people with centuries had carry on contest for survival in Balkan, together attest its claim and necessity for protection of a national identity and his roots. In that permanent war people had obtained and dissipates but often had pass a golgote, and invigorated in every countenance .

His “armature” must be stronger than steel to resist not just external compressions but and inner pressures which sometime were of nourish intensity from the right once, with constant undergo political and economic exhaustions.

Become an Instant Author by Playing Well with Others

You wrote a tips booklet. Maybe more than one. Oh wait, are you one of the people who still hasn’t done one yet? Not to worry. This is not leading up to any kind of guilt trip for you. This article is going in a completely different direction. Stay with me on this.

Look around you. You probably have colleagues, a circle of professional friends, people you utilize as a sounding board, as a mastermind, as a respite from your daily process. And you each like doing the work you’ve prepared yourself to do, whether it’s being a business coach, a hypnotist, a retailer, an artist, a realtor, or endless other possibilities. Yet you also love the idea of being a published author…someday, when you get around to it, when the stars and planets are aligned just perfectly. Or the idea of expanding an existing product line appeals to you, and a booklet seems to be the perfect answer for that. After all, these are some of the things that drove you to subscribe to this newsletter to begin with, right?

What would you and your colleagues think of jointly creating a tips booklet? Each of you would contribute several tips, have someone else oversee all of the production, give you ideas for marketing it. Each colleague shares in the costs, making the entire thing not only palatable but an exciting prospect and even fun to do instead of some kind of drudgery. It’s very possible this is a solution that just had not yet come to mind. I can almost see you sitting there saying some version of ‘yes, that’s perfect (or ‘brilliant’ for our friends in the UK).

Several years ago, a group of veteran professional organizers wanted to create a revenue stream for themselves so they did not have to tap the general budget of the umbrella association to which they belonged. About 100 organizers (104, to be exact) each contributed several tips. We then selected one tip from each person and created a booklet for the group. To date, the booklet has brought in quite a few thousand dollars for that group of veteran organizers. The great thing about that booklet is how it serves as both a revenue stream for the group plus it markets the business of each contributor in the booklet. You’ll find their name, business name, and city right under their tip. Every organizer whose tip is in that booklet instantly became a published author. Not only that. There’s more. Any booklet that a co-author distributes markets every other co-author in the booklet. Plus (and this is just so terrific) the booklet is of great interest to reporters and journalists in the media who love to interview more than one person for any article they write. It’s a ready-made mechanism for getting lots and lots of publicity.

I recently started a conversation with a representative from a group of about 15 health care professionals in related areas of expertise, exploring the idea of the group jointly co-authoring a booklet. Each person in the group contributes a handful of tips, shares in the production costs (bringing that way down), and becomes a published author. This takes much less time, m0ney, and brain damage than if any one of these people wrote a complete booklet themselves. That’s not to say they won’t ever do one on their own. It just means they will get one done probably sooner through the collaboration of this tips booklet anthology, and they will expand their reach every time any other co-author distributes this booklet.

Collaboration is far from being a new thing. Book anthologies are done all the time. Cookbooks have been put together just this way for years and years, with each person in a particular group contributing their favorite recipe. The “Chicken Soup for the …”series is probably one of the best known anthologies of recent times. It’s just taken awhile to realize that the same thing can be done with tips booklets, and done within any self-contained, self-formed group rather than a publisher of an anthology gathering unrelated people together to create the book.

Has your mind started racing about who you can approach to jointly do a booklet with you? You don’t have to be best pals with a colleague or love everyone in your mastermind group or agree with every pearl that comes out of every coach in your Special Interest Group, or think that each person at the recent chamber of commerce meeting was the most brilliant person you ever met. You don’t even need to live anywhere near each other in order to put together a collaborative booklet. All you need is to find a group of people interested in contributing some tips in a somewhat related field. Depending on the size of the group, it may be one or two tips, or 10-12 tips. In either case, it’s a minor amount of time, effort, and m0ney to instantly become a published author.

To find out more about getting started with one of these collaborations (and completed before you even realize it!), contact us.

Phone Call With You

I called you last night
And it was the best night of my life
Well, no it wasn’t
But still it was great

I was so tensed
I didn’t know what to say
It was all about school
But still I was frightened

I simply kept talking,
Talking and talking
You hardly said a word
And I felt so stupid

But this morning you asked me
“Why did you call, again?”
I told you why
And so you remembered

And then you said you were eating
That’s why you hardly spoke
So at least I was relieved
I wasn’t so stupid at all

It was my first conversation with you on the phone
I had mixed emotions
But the feeling wasn’t new
‘Cause I always feel this way with you

Flash opens new windows and opportunities for game designers

There are three main aspects: the player, the file format, and
the authoring tool/IDE. Flash games can be developed for
websites, interactive TV, as well as handheld devices. There is
no need to adopt multiple programming languages to build games.

It is the universal tool that permits the development of
multimedia driven complex games. Games means fast, furious,
efficient with rich graphics.

Flash enables developers to build the most popular games for
online gamers. It just needs to support:

* Rich engaging graphics. * Smooth download of files from the
net. * A playback device that can interpret downloads.

There are three main areas: design, development, and hosting.

The first step is creation of graphics. One must use Fireworks
as well as Freehand for this aspect. The tools are compatible
and fireworks allows the addition of Java script to images.

The game development will be done in Flash by importing graphics
created in Freehand and Fireworks. The graphics are then placed
in Director the parent tool of Flash.

The next part, hosting, uses a Web server. Dreamweaver MX is the
tool that will create Web pages to host the game.

And, finally ActionScript is used to provide enhanced
functionality.

Advantages:

* Integrates almost all features needed for developing a game.
It is a great interactive tool. * Can be used anywhere does not
need additional software or plug ins. * It is Mac friendly. *
Permits conversion from a full game to web version and vice
versa. * Low cost and free to distribute. Licenses for decoders
MP3 and Sorensen Spark are included. * Artists that can use
flash easily are in plenty. * Flash delivers broadcast quality
images over the Internet. * Permits embedding of game in power
point for use in presentations. * Plenty of information as well
as guidelines can be accessed as well as understood by all
-tutorials, articles, as well as blogs. * The size of the game
file remains small as the vector graphics and sound files are
compressed. * Learning Flash language is easy. * Permits
copy-paste to test components

There are traps one must be wary of and a few cons. Know the
system well to maximize its use. There are plenty of tutorials
inline that can be used as guides. Flash interface is ideally
suited to both designer as well as developer, you can have fun
while creating the game.

Flash is simple to use and a game can be developed in a few
hours in a packaged form that can run on a PC, Mac, or Linux.
One can make use of a browser or run the game as a stand alone.
