Destiny is made of choices. Most of what will happen to you depends on the choices you make and their consequences in the future. Careful, conscious choices produce positive outcomes; hurried, poor choices lead to regrets. Some people make poor choices about continuing in education and find themselves blocked from worthwhile jobs. Others choose to give up instead of persevering with difficulties and live to regret it. Choices offer options to respond differently than you have in the past and try new things....

I remember reading Tina Sellig’s (executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program) book- What I wish I knew when I was 20. (I don’t know Tina, though I wish I did, and I love her book.) She gave her students the exact same problem. Here are her words, with my emphasis. If you don’t have time to read the whole thing, just skim and read the words in bold....

If you can relate to this, it means that you are living a life with regrets. No-one should live this way. Life is short and meaningless, and your main goal should be to find your own personal idea of happiness. However, regret is often linked to a negative mindset. You can choose to think “I regret the past”, or you can choose to think “the choices I make today will affect the regrets I have in ten years”....

This is a great concept for writers and anyone who wants to share videos. However, it’d be nice to be able to cut down and edit such video so you’re sharing exactly what you want to. Particularly useful, and something I haven’t yet seen outside of video blogging, is the use of video to quote speech or reference specific information. It seems to be all or nothing at the moment....

It may seem that as the boss, you are more in control of your time and work duties. Feeling stressed? Take a day off. Don’t feel like doing something? Give the task to someone else. But in reality, the responsibility of leading a company weighs heavy on many company owners. In addition, when you’re passionate about growing your business, it can be tricky to notice the symptoms of burnout. It may take long months or even years of putting yourself through survival mode before you notice that your body or mind has raised a white flag....

Traveling can be both fun and confusing. Basic customary practices that you grew up embracing may not always apply in the countries you are traveling to. In some cases, what can be respectful for some, is considered to be rude for others. In order to establish rapport quickly, you must know how to observe local customs as a traveler. It’s easy to get caught up in your own world, but the moment you step off the plane, you’ll realize that the world that you’ve come to know is a lot bigger than you once thought....

If your closest experience to extreme is running an extra mile on a treadmill or finally getting the courage to ask that girl from the gym on a date, you can say you’re in a rut. Add a fact that you’re not satisfied with your fitness level or overall health and you’re set to fail. That’s all because of monotony training and lifestyle. No change of program or diet would get your blood flowing, or get you to scream of joy....

Former FBI Agent LaRae Quy gives us 5 of her secrets to developing will power. Will power is one of those things that are hard to define, but you know it when you see it. You can call it determination, drive, resolve, self-discipline, self-control, or mental toughness. It’s really about taking the hard right instead of the easy wrong. It’s about gutting it out when the going gets tough and you could quit, but don’t....

This feeling is something that every achiever human-being feels once in a while. The good news is that there are proven science-based ways to help take back the power. It’s not possible to continually win without experiencing a loss, and the way we react to failure is what defines us. There are (sadly) many practical examples—from battling a bad habit (did anyone say Netflix binge on a Tuesday night?) or even an addiction to dealing with a boss you don’t like who makes every day seem like it will never end....

Think about your work environment, how is it? Do you have really loud noise constantly and poor communication? Do you feel pressure to work at optimum levels all the time? Do you have too much work and have too little time? These are the most common sources of stress in the office. Do you know how to manage it? I know when I was at school, I didn’t take the subject How to Manage Stress Effectively 101­: we are not taught skills to manage our worries, but it is a part of everyday life now....

That’s why you need to do everything you can if it falls in a puddle of water or the toilet. What can you do besides take it apart and wait for it to dry? If you have Reviveaphone handy, you’d be able to increase the chances of saving it from wasting away. Reviveaphone is a first aid kit for mobile devices. It can help get rid of mineral deposits that can render your phone useless after it has been exposed to water....

While none of it is all that dangerous in and of itself, I think there is reason to be cautious about the ideas and strategies we invest our time, energy, and all too often our selves into. By presenting poor advice that promises but, in the end, fails to make us more productive, more able to handle the overwhelming press of personal and professional commitments, or more satisfied with our abilities, talents, and achievements, this mass of bad advice leaves us doubting ourselves, wondering not if there’s something wrong with the authors but if there’s something wrong with us....

Pre-Workout For those of us who prefer to work out in the morning, fruit with yogurt or granola is always a great choice. Smoothies are a fun alternative too, such as the “fruitsation shake,” made by blending together whey protein, ice, and frozen berries. If you need a caffeine boost but don’t want to drink hot coffee before hitting the treadmill, consider what Davis calls the “Star-buffs shake” and blend one cup of iced coffee with a scoop of chocolate whey protein for an icy pick-me-up!...

The reason behind this question are photographs taken by friends of mine who recently visited London while on vacation they photographed some beautiful places sure to tempt anyone to schedule a visit.

Let us have an introduction to these destinations, so that we do not forget to visit them along with more famous destinations....

So, what it is? Freekeh is actually a wheat that is harvested before it’s ripe, while the seeds are still green and soft thus retaining many of its nutrients. After it’s been harvested, it is dried in the sun and then carefully burned to remove the straw and chaff, leaving only the grain that has a slightly smoky and nutty taste. Freekeh has been popular in Mediterranean and Middle East for a long time now, and its popularity has begun spreading due to its numerous benefits....
