Success can never be bought — it can only be rented. The best part about that is that anyone can be successful if they keep trying and paying the rent. If you are doing the 5 things below, you are closer to success than you might realize. You are not far away from success if… 1. You have friends who are more successful than you. Have you ever heard the term “Success by association?...

In truth, completing the development phase of a new product can sometimes be the easiest part of the whole process. For many, the real effort is spent on trying to convince retailers to take the plunge and agree to stock your product on their shelves. Many great inventions have never seen the light of day simply because their developers couldn’t clear this final hurdle. Having been through this process myself a number of times, I have come to rely on the following 4 essential steps which can spell the difference between receiving a “yes” or a “no” from your prospective retailer....

If you assume the average article is 500-1,000 words and the average book is 55,000-100,000 words, then an average adult reads an article in 2.5-5 minutes and reads a book in 275-500 minutes, or somewhere between 4.5 and 8 hours. A speed reader, though, could finish three articles in 1 minute and an entire book in 36-66 minutes (so slightly over an hour at most). Imagine if you increased your reading output at this level....

1. Teach them social skills Although humans are naturally social beings, social conventions are not inherent and therefore must be taught. A study conducted by researchers at PSU and Duke University showed that children who showed the ability to cooperate with and help their peers, as well as understand their emotions and work out their own problems, were more likely to experience success as they grew into adults than children who did not exhibit these social skills....

1 – Update Your Resume Once you get a job, it’s easy to file away your resume, where it’ll sit untouched until you need it again to find a new job. The problem with this line of thinking is your current job won’t be on your resume. The longer you stay at your current job, the more difficult it gets to update – you’ll have to add so many projects, job titles, etc....

If one of your goals is to be successful in any area of your life or career before 2016 comes to an end, the one thing you must to do is to become an attractive person. Late motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, “Success is something you attract by the person you become.” Rohn of course, isn’t referring to external attractiveness, rather the internal kind. If you want success and all that it brings, you have to become a better, more attractive person....

The Trouble With Time Most people have the same issue with these issues: time. It takes time to be thrifty and it takes time to have a second job. There are thousands of ways to cut costs — quite a few of them amount to doing something yourself rather than paying for, like cooking at home or mowing your own lawn. And while there are many ways to build up passive income, even those ‘passive’ streams require some effort on your part — advertising, maintenance and such....

If you look into memory enhancement just a little, you’ll see there are different categories you can focus on. In this article we will look at three categories: nutrition (what we put in our bodies), physical (what we do with our bodies), and mental (tools and hacks we can use to train our brains). For many, what we put in our face goes widely unchecked. If we do filter what we eat or drink, it is usually about losing weight, but much of our nutrition impacts our brain, which impacts our recall....

The company promises a 24-hour time limit for cold drinks and 18 hours for hot beverages....

Strong evidence A study conducted by the University of Edinburgh and published in Annals of Neurology reveals that people who speak two or more languages, even those who learned the second language as adults, may slow down cognitive decline from aging. The team, led by Dr. Thomas Bak from the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology, relied on data from 835 native English speakers who were born and living in the area of Edinburgh, Scotland....

Legendary coaches are great sources of inspiration and wisdom, and Paul W. “Bear” Bryant, the iconic coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide from the late 1950s through the early 1980s, is revered as something approaching a minor deity in the state of Alabama. There is a museum named for him at the University of Alabama (my alma mater), and every year adds a new pile of books to the literature on the man and his legacy....

Here are some examples to give you an idea of what distinctive background photos should consist of: Exhibit Your Secondary Skills Although LinkedIn regulates a professional atmosphere, it can also sometimes be appropriate to share references to your other forms of expertise outside of the office. Everyone knows that you excel at your career, but do they know that you are gifted in another field? Cultivate this second skill by choosing one that is admirable, appropriate, and valuable to feature in your background image....
