* What's in a N-a-m-e? *

Today I read the book titled "The Thank You Book" by Rosyn Freedman Spizman. It is a lovely book. I am impressed with chapter "What's in a N-a-m-e?" She suggests us to think of words that describe our beloved person. It's like acronym.

For example:

Janie ---> Just About the Nicest Individual on Earth.

Alf --- Amusing Likeable Friend

Gail --- Great Adult I Like

Justin --- Just Understanding, Super, Terrific, Irresistible & Nice

Ali --- Always Likeable and Interesting

Tom --- Terrific Outgoing Male

Patty --- Pretty Amazing Terrific Throughful You

Dad --- Dedicated Amazing & Determined

Aunt --- Always Utterly Noticeably Terrific

Uncle --- Unbelievable Nice Clever Leading Example

Teacher --- Terrific Educator Always Caring Happy Ecstatic Reasonable

* The Foolish, The Clever, The Wise *

Hi, everybody Laughing

It is quite a long time I have not updated my blog. I was so busy during past 2 weeks.

Today, I would like to present the quote from the book titled "The Foolish, The Clever, The Wise" by Chai Na Pol A. This book is a 2-language book i.e. I can practice English translation at the time I read the quotes. 

@ Destination @

The foolish live their lives without a destination, Floating along aimlessly, Often found themselves at the starting conditions.

The clever often set unreachable destinations, Bearing these burdens on their shoulders, Always regarding where they stand with dissatisfaction.

The wise know their ultimate destination in life, Meeting small destinations on the ladder to success, They achieve hope and happiness throughout their journey.

Best of Luck to all of you! Laughing

* So Glad Being Your Friend *

Today, I read the book titled "Words to Live By." It is a keepsake book with beautiful illustrations and wonderful quotes.

I am very happy everytime I read this book. Laughing

There are many quotes about friendship. I like the one from Edgar A. Guest:

 

@----------------------------------------------------------------------------@

I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.

I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be.

I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day.

As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way.

@----------------------------------------------------------------------------@

My friend recommended Ebaby to me. After studying the lessons and reading the blogs for a while, I decided to be a member of this site. I have more friends and my new friends are nice to me.

So I would like to tell you that...

Laughing I'm so glad to be your friend at Ebaby. Laughing

* Googling Google *

I think no one does not know Google  - the very best search engine for many people (and also me). Google is not only search engine but it also has many interesting and useful features. Google can translate webpages to you, it can be a calculator, it can check spelling, and etc. Wherever you are, you can access Google and set its webpage to your language.

Although it can help us finding a lot of information in only part of second, we have to choose what to read and decide which information is necessary and reliable. As you may know, there are a lot of hoaxes that make you misunderstanding about some information. So be careful in searching information via internet.

These are some tips for you to make your search a little easier, consider the following:

  • What keywords should you use?
  • What synonyms would help?
  • What a different word forms are there?
  • Will a phrase help the search?
  • Where should I search?

I got a lot of useful information from the book titled "Dave Sperling's Internet Guide." Although it is published in 1998, overall content is still useful.

Have a good time with Google! Laughing

* Simplify Your Life! *

Today, I went to the bookstore and bought several books and a magazine. The magazine I bought is Reader's Digest. In March 2008 copy, the cover is very striking to me. There are many notes surrounding eyes of the man and the word "Swamped?." It means we were swamped by a lot of work, e-mails, blogs, voicemail, and news. Oh! it is the same as my life. 555  The cover story is titled "Tech No!." It sounds interesting. So I finally bought it. Laughing

This is the advice from the article.

Five Ways to Manage Workplace Stress Laughing

  1. Take breaks throughout the day.
  2. Enroll in a noontime or an after-work exercise class.
  3. Try pacing your activities.
  4. Listen to music while you work to help you relax.
  5. Get to work warly or stay late once a week.

Although the internet makes our lives more convenient in  many ways, it makes our lives more complex and overload!

My solution is "Simplify Your Life!"

Back to normal mode.

Use ordinary things.

Take a break from technology.

*Your life will be easier and you will feel free from being overwhelmed! *
