How to Strengthen Character
Character, from the Greek word "χαρακτήρα", was a term originally used for a mark impressed upon a coin. Nowadays, it is known as the sum of all the attributes, such as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty, and loyalty, in a person. Character is perhaps the most important essence a person can possess, as it defines who a person is. To strengthen one's character is to mold oneself into a productive person within one's sphere of influence. Here is some advice on how to strengthen your own character, or to train your moral discipline.
How to Know the Importance of Education
Education is a rope that can carry us to greatness. It is one of the most important things in life, because without it, you can't contribute to the world or earn money, and do not have knowledge. Knowledge is power, so when you know what you can do, you can go that mile further. This article addresses that issue and tells how to find the importance of education.
Edit
Steps
1Research. The most basic thing to know the importance of education is to research its benefits or how it will brighten up your life. If you like numbers, then maybe search up statistics of how many people have changed when they were more knowing about the world.
2Find your role models. Are your role models well educated? This shows that they needed education to make them famous so wouldn't it help you become famous if you were educated?
3Work hard. Working hard on a goal and being praised for their intelligence is a great thing for a student. Firstly you have been rewarded for your work and secondly people admire you for your knowledge, showing education can make you feel happy and satisfied with yourself.
4Be social. Education can bring people together as friends. Maybe getting the same level as someone else will bring friendship. It can happen and it does happen.
5Learn about the Environment. We can educate the younger generation about pollution so they don't have to face the problems we are facing and other environmental issues, so in the future the Earth will become greener.
6With knowledge you can do experiments to test flight or other things, not only it is fun and beneficial but you are learning!
7Find motivation. When people get bad grades, they start to deceive themselves that education is not important rather than trying harder to become much better. Find different ways to motivate yourself, like reading about a role model. If you try harder you can become a great person. Try looking for motivational quotes about education - they will surely inspire you.

How to Be Smart, a Good Leader, and an Approachable and Friendly Classmate
Edited byXxdmusicloverjxx and 5 others
Everyone likes to be the student everyone enjoys to be around. You'll be liked by both teachers and students! If you want to become a great classmate, follow these steps.
1. How to be smart.
Study! I know this can be boring, but you need to study if you're going to be smart.
Read non-fiction books! You will learn new things by reading informational books. If this is really, really, REALLY boring for you though, you can read fictional books and still learn new words.
Listen up in class! You need to be paying attention if you're going to learn anything and become smarter. If you're sitting beside someone that you either usually talk to, or he/she is talking in class to the point where you can't pay attention, talk to the teacher about getting a new seat. If your teacher says no, tell the person to be quiet.

7 Questions To Finding Your True Passion
By Frederic P.
According to a recent survey, about 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Clearly, almost everyone seems to not be doing what they were meant to do. This is an eye-opener because doing what we really love is absolutely necessary if we want to be fully happy. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness going on in our society, people just aren’t doing what they are here on Earth for. Finding your true passion isn’t as simple as it may seem. For some, yes it does come naturally, but most of the time, you have to ask yourself some questions to pinpoint exactly what you were born to do. Here are my 7 questions that can guide you to finding your ultimate passion:
How to Build Self Confidence
How to Build Self Confidence
Edited byChristina Spillane and 176 others
You want to be confident and feel confident, but what if you're starting with little or no confidence? How do you get from Point A to Point B? True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.
Steps
- 1Recognize your insecurities. What does that voice in the back of your mind say? What makes you ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from acne, to regrets, or friends at school. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, ashamed, or inferior, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.

A Roadmap for SMEs: Lead Your Business Away from Trouble and Back to Success
Owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are entitled to the same turnaround help as large corporations. Unfortunately, they don't receive it because turnaround consultants are expensive and their methods are not readily known. A turnaround roadmap can remove the mystery about turnarounds and provide a guide for owners of SMEs that are underperforming.
Like GPS navigation, a turnaround roadmap provides waypoints to help the user navigate from one location to the next. The seven major waypoints on a turnaround roadmap are listed below. If you can follow a map, you can turn your business around.
STABILIZE - The first action in any crisis is to stabilize the environment so you can make good decisions. The key to stabilizing a small business is to maintain a positive cash balance at all times. Never spend more in a week than you had at the end of the previous week. For example: if you have $100,000 cash in the bank on Monday, that is all you can spend this week, even though you may collect $125,000 on Thursday. This way, you will maintain a positive cash balance at the beginning of each week. This simple cash control budget works like a tourniquet; it maintains sufficient cash while you determine what went wrong and what to do about it.
How to Be an Optimist in a Pessimistic Time: A Techonomy Manifesto
How to Be an Optimist in a Pessimistic Time: A Techonomy Manifesto
David Kirkpatrick, Contributor
It’s no secret that technology is changing the world. Unfortunately, there are a surprising number of people who don’t get it. Many of them, even more unfortunately, are important leaders in business, other powerful instutitions, and governments. To meet the challenges that face us—whether as leaders of organizations, as leaders of countries, or as the global community addressing our collective challenge—we will only be successful if we unreservedly embrace technology and innovation as essential tools. The Techonomy conference, which begins in Tucson on Sunday November 13, aims to underscore that idea and send a pointed message to leaders that Luddites have no place in the 21st century.Five Ways to Increase Profit Margins
Five Ways to Increase Profit Margins
If your profit margins aren't rising, chances are your company isn't thriving. Here are five solutions to the problem
by Doug Hall
Ryan Snook
Is your profit margin higher than it was five years ago? I asked that question, along with several others, in my last column. I suggested that one way to boost your profit margin might be to get rid of some of your customers. Now let's look at some other reasons your profit margin might not be rising—and what to do about it.
I believe that your profit margin trend is the single most powerful indicator of your company's health. As margins decline, companies cut their sales and marketing efforts. Manufacturers postpone plant upgrades and delay research and development. And it becomes a lot less fun to own a business. Obviously, something needs to be done.
Here are five bold solutions to help increase your profit margin:
1. Fire Your Customers.
Getting rid of the 20% of your customers who provide the lowest profitability frees up capacity and resources to do work that is more profitable.Monday, November 14, 2011

5 Types of Books that Increase Intelligence
5 Types of Books that Increase Intelligence
Written by Editor in Chief, Pick The Brain - 79 Comments
Categories: book and product reviews
We read for information, with the hope that information we acquire will improve our minds, giving us the means to improve our lives. In the modern Age of Information, more reading material is available than ever, making it increasingly difficult to allocate our reading time efficiently.All books are not created equal, and it follows that all readers are not equal either. To read prodigiously and to read profitably are two very different things. A great amount of time is wasted reading books that are forgotten a short time after they’re completed. But time spent reading books that cultivate intelligence and wisdom is a labor that yields continuous benefit over a lifetime.Although it is certainly necessary, for the purposes of business and everyday life, to read about the latest news and trends, that type of reading is outside the scope of this article. My aim is to encourage the reading of books that permanently increase intelligence and, as a result, improve our chances of leading prosperous and fulfilling lives.

1. ScienceScience is not restricted to scientific text books. It includes all books that increase our understanding of the natural world. This includes books on commerce and society, with the unifying theme being the use of evidence to explain events.The great value of these books comes, not from the theories they prove (which will likely be disproved in the future), but from the development of curiosity and the methods of learning. Scientific books teach us how to investigate our intuition and validate it with evidence. They also inspire wonder and respect for the physical world and for our own intellect.
70 Ways to Increase Your Brain Power
70 Ways to Increase Your Brain Power
By Steve Gillman
Excerpt from A Book of Secrets
You Want More Brainpower - Not Higher IQ Scores!
Okay, maybe you want higher IQ scores too. The American Heritage Dictionary defines Intelligence Quotient as "The ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100."
Basically, it's a test of intelligence, with 100 as the average score. There are some problems with IQ tests however.
A recent IQ test asked which of four fruits was different. It was the one with more than one seed; but what if you were not familiar with these fruits? Obviously this test is culturally biased. You are assumed to have certain knowledge, yet you are being tested for intelligence, not knowledge.

English is quickly becoming known as the world language. Many people are obliged to learn English properly to help a business or career succeed on the international stage. Follow these strategies to attain your goal. This article assumes that you know the basics of English very well.
Steps
- 1Read any English language newspaper aloud and slowly. Go as slowly as possible in order to understand the meaning of what you are reading, including nuances. While the structure of English is fairly simple in comparison to many other languages, its idioms make it a more difficult language to adequately master.
How to Start A Bussiness
Starting a business is no more difficult than determining that you have the risk-tolerance and temperament for such an endeavor, and deciding to just take your idea and go for it.
There's no single recipe for starting a company.
Despite the catchy title, this Instructable is more personal story than authoritative how-to: It chronicles how and why Squid Labs, Instructables, and our sister companies were started, and what we've learned along the way. Squid Labs is a research and design firm that did innovation consulting, and built prototypes for services and products, many of which have since spun-off into separate companies: Instructables, this project-sharing website; Potenco, which is making a hand-held generator for cell phones and laptops; Howtoons, comics showing kids of all ages how to do things; Makani, an energy company seeking to harness high-altitude wind; OptiOpia, a vision-correction business developing low-cost portable vision-testing and lens-fabricating devices; and MonkeyLectric, which makes LED lighting systems for bicycles.

Step 1Motivation For Writing This (Now)
Squid Labs has spun off several companies from technologies developed in the lab, and those companies are still in their early stages. My definition of business success for Squid Labs would be any (hopefully all!) of the spin-off companies positively impacting both their customers and employees, and through that, becoming wildly profitable, going public, or being acquired and successfully integrated into a larger entity to enable the company to grow faster than it could on its own.

As a graduate student in computer science at MIT earning a $1600/month research stipend, I feel amply qualified to instruct the entire Internet on the art of becoming as rich as Bill Gates (check the Wealth Clock to see how much he has right now).

Dr. Buscaglia, our nation's most prominent lecturer on the subject of love, turns out to be divorced ("it was a very loving divorce").

This is where the rubber meets the road. Traction is something we all lack when we are doing research and ultimate field tests in the quest for our first million. More traction would be great, whatever step in the ladder you are at. So lets give you a little traction before you seize your jets. The following 5 strategies will give you the moves to take you to the first level. -A guy/gal with a proven idea that can be replicated - (An enviable position to be in)
1) Let's get this straight. Million dollar bank balances are numerical in nature. By that I mean a million bucks is not made up of 1 large million dollar bill. Its made up of exactly one million single's. Or to go to the lowest common denominator, its actually numerically made up of One thousand, million (or 1 billion) cents.
Make money fast and easy by thinking of money as numerical and therefore exponential. A dollar that you hold in your hand is the same as $1 million dollars. No difference at all. Its a seed that grows into a tree, then that tree spurs more seeds. (I apologize for the metaphor, but how else can we put this so you understand the nature of the reality as it is)

How to make money blogging
A step by step guide to making money blogging
If I have been asked the question," how on earth do you make money blogging ?" once, I have been asked it a thousand times. There is an awful lot of misinformation out there about blogging and the problem is that the failures outweigh the successes by about a million to one, so for every successful blogger out there, there are 999,999 people telling you that you cannot make money blogging. What they really mean is they cannot make money blogging.The other problem is that a good proportion of the people who make money blogging do it by selling crappy advice to the other 999,999 failures. I am not going to do that. I am not selling a damn thing, although if you take my advice and sign up for the tools I use, I will make a couple of dollars in commissions. All I need is 999,999 people to take my advice and I will be set for life, in which case - anyone want to buy a few blogs?
Just kidding, I would never part with them . But let's go back to the question most people really want to ask - "Can I make money blogging ? and if so - how?"
The answer is yes. I am a professional blogger and have been for several years. I do it with a combination of freelance writing, several niche blogs, article writing and, for the last 18 months, writing a business blog for a luxury property portal. This last one - if you are considering blogging for business - requires you to have already developed a reputation in a particular industry, and being able to demonstrate the necessary skills to make it work. Which includes generating traffic, building relationships and incoming links and actually being a successful blogger.
