I Advice - Famous Swedes Part 1
"Without the chance to meaningfully participate in steering one’s own destiny, without the opportunity to gain the sincere respect of one’s own peers, without an honest stake in making the community more successful through one’s own work and ideas, employability can quickly decay into generic training programs or bogus choices..." --"Beyond Empowerment: Building a Company of Citizens" by Brook Manville, Josiah Ober, page 52, Harvard Business Review January 2003.Today, businesses are dealing with massive change issues spearheaded by new strategic initiatives around technology. So much is possible! We can demographically get into our customer’s heads, craft alliances that accentuate our creativity and negotiating skills, ask employees to deliver projects and new products in high-speed time frames, target audiences we never were able to reach before. But we’re in more turmoil now than we’ve ever been.Because
Remember that big hug she gave you when you got her fresh flowers? It doesn’t have to only happen on Valentine’s Day. Everybody knows that women love to get them, so why is it that men rarely send flowers?When men buy flowers they often find it an intimidating experience. They may not know what type of flower to buy. Or if each color has a hidden meaning. Or how much to spend on the flowers. Also, men are notoriously lazy and hate actually taking the time to go to the flower store. According to the American Floral Endowment Consumer Tracking Study women buy 67% of all fresh flowers.The good news is that it’s now easier than ever to send flowers. One can buy flowers online that are fresh from the growers and don’t cost much – all without the effort of going to the store. Since online florists often ship FedEx, you don’t even have to worry about the flower delivery. You can choose from fresh roses, lilies,
Hasselblad, Victor (1906 – 1978): Camera designer
You will probably know the product better than the man, since Hasselblad cameras are highly respected in the photographic world for their image quality, durability and reliability - the famous Apollo 11 pictures from the moon were taken with modified Hasselblad cameras. The original company was formed in Gothenburg in 1841 by Victor’s great grandfather as a general import/export agency, and among the products it imported were supplies for the new field of photography.
Camera production only started during the Second World War, when Victor Hasselblad was asked to copy an aerial reconnaissance camera ‘salvaged’ from a German military aircraft that had crashed in Sweden. Hasselblad succeeded in designing and making an improved version, which he sold in quantity to the Swedish
You're about to get married. There are still a million things to do (or so it feels!) and you're receiving advice from all directions. Except for the one direction you could actually do with a bit of input from – your husband-to-be.It's frustrating, but it's not unusual. I think that many men genuinely think they are doing us a favour by staying well out of it and leaving all the details up to us. Just so we can have the wedding we want. However, it can feel as if they are not at all bothered, and it's their wedding too.Perhaps it is one of those traditional things still firmly stuck in our dear partner's brains: man likes woman, man proposes to woman, woman and family arrange the wedding, man shows up. Whatever it is, it is unlikely that we will ever get our men as excited about the perfect colour of napkins as we are, nor are they likely to even see why this could be important.What we can do, is t

As a self-publisher, you become a business person. Your book is your product. Your readers are your customers. When I first made my career change, I didn’t think I had any business savvy. After all, I had been in a social service agency. I did court reports, visited children and parents, and handled emergencies. I was not a welfare worker, so I didn’t deal with money. True enough, I did budgets and clothing orders, but overall, headquarters handled the money.My commerce was in the arena of human suffering, addictions, and family dysfunctions. Back in 1998, I went to a writer’s conference with a business woman, and I spent most of my time delivering poems and looking at the other exhibits rather than manning my own booth. Later, I said to my older son, (who has his own business), "I guess I’m not about business."“Yes, you are about business. Don’t say that." He was referring to my ability over the years, as

Wow, I have been online for awhile now and think I have seen just about every scheme and scam known to man, but I am sure there are a few more.It seems there is no shortage of multi-level matrixes and free affiliate programs and gifting programs. It is interesting to me how these programs promise so much money and also how they focus on the get-rich-quick theme.I am a firm believer that when you are looking to see what works, you have to look at those who are making money, who are successful, and see what they do. Not necessarily, what they say they do, but what they really do.I have seen two things online that seem to make money, when they are applied correctly. 1) A person writes an ebook about something he (or she) has specialized information about and others might want, and promotes it to the “right crowd” and 2) A person gets good at promoting other people’s products online.Obviously

Life is not always how we want it to be. There are many ups and downs. Sometimes we pursue career options, which are different from those, which we had imagined, or those that our parents would like us to be.In nearly 90% of the cases, most people take up a profession by accident. That's probably the first job that they landed up with. Then they decided to carry on in the job or the career until they retire or die.It's not always that they liked the job or the career path that they had chosen. However the fear of the unknown kept them from changing over. Better still, it was the easiest thing to do. Change of a profession was uncertainness and the present job provided security if not any thing else.Things are certainly changed now. Many people are opting for careers, which might have seen unreasonable earlier. Earlier they would have chosen their family professions because simply that was the way ou
Linnaeus, Carl (1707-1778): Botanist
The name of Carl Linnaeus, often called the father of taxonomy, may not be familiar unless you are a botanist, but the system he developed for ranking, classifying and naming organisms (taxonomy) is still in wide use today, albeit greatly modified.
Linnaeus’ method grouped classes of organisms (genera) into orders, orders into classes, and classes into kingdoms. Thus the king
