untitled The Power of the Apology Column by Janine Popick, Inc.com "Women in Business" May 21, 2009 I’ve worked for a bunch of companies spanning from New York to the Bay Area, both large and small. I have noticed in all of these companies that women apologize in our everyday language--me included. I’ve had times where a woman will walk into my office with a pre-scheduled meeting, and sheepishly say, "Sorry, is now still a good time?" I cannot remember a single time when I had a scheduled meeting with a guy who did that. In certain meetings, I have even found myself starting sentences like, "Sorry if we’ve covered this and I can’t remember…" or "Apologies, if I don’t understand. If it’s so easy for women to spew "sorrys" all day long, why can it be SO tough for men to apologize? Sometimes all anyone wants is an apology. Think about when you’re in a car on the freeway and someone cuts you off. Is there no middle ground? With all of these moving parts, there is always the possibility of something going awry.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

The 3 Steps to Understanding Other People's Actions - StumbleUpon It’s been said that actions speak louder than words. For the most part this is true. But if you don’t understand what those actions mean, it doesn’t make a difference either way. The good news is that understanding the actions of other people doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, I’ve condensed it down to just three steps that have worked really well for me. The First Big Realization My first big discovery in understanding people’s actions originated at a party in college. However, to my surprise the guy came up to me and asked me if I thought she was interested in him. But soon I realized that I had been in this situation before too. The reason it is harder to understand is because when you are in the situation, you process everything through your own ego and perceptions. What’s amazing about this discovery to me is how often this actually occurs. You have to let go of this filtering system. So keeping this rule in mind, here are the three steps. 1. 2. 3. Understanding Actions

How to (Not) Give a Fuck Like a Zen Master About three months ago, I whimsically typed the above tweet and hurtled it out into the twittersphere for whomever’s wandering eyes might happen upon it. The tweet was basically a passing thought, a random splash from my ceaseless stream of consciousness. But I continued to reflect upon it. Masticated it. And I came to see it as a particularly concise, memorable summary of many of the transformative perspectives I’ve gained through studying Zen and Taoism. On one hand, Zen and Taoism are often popularly summarized as Philosophies of Giving Zero Fucks. No joke: There is actually a great Taoism website called HowToNotGiveAFuck.com. And one time on the Internet I stumbled upon this quote, which is supposedly from the philosopher and countercultural hero, Robert Anton Wilson: “After years of vehement and passionate study of the ideograms of the Tao Te Ching, I think I have summarized it all into a couple of words . . .Fuck it.And if you can’t fuck it, ignore it. “Let life happen to you.

10 Ways To Be Happy, On Purpose | PickTheBrain | Motivation and Self Improvement - StumbleUpon “He who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness” ~Chinese Proverb I was at a Women’s Leadership Conference about a year ago and had an “ah-ha moment”. We were all introducing ourselves and asked to share a few things to help with the process. One question left me baffled and ultimately changed my life; “What do you do to make yourself happy?”. At the time I honestly didn’t know. It’s not been an easy road, but it’s been the most fulfilling adventure I’ve ever been on and I feel that I should now share what I’ve learned with others. 1. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. How many times have we heard “no one will love you until you learn to love yourself” or “nobody knows you the way you do”? So get to know the right-now-real you, both the good and the bad, and own it. The good news is that if you don’t like certain aspects of yourself right now, you have it in your control to change that. 2. “Open your eyes and look within. “You have brains in your head. 3. 4. 5. 6.

How to Hack Your Mind: Using Biofeedback to Increase Resilience Two important skills for any man, and especially any would-be sheepdog are 1) managing stress 2) and remaining resilient in the face of extreme adversity. In our post about managing stress arousal for optimal performance, we broke down what happens to the body and mind as it deals with increasing levels of stress. Basically, as stress levels rise, our mental and physical performance deteriorates. During my research about developing a sheepdog mentality, I kept coming across reports on how the U.S. military is spending tens of millions of dollars each year researching the vital question of how to make soldiers more resilient. The research has two goals. In 2008 the U.S. Besides giving soldiers basic cognitive therapy tools they can use to manage stress, the Department of Defense has also experimented with technology that allows soldiers to monitor their physiological response to it. The real-time monitoring of one’s physiological responses is called biofeedback. What is Biofeedback?
