Sadly, many people feel there isn’t much they can do to help themselves, their loved ones or their business associates who are having a tough time. Or, they feel that medication is the only answer.

Reorganize your life

I recently read about this study conducted by Nobel Prize recipient Daniel Kahneman. He believed we would all feel a lot better if we spent our time more wisely. He conducted a diary study with 909 women in Austin, Texas. He asked them to record all the activities they did during the day and then rate how happy they were while doing them. He then had them narrow the list to their least favorite activities. Unfortunately those activities accounted for nearly half of the participants' waking hours. Not surprisingly his advice was fairly simple. He said "Reorganize your life to be in situations that you'd rather continue than stop."

Certain types of health insurance plans, like a PPO Plan, have an annual deductible. I have found that most people don’t really know what an annual deductible is or how it works. The dollar amount of the annual deductible is clearly stated on your policy. In fact, many plans are named based on the amount of the deductible.

Re-Organizational Chart

Most small businesses start with a good idea, an individual with a skill set who turns the idea into a revenue producing business, some investors or personal savings, and patience and perseverance.

Obviously the entire culture of the Far East perceives listening as extremely valuable and is trained to get a lot of information beyond the spoken word: Context, emotion, cultural background or intentions.

This cultural underpinning is subconscious and might impact our readiness to listen effectively.
