"When raised in a loving family with mature parents, you grow in their warm caring ways. Parents model their own background. You see appropriate behavior for handling lifes situations. Without this, you may be negligent in the basic elements of living skills. This means that if you lack a loving background for growing up, you may be underdeveloped in your emotional maturity as well. Parents can only model their own emotional development and behaviors from their own family background. Most people fall somewhere in the middle of this spectrum."

I was talking to a gentleman the other night and the subject of women came up. He was complaining about how finding a good woman in this town is very difficult.

They would go to shows, expensive dinners, lounges for drinks, etc. The night would end with little hugs, a peck on the cheek, and a lot of times they wouldnt even return his calls. What is going on here? Did he do something wrong? The answer is YES. He made the biggest mistake most men make with women...

Making and Taking Advantage of Opportunities
Published:02/22/2011 07:25pm
In my book, Promotions Are Not Served At The Deli Counter, I talk about not only taking advantage of opportunities, but also the importance of making your own opportunities. Instead of waiting for opportunity to knock on your door, I wrote, you could always drive over to opportunities' house instead. This is true even if the car is driven by your mother on route to a pop concert.This was the case for 15 year-old Sam Hollyman, who attended a Michael Bubl concert in Birmingham, England with his mom, Paula. During the show, Paula marched up to the stage and told Bubl...

When Frederick Soddy, winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, put his thoughts on wealth creation to paper, he was widely dismissed as a hack and, to the detriment of society at the time, largely ignored.Wealth creation is a fascinating subject, mostly because it is what, consciously or unconsciously, everyone is pursuing, yet very few understand the principles behind it. Soddys definition of wealth creation is simple and elegant. True wealth creation, in Soddys explanation, involves discovery, natural energy and human diligence. It means producing goods or services that add value to our fellow humans lives such that they are...

Author: Farrokh K. Langdana, Ph.D. Director of the Executive MBA program, Rutgers Business SchoolWe in this country have our backs against the wall, and its a drive for innovation among our students that will keep us going, that will keep us alive. Obamas macroeconomic plan is a cul-de-sac, a dead end and not going anywhere more government spending is not going to help. You cant lower the interest rates anymore, so we are essentially maxed out. The whole Keynesian model is tired, and we not about to cut taxes and deregulate. From a macroeconomic perspective, once again...

Cooking Food Well Means Everything and Nothing
Published:02/22/2011 02:25pm
Cooking food well is but another of lifes equal but opposite gravitational pulls. As with so much in life, cooking well means everything and nothing. Cooking well holds no allegiance to borders or boundaries and is a language unto itself. A well cooked meal can be deftly managed or thuggishly muscled, either path resulting in an original offering of scrumptiousness. If you can cook well, folks from Nebraska to Norway might be singing your praises, and it doesnt matter if you are a one-trick-meat-sauce-pony or the thickly accented expert relegated to huckstering pans. From the beginning there has been one...

Catholic Disparity – Liberal vs. Conservative

Catholic Disparity Liberal vs. Conservative The differences in ideology have been around for quite some time. This is nothing new. What is quite puzzling are the opposing views on todays issues of morality among those who consider themselves of the Roman Catholic Faith. Two issues for example, where Catholics will disagree are same sex marriage and abortion. What do Sean Hannity and Nancy Pelosi have in common? They are both Catholic. Thats where the similarity ends. Now I know this is an extreme example, but why? If both believe that the Catholic...
