Yoyo Concept Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Ketan Arora) — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 08:03:00 +0000

This has to be one of the most unique mobile phone design concepts in ages. Forget the sliders, clamshells, and candybar phones - the Yoyo form factor wants to make its way into your hands.

The name of the phone comes from its shape; it looks like a yoyo. It even allows you to wrap your headphone wires around the inner housing of the handset - just like you'd do with the string of a real yoyo.

The Yoyo phone was designed for NEC by US designer Shaik Ridzwan. Right now it's just a concept, but who knows, maybe one day they'll actually manufacture it.

Balance your life - Define What you want?

noreply@blogger.com (Ketan Arora) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 19:00:00 +0000

Look at the image above and follow the 5 steps mentioned there.....this will help you balance your life.....

Time Management - How to make the most of your time?

noreply@blogger.com (Ketan Arora) — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:07:00 +0000

TIME MANAGEMENT - HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME?

So how do you do it? How do you find the time - when you're already so busy with everything else that's going on in your life?

Here's a hint: it's all about how you SET YOUR GOALS.

The #1 reason people fail when they try to start a business is because they have no clear direction. They chase one idea after another with no clear path to success, and they never see anything through to completion.

(Sound familiar?)

But you'll NEVER achieve any level of success if you spend your time going off in all directions, chasing every single opportunity that comes your way.

On the other hand... if you set measurable goals with specific timelines for yourself - as well as carefully thought-out action plans to help you hit those goals -- you'll start seeing results right away. And you'll achieve success faster than you would have thought possible.

So here it is: recipe for success, distilled into six simple steps.

Step #1: Set your "Ultimate 3-5 Year Goals"

Ask yourself this: In 3-5 years, what do you want your life to look like? What do you want your finances to look like? What do you want your business to look like?

Think big -- but stay within reason! Rome wasn't built in a day... or in five years, for that matter.

Something else to remember: Your goals need to be measurable.

For example, rather than setting a goal like, "I want to be rich!" -- come up with an actual dollar / rupee value. How much money do you want your business to be making in 3-5 years' time? THAT'S the goal you should be aiming for.

Step #2: Set your "Annual Goals"

Now that we know where we want to be in the 3-5 years, we need to break it down into more manageable objectives. Let's take a look at what you want to achieve in the upcoming year.

Ask yourself: "What do I need to accomplish in the next 365 days in order to achieve my ultimate 3-5 year goals?"

Write down as many goals as possible. Chances are, you'll come up with a big list! But when you're done, you need to pare it that list down to the top 5 "must-do" items.

What are the top 5 things you absolutely MUST do in order to achieve your ultimate goals? Once you've answered this question, you'll have your top five goals for the year.

Step #3: Set your "Quarterly Goals"

Those yearly goals seem pretty big, don't they? In order to achieve them, you've got to break them down into more realistic milestones: your quarterly goals.

This is something you should do every three months -- so if you're working on a regular calendar year, you should be setting new quarterly goals for yourself every January, April, July, and October.

At the beginning of each quarter, take a step back and look at how well you managed to reach your last quarterly goals. Based on that, decide what you need to do during the next three months to keep moving toward those annual goals.

Remember: Keep your goals specific and measurable!

Step #4 - Set your "Monthly Goals"

Are you starting to see a pattern yet? :-)

Now you need to determine the top 5 goals you have to achieve every month in order to hit your quarterly goals.

But do you stop here? Nope!

Step #5 - Set your "Weekly Goals"

Ask yourself: What are the top things that have to happen this week in order for you to hit those monthly goals?

Don't limit yourself to five weekly goals. Sometimes you'll have fewer than five -- sometimes you'll have more. When I set my own weekly goals, I find there are numerous small tasks that need to be accomplished -- or just a couple of big ones. But at the start of each week, I always make sure I know what tasks are most important.

Wait -- you're still not done!

Step #6 - Set your "Daily Goals"

Each morning -- before you even check your email -- you need to create a list of things that have to happen before you go to sleep that night.

Once again, these tasks should be driving you toward your weekly goals.

It doesn't matter if you have only an hour a day to spend on your business. By setting goals and focusing on the really important things you need to achieve, you'll be shocked at how much you can get accomplished in a really short period of time.

But the fact remains: you still need to MAKE THE TIME.

Even if you're able to spend only two hours a week on building or growing your business, it's better than nothing!

Once you have all your goals down on paper, don't file them away in your desk somewhere! Make sure you can see them in a number of different places.

Tack them to the wall of your office. Put them on your fridge... beside your TV... even beside your toilet!

You need that constant reminder.

Remember: the only person holding you accountable for hitting those goals is YOU.

So turn off your email, shut out all distraction, throw procrastination out the window, and start setting those goals NOW.

Lets talk about Health and Nutrition today

noreply@blogger.com (Ketan Arora) — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 10:18:00 +0000

What do we mean by Optimal Health?

Optimal health does not mean perfect health. Optimal health means adapting known inherited health risks and your current lifestyle to make the personal choices necessary to live your life as healthy as possible.

Nutrition & Supplementation – Do you eat a balanced diet, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins? Do you know which supplements are recommended for your type of diet?
Lifestyle – Have you adopted healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercising? Do you smoke?
Rest & Relaxation – Do you get sufficient sleep on a regular basis? Do you run to the nearest sweet shop when you are stressed? Or, have you learned relaxation techniques?
Genetics – Does high blood pressure or cancer run in your family?

While you cannot change your genetic makeup, you can modify your lifestyle in your quest for optimal health.

Adopt a healthier diet.
Quit smoking.
Increase your exercise.
Maintain a proper weight.
See your health care professional regularly.

Nutrition and the pursuit of optimal health are at the heart of the NUTRILITE™ brand.

How Nutrients Work

Nutrients from food are absorbed by the body as it passes through the digestive system:

Nutrients are essential for cell growth, maintenance and repair.
Nutrients provide energy to enable your body to function efficiently.
Nutrients, along with fiber and water, are essential to your good health.

Although nutrients can work alone, each depends upon the others to be the most effective. The main nutrients are the macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats – and the micronutrients, vitamins and minerals.

What Macronutrients Do

Macronutrients Are Essential for Good Health:

They assist in breaking down carbohydrates and fats, which provide energy to the body.
They assist in the absorption of protein, which provides the building blocks necessary for cell growth and repair.

What Micronutrients Do

Vitamins and minerals do not in themselves provide energy, but macronutrients depend on them to regulate the release of energy from food.

Vitamins are organic substances.
They activate enzymes, which are proteins that act as catalysts to speed up biological reactions that take place in your body.
Your body produces a certain amount of vitamins D and K, but all other vitamins come from your diet or supplementation.

Minerals are inorganic substances that originate from rocks and ores and enter the food chain through the soil.

We get minerals either by eating plants grown on mineral-rich soil or by eating animals that have fed on these plants.
Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are the major constituents of bone.
Sodium and potassium control your body's water balance.
Other minerals (chromium, iron, and magnesium) are needed for various chemical processes to take place in the body.
Omega Fatty Acids
Phytonutrients, also referred to as phytochemicals, are compounds that act as a natural defense system in plants, and that also have a beneficial effect on human health.

Optimal Health: The Heart of the NUTRILITE™ Brand

NUTRILITE™ is the world's leading* brand of vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements.

The NUTRILITE™ brand offers you and your family a complete range of supplements and other products designed to address the nutritional needs of anyone at any life stage.

Optimal health is at the heart of the NUTRILITE brand. For a personalized approach to your good health, choose the best dietary, lifestyle, rest and relaxation habits for you – then select supplementation products to support your healthy life.

Success Principles

noreply@blogger.com (Ketan Arora) — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 12:32:00 +0000

Love many things
You proportionally increase your chances for happiness by increasing the number of things that you love doing. Love many things and your happiness will escalate into an enthusiasm for life, which will have a positive effect on you and those around you. Seek and enjoy those things that give your life value and purpose. To love many things, you must be adventurous. A boring life is your own fault. Try new things. Be excited and passionate about life. Feel good. You must be able to see beauty in the grand scheme of things as well as in details. Discover: music, art, books, food, T’ai Chi, karate, theater, travel, movies, sunsets, exercise, friends, gardens and the Internet. Open your mind. Find your preferences. Make your home, office and dojo beautiful places to love. Keep going … Remember how lucky you are to have so many interests. Happiness may not be a result of financial success. Happiness is a result of loving many things and appreciating what you already have.

Appreciate your appeal
Following the Action Principles makes you an appealing, charismatic person. Students will want to learn from you, bosses to promote you, banks to lend you money and customers to buy your products or services. Your allure will be your genuine selflessness in wanting to help them to achieve their objective, whether it is to become a black belt or buy a car. By not trying to be a salesperson, but a true customer service person, you will make more sales. Charisma isn’t painted on the outside. It comes from the inside. Be honest. Be yourself. Adopt this attitude and you will be liked by many — immediately.

Act as you feel...
When you feel in the mood to do something, this is the best time to do it.
If you feel happy, smile.
If you feel daring, act.
If you receive good service, compliment.
If you feel energetic, do something positive.
If you know a good joke, tell it.
If you feel generous, give.
If you are interested in becoming wealthy, save and invest.
If someone needs help, lend them your strong hands or soft voice.
If you give your word, keep it.
If you want to make things better, vote.

Maintain your presence
Your contented presence shows an air of simple elegance and refinement in attitude and form. You appear physically, emotionally and spiritually strong, yet you seem to have even greater strength in reserve. You are poised, coordinated and balanced. You command with effortless, assured confidence. Be calm. Be deliberate. Feel assured and alert. Look good. Feel good. Keep your head up and your shoulders back. Keep your eyes forward. Breathe deeply. Speak with a soft voice in a thoughtful manner. Rarely interrupt. Be brief. Walk with a purpose. Don’t rush. Have a firm handshake. Your eyes are friendly. Your demeanor is respectful. Let your smile begin in your mind. You exhibit both style and class. First impressions are lasting.The things you want drawn to you will come as a result of your good nature and determined persistence. Pause and savor the moment. Begin your work.

Forget Everybody
Not everybody wants to do business with you. Not everybody wants to be your friend. Not everybody wants world peace. Not everybody wants to work hard. Not everybody wants to be president. Not everybody is smart enough to be a rocket scientist. Not everybody is fast enough to run in the Olympics. Who is helped by pretending otherwise? Trying to accommodate everybody is a trap. It can’t be done. Be yourself. People know their own problems better than you do. Not everybody will listen to reason or even act in his or her own best interest. You can.

Stay Centered
In the battles of life, you will take punches. Some may hurt. This too will pass. You are the center of your universe. Take care of your own needs first. Then go to your family, then to friends, neighbors and employees. Move on to the larger communities. Don’t use saving the world as an excuse to forget your family. Don’t allow others to rush or pressure you to act before you can decide what is right. The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Stand with your knees slightly bent. Head up. Breathe deeply from your belly. You are a very small part of the grand scheme of things. You are one with the universe. You are everything and nothing. Remain calm, balanced and aware. A powerful way to remain centered is thru the practices of meditation.

Embody Integrity
As a follower of the Action Principles, you are proud, strong, friendly, generous and successful. Many will seek your counsel. People will depend on you. Have faith and a belief in your cause. Know what you will fight for and what you won’t. Do not compromise what is right. Stick to your convictions and principles as you allow your ethical values to direct your decision-making. Integrity goes beyond self-interest to moral courage. Lying only leads to more lying.Keep your promises. Fulfill your commitments. People want to know where you stand and for what you stand. People respect honesty and sincerity, but hate hypocrisy. Be consistent. Speak in clear precise facts. Be sure your words match your deeds. Do what you say and your credibility builds. You cannot speak stronger words than, “I give you my word.”

Be the Warrior
The warrior is tough in loyalty, intensity, determination, bearing, initiative, endurance, courage and strength of will. The warrior is soft in calmness, self-confidence and compassion. The warrior is frequently called upon to step forward when most gladly step back. Warriors exist on the battlefield and in daily life. People may react to you rudely, selfishly and with malice. Be courteous anyway. Those you help may whine and offer no thanks. Help them anyway. Your honest words may be challenged and ridiculed. Speak anyway. Success may involve many mistakes and disappointments. Succeed anyway. Your donations may seem too small to matter. Give anyway. A warrior is a master, ever prepared to improve and to be of service to others.

Be Decisive

You don’t have to wait for permission to do the right thing. Be decisive. Take the initiative. Get the facts. Do it now. If you don’t have time to send a letter to a sick friend, send a card, a fax or an e-mail. If you can’t visit your mother, call her. If you see a gift that a friend would love, buy it for him or her. If you can’t go to the gym or dojo for ninety minutes, go for forty minutes.Avoid not doing things because you can’t get them done exactly as you’d originally planned. Be bold and get in the habit of doing something. Walk down one block. Pay three bills. Spend fifteen minutes with your children’s homework. Give five dollars to charity. Small efforts done continually can yield significant, positive results. Do it now while it’s on your mind. You don’t have to be perfect to live the Action Principles. Just be a person of action. You must have more than good intentions to succeed. You must act. Get it done. Start it now.

Action is the key word!
