Will You Add? - You, Too, Can Drive Anyone Crazy
I became an SEO last week by accident. I also created an e-commerce website with affiliate program (again by accident) a few months ago. How did it happen? I don't know but it was about time. I was fifty two and still asking "What do you want to be when you grow up, Rick"? My main website had suddenly become one of the top Netcraft and Alexa rated web sites on the Internet, again by accident. Now I knew I had a work at home business, not just a hobby. But still the idea went through my mind, "What do you want to be when you grow up, Rick?" All my peers were physicians, lawyers, CPA's, plumbers, electricians, scientists, and mid to high level corporate executives. I was sitting at home trying to raise my Google rankings. Was this normal? Had I lost my mind?The first two decades of my adult career were rather "spotty". I went i
53. You disappoint me!
54. I’ve got to vent my feelings…My feelings are my feelings!
55. SO what’s the plan? Who’s responsible? Who’s in charge?
56. There’s no discussing it with you when you’re mind is made up.
57. What do you want me to say about that that would satisfy you?
58. You’ve got to work with me here, and give a little bit back to me.
59. You’ve got to understand where I’m coming from as well!
60. You should think more with your head, and less from your heart!
61. I feel somewhat selfish…but who isn’t?!
62. You need to quit avoiding the topic and take responsibility for your life.
63. I just don’t like talking about serious stuff!
64. I don’t want to hurt their feelings by being too blunt!

Picture Beijing in the early 1990’s – a strong visual presence of communism in the typical courtyard-style housing (12 families housed in a block built around a central yard), grey Mao suits everywhere, almost no neon advertising signs and only occasional cars and mini-vans on the streets. In those days there were two currencies: Yuan and FEC(Foreign Exchange Currency) available only to foreigners, with a lower exchange rate than Yuan (1$=8.9yuan, 1$=7.4FEC). Strong government control, exacerbated by the recent happenings on Tiananmen Square, meant that getting to know Chinese people was almost impossible - they were not allowed to enter hotels and so had no exposure to foreign goods and lifestyle, which were only available in hotels.The mid-90’s brought new perspectives and possibilities to China. Private ownership was booming, bringi
SLIPPERY SPEAK: THAT MAY BE WHAT YOU HEARD, BUT…
“That may be what you heard, I can’t argue with that, but that’s not what I said!” is slippery speak. “BUT I didn’t mean to…!” is another way to turn off a team or family member fast. Chilly, too, is “NOW that’s how it’s always been done around here!” Or, “There you go again pointing the finger of blame at my team!” And what about, “I don’t do IT all the time!”
ME-TYPE TALK
Take a listen and you will hear more “ME”-TYPE TALK excuses below. Have some fun relief…and listen for any of these excuses you hear yourself or others use today in the workplace or home space. Just add these to the “99 Ways to Turn People off Cold (Without Really Trying)” you got a chuckle from previously.

Customer Service and Customer Surveys are a very interesting topic and it is amazing how much you can learn that you may not have even known about your own business by doing surveys. For instance iRobot makes those little vacuum cleaners for the house and they are indeed cool little tricky gadgets and the hottest item in personal tech in a long time.The corporation iRobot had customer surveys to ask people what they liked, disliked and what they could do to improve it. Well, some of these surveys came back with bizarre notations. You see kids were buying them and using them for parts to make robots from robotic competitions?On the section; “How do you rate its sucking power?” which the iRobot team cared very much about people left it blank? Some people said they bought it to entertain their dog or cat while they were

What is your career? Forget about how you define this to others for now, and just think for a bit about how you define your career to yourself. What does it mean to you to have a career? Is it just your job? Is it something you do to make a living? Is it what you do for money? Is it your work?Most people would define a career as more than a job. Above and beyond a job, a career is a long-term pattern of work, usually across multiple jobs. A career implies professional development to build skill over a period of time, where one moves from novice to expert within a particular field. And lastly, I would argue that a career must be consciously chosen; even if others exert influence over you, you must still ultimately choose to become a doctor or a lawyer or an accountant. If you didn’t make a conscious choice at some point, I would then sa

People choose a career in teaching for many different reasons, and if you are thinking of getting into teaching, you will have reasons of your Own. You might be a pushover for kids; you might think that a mind is a terrible thing to waste; you might love the academic life; or you just might not have a burning desire to do anything in particular and teaching seems like the easiest way to go.Every reason for becoming a teacher--with the exception of the last, because you will be in for a rude awakening if you really think teaching is easy--is as worthy as every other, but all of them should be rooted in an unbridled enthusiasm for being allowed to participate in the emotional and intellectual maturing of others.If you know you have that unbridled enthusiasm, there are some suggestions which will get you started on your way:
53. You disappoint me!

66. I suck it up and forget about it.
67. Where are we goin’ from here? Where are we headed? Who’s got the map?
68. I don’t mean to tell you what to do BUT IF I were you…
69. You over-analyze everything and can be your own worst enemy, sometimes!
70. You and I only like the ‘feel good’ emotions, right?!
71. What can I do about it? How should I know what to say or do?
72. I’ve got to be honest with you here: Uncomfortable emotions, well, make me uncomfortable.
73. Did I say that? Or is that what YOU heard me say?!
74. That may be what you heard, I can’t argue with that, but that’s not what I said.
75. IF I don’t do IT…then who’s going to do it, eh?!
76. Why do I always get shoved into the position of being in control of everything?
77. Do you know what I’m saying here? Don’t you get it?
78. What was I supposed to do? Pretend like IT didn’t happen?!
79. I always try to do what’s right, and let my conscious be my guide.
80. Does that make any sense to you?
81. Why do you have to re-visit everything, again and again?!
82. There’s certain things that have to be done, and I don’t see you volunteering!
EMPATHIZER APPLES VS. INSTIGATOR ORANGES
As I previously said, there are many interesting differences that exist between the Empathizer “apples” and the Instigator “oranges.” Neither fruit group is better than the other, and both have their place, strengths and pits.
Any way you slice that apple and orange, you can’t compare apples and oranges. When you begin to “see and understand” that both fruits operate in the world according to a “life view” which is alterable…then you are free to travel to new places in all of your interpersonal and inner-personal relations.
