Zippos are not just lighters. Over the years, they have become iconic symbols of a breed of men and a lifestyle. Rolling Stone Keith Richards keeps a Zippo close to his guitar. In countless Hollywood movies, heroes and villains alike use Zippos to light cigarettes, burn ropes and documents, ignite fuses, or find their way through pitch-black caves and moss-covered caves.

Undoubtedly, Zippos are the perfect executive gifts for officemates who lead hip, active lifestyles. They...

A few years back may friend told me about this poetry contest. I’m not much of a writer, but I tried out any way. A couple months later they told me that I was one of the finalist in the competition. They also told me that I had to buy my own hotel, airline ticket and rental car to go to the contest. Well I didn’t have the money for that I had took my poem to a college professor and he said that it was in desperate need of editing, many grammar and spelling errors, and...

Now, let us focus our discussion on how do we cultivate the will power within us? There are totally eight steps that need to be followed in order to generate the will power in human beings.

a.First we need to understand what exactly will power is in working terms. It is the positive and creative function of the mind which impels, propels and enables us to do chosen actions in a definite way, and avoid doing unchosen actions equally in a...

What a controversy it is! Sylvia Browne is for certain one of the most famous psychic celebrities in the public eye in recent times. She looks to be one of those people about whom one can say, "you either love her or you hate her." Sylvia's supporters identify her as very reputable, earnest, and awesome, while her detractors opt for words like despicable, a fraud, and a con artist.

Sylvia Browne's journey began in Missouri in 1936. From her accounts, she was seeing...

Do you have a "three-quarter rule"? What if you get something launched and it's going well enough to exist, but it's not really polished the way it should be. It's at about 75% of what it should be, but your ADD just won't allow you to make it awesome.

Well, what if you hire someone, and their only job is to finish all the stuff that you don't finish? They're probably going to be very happy, because they're learning about all the really cool, creative things that...

Sure.

But, from my experience and from the experience of every person I know who has gone on a low carb diet and successfully lost weight, that weight doesn't stay off unless all but a tiny amount of carbs are always avoided.

A few years ago when low carb diets were incredibly popular, I went on one just like millions of other people. I lost 40 pounds in a little over four months.
But as soon as I started eating a normal amount of carbs again I gained the...

I recently read that only three percent of our population has written any specific goals. The survey went on to state that seventy-five percent have no goals and the rest have general and unwritten goals. This means that there are a lot of us who spend our days reacting to the situations in which life presents to us. By living life in this fashion there becomes a tendency for dreams to remain dreams, instead of becoming a reality. Taking the time to plan and set goals will lead us to...

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve" – W. Clement Stone

Like any learned skill, there are certain basics that must be mastered first. The very bedrock upon which all health and fitness achievement rests are thoughts. Everything man-made in the world or any action you've taken in the past all started with a thought.
