SO, A BLONDE, BRUNETTE AND A RED HEAD

THIS TIME I FIGURED I WOULD POST A JOKE!!! I AM STEALING THIS JOKE FROM A GUY I WORK WITH, COREY!! THANKS FOR THE FUNNY JOKE, (AT LEAST I THINK IT'S FUNNY).

SO A BLONDE, BRUNETTE AND A RED HEAD WERE RUNNING FROM THE COPS SO THEY RAN TRHOUGH A FEILD AND RAN INTO THIS BARN. WELL, THEY HERD THE COPS WALK UP TO THE BARN SO THEY RAN INTO THE LOFT AND EACH CRAWLED INTO A SACK. THEN THE COPS CRAWLED UP THE LATTER INTO THE LOFT. THE COPS DECIDED TO KICK EACH BAG TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THEM. SO THE COP KICKED THE FIRST BAG AND THE RED HEAD SAID "MEOW, MEOW" SO HE SAID, "OH WELL IT'S JUST A CAT." THEN THE COP KICKED THE NEXT BAG AND THE BRUNETTE SAID, "WOOF, WOOF". SO THE COP SAID, "OH, WELL, IT'S JUST A DOG". SO THE COP WENT TO THE THIRD BAG AND KICKED IT AND THE BLONDE YELLED OUT, "POTATOES, POTATOES".

HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY JOKE. IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANY GOOD ONES LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL POST IT.

XOXO,

SETTING GOALS

HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT CAN HELP YOU SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM.

1. PICK ONE GOAL- YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IF YOU FOCUS ON THEM ONE AT A TIME. ONCE YOUR GOAL IS ACCOMPLISHED, START ON YOUR NEXT GOAL.
2. START SMALL AND EASY- THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR FIRST GOAL IS TO PICK SOMETHING YOU ALREADY DO. THIS WILL BUILD YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE AND HELP PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR FUTURE GOALS.
3. SIMPLIFY- CHOOSE A SMALL SPECIFIC GOAL, OR BREAK UP A LARGE GOAL INTO SMALLER GOALS. BIG SUCCESS STARTS WITH LITTLE ONES.
4. WRITE IT DOWN- WIRTE YOU GOAL DOWN ON BIG LETTERS AND PLACE IT WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT EVERY DAY.
5. YOU HAVE TO WANT IT- IF YOU DON'T REALLY WANT IT YOU WON'T SUCCEED. PICK GOALS YOU WANT TO ACHEVE OR CHANGE YOU ATTITUDE SO YOU REALLY WANT IT.
6. SCHEDULE TIME- PRIORITIZE= MAKE TIME BUT NOT DOING THINGS THAT HAVE NO VALUE. SAY NO= LEARN TO SAY NO TO PEOPLE WHO ASK YOU FOR YOUR TIME WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY. MAKE THE TIME= YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE GOAL. PICK A TIME YOU WILL WORK ON YOUR GOAL.
7. KEEP TRACK EVERY DAY- IF YOU DON'T KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DAILY PROGRESS YOU WON'T MAKE PROGRESS.
8. BE FIRM YET FLEXABLE- TO ACHEIVE YOUR GOALS YOU HAVE TO BE FIRM WITH YOURSELF. TO BE FLEXABLE MAKE A BACK UP PLAN FOR WHEN YOU RUN ACROSS A DIFFICULT DAY.
9. BE POSITIVE- DOUBTING YOUR THOUGHTS WILL CRUSH YOUR GOALS.
10. PRAY ABOUT IT- CHOSING RIGHTEOUS GOALS IS WHAT THE LORD WANTS US TO DO, SO ASK FOR HELP.

TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS, WE MUST NOT ONLY ACT, BUT ALSO DREAM; NOT ONLY PLAN BUT ALSO BELEIVE.

MOTIVATION

MOTIVATION- IS THE INTERNAL CONDITION THAT ACTIVATES BEHAVIOR AND GIVES DIRECTION; ENERGIZES AND DIRECTS GOAL ORIENTED BEHAVIOR. (WWW.WIKIPEDIA.COM)

WHEN YOU WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF IS A CURCIAL SKILL. MOTIVATION REQUIRES A BALANCE OF COMMUNICATION, STRUCTURE AND INCENTIVES. HERE ARE TWENTY WAYS TO HELP MOTIVATE YOURSELF AND OTHERS EITHER IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE OR IN THE WORK PLACE.

1. CONSEQUENCES- IF YOU USE THREATS IT WILL TURN PEOPLE AGINST YOU. MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES WILL MAKE AN IMPACT. THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE SOMETHING NICELY. IF YOU CAN'T GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER HOW WILL YOU EVER GET WHAT YOU WANT?
2. PLEASURE- PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH PLEASURABLE REWARDS CREATES EAGER AND PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE.
3. PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES- APPEAL TO PEOPLE'S SELFISH NATURE. GIVE THEM A OPPRATUNITY TO EARN MORE FOR THEMSELVES BY EARNING MORE FOR YOU.
4. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS- IF YOU WANT SPECIFIC RESULTS, GIVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. PEOPLE TEND TO WORK BETTER WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED.
5. SHORT AND LONG TERM GOALS- USE BOTH TO GUIDE THE ACTION PROCESS AND CREATE A OVERALL PHILOSOPHY.
6. KINDNESS- GET PEOPLE ON YOUR SIDE AND THEY WILL WANT TO HELP YOU. TICK THEM OFF AND THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SCREW YOU OVER!
7. DEADLINES- MANY PEOPLE ARE MOST PRODUCTIVE BEFORE A BIG DEADLINE. THEY ALSO HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING WHEN A DEADLINE IS LOOMING OVERHEAD.
8. TEAM SPIRIT- CREATE A ENVIORMENT OF CAMARADEIRE. PEOPLE WORK HARDER WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE PART OF A TEAM. THEY DON'T WANT TO LET OTHERS DOWN.
9. RECOGNIZE ACHEVEMENTS- TRY TO MAKE A POINT TO RECOGNIZE ACHEVEMENTS ONE ON ONE AND IN GROUPS, PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.
10. PERSONAL STEAK- THINK ABOUT THE PERSONAL STEAK OF OTHERS. WHAT DO THEY NEED?? BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM PREDOCTIVE AND HAPPY.
11. CONCENTRATE ON OUTCOMES- NO ONE LIKES TO WORK WITHOUT SOMEONE STANDING OVER THEIR SHOULDER. MAKE WHAT YOU WANT VERY CLEAR.
12. TRUST AND RESPECT- GIVE PEOPLE THE TRUST AND RESPECT THEY DESERVE AND THEY WILL RESPOND TO REQUEST MUCH MORE FAVORABLY.
13. CREATE CHALLENGES- PEOPLE LIKE WHEN THEY ARE PROGRESSING TOWARDS A GOAL. GIVE THEM THE OPPRITUNITY TO FACE MORE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AND THEY WILL BE MORE ENTHUSIASTIC.
14. LET PEOPLE BE CREATIVE- DON'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO DO THINGS YOUR WAY. ALLOWING PEOPLE TO CREATE NEW IDEAS CREATES A MORE OPTIMISTIC ENVIORNMENT.
15. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM- OFTEN PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG UNTIL YOU TELL THEM. MOST PEOPLE WANT TO IMPROVE.
16. DEMAND IMPROVEMENT- DON'T LET PEOPLE STAGNATE. EACH TIME SOMEONE ADVANCES RAISE THE BAR.
17. MAKE IT FUN- WORK IS MORE ENJOYABLE WHEN IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WORK. LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN IN A POSITIVE ENVIORNMENT.
18. CREATE OPPRITUNITIES- GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPRITUNITY TO ADVANCE. LET THEM KNOW HARD WORK WILL PAY OFF.
19. COMMUNICATION- KEEP THE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OPEN. BY BEING AWARE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS YOU CAN FIX THEM BEFORE THE PROBLEM GETS BIGGER.
20. MAKE IT STIMULATING- MIX IT UP. DON'T ASK PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME TASK OVER AND OVER.

SLANG FROM THE 90'S

• WHEN SAYING "THAT'S DA BOMB" YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING IS GREAT. HIP HOP ARTIST KRIS KROSS RELEASED A CD IN 1993 USING THE PHRASE "DA BOMB" AS A TITLE.
• IF YOU ARE SAYING "THAT GUY HAS A LOT OF DEAD PRESIDENTS" YOU ARE SAYING THAT GUY HAS A LOT OF MONEY.
• WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAYING "THEY ARE GOING TO BOUNCE" THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE. BON JOVI RELEASED A CD CALLED BOUNCE.
• IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "THEY GANGED THOSE SNEAKERS AT THE MALL" THEN THEY ARE SAYING THEY STOLE THEM.
• IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE ASK "WHO'S YOUR DADDY" THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU
• IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "THAT MOVIE WAS FLY" THEY ARE SAYING THE MOVIE WAS GOOD.
• IF YOU SAY, "YOU HAVE NICE BLING BLING", THEN THAT PERSON HAS SHOWY JEWELRY.
• IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "WHATEVER" THEN THEY DON'T CARE!!!
• IF YOU SAY, "THAT GUYS WENT POSTAL" HE ACTS PHYSCO.
• IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "PHAT" THAT MEANS THAT WAS COOL!
