Is there really a complete software suite that does wonders?

I have come across numerous great titles (both print and software) but I was skeptical about the existence of complete systems that claim to do what they are meant to do.

However, I got to know this very unique and complete software suite...
                                           
The purpose of the software is to get the end user top search engine rankings, traffic, leads and sales using *secret* document publishing sites...

This has never been done before in the Internet Marketing (IM) space and we are confident this is will be a huge success with the customers. I ponder over folks in the IM industry...

Would you like to tap into the wallets of 18 of the most underutilized and most powerful traffic portals online without spending a single penny on advertising?

If your answer is a yes (same as mine), I know you are excited just like the beta testers of this unique software and the selected few who the vendor has revealed this secret to, right? {Unfortunately, I was not part of the beta testers....}

The Commission Autopilot 2in1 software suite taps into 18 of the biggest and fastest growing viral platforms that are untapped and unsaturated!

The statistics show that this revolutionary new traffic platform that Commission Autopilot capitalizes on is used by Millions of users on a daily basis worldwide.

This is compatible with Mobile Phones, Mobile Applications, even iPads and the Amazon Kindle.

In fact, the latest online consumer statistics report revealed that this brand new traffic and profit generating platform is used by majority of users.

Now with the Commission Autopilot software, you can legally tap into the wallets of millions of mobile phone and internet users with push button simplicity.

The most astonishing part of it all is that? only 1% of the users using these 18 powerful publishing platforms are aware of its money generating potential!

Those folks have cracked the code (you believe it?) and discovered the secret to generate passive sustainable profits through this untapped traffic treasure-trove.

I am talking about a true game changer.

Introducing the Commission Autopilot 2in1 software suite...(as if I'm the creator of this wonderful software)

What is Your Life’s Velocity?

Breadcrumb navigationHome » Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life »
By Gordon Shippey | 3 January 2012

I’ve heard it said that life has two speeds: too fast and too slow. The harried workaholic and the perpetual slacker are both familiar archetypes in our culture.What factors differentiate the tortoises and the hares among us? How can we become more aware of these forces that drive us in order to get get more control of our own internal throttle?

Consider the following exercise: make a list of your closest associates and sort them into three groups. In one group, list those who feel like their life is too full, fast, and sucking them dry. In the second list, see if you can identify those who feel that they are stale, held back, blocked off, or unable to act. Finally, look for the ones who say they’re “on track” or “in a groove” or “clicking along nicely.” Notice that I’m not asking who is busy or slacking, but how they perceive their lives. This difference will become important in a moment.

I don’t know you, or your friends, so I can’t say exactly what you’ll find. But if you do this exercise thoroughly, you’re likely to happen across some trends. First, there’s a good chance you’ll find at least one person occupying each category.

Second, compare how people feel about their lives to your own impression of how much they actually have on their plates. While these two measures might correlate, you’ll probably find some of your peers working very, very hard and not really noticing it, while others feel stressed by what seem to you like modest challenges.

Third, if you’ve known your friends for a while, then you’ll find that ‘life velocity’ tends to persist over time. People with a “Type A” personality, who feel pressured and driven, tend to stay that way. The same can be said for those who feel chronically shut down. As a therapist, both these tendencies come up frequently, with the hares wishing for a moment’s peace and the tortoises trying to get it in gear.

The ugly truth is that while people want to move from pressured or underachieving towards some vision of balance, most run into heavy resistance and fall back on old tendencies. However there are techniques to adjust both the real and perceived speed of one’s life.

For those who wish to do more and do it faster (and there are plenty of those as we approach January 1) there are a few tried-and-true methods for stepping on the gas.

The first step, as for most any change, is awareness. It is important to identify if the dissatisfaction is with your perception of progress or your actual output. Knowing how you set your own personal standards is essential. Many find that they’ve set up the ‘game’ of their life in a way that makes it physically impossible to win. Sometimes all that is needed is to recalibrate the speedometer to reveal the actual progress that had been going on all along.

Another way that perception can slow life down is found in procrastination. Much has been written on this topic, but by far the biggest take home message is that procrastination is largely a failure of estimation. People who procrastinate frequently underestimate how much time and energy a task will take and so fail to give it the necessary space in their lives.

For others, perception is not the problem. When it comes to speeding up a life, gaining awareness of the “yes or no” questions in life is essential. From one perspective, almost every decision we make involves saying “yes” to what we say we most value. Of course we don’t often consciously say “no” to our highest values, but rather we say “yes” to something else. For instance, building a good relationship means saying “yes” to higher-quality people while refusing to invest time and attention on suitors who are not good matches.

For the harried, “type A” personalities, a separate toolkit is more appropriate. Once again, it is important to discriminate between the feeling of being run ragged versus an actual lifestyle that doesn’t afford adequate rest and recovery. Poor calibration can result from unexamined expectations, typically in the form of statements that begin “I must always…” or “I can never…”, as in “I must always keep my home spotless,” or “I can never take a day off from work unless I’m deathly ill.” Unexamined directives like these can produce pressure that leads to more anxiety than performance.

I am always inspired by the simple fact that every person is given the same amount of time each week: 168 hours. What we choose to do with those hours makes the difference between frustration and fulfillment and the difference between productivity and running in place. If you seem to have to be everywhere all at once, it pays to figure out what you actually do with these 168 hours. For the chronically over-scheduled and over-taxed, it’s good to recognize the hard limits on how much time we can dedicate to any endeavor. Once you know “where the day goes,” you can start to weigh alternatives. Is everything you’re doing truly essential? Can you delegate any of it? It’s easier to sacrifice time devoted to a less-important goal when the more-important goal is right there in front of you.

If “yes” is the answer that steps on the gas, then “no” is the answer that applies the brakes on your life. Being able to say “no” to something that just isn’t quite important enough allows you to begin sculpting your time, and thus your life, to make room for all that is most important, and perhaps with even a little time left over to loaf on a Sunday afternoon!

Toward a World Without Conflict

Breadcrumb navigationHome » Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life »
By Dr George Simon, PhD | 4 January 2012

Whether it’s a new myth, new metaphor, or new science, we need it: something that can help bind and direct the peacemakers among us. Harvard University’s new International Negotiation Program represents one move toward a unifying body of thought that could serve this role.

Although the end of the Second World War ushered in a fairly lengthy time of relative peace and prosperity, most of our history has been dominated by conflict. And the reasons for conflict are many. But there are some brave and visionary folks who are seeking to use what we know about the psychology of conflict as well as the emerging strategies of conflict resolution to help usher in an age of freedom from the kinds of strife humankind has known for all too long.

Harvard University and its affiliated institutions have developed the International Negotiation Program. Based on the assumption that all conflict has its roots in both values-driven emotion and the innate striving for identity and recognition, the program has assembled a multi-disciplinary team of educators, researchers, psychologists, diplomats, and others to “enhance international security and individual well-being through theory-building and education on the emotional and identity-based dimensions of conflict and negotiation.” Recognizing that a new, sophisticated, and theoretically-sound psychology of conflict is essential to success in this endeavor, the program’s primary stated goal is to “work to expand the fields of both [conflict] psychology and conflict management.” The program is dedicated to doing much more than just coming up with poetic paradigms of understanding. It seeks to field-test the strategies it devises and to share information about the outcomes in the hope that through experience, sharing, and education, reliable conflict prevention, management, and resolution methods can be secured.

I’m one of those optimists and idealists who believes that despite all the economic, political, and social turmoil of late, humankind is on the precipice of grand new age. But birthing new life always involves considerable pain and suffering. We seem to be in the midst of that suffering now, and it’s likely to get even worse before it gets better. We have to keep in mind, as I mention in my book Character Disturbance [Amazon-US | Amazon-UK], that this thing we call ‘civilization’ is a recent and relatively brief page in the book of human history. We still have a lot of learning and growing to do. And the most challenging frontier before us is not the understanding of sub-atomic particles or travel to distant stars but rather a full understanding and conquest of ourselves. Really coming to terms with our nature — the things that drive us, the passions that motivate us, and most especially, the blindness that could destroy us — that’s the real challenge. As the comic character “Pogo” was wont to say: “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”

Hearts have to change one person at a time. And changing hearts is a most daunting task. But those who undertake the challenge are a most noble lot. Perhaps that’s why the prophet from Nazareth cast those who would seek and make peace as “blessed.”

What humankind needs more than anything else at this time is a fresh new metaphor or “myth” that can help bind and direct those who would be the peacemakers among us. Many of our present belief systems are out-of-date or are lacking in genuineness and substance. And even some of our most noble and enduring ones have become corrupted to the point that they are no longer as life-enriching as they once were. Sadly, a few have even proven to be more destructive than helpful. It’s sobering to know that most conflicts and wars have been fought over the ideologies and philosophies that have dominated various cultures for centuries. So, it’s clear that we need a fresh and more unifying myth for the coming age. But such a myth is not likely to come about as the result of some charismatic sage laying down new precepts to a group of impassioned followers. Rather, it’s more likely to emerge slowly and steadily over time as those committed to understanding the origins of human strife and fostering harmony between races, cultures, and tribes learn the lessons their endeavors will inevitably teach us. I have dedicated myself to using my remaining time on this earth in the service of the realization of such a myth.

So, to the inspired folks at Harvard and their ambitious project, to the peace-seekers across the globe, and to all those humble souls who recognize the supreme value of reckoning with their own hearts, may many blessings be upon you. And here’s hoping that the new year — despite the conflicts likely to accompany it — brings us yet another step closer to the age we have all sought since the dawn of our awareness.
