Stress Management
 1.
When feeling stressed, most people tend to breathe in short,
shallow breaths. When you breathe like this, stale air is not
expelled, oxidation of the tissues is incomplete and muscle
tension frequently results. Check your breathing throughout the
day and before, during and after high pressure situations. If
you find your stomach muscles are knotted and your breathing is
shallow, relax all your muscles and take several deep, slow
breaths. Note how, when you’re relaxed, both your abdomen and
chest expand when you breathe.

In accordance to Maslow's predictions related to the hierarchy of needs model, more and more people are entering an era where personal growth becomes a key factor. Learning, whether it is professionally or personally, means growing. Growth equates satisfaction and self-esteem. Yet, we may be learning more than we realize, or maybe less… Indeed, it is surprising how few people can actually reproduce the overview of their key leaning points of say, the last 6 months. So you might pause for 5 minutes before continuing to read this newsletter to answer that question for yourself.
Abstract  Differences
between men and women with respect to traits associated with the
potential for undertaking entrepreneurial activities were measured to
determine whether gender "gaps" in these traits vary across countries
and cultures. In this seventeen-country study, the male-female gap in
internal locus of control orientation was found to be negatively
correlated with Hofstede's masculinity dimension of culture. The gender
gap in risk-taking propensity was positively correlated with the
individualism dimension of culture and negatively correlated with the
uncertainty avoidance dimension of culture. Gender gaps in
entrepreneurial traits were greatest among advanced economies and least
among the less developed economies.Key words: Gender, culture, entrepreneurial traits, entrepreneurship potential Statistics on women-owned businesses in the U.S. suggest that the "gender gap" in terms of entrepreneurial activities and new venture creation has been closing rapidly. The National Foundation for Women Business Owners reported that, from 1970 to 1992, the proportion of women-owned "C" corporations grew from five percent to more than 33 percent (Starr & Yudkin, 1996). The number of selfemployed men increased by 54% from 1975 to 1990, while the number of self-employed women more than doubled during the same time period (Devine, 1994). This trend is expected to continue. Studies conducted in the late 1990s predicted that..... click here to read more

In
every questionnaire that I fill they want to know my
nationality, where I come from and I often wonder if it is
indication enough to my inner personality. I hesitate sometimes
as I know that the preconceived ideas about my race are going to
effect the judgement of the person reading my profile. Is it
important for whatever project I will be indulging in, to know
the habits of my ancestors so that I can reconfirm the
perception of the other person.
To
be in line with the universal trends, we all are pretending to
overlook the racial aspects but in our minds whenever we see a
person with physical features familiar to a particular race,
(click) our mind has given its verdict; And all the experiences
we have had with that particular race are brought in our active
memory to fulfill the self-defeating prophecy. All this happens
so fast in our mind that even we are not aware of this exploit.

A
World Citizen or Global Player today has learnt to overcome the
prejudices in his/her mind with the certainty that it will be
reflected back to him, positively. How I treat others is how
they will treat me and more importantly How I see myself is how
they will see me. So If I feel that the whole world is out to
get me because of my genome, I will make my fears come true.

and creative in positive ways, that they show signs they will
not perpetuate racism, that they love ethnic diversity, that
they identify with youth all over the planet, that they want to
develop spiritually as they take on the practical tasks of
cleaning up environmental devastation and learning to form
global community. We need to encourage the young Emerging
Leaders in all these matters, to listen to them, empower them,
give them visibility and help them take on the responsibility
for which they are ready. They are our hope and they are the
future.
Over the last month, on
several occasions I took the train from Antwerp to Amsterdam. Like the
Scotsman, the Dutch are notorious penny pinchers. So I wasn't surprised
that 3 out of the 15 passengers in my train wagon didn't have a valid
ticket. Collecting the money that is owed to the Duch railways isn't an
easy job. This is a period during which the Dutch ticket inspectors are
complaining about aggression on board of their trains. A week ago, some
got even hit with a lead pipe. So, often those inspectors work in pairs,
or even with 3 or 4 at the time.
A new study will change how you generate ideas and decide who's really
creative in your company.
Telemarketing
is not as easy as it looks. Telemarketing involves talking on the phone
to someone you do not know and trying to convince them to buy a product,
use a service, or sign up for a special offer. Many times, telemarketers
fail because they are not doing the job properly.
