Stress Management
1. Don’t put up with something that doesn't work right. If your alarm clock, wallet, shoe laces, windshield wipers, whatever are a constant aggravation, get them fixed or get new ones. 2. Allow 15 minutes of extra time to get to appointments. Plan to arrive at an airport one hour before domestic departures. 3. Eliminate (or restrict) the amount of caffeine in your diet.

“Fancy and expensive possesions will never be what I aim for, because in the pursuit of them, I could lose myself and what really matters most – family. There is nothing inherently evil about wanting nice things or even getting them as long as they are your second priority; as things are replaceable and in the end meaningless. Family is what is irreplaceable, limited in time and the most important part of life. Most people do not understand this until it’s too late. The desires and the drive needed to attain things trumps all else, what happiness can really be had in them? In the end things are nothing but empty shells. So this begs the question? What did we really sacrifice in order to gain our material things, for there is surely a price to paid beyond just money? And so often when we finally understand the answer we have lost too much time. And time, unlike things is irreplaceable. And time will steal our happiness from us forever.”
BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply. Be PRESENT.
Do not be past. Do not be future. Be now. Zaufyshan Haseeb and The Intek Family

It takes two to tango…
Maybe you’re the boss, and have a difficult employee. Any
chance they think you’re behaving badly? You might be as nice as cherry
pie, but if you’ve been cast as the wicked witch, you’re going to clash

Test Your Business Etiquette
1. Your
boss, Ms. Alpha, enters the room when you're meeting with an important
client, Mr. Beta. You rise and say "Ms. Alpha, I'd like you to meet Mr.
Beta, our client from San Diego." Is this introduction correct? 2. At a
social function, you meet the CEO of an important corporation. After a

Why do we start living once we know
that the end is near. What keeps us in the stupor like state in the
dream state called Life. The bolt of lightening wakes us out of our
comatose and we realize we have spent our life but haven’t lived life.
All our life we are running after something; what that is, we do not
know. The rat race of the 21st century has us so preoccupied that we
forget what we are striving to achieve and what it is doing to our
physical being as well as the emotions of our loved ones. 
Why do we take life for granted, why do we not enjoy every moment of our
existence, every breath, every step we take. If ever you feel less
privileged ask a terminally ill patient who is gasping for every
additional breath, or a paralyzed person who would give anything for a
few steps unaided. We shun anyone who says “wake up and smell the roses
(or coffee)”. It is only after a wake-up call that we start enjoying the
miracle of life. To quote Einstein “There are only two ways to live your
life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though
everything is a miracle.”
Strive Towards Your Dreams: Don’t
give up your dreams, even if they seem out of reach at the moment.
People don’t die of old age, they die when they have no dreams to
live for.
Evade Materialistic Goals: Keep
materialism in check. When you live for the accumulation of things -
either by purchasing these things or by constantly longing for what
you can't afford - you become a shrinking soul. In the long run you
realize that, material things do not give you happiness.
Carpe Diem: Live Today. Celebrate
the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. Learn from
the past but don't live there. Recognize that the good old days are
never going to return and maybe weren't as good as you recall.
Engage fully in this day. “The past is history, the future is a
mystery and this moment is a gift which is why it is called the
present”
I
would like to share an excerpt of an email from my friend who is a
writer, and in personal life, going through a turbulent time and it has
brought about a realisation that happiness in life is concentrating on
the right things.
Time is still on our side, we have to grab life by its horns and become
masters of our destiny. Time to reflect, what needs to change? what
needs to be straightened? what needs to take precedence?
Space
relationships among males will be much closer than North Americans
and Europeans are familiar with. Egyptians will tend to stand close
and if you move away, this may be seen as a sign of aloofness. On
the other hand, men and women stand farther apart than in the United
States and Europe.
Many
women in Egypt still observe the traditional practice of having
their husband walk slightly ahead of them.
Western-style greetings are used here, but be aware that Ghana
consists of a multitude of ethnic groups, thus each group has its
own unique culture, customs and language.
It’s
never too late for a midlife career change. Before he taught himself how
to paint, *Vincent Van Gogh was an art dealer, schoolmaster, student
priest, and missionary. Indeed, he was well into his thirties
before his artistic talents were recognised. Not too shoddy for a
midlife career change!

boss. Here to help you recognise and deal with a difficult boss, are
