Stop Negativity – The 10 Day Challenge With Anthony Robbins
This challenge is taken from Anthony’s book “Awaken the Giant Within” as it is such a tomb 539 pages I have selected parts to review. I, like millions of others am a great fan of Anthony Robbins. I will tell you about the challenge, but there are also many other benefits from reading the book; It is a practical work-book.
Basically these are the rules of the challenge:
No dwelling on negative thoughts for 10 consecutive days.
When a negative thought appears, immediately replace it with a positive one.
Change the negative state. (For ways to do this, refer to the book)
for the next 10 days focus on solutions to your problems, not the problems.
If you allow yourself to indulge in a negative thought and don’t quickly replace it you must start again for another 10 consecutive days.
I consider myself a positive person but just lately I … Read more
Western Ideas of Work and Leisure
In “The Western Idea of Work and Leisure: Traditions, Transformations, and the Future,” Charles Sylvester highlights the changing conception of work and leisure by pointing up the notions of Plato and Aristotle in Classical Greek thought, the Judeo Christian view, and the views of Locke and Marx. A general objection might be made against all of these views in that they present an absolutist interpretation of work or leisure based on justifying the conditions that exist in the present and advocating that this is what the work-leisure distinction should be. These views don’t recognize the relativist position that might be obtained through the anthropological study of the role of leisure in other societies with different social structures or cultures.
For example, both Plato and Aristotle reflect a view that supports the value of the leisure engaged in by members of the upper aristocracy in a hierarchical society, where the work … Read more

Popular Lionel Model Train Sets From 1946
In 1946 Lionel produced an array of outfits similar to those in their prewar catalogs. Among these offerings were 23 sets. This broad spectrum of sets allowed Lionel to offer outfits at several prices, with the least expensive outfit retailing for only $24.95, while the deluxe outfit was $85.00.
1946 was the debut year of many new designs, unlike the previous year which only rehashed previously produced products. New motive power included the O-Gauge 726 Berkshire, produced by installing a 2-8-4 mechanism in a boiler based on the prewar 226E, and the all-new 6-8-6 Pennsylvania turbine. The latter was offered in O-Gauge outfits as catalog number 671, while those included in O27 outfits were numbered 2020. To the lower end of the line was a streamlined 2-6-4 with the catalog number of 221.
New freight cars were introduced as well. The 2411 “big inch” flatcar shared its die-cast frame with … Read more
Voice Training Gives You Control Over Your Voice, Your Speed, and Your Words
It never ceases to amaze me how many people discover this marvelous control over their voice and their words when they learn how to use their chest cavity as their primary sounding board. At a recent workshop, Monica was delighted with the results, remarking that, “It is as if I’m controlling my speech and in command of my words.”
She later sent me an email saying that her voice is getting “sweeter and sweeter.” When I met Monica, I immediately recognized that her volume was too soft and that she often spoke too quickly. And there were times when her voice sounded too young. With her lovely Jamaican lilt, Monica has a beautiful instrument and has gained this fantastic control over her words, her speed and her voice.
Do you ever find when addressing an audience that the pitch of your voice rises, you begin to speak faster and faster, … Read more
