Arbor Day 2011: Friday, April 29
The first Arbor Day was celebrated on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. Journalist Julius Sterling Morton was a recent pioneer to the Nebraska territory; his home state of Michigan having hailed many trees. Not only did Morton and his wife miss their trees, he realized that trees were needed as windbreaks to keep soil in place, for building materials, for economic growth, and to serve as shade from the hot sun.

by using the The Art of Conversation
This week we have looked at the art of conversation, why it is important, and how to master the art. This post looks at things to avoid. Don’t let a bad mood or a wrong turn become the “kiss of death” in your social and family circles. Once you become labeled as a “chatter box”, “hot head”, or a “know-it-all”, these labels are hard to remove.
“She has lost the art of conversation, but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.”
– George Bernard Shaw

Conversation is an art. Not talking. Talking is a verb. Mastering the art of conversation is a common skill among successful people. Have you ever wondered how some people can engage total strangers in conversation? How about the man at the office who knows a little bit about every topic under the sun? Certainly enough to carry on an intelligent conversation… without being a “know-it-all!”
“It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much.” Yogi Berra
Have you noticed the person with whom it seems everyone wants to talk to at a meeting or party? That person is either VERY FAMOUS or simply a good conversationalist. People simply enjoy engaging in conversation with them.
Here are 7 Success Habits for Mastering the Art of Conversation: Continue reading ‘The Art of Conversation–The How-To List’ »

Conversation is the way we express thoughts and feelings. It is also how we bring dreams and ideas into being. We first start with an idea, then we share the idea, then we brainstorm on how to bring the idea into fruition, and it then takes conversation… or communication… to make the idea into a product or service for others.
The art of conversation is a skill that successful people have mastered. Those who seem to effortlessly converse with others about a wide variety of topics are the ones tapped for executive and leadership positions both in the community and in business. Good conversational skills also assist in forming positive relationships as well as help strengthen existing relationships. Continue reading ‘The Art of Conversation’ »

Earth Day was first envisioned by Senator Gaylord Nelson in the early 1960s because he was concerned that politicians were not addressing environmental issues. This concern was spurred by a trip Nelson made to Santa Barbra following the massive oil spill in 1969. Nelson organized a national grassroots effort in the spring of 1970 to promote conservation and environmental awareness. This first Earth Day in the United States helped pave the way for the US Environmental Protection Agency as well as the passage of the Clear Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species acts.

We have looked at Success Habits from several angles in recent posts. One way to ensure that your Success Habits work for you is to build good personal care for yourself in the process.

Guess what? We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And the same 7 days in a week. And the same 365 days in one year.
So how do some people seem to be able to accomplish so much more in the same hours as the rest of us? By doing the “right things” at the “right time.” In other words, successful people know their High Value Activities as well as High Value and Low Value Time. They work on HVAs in productive slots and LVAs in less productive time slots.
There are literally hundreds of Success Habits. Let’s look at only a few: Continue reading ‘Success Habits… What Successful People Practice’ »
