Actual for You - Growing Up Canadian
One of the reasons target setting is so hard, is that human emotion is left out of the equation.INTRODUCTIONWhat's your target achieving track record? Do you reach the majority of your targets within their set timeframes, or do you find yourself throwing up all kinds of rationalizations and reasons as to why the majority of your targets were not met? It might be because your target setting process is a little too much about numbers and not nearly enough about emotion, about how people feel about the various aspects of target setting, pursuing and achieving.TARGETS MUST SPEAK TO THE HEART, NOT JUST THE HEADTargets that are an almost mathematical arrangement of "performance measure + target value + timeframe" speak loudly and clearly to the head. They say nothing to the heart. What makes a target speak to the heart is rich a

Venture capitalism is a system wherein a person or a company often referred to as venture capitalists invest money in a company or business exchange for a stake in the business or a share in the earnings, present and future, of the company.Venture capitalists are frequently the ones that provide funding for companies that are in need of seed money to start up their business. Often, they support businesses that have a high potential for growth and those that they feel will return their investments multiple-folds. Companies that have innovative ideas and products are primary targets of venture capitalists. They are also partial to industries that are into innovations like Information Technology, Biotechnology and the medical fields.Other venture capitalists focus on providing capitals for already established companies who are seeking to e
A few years’ back I was in a sweat lodge with guest-elder, Michael Thrasher, and he was angry with us. Really angry. He challenged us to heal, to grow, to better ourselves and then get back out there (into the world) and BE PARENTS to the next generation who is growing up empty out there. He taught that we had a responsibility to get outside and LOVE our children. If the current cycle wasn’t stopped, and stopped right now – by this generation – then there may not even be a next generation to be concerned about.
I read a disturbing article in the Province newspaper. A 29-year-old man was on his way to work at a construction site when he began experiencing a diabetic seizure. He got off the Skytrain and collapsed on the station floor. As he slipped into a coma, the rest of the people around him just stepped over him, stepped around him, ignored him. He was a clean cut, clean looking fellow dying there on the ground. It was almost an hour of morning rush hour traffic before someone finally called for help. His girlfriend wrote an emotionally scathing letter that summed it up quite well.

Writing a fiction article is a very interesting thing to do for those who have a natural aptitude of writing. The writers who write fictions are generally different from each other in their style. Same is the situation with the people who write fiction articles. Some of the people write a very well structured fiction article while their may be another person who has written an equally impressive fiction article but it may lack the strict boundaries of structure.Writing a fiction article is something people do in their own styles. If you want to write a good fiction article, you must jolt down the points or the themes which you want to discuss in your article. The use of words should be appropriate. While writing fiction articles many people prefer using a bit complicated language which is too much filled with philosophy. This may prove to be r

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about blogging and the suggestion that it’s the true emancipation of the decimation of information.While that might sound like a lyric from a 80’s protest rap song, it’s certainly one of the principle benefits of blogging.With an opinion and a blog, someone can publicize their thoughts in a truly democratized way: if someone disagrees with you, they’ll tell you as much. Thus, my blog exists as a means for me to store my opinions and allow those like-minded to read and comment.But there’s a flip-side to all of this, and it’s a dark one. What if your blog is never seen?Rather than creating an immediate forum for one’s own opinions / rants / rambles / insights et cetera, the Internet can simply become an even larger room to be stood in the corner of feeling even more alone.It’s sad, a

Hiring a lawyer means spending money. Spending money on something that does not help your bottom line or profitability. For the most part it is a cost of doing business and one, which no one wishes to spend. Some liken lawyer costs to extortion fees to protect your company against other professional parasites. Lawyers have been called sharks, parasites, mafia and even Terrorists. Nevertheless, when you need one of these _ _ _ _ you have no choice. Here are some tips to consider when hiring a business lawyer.1.) Make sure your business lawyer is politically connected in your area.2.)

“Almost everyone owns a cell phone. Why did none of you call the police or an ambulance? Are we so disconnected from each other and so concerned about our own agendas that we cannot stop for two minutes and help a fellow human being?”
The Province followed up the next day with an Editorial that ended on this question.
“In creating a modern, progressive society, have we lost our most important quality – our humanity?”
The following week saw our news blitzed with three days of “Top Story” coverage of a whale beached in the sound and the public’s efforts to rescue it. I commend those who helped the whale but have to shake my head at the priorities of our populace. Michelle Joyal-Blumenfeld mirrored my thoughts in her letter to the Province.
“I find it appalling we make such a big deal about a beached whale yet we step over a 29 year old man suffering from a diabetic seizure after stumbling off a crowded Skytrain.”
Is it that we so consumed by what is going on in our own lives that we don’t want to see the world around us? We even feel assaulted if someone pushes his or her “life” into ours. Walking foreword with the blinders on full. Well that’s not working!
We live in a society where 12 & 13 year olds are robbing and beating the elderly – for fun. Not even because they needed the money; they are just looking for a way to have fun. How we have failed the
