    Influencing the Organisation
    There is a saying about management that suggests some managers are so focussed on the details of a business, that when the Titanic was sinking those particular managers were still straightening chairs in the dining room. Whether we love ‘em or hate ‘em, managers are here to stay, and their job is fundamentally to manage the resources within an organisation for optimum e

    Learn to Earn
    The first quarter of your life is dedicated to learning. However, the subjects that you are taught in school don’t necessarily aid in your earning potential. Depending on your profession, it is very likely that most of your coursework in high school and/or college doesn’t even closely pertain to what you do now.This is unfortunate. More unfortunate it is because
    To be honest, I think that most presenters should avoid telling jokes. But on the other hand, telling jokes around the water cooler or on the porch while sippin' lemonade is a time-honored tradition. If it was good enough for Gramps, why ain't it good enough for us? But if you are going to tell jokes, you should do it right.

    1. Make sure you actually know the joke. Practice it! Tell it to your kids, your spouse, and your dog. Trust me, you want to tell the joke a few times before you do it for real. Nothing will make you look like a bigger idiot than telling a joke wrong.

    2. Scan the internet for jokes to AVOID. Don't tell jokes that everybody has heard... if your joke is all over the internet, then this is a great joke to AVOID.

    3. Shorter jokes are better. I know, I know. You think you're a great story teller. But trust me, your audience will appreciate you for NOT adding all of the colorful details and fluff. Just tell the joke. Shorten it if you can.

    4. The punch line comes last. And I mean last! Nothing should come after the punch-line. Consider this joke done well. Why Did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

    Now, the same joke when the punch-line is not last.

    This is much worse. (I know, that joke is pretty bad on it's own, but... you get the idea.)

    Computer Education And Our Future
    The role of computer in education has been changing since it was introduced to public use in early eighties. Nowadays, arguments about introducing more information technology equipment into public education or having a reasonable control of it bother not just school administration but educational councils, psychologists and sociologists countrywide; moreover this proble

    Massage Therapy Is A Great Stress Reliever
    For those who have already discovered it, massage is just about the nicest thing on the planet. One of the best things about massage is that you don't need a lot of fancy expensive equipment to get or give one. The key to a helpful rather than a painful massage is finding a licensed massage therapist who is familiar with fibromyalgia treatment.Now days, in addit

    Obstacles to Lasting Change
    Change is the key to our success and to our financial future. Often in our own lives, however, change is something we fiercely resist. We can only become who we want to become through change.In spite of knowing this, we still often wallow in our comfort zone. Even when achievement sits on our doorstep, we're still too comfortable to make an

    Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side of the road which was on a long block because he wanted to get to his chicken coop.

    See? Punch-lines should be last. Period. NOTHING comes after the punch. (Except for your silence and their laughter.)

    5. Keep it clean. And I mean crystal clean. If you wouldn't

    tell it to the Queen of England (who probably doesn't like jokes much anyway) then leave it out. Seriously. If you have any doubt whether you are "crossing the line," then don't tell it. Think of it this way: if you tell a joke to 10 people and 9 of them laugh, then you've still alienated a friend. Don't do it.

    6. If you are telling a joke as part of a presentation, don't take credit for the joke. You can do that before the joke with something like, "Here's one I read on the internet." Or after the joke with something like, "That old joke was on the internet, but it reminds us to.... (follow with a point.)" If you don't let people know that his joke is from the internet, you risk looking like a fool. I guarantee that at least a couple of people in every

    audience already know your joke, and if you want to earn

    and keep THEIR respect you need to make sure you don't (tacitly) claim that joke to be yours.

    7. Don't steal jokes from stand up comics. Unless they are

    dead. Jokes are material, and it is how they earn a living
