The Best Marriage Advice From A Divorced Man. We’ve already heard the best marriage advice from a divorced woman, but we need to hear both ‘damaged’ sides in order to combine the full story. I’ve found an incredible advice from a divorced man – Gerald Rogers – that published it as a status on Facebook. Gerald Rogers is a seeker, a leader, a servant, a lover and a warrior of light. His famous status is breaking the records since 2013 for all the right reasons! I choose not to re-write his advice, or tell my personal opinion about it, because I think it’s perfect just the way it is. So here’s the actual advice unedited: Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. 1) Never stop courting. 2) PROTECT YOUR OWN HEART. 3) FALL IN LOVE OVER and OVER and OVER again. 4) ALWAYS SEE THE BEST in her. 5) IT’S NOT YOUR JOB TO CHANGE OR FIX HER… your job is to love her as she is with no expectation of her ever changing. 6) TAKE FULL ACCOUNTABILITY for your own emotions: It’s not your wife’s job to make you happy, and she CAN’T make you sad.

Complications And Preventive Measures Complications and Preventive Measures Pneumatic tourniquets are used in over 1 million surgical cases annually in North America.

While the majority of these problems may be transient, and perhaps even unnoticeable, some are permanent or reversible only over extended time periods with prolonged disability being experienced by the afflicted person. Nerve Injury Nerve injury is the most common complication from the use of tourniquets during upper - extremity surgery, and can also occur in thigh and lower leg cuff applications.

In his book Outwitting the Devil, Napoleon Hill describes a meeting he had with his "other self," which operated entirely out of faith and definiteness of purpose. This other self seized upon Hill immediately following several months of deep depression. This voice told him whom to ask for financial aid in publishing his books. At a personal and professional rock bottom, Hill entered a mental state with infinite power. Many others have been gripped by their "other self." Make a decision while in a passionate state.Commit to that decision.Resolve within yourself that what you have decided is finished. Making a commitment means you're seeing it through to the end. Where decisions are made in a single moment, commitment is seeing those decisions into the future.
20 Years Ago, Jeff Bezos Gave an Interview Detailing Amazon's Killer Strategy--and It's Absolutely Brilliant The world was a very different place 20 years ago. The internet was new and experiencing exponential growth. Google was only a year old and relatively unknown. And as countless "internet companies" rushed to cash in, they created an infamous bubble that eventually popped, resulting in billions of dollars of lost value. But even amid this confusing cloud of startups and dot-coms, one company stood out. I highly recommend watching the whole interview. At one point, he sums it up in a single sentence: If there's one thing Amazon.com is about it's obsessive attention to the customer experience, end-to-end. Fast forward 20 years to today. One thing that I love about this video is that the interviewer, who takes an adversarial position, doesn't pull any punches. Instead, he demonstrates emotional intelligence. Here are some of the highlights: On whether or not Amazon is an internet company Bezos: "It doesn't matter to me.... Bezos: "I don't see why not. On the cost of Amazon's grandiose plans

Barbara Corcoran Swears by 1 Interview Question to Weed Out Complainers When Barbara Corcoran interviewed candidates for her successful real estate brokerage, she never bothered to read their resumes first. Resumes can be easily fabricated and perfectly finessed, so she didn't see the point. Instead, she wanted to know one key fact about each potential employee: Was he or she happy or not? Looking for the light. The self-made real estate mogul and Shark Tank star cares deeply about personality and drive. That's what she told Adam Bryant, who interviews top executives about leadership for the New York Times's Corner Office column. Though "looking for the light in people" might sound a little hippy dippy, clearly Corcoran has something figured out. So it's safe to say Corcoran has a knack for building successful and high-performing teams. Family matters. Corcoran says she wants to know about a prospective employee's parents. She says success all comes down to positivity and happiness. She hates complainers.
