Two Lists You Should Look at Every Morning - Peter Bregman by Peter Bregman | 11:00 AM May 27, 2009 I was late for my meeting with the CEO of a technology company and I was emailing him from my iPhone as I walked onto the elevator in his company’s office building. I stayed focused on the screen as I rode to the sixth floor. I was still typing with my thumbs when the elevator doors opened and I walked out without looking up. Then I heard a voice behind me, “Wrong floor.” I looked back at the man who was holding the door open for me to get back in; it was the CEO, a big smile on his face. The world is moving fast and it’s only getting faster. So we try to speed up to match the pace of the action around us. But that’s a mistake. Never before has it been so important to say “No.” It’s hard to do because maybe, just maybe, that next piece of information will be the key to our success. A study of car accidents by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute put cameras in cars to see what happens right before an accident.
100 Must See Movies For Men For whatever reason (most likely the fact that viewing is easier than reading), films don’t seem to get the same kind of cultural respect as books do. Which is a shame because excellent movies can be just as entertaining, mind-expanding, and life changing as good books. Scenes, characters, and quotes from the greatest movies stay with us long after we view them. Their ability to transport you to different times and exotic locations, to completely absorb you in the story, make movies one of the closest approximations of real magic we have in this world. And for better and for worse, film has had a huge impact on masculinity in the 20th Century. We didn’t want to make a list of movies that consisted solely of violence and gratuitous T and A that make up most guy movie lists. Let us know in the comments which movies you loved, which ones you hated, and the movies you think every man should see before he dies.

Food Nutrition Facts - Healthy Living Tips at WomansDay.com - Womans Day Every child has heard the healthy-eating mantra "You are what you eat." But there may be a closer resemblance between good-for-you grub and your body than you thought. We found 10 foods that mirror the body parts they provide nutrients for—for example, brain-boosting walnuts actually look like a brain. Coincidence? 1. Slice a carrot in half crosswise and it's easy to see that the veggie resembles an eye—look closely and you'll even notice a pattern of radiating lines that mimic the pupil and iris. 2. The folds and wrinkles of a walnut bring to mind another human organ: the brain. 3. Long, lean stalks of celery look just like bones—and they're good for them, too. 4. The lightbulb shape of an avocado looks like a uterus, and it supports reproductive health as well. 5. Studies have offered evidence that clams, which bear a resemblance to testicles, are actually good for the male sex organs. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Satellite Photo Shows New Island Rising from Earth's Red Sea The Red Sea has a new inhabitant: a smoking island. The island was created by a wild eruption that occurred in the Red Sea earlier this month. It is made of loose volcanic debris from the eruption, so it may not stick around long. According to news reports, fishermen witnessed lava fountains reaching up to 90 feet (30 meters) tall on Dec. 19, which is probably the day the eruption began, said Erik Klemetti, a volcanologist at Denison University in Granville, Ohio. Ash plumes were seen emanating from the spot Dec. 20 and Dec. 22 by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites. "I am surprised about how quickly the island has grown," Klemetti, who writes Wired's Eruptions Blog, told OurAmazingPlanet. The volcanic activity occurred along the Zubair Group, a collection of small islands that run in a roughly northwest-southeast line. Scientists will keep a close eye on the new island to see if it has staying power.
15 Ways To Stabilize So Your Dreams Can Materialize | Creative Life & Internet Marketing Set and Then Forget… (at least for a little while) As an aggressive entrepreneur, I was ready to conquer the world at a very young age. My plan was to out-work, out-innovate, and out-run my competition at all costs until I was financially free. I started a lawn mowing business… then a custom T-shirt business… and then a motivational poster business… After several years of intense entrepreneurship, I had reached my mid-20’s… and I was still broke. Stabilize Your Finances Financial stability starts with steady income and low expenses, NOT with a great investment or the next great entrepreneurial idea. I always wanted to put risk before stability, but it’s actually the other way around. 1. As a free spirit, I’ve always hated “workin’ for the man.” I’d put in my resignation and set out on my next business adventure. Entrepreneurs: Don’t Jump Too Soon As an entrepreneur coach, I see the same situation over and over again. My advice is always something they don’t want to hear: 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2.
Le Guide VICE pour pécho des meufs « Pour pécho une meuf, il suffit de dire “Pas de problème”. Tout le temps. Pas de problème. » Je suis chez des amis et c’est le mec assis à ma droite, Piotr, un mafieux russe, qui parle. « Si elle est en retard, tu bois ton verre tout seul. Quand elle arrive, tu lui dis “Aucun problème”. Et tu continues ta soirée comme si de rien n’était. C’est toujours et pour toujours “Pas de problème”. iotr a maintenant capté l’attention de toute la table. Piotr est un mec flippant qui parle aux arbres, porte des pantalons africains et sera bientôt en prison pour double meurtre. Le problème quand t’as vraiment envie de baiser, c’est que t’as l’air d’un mec qui a vraiment envie de baiser. Au fait, on ne sort jamais une fille au resto avant de l’avoir baisée au moins une fois. Et tu ne la rappelles pas, espèce de trou du cul ! Fuck Cool J. Si tu téléphones plus que ce qu’on t’a dit, tu vas donner l’impression d’être désespéré. Il y a du matériel à rassembler. Ah oui, un autre truc. C’est chaud.

How to Be More Charismatic: 10 Tips Some people instantly make us feel important. Some people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just by walking in. We can't always define it, but some people have it: They're naturally charismatic. Unfortunately, natural charisma quickly loses its impact. Familiarity breeds, well, familiarity. But some people are remarkably charismatic: They build and maintain great relationships, consistently influence (in a good way) the people around them, consistently make people feel better about themselves--they're the kind of people everyone wants to be around...and wants to be. Fortunately we can, because being remarkably charismatic isn't about our level of success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project--it's about what we do. Here are the 10 habits of remarkably charismatic people: 1. Ask questions. That's all it takes to show the other person they're important. Then when you do speak, don't offer advice unless you're asked. Don't believe me? 2. 3.
