Time Management Tip
How effective time management can make you wealthy.
John Paul Getty wrote this about his friend Hal Seymour.
Hal considered himself to be very wealthy in personal freedom. He was always able to do the things he wanted to do and always had time in which to do them. He seldom missed a chance to remind me that, in these regards, I was much poorer than he.
Before his death, he frequently wrote me letters which opened with the wryly humorous but meaningful salutation: "To the richest man in the world from the Wealthiest …" I'll have to admit that I envied Hal his abundance of time - which is one of the forms of wealth that people tend to disregard these days.
Rich as I may be in a material standpoint, I've long felt that I'm very poor, indeed, in time. For decades, my business affairs have made extremely heavy in-roads on my time, leaving me little I could use as I pleased. There are books I have wanted to read and books I wanted to write. I've always yearned to travel to remote parts of the globe which I've never seen.
Even the richest man in the world (at the time) regarded himself "time poor."
So what does it cost you to be time poor? Many things from relationships to health. The bottom line is that effective time management creates a happy life. A busy, overloaded life is full of stress and unhappiness.
So please make sure you take the time to be happy :-)

Educating Men about the Female vocab!
Educating guys — Female keywords and their real meanings
Fine - This is the word women use at the end of any argument when they feel they are right but can't stand to hear you argue any longer. It means that you should shut up. (NEVER use "fine" to describe how she looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.)
Five minutes - This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so women feel that it's an even trade.
Nothing - "Nothing" means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine."
