  Sleeping is a very important part of everyone’s life. Actually, the things we do before we go to bed matter, too. Many people watch TV-shows till late at night, drink a couple of beers with chicken wings, check all the existing social networks or just work till they are too exhausted.

No matter how old you are, where you’re from or what you do for a living, we all share something in common—a desire to be successful.

Sometimes what helps us to be successful in our professional lives is not such a great idea in our personal lives — competition is a quality that comes to mind. At the same time, we all have a limited amount of time each day to do the things that we want to do. So for the sake of saving time and energy, I’m sharing a list of tips that will help you be successful in both life and in business. 1. Add Value No matter what you do and where you go, you can’t go wrong with adding value. Simply put value is anything that people are willing to pay for. In your professional life, the more value you can offer the more money you can make. In your personal life, more value translates to closer relationships and strong personal growth. The best way to add value is to find the intersection between what people are willing to pay for and what service or product you can offer that is aligned with your values, strengths and goals. How are you adding value to your employers and loved

Many of us are way too busy to do our share to help the environment — or at least, that's how it feels much of the time. We'd like to join the fight against global warming, but who has the time?

It’s a rare person among us who doesn’t feel the need to get more organized. I consider myself fairly organized, for example, but there are times when I get a little lax about my organizational rules, and there’s always room for improvement. And if you’re already organized (read: you’re an organizational freak), chances are, you like to read about others’ organizational systems.

Investing during times of market stress and volatility can be difficult. For this reason it’s useful for SMSF investors to keep a key set of things – call them rules – in mind. The seven key rules, in my view, are: be aware that there is always a cycle; invest for the long term; turn down the noise; buy low and sell high; beware of the crowd; diversify and focus on investments offering a sustainable cash flow. 1. Be aware that there is always a cycle The historical experience of investment markets – be they bonds, shares, property or infrastructure –

   London's Heathrow airport © Reuters TOKYO -- With ever-expanding direct-flight and transit options, major international airports can no longer rely on their convenient location alone to attract travelers.      Since fewer airport users means a loss of jobs and businesses, airports are keen to upgrade their facilities and develop enticing services to keep the traffic coming.

With fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose on travelers every day, airfare isn’t getting any cheaper. Since you can’t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.

You’ve just ordered a top sirloin at a five star restaurant and the waiter brings you prime rib.  Or you arrive on time for your reservation and still have to wait 20 minutes to get a table.  Or you ask for a beer with your dinner and, after you’ve reminded the waiter twice, he informs you as you’re finishing off your entree that the restaurant is out of your selection.  

Are you ever held back by a lack of confidence? Does this prevent you from achieving your goals and becoming ultimately successful?

BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T STEAL PEOPLE'S POWER! Friends, If you want to help people on your team to excel... The best thing you can do is to let them figure some stuff out on their own. Hand holding and babysitting breeds an attitude of expectancy and laziness. SERIOUSLY! You may think you're being the best leader in the world. But the fact is you're not. It's not good for you. And it's not good for them. Of course you should help your team. But there's a line. People come to me all the time with various kinds of questions and problems. "Vic, I'm broke. Can you lend me?" Vic, I'm stuck with this. Can you do it for me?" Usually, the same people asking these questions didn't watch the videos, didn't even attempt to solve the problem themselves... AND WERE OUT AT THE BAR POUNDING SHOTS ALL NIGHT! Do yourself a favour. Do them a favour and let them figure that shit out on their own. They may hate you for it now. But one day they w

HERE'S A FREE 6 FIGURE MARKETING LESSON... This is the most life changing post I've written in a long time. Why? Because it will give some of you the financial breakthrough you've been desperately searching for. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND TAKE NOTES. Making money on the internet is simple. It all comes down to something called positive expectancy. The rest is just the wrapping paper we place that positive expectancy in. So what is positive expectancy? " The skill of creating hope and making people feel like they will take a positive step toward their desired outcome if they follow your simple advice." And that raises another question. What do people desire? Simple... HAPPINESS! But Ben, tell me why are they unhappy? Ok you twisted my arm. People are unhappy because they have lots of problems stressing them out and keeping them awake at night. Problems like: -Debt -Feeling trapped in the rat race -Lack of free time -Not enough vacations

  Blood sugar is not just something which should be monitored by diabetics, as the way your body feels is quite often determined by these levels. Low blood sugar can leave you feeling dizzy, cold or tired, whereas a high blood sugar level usually means you feel more awake and full of beans.

  They say the mouth is the window to the health of the body. If that’s the case, then taking care of your teeth and gums should be an important part of your daily routine.

We all want to be great dads, but chances are, our fathers never sat down with us and taught us how to be a better father.   And we don’t necessarily want to be our fathers.

The estranged son of a respected Boston police captain was arrested July 4 by FBI agents as part of a counter-terrorism operation against alleged ISIS-inspired domestic terrorists, federal officials told ABC News today. Alexander Ciccolo, 23, of Adams, Mass., was taken into custody on gun charges after buying two pistols and two rifles from an undercover FBI confidential informant, federal officials said. In a search of his apartment, officials reported they found it loaded with possible bomb-making equipment including a pressure cooker, a variety of chemicals, an alarm clock, along with “attack planning papers” and “jihad” paperwork. FBI agents said he used the name Abu Ali al-Amriki and neighbors said he was a recent convert to Islam. “This is a very bad person arrested before he could do very bad things,” one senior federal official briefed on the arrest told ABC News.

Many older women are unaware of some of the early warning signs of breast cancer, according to a survey. Fewer than half of the women over 70 who were questioned could name a symptom, apart from a lump. The government health agency,  Public Health England , which organised the survey, said that older women were also more likely to delay going to their GP. About one in three women diagnosed with breast cancer each year are aged 70 or over. A campaign by Public Health England, called Be Clear on Cancer, is urging older women to visit their doctor if they notice breast changes, such as a lump or a change to the nipple, skin or the shape of the breast. Jenny Harries of Public Health England said: "We want women 70 and over to be aware of their breasts and to recognise any changes, report any new symptoms and just remember that you're not past it when it comes to breast cancer." Figures show that about 9,500 women die every year from breast cancer and over hal

The hiring of Rafael Benitez as Real Madrid boss on Wednesday makes the Spaniard the 10th coach to serve under Florentino Perez during his two spells as the club’s president between June 2000-February 2006 and since June 2009.  The 68-year-old has sanctioned the spending of reportedly over a billion euros on transfer fees during that time for the return of three league titles, two Champions Leagues and two Copa del Reys.  Here, AFP sports looks at the nine men that have come and gone under Perez’s leadership:  Vicente del Bosque (November 1999-June 2003)  Arguably Perez’s most famous and ludicrous decision was to let the now Spanish national team manager go just days after he had won a second league title in three seasons. 

With the genetic, physiological, as well as the nutritional sciences expanding forward in their discoveries, we simply know today that women’s health includes some different precautions, needs and characteristics. What we are told as women in the mainstream media however, is not always for the good of our health. All too often it serves more the well-being of the pharmaceutical companies and other corporations, who all too often prey on the fact that women do tend to be more proactive about their health, and thus willing to buy or use more products than men, while having less quality time for themselves. Thus today, I share with you 5 important health tips every woman should know, when it comes to optimal health from the holistic and natural point of view.

Lagos - Roberts Orya, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Export- Import Bank (NEXIM), has been elected as the new Honorary President of the Global Network of Export-Import Banks and Development Finance Institutions (G-NEXID).

CEO of AFRIFF, Chioma Ude, has revealed the reason Nigerian movies are yet to get much recognition from global film awards and festivals. She revealed this while speaking as a panelist at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference alongside Wunmi Obe, Femi Falodun and Theo Lawson. According to her, the major reason is because most of the movies do not have as much local language content as required to enter the Foreign Film categories at most of the world’s biggest award shows. “We need to understand what this category is about and the criteria for entry. Movies in this category are expected to have rich cultural elements which must reflect in the language, story, music and all other elements present in the film. Although, things are getting better now, as Nollywood got an invitation from the Oscars last year, and hopefully will get a slot soon. The right film must have at least 51% local language content to be accepted into the Foreign Language Film category.’ Speaking f

My name is Emmanuel Senayon. I thank God for his divine grace in my life who gave me the golden grace to see this revelation. The Lord promised me in my first encounter, to visit me again, to show me the mystery because his coming is very near and Satan is working so hard to win souls for his ugly kingdom.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE PLAN OF THE DEVIL AGAINST MAN." The Lord took my hand and we arrived before the throne of
