What’s the name of the tallest mountain in the world?




Mauna Kea, the highest point on the island of Hawaii.
The inactive volcano is a modest 13,799 feet above sea level, but when measured from the seabed to its summit, it is 33,465 feet high about three-quarters of a mile taller than Mount Everest.


As far as mountains are concerned, the current convention is that “highest” means measured from sea level to summit; “tallest” means measured from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Teaching Children Manners in a Manner-less World

It is sad, but in today's world it seems that good manners have been thrown out the window and left in the dust. People seem to have become more and more self-absorbed and unwilling to consider another human being before him or herself and children feel more and more entitled to whatever it is they want.
For parents, we realize that to a certain extent our children are a reflection of our values and us. For parents who are determined that their child will not grow up to be a narcissistic adult acting like a child with poor manners and a self-absorbed attitude, it is so important that we make sure our children display proper manners, understand the importance of them, and appreciate the needs of others.

Read Read Read (( Billion Dollar Advice))

Read, Read, Read

A man once wrote to Warren Buffet, who ranked number one in Forbes 2008 rich list. He asked him, 'If you could give me just one piece of advice to become as rich as you are what would it be?  His answer was 'Read, read read'. That is quite a statement, from quite an authoritative source. The man is reportedly worth $62.0 Billion, totally self made, if he has something to say, I would hazard a guess that it may be worth listening.

Importance of Reading Aloud with Children


Finding the time to sit down and read aloud with our children is difficult. Evenings are often packed. We get home late from work or activities with the kids. We need to make dinner, help with homework and get our children to sleep. We deserve a little time to ourselves to do email, watch a favorite TV program or chat with our partner. However, by not sticking read aloud in to the family routine, we are missing out on an opportunity to facilitate our child’s life long literacy.

“The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in Reading is reading aloud to children.” U.S. Department of Education Commission on Reading

The benefits of reading aloud to our children are numerous. This role of parent as reader and story teller should begin at birth and end only when necessary. As your child grows, the read aloud changes to include different subjects, genres and time periods. Below is a short list highlighting ten advantages to reading aloud:

Book Publishers: What Do They Want

If you’ve tried submitting a manuscript to any of the book publishers within the business today, chances are you’ve received a rejection. The so named rejection scripts goes something like we’re not searching for new authors at this moment, we’re not interested, and so on. Irrespective of how they’re written, oftentimes, they’ll be cold and harsh and these will often be taken as huge blows in an author’s life. You’ve place your heart and soul into the materials but they do not believe its good enough. On that note, what are publishers really trying to find?

A way to Get Better Results From Your Self Improvement Efforts

Reading a book is additionally self improvement and private development or to be more precise, reading the book alone is not very self improvement, however reading the book, and applying what you learn is. To illustrate my point lets talk concerning one thing very generic, if you browse a book on lets say programming a webpage, it will perhaps help you perceive how the programmer makes the net-pages, but the particular page you would like to make, can not exist before you start programming it.

And equally the development of yourself will not occur just from reading a lot of books, but by applying what you learn in those books it will!

How to Become a Creative Genius


Einstein
When we measure the creativity of young children, virtually all of them will record as being ‘highly creative’. However, only a small percentage of adults register as being ‘highly creative’.
What happened?
Schools have crushed creativity. We were told to color within the lines. We were taught to follow instructions. The goal in
school is to get the “right” answer. Unfortunately, if you’re afraid to be wrong, you’ll never be creative or original.
The job of education is to produce employees who follow instructions. And to this endeavor, they are doing a
very good job. However, in terms of creativity, they are falling terribly short.
This is one of the most unfortunate realities in our current education system.
To undo this, we must continually exercise our creative juices. That’s why I have put together 6 tips for expanding your creativity.

2012 Movies Based on Books


Each year
 an average of thirty novels are made into movies for the big screen. Authors watch tensely as their stories are filtered through the hands of screenwriters, directors, cinematographers and studio chiefs. If they're lucky, these film adaptations do the original story justice. However, it is often the case that the book is significantly better than the movie 










Positive Thinking And Its Effect On Your Health

The first situation to consider is the relationship between thoughts and conditions like depression and stress. A crucial question is whether the person's thoughts are creating the physical depression or the physical depression is creating the negative thinking. When it comes to how you can use your mind to help, this can be accomplished consciously and subconsciously. When someone has a habit of imagining things turning out very badly, rational thinking can show show them that they often exaggerate. However, the unconscious mind is much more powerful in shaping our habitual behavior, oftentimes beyond our conscious control. Visualization and hypnosis can be very effective in modifying beliefs and, if you do this, the long-lasting effects can be more powerful than using logic only.

No time? No money?

If you think that you don’t have enough time to start reading, you’re wrong. How do I know? Because we make time for the things that are important to us. How much TV do you watch? How much time do you spend trawling the web? You could easily replace reading with those activities.
