Each day of our lives we become exposed to things that hinder our ability to think creatively and rationally. Critical thinking supplies are invented so that educators and parents both can help their students and children to think clearly, accurately and fairly. Additionally, critical thinkers are usually better prepared to those who lack this ability.
Just because your child is intelligent or has greater knowledge does not mean he is decisive and rational. Critical thinking is about how our children can use their intelligence and knowledge to reach objective and rationale viewpoints. Critical supplies engage children in both life and learning. Its real value lies in the fact that it improves their understanding of the world they live in, while it works to develop personal skills that will help them meet with success throughout their lives.
How often do you think? Yes, I know we all think all the time. But how often do you engage in deep, disciplined, thought provoking, critical thinking. The kind of thinking that triggers deep and fundamental change? Something I read years ago has stayed with me: ‘We become too soon old and too late smart’. Critical thinking is simply the act of reflecting on our beliefs, assumptions and actions and being open to consider new ways of looking at and living in the world. Critical thinking is a productive process that enables us to be more effective and innovative in the important areas of life, and to develop wisdom.
The goal of thinking critically is simple: to guarantee, as far as possible, that our beliefs and actions can be justified and can withstand rational analysis. Just what do we do when we’re thinking critically? In general terms, thinking critically is to think clearly, accurately, knowledgeably, while evaluating the reasons for a belief you hold, an assumption you have, or an action you take.
We often believe things not because we have good evidence for them but because we want to believe them. We tend to construe things in our own favour, to look for evidence that fits with what we already believe or want to believe. Too often, we can deceive ourselves. We allow habit to control how we think about the issues and actions in our life. Often, we see only what we want to see and believe only what we want to believe. When we engage in critical thinking things change, and the two main benefits will be increased self-confidence and a heightened sense of control over our life.
Once we commit ourselves to critical thinking we will generate continual learning and improvement in life as we search for the beliefs and actions that best serve us. We need to learn how to conduct that search properly, so that our self-confidence and self-respect flourish and grow. Also, the better we become at evaluating our thinking, the more likely it is that we will be in control of situations where decisions need to be made or problems solved. Continual learning is essential to lifetime growth. It’s possible to have a great deal of experience in life and yet be no smarter for all the things you’ve done, seen, and heard. Experience alone is no guarantee of lifetime growth. But if you regularly examine and transform your experience into new learning, you will make each day of your life one of growth.
The smartest people are not those with a high IQ, but those who can transform even the smallest events or situations into breakthroughs in thinking and action. We should look at all of life as a school and every experience as a lesson, and then our learning will always be greater than our experience. You are the thinker of your thoughts, you are not just your thoughts, and when you react to some action or incident and find yourself responding… take a ‘mental’ step back and ask yourself
Why did I think that thought?
Was it an automatic response triggered by a program running in my mind?
Did it serve me?
What else could I have chosen to think?
When you apply critical thinking instead of simply accepting your thoughts and letting them run across the screen of your mind, you access deep learning and powerful change. This has the potential to impact and improve your life. So what are you thinking right now as a result of reading this? And why are you thinking that thought?
Go out and make it a great day and to your success!

"Ezine Articles" Can Be a Very Targeted Form of Marketing | "NetDivvy" Teaches You How
Ezine Articles can be a very targeted form of marketing, but make sure you read this thoroughly before you place any ads. The "NetDivvy" Training System shares the logistics for effective Ezine Article writing.
First, what is an Ezine Article?
An Ezine Article is an email newsletter that goes out to a list of people that have agreed to receive emails form a specific person. You can purchase ad space in their newsletter broadcasts that will go out to thousands of readers at one time. Articles are a powerful form of marketing that allows people to create unique content based on certain pre-determined key words. Article directories are websites where users submit articles to be categorized and included to a specific niche.
"NetDivvy" shares the most popular article directories that are considered authority sites and are constantly crawled by the top Search Engine Bots. For Search engine optimization purposes, the ideal article length is 400-500 words with a keyword density of approximately 2%-3%.
There are only two types of ads that work. “top sponsor” and “solo” ads.
A top sponsor ad is a short 5-10 line ad that is placed at the top of broadcast and is the first thing the readers see. (See examples below for more info). Get to the point of what they are going to get by clicking on your link quickly and be sure to include the URL or your tracking URL in the ad. Use common sense here. Think about something that would make you click the link and visit your site when you are writing your ad.
A solo ad is a little different. It is the only thing that is included in that particular email blast. People get your ad and your ad only. Most solo ads need to be 60 lines or shorter, but some ezine owners will give you more leeway. (again, look below to see what we mean)
Longer is not necessarily better. Keep your ad to less than one page and break up the paragraphs into short chunks so it is easy to read quickly. Include the link to your website a few times in the body of the ad and
Be sure to include your URL or tracking link in the ad a couple times and sign off with your name and the link.
BEFORE placing an Ezine Article ad:
1. Get on the list yourself and read a few of the broadcasts. This way you can see what type of content and tailor your ad to coincide.
2. Make sure the Ezine Article content is RELEVANT to your ad. You do not want to advertise anything on network marketing to people reading an Ezine on dog grooming (that is an exaggeration, but the more relevant your ad is to the readers, the better response rate you will get)
Remember with Ezine advertising if it looks too good to be true…IT PROBABLY IS!
Just like anything, you can not get something for nothing with Ezine marketing, but you can get good value. If someone has a subscriber base of 4000 people and they want $10 for an ad, it probably isn’t a very responsive list. On the other hand if they want $500 for the same ad, it probably isn’t worth your money to test it.
Again, use common sense and test your offers.
TRACKING
As with any marketing strategy, you want to make sure you TRACK YOUR RESULTS to see which ezines are more responsive and which ads work best.
Test the length of your ad. Do longer ones work better than shorter ones or the other way around? Also test the placement of your URL. Put it at the top, middle, and bottom or a combination of the three and see what gets more clicks. The best way to test is by using tracking links.
Set up a NEW tracking link for EACH different Ezine or ad you test, so that you can see which ones perform best.
Aweber and GetResponse.com both contain tracking systems that allow you to track your ads if you have a subscription to their service. If you are a serious marketer, an auto responder is a must. You may click on either Aweber or GetResponse to set yours up.
To your success,

With "NetDivvy" You Can Have $1.00 a Gallon Gas - Another "NetDivvy" Benefit
The FREE NetDivvy Marketing and Training System is the best of two worlds. NetDivvy works in conjunction with your primary business providing you all the tools necessary to drive traffic to you and your business. It also provides an additional income source to fuel your primary business. Providing value to your customers and affiliates is critical for your success.
Below is just one way you can provide some value. If you are having a problem getting people to understand the value of having an Online Home-Based Business with you. Take a serious look at this! This is where the INFORMED & The UNINFORMED TAX PAYER comes into play. Why in the world someone doesn't see the benefits to them with your Home-Based Business opportunity is beyond my comprehension. If they still don't get it .... call the paramedics. They have to be brain dead!
Right now, more than ever, the price is at the forefront of everyone's mind. Right now this is what everyone is talking about and what is coming up in more conversations than anything else.
BUT, did you know that as a "NetDivvy" Home-Based Business Owner your gas 'should' be only costing you $1 per gallon?
Now before you start thinking that "Coach" is amazing, and what oil company did he cut a deal with? - let me say that no matter what home-based business you're in, you can make these gas prices work for you and EXPLODE your business like never before, because setting all gimmicks aside, this is real, your gas has to cost you $1 per gallon!
Here is how it works:
1.) The IRS provides a .50 cent tax write off for every mile you drive that is legitimately related to business. Document Your Mileage.
2.) People who do not own a business CANNOT qualify for this tax write off.
3.) Everywhere you go, whether it's work, church, the kid's soccer game, or just going to the store can be legitimate mileage tax write off IF you insert business into the equation.
This is EASY to do! It can be done by handing your home-based business card or do a presentation with everyone you meet through the course of the day. Plus it just makes good sense to promote your business always. The "NetDivvy" System teaches you many ways to market and drive traffic to you.
NOTE: You must record your business mileage in case you ever get audited and this is where typically it becomes a sticking point with most people as they do not want to take the time, can't take the time or forget to take the time. If that's you ...... here's what you need to do immediately.
Go to wwwXpenser.com (this is a FREE service) and sign up. Now you can simply call a phone number before, during or even after you've driven somewhere (that was business related) and leave a voice message such as ... "Soccer game handed out 3 business cards and 14 miles" and hang up. This FREE service will convert your message to text and log it in an online mileage for you.
4.) So here's the $1 per gallon formula (working with round numbers):
* $4.00 Per Gallon
* 20 Miles Per Gallon
* .50 Cents Per Mile IRS Tax Deduction
* 30% Tax Bracket
Those of you with math brains can do the calculations; but, the basics are at:
* 20 miles per gallon vehicle at $4.00 per gallon.
* Cost .20 cents per mile to drive,
* .50 cents per mile IRS deduction
* Times 30% tax bracket is .15 cents in REAL money you pocket at the end of the year on your taxes.
* And when you deduct .15 cents from .20 cents. you are at .05 cents per mile or $1 DOLLAR PER GALLON!
THESE ARE REAL DOLLARS/SAVINGS AND REAL CASH IN YOUR POCKET AT THE END
OF THE YEAR!
You might be saying "WOW", this sounds great - I see it and I'm excited that my home-based business is going to help me save $3 per gallon on my fuel cost and I'm going to conduct business wherever I go and log miles.
This one reason alone, among many others, is why I am happily involved in my own "NetDivvy" Online Home-Based Business and spreading the word to help others have more spendable income and time freedom!
To your success,

The Truth Behind "Mobile Monopoly" - Is It a Scam? | by Lloyd Dobson
Many people don't know that it's possible to make a living online, or at least a good extra income. Most think you have to have to go to college and have a great job to make a lot of money these days. Well if you think that way, I'm about to really surprise you, and show you exactly how you can make a lot of money online starting now! The truth behind Mobile Monopoly, it is not a scam!!
This is happening right now - the old online “money holes” are freezing over… the mother load is going mobile… and all the “old school” marketers are left shifting the deck chairs around before their ship goes down.
In fact… this is set to be the biggest “redistribution” of wealth online since before the dot-com “tech wreck” of the early 90's: All those “experts” sitting pretty on top of big, lumbering businesses are in for a rough ride… with this product called Mobile Monopoly.
… and if you're JUST STARTING OUT, new and nimble with nothing to “unlearn”… you're about to get in on the ground floor and skip right to where it would have taken you years to get to fighting it out on Google.
And it's not just me saying it - the companies on the inside of this trend watching it play out are scrambling to “reinvent” themselves from scratch to make mobile their new best friend.Mobile Monopoly has postured itself to be in the driver's seat of the 21st century
• It's why Google's not calling itself a “search engine” anymore - their new mantra's “mobile first”… and they're going on the record warning…
"DESKTOPS WILL BE IRRELEVANT"
* It's why Apple doesn't want to be in the “computer business” anymore - they're a “mobile company” now!
And the facts prove it's not just some “fad”… because…
* There are already 5 billion people walking around with mobile phones --that means mobile is already nearly five times bigger than the Internet
* (Since you are going to be one of the first people to REALLY get into mobile marketing, you need to understand just how huge this is.)
* Apple just sold over 2 million more iPhones… and Google's bragging that their customers are activating 160,000 Droid smartphones a day!
(that's at the same time the biggest maker of desktop PC's is on the verge of bankruptcy)…
*More than HALF of all new Internet connections are from mobile “smartphones”… and…
* These 5 billion cell phone owners… 51 million+ smartphone surfers… are carrying these pocket-size computers around with them around the clock!
* (get this: 91% of Americans keep their cell phone within three feet of them 24/7… and about a third of people with a cell phone would rather be without their wallet than their phone!)
* Think about it: If you timed out how much of the day you spent with your cell phone vs. sitting at your computer… it wouldn't even be close, would it?
* (Yet most marketers have no clue how to market to people who aren't glued to a desktop PC!)
A critical key is to make sure you do it in a way that will not be perceived by the recipient as annoying or an intrusion. The way it works is you purchase an advertising block of a fixed amount. A $50 advertising block is typical when it comes to marketing via cell phones. Your message about the product you found at ClickBank gets sent to tens of thousands of cell phone owners. You only pay something when the user "clicks" on your advertisement. A very small amount of about 5 or so cents per click.
Here is something to consider. Most of the items on ClickBank will pay you a commission amount of between $22-$55. Let us say 1 out of every 100 phone owners who clicks on your ad buys the product. At 5 cents a click your total cost for a sale is $5. Even for a $22 product sale your STILL making a $17 profit. Even if only 1 in 200 people who click on your cell phone ad buy your still making a decent profit.
There is a FANTASTIC program, Mobile Monopoly, teaches you exactly, step by step, with 18 videos how to make money with mobile phones. It is the next generation for marketers. For more information on Mobile Monopoly you may CLICK HERE NOW
To your success,Mobile Monopoly,

Review: Is The "Numis Graded Silver & Gold" Coin Opportunity a Scam? Accumulate & Collect True Wealth with Numis | by Lloyd Dobson
This article may be a little different than others you've read reviewing the Numis opportunity.You are most likely reading this article because you are interested in making some extra money on the internet. You are doing a smart thing simply because the internet is a billion dollar industry. Do not be discouraged by the "naysayers" saying you can't make money online. Don't listen to them. The truth is they have no idea what they are doing. Most marketers lack some very basic training and marketing strategies stopping them from success.You most likely ran across the Numis opportunity and want to know if it's a scam, here's my input on it.
Coins are cool! This is the operating slogan of Numis Network, an MLM business that deals with coin collectibles. People who collect coins as a hobby are sure to take notice of this business. Here's a Numis Network review that will take you through the pros and cons of the MLM opportunity.
Introduction
Gold and silver are recession resistant commodities. You'd have noticed the rise in prices of precious metals even when world economies were reeling under financial crisis. This was the idea behind creating the Numis network; a business that deals in numismatic coins.
The Numis Network was started by Ian Cordell, Christopher Kent and Jake Kevorkian with support from Mike Mezack, a noted numismatist. The three founders have vast experience in network marketing and their leadership is one of the major assets of this company.
What Is It About?
Collecting coins has been a treasured hobby for many people who know that the value of such coins keep increasing with time. Numis Network has introduced the system of grading to authenticate collectible coins and assist in ascertaining their value. The merchandise in this business is modern gold and silver coins issued by various Government mints from all over the world.
Since the value of these precious metals keep increasing, these are said to be valuable assets to hold. The coins are marketed as a worthwhile investment to hold as well as to gift.
The Opportunity
There are two ways to make money in this business; one is to invest in graded coins and wait till they appreciate in value. Another is to become a partner in the business and spread the word to other coin collectors.
Costs
You can become a distributor by paying an initial cost of $99 and thereafter $9.95 per month. In this category, you'll need to generate minimum sales of $100 each month to qualify for commissions. You can also become a Fast Track representative by paying initial fee of $495 and $99 per month. This package entitles you to a beginner pack, a Silver Eagle collectible coin, training videos, lead management and marketing programs and email marketing campaign.
A Binary commission system is followed; this allows even beginners to make money on par with experienced distributors.
Why Join Numis Network?
This is an MLM business with a difference. While most other network marketers sell health drinks or cosmetics; you'd be improving the financial health of your customers by selling coins. While stocking up on health products may prove disadvantageous in those businesses, you'd only gaining by keeping a stock of coins as these appreciate in value over time.
Drawbacks
The company lays a lot of emphasis on grading coins to authenticate their value; however experts feel graded coins should be placed at par in value with non-graded coins. The fact that they are graded alone does not make these coins greater in value.
Competition
XAG Network - This is an upcoming network marketing company that deals in silver Bullion coins. The cost of joining this company is much cheaper than Numis since it's very new. The MLM Company has a 5 x 8 matrix which offers good scope of income for distributors. Being in pre-launch until June 2010 there is not much to say until the company goes live. With bullion there is little room for markup and if the market crashes so does the company.
Silver Coin Reserve - This is a gold and silver coins acquisition program that allows members to invest in silver bullion coins on a monthly basis.

Coins are cool! This is the operating slogan of Numis Network, an MLM business that deals with coin collectibles. People who collect coins as a hobby are sure to take notice of this business. Here's a Numis Network review that will take you through the pros and cons of the MLM opportunity.
Introduction
Gold and silver are recession resistant commodities. You'd have noticed the rise in prices of precious metals even when world economies were reeling under financial crisis. This was the idea behind creating the Numis network; a business that deals in numismatic coins.
The Numis Network was started by Ian Cordell, Christopher Kent and Jake Kevorkian with support from Mike Mezack, a noted numismatist. The three founders have vast experience in network marketing and their leadership is one of the major assets of this company.
What Is It About?
Collecting coins has been a treasured hobby for many people who know that the value of such coins keep increasing with time. Numis Network has introduced the system of grading to authenticate collectible coins and assist in ascertaining their value. The merchandise in this business is modern gold and silver coins issued by various Government mints from all over the world.
Since the value of these precious metals keep increasing, these are said to be valuable assets to hold. The coins are marketed as a worthwhile investment to hold as well as to gift.
The Opportunity
There are two ways to make money in this business; one is to invest in graded coins and wait till they appreciate in value. Another is to become a partner in the business and spread the word to other coin collectors.
Costs
You can become a distributor by paying an initial cost of $99 and thereafter $9.95 per month. In this category, you'll need to generate minimum sales of $100 each month to qualify for commissions. You can also become a Fast Track representative by paying initial fee of $495 and $99 per month. This package entitles you to a beginner pack, a Silver Eagle collectible coin, training videos, lead management and marketing programs and email marketing campaign.
A Binary commission system is followed; this allows even beginners to make money on par with experienced distributors.
Why Join Numis Network?
This is an MLM business with a difference. While most other network marketers sell health drinks or cosmetics; you'd be improving the financial health of your customers by selling coins. While stocking up on health products may prove disadvantageous in those businesses, you'd only gaining by keeping a stock of coins as these appreciate in value over time.
Drawbacks
The company lays a lot of emphasis on grading coins to authenticate their value; however experts feel graded coins should be placed at par in value with non-graded coins. The fact that they are graded alone does not make these coins greater in value.
Competition
XAG Network - This is an upcoming network marketing company that deals in silver Bullion coins. The cost of joining this company is much cheaper than Numis since it's very new. The MLM Company has a 5 x 8 matrix which offers good scope of income for distributors. Being in pre-launch until June 2010 there is not much to say until the company goes live. With bullion there is little room for markup and if the market crashes so does the company.
Silver Coin Reserve - This is a gold and silver coins acquisition program that allows members to invest in silver bullion coins on a monthly basis. Bullion type coins fluctuate with the price of the market. Network marketing is based on word of mouth and having a built in charge to pay for sales and team development. When one can exactly see what the silver and gold is valued at there is very little room to price products to pay reps.

Declarations Will Help You Design Your Ideal Day
We all use language every day in many different ways. We use it to not only describe our world but also design it. And when we do we are using one or more linguistic acts. When Martin Luther King Jr. stated: 'I have a dream.....' When John F. Kennedy stated: 'We will put a man on the moon by....' They declared with those words new possibilities; a new destiny. They used a declaration, which is future focused language to cause what previously did not exist to exist. When you state: 'I will become a...' and: 'I love you...' and perhaps latter: 'I do...' You declare a new possibility. You literally use language to design a different future. Language is powerful and of all the linguistic acts declarations are the most powerful.
And this has an impact on how we set goals. Many people have goals that remain goals forever. Why is that so? Generally it's because their goals aren't expressed clearly and concisely. What many think are goals are really just dreams with little hope of realization. However don't despair here's how you can change that. A certain magic occurs whenever you place pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, and make a declaration that describes how you intend your life to be. As a result your thoughts will become real.
If I asked you to describe your ideal day right now, could you? Many could not. And this is a problem because it's only when we can describe our desired life in detail that out nonconscious mind can create it. Responding with something vague such as; I want to be wealthy someday; doesn't give your mind a definite target to aim for. How do you define wealthy? Is it $50,000, $500,000 or $5,000,000? And when is someday? Is it this month, this year or ten years?
To leverage the possibility of living the life you want, you must first declare exactly how you wish your life to be. Your ideal day should stimulate your imagination; it should be exciting and evocative. You get to write anything you'd like. Don't limit your ideas. Is it possible for you to......? Yes it is, and that's all your mind needs to know. Don't worry about how you will make it a reality. Your non-conscious mind will work on that. Just concentrate on the what, and the why, and allow your non-conscious mind to create the how. So now set aside an hour of undisturbed time with no distractions and develop your ideal day.
Step 1: You can use a pen and paper or type. I prefer to type because it makes editing easier. As you live your life; your vision of your ideal day will change. It's perfectly normal that it should evolve as you do.
Step 2: Start from the time you awake, and paint a vivid word picture of your day. Describe your partner and family; how and where you work, your home and it's décor; your health and daily routine. Describe your day in intimate detail. With this exercise you are literally creating your future. You declare yourself as you want to be, where and how you want to live, who you want to share your life with, and how you will earn your income. Crafting your ideal day infuses emotion into your view of the life you wish to lead. This provides momentum and motivation and causes your mind to shift your beliefs and behaviors and create it as your reality. The more emotion you evoke, the more it will impact your non-conscious mind.
Step 3: Once a week, set time aside to review and rewrite your ideal day. As you do develop your day in more detail, and invest your thoughts with even more emotion and enthusiasm. Whenever your mind discerns a difference between your inner and outer worlds, internal tension is created. This tension triggers your nonconscious mind to provide you with ideas, opportunities, and motivation, and as a result it will instinctively move to align your inner and outer worlds.
As you regularly revisit this process you can make whatever alterations you wish. Changes will occur over time, and things that were previously important may become less important. You will know what to change when what you're reading doesn't resonate anymore. Declaring how your life will be is one of the most dramatic things you can do to generate profound change. It causes you to think about what's most important and how you want your world to be. So start now; describe your ideal day.
To Your Success,
Lloyd Dobson

Sustain Your Success In Life With a Strong Character
Often in life we observe someone emerge from obscurity to achieve great success. They flash across the firmament like a shooting star, only to then crash and burn. Why is that so? Often it's because their talent isn't underpinned by strong character. Ability can take you to the top in any endeavor, but only character that will keep you there.
Outstanding character is more important than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not a given, it's not set in stone but is a construct, built on the foundation of our beliefs. And it changes over time based on what it is we give our attention to. Character therefore can be both de-constructed and also re-constructed. It is built brick by brick, by daily attention to our thoughts, our choices, with courage, and determination.
So what exactly is character? Our character is comprised of the collective mental and moral qualities that distinguish us as an individual. It's our ability to follow through with a commitment we make to ourselves. It's the sum total of the choices we make every day. Our character today is as a result of past choices. Our character tomorrow will be a result of today's choices. Our choices and our character will be inevitably and eventually congruent. To change our character, we must simply change our choices. Because day by day, what we think, what we chose, and what we do is who we become.
Although there will always be differences of opinion as to what constitutes character, some traits appear to be universal. A recent survey found that truthfulness, compassion, freedom, responsibility, and reverence for life were considered the most important traits. From a practical perspective, the world could not function properly if responsibility and truthfulness did not exist. A person of character has behaviors that display both respect and integrity.
The definitions of character are all to do with action or behavior and our character is revealed through our behavior. In contrast to a belief or attitude which isn't the same as an action. We may think one way, but act another. People behave in certain ways because they possess a particular philosophy, and we can observe their philosophy by observing their behavior.
Often the most important aspects of our character are developed in adversity. Just like the best timber which comes from the strongest trees; those that have been buffeted by the wind, and tested by the elements, such that the tension creates fine close grained timber much prized by artisans and artists.
I prize his poem but unfortunately I cannot reference the author. It's titled: The common law of Life.
The tree that never had to fight: for sun and sky and air and light. But stood out in the open plain: And always got its share of rain; will never become a forest king. But will live and die a spindly thing.
The man who never had to learn to toil; to gain and work his patch of soil. Who never had to win his share; of sun and sky and light and air. Never became an inspiring man; but lived and died as he began.
Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger the wind the stronger the trees. The higher the sky the longer the length: the more the storm the more the strength. Through sun and cold by rain and snow; in both trees and men good timbers grow.
Where thickest is the forest growth. We find the patriarchs of both. And they hold counsel with the stars. Whose broken branches show the scars; of many winds and much of strife; this is the common law of life.
Welcome adversity, learn and apply its lessons; they will help you develop a strong character, one that will sustain you in your journey through life.
To your success,
