Terrible At Choosing Gifts?

Written by A Heath


Continued from page 1

Notice we said "important to your recipient", not "important to you". Gift giving is not about you. It's about them. Some people tend to forget that and end up giving a gift that they would like themselves.

Another tip: If you are an important person inrepparttar recipient's life, a gift that involves giving of your time is usually appreciated. For example, if you've been working a lot and haven't had much time to spend with your spouse, for your anniversary, consider giving a weekend getaway together.

That in itself is a good example of examining a person's life or situation and turning it into a great gift idea. The situation is: your spouse hasn't hadrepparttar 101297 quality time with you that he/she deserves. The gift is: a weekend getaway together.

It's a simple concept really. Create your own help with gifts: take a look at who you are giving to and try to understandrepparttar 101298 circumstances of their life. Then find a gift that fits! Put that brain of yours to work to findrepparttar 101299 perfect gift! And don't forget to use your heart, too. That's whererepparttar 101300 ALL ofrepparttar 101301 really good gifts come from. :)

We hope this help with gifts and gift giving has been... well... helpful!

4. Multi-tasking is an oxymoron. Don’t be intimidated by colleagues who do five things at once. Studies on “Attentional Blink” show that we don’t actually do more than one thing at a time. We switch our attention rapidly between projects. A one man band plays many instruments passably but none well. Better to be a maestro than a journeyman.

5. You don’t deserve anything you have. See # 2. Entitlement is a very unattractive quality. No matter how hard you worked or how much you planned you were never in control ofrepparttar outcome of your efforts. God and luck andrepparttar 101296 support of others, along with your own hard work, played big parts.

6.You’re ordinary. Relax it’s a compliment. Ordinary people are reliable, industrious and consistent . Superstars are a pain inrepparttar 101297 rear especially when they read their own press. Who would you rather call at 2 AM when your car breaks down - Tony Robbins or your brother-in-law Al? Imaginerepparttar 101298 ride home.

7. You’re not a victim you’re a volunteer. (Unless we’re talking about a trainwreck or a typhoid epidemic). The old saw about nobody being able to take advantage of you without your permission is true. If you don’t want something to happen in your life don’t set it up inrepparttar 101299 first place.

8.You’re right. Life isn’t fair. But it’s always interesting and instructive if you keep an open mind.

9.There is no meantime. No place where time stands still and standards are lowered and second best is good enough. There’s only now. What are you going to do now?

10. Gratefulness is second to Godliness. Cleanliness is waaay downrepparttar 101300 list. Get down on your knees and look at your life. Oh,repparttar 101301 places you’ll go!
