*** QUOTES OF THE WEEK ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who is the happiest of men?  He who values the merits of others, and in their pleasure takes joy, even as though t'were his own. - Johann von Goethe, 1749-1832, German Poet, Dramatist, Novelist

You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing. -Dale Carnegie {1888-1955 American Author & Achievement Expert}

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm   looking  for the truth.' and so it goes away. Puzzling. - Robert M. Pirsig, American Author

** THE TOP 10 THINGS to do WHEN YOU CAN'T GET MOTIVATED **
----------------------------------------------------
 
1. Take a minivacation from everything, even if you can only squeeze out eight hours of time.
If you can't get motivated, maybe it's time to take some time for yourself and pamper yourself a little bit.
 
2. Go to bed an hour early that night so you can catch up on your rest.  Or take a nap.
A majority of Americans are sleep deprived. Plentiful rest is essential to your effectiveness and your motivation levels.
 
3. Figure out what you're putting up with that's sapping your energy and deal with it permanently, i.e., "Zap" a toleration.
 
4. Get some exercise.  Start with a ten minute walk and see how you feel after that.
Exercise will give you energy and clear your head. And if you're having trouble motivating yourself to exercise, then promise yourself you'll quit after ten minutes--usually your endorphins will kick in, and you'll want to continue to exercise.
 
5. Review your goals, and throw out the ones you don't really want. You can always pick them back up again later, if you want them.
 
6. Turn whatever it is that you can't get motivated about into a game.
Get a calendar and some star or smiley face stickers, and use a sticker every day that you exercise/eat right/get enough rest/make enough sales calls.
 
7. Hire someone to handle whatever it is that you can't get yourself to do.
A personal trainer to motivate you to exercise, a maid to clean your house, a coach to help you set up action plans and goals that you'll enjoy reaching.
 
 8. Listen to some motivational music.
The theme song to Rocky is a good one to get your emotional state changed. Any music that you enjoy and that is fairly high energy should do the trick--think aerobics class, not honky tonk.
 
9. Listen to your favorite motivational tapes.
I like Tony Robbins, Steven Covey, and Brian Tracy.
 
10. Ask your boss, spouse, coach, or best friend for a pep talk--and be sure that they are unconditionally constructive with you. You don't need to be brow-beaten into action. That's emotionally expensive and rarely effective.

Catalog Company - Lean and Green and making a difference   
"-.The company's headquarters in the Portland suburb of Hillsboro was one of Oregon's first "green" buildings when it was completed in 1993. Recycled materials were used whenever possible in the construction. The lobby floor is made from Philippine Apitong wood salvaged from decommissioned railroad boxcars. The "stone" walls are actually a mix of cement powder and crushed beer bottle or windshield glass. Ceiling tiles in the meeting rooms are constructed from recycled newspaper and phone books. Even the paint used is recycled primer."

"About 390,000 people, the vast majority children, undergo tonsillectomies each year. It's recommended for chronic throat infections, considered six in a single season or four to five infections a year for several years.  Yet surgeons say unlike in previous decades, half to three-fourths of today's operations are not for infections but for obstructive sleep apnea. That disorder causes short stops in breathing when something blocks airflow during sleep. In kids, the blockage often is large tonsils; adult apnea usually has other causes."
