Small Improvements
Posted: Apr 10, 2012
Small improvements
Small improvements matter, because they can add up to big changes. If you add just one percent to your efforts each day, day after day, in only seventy days your effectiveness will double.
Small improvements are easy to make, and they can make a big difference. The key is to keep making them, to continue improving on the improvements.
Are you frustrated because you’re not as effective as you’d like to be? You can begin to change that right now, and put an end to your frustration.
Accept that you can’t instantly get all the way to maximum effectiveness. Yet you can very realistically make one small, easy improvement after another.
Don’t worry about how you will get a whole lot better. Just find a way, right now, to get a little bit better.
Make a small, easily accessible improvement, and then make another, and another. Soon, you’ll be much further ahead than you ever could have imagined.

All are entitled to their own opinion. I am of the opinion that there is plenty of negativity around and though life's circumstances may not be rosy, there is always room for positivity!

Small MT Company May Have To CloseJan 04, 2010
A wonderful small MT company in my town will soon be faced with closing if the Health Care Reform bill is passed. She does not provide health insurance for her MTs but pays them well enough that they can afford their own (14 cpl). She cannot afford health insurance for them because her group is too small for any significant discounts. If the Health Care Reform passes which states that employers who do not provide health insurance will be fined/taxed $750 per employee, this MT c ...

What Small Car Owners Should Know About Car InsuranceApr 14, 2015
Americans are known around the world for their love of big cars. Many wouldn’t be caught dead behind the wheel of one of those little cars you’re more likely to see on the streets in Europe. But as gas prices continue to climb higher and more Americans become concerned with the environmental impact of larger, less fuel-efficient cars, small cars are starting to grow in popularity even here. What many haven’t considered is that smaller cars tend to have a lower safety rating. For example in ...
Update RE: Favoritism In A Small Town.Sep 26, 2011
Well, after I blew off steam here. I decided to keep my mouth shut. No telling anyone off or mouthing off in the stands. I had very nicely asked the coach if there was anything my DD needed to work on to be able to be a flyer and I decided to just leave it at that. I decided that I would alienate my daughter more by running my mouth and I decided nothing would change anyway. So I threw up my hands in futility and swallowed my anger which was EXTREMELY difficult! Fa ...

Small Lesion On Breast, How ConcernedOct 19, 2009
I just had a mammogram in March of this year, everything fine. I noticed a slightly bigger than pencil eraser size reddish lesion on 1 margin of my breast day before yesterday. I have had other skin lesions and made visits to the dermatologist as recent as about 2 months ago, had seborrheic dermatitis on my face, also notice sometimes I have like a red, itching place on the upper groin.

How Do You Handle Favoritism In A Small Town?!?Sep 20, 2011
I moved to this very small town 5 years ago, and I have noticed that favoritism, who you know, how much money you have, etc. plays a HUGE part in kids sports, school activities, town activities, etc. Now, I'm not one of those mothers who thinks that my children are the best at everything they do and deserve to be the star all of the time. Also I have seen it happen to other kids that aren't my own and I've heard other parents complaining about among themselves whilst s ...
Obamacare Working For Small BusinessJan 20, 2011
More Small Businesses Offering Health Care To Employees Thanks To Obamacare Jan. 6 2011 - 2:18 pm By RICK UNGAR The first statistics are coming in and, to the surprise of a great many, Obamacare might just be working to bring health care to working Americans precisely as promised. The major health insurance companies around the country are reporting a significant increase in small businesses offering health care benefits to their employees. Why? Because the tax cut created in the new heal ...

Questions For Parents With Small ChildrenJun 20, 2011
Do you children (maybe around 4 years old) cry a lot? We have a neighbor who has a little girl and she is always crying - and I mean always. I don't think we've ever heard longer than a half hour without her crying. She's playing with other kids and she cries, she's in the swimming pool and she's crying, eating crying, etc, etc. Since I never had kids or friends who had kids I don't know if this is normal. Just was curious. ...

This would be in the country, possibly right outside of or on the outskirts of a small town, farming communities. Its about 30 minutes from several larger cities and suburbs of Chicago, so lots of diversity in incomes living close but affordable to purchase. I would love to have a small house, the white picket fence, a few small outbuildings to fix up and maybe do a big garden, etc. I was just wondering if anyone has suggestions as to what kind of income could be had ...

It seems that federal officials have worked overtime to undermine public trust. Benghazi, the IRS abuses, the “fast and furious” gun-running fiasco, the solar power boondoggles, and the seemingly endless implementation problems of the Affordable Care Act—all these scandals have common themes: arrogant and abusive bureaucracy, double dealing, lame excuses, and legal hairsplitting.

I Took In A Little Male Dog. He's A Small Dog With Tons Of Energy And Spirit.Jan 03, 2012
Here's my problem. He is the worst dog ever! He knocks over the trash cans and gets into the trash, he hikes his leg on everything from my bed, to my couch, to who knows what. He hates my cat. He barks at every thing. And to top it all off, he has become very attached to my daughter to the point that he wants to sleep with her which is an absolute no. However, he manages to slip into her room at night and when I try to remove him from the bed, he becomes ...
I Need A Dry Dog Food For My Small Dog That Is Soft With Smallish Chunks.Oct 06, 2011
I haven't had her for long. I adopted her from some redneck looking people who were trying to pass her off as a puppy in the Wal-Mart parking lot. She just looked so sad, and I just had to take her. She's not a puppy. The vet said she's at least three years old. Anyway, I bought kibble and bits and I noticed she roots around in the bowl and eats all the chewy bits. She will eventually eat the kibble, but it seems like it is too big and too ...
Has Anyone Ever Fought Debt Fees In Small Claims?Jul 14, 2010
Around 3 years ago I had a credit card that I put a pair of tires put on (about $180). I then promptly essentially lost my job and had a series of job hopping over the next year, going through about five jobs, none of them living up to their lofty promise of easy platform and lots of work. In keeping the soap opera-esque quality, I was also dating an alcoholic at that time, and after I lost my job I moved in with him so I could save on electricity, internet, cable, telephone, etc.&nb ...

Small Towns Watch Aging Hospitals ShutterMar 05, 2016

People have lost jobs, stores have closed, seniors have to travel hundreds of miles for health care. What has become of this country? More than 50 rural hospitals have closed since 2010 (during Okingme's reign) as well as many more community hospitals throughout the land. ...

Guess Who Blocked The Paid For Small Business Lending BillJul 29, 2010
Wanna know why? Because extension of expiring tax breaks for the rich (estate tax on amounts greater than $1 million) were not included, so they threw a hissy. Every time Reid offered compromises on other amendments, GOP demands changed (sound familiar?). Now lets see here, true colors shown on this would be anti-small business, anti-tax breaks for anyone who is not rich and anti-jobs creation. Nice job. Oh, lest we forget. Their objections did ...
