that blue eyes

Filed under: Stories

A beautiful story for this quiet evening…

 

One day, a girl rented a room, confused why the next room is noisy even though there is no one renting it…

 

She tried to sneak but all shee can see was blue color..

 

She asked the janitor about it. The janitor explained that there was once a girl who died in that same room a year ago.

Suddenly he added: "One thing you can notice on her is she has blue eyes".

Rest well…

Confronting Drug Addiction

Filed under: Stories


Drug intervention has been a usual attempt by a skilled professional counselor or a group of friends, family or co-workers to confront a drug addict toward recovery. Others may see it painful and embarrassing. This may be also critical for drug addicts who deny they have a problem.

 

These are but some of the steps to Drug Intervention.

 

Step #1: You don’t Rescue the Addict

Friends and family members should not protect the addict from the consequences of his behavior by making excuses about his addiction or getting him out of trouble. He may be more motivated to stop using drugs if he himself will experience the consequences.

 

Step #3: Don’t be an Enabler

Family member should be careful enough not to reward the addict by paying his bills, bailing him out of the jail, letting him stay for free or ignoring his behavior.

 

Step #4: Find the Right Time

If there will be a chance, select a time to talk with the addict. The entire intervention party should be calm and they can speak privately with each other.

 

Step #5: Find Strength in Numbers

The support of each other to the addict should be in group and select one to become a spokesperson. The idea is that to make safe for him to come clean and seek help.

 

Step #6: Be Honest

Telling the addict that you are concerned about his drug addiction and want to support him when he gets help would be a great inspiration. Support your concern with examples of the ways in which his drug use has caused problems for you, including any recent incidents.

 

Step #6: State the Consequences

You must tell the addict that you will leave him to the consequences of his behavior and will no longer bail him out until he gets help. You are only protecting yourself from the harmful effects of his addiction. You’re not punishing the addict.

 

Step #7: Listen

If the addict asks questions regarding possible treatment, you must pay attention. These are signs that the addict is reaching for your help.

 

Step #8: Be Prepared

Be ready if the addict is ready to take the action. If the addict decides to go the rehab, you must work immediately to get him admitted. Prior to the intervention, you must pack him things, make travel arrangements and ensure that he has acceptance for the program.

 

Step #9: Don’t Give Up

Don’t give up if the addict refuses help. You must be supportive and don’t enable or allow his behavior. Just be ready when the addict reaches for your help.

 

Step #10: Find a Good Rehab Center

Find a center that effectively treats alcohol, drug and substance abuse beyond the initial cleansing of the system.

 

This decision to get involved in a drug rehab program is not an easy one to make.

With the dedication of the addict to get well and the help of drug rehabilitation programs and addiction treatment professionals, the recovery process can be realized and achieved.

 

After deciding to go to the rehab, this is followed by drug detoxification. The body’s reaction to the removal of a substance it has become dependent on is called withdrawal. Withdrawal causes craving for more of the substance being removed. This is the process for a period of time when the body is trying to overcome its addiction. Detox is the first step in overcoming a substance addiction such as drugs or alcohol. Detox is a pertinent step for the patient is to be successfully rehabilitated.

Philippines in 19th Century

Filed under: My Experiences

For administrative purposes, the Philippines was divided into provinces and special districts. The provinces were known as alcaldias, each governed by an alcalde mayor. The special districts, representing unpacified regions, were known as corregimientos, each under a corregidor, usually an army officer.
The alcalde mayor of the province exercised both executive and judicial functions. He received a low salary, but his office was lucrative because of his privilege to engage in trade. This privilege was greatly abused so that it was abolished by law in 1844. Finally, in 1886, the alcalde mayor was made simply a judge, and a civil governor was appointed chief executive of the province.
The provinces were divided into pueblos (towns). Each pueblo was administered by a gobernadorcillo (petty governor). He was popularly called capitan and his wife, capitana. At first, he was elected annually byu all married males of the town; later, in the 19th century, he was elected by 13 electors headed by the outgoing gobernadorcillo. Other town officials besides the gobernadorcillo were the teniente mayor (chief lieutenant), juez de sementeras (justice of the fields), juez de ganados (justice of cattle), juez de policia (justice of police) and the directorcilla (municipal secretary).
Spain introduced the European system of education in the Philippines the first schools to be established were parochial schools, with the Spanish missionaries as teachers. Filipino children were taught the catholic doctrine, the three R’s (reading, writing and arithmetic), music and various arts and trades.

JIM PICCOLO: Vision on business

Filed under: My Experiences


Great men and women set goals, dreams and envisions becoming “someone”. My mother is a real estate agent here in our locality a few weeks ago. It is new to me about real estate business since I don’t have much idea about having or looking for a home of my own. With this perception, I kept on searching on the net about real estate until I read about a successful entrepreneur on this business, Jim Piccolo. He has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Nouveau Riche having the idea of creating real estate investors one at a time. The company was conceived in a living room with Dolf De Roos, and follows principles taught by Robert Kiyosaki.

 

Nouveau Riche was started in November 2002 by Jim Piccolo in Australia and New Zealand. In December 2002, the corporate headquarters were established in Scottsdale, AZ. The name was changed to Nouveau Riche University in 2005 after review by the ACE, under his management.

 

Every small business began with a dream a vision to take. It is a business plan of varying degrees of complexity, and a lot of hard work. I realized that some business owners are still working in the business and not on the business. As what I appreciated on this idea, it’s time to build your company to the next level. As what Jim Piccolo envisions a unique arrangement of business leadership, knowledge, vision and philosophy. Piccolo thus believes in building relationships and treating people fairly and with respect. As what we could apply based on his success business owners and higher ranks should let their employees have their wings and let them fly. Put your trust in your employees. They won’t let you down. You already know that mistakes can lead to success, so you no longer fear failure. You have begun the journey to constant growth and success.

Work on business, and not in it.

How to Become Rich

Filed under: My Experiences

Do you know Hiroshi Yamauchi? Hiroshi Yamauchi born November 7, 1927 in Kyoto is a Japanese businessman. He was the third president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. beginning in 1949 until stepping down on May 31, 2002. Yamauchi is credited with transforming Nintendo from a small hanafuda card making company in Japan to the multi-billion dollar video game company that it is today. Yamauchi was succeeded at Nintendo by Satoru Iwata. Yamauchi also became the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners baseball team in 1992, which is now managed by former Nintendo of America chairman, Howard Lincoln.  

Do you want to become rich someday just like Hiroshi Yamauchi? There are many people labeled as Nouveau Riche. Denotatively speaking, nouveau riche is a French term for "new rich", or new money. It refers to persons who acquire wealth within their generation. It is generally used to emphasize that the persons were previously part of a lower economic or social class, and that the acquisition of wealth has provided the ability to do or to have things that were previously out of their reach.

I have read an article saying there are many ways to become nouveau riche, but many more to become poor. Of course it’s usually not easy and many quick methods involve a lot of risk. I list the steps on becoming rich according to that article. Here it is.
