Don Imus, a shock jock (someone who shocks their listening audience by saying outrageous statements), was fired from his jobs on WCBS radio and MSNBC television for crossing the line of decency and making racist and sexist remarks regarding the Rutgers University women's basketball team. From a team building and employee motivational point of view, there are tidbits of motivational wisdom to be learned from this situation.
First, let me ask you, how many "Don Imuses" do you have in your organization, your team, or your department? You know what I mean, the employees, whether they are women or male employees, who continuously cross the line when it comes to behavior; perhaps being overbearing or the bully at work. They make insensitive comments without respect for other people's feelings, and then say the following when you discuss their conduct:
"I'm just being me."
"That's just the way I am."
"I was just playing."
"I didn't hurt anybody."
"Oh, you're just too sensitive."
"Can't
Are you creating your foundation of success? Are you motivated to take on challenges that others are not willing to do? The following is a story of someone who did and achieved great success in his life and how you can, too!
There once was a young man who grew up in Crawford, Mississippi. His father worked as a brick mason building home foundations. Everyday after school and during the summers, this young man would help his father build foundations. It's not the most glamorous job by any stretch of the imagination, but it's an honest, backbreaking, and low paying job that put food on the table and paid the bills. The father would start by throwing bricks towards the son in the area where they would build a housing foundation. Under the hot, sweltering Mississippi sun, his son would catch brick after brick with his hands, day after day. While most other kids were enjoying their summers or working in less strenuous jobs, this young man was motivated to work long and hard with hi

Welcome back readers! I am going to let you in on what I've been doing since Thursday Feb 2. I've been building lots of quality backlinks. I've decided to work on getting a nice, quick PR5. Why? Well, before I answer that question let me talk a little bit about how people have different feelings on the PR subject. Some people think that chasing a quick PR5 is rather foolish. These folks have a special disliking for the google page rank system but they do have some valid points. Many feel that your time is better spent just creating good quality content and working to increase your traffic and subsequently sales. This line of thinking goes something like this: if you buy a whole bunch of links from PR6 sites and you end up with an inflated PR, does that give you any more visitors? No, it doesn't. So instead these folks usually advise the traditional approach of article submission (which is a good thing) as well as building links. The difference is that instead of focusing on PR, focus

Stick this one firmly in the rumor category, since all the verbiage that’s been thrown around about this story still traces back to one single source: a slightly ill-informed article done up in MarketingWeek in the UK.

Al Qaeda is building a white army of terror in the United Kingdom, according to the U.K.'s Scotland on Sunday.According to a source at MI5 — the British equivalent of the CIA — 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam with the purpose of funding, planning, and carrying out surprise terror attacks, the newspaper reported.Security experts say the growing number of white terrorists poses a serious threat because they are less likely to be detected than members of the Asian community.Terror groups like Al Qaeda reportedly began recruiting white non-Muslims in response to the success intelligence services have had in disrupting and stopping extremist plots around the world.One reported strategy the terrorists use is to look for converts in prisons, where those in custody tend to be lonely and particularly susceptible. Recruiters comfort and support the inmate, with little mention — if any — to religion, according to the paper. Over time, conversations turn more ra

Many people will wonder from the start, "Why would anyone want to even consider bodybuilding over 40 years old?" Well, you might be surprised to learn that a great many people over 40 are already into bodybuilding. Some actually compete in bodybuilding competitions in special age categories. Many, some in their 70's and 80's have traveled around the world to demonstrate what bodybuilding over 40 can accomplish.One thing to remember is that in addition to being a form of competition in which bodybuilders push the limits in terms of exercise and nutrition, it is at a lower level, just a great exercise program for people of all ages. In fact, many organizations concerned with health are actively recommending bodybuilding styles of training for people in their 80's or even 90's! Studies again and again demonstrate that bodybuilding over 40 is an excellent method for improving strength and condition at any age, not to mention the other effects of weight loss, improved immune system fun
India has undergone many dam projects as have many other developing countries. Foreign investment, flood control, irrigation canals, and energy production are the cited reasons for dam construction but critics claim that the devastation to the human population living in the flood zones and the ecological damage, as well as statistics stating historical dam projects provide significantly less energy output as expected, encourage extreme resistance to dam construction.In India, massive protests in the form of hunger strikes, and donations of book royalties from famous Indian writer Arundhati Roy* keep this debate in the news.Book Review: "Power Politics", 2001, author Arundhati Roy, Indian female writer (also author of famous novel "The God of Small Things"This book is a series of essays exploring water dam building and energy production in India, political response to September 11, 2001 in expectation of a U.S. war with Afghanistan, and free speech.One essay from the book is called "The

CAIRO (Reuters) - The death toll from the collapse of a 12-storey residential building in Egypt's Mediterranean city of Alexandria rose to 11 on Tuesday after authorities dug six more bodies out of the ruins, security sources said. Army rescue teams have joined efforts to search for survivors in the rubble, which is thought to have buried 25-30 people. Rescue workers have extracted at least two survivors from the rubble since the collapse, security sources said. The state news agency MENA gave the figure as three. The building disintegrated on Monday as construction workers carried out repairs on the first floor. It was constructed as a seven-storey building in 1982 without a permit, authorities said. The owner obtained a permit later but then illegally added five more storeys. A source on a panel of experts formed by the government to investigate the collapse said on Monday preliminary findings suggested the causes were shoddy building materials and insufficient use of steel r

Many of us find it difficult to drive along mountain roads in cold weather. But give a thought to those who are engaged in building and maintaining them – the men of the Border Roads Organisation. The Border Roads Organisation, manned by the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army, have constructed roads along the border, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir and in the north-east for over four decades. One of the toughest assignments they have had had is the construction of the road from Srinagar to Leh and beyond to the India-China Border. They constructed the road to Khardung La at an altitude of over 5,600 metres (18,300 feet) above sea-level. The road is the second highest motorable point on earth. While the road was built decades ago, the Border Roads Organisation has to maintain it to keep it motorable for the Army convoys, engaged in transporting supplies to our troops in Siachen. The work, at times, involves clearing 12 feet high snow layers
When building your own website there are a few things to consider. If you know nothing about web design, you will need to pay someone to design it exactly the way you want. Make sure you use a reputable source so you are not wasting your money. Be very picky about choosing your domain name. Make sure it is short, sweet and memorable. One popular site you can visit to check what domains are available. This is also a good site to see who owns a particular domain you are interested. If the owner is not using the domain, you can offer to purchase it from them. Probably one of the most important factors in an internet company is choosing a very good web host. If your web site goes down, you are completely out of business. When searching for a web host company make sure they have secure server capabilities, fast servers, lots of space, unrestricted CGI access, SSH and FTP access, web-based administration, access to raw server logs, full email services, power and daily server b

Once you start building your real estate business, finding opportunities and potential deals, you're going to realize you can not do it all on your own, and even if you could you would still be better off delegating these tasks anyway.One of the biggest mistakes beginning investors make is they try and do everything themselves or use the wrong people in the process. They think, "I will get my first deal done and once I make some money, then I will build a team". Unfortunately, what usually happens is they get stuck trying to learn and do everything in a limited amount of time, then get discouraged by either getting no results, getting scammed or burned from doing it wrong then ultimately giving up.It is important to understand you need to work smarter not harder. This is the only way to run a successful real estate business. Not only will this make it more profitable but also more enjoyable!Though you will not need everyone for every strategy you are focusing on, here are the top ten y

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) plans on launching a new program for it's members at at the 2008 International Builders’ Show in Orlando on February 14th. This program will "link dozens of successful state and local voluntary green building programs with a national online scoring tool for builders and verifiers. It also will provide a registry of green homes and green builders as well as extensive educational resources." .NAMB surveyed it's members earlier this year and found that 90% were interested in a voluntary green building certification program. NAHB President Brian Catalde stated that more than 100,000 homes have already been built and certified by voluntary, builder-supported programs across the country. .Read more about this program by clicking HERE.
