Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life.What is the 90/10 Principle?10% of life is made up of what happens to you.90% of life is decided by how you react.What does this mean?We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.We cannot stop the car from breaking down.The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.A driver may cut us off in traffic.We have no control over this 10%.The other 90% is different.You determine the other 90%.How? By your reaction.You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction.Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.Let's use an example.You are eating breakfast with your family.Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt.You have no control over what just what happened.What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse.You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.She breaks down in tears.After scolding her, you turn to your spo
SAP R3 like other modern day ERPs uses the document principle. The document principle simply means that the R/3 system records atleast one document for every business transaction. In other words, each transaction in SAP R/3 can be traced back to a unique document with the help of a document number. Each document created in SAP R3 system is assigned a unique document number. The document number can assigned by SAP R3 automatically using internal number ranges or users themselves can assign document number using external number ranges. This is a preview of SAP R3 Document Principle - Concept of Documents in SAP R3
... as the little boy said, "Today we learned how to spell 'banana', but we didn't learn when to stop." ... In honor of that little boy, we can elevate his idea to a principle, The Banana Principle: Heuristic devices don't tell you when to stop. - Gerald M. Weinberg, An Introduction to General Systems ThinkingI just had the following exchange with my 12 year old daughter Jessica.Me: How do software testers know when to stop testing something?Jessica: When you die! . . . Or when you get really tired of it.[Update: The Banana Principle does not mean that heuristics cannot be useful in determining when to stop. It means that heuristics do not tell us when to stop using the heuristic. There is a tendency to start transforming the most useful heuristics into laws -- in our minds. Heuristics should help us think and not replace thinking. This includes continual questioning of even the most useful heuristics.]

Jessie Ann Benton Frémont, and her husband, John C. Frémont, lived lives that embodied the pulse and experience of America during the nineteenth century. Their triumphs and tragedies reflected the tides of America's own triumphs and tragedies.Whether it was the promise of Western expansion, the freedom of the Gold Rush, the desperation of abolition, the sordidness and ambitious political system, the luxury of the Gilded Age, or the humiliating poverty of the economic downturn in 1873, this couple experienced it all as if they were America itself.Santa Fe author, Sally Denton captured their fascinating lives in the most interesting biography I have ever read. She skillfully presented a story, one that is as engrossing as a great Hollywood movie, and yet detailed with historical accounts. I strongly encourage people to read this book. It presents such a fascinating look into our nation's past. "Passion and Principle: John and Jessie Frémont, the Couple Whose Power, Politics, and Love
Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! It was nice to see that I had another letter this afternoon from a reader and follower of my Covestor Page. It is nice to see that I am reaching investors through this blog, my Podcast site as well as my Covestor account. I enjoy discussions about investing with fellow investors. I continue to learn much about the process from their comments and my need to find reasonable responses to their inquiries. Don B. wrote:"Congrats on exiting when your stop was hit. It's rarely possible to find out beforehand why a given position is plunging. Regarding the matter of O'Neil's 7-8% stop rule: I've long believed that although the principle behind having a stop is solid, fixing the % is not. Why?1. Some stocks fluctuate that much and more per day. CUB shot up 26% on 8/10.2. The 7-8% pullback may well coincide with major chart support
Someone in the pre-selected and sifted pro-Bush audience at the Gaylord Opryland Resort asked George W. Bush an honest-to-goodness question, not the typical “why are people so unfair to you?” or “how do you think you will judge your legacy?” pseudo-question. It was a question based in conservative advocacy, to be sure, but it was within the Republican tent a challenging question nonetheless:
Question: My question to you is this: There are two border guards presently in jail. The Tennessee General Assembly passed a resolution, with 91 votes in the House and 30 in the Senate, asking our Tennessee delegation to support, to go to you asking for a pardon for these two men that were tried, where information was left not with, was kept back from their trial. And there’s also a resolution in the House, H.R. 40, with a number of our Tennessee delegation signed on to that. Will you pardon these men that are unjustly imprisoned?

I don’t know if Gen. Peter Pace was forced to step down as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to avoid what surely would have been a difficult confirmation hearing with the Senate over his role in the nightmare of Iraq (I’m sorry, but I can’t place a lot of faith in an individual who did not believe the Iraq was in the middle of a civil war in March 2006 and who expressed confidence publicly in Don “The Defense Secretary You Have” Rumsfeld in October of that year, as noted here).I also don’t know if he was forced to step down because he publicly opposed a nuclear attack on Iran (as Prof. Marcus noted here - that earns him props as far as I'm concerned). I also don't know if, based on this Wikipedia article about Admiral Michael Mullen (Pace’s successor due to take over in September), Bushco wanted Mullen because of his stated goal that the Navy should be “first and foremost a fighting, sea-going service,” as opposed to some of Pace’s comparatively less bellicos
