In no particular order, here are some of the things that I had made note of. Choosing the path. . . in the beginning, my enthusiasm was very high (perhaps too high?) and I was chasing off on several different home-based business opportunities at the same time ...
Yes, it is December and it is Christmas time. It is the time when most of us make an effort to be with family and to remember and cherish the things that are really important to us. However, this is not only a time to remember and cherish what is important. It is also a time of profound reflection on the year that is passing and the new year that lies ahead. Depending on how this year went and what you did, one will be either more or less positive about the future. In a way it is a reflection on our lives, our successes and failures.
The oddest part about this legend is that it is virtually unknown in Germany. Nobody knows where it came from, or who started it. Well known is the fact that the decorating of Christmas Trees with lights, ornaments, and tinsel originated in Germany, but unless the Pickle Tradition was practiced in a remote region of the fatherland, it is likely that the legend was created at least in part by Americans, perhaps of German descent. There are several stories floating around about how the tradition may have started.
Maybe someone you work with? Maybe a friend? Maybe a member of your family? Maybe the hot dog seller on the corner?Do they enjoy what they do? Now, obviously I cant know who youre thinking of, but I *can* tell you whether or not they enjoy what they do. (Ok, heres a clue, the answer begins with `Y and ends with `es). YES!They enjoy what they do, they do it for a reason, it is either on a path towards a goal, or it was the goal and they worked hard for it. Maybe the hot dog seller used to be a high flyer in the world of finance, but could no longer stomach the stress and the power politics.
The first notebook computer available commercially was introduced to the public in 1981 and was named the Osborne 1. This notebook computer was understandably bulkier than the ones we get to see these days. Nevertheless, this revolutionary notebook computer -- which did not run on battery power and had to be plugged in for AC power -- took the business world by storm because of its portability, a feature that is notably absent in the heftier desktops. Then came the Compaq Portable first made public in 1983 and also ran on AC power rather than batteries.
