Bissell Filters Are Unique

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Bissell filters are unique because of their washable properties and their double or triple system. They ensure cleaner room air and more hygienic procedures, as the dust entering the bag / canister / dust cup cannot be released, thus promising the non-necessity of re-vacuuming the same areas. Special Bissell HEPA filters make life more beautiful for allergic individuals, allowing them to breathe freely. Dust is no longer man’s enemy! Health-protection is the reason why Bissell filters are remarkable, but they are also of sheer financial help, packages coming in 3 – 5 sets of filters ideal for bagless vacuum cleaners.

Motivation takes various forms depending on the situation faced by an individual. Some people require motivation at various stages of their lives. This can be during their schooling, at certain stages of a career or in their personal lives.

The answer to what is motivation depends on the particular situation. Many students need to be pushed to achieve success. This can take various methods including taking part in class activities, being given more responsibility for tasks etc.

The Greatest Self Improvement Book Of All Time?

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

"The two great major influences that cause the mind of man to grow are the urge of necessity and the urge of desire to create. Some minds develop only after they have undergone failure and defeat and other forms of punishment which arouse them to greater action. Other minds wither away and die under punishment, but grow to unbelievable heights when provided with the opportunity to use their imaginative forces in a creative way."

So says Napoleon Hill in what I believe to be the greatest self improvement book of all time – The Law of Success

It’s tucked away at the end of Lesson Eight – Self-Control, in his ‘after-the-lesson’ comment called "The Evolution Of Transportation" (of all things!). Whilst everyone else bangs on about his Master Mind concept…there are literally hundreds of gems like this one, ‘lost’ within the book.It’s lucky then that I’m probably one of the top experts where The Law of Success is concerned. When you’ve scanned and edited by hand 1,170 pages yourself over a number of months as I did – then you’ll soon understand why this book is so great.

Youth Ministry Goals – Part 2

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

4. Build a Christ-like attitude and spirit into the youth group. “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus,” Philippians 2:5. This means more than just asking, “What would Jesus do?”  It calls for a clear-cut lifestyle of surrender.  What is the attitude of Jesus? 

· Attitude of  a Servant (v. 7)

· Attitude of Humility (v. 8)

· Attitude of Obedience (v. 8)

If every teen becomes a servant, how many things will get done?  If every teen becomes humble, how much arguing will take place? If every teen becomes obedient to God, how much better could the youth conventions be?  Of course, developing a Christ-like attitude in your group begins by displaying a Christ-like attitude in your life.

5. Develop quality leadership among the group. Jesus called His followers with, “Follow me.”  By the end of His ministry He had trained them to lead. Paul even said, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ” (I Corinthians 11:1). Give your teens the responsibility and let them lead. Dust them off when they fall down and encourage them to keep going.

Here are a few ways you can let teens lead: Devotionals, teaching class, heading up a service project, forming prayer groups, etc.

6. Parental support and participation. Believe it or not, There are some in your congregation who see youth ministry as a divider of parents and their children.  Prevent this by creating a high level of parental involvement. 

Have your parents teach for a quarter, host devotionals in their homes, chaperone trips, etc. Check out Group Publishing’s 130 Ways to Involve Parents in Youth Ministry for more great ideas.
