I recently added Ted Murphy as a friend on Facebook but later realized that he is not that active there. He’s more active on Twitter but that’s fine with me because I too have a Twitter account! I now follow ted on twitter, as well as on Facebook.

If you would like to follow Ted on Twitter too, add him at http://www.twitter.com/tedmurphy It definitely is more convenient on Twitter. I find that after using Twitter, I have sent less text messages on my phone. What about you?

My mother dug out some old coins that she used to collect when she was still in school, as she was cleaning up the house in anticipation of Chinese New Year. To me, I do not think that these coins are too old but my mother, who used to spend a lot of time reading up on rare coins for her hobby knows that she has some treasures on her hands.

My mother plans to dispose off her old coins as she no longer wants to keep her collection so I decided that it’s best for her to consult a rare coin dealer to find out how much her collection of rare coins is really worth.

Although I may not know much about rare coins, I certainly do not want my mother to lose her collection buy letting it go at a low price, right?

My friend recently built a million dollar home. I have a stack of photos actually, which my mother asked me to publish on my blog to share but I would rather not because of security concerns. LOL

I visited his new house a few days ago, although his housewarming party is still a couple of weeks away. The house is so large, he has a huge entertainment room, a bar, a mini gym, a Balinese garden, rooftop garden, Jacuzzi and many other special features. Really, he spared no expense when it came to building his dream house.

At first, I thought that my friend used parquet wood flooring for the gym but he said that it’s professional high quality Gym Flooring that one could find in real gyms.

Rhino Sports® gym flooring uses advanced technology in gymnasium flooring that is not only suitable for professional sports play but also for home gyms like my friend’s. I understand from reading testimonials on the website of Rhino Gym Flooring that even top sportsmen and coaches have high praises for this patent-pending synthetic wood flooring. The company already has twenty years experience building gym floors, can you imagine?

If you are wondering if it is a good idea to have a home gym, you bet. And just because it would not be used by professional sports people doesn’t mean that you can’t give it the best flooring.

I was just talking to a friend about an education fair that will be held in the capital city later this month and we both wondered if there would be any institutes of higher learning offering online degree courses.

I know that getting a degree online is not for everyone but for working adults, it is a good option to consider since we could still continue to work and support the family but at the same time, schedule our studies and upgrade ourselves.

Shouldering a new commitment is always tough but I think it would be worth the effort when we consider the Return On Investment (ROI) that a paper qualification could provide us.

I think it would be a good move for me, seeing that I already am spending so much time logged on the internet. I should seriously think about getting an education online as well.

Sometimes I feel like I have a “lack” because I did not have a tertiary education. My friend, Warren, who is like my personal cheer leader, would tell me that it’s all in the mind and that I could achieve whatever I want, even if I sometimes feel like I MUST put in double or triple the effort that my peers are putting into their careers.

I subsequently learnt that Warren subscribes to Neuro Linguistic Programming, or more popularly known as NLP, which is a way of influencing the way people think and how people can change their mindset on many issues, particularly personal barriers.

Prior to this, I have no idea what NLP is all about, though thinking back, I realize that Warren sometimes applied what he learnt on me. The creator is actually Dr Richard Bandler but Warren read many books on NLP by Paul McKenna, who is UK’s non-fiction best selling author of all time.

Books by Paul McKenna are not easy to come by here but I was informed of this largest resource website and forum of NLP where NLP instructors, authors and practitioners participate online and sometimes offline to exchange ideas, offer help or advice to members. This website, like I mentioned, has a forum section and it is very active with over ten thousand members, from ordinary members to trainers and authors who are there to share what they know with each other. I think that the popularity of this forum stems not only from the fact that it is free to join as member, NLP is a seriously interesting technique.

The website of Neuro Linguistic Programming also offers a review section, interviews with trainers in mp3 format, articles on NLP and many other features. It also has an events calendar where members could keep tab on what’s happening in the coming months.

If you are new to NLP, like me, you must check out this free resource site of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

While helping my neighbor with furnishing his home, I have come across many different designs of furniture, some are practical, some not that comfortable and some absolutely expensive and many more.

When shopping for Leather Padfolios, my neighbor told me that his aim is to buy those that are comfortable, fits the overall theme of his home and most importantly, within budget.

I know that Leather Tree is an online retail store that specializes in leather furniture. I have been told that not only do they pick furniture lines with exceptional quality at unbeatable prices, they also work very hard at fast shipping.

I think that for anyone who has so qualms shopping online for leather furniture, they should give Leather Tree a try.
