I wish you a Marry Christmas

May the good times and treasures of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow
Wish you lots of love, joy & happiness.
MARRY CHRISTMAS.

A Christmas Kiss
Rejoice that we are all together
For a day like this.
Two things keep us happy, warm
A Christmas hug from you my dear
And in return a Christmas Kiss.

Merry Christmas from the heart,
To ones I hope will never part.

2) They are incrediby curious and eager to learn - they study, ask question,want to learn everything about everything.
3) They network - they know lots of people and different kind of people, they value relationship.
4) They work on themselves and never quit - work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, they learn from mistakes.
5) They are extraordinarily creative - they see new combinations, new opportunities where others see problems or limitations.
6) They are self-reliant and take responsability - they don't worry about blame, they make decisions and move on.
7) They keep their perspective - they rarely panic or make decision on impulse.
8) They live in the present moment - they get full advantage of each day.

Consider the idea to improve a foreign language. Shall we?

When we decide to learn a second language one of the most important thing that helps us to achieve our goal is to keep in our brain, the contents that we’ve learned. It’s important to study, to do researches and build knowledge, step by step, day after day, but it would be useless if we could not retain it our mind. There are some tips on this subject by Timothy Romano in his book “Secrets to Improve Memories” . Some are below and I hope you enjoy. See you soon.
“Tip #1: Reduce StressStress is one of the greatest enemies of the mind, and increasingly more common, the health of the entire body. Stress can cause heart attacks, strokes, and the long-term degradation of one’s health. Specifically, it kills your brain’s cells, and has a negative effect on the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is responsible for recording and storing long and short-term memories. There are many ways to do this, but one of the techniques I’ve found to be most effective is meditation. Meditation is effective in calming your nerves, finding your inner quiet and peace, and producing a deep state of relaxation. It’s easy to learn some basic techniques, and these will go a long way in helping reduce your overall stress levels, thereby improving the power of your mind.
Tip #2: Exercise Your BrainIf you were planning on running a marathon next summer, would you train your body to increase its performance and improve your chances for success? Of course you would! You’d specifically train your body to target the muscles and organs necessary for successfully completing a 26 mile run. Well, your brain is no different than the rest of your body. If you require increased performance and reliability from your brain, you have to continually use it and train it in ways that you don’t normally use it. Try things like brushing your teeth or writing with your non-dominant hand. Learn a foreign language or a musical instrument. Read about or study a new area of interest that you have little knowledge of.
Tip #3: Listen and Actively EngageAny time you are performing a task, speaking to someone, meeting someone for the first time, etc., make it a point to block out all other distractions and pay attention. Try to pay close attention to detail in all aspects of your life and you will see that it becomes second nature, and pretty soon you won’t even have to try. When you are meeting that new person, engage him and repeat his name back while you are being introduced. This will help reinforce the name into your brain for future recall. Be more engaged in all of your conversations and make an effort to listen more attentively and you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll be able to remember later.By putting this information to improve your memory into use, you will soon see that your brain is sharper, and you will be recalling important information. (Secrets do improve memory (Timothy Romano).
