Here are three more valuable life skills for children who study Karate.
Attraction
Doesn’t everyone want to feel appreciated, popular, and get some recognition? Children need it even more that you do. This is why a child, who has leadership, success, and social skills, will go far among his or her peers. This is one more reason why a child who studies Karate will avoid following the crowd and become a trend setter.
How can a child be so self assured? It comes with inner confidence, achievements, and enhanced athletic abilities. These are all benefits that children gain from regular participation in a Karate class.
Innovation and Creative Thinking
When teaching the children, in our North Providence martial arts studio, I often emphasize the value of the words, “martial artist.” It is the art that really separates a martial artist from the street fighter. Otherwise, children would only learn self-defense skills, which is a by product of Karate training, but they also have a moral code. Many life skills are learned within martial arts classes. Children in a Karate class should be encouraged to find solutions that work for them.
Therefore, the young Karate student is not a clone of his or her teacher. After the basics are accomplished, all Karate students should use techniques that work for their mind and body. Karate practitioners are not all “wired” in the same way.
As long as the basic foundations are followed, the child who practices Karate should find independent solutions, just like any other artist. I often compare this to music; and here is my comparison, “I can give you the notes, and teach you songs, but it is up to you to create your own songs.”
Time Management
Children, who practice Karate, or any other martial art, learn to be dressed on time, line up in formation, and remember to bring their equipment. This is elementary to adults, but if your child is slowing you down, Karate is a fantastic solution for the child who needs to manage time a little better.
When this same child grows into adulthood, he or she will be thankful for the lessons in time management, when going through college, working at a job, or raising his or her own children. When learning Karate, children also learn to prioritize the important things in life and establish much better control over time management. The co-worker, or college student, who is habitually late, is rarely successful, and has always left something important “on the back burner.”

It has long been my conviction that the dominant factor in
success is the set of mental habits possessed by the individual.
Of no vocation is this truer than that of the salesman. “As a
man thinketh . . .” applies to him in an all-important way. The
techniques and skills, methods of approach, demonstration and
closing are matters of demanding study and practice., These
things are cold, mechanical, wooden and ineffective except as
they are warmed, energized and implemented by the dynamics of a
positive personality. A positive personality is never found
apart from deep conviction, genuine belief in the fundamentals,
the “copybook virtues” known and honored by men and women of
character in all generations.
This conviction was strengthened in me some time ago when there
came to hand a report of a questionnaire circulated among the
members of a Sales Executives Club. These men and women are “top
brass” in the sales departments of big business. They have
responsibility for the distribution of their firm’s product;
have in some cases hundreds, even thousands, of sales managers
and salesmen under their guidance and direction. The
recruitment, training and management of these forces are their
daily concern.
The question asked these sales executives was: What are the
qualities or traits of character you value most in salesmen?
This is the list they offered, the traits being stated in the
order of importance attached to them by these sales executives.
There is food for thought here. Note for instance that
“persuasiveness” is toward the end of the list. Most people
would list the art of persuasion as perhaps synonymous with
salesmanship but according to these sales executives there are
other more import traits, they are listed below.
Dependability was chosen as the most important.
Integrity was next. With this trait the salesman is incapable
either of being false to the trust his company places in him or
to the real interests of his customer.
Knowledge of product is one of the three fundamentals of success
in the field of selling.
Self Time-management Perhaps no vocation gives a man a greater
degree of latitude. He must be a good “boss” for himself and
exact a high degree of self-discipline for selling.
Work organization is efficiency in self-management. Much of a
salesman’s time is wasted by the prospect. He must guard the
balance jealously and make every minute count.
Sincerity excludes falsification of every shade. It must be
real, few can “pretend” with success.
Initiative is the salesman’s spark plug.
Industriousness is devotion to the job, never being unemployed
during work hours
Acceptance of responsibility for the car, for the sales
material, records, samples and above all for the company’s good
name and the customer’s good will.
Understanding of buyer motives this being another of the big
three fundamentals of selling.
Sales ethics No longer is the slogan “caveat emptor” (let the
buyer beware) but “caveat vendator” (let the seller beware).
Judgment is not inherited. It can be developed as a habit. Logic
is a subject that should be a “must” for sales people.
Care of health, mental, physical, spiritual, financial.
Courtesy is more than politeness. It is consideration for
others, deference to their opinions, their rank, their sex,
their age.
Determination is a dogged adherence to a carefully worked out
and settled program and purpose. The will to carry through.
Unwillingness to compromise with anything less than your best
performance.
Aggressiveness requires self-confidence and the language of
assurance in all interviews. It is pressure applied without
offensiveness.
Friendliness involves warmth of feeling, a positive type of
cordiality that does not involve back-slapping or wise-cracking.
Resourcefulness Wide knowledge, curiosity, retentive memory,
wide-awakeness. Quick thinking in the clinches.
Persuasiveness goes beyond the realm of reasoning, an appeal to
feelings, desires, and emotions.
Appreciation of selling as a profession and as the road to
personal success. Awareness of the fact that the field of
“distribution” offers more in money, satisfaction, opportunity
for service, and personal growth in all of the inner virtues and
faculties than any other calling, especially more than anything
in the field of “production.”

An ESL game (Phonics Level or just after Alphabet)
After Kindergarten and Introductory Phonetics, small children are often put into a Beginners English class using books like Let’s Go 1. Often they are not ready for Lets Go 1, but need to….
1. practice use of phonics through games
2. practice alphabet letter writing and
3. build up a basic vocabulary of small words.
I like to use my Small Words Game. The Small Words Game gets them excited about English. It motivates the kids as they already know a large number of small words from regular school and the mass media.
I often divide the class into two teams (they like competition) or each child keeps his/her score on the board beside their name.
You will find in the table below some of the small words they write in columns across the board for all to see. The children come up with them not the teacher. Teacher may have to start the game by giving some examples.
Note that there are only two English words with a single letter: a and I.
Get the idea? Children like this very much. They are not intimidated by small words (easy to spell) and I accept abbreviations like CD, BBQ, TV, Ok, SOS, TNT, UN, USA, and UK. In Korea I also accept short English names of pop-music groups as the kids know these from television: SES, HOT, UN, NRG etc. and TV stations like MBC, KBS.
This game can cover two or three classes and it is good to post a large table/graphics of short word on the class wall in big writing for all to see and use in the following weeks. Kids can make the enlarged words with markers and paper as a crafts project and post them on the huge wall-mounted table. This is preferable to the teacher doing it. Avoid using too many shapes and colors when making the words/letters as Montessori has shown this confuses children.
Once we have done the Small Words Game I like to get kids using these words in the Spelling Circle Game http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/lessons/index.pl?read=854. Spelling Circle Game is a strong way to reinforce the new vocabulary as words are reused/relearned/approached in a different way. Children will play the Spelling Circle Game for an hour and will do it in class, if there is space, or out doors. They especially like it as it is kinesthetic and interactive. Students and teacher can also make a set of small words flash cards, another way to build them into memory.
*Q as in Q. and A. LX: Extra Large

Bigger Bigger Smaller Smaller Game - ESL lesson
An ESL game (10+ years, builds vocabulary).
Also included: Taste Game, Materials Game, Hotter Colder Game
With students in a circle around a big table or sitting on the floor, point to something small and ask the first student to name it (in English). If they don’t understand, then teacher gives an example like a pencil or eraser and asks the student “Something bigger?” or goes to the next student. Children (not the teacher) ask the same question in sequence in the circle. Say “something bigger” (det-der-ro = something, big = kun-ga in Korean) while acting out big and small with your hands and arms. Kids will probably say “sky” or “sun”. “Universe” is the upper size limit but older children will also understand imagination (sang-sang).
Then we go smaller “something smaller” (small is cha-gum in Korean) and they begin to exchange hints in Korean and English and thus teach each other smaller and smaller words in English. They often say “ant” and then “baby ant” or “ant egg”. With even smaller objects kids need teacher’s help so I scrape my tooth with a fingernail (yucky) to show that everybody has bacteria and some kids will later say “baby bacteria” jokingly. Beyond this you have to remind them of virus (gyun in Korean). They already know about big computer viruses. And finally sketch an atom, electron etc. etc and talk about electric machines, which includes their own bodies!
This is a great way to build vocabulary while introducing the phrases:
(Tell me, teach me, give me) something bigger.
(Tell me, teach me, give me) something smaller.
A variation is to make it a Hotter and Colder Game.
Another is to make it a Materials Game and ask for something plastic, metal, wood, stone, cement, copper, iron, water, gas, leather, cloth, glass, meat, etc.
Another variation is make it a Taste Game with real/authentic/concrete examples/foods: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, hot, spice, creamy, oily, fishy, spicy, fruity, meaty, bland etc. and then ask for examples of various foods. This can be slow going unless the kids are 12 years or more. I find it needs to be repeated several times. You will have to bring foods in small plastic containers and tooth picks for tasting. Coordinate this class with other teachers so you can all share the food preparation effort/time.

Virtually every business you contact has this question in their mind. To truly maximize your revenues you need give people a reason to buy from you versus a competitor. Here are a few strategies that will help you differentiate yourself from your competition.
First, it’s important to understand that people make their buying decision on two levels - logical and emotional. The logical aspect revolves around the product or service and includes such things as product specifications, warranty, price, colour, size, ease of use, etc. Anything directly associated with the product is a logical need. The second buying motivator and, perhaps the most powerful, is the emotional aspect of the sale. These criteria are the less tangible needs and include feelings of success, relief, pride, joy, fear and concern. For example, a person buying a pair of jeans will have specific logical needs such as waist size, inseam length, colour and style. But, ultimately, the emotional aspect of how they fit and look will influence that person’s buying decision.
To uncover your customers emotional buying requirement learn to ask, “What are you looking for in a…?” followed by “Why is that important to you?” The first question helps you learn the logical need while the second question will help the customer express the emotional reasons behind their purchase. In the hundreds of sales training workshops I’ve conducted, I’ve learned that most salespeople and business owners have a tendency to leap into a product demonstration before they have learned what is important to the customer. Invest the time accurately and thoroughly learning your customer’s need and wants. This will help you to begin differentiating yourself from your competitor.
The next step is to give a presentation that focuses on the customer’s needs. Rather than discuss everything about your product or service, focus first on what the customer identified as being important. This demonstrates that you listened to what they said and will help you separate yourself more effectively.
When presenting your product or service ensure you discuss the benefits as well as the features. The feature is “what it is” and the benefit is “what it means to the customer.” A great way to phrase this is to say, “Our equipment extracts 97% of the water from your carpet (feature) which means your carpets will be dry to the touch within three or four hours (benefit).” This addresses the customer’s emotional buying needs which means there is a greater likelihood they will buy from your versus a competitor.
People also make buying decisions based on their overall experience in your store or place of business. Here are just three influencing factors:
1. Ease of business. Are you easy to do business with or do I, as a customer, have to jump through hoops to return something? Are you well staffed or do you reduce your costs by scheduling a skeleton staff at any given time?
2. Staff accessibility and attitude. Is your team friendly and well trained in customer services procedures? Do they exhibit the mentality that the customer is important and comes first or do they spend their time gossiping and gabbing? Do they eagerly approach the customer or do they wait for customers to come up to them first. I recently bought an aquarium and although the staff was knowledgeable they made me feel like I was intruding on their time.
3. Product selection and availability. Do you have a good supply chain management or order fulfillment process in place. Prior to buying my aquarium I placed my order at one store and at the time of writing this article almost six weeks later I still haven’t been advised that my tank has arrived. And this was a stock order!
Lastly, equip your team with the tools they need to properly do their job. Take advantage of the product training most manufacturers provide, invest in the on-going development of your people, and help them succeed. I’ve worked with companies who invest a great deal in their employees and others who spend a bare minimum. The difference in their overall results is always significant.
Today’s business environment is more challenging and competitive than ever before which means you need to give people a clear reason to do business with you rather than someone else.

What License do I need to start my company? This is the single most popular question we receive, representing over half of all queries to our question & answer site for small business owners.
There is, unfortunately, no complete answer to the question.
Every state, county, and municipality has a different set of rules and regulations regarding licensing. There is simply no way to catalog all the requirements for a specific type of business or location.
What can you, as a potential business owner, do to comply with all the licensing requirements?
We strongly recommend that you contact your local business chamber of commerce for the answers to all local business registration questions. These organizations exist to provide both new and existing businesses with the resources to succeed.
In some cases, especially if you are located in a large metropolitan area, you will have a choice of chambers for both your initial answers and possible membership. I recommend you contact each one to make certain that you receive the same licensing ’story’. If you receive conflicting information you should be able to follow up with the relevant regulatory bodies to get the correct information.
If you will be setting up your business in a small town or rural area, don’t assume that you will have fewer or less strict business licensing requirements. We have a store and warehouse in a tiny Central Louisiana town that requires more paperwork and fees each year than our location in Chicago.
If you are having trouble locating a chamber for your location, use the resources at the United States Chamber of Commerce website at www.uschamber.com

Having operated a successful Family Child Care in my home for
over 10 years, I have had many opportunities to introduce
various aspects of the Arts to young children. Being naturally
musical myself, providing a musical curriculum to my kids was a
simple and obvious way to enhance the daily activities of my
child care and my own children as well.
Children respond to music at a very young age. Nearly everyone
can remember their mother or grandmother singing nursery rhymes
to them as little children. I have vivid memories of swinging
outside and singing ‘Hey Diddle Diddle’ as loudly as I could
just to hear the sound. With my own children I have always used
music to calm and entertain them; singing softly to them in the
rocker or energetically leading them in finger-plays and
sing-a-longs. However you may choose to do it, singing or
playing music with children gives them a beginnings of music
appreciation, not to mention the special memories that are
created.
My son is a wild and wholly two-year-old, and greatly affected
by his environment and the sounds and sights he encounters.
Getting out of control is very easy with this little boy, and
it’s up to me to find ways of calming him down and quickly
distracting him and hopefully changing his mood. Music affects a
child’s mood, and quiet, comforting music can relax an anxious
child. It’s amazing the way my son reacts to his special CDs
that he knows and enjoys. Often he’ll just stop what he is doing
and I’ll see him stand and look toward the stereo and just sway
and sing to himself.
Children will naturally relate movement with music giving them
the opportunity to explore their own creative expression. They
love to act out movements to the songs such as moving around the
room like different animals based on the type of sounds they
hear. They can explore how their bodies move and their physical
coordination begins to grow and develop as a result.
Music activities in group settings help children develop social
and interactive skills by sharing the activity with the other
children around them. They love to join hands and form circles
while singing simple nursery rhymes and dancing around together.
Friendships are made easily when children share musical
activities and even the shyest child can join in and become part
of the group.
Recommended Music for Young Children:
• Sing Dance and Play - Genius Products • Baby’s First: Animal
Songs - Various Artists) • Walt Disney Records : Children’s
Favorite Songs, Vol. 1 : 25 Classic Tunes - Disney Cast) • Best
of the IQ Builder [2001] - Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer), et
al • Children’s Songs [2001] - Genius Products • Sesame Street
Platinum: All Time Favorites (Blister Pack) - Sesame Street •
Baby’s First: Playtime Songs - Various Artists • Magic Mozart
(Baby Genius Classical Series) - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
(Composer) • Favorite Nursery Rhymes - Genius Products •
Favorite Children’s Songs [Box] - Genius Products • Baby’s
First: Nursery Rhymes - Various Artists • Toddler Favorites -
Favorites Series • Night Night Classics - Ludwig van Beethoven
(Composer), et al • Sweet Dreams Lullabies [2001] - Genius
Products
Introducing music to young children will provide them with a
foundation to help develop language and listening skills, along
with enhanced coordination and emotional development. Little
children love to express themselves through music and given the
opportunity, will reap the benefits of a lifetime of music
appreciation.

So you’re mechanically inclined? Fabulous! You probably know a lot about repairing and installing car parts. When working on vehicles, there are certainly times when parts need to be replaced, costing you and, in turn, the customer a lot of money. But there are ways to cut your costs. Have you considered using recycled car parts?
Automotive recyclers offer great deals on used car parts. There are more recyclers out there than you might think. And their prices are hard to beat. One reason is that insurance companies can save money themselves by dropping off wrecked vehicles at a recycling yard. There are many other incentives, though, to shop from these guys.
Did you know that buying used car parts from auto recyclers helps prevent pollution caused by manufacturing new parts? A lot of oil is used to manufacture new car parts-resources that are saved by recycling. Reusing raw materials is beneficial to the environment. And finding the right car parts shouldn’t be too difficult. Currently, more than 4 million automobiles are recycled every year in North America. That’s a lot of available car parts!
Recycling car parts saves a lot of space in landfills. Why throw something away when it can still be used? Also, buying used car parts allows you to use quality parts made by the original manufacturer. Recyclers are skilled in determining which car parts are damaged and which are reusable.
And it is true: used car parts help you save money. Clearly, this is a cheaper alternative to buying new car parts. But are you getting the same quality? Good question. Actually, most automotive recyclers give warranties on car parts, so you won’t need to worry about buying a lemon. Better yet, recyclers can often find car parts faster than other dealers, as they have developed an electronic network to communicate quickly with other recyclers. If they don’t have what you need in stock, chances are they can find it in no time.
Next time you’re looking for car parts, consider your local automotive recycler. You’ll be satisfied with the product, and also with the price.

A few months ago, I wrote a guide entitled: 101 Writing Tips for Successful Email Marketing. In fact, many COPY TIPS subscribers have a copy. Since that time, I have worked on dozens of successful projects and have discovered some additional tips for boosting response.
1. Ask a question in the Subject line. This almost always gets the email opened. I suspect this is because questions are so much a part of everyday email between friends and colleagues. It’s a natural way to begin a conversation. Just be sure your question is honest and straightforward not cryptic, hyped, or suspicious.
2. Write a letter, not an ad. With the growing use of graphics in email, a lot of marketers are experimenting with formats that look more like an ad than a personal message. The fact is, an “email ad” is more likely to be deleted on sight than one that appears to be a personal message - even if that message is obviously promotional.
3. Don’t be afraid to go long. In the early days of email marketing, short copy was the rule. But this is changing. For some offers at least, longer copy that tells a more complete story is doing better. This is especially true when a transaction is involved, such as a subscription or sign up.
4. Beginning, middle, and end. Most click-thru responses will come from the hyperlink at the top, bottom, and middle of your email message - in that order. A lot of marketers forget the middle hyperlink. Don’t. Your response rates will suffer.
5. Show a picture. For graphics-enhanced email, consider including a picture of your product. This will tend to lift response. Of course, if your product is intangible, you’ll have to think of an interesting way to present it as an image. But, trust me, it’s worth the effort.
6. Link the images. If your email contains pictures and other graphics, be sure to hyperlink them. You’ll be surprised how many prospects will click on these to respond.
7. Drop-text images. A drop-text is a text message that appears when your curser hovers over a graphic. This is common on web pages. In email, this technique works like a picture caption or sidebar that displays as your prospect interacts. Very powerful.
8. Bribes work well. An offer of free shipping, a discount, an invitation, or a free gift is extremely effective in email marketing. For my money (and my clients’) information premiums white papers, guides, checklists, downloads work best.
9. Add a toll free number. Most prospects will click thru and respond to your offer online. But some prefer to call and speak with someone live. A toll free number will often boost response.

Affiliates programs are one of the easiest ways to make money
in the internet. Small fortunes have been made for smart people
who have taken advantage of this powerful marketing technique.
This tips intend to help you on your way to become a
high-earning affiliate champion, use it as a guideline to your
success. Feel free to contact me if you need further information.
1. First thing first: Target your market. If you try to sell
everything to everyone, you will sell nothing.
2. Choose the right program. Everyday you would find hundreds
of new “get-rich-quick” programs on the net. Avoid them!
Before joining any program, do some research. Trust only
programs that have been consistently paying their affiliates
3. Join one program at a time, stick to it. Avoid distractions
joining several programs at the same time. Stay focused on
the best program chosen.
4. Promote, promote, promote!. I cant empathize enough.
Promotion is the lifeblood of your program’s success. Focus
on marketing and nothing else. One easy way to promote is
by joining a traffic exchange program, like traffic swarm.
5. Write your own classifieds ads, headlines, text links.
BE CREATIVE. How many times have you seen the same old add
given for an affiliate program! Stay away from the crowd.
6. Create a content website with a review of your affiliate
program. Don’t try to sell the program, instead, give your
visitors the best review you can write of the program. Make
a bulleted list of benefits YOU have found on that program.
7. Refer to your program’s web site with a TEXT LINK. Avoid
using banners. People tend to look banners as a sales pitch
and doesn’t like it. People in your site are looking for
information, not to buy. So give them some information. Make
them want more information, then give them your text link.
8. Compile your own mailing list. Offer your visitor a freebie,
a newsletter, a free e-book, a report… In exchange, ask for
their contact info. The key here is to get their address.
9. Follow up with this list. Contact them at least once a week.
Build trust. Make them know you and trust you.
10. Track your advertising results and make corrections as
necessary. If the program is good, you can profit from it.
Do whatever it needs to be done to achieve you goals.
