What To Do When Someone Steals Your Ideas

What To Do When Someone Steals Your Ideas:
We have all encountered this situation when we have conversations with someone and they pick your brain to get your opinion.

I am a firm believer in sharing ideas but sometimes people do not want to do the work needed to find the solutions themselves.

All over the Internet, you will see where someone has copied your post or ideas word for word and it is something that really upsets me.  I understand that people have similar ideas and that is not a problem for me but outright stealing is something else.

I feel that people want a free ride and they want to profit or get credit for your art or work.

There are things that you can do to combat this problem.

1. Always copyright your work.
2. If you see your work or ideas on another website without your permission, ask the person or site to remove this information off their website.
3. Contact a Lawyer.
4. Be careful who you tell your ideas and dreams to.
5. Put a Disclaimer on your site explaining what will happen if your work is stolen

Real Reasons to Dissolve Some Friendships

Friendships are great.  We meet people in our lives and we share so much but there are times when a great friendship is on its way out.  Some of our friends are people we have known since childhood or different season and stages of our lives.  Talking and sharing our secrets was a mainstay of our relationship. As we grew as women and married, had children or experienced that dreaded Divorce we always knew that we had each other's back.

Friendships that was so sacred that our family didn't even know what we were going through because our dear friends were the keeper of our secrets.  At some point in our life's journey, we go through changes in jobs, kids, family, and locations, and we both notice that our visits and phone calls are getting fewer and fewer.  No one is mad or upset but it is just a sign that we are outgrowing our friendships.

Nothing ever stay's the same and I have come to realize that life's roads sometimes lead you into a new and different direction, and sometimes God has something new for you and new friendships for you to form.

Sometimes, someone has broken your trust and that shatters your relationship and there is no coming back and you must move on, never to return again.

How To Wash Clothes.

It is very important to learn how to clean and take care of your clothing.  They will last much longer if you take the time and clean them properly.

How To Get Rid Of The Unproductive Areas In Your Life

Learning how to pinpoint the unproductive areas in your life isn't easy. To do it, you have to take an honest assessment of things that may be time wasters.  When you work at home you have to think about all the time that you are not doing work on your business.  Sometimes people think that they can spend a lot of time on the computer or talk on the phone and if this is keeping your from your goal for the day, this is wasting time.

If you are going to the Mall or other places where you could bring your Laptop or Ipad to do some work, and you don't, you are wasting time.

There are a time and place for enjoyment and relaxation because it is important but sometimes we are even putting off housework when we could put laundry in the washing machine and dryer; it doesn't take much time to do this.

Productivity is the quality of being productive or having the power to produce. This means that you can write yourself a to-do list where you can give yourself something productive to do every day.  It doesn't have to be something hard or tedious, it could be just one thing.  You will find that this will get easier every day and you will reach more of your goals.

Only The Poor Shop At Thrift Stores?

                                      Only The Poor Shop At Thrift Stores?

Someone told me that "only poor people shop at thrift stores"  I looked at her like she was crazy because there are many wealthy people who shop at thrift stores.  Rich people stay rich by saving and cutting corners in other areas.  Of course, they can afford to buy new but why should they?  People have this idea that being well-dressed in expensive clothing will make them appear rich but what people can really see is, you don't have any savings and you are running up your credit cards for the latest fashions.

Many people who dress in expensive clothing are really broke. A friend of mines asked me whether or not I feel funny wearing clothing that someone else wore and I told her that when you shop at the mall you are trying on clothes people have tried it on and also clothes that were worn and returned.  Even if you shop online, you will be buying clothes that probably was returned for one reason or another.

I understand that everybody has their own preference and I get it but, by the same token, don't chastise me for my frugal choices.  Some people get upset when they find out that wealthy people are shopping the thrift stores but I feel that there are enough clothes and goods to go around to anyone who wants to buy them.  It is a great way to recycle and support your community programs.

I say "don't knock it till you try it"  People are often amazed at what I find at thrift stores and if you take a look on YouTube you will see many fabulous, well dressed Diva's flaunting their thrift shop finds.  You can even find many designer handbags there and sometimes new items are there too.

You can shop at these stores and save money and plan a beautiful vacation for you and your family.
Be smart in everything that you do.

So, You Are Scared Of Doctors And Medicine?

I am aware that there are many people who are leery about going to see a Doctor and follow their medical advice.  Some of these folks don't want to listen to their doctor because they are religious and they feel like they don't have faith in God if they use the medicine the doctor prescribes.  They also feel like they can pray and be healed and I believe that is possible but have they really really thought this out thoroughly?

Most of the time you can cause damage to your body by not listening to your doctor because you are delaying treatment.  I know a lot of people who takes herbs and other natural remedies and you have to realize that you are not a doctor.  You are in fact, practicing without a license in my opinion.

If you have sufficient medical insurance, you should be seen regularly by a doctor and follow his advice and if you do not trust it, get a second opinion.

What people don't realize is, God, blessed that doctors hands to do the work that he is ordered to do.  He is a healer and seeing a doctor is mentioned in the Bible and God picked that doctor from birth to go to school and learn everything in order to practice medicine.  There are only special people who can be a doctor, not everyone can do this sort of work.  He or she is well paid because they spend many years in school and also have a lot of school loans to pay back.

Don't let any archaic and ignorant religious dogma cause you to make choices that are not mentally sound because it can be a choice between life or death.
