John Green Personnel Services -www.jgpersonnel.co.uk - No matter what size your business is, if you employ personnel - just one individual or a team of employees, your employment problems may have just begun. Not too long ago companies had personnel managers and they hired and fired, they looked after your holiday and sick entitlement, maternity leave and knew something about employment laws, rules and regulations. The workplace seemed a different place then.We have moved a long way since then and personnel managers are generally in a department called Human Resources, we've entered a new era in suing and being sued. Terms and phrases such as 'Seual Harassment , Unfair and Constructive Dismissal' , and 'disciplinary procedures' are among them.

John Howard - www.antiquepottery.co.uk - My spinster Aunt collects Staffordshire pottery dogs ( or are they porcelain ?), she has too many for me to count and I have often been tempted to go walkies to the Antiques Roadshow just to see how much this great collection of pot Staffs is really worth .... for insurance purposes you understand! If like me, and as a typical youngster, you are not into Staffordshire pottery dogs, then a pottery (or porcelain ) dog is just an ornament, so when I was a young boy, I nominated one as a Red Indian and with an epert eye and true shooting skills I fired a dart, hitting it straight between the eyes and dispatching it to the ceramic tiles where it fragmented. But Aunties are great, they don't lash out like mums, she calmly picked up every piece and with her shaking hands began to glue it back together using a tin of glue, no tubes then - I'm sure she got high on the glue because she was still really nice to me! Forty years on, when I visit Aunty, she moves it slightly and reminds herself ... and me that she must get it restored...professionally. My conscience got the better of me one day whilst walking past a beautiful antique shop in Woodstock during an antiques shopping spree in, Ofordshire.

Juicy Worm - www.success-motivation.com - There is not one successful person, living or otherwise that achieved personal success without any inspired effort. It is however how we define 'effort' and 'success', because we all have different views on successful individuals or organisations and how they achieved their wealth and personal development and success. If one wins several million pounds on the UK lottery, is he successful?. He is certainly very rich and his lifestyle would positively reflect that of a high achiever - whether the wealth continues is another matter. Achievement is probably the correct word in this contet - achieving through organizational and personal development. If we go back a few decades and look at some individuals like Paul J. Meyer founder of Success Motivation International, Mawell Maltz author of Psycho-cybernetics, Joe Karbo who wrote The Lazy Man's Way to Riches, all three individuals ... and many more, such as Dale Carnegie are what we now call ' success gurus ' and without doubt focus on the point that to become an achiever and to be successful we need to dream, we need targets, we need inspiration, we need to set goals which are often beyond our natural thought process. We can be successful through organizational and personal development.
