What is it about some people? Anything seems possible, they are energising to be around and are real assets in a team. Others, unfortunately, see the obstacles and are a real drain on energy. It all comes down to attitude. I believe that a person's attitude is the key differentiator. Having been involved in recruitment at all levels, I think it is essential to explore candidates' attitudes - and time and again the right attitude is critical to success. It is, in many ways, more important than any of the other criteria. You can have a candidate who is extremely well qualified, but if his/her attitude to customers is that are a necessary evil, think twice about recruiting them. Customers are the...

A little seven year old boy once said, "Love is what is in a room at Christmas if you stop opening the presents and listen." There is a lot in that statement. When is the last time you sat and listened to you? Specifically, the way you talk to yourself about what you expect from the world, how you want treated and what kind of joy will be coming to you. The facts say, that people get just that, what they internally, sometimes quietly, expect. Furthermore, it is our thoughts that act like a magnet to bring those expectations directly to each and every one of us. Maxwell Maltz was a famous plastic surgeon. After he performed surgery on people, he would take the bandages off people and admire how...

At this transitional time of the year, the seasons begin to change and some local and international sailing races are coming to an end, whilst others are only beginning to heat up. No matter what time of the year it is, there will always be a number of gruelling sailing events taking place. If you are an avid regatta follower, you will know that a few significant races on the sailing race calendar are happening as we speak. Sailing enthusiasts, as well as people who are interested in the sport, should take note of these current and upcoming races.

Quick action is called for when you spot damage to one of your sails. If it's the headsail, you should change to a different sail so that the tear or delamination doesn't spread. If it's the mainsail, you may be able to reef to take the strain off the damaged area. As most yachts carry only one main, which will be reefed and unreefed many times during an offshore voyage or coastal passage, how you handle damage to it is very important. Where spinnakers are concerned, quick action is definitely called for. In one Sydney-Hobart race when we ran for over 24 hours, we noticed a small hole in our spinnaker. Before we could drop the kite, the hole had become a tear and then blew out leaving tapes and...

om-link"> Weather temperatures around the world during the Christmas holiday break varies dramatically. Here in Queensland Australia it's hot and humid as we prepare to welcome back that jolly big guy in the red woolly suit, except here he's in boardshorts, hat and sunscreen. Christmas would have to be my favorite time of the year. I remember my white Christmases in Europe as a little girl. There was the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg and gingerbread biscuits, and my parents drinking eggnog as we decorated our tree. Snow glistened outside and groups of children with their lanterns alight could be heard singing Christmas Carols as they moved from house to house in exchange for chocolates and sweets that...

Many of us look forward all year to our vacation. So, it's only natural that we should start planning now -- at the beginning of the year.

Among the popular highlights are the Offshore Powerboat Race, the...

The abundant wonders of the Eyre Peninsula are well documented, and make for an exciting and intriguing tour in a campervan. One of the largest towns, which is something of an informal capital for the peninsula, is Port Lincoln- an important economic base for the grain and fishing industries in the region. With its near perfect Mediterranean climate, its sophisticated harbour and its wealth of attractions lying nearby, Port Lincoln is also a great place to base yourself in your motor home while you explore the region. With a population of 11 350 it is big enough to have all the amenities of a modern city, yet small enough to retain that 'country' feel. Set on the shores of Boston Bay (which is three...

We've all grown tired of the term, "Christmas is coming," surely, so I'm proposing a new one--"Boxing Day is coming." Most people use the former saying as a way of pressing people to finish a task they started in February that remains to be finished in June. Well, mine's a literal hope. Boxing Day is all about the relaxation of 'sitting in' and reflecting over the day before; all the hype of Christmas Day. This is a hectic day for families where people inevitably travel large distances on the day in order to see each other. For us, there are numerous trips on the day, and provided it's not too hot, these trips too allow for some light reflection. So, what else is it about Boxing Day? Well, there's...

Every beach down Waikiki coastline has surf and sand, but not the historic sights, orientation on Oahu's geology, and spectacular panoramic views that Diamond Head Beach Park offers. To get to the beautiful but remote shoreline at the base of the extinct Diamond Head Volcano on the eastern end of Waikiki, you have to take a long paved sea cliff path that starts at the parking lot. The trip is always worth the effort as you get to enjoy panoramic views while you descend down the beach. The beach, though narrow, is a wonderful spot for swimming, diving, and board surfing. It is also one of the most frequented windsurfing sites in Oahu. Wind conditions here are suitable for intermediate to expert...

Located at the southern tip of Cornwall, Penzance is well worth exploring. The word Penzance actually means "Holy Headland" in the native Cornish language and is a reminder that the town stands close to where the chapel of St Anthony stood over a thousand years ago. Although people have lived in Penzance since at least the Bronze Age, its importance was recognized by King Henry IV, who granted the town the right to hold a Royal Market. Although it was once a major fishing town, Penzance now caters mainly for the tourist trade. Most of the town is subject to strict planning rules, so its character has been preserved without the blight of too many modern buildings and signage. Although the poet Sir...

In business, over the years, I have seen many common words and phrases become adapted to management for specific or altogether new meanings. Challenge and problem are two of them. Anxious to rouse up their teams to motivation, leaders have brought their creative language, picked up from business academia, to rallies and conferences. Accountable is another word that turned out, in my opinion, to be more of a cop out for managers than an inspiration for staff members. Remembering well in the late eighties, early nineties when I was working in a top global company, I have seen more times than I want to think about, situations when managers have used this new word application to get out of their...

The race to the poles has been won and the seven seas and five continents have been mapped and plundered but the human hunger for adventure isn't sated. While some people still crave virgin exploration, there are a lot of people who'd prefer something more achievable - an Adventure Holiday. On an adventure holiday you will have to work to achieve your goal, but you don't have to risk death or frostbite to get there and you can be there in back in two weeks. Explorers used to look upwards for adventure. Everest took some conquering, and Mont Blanc's snows have made a worthy adversary in the past. But Kilimanjaro was recently conquered by a bunch of celebrities for Comic Relief, and the impressively...

Sardinia is an island to the west of mainland Italy in the Mediterranean Sea south of Rome and almost entirely south of Naples. Don't be surprised that spring starts early here. And it is beautiful, at least much of the time. Many people find the Sardinian spring weather more pleasant than that of the Sardinian summer.

I remember one absolute drifter where there was almost literally no wind. The class racing was Flying Dutchman, which, as everyone knows, will move in a wind of only a couple of knots -- and yet all 30 or so boats were practically becalmed. A Private Storm We all had our spinnakers up because the course was a short reach to the start of the work to weather. I happened to look across at a boat to starboard of us just as the water around it -- and only round it -- began to wrinkle, then pucker, then work into a miniature storm. The poor fellows aboard had no chance. They capsized immediately, the spinnaker filled with water, and when the wind did come properly they were in so much strife that they...

"Beware, take care of the green eyed monster bearing glutenous food " Sort of like song lyrics, but has hidden message for G.I suffers. In this article what I need to draw to your attention to is, about the frightening, dare I say DOWN RIGHT DISGUSTING way, we are being treated. Initially the blame lies with the food manufactures, who every day place trusting G.I.people's health at risk. Quickly followed by the medical profession who sanction their right to abuse our health in this way, and by doing this, place us on top of the most vulnerable allergic group on this planet. Should we be peanut allergic and thereby anaphylactic, because of this allergy we'd be protected BIG time; no way would food...

Plan your work, and work your plan. I used to think that was bunk...that is before I became successful! If you're going to succeed at anything in life, you need a plan. If you're going to succeed at internet marketing, you really need a plan! Everyone wants money! Everyone wants to be rich! One time a few years ago, my wife and I were eating breakfast in a restaurant in the Hyatt Regency in Savannah, Georgia. The restaurant overlooks the Savannah river from a height of about two or three stories. Our table was right next to the floor to ceiling plate glass outside window, which gave us a great view of the river. There was a large yacht moored just below us. This was not just a big boat, but a true...

Crane hoists and other equipment used for lifting can perform many different types of jobs that are much too difficult for people to do manually. Cranes and hoists are utilized when big, heavy items need to be relocated from one location to the other, or lifted into the air. Think about the big beams required to finish building and skyscraper construction. Without the assistance of equipment hoists, these beams could not be carried high into the air. Overhead cranes, hoists, and additional lifting equipment are used to complete the jobs that people can't do by themselves. People cannot realistically lift heavy steel beams hundreds of feet into the air and install them by hand. Employees cannot...

Why is it, that when you are looking to buy a boat, you can never find one that suits your needs? This is what happens to many people every year and in particular to ourselves. It's just like buying a house. When you are selling, it is a buyer's market and when you are buying it is a seller's market! This year my husband and I decided that it was time to buy our first boat. Now we have been boating with our friends on their Bayliner for many years. They pay for the boat expenses and we bring the food and drink in exchange. Not a bad deal we figured, until we got the boat bug ourselves. Now we want to own our own boat. After six years of boating and as many seasons of boat shows, we decided to take a...

To start off, some of us may have to ask the question; "Where exactly is the Isle of Bute?" Well, the answer may not be obvious to all but it is a beautiful and highly scenic island situated just off the Western coast of Scotland close to the estuary of the famous River Clyde and amidst rugged mountain landscapes and coastal waterways known as the Kyles of Bute. This wonderful and slightly tropical Scottish island has gained fame throughout many centuries of history and yet, it is famed even greater in more recent times when throughout the industrial revolution and most of the nineteenth century is became known as Scotland's Rivera. From the City of Glasgow, one of Scotland's main industrial and...
