The other day I came across a quotation that said something like if you want to know about a man s character, look at his friends . This statement really made me stop and think about not just how our friends influence our behavior; but how we tend to choose our friends based on our core values. These core values are reflected in the activities that we choose to engage in, which affords us the opportunity to meet people with the same interests and hopefully similar values. If you are involved with kids and adolescents in any way, you are probably familiar with how much influence a child or teenager s peers have on their behavior.

Peer pressure is very strong for young people whose values are not yet formed or defined in a way that they become part of the person s character...

Be In The Right Place For Good Luck Good luck is often the result of simply being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, you can choose to be in these places at these times. A friend once told me Did you see that truck John bought for 2,000. He s so lucky. I mentioned to my friend that John bought it at an auction, where cars often sell for less. In other words, he was in the right place. I went to that auction once, my friend answered, but I didn t see any deals like that. John goes almost every other week, I told him. Of course he s more likely to be there at the right time to get the best deals. He s so lucky that way. That s the whole lesson, but in case it didn t sink in, I ll...

We all do it. When we re bored, lonely, frustrated, uncomfortable - just about any negative feeling at all - we reach for a snack. It may be habit, it may be socially acceptable or it may be the result of years of conditioning, but there it is. We ve grown to equate food with comfort. There are some situations that are more likely to provoke us to reach for a snack - can you watch a movie without popcorn, for instance.

Here are five situations that almost scream for a snack - and things you can do instead. Instead of popcorn at the movies, reach for your date s hand.
