ARTArticleFacebook and WhatsApp Prove How Building Relationships Drives the Bottom LineBefore the collapse of Wall Street you would have rarely read an article in The Wall Street journal, The New York Times Business Section, SUCCESS Magazine or any other serious business publications discuss the importance of “soft skills” and relationship building.

I have my own opinions about God, religion, society, heaven, hell, salvation, government, and right and wrong.

Let's start here: learning to find and approach women isn't some magic trick.

By Jennifer McLeod When a crisis or traumatic situation occurs we often hear people say something like “he/she will be fine. Children are very resilient. They will pull through it.” Yes children and young people will “pull through” it but at what cost? At what cost to themselves? At what cost to society? Let’s consider for a moment an adult experiencing a similar or the same traumatic experience, e.g. bereavement or marriage break up.ARTArticleHow To Become More IntelligentIt may not be that intelligence is a measurable quality. We establish IQ scores, true, but these scores are not set in stone. Our brain is like any other muscle, if it is exercised, it grows stronger and more agile. Therefore, it may not even be accurate to assume that one person is necessarily smarter than another. With proper mental exercise and training, you could surpass someone supposedly smarter than you. Chess, for example, has been established to raise a person’s IQ level. The exercise of the brain in such intensity is bound to create a more intelligent person.ARTArticleHow To Break Free From A Dead End LifeIn my role as a Pastor and counselor I encounter many people who have found themselves seemingly at a dead end in life. Not only do they lack purpose—or the purpose they have is not one they sought or wanted—but they seem to blunder from disaster to disaster on a fairly consistent basis. And they can’t seem to break away from it. Every attempt to break away ends up landing them back in it. There are many, many people who have such a life.ARTArticleHow To Build Good CharacterBuilding good character is all about addition, not subtraction. What I mean is this: when it comes to change, our focus is usually on the aspects of our lives that are bad. We try to cut out or cut off these negative or bad qualities. We try to improve by subtraction. That is not how you build good character. It is the process of addition in your life that brings the character. In so doing, you automatically take care of the other negative aspects. As both a father and a pastor of a Church, I look for ways to continually add to the character of those I am responsible for.ARTArticleHow To Bury A Bad PastThe greatest problem with a bad past is not that you made mistakes or did things wrong. It is that you can't go back and undo it. That is the most frustrating part about guilt and regrets. We are hands on people. We want to fix mistakes and right wrongs. But once the moment has slipped into the past, what's done is done. We can't go back and undo or even redo it. That is the problem. So the key to letting your past go is dependent on some sort of action that we can take.ARTArticleHow to Date – Back to BasicsHey Dr. Dennis – Hi and thank you for your help! I am single and I have been for 2 years. I’m a 30-year old woman with 2 part-time kids.

How many times have you said something that just didn't come out the way you wanted it to? How many times have we said something that we really didn't mean, but we were too frustrated to stop it from being said? What's more, some people have a fear of expressing themselves at all. They're afraid to say something that might cost them a friendship. Or they bottle everything up tight and seize up at the mere thought of sharing their true emotions. This can be a constant struggle for people.ARTArticleHow to Get the Kids out the Door in the MorningAsk most parents about when their family experiences stress and getting out the door in the morning comes in among the top answers. With the right routine and words, mornings can flow and be one of the happiest times in your family’s day. As with any major parenting issue I always look at what routines are set up. Without a solid routine, one that is set up discussed and practised, most parenting issues cannot be solved.ARTArticleHow to Get Through to the Opposite SexDo you ever feel your sweetie doesn’t understand what you’re saying? It could be a simple difference in gender communication styles. What caused your last argument? Are the words you said the same ones your sweetie heard? It’s no secret that storms between women and men linger at the intersection of loving and living. You may find yourself asking, “Earth to sweetie, what must I do to get through to you?”ARTArticleHow to Get Women to Be AttractedDoc: I came to notice early in my life that treating women as if they are a goddess is a sure fire way of losing their interest. You can try to spend as much with them as possible, call/text them every day, give them compliments etc. but they will lose interest and think you’re weak. Recently, I have been more aloof with women trying not to calling them when they say give me a call, asking them out once and if they are "unavailable," not asking them again, trying to get them to approach me, etc. None of these attitudes seem to work.ARTArticleHow to Help Someone With a Broken HeartYou know someone that has had their heart broken and they are so hurt that they seem to withdraw from everyone and everything.

Few, if anyone, ever wants to go through that again. So how do you prevent it? And if we can actually do that, is it a good thing? The only sure way to prevent a broken heart is to isolate yourself 100% from every human being on the planet. It will be people who break your heart. However, attempting to stay away from people, leads to an even greater problem: A cold heart.ARTArticleHow To Regain Your Focus by Dr. D Ivan YoungHow To Regain Your Focus ARTArticleHow to Spend an Incredible Summer With Your KidsWith school out, parents either feel two things. 1)"Wow, I can't wait to spend more time with my kids!" or 2)"Oh, boy, here we go.
