Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the push to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend?s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we stay motivated? Try the tips I prepared from A to Z.

A ? Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

B ? Believe in your self, and in what you can do.

C- Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.

D ? Dont give up and dont give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than three times before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.

E ? Enjoy. Work as if you don?t need money. Dance as if nobody?s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you?ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F ? Family and Friends are life?s greatest treasures. Don?t lose sight of them.

G ? Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things.

H ? Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force.

I ? Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don?t let other people get the best of you. Stay away from toxic people , the kind of friends who hate to hear about your success.

J ? Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K ? Keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.
L ? Learn to love your self. Now isn?t that easy?

M ? Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.

N ? Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.

O ? Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways ? how they want things to be, and how they should be.

P ? Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.

Q ? Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate ? are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R ? Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn?t raining when Noah build the ark.

S ? Stop procrastinating.

T ? Take control of your life. Discipline and self control are synonymous with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.

U ? Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.

V ? Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.

W ? Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.

X ? X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on ?extras? on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y ? You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you?re just going to spend it once.

Z ? Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Gene studies begin to unravel autism puzzle

By Julie Steenhuysen

CHICAGO | Wed Apr 4, 2012 2:00pm EDT

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A sweeping study of hundreds of families with autism has found that spontaneous mutations can occur in a parent's sperm or egg cells that increase a child's risk for autism, and fathers are four times more likely than mothers to pass these mutations on to their children, researchers said on Wednesday.

The results of three new studies, published in the journal Nature, suggest mutations in parts of genes that code for proteins - called the exome - play a significant role in autism.

And while these genetic mistakes can occur across the genetic code, and many are harmless, they can cause big problems when they occur in parts of the genome needed for brain development. One of the three teams found these glitches may result in a five to 20 times higher risk of developing autism.

"These results confirm that it's not the size of the genetic anomaly that confers risk, but its location," said Dr. Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, one of the National Institutes of Health, which funded one of the studies.

Among the other findings, the teams - led by Mark Daly of the Broad Institute at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Matthew State of Yale University and Evan Eichler of the University of Washington in Seattle - identified several hundred new suspect genes that could eventually lead to new targets for autism treatments.

Many of the researchers were part of the Autism Sequencing Collaborative, the largest effort of its kind to use advanced gene sequencing technology to identify the genetic underpinnings of autism.

Autism encompasses a wide spectrum of disorders, ranging from profound inability to communicate and mental retardation to relatively mild symptoms, as in Asperger's syndrome.

In the United States, an estimated 1 in 88 children have autism, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and while scientists believe genetics account for 80 to 90 percent of the risk for developing autism, most cases of autism cannot be traced to a known inherited cause.

Scientists previously have found dozens of genes that may raise the risk of autism. But genetic causes only explain about 10 percent of cases, and recent studies have pointed to environmental factors, possibly arising at conception, as a potential trigger.

SEQUENCED DATA

For this study, researchers sequenced data from 549 families that included both parents and a single child with autism. In most of these families, only one child had autism.

They identified at least three genes using this approach, and a fourth using a different approach.

Joseph Buxbaum, director of the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and a co-author of one of the studies, said the combined results from the three studies suggest some 600 to 1,200 genes may contribute the risk of developing autism.

The trick will be identifying specific networks in the brain in which these genes interact, so that researchers can begin to develop new treatments.

"We now have a good sense of the large number of genes involved in autism," Buxbaum said.

One of the studies by Dr. Evan Eichler and colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle suggested how environmental factors might influence genetics.

They looked specifically to see where these spontaneously occurring genetic mistakes were coming from: the father's sperm or the mother's egg cells.

They found that new mutations occurred four times more frequently in sperm cells than in egg cells, and the older the father, the more likely he was to have sperm with these spontaneous mutations.

One possible reason for this, Buxbaum said, is that men make sperm every day, and this high turnover rate increases the chance for errors to occur in the genetic code that could be passed on to their offspring.

"It tells us that sperm production is an imperfect process," Buxbaum said in a telephone interview.

"It's primarily driven by a dad's age. That makes sense. As you get older, there are more and more chances for problems."

He said these findings support other studies that show older fathers have a slightly increased risk of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder.

Buxbaum stressed that everyone has these slight mistakes in their genetic code, but when they occur in areas critical to brain development, they can cause different types of autism.

Kevin Mitchell, a geneticist at Trinity College Dublin, who was not involved in the research, said in a statement the studies help explain how autism can be an inherited disorder but not always run in families.

"The explanation is that many cases are caused by new mutations - ones that arise in the germline (eggs and sperm).?The studies reported in Nature are trying to find those mutations and see which genes are affected," he said.

The researchers say the studies just scratch the surface of what will be needed to fully understand the genetic causes of autism. But the new approach, sequencing genetic changes in the region where genes code for proteins, appears to be the best place to look.

"Prior to the advent of new DNA sequencing technology, we were largely wandering in the dark searching for autism genes," said Matthew State, co-director of the Yale Program on Neurogenetics and a senior author of one the three papers.

"Now we are getting a clear view of the genetic landscape and finally have the tools in hand to find a large proportion of the many genes contributing to autism."

On April 2, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center hosted an event for ?National Workplace Wellness Week.? The event, ?Innovations in Workplace and Community Wellness,? will address the state of workplace wellness programs with an emphasis on highlighting new trends, challenges, and opportunities to improve health and wellness while also exploring how employers are partnering with community organizations to impact lifestyle choices for preventing and/or managing diseases in a cost-effective manner.

As businesses struggle to comply with the myriad of new health care reform requirements and experience the rising costs of providing health insurance coverage, they continue to value workplace wellness programs as vitally important mechanisms to improve health and control costs. These programs keep employees healthy and studies demonstrate that healthier employees are more productive at work.

The Art Of Money: Personal Finance Tips - Credit Deal

If you desire a favorable credit score, use two, three or four credit cards. Having just one card will make it longer for you to get a better credit score, while five or more cards can make it harder to deal with finances. Begin with two cards, then add additional cards as necessary to build your credit.

If a credit repair company guarantees that they can improve your credit history, be very wary. A lot of companies exaggerate their ability to improve your credit. There is no fix that will work for every situation, and these companies are not being honest with you. Guaranteeing success is fraudulent.

Trust is one of the most important characteristics you should look for in a broker. Check their references and get a feel if they are being honest with you. Tailor your broker choice to your experience level, as well.

Set up your debit card so that an automatic credit card payment is made each month. Making this arrangement avoids you forgetting to ever do so.

Every little step you take towards repairing your finances helps. Stop going to the convince store or fancy coffee shop for your morning coffee, and make your own. By doing this you can save around $25 a week. Instead of driving, try taking public transportation. You may be able to save quite a bit of money with this change. You can add this money up to use for any big investments you might have in the future. It will most likely be worth a lot more to you as opposed to a measly cup of java.

Sacrificing your home is a difficult decision that nobody wants to make. If you are not able to afford it you should look into finding a place that will cost you less. You don?t want to find yourself evicted after your efforts have failed. You should always have a back up plan.

Find a bank that offers free checking. Search local credit unions, community banks, and online banks.

Neglecting to maintain your car or your house is not going to help you save money in the long run. By taking proper care of your property, you will avoid bigger problems in the future. The small expenses associated with maintaining your home or car are minimal when compared to what it will cost you to make any major repairs.

Take a look at your credit report on a regular basis. It is easy to find sites that will let you examine your report without having to pay a fee. Check your credit yourself at least twice in a year so you can ensure that you have not been a victim of identity theft.

Eliminate incandescent bulbs and use CFL bulbs instead. Not only will you be lowering your electric bill as a result, but you will also be doing something good for the environment. CFL bulbs last a lot longer than old-style, traditional light bulbs. By purchasing fewer bulbs, you won?t be spending as much money.

When it comes to sound personal finance decisions, one of the best things one can do is to avoid debt altogether. If you are buying a home or a car, a loan is fine. However, as much as possible in your daily finances, avoid credit purchases and either pay cash or go without.

Don?t let your personal finances get to you, clear your head, and realize it is time for you to tackle the issues. The article has provided you with the information you need to get on the right track, so apply this information to your personal finances and you will make a difference.

- In case you would wish to read additional information on how to fix my credit or perhaps credit help We tend to recommend Credit Deal. Precisely the same money but just better deals.
