  • Taking The Pilot"€™s Seat: Bringing Forth Your Greatness
    By: Pamela Hale | - The world needs your genius. You have genius, you know. Every one of us does. Your genius is your original medicine, as Angeles Arrien put it. It is unique medicine. So if you keep it from the world, the world will never see it again.

  • To Actually Avert Water Contamination, The Storm Water Management Needs A Higher Priority
    By: Adrianna Noton | - The big cities have many monikers; among them is the notion of a metropolis as a concrete jungle.

  • Is Your Business Over Weight? How To Determine The Financial Health Of Your Business
    By: Kelly Totten | - It's common for small business owners to measure their financial health based on their income statement or bank account balance and deem their business "fit" if the bottom line looks good. To reveal why this approach can be deceptive, let's apply a dieting metaphor.

    By: Larry Tobin | - Newton tells us that a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon; likewise, a body at rest will stay at rest until acted upon. This gives us a powerful metaphor for the difficulties of getting into a proper, healthy exercise habit that can help shed weight and keep it off.

    Habits can work both for and against us. They build up every single day, one way or another. If we don't take specific action, we're going to find ourselves stuck in the bad habits that have held us bac ...

    Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

    When writers combine stressed syllables that begin with the same consonant sound, they can achieve not only euphonious sounds, but also mark certain beats and cadence within the narrative's rhythm. For example:

    Noise, nausea, and loneliness-but that's nothing really new.

  • Analogy And Metaphor As Activators Of Unconscious Association Patterns
    By: Milos Pesic | - The logic of an analogy can appeal to the conscious mind and break through some of its limiting sets. When analogy and metaphor also refer to deeply engrained associations, mental mechanisms, and learned patterns of behavior, they tend to activate these internal responses and make them available for problem solving. Suggestions made by analogy are thus a powerful and indirect twofold approach that mediates between the conscious and unconscious. Appropriate analogies appeal to the conscious mind ...
