What is the motivation for someone to kiss a corpse in a casket?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:32:22 +0000

What is the motivation for someone to kiss a corpse in a casket? What does that kiss symbolize.

I don’t know but it freaks the crap out of me. Both my grampas died in the past year and everybody was kissing them and touching theirs hands and even encouraged me to hold the ones hand. I don’t think so.

I was having panic attacks just being in the same room.

What are some motivational questions you would ask to encourage someone to go to school?

admin — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:31:39 +0000

I have to come up with a presentation on Education for work. Why it’s important and some motivational things to say. I’m not asking you to do my homework, just taking some ideas :).

I would never do something as horrible as encourage someone to go to school! D:

However, to answer your question…

Talk about learning not school, school sucks, everyone 18 and under thinks so. Learning however, is fun, quite unlike school.

Learning is a lot of things in fact, exciting, interesting, new, creative. All that good stuff."

There are not a lot of people who would argue that learning boring and pointless. There are however loads of people who can argue quite convincingly that school is boring and pointless, and then back it up with evidence and logic.

So your best bet would be to focus on the wonder of learning, in my opinion. Although school will probably crush it out of them.

Unfortunately I don’t have any ideas for specific questions, sorry.

What is a creative title for a collection of poems about inspiration/hope/determination?

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:32:29 +0000

I have no clue what to title my anthology about poems that are about inspiration/hope and motivation/determination. They are poems about never giving up, being invincible, not letting others knock you down, etc. Thanks!

I’m not that good in titles so what I think you can do is think of or research on things around you that symbolize hope and endurance…:]

I have to write a letter to a homeless veteran( weird huh?), and I wanted to add an inspirational quote that will reach into your soul and help you understand why life is so tough. deep huh?

"Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, either way you’re right." Henry Ford

I like this one, but there are a lot of others out there, does it only have to be one?
I will give you some more from my list:

"The important thing is not where you were or where you are, but where you want to get."

"Dissatisfaction is a man’s driving force. Dissatisfaction is created by failure. More failure, more dissatisfaction, more driving force, more success."

"No man is ever whipped,l until he quits in his own mind."

"A journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step."

"Your limitation is in your mind."

"To an unshakable resolution, fortune will oppose no bar."

"You can do anything, but not everything."

"There is no way to happiness, happiness itself is a way."

"The man who loses heart after one failure is a fool to make a start."

"Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness, but fortune is not so blind as men are."

"Failure is simply opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." Henry Ford

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice."

"I tell you further that if two of you agree upon the earth concerning anything for which you ask, it will come to you from my father, who is in Heaven." Jesus Christ

"Faith without works is dead."

"Never be intimidated by your challenges, no matter how tough they are, they will bow to your destiny."

"He who lives without discipline, dies without honor."

"Work hard on your job and you’ll earn a living. Work hard on yourself and you’ll earn a fortune."

Those are some that I live very much. I hope they will helpful to you. If I were you, I’d give him more than 1.

How can I get inspiration for fashion design?

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:32:14 +0000

I’ve been wanting to practice designing clothing, but I find it hard to get inspiration from anything. I also need help deciding on color schemes. Any ideas?

Often learning about how other people work is helpful when you are trying to get started. Do you have cable tv? Lifetime TV is now running Project Runway, a competition with aspiring fashion designers - it’s on 10pm Thursday nights where I live and it has reruns at other times. I’d suggest watching - it’s a great show and you would get to see how these designers work. You could also see some of the old shows that were on the Bravo network -http://www.bravotv.com/project-runway/season-5/videos
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway

That being said, inspiration can come from anything - look around you - nature, colors, traffic, architecture, objects, street signs, vintage fashion, movies, people - you can really get inspiration from essentially anything. What you have to do is be open to things, look, go for walks, talk to people. Heck you could design a whole line on people arguing. If you look at the essence of what something is, what makes something interesting, then think how you can apply that to something else. For instance, the word calm - it conveys a number of things, quiet, peace, soft colors, time, endings, ocean, water, moods … try some words and see what you can come up with, then try some ‘things,’ see where it leads you. One of the assignments on Project Runway was walking around New York City - signs, buildings, people, traffic, noise - it was a great assignment that produced really interesting designs.

where can I find motivational or inspirational videos on line to forward to a friend?

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:41:23 +0000

where can I find motivational or inspirational videos on line to forward to a friend. What is best forwarded email ever that helps motivates a friend in need.

Youtube, of course, but there is also video.google.com - There is a plethora of things one can send someone in there. (you probably already knew that, tho).
Just type the key words of what you’re looking for into their search engine and pick & chose from there.
This is something that is ‘personal’ that you really need to pick on your own.
I can’t really think of anything that is ‘precise’ to your inquiry other than what can be found on youtube.
Good luck!

Is it difficult to get work as a Motivational Speaker if you are to become one?

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 08:40:20 +0000

I am considering changing professions and becoming a "Motivational Speaker."
Public speaking is not a problem. Is a particular knowledge of certain subjects necessary or can they be learned as you work in this field, or would that be too much work?

The most important thing to being a motivational speaker is being able to motivate.

If you can make people motivated enough to get up and go get to work and do the work well than you have a shot. Too many people don’t seem top realize that it’s more than just saying a bunch of stuff on stage and being "synergy" infused.

I need to find some inspiration ideas to write a poem about?

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 05:49:10 +0000

I have to write a poem for my english class, but I need some inspiration to get me started. Any ideas on where I can get inspired?

Think of a special moment in your day- laughing with friends, a fight with your parent, a smile from that cute person you’ve been hoping would notice you, a walk on a starry night, an online chat.

Write the first words that come to you. String them together.

If that is too abstract for you, here are some tricks that I use in my high school class room to start off my students:

Try playing with some words and see where they take you. I like magnetic poetry- I just put random words out and arrange them until they seem to work together.

Pick up a magazine. On the first 15 left hand pages notice and write down the third full sentence. (or whatever pattern you like). Play with them, rearrange them.

Here are some random ‘magnetic poetry’ words for you to play with (I just looked around the room and spotted these words on books, magazines,envelopes and the TV which has subtitles on at the moment if you want to generate your own!). You don’t have to use all of the words, you can add words you want, and you can change endings to suit you.
