1,000,001 Reasons To Connect With Your Audience
Eye contact is mandatory when giving a public presentation.The goal of public speaking is to connect with your audience. Visit with your audience. Have a conversation. When you are making eye contact with one person, when you are having a conversation with one person in the audience, the entire audience feels as if you speaking directly to them individually.If you do not make eye contact with anyone, your credibility and trust factor plummets to less than ZERO!H

How A Wealth Creator Defines A Business
I once had a client who came to me desperately seeking advice on how he could improve his business, as he was having acute staffing problems and was working incredibly long hours to keep the business afloat.What I told him in our first session shocked him; it was basically this:“You don’t have a business, you have a job.”This is the trap that so many business owners fall into – they mistakenly believe that because they are the “owner,” somehow they truly own the bu

It is difficult not to judge Thailand with Western eyes as Western eyes are all that I possess, but there often come times when the confused ideology of the Thai people seems to suggest a state of little cohesion. Foreigners continually impose Western ideals on a very Eastern land, but in a country where Western concepts are infused with Eastern ideologies, one cannot help but question the virtue of leaving Thailand to its own devices.

Thailand consistently adopts elements of Western culture - the ‘Golden Mile’ of innumerable shopping malls in Siam, popular culture, fashion, arts – the list is as long as it is debatable. It is not that Thailand does not stick by its own culture, but surely if a land is seeking to adjust to elements of the way of life in the West and to accommodate Western practices then there is some value in listening to what the West has to say.

We were all shocked by the coup. With hindsight it is easy to say we weren’t, but myself and everyone around me were surprised, even if only initially. It has been playing on my mind somewhat that whilst many Thais have reverted back to life as normal because “coups happen,” there is still something uneasy about the situation, not least of all because it is clouded in ambiguity and mistrust, and with the recent appointment of Surayud Chulanont it appears the situation has not got any better.

The shadiness with which the past three weeks’ events have been unfolding does not make me feel confident in the new constitution. What angers me the most is that the military now has all the power, when it had made clear that the power would be returned to the people. The Thai military is now going to be able to shape Thai politics because the constitution drafted on Sunday October 1 extends emergency law for one more year and further bans political activity during this period.

How I Regained My Lost Google Traffic
A while back I discovered that the traffic I was used to getting to my main site absolutely free from Google had dried up - completely! I mean, there was not a sniff of Google traffic on my site. A bunch of top ten rankings simply disappeared overnight.In the past, I would have started an immediate game of "catch the algorithm." I would have gone to sources I know who spend all their time trying to reverse engineer Google's rankings to figure out what'll get top rankings.

Can the people of Thailand really be happy about this? Surely a mai pen rai attitude only goes so far. What is a country if not founded upon trust and if trust is really of secondary importance? There is practically no way to speak out against the constitution. Gatherings of more than five people are banned. It reminds me of the criminal justice bill issued in the UK in 1994 that attempted to outlaw raves (although I was but 12 years old). It is ridiculous, and there is no way to show these feelings.

The recent mini counter-coup that occurred on Friday September 22 drew just 20 brave individuals. What a remarkable group of people they were, and what a shame there were so few of them. Clearly there are people in Thailand who are not prepared to simply let things happen because ‘that’s how it is.’ The phrase ‘this is Thailand’ has never felt more appropriate.

To me at least, the most notable part of the new constitution is the continued limitations on press freedom. This is more than taking a step backwards to move forward, this is an outright denying of the people of Thailand the human right to understand what is happening in their country. It is not about being from the East or from the West, it is about being human and having the freedom to be human. For two weeks now Thailand has been the focus of the world’s media and general public, and so the irony of the situation is that my mother back in the UK probably knows more about the current affairs of the Land of Smiles than a great many of the locals do here.

The Thai military has failed to do what it set out to. Thailand is not better off, as they claimed it would be. The power is not in the hands of the people and neither is the ability to know about the current situation to the fullest extent. If Thailand does not want to be judged by Weste
