Information I come across about small businesses and advice on how to run them
Small Business Readings and Information
People nowadays get bothered and annoyed whenever they get surveys from somebody or even online. They often shoo or ignore whatever it is they are being handed for them to answer. The question that goes straight to their minds perhaps is, “what do i get from it anyways?”
But I tell you, be open-minded. A lot of things could change when you participate in surveys. Big and promising things could occur after the evaluation of surveys. You may not see it right now, but in the long run, it may affect your life.
Survey is a method of evaluating something which is in need of change or great deal of attention. People may ask you to answer them to let them know in what ways could they change and manipulate things to be more productive and useful.
Protesters are rampant nowadays with their complaints of the system, yet they do not participate in the simplest survey that the government is handing over to them to ask for their opinion and choice.
At work we may encounter these survey forms a lot. This helps us to improve our working skills and things to be changed in our work environment. I came across this site which provides employee surveys and software services to help companies evaluate their assets for better productivity.
Again, be open-minded. Respect surveys and at times spare a little time to consider answering them to have better services and improved living.

I don’t consider myself to be a golf pro, but I know a thing or two about a good swing. There are many golf websites that give tips on improving your swing, but many aren’t that useful. I’ve found the best golf swing tips and summarized the top 5 tips that will actually improve your swing.
1. Use your whole body
Any good golfer knows this is the most important tip. When you put your whole body movement into a swing, it really “clicks” and you know right away that your ball will really launch. Make sure you keep your arms straight, and turn your hips and back, and shoulders.
2. Visualize
This doesn’t mean picture where you want the ball to end up, or picture the angle of your shot. For this tip to be helpful, you have to visualize your entire swing, your followthrough and where the ball should travel and land.
3. Use the right equipment
Don’t use a professional golfball that the professionals use unless you are a professional. These balls can be used effectively, but most likely you don’t want to use extra sidespin or keep your shots lower. Instead, pick a ball that maximizes your distance and don’t turn as much.
4. Personalize
Reading a list of tips will give you helpful guidance, but as long as your form is good, it’s important to experiment with what swing works for your body. Everyone swings slightly differently so the best thing you can do is practice.
5. Relax
Try not to over think your shot. You should still visualize, but don’t try too hard to be perfect. Make sure your body is relaxed or you will only make your shot more unreliable.
I hope these tips got your swing on the right track, but remember: there is always more to learn. Practice is key, and don’t just go to the driving range or putting green. Play full games so that you can practice every aspect of your game. If you want more help practicing your swing, check out:

Check out the ridiculous amount of fighting happening in this NHL game. Even though the number of penalties keeps climbing, neither team will let up. Even the goalies get involved and even the referees are getting hit!
What makes hockey players fight?
There are several reasons why hockey players fight:
- They want to look tough and intimidate the other team.
- They are angry or upset about the way a game is going for them.
- They have a lot of adrenaline (and testosterone).
- They’ve given up on regular tactics
But do fights actually benefit the players?
Sometimes intimidating the other team by looking tough is useful, but most of the time fights just end up with one team having more penalties. When this happens, the other team will have more players on the ice and will be more likely to win the game. Trying to play defense with only 3 people left on your team is extremely tiring, so even if penalties are temporary, they have a lasting effect.
People don’t need to resort to fighting, and it seems to be more of a habit or part of hockey culture that is unnecessary (but sometimes entertaining). To improve your hockey skills without just focusing on fighting, check out these links:

I used to live near a valley and always had the fear of my house collapsing. If a house is built well, there’s no reason it should collapse, but sometimes the foundation just isn’t good enough.
If I ever lived near a valley again, I would definitely call a good foundation contractor, so that I would feel safe. Otherwise, I would always be afraid of this:
And this:
This one terrifies me the most! Luckily it’s not real.
Always make sure your home is insured, built to last, and is maintained well. For tips on maintaining your house, see:
This video takes a funny approach to workaholism, but it is a fairly serious problem for some. According to Wikipedia.org:
A workaholic is a person who is addicted to work. The term generally implies that the person enjoys their work; it can also imply that they simply feel compelled to do it. There is no generally accepted medical definition of such a condition, although some forms of stress, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be work-related.
Workaholism is not the same as working hard. Despite logging in an extraordinary amount of hours and sacrificing their health and loved ones for their jobs, workaholics are frequently ineffective employees.
As you can see, workaholics can sacrifice their health so it can become very dangerous. Here are 5 ways to balance your work life with the rest of your life (from savannahnow.com):
1. Get the support you need.
Counseling will help you focus on the bigger picture and shift your energy from work to other important things, like your health.
2. Schedule non-cancelable leisure activities.
Put your leisure activities in your calendar and consider them appointments, the same way you would for work appointments. Most importantly, schedule blocks of time like holidays to wind down.
3. Get to the source of the underlying issue.
Does anxiety or a lack of confidence drive you to prove yourself? Low self-esteem and the need to overachieve are often at the core of this addiction.
4. Set boundaries.
Leave work at a reasonable set time and leave your work at the office. This requires focused self-discipline and the help of someone to keep you accountable.
5. Learn to delegate.
Most workaholics believe they are the only ones who can do the job right, and are perfectionists. Eliminating the need for control will help solve the dysfunction of workaholism. But as the video demonstrates, sending your assistant to a workaholics meeting is futile. What’s most important is that you recognize when you need to work less.
Overcoming workaholism requires putting yourself before your work, and taking the time to realize what you truly desire. Nobody truly wants to work 20 hour days because it leaves you mentally and physically exhausted. For more advice on relieving work related stress, see:
The empire state building is an iconic sky scraper and its over 70 years old. Back when it was first built, worker safety standards were much lower.
This famous image of the Empire State Building’s construction shows many young men, some almost look like children, sitting on a huge beam with no visible harness whatsoever. The project was considered safe at the time, but 6 workers died during its construction!
How was it made?
According to HowStuffWorks.com,
A series of hoists and narrow-gauge tracks inside the building moved the pieces to the top-most floors, while large external winches were used for heavy stone pieces. Workers perched hundreds of feet above street level as they riveted steel girders.

As many as 3,500 workers were at the job site at one time, with the weekly payroll sometimes approaching $250,000. Because it would have been impossible to get all the workers down from the site, then back up again in a timely manner for their lunch break, food concessions were placed every few floors.
The pay was pretty good, but is it worth the risk of dying on the job? Nowadays professional construction companies are much more safe, but they still get the job done. To learn more about construction, check out:
