Women over 60!

In case you  missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney  thinks about women over 60.       60 Minutes  Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)       A woman over 60  will never wake you in the middle of the night &  ask, 'What are you  thinking?' She doesn't care what you  think. If a woman over  60 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit  around whining about it. She goes and does  something, she wants to  do, & it's usually more interesting.      Women over 60  are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match  with you at the opera or in the middle of an  expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it,  they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they  can get away with it.   Older women are  generous with praise, often undeserved. They know  what it's like to be  unappreciated.   Women get  psychic as they age. You never have to confess your  sins to a woman over 60.   Once you get  past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 60 is far sexier  than her younger counterpart.   Older women are  forthright and honest.. They'll tell you right off  if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one. You  don't ever have to wonder where you stand with  her.   Yes, we praise  women over 60 for a multitude of reasons.  Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every  stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50,  there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants  making a fool of himself with some 22-year old  waitress. Ladies, I apologize.   For all those  men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the  milk for free? Here's an update for you. Nowadays  80% of women are against marriage. Why?  Because women realize it's not worth buying an  entire pig just to get a little  sausage!   Andy Rooney is  a really smart guy!   Share this with all the fine, fun, fabulous, fancy-free female over  60. Male friends can benefit from these words of  wisdom as well! ;- )   Even if you  aren't over 60 yet, you have to admit, this is  funny! Lord bless  Andy! As I grow in  age, I value women over 60 most  of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

Father’s Love

A Father’s Love Is One of The Greatest Powers to Impact a Child’s Development

posted on 17th June 2012 By preventdisease.com

A father’s love contributes as much — and sometimes more — to a child’s development as does a mother’s love. That is one of many findings in a new large-scale analysis of research about the power of parental rejection and acceptance in shaping our personalities as children and into adulthood.

A previous study by researchers at the University of Arizona showed just how important dad’s job as a role model actually is. That study showed that girls who receive lower quality fathering tend to engage in more risky sexual behavior in adolescence.

 “In our half-century of international research, we’ve not found any other class of experience that has as strong and consistent effect on personality and personality development as does the experience of rejection, especially by parents in childhood,” says Ronald Rohner of the University of Connecticut, co-authored the new study in Personality and Social Psychology Review. “Children and adults everywhere — regardless of differences in race, culture, and gender — tend to respond in exactly the same way when they perceived themselves to be rejected by their caregivers and other attachment figures.”

Looking at 36 studies from around the world that together involved more than 10,000 participants, Rohner and co-author Abdul Khaleque found that in response to rejection by their parents, children tend to feel more anxious and insecure, as well as more hostile and aggressive toward others. The pain of rejection — especially when it occurs over a period of time in childhood — tends to linger into adulthood, making it more difficult for adults who were rejected as children to form secure and trusting relationships with their intimate partners. The studies are based on surveys of children and adults about their parents’ degree of acceptance or rejection during their childhood, coupled with questions about their personality dispositions.

Moreover, Rohner says, emerging evidence from the past decade of research in psychology and neuroscience is revealing that the same parts of the brain are activated when people feel rejected as are activated when they experience physical pain. “Unlike physical pain, however, people can psychologically re-live the emotional pain of rejection over and over for years,” Rohner says.

When it comes to the impact of a father’s love versus that of a mother, results from more than 500 studies suggest that while children and adults often experience more or less the same level of acceptance or rejection from each parent, the influence of one parent’s rejection — oftentimes the father’s — can be much greater than the other’s. A 13-nation team of psychologists working on the International Father Acceptance Rejection Project has developed at least one explanation for this difference: that children and young adults are likely to pay more attention to whichever parent they perceive to have higher interpersonal power or prestige. So if a child perceives her father as having higher prestige, he may be more influential in her life than the child’s mother. Work is ongoing to better understand this potential relationship.

One important take-home message from all this research, Rohner says, is that fatherly love is critical to a person’s development. The importance of a father’s love should help motivate many men to become more involved in nurturing child care. Additionally, he says, widespread recognition of the influence of fathers on their children’s personality development should help reduce the incidence of “mother blaming” common in schools and clinical setting. “The great emphasis on mothers and mothering in America has led to an inappropriate tendency to blame mothers for children’s behavior problems and maladjustment when, in fact, fathers are often more implicated than mothers in the development of problems such as these.”

Create a Millionaire mindset 3

Rule 6 – Listen To Your Hunches
While you are on your journey of creating the life you desire and acquiring your millionaire mindset, you must learn to listen out for your hunches. These are coming from your subconscious mind. 

As you focus more and more on your dream and designing it, you will be subtly asking yourself questions about how you can get that element done or get past this step.

Your subconscious mind is listening; it goes out and finds the answers for you and it gives them to you at the best possible time. However, it is not the voice inside your mind. Your subconscious mind doesn’t speak to you, it serves you up feelings and hunches, or just plain gives you the answer as if from nowhere.
So you need to re-tune into your subconscious mind and learn to trust and follow your hunches…You will be surprised and amazed as to where they will take you.

"Successful people instinctively follow their gut feelings. Unsuccessful people have let others convince them that they cannot trust themselves."

Rule 7 – Go Deeper Into Your Design
While you are taking steps and following your hunches then there will be down times between the steps of you taking action. This is when your body needs to relax. What could be more relaxing than dreaming some more about your design.

So this is a perfect time to go and experience your design in greater detail wherever you are in life. Let’s say you are on the train or in a cab, or waiting at the supermarket checkout. These are now your times to go and day dream about the life you are taking steps now to create.

The teachers had it wrong by the way, daydreaming is an essential element. It is not the waste of time the teachers told you… Let me spell that out so that I get you to understand... Daydreaming is an E-S-S-E-N-T-I-A-L part of creating the life of your dreams.

So go deeper, let’s say one part of your dream included owning a Ferrari. Know what Ferrari it would be, the colour (red of course), the model, the engine size. Now if you are driving then why not imagine what it will feel like to be driving your Ferrari, the feel of the leather, the sounds of the engine. There is no depth limit here, you can go in and smell the fumes if you like, deploy your senses.

It’s going to feel pretty good when you are in this part of your design, however, this is like a reward for you. It is for the down time in between you working diligently on your current job and in between you taking the steps required to bring your design into reality.

These are the basic steps to cultivating and creating the millionaire mindset. This is the mindset where you just know you will do it.

When you have cultivated it in your mind first and you have attained the feeling of being compelled to act, you will have total self confidence that this will work. And if low self esteem and a lack of confidence have been your issue with not following your dreams then these steps will see you over these hurdles.
