As a motivational speaker and trainer, (during my inspirational speeches) I often ask: How often do you become conscious of the side of your own nose? And, if you wear glasses, how often do you notice the frames? I suspect that your reply to both these questions is: “rarely”.

This observation is actually surprising when you consider that both your nose and specs are within your field of view. (My motivational speaker and training audience members are by and large very taken aback.) Which begs the issue, because they encroach upon your field of view, how come your nose and glasses don’t become a visual distraction? Here’s the reason why: It’s because your brain filters them out.

In truth, only a minuscule part of the huge amount of information detected by your senses ever impinges on your consciousness. Attempting to assimilate all this sensory input would be totally impossible. Filtering out all the ‘unimportant’ data, including your nose and glasses, is a key brain function.

How come – as a motivational speaker - did I think it was most important to bring this unusual visual anomaly to your attention? Answer: Because it raises an crucial point. This scientific oddity got me wondering, does a limited perspective mean limited success? In truth a number of aspects of the brain filter unequivocally influence our productivity. Case in point, it directs our attention towards our expectations. In this commentary I’m going to consider a crucial feature of the brain sieve, how it tends towards the negative.

Your Negative Perspective

The brain filter tends to let through the depressing, in preference to the positive, features of a situation. If, in spite of everything, you still want persuading of your tendency to direct your attention on the negative, try the following simple experiment. (Incidentally I often suggest this experiment in my inspirational healthcare programs.)

Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper. Now, for the rest of the day, when you “think positive” sketch a “Smiley Face” on one side of the line. But, each and every time you have a unhelpful notion, mark a cross on the other side. Try it and discover which half of the paper you cover first. When subjects conduct this exercise truthfully, they discover they’re considerably more pessimistic than they realized.

What we require is a wider outlook, the aptitude to catch sight of the constructive aspects of a circumstance in order to compensate for our inborn propensity to be drawn towards the negative. How come? It turns out that a positive attitude is prognostic of success in many areas from sales to sports.

A Motivational Speaker’s Answer…

On the next occasion a downbeat reflection pops into your skull, attempt these practical steps:

Tip 1: Call to mind your brain filter

Tip 2: Then, seek a wider, more neutral viewpoint.

Tip 3: Ask yourself straightforward questions. For example: How bad is this irritation really? Is it likely, I’ll even remember this aggravation in three years time?

Finally, being knowledgeable about your brain sieve will make you less reactive and more effective. Take control of your thinking and keep an eye on what happens. Take it from a motivational speaker, you’ll be shocked!

Goal Setting Gear

While science is at its most advanced state in this day and age, there remains to be a lot of things to juggle for a typical job-oriented person. For most family-oriented men, there is the burden of juggling work, job, family and other factors involved in one’s social life.

You can read more on Time Management & Goal Setting

The answer is Time Management & Goal Setting. Many highly successful persons are often asked about their secret of success. And more often than not, they have the same response, and that is Productivity. However, although this is almost an expected response, many are still surprised at how Time Management really works.

Time Management is quite simply the proper allocation of time for certain priorities. First, the important tasks have to be arranged in a certain way where it is clustered into sectors and listed according to urgency and importance. For example, the important parts of your life are career, you parents, your home, your art, and your family. You have to know which one to drop first whenever you need to do something.

After that, you will need help from some Time Management & Goal Setting Gear designed to aid you in the right process of prioritization AND remembering that order.

Quick-and-Easy teasers

Goal Setting Tools & Time Management Techniques

There are a lot of women who need lots of reminder when it comes to taking care of medium sized businesses. Often, they are too small that they are disregarded as unimportant. If you are one of them, buy some quick-and-easy teasers. What’s good about technology is you can probably put an alarm just about everywhere! Mobile phones nowadays have built-in organzing device of your choices, post-its are available in different variants, and even the good old refrigerator door magnets have come in a lot of forms.

What is important is that the frequency of the reminding is now being increased. This is good for Time Management & Goal Setting because it keeps you aware of the things which you have to do especially if they’re urgent.

The organzing device of your choice + Watch Tandem

These are staples for just about every busybody from the college beadle to the corporate leader. The organizing device of your choice is something that holds your appointments and it’s also a tiny little space for some writing. Busybodies usually have contact numbers of random women they meet, gifts for a not-so-relevant birthday party that he has to go to or some sudden brilliant ideas that come to mind. For these and more, you will need an organziing device of your choice. It has to be a little notebook, just enough to fit in a handbag, and should be made of durable material. You must bring your organzing device of your choice with you every day, in case you need to list something down as a reminder.

And indeed, the perfect addition to an organzing device of your choice is a good working watch. Just because your watch didn’t work well You may have experienced running late for an appointment.  What’s worse is that the person you’re meeting wouldn’t even believe you. This blunder can easily be avoided. Just get a high quality watch. Having a good sense of time is practically the first step in Productivity.

The Perfect manner of thinking

It’s pressuring to know that you have a lot of things in your hand and it seems like you can’t even do anything about it. Don’t tip over.

Moreover, keep a be on your toes kind of mindset as you maneuver your way into your busy life. Sure, there are times when you distance yourself from your organizing device of your choice. It is a painful reminder of the busy life they lead for some. It’s perfectly alright to feel some form of eternal urgency but take some time off once in a while. You must never neglect yourself in your list of important tasks.

More on how to get more done

There are people that strain and struggle to remember things on a daily basis. There could be many reasons for this. However, there are ways that you can get your brain trained for memory improvement.

There are certain things that each side of your brain is responsible for. For instance, the left side of your brain deals with numbers, words, logic, sequence, analysis and other components. The right side of your brain deals with color, dimension, imagination, rhythm and the big picture.

Both sides of the brain work to make these components come to life. In addition to that, there are other tactics that can be used for memory improvement.

Memory improvement can help you to have unique connections between items that have no type of relationship with each other. It can help you to remember things in the correct order. You can enjoy some of the other methods in order to get your memory back to where it should be.

If you want to tell a story, you can learn to tell different stories that you will remember for a long time to come. Stories can send a message and help to create visions that will help with your memory improvement.

Using numbers is another way to bring out memory improvement. You can say the numbers in the correct sequence; you will be able to bring your memory back to full force. There’s nothing greater than to be able to count in the right way.

Once you get the techniques down pat, you will be able to remember so much that it will be overwhelming to you. However, you won’t forget because the techniques will be ingrained in your mind.

You will be able to remember lots of names from work, your neighborhood and around the way. You will also be able to remember certain meetings, dates and other scheduled events. Being able to remember them weeks and months ahead is very phenomenal.

With memory improvement techniques, you will not have to strain and struggle trying to remember this, that and the other. Struggling and straining to remember things can be painful and frustrating. Just think if you ran into someone that you had not seen in a few months. If you could not remember their name, you might be embarrassed.

So implementing some of these techniques for memory improvement would be to your advantage for your benefit. You won’t have to concern yourself with looking foolish when trying to remember things.

I know for a fact when I was growing up, most of my friends hated reading as there as so many 'easier' and more fun things to do.

Audio books have now made it possible for children to get better access to materials that they don't like reading.

Obviously, children still need to read, this is very important but reading along side audiobooks make is so much more exciting.

Many schools have now taken audio books not just to the homes of their students but also in the classrooms.

It has been mentioned by the educational sector that audio books, when used in teaching, can even have more impact than convensional books for children that are just begining to learn to read or those with reading difficulties.

Here I have listed eight advantages of pupils using audio books

1. When a child listens to an audio book it's like having a new teacher teaching them, as this is a change it makes it more exciting and new.

2. You can find audio books that are specifically made to make learning entertaining, it's a much more fun way of teching.

3. An audio book being played in the classroom will free up the teacher time, they can spend more time preparing exciting lessons and other tasks.

4. For Children that have difficulty when readin, they have the option of following the reading in an audio book until they feel comfortable to read.

It's a very powerful way of improving learning skills as all children have to do is listen to an audio book while reading the printed words.

5. You could end up saving a lot of money. You wouldn't have to buy 30 seperate books, one audio book can be listened to all students at one time.

6. Audio books that tell interesting stories are very helpful in times when the children would have become too tired to read and study.

Most importantly, popular stories that children love, will be very interesting for them to listen to.

7. You'll find that kids actually prefer audio books to physical books. A child can feel more 'at home' when they are 'told a story' rather than reading a book.

8. Audio books also have children deal with the pronunciation of certain words that they would have difficulty with merely reading them. By hearing the pronunciation and seeing it printed, they would better grasp it.

All in all, most children find it a great deal of fun listening to a lesson on audio, rather than having to read it. Children would prefer to watch a television as it is easier and more fun.

This is why you will see many schools now using audio books as a learning aid.

You wouldn't believe how important it is, to know what it is that you put into your mind.

You see, it is your mind that is the biggest factor when it comes to your personality, the way you live your life and what you end up doing as an individual.

All of your dreams can come true if you keep a possitive and creative mind.

Most of the highly successful people you see in the news today took a great deal of time to work on improving their minds.

You'll find that the most notorious people on the planet would fill their minds with a constant stream on negative thoughts. It's this kind of attitude that will lead to a person thinking that they do not want to achieve anything in life.

The thing you have to ask is, when we are born, does that determine if we are a negative of positive person?

Of course, this is incorrect!

Our minds grow with us, as we put different types of information in to it. If we are constantly filling our minds with a flow of negative input there's no doubt that we will have our own negative thoughts and even actions.

So, if you want the opposite and creative thoughts, it is pertinent to always get the right kind of information into your mind.

Many people would suggest reading the right kind of books.

Sadly, because of the great demand on our time, only few people still read lots of books, especially after college.

People now a days tend to only read news articles and magazines, we all know what that means? Most newspapers only end up giving us bad news that further increase our negative state of mind.

If you want to really get positive and helpful information, you need to read books that contain such information.

Thankfully with the advent and popularity of audio books, anyone can get the right information into his or her mind without having to “read”.

You can enjoy the benefits of audio books while exercising, commuting to and fro your work, etc.

If you are reading this and have no idea what books to look for, I have compiled a a list of what I think is the top ten best audio books to improve your mind.

Of course, I was taught French during my school days but never took it seriously. In my honest opinion, something like that just wasn't of any importance to me, and probably never would be.

After all, English was more popular and I could get along anywhere in the world with my knowledge of English language, right?

Oh my, how wrong could I have been.

I realized my mistake when I was sent to France for an assignment. Talk about a fish out of water! I was completely out of my comfort zone.

Literally everywhere I went, restaurants, bars, shops, galleries, offices, transport - everyone was speaking French. Locating someone who could speak English was like locating someone in England who could speak Chinese.

Whew, I really felt lost.

Even after the experience I had in France, I still wasn't really interested in learning the language, as I probably wouldn't ever be going back to France.

But on getting back home, my boss told me I would be going back in 3 months. Not only that, but this time I would be staying for much longer than the last time.

I protested, but she didn't bulge.

There and then I made a commitment to myself to learn French before the 3 months was up.

Being a lover of audio books, I went right ahead and bought some “Teach yourself French” foreign language audio books which I played while preparing for work in the morning, while exercising, during my commute to and from work and any other time when my hands were busy but my mind was free.

At first I didn't pay too much attention to what was being said in the "Teach yourself French" audio books because it was a strange language.

But as time went on, it all started to make sense. What was really beneficial, and what really helped me to grasp the language in the end, was the translations to English for any of the words spoken in French.

It definitely confirmed the theory I had read some time ago about how powerful listening can really be. It is no wonder that the good lord gave us two ears and one mouth. You can learn virtually any language from just listening - it really is that powerful.

You wouldn't believe it but gradually I picked up and was able to speak some amount of French just 6 weeks after.

You can imagine the surprise on the face of my boss when, 10 weeks later, I spoke French to her without mixing it with a single word in English!

She couldn't believe it and asked me how I was able to do it. So I told her my secret - it was audio books!

Not only was she very impressed, she made me the head of the delegation she was sending to represent our company in France.

She made sure every other member of my team got their foreign language audio books and did exactly what I had done.

When I eventually got back to France 3 months later, I was no longer "a fish out of water".

It was fantastic, and I was amazed that I had been able to do this without hiring a tutor, going to college or night school, or even reading any French tutorial books.

All of this was possible within 3 months just listening to French audio book lessons.

And do you know what was the most intriguing thing about all of this? I did this all in my "free" time. There were no extra committments of time needed from me, I just used the same time that I had wasted in the past.

Now, if I could do this within just three months, I am absolutely certain that anyone else can do it too.

I can honestly say that if there is any foreign language that you are itching to learn, do exactly as I did and you'll be amazed by the results in just three months, simply from the power of audio books.

There are several audio book versions of many books on learning foreign languages that you can get on the Internet.

You can begin searching from SpokenNetwork.com directly or via the search engines. Simply type in the phrase or particular title you are interested in and you will be presented with the best results… within seconds.

We have a lot to be grateful for when talking about technology.

It's amazing to think that we haven't just reduced the global impact when making books but people are also now able to completely avoid using paper as they will 'listen' rather than 'read'.

Ironic? Not with the introduction of audio books.

With audio books, we now have the unique advantage of doing other things that take up our hands, but not our minds. We now have the freedom of doing what we want, while having the book read to us.

Audio book sales are increasing as more and more people are taking advantage of how wonderful they are to listen to.

If you are considering buying an audio book, below are 6 of the great places you can enjoy an audio book

1. In the comfort of your own bed. You know the days, when you really can't face the world, you just want to relax. We could even just lay there in the darkness while we fall asleep.

What a great time to listen to an audio book. You wouldn't have to bother with putting on the lights, holding the book, flipping through the pages or the stress of reading the book itself.

When you listen to an audio book you do not have to worry about these things, you can simply relax and have your favorite book read to you.

2. In the kitchen while doing household chores such as washing the dishes or cooking. The kitchen is such a dull place to be, imagine all the time spent there when you have to wash the pots and pans.

This is a brilliant time to listen to and love an audio book because you need to be using your hands whereas your mind is completely free.

Another, much better thing would be to listen to an audio book, this would crush all the negative thoughts.

3. In the garden while gardening - You can also listen to audio books while gardening. If you find gardening a real chore, an audio book would take your mind of it and make you feel more at ease.

4. When you are exercising. When you are busy exercising, your whole body is busy, you wouldn't be able to read a book but wouldn't it be great, as your mind is free. This is a great time to enjoy an audio book.

People can spend countless hours every week exercising while their mind wonder. But listening to an audio book during this time ensures you don't waste those times that you exercise.

Talk about killing 2 birds with one stone - exercising your body and mind at the same time!

5. While travelling. Imagine how much time is spent sitting in a car, train, bus or especially on a plane. You see, many people loose a great deal of time doing nothing while commuting to and fro their jobs.

Why not use that time to listen to an audio book, especially one that develops your mind and/or improve your professional and business skills?

For example, listening to an audio book that improves your skills daily can do a lot of good to your career, instead of listening to a musical song which wouldn't help you much in the area of skill acquisition.

6. In the air while traveling - You wouldn't believe it, but there are many people who spend more time in the air than on road. There are professional assignments that involve traveling from one state to the other, or even from one country to the other.

If you are in such a situation, consider the enormous benefits you would get listening to audio books, especially those that improve your professional skills.

Yes, there are many audio book courses made specifically for professionals to improve their skills in many areas of their professions.
