Below are 25 of the most profound motivational quotes ever spoken:
1. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. –Paul Valery
2. The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has.

Perhaps you know the old Taoist story of the farmer and his horse.
A farmer had only one horse, and one day the horse ran away. The neighbors came to condole with him over his terrible loss. The farmer said, “What makes you think it is such a loss?”
A month later, the horse came home, this time bringing with her two beautiful wild horses. The neighbors became excited at the farmer’s good fortune. Such lovely strong horses! The farmer said, “What makes you think this is good fortune?”
The farmer’s son was thrown from one of the wild horses and broke his leg. All the neighbors were very distressed. Such bad luck! The farmer said, “What makes you think [...]
Everyone knows how to define a “traditional” college student. They’re just out of high school and these young adults begin the next phase of the education at a four-year college. When you get into the realm of the “nontraditional” is when it gets a little strange. This is a person that defies definition. There is no single demographic and are made up of parents, military personnel, veterans, and almost anything else you can think of. Though they have no singular model or approach, they are changing the landscape of education across the country.
Consistency, consistency, consistency — if you hear about anything being vital to a successful blog, it’s consistency. But what happens when you need a break? What happens if you need time off for personal reasons or reasons beyond your control? Will your readers go elsewhere or unsubscribe if you take time off from blogging?
Fortunately there are things you can do to keep your readers happy while you take time off from your blog, whether you have a lot of time to plan or have to make a sudden schedule change.
Blog Consistency Doesn’t Have to be Crippling
The point of consistency in blogging is that you let readers know what to expect. That’s a good thing. But you [...]
Have you ever had a reason to want to move a website from one hosting company to another? Maybe you’ve had problems with the host’s support department and you’re an unhappy customer. Or perhaps you’ve simply outgrown your current host. If you plan to move your site from one host using the popular cPanel control panel to another host using cPanel, you have a couple of different options for transferring your site or blog.
In order to walk you through the site transfer steps, I’m going to use a WordPress blog as an example. This way you can see not only how to transfer static site files, but also sites involving a database transfer. This site isn’t complex — a [...]
WordPress. You have to love it with its neverending supply of plugins that can make your site do just about anything you want, along with WordPress’ constant updates that can make those plugins suddenly do absolutely nothing (or worse). The simple fact is that if you rely heavily on WordPress plugins for your site or blog, you’ll likely come across a rogue plugin at one time or another — one that doesn’t just stop working but manages to royally screw up your site in the process. What joy.
This might be a result of a plugin author failing to update their plugin to work with the latest version of WordPress. It might just be the result of your own failure [...]

With me “credit” is (almost) a dirty word. I don’t take out loans. I don’t use credit cards. And (shocker here), I’m perfectly happy! I’m not the only person I know who stays away from buying on credit either. And interestingly, those I know living cash-based lifestyles tend to be the happier folks financially — less stressed out, fewer bills to worry about, less buyer’s remorse, etc.
“The customer is always right.”
How many times have you heard that? What a load of crap. The customer is not always right. In fact, customers are very often just plain wrong. Some expect the moon and the stars but they want them for next to nothing. Others are ignorant about how a product or service works because they chose to be lazy, ill-informed consumers instead of doing their research up front. And still others just like to gripe for the sake of griping.
That’s not to say that customers are always wrong — not by any means. With social media making it easier than ever for people to share their opinions about companies, brands, products, and services with many, [...]
