 Origin Of Father's Day

There are suggestions that the idea of Father's Day originates in pagan sun worship. Some branches of paganism see the sun as the father of the universe. The June solstice occurs around the same time of year as Father's Day, so some people saw a link between the two. The modern idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother's Day celebrations, and planned a day to honor fathers early in the 20th century. 

  

The first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. 

  

Father's Day has become popular throughout North America and in others parts of the world. 

  

Father's Day is Sunday, June 15th 

  

  When Everyone Wins 

  

There was a Special Olympics race and eight children glowed in anticipation of the event. Excitedly the children all took their places and got ready for the start of the race. 

 

A starter gave them the signal and shouted, "Get on your mark, get set-goooo!" And the children sprinted out. Soon one girl clearly took the lead with the other children running to catch up. 

  

However, back in the pack of runners one boy, who had gotten off to a slower start, tripped and fell. He began to cry on the racetrack. He whimpered and tears spilled down his cheeks. 

  

The leader of the race, a girl with Down syndrome heard her opponent's anguish-and though she was clearly set to win the race she stopped and ran back to the boy. When she reached him, she gingerly dropped down and gave him a kiss on the knee and then she wiped away his tears.

 

When the other runners saw what was going on they also turned around and ran back. Together they pulled the boy up-then they set off to finish the race they had begun. 

  

As the children approached the finish line it was hard to find a dry eye among the spectators. The runners came down the final stretch toward the finish line-with their arms linked. And each one of them was absolutely delighted to be together. 

  

Is there someone around you who could use a hand to get to the finish line? Can you lend one? 

 

 

Networking Know-How 

  

In order to leverage the business connections you make through networking, you've got to be remembered. Maribeth Kuzmeski, author of The Connectors: How the World's Most Successful Businesspeople Build Relationships and Win Clients for Life, recommends using three contact strategies for keeping in touch: 

  

1. Meeting follow-up. Have a system for following up after a meeting, conversation, or call, such as a handwritten note, e-mail, phone call, or social media connection. 

  

2. Periodic individual contact. Contact people in person periodically to stay in touch and maintain the relationship, but don't contact them only when you want something from them. Ask if they need anything from you. 

  

3. Communication campaigns. Target a subgroup within your network whenever you have something you particularly want to share.  

  

"Yes, the prospect of staying connected to all 1,000-some folks in your LinkedIn network seems daunting," Kuzmeski says. "But if you break it down to to 20 or so people a week, the task is manageable." The hardest part is doing so consistently, but the rewards are worthwhile. Your contacts will remember your name and will appreciate your efforts. And that can pay off handsomely when you need help from them. 

  

Feeling Pressured To Earn? 

  

Most of us envy the rich, but for some of us, the pressure to achieve financial success can be overwhelming.  

  

The Global Trends Survey, an online survey with more than 16,000 participants in 20 countries, looked at the international view of wealth and found that the Chinese may be feeling the greatest stress, with 68% agreeing that they feel under "a lot of pressure to be successful and make money." Sweden reported the lowest level of agreement (28%), and the U.S. came in at the middle-46%.  

  

China also is the most materialistic of nations, with 71% of its citizens in agreement with the statement "I measure my success by the things I own." And again, Sweden comes in at the other end, at only 7%. 

 

 

What Dreams Reveal 

 

Dreams may reveal fears, desires, and repressed experiences-or they may just be random electrical impulses. Psychologists have long tried to figure out what's going on in our minds when we sleep. Here are a few of their interpretations of common dreams: 

 

Falling. You may sense that something is out of control, or that you're at risk of failure.

 

Flying. Soaring in the sky can indicate you're feeling extremely confident or proud of something in your life. But if you're struggling to stay aloft, or worried about falling, you may have anxiety about what you're doing in some area. 

 

Running. Maybe you're being chased-or just running but not going anywhere. You could be feeling stuck, just going through the paces. Or you sense a threat you want to get away from.

 

Naked. Though Sigmund Freud believed that dreaming of oneself naked expressed a sexual desire, other dream experts say it's more likely that you're feeling exposed, embarrassed, or unprepared, or that you wish to hide something.

 

Teeth falling out. This can express fears surrounding your appearance, or the ability to communicate. You may feel helpless, humiliated, or unable to speak up. 

 

The Power Of Praise 

  

The British novelist Arnold Bennett had a publisher who boasted often about the outstanding work of his secretary. Waiting on an appointment one day at the publisher's office, Bennett approached her with a smile. "Your boss claims you're extremely efficient," he said. "What is your secret?"

  

 "It's not my secret," the secretary said. "It's his."  

 

She explained that the publisher never failed to acknowledge and appreciate every task she performed, no matter how routine or seemingly insignificant. Because of his attention and praise, she took great pains to deliver good work all of the time. 

 

Need More Staff? 

 

A woman walked up to the manager of the hardware store and asked, "Are you hiring?" 

 

"No, I'm afraid we're fully staffed right now," said the manager. 

 

"In that case, would you mind finding someone to help me in the paint aisle?"
