10 Habits of Happy People

 

7 habits of really happy people

1. Don’t care what others think

They don’t care what others think or have to say. If they did, they wouldn’t let themselves free and be happy because of the possibility of scrutiny.

Really happy people also never let negative people and their attitudes get to them. Whatever the negative people say or do just rolls off the backs of the happy people.

2. Always looking at the bright side of things

No matter what situations are thrown at a happy person, they look for the bright side. Everything that is negative has a positive side to it. Negativity wouldn’t exist without positivity. Happy people know this and have practiced looking for the bright side so much that now it has become a habit. And even if a happy person can’t find the bright side of something, they’ll create it.

3. Being friendly

Happy people are always looking to make friends. They don’t care what you look like or what background you come from, they just want someone new to laugh and be happy with. And by default happy people are friendly; everyone wants to be happy as well and are drawn to them.

If you know a friendly person who is always making fun of others to bring them down, then they aren’t truly happy person. There’s something inside of them that they are insecure about.

4. Laugh & Smile

This habit goes along with being friendly. I have NEVER seen a happy person not smile or laugh. It just isn’t physically possible. However, a really happy person smiles so much that they turned it into a habit. You might even see them smiling for no real reason, it’s that natural to them. Laughing is another mandatory habit of really happy people. If you or they aren’t laughing, then there’s no true happiness.

5. Live in the moment

Really happy people make the most of every minute and day they have. They aren’t going to wait to have fun; they’re going to create fun now.

6. Push aside their troubles

Even if a happy person can’t find or create the positive side of a situation, they do the next best thing, they push it aside. They forget about it and move on because they know it’s only temporary and they know they can make their troubles leave even sooner.

7. Laugh in the face of fear

Just like the rest of us, really happy people have fears. Most of the time they just don’t display it. Happy people make jokes to lighten the mood and to make others feel more relaxed so they will too.

8. Don’t Dwell on Past Mistakes

Can’t walk forward with looking forward. You can’t change what already happened. You miss opportunities because you don’t see them when they arise.

9. Seize the Opportunities

Take smart chances where you know the goods and the negatives, but if you feel you can do something, do it.

10. Separate Yourself From Negative People

Negative things happen to me surrounded by negative people. If you have to look over your shoulder every second to make sure someone isn’t going to jump you, how could you possibly be truly happy.

Samsung i8510 Innov8

Projected to be released in Mid 2009. This phone is a must have if you did not go for the 3G Iphone hype. This baby is capable of Video recording, 8 megapixel camera, and 16 gigs of memory included for that cutie at the bar you met and GPS to find her house after she gives you her address for a late night nightcap.

Dry-Rubbed Ribs

 

Summer is here and you can’t go wrong with grilling. I had to look around for a good Rib recipe and this should be it. 

 

Makes about 2 cups of dry rub

1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika (sweet or hot)
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground red pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup cracked black peppercorns

Make your spice rub and cover those ribs in it ASAP. The longer they sit in the spices, the better, but let them sit at least an hour. Let them sit up to 24 hours if you want. Wrap them in plastic and refrigerate them until it’s almost time to put them on the grill. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before putting to grill.

 

 

Too Much Porn?

No, you will not go blind from too much porn but please exercise the use of the hand responsibly guys. What porn does do is it may eschew your view on what the perfect woman looks like, what the perfect position is, the perfect size, and how long it’s supposed to last. When those things creep into your mind, it hurts your confidence. Do not be one of those guys that ask for an evaluation after you have sex. Women love confidence, not the position of the enabler.
They have a saying, “Idle hands lead to the devil’s work.” The best way to keep your mind from venturing off into lady land with your Palmalive dish detergent is to keep your mind busy. Do chores, get outside, call long lost family members, whatever it takes to keep yourself sidetracked. Just think twice before going to the porn store to blow (no puns intended) you cash on that Super Jugs Magazine.

Incase Slingpack

You may need a stylish carrying option for your laptop that is an alternative to the college backpack – this may be worth looking into. This bag is capable of holding up to a 17″ laptop and several slots for magazines, DVDs, and moleskins. It uses a one strap across the body. Good for that internship or trendy coffee shop around the corner.

Five Accessories Men Should Invest In

It’s a travesty if you don’t own these items but just as bad if you went to the bargain bin at Sears. Some items you just can’t skimp on. Always pay just a bit more because the women will notice.

1) Watch – nothing is worse than pulling out your phone to tell someone what time it is.
2) Cologne- graduate your smell from aftershaves and axe sprays. Preferably one for the night out, one for work, and one the weekend. And always spray conservatively.
3) Sunglasses- be smart, spend just a bit more for reliable, name-brand and not knock-offs.
4) Umbrella- one with a quality that will not twist in the wind and you can share with a damsel in distress.
5) Wallet or money clip- the wallet should be a high quality leather. Replace once it becomes worn. Refrain from over-filling with membership, grocery cards, and Panda Express receipts. Money clip in a higher quality metal, rubberbands are a no-no.

Mac tablet?

The picture is just a mock-up of the rumor that Apple will be releasing a Macbook tablet. I don’t believe that it is
much of a stretch considering that the iPhone is just a mini osx. To transfer the technology to a tablet would be a fairly easy job. The rumors say that it should be arriving in October but that’s not Job’s style. He likes attention so I think that there will be an announcement at Macworld in January.
This would be great for artists and even muscians. Those that want a tablet now should take a look at Axiotron and their Modbook.
