How to Write Hindi Lyrics?

Every year we notice too many Hindi movies hit the cinema halls and it's quite difficult to find a Hindi movie which is being made without songs. Songs are integral to any Hindi movie. The tradition which was long ago started is still considered to be the essential element of a Hindi cinema. There are many movies which become hit not because of its superiority in relation to scripts or the marvelous acting of actors - but it's because of music - which was created with good and catchy lyrics. We assume all songs to have the effect of lyrics - otherwise it's difficult for a common man to decipher through musical notes which have no lyrics.

adele lyrics

Many Bollywood movie hindi lyricist were Ghazal poets and they turn to Bollywood for fame and good career prospects. They were very good with words and that helped them to have a strong sense of music. As a result there was a mark of quality in the lyrics which were churned out in yesteryears.

Lyrics

Writing Hindi lyrics is a two way process:

A, the musician writes a musical tune or he creates a track and after refining it he sung it for the lyricist in 'laa, laa, naa, naa....type of dhun/tune format. This gives the lyricist the idea to understand the hidden words forming its tune. And, once he understands the positions of words - he starts writing. It's called writing to a tune. Syllabe count is an essential element. The poet must count the each note of the tune with exact sounding words

B, in some cases the lyricist already has some poems which he recites and the music director starts humming it in some sort of tune. In this type of lyrics for music - the lyrics may change its actual metaphor to a large extent in some cases or in some cases it's kept intact - it depends on how well the written lyrics are adaptable to a some sort of worthy tune.

Format:

The mukhda first followed with an antra is the popular format of all hindi lyrics. We can say that it's actually the format of musical notes which are created in mukhda and antra style which is followed by the lyrics writers to mingle with notes easily.

Mukhda is the first part of the song and antra is the second part of songs. Generally it's divided into three parts the first being the mukhda and then followed by 2 antra's. every antra calls back the mukhda with its last line which is written in rhyme with the mukhda's any particular line which music director picks up to integrate it with antra's last line. Generally it's the last line of the mukhda. But now a days it's not strictly followed.

Then what it takes to write a song - it's practice. Knowing how words fits a particular tune and knowing how you can be able to justify the tune by bringing the correct interpretation of it in writing. If you understand this - it's just a matter of penning your lyrics with the tune in a smooth flow - no matter weather it's a antra or mukhda - where ever the music director wishes to have the lines to be written to the tune the lyricist can do that once he develops this basic understanding. But, in a scrip based lyrics writing - the lyrics writer needs to visualize very creatively the words which can be in line with script. This is a very tough job and demands lot of creativity apart from having technical skills of writing lyrics.

Proper Use of "Shock Treatment" Ozone Generators Can Save You a Trip to the Doctor

We've all seen the headlines, "Ozone advisory. You are advised not to go outside, especially the old and young, due to high ozone smog levels". That's the headline, the sound bite that we remember. We've also heard ozone called a "toxic gas" by health professionals, seen it vilified in billboards asking us to "O-liminate Ozone" by filling up our cars at night instead of during hot summer days. Yet we've also heard that ozone is used to purify municipal water, treat cancer in many countries of the world, and get rid of smoke and mold damage when used by trained restoration contractors. So what gives? Is ozone smog, pollution, a toxic gas or is it a water and air cleaner?

The answer to that question is more complex than a simple "yes" or "no". Ozone, like oxygen, like water, like hydrogen or any other naturally occurring thing can be harmful or beneficial depending on how it is used. Many things that are "good" can kill us in excess. Water comes to mind. You've probably heard of people dying from drinking too much water too fast yet staying properly hydrated is essential for good health. Does that make water "toxic"? Their is a long list of "good" things that in excess can kill us, and ozone is one of them.

Shock Me Like

Everyone can agree that breathing high levels of ozone is detrimental to our health, especially our lungs. What about breathing low levels of ozone? Can injecting small amounts of ozone into the air actually promote good health? The answer is yes according to studies conducted at the Academy of Medical Sciences in Russia, Two doctors and researchers, Dr. Gubernskii and Dr. Dmitriev found that 0.005ppm (parts per million) to 0.02 ppm of ozone added to normal indoor air with no ozone increased animals' resistance to colds, infections, to toxic substances, and to oxygen deprivation. That's a good thing! I quote, "A general increase in the immune "biological potential" and the vital capacity of the lung function" was reported as to the reason why. Other doctors in Russia, where ozone is embraced and used with a high success rate by the medical establishment, also performed tests utilizing less than.01 ppm of ozone in an air-conditioned office building to see the effects on the inhabitants. The tests revealed that "the office dwellers levels of oxygen in the blood increase relatively quickly and remained at a higher levels for the duration of the experiment." Since cancers cannot survive oxygen rich environments in our body, increasing our bodies oxygen level is a very good thing. Russian doctors have also stated that: "Atmospheric ozone has a positive effect on animals and people. It is important to note its positive effect on the breathing system, blood composition, arterial pressure, immune system, general feeling of well-being, and mental and physical work capability. The ozone-ion complex is a necessary component of fresh air that gives it a curative effect." I guess these finding shouldn't surprise anyone since our bodies are made to handle oxygen quite efficiently, and the more oxygen we get, the better. This same study, featured in the Russian journal Priroda, also reported a vast decrease in complaints of stuffiness from the office occupants. (3.8 times fewer complaints). Yet another Russian study performed to see how adding small amounts of ozone to the air was at improving indoor air quality in schools reported that respiratory-related illnesses were drastically improved after the ozone systems were installed. The ozone concentration produced by the systems was a mere 0.015 ppm (parts per million).

Okay you're thinking, that's great! But how about some studies here at home that suggest low levels of ozone in the air promoted good health? Some publications have published studies showing the effectiveness of lower concentrations ozone (0.01 to 0.03 ppm) at removing odors and pollutants from our air tight structures. Some of these include the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (RSES), U.S. Air Force technical publications, and Manufacturing Chemist. These studies however don't get national coverage, for somewhat obvious reason. We all know the power the International pharma drug and chemical cartels have over our elected officials, for better or for worse, such is the nature of our current system.

WHAT EXACTLY IS OZONE?

The short answer is three oxygen atoms that make up the o3 molecule known as ozone. In nature, ozone is created in our atmosphere up high to create an "ozone lawyer" to protects us from the harmful rays of the sun. Down low near earth, ozone is created to oxidize and remove man made pollution from the air we breathe. I know, I know. The EPA's spin is that ozone is in and of itself "smog". The directory of the EPA was quoted saying that she hopes someday "we can eliminate all ground ozone all together". That would be great, but to do that we'd all have to drive bikes, live in tee-pees, refrain from making any fires to cook or food, and refrain from using electricity. In other words, even during the pre-man era there was ozone in the air from fires, and if by chance her dream came true, we'd all die because we can't stop naturally occurring forest fires and without ozone to break down the smoke, we'd all eventually die. Besides, if there was no pollution in the air, mother nature wouldn't come to the rescue and create ozone to clean up our mess! Let me put this another way. If there is a lot of pollution, there will be a lot of ozone. Ozone is a blue gas, smog from industry and buses, cars, trucks, etc is a black-brown nasty color. Why call poor little Ms Ozone, the hard working cleaner that she is "smog" and not call the nasty brown and black "smog" emitted by industry smog instead? I know, I know, that's a novel idea, but I'm sure that wouldn't sit well with the Board of Directors of the major industries that are polluting our air, industries that feature former Presidents of the United States on their board of directors. If instead of "ozone alters" we were told exactly which toxic byproduct of industry was filling our air, and from which source, do you think that would put pressure on those polluters to clean up their act? Sure it would! But that would cost a lot of money, and make things more expensive, and make us less competitive around the world and lord knows we are already running an unsustainable national trade deficit. So ostensibly the powers that be met a long long time ago and came up with a plan to vilify ozone in order to draw attention away from the actual pollution culprits in order to protect those vital industries from any public outrage. Not cool, but the people behind this misinformation do what they have to do to protect our big industries which after all are the backbone of our economy in the final analysis, for better or for worse.

HOW IS OZONE CREATED?

"Down low" near the earth, ozone is created when smog from industry, older buses, trucks, automobiles, etc reacts with the rays of the sun to "split" oxygen in the atmosphere. The free oxygen atom then adheres to other oxygen molecules to form the highly unstable molecule known as Ozone. The ozone will then quickly attack the man made pollution in earnest by sending the extra atom of oxygen off on a search and destroy the offensive toxic substances by breaking the chemical chains of the pollutant, thus breaking them down into smaller molecules that are non-toxic. Ozone is also be created by an electrical spark, such as by lightning, the suns rays, UV lamps in a certain wave length, and by high voltage ozone plates in ozone generators.

HOW IS OZONE USED IN INDUSTRY?

Ozone is currently being used in a number of industries with great success. As a water purifier, ozone is second to none. Unlike the very toxic and cancer causing cleaner Chlorine, which our government endorses wholeheartedly by the way, ozone breaks down toxic substances in the water and then reverting back to oxygen without creating any harmful byproducts. That can't be said for Chlorine. When Chlorine in water comes in contact with food for instance, toxic byproducts are created which study after study suggest cause cancer.

" Surface water is being chlorinated to kill germs that might pollute it. Chlorine reacts with organic substances, causing formation of chlororganic substances (e.g. chloroform, chlorphenols, dioxins). Chloroform has long been known to be a potential cancer causative agent in animal experimentation.

Extensive epidemiological studies on human populations were able to confirm the existence of a similar causative link in humans. A study done in Iowa, USA, involving 28,000 women showed a clear correlation between cancer incidence and water chlorination." (1)

This is just one of many studies that tie chlorine in water to cancer. To make matters worse, when we clean our fruits in veggies in chlorinated water, we create cancer causing by-products:

"Some of nature's most valuable and essential anti-cancer and anti-disease phytochemical nutrients which are commonly found in food have been discovered to form deadly cancer causing substances when consumed or combined with chlorinated tap water. This discovery includes familiar foods including soy, fruits, vegetables, tea, many health products, and even some vitamins. Research has proven that these essential nutrients are the exact same families of compounds, that even in infinitesimal amounts have been tormenting the water treatment and chlorine industries for years.

Recently, a joint study was undertaken in Japan by research scientists at the National Institute of Health Sciences and Shizuoka Prefectural University. They determined that natural organic substances originating from foods, including fruits, soy, and green or black tea, react when tap water is chlorinated, forming dangerous cancer causing compounds. These deadly compounds have been named MX, which stands for "unknown mutagen", and are similar to the already well-known and more easily detected cancer causing THMs (trihalomethanes).

The Japanese scientists specifically mentioned that their studies showed that MX is created by the reaction of chlorine with natural organic plant phytochemicals such as catechins, which are contained in tea, and flavonoids which are found in fruit. Since Japan has an extremely high consumption of tea, fruits, and soy products, it is easy to see how high amounts of residues from these foods would end up in their wastewater treatment and water recycling systems.

Earlier studies by scientists in Finland in 1997 determined that MX is 170 times more deadly than other known toxic byproducts of chlorination, and was shown in laboratory studies to damage the thyroid gland as well as cause cancerous tumors." (2)

Recent studies by http://www.ewg.org, the Environmental Working Group found that nations municipal water supplies are overwrought with pharmaceutical drugs and other harmful chemicals. Well, the water districts that use Chlorine anyway to disinfect their water supplies. However, the water districts which employ ozone to disinfect the water were given a clean bill of health; no pharma drugs there!

"In a German study7, granular activated carbon (GAC) and ozonation used in a lab and in a water treatment plant, often in series, were very effective at removing carbamazepine, diclofenac and bezafibrate. The lab also showed that 3.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of ozone cut primidone levels by nearly 90 percent. Although neither GAC nor ozonation at any concentration was fully successful with clofibric acid separately, the two in combination cut levels of the drug to below the limits of detection during plant testing.

Shane Snyder, research and development project manager for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, testified in mid-April to a US Senate subcommittee about the pharmaceuticals issue on behalf of the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the water utility trade group. In an interview with Water Technology®, he said the powdered form of activated carbon can be even more effective if used properly.

He said ozone's effectiveness is tied to its ability to chemically attack the pharmaceutical molecules. For example, it can oxidize different kinds of functional aromatic bonds (forces binding certain carbon-based atomic structures within molecules) in pharmaceuticals.

In the German study, Ternes states that his research has shown ozone capable of easily oxidizing 90 percent of 51 different pharmaceuticals. It is particularly effective with compounds with amine groups and phenolic hydroxyl groups."

Most people don't know that tap water contains recycled urine from the toilet, that the pharma drugs people pee out end up in the tap water they drink (unless their water is ozonated), nor that they get the phama drugs plus cancer causing agents if their water district uses Chlorine to sanitize their recycled toilet water, aka tap water. Too bad some ex-Presidents of the USA sit on the Board of Directors of several big chemical companies that make Chlorine, and the pharma drugs in question.

What other industries, besides waste water management use ozone? Ozone is also used in the laundry industry to clean clothes without the use of harsh chemicals. In the food industry, ozone is used to preserve food without the use of artificial preservatives. Ozone kills the bacteria that breaks down food and spoils it while not effecting the food whatsoever. Ozone is used by restoration contractors to re-mediate smoke, water, and mold damage. Crime Scene Cleanup companies use ozone generators to get rid of "dead smells" and to destroy and organic material left behind. Some hospitals use ozone generators before and after operations to disinfect the operating room of any bacteria, viruses, and to destroy any left behind organic material as well as to disinfect beds. This is just a partial list for the successful use of air and water ozone generators in industry today. For links to these industries, check out the link at the bottom titled: "Links, Info Supporting This Article".

It's well beyond a foregone conclusion that water ozonation is beneficial on many different levels. We've also reviewed a few studies that suggest low levels of ozone in ambient air promotes good health. How can you use ozone safely and effectively to promote good health in your home? Here are a few suggestions:

1) Buy a "shock treatment" commercial ozone generator and perform regular "shock treatments" when nobody is home (adhere to all operational instructions) to disinfect your home and nip any potential problems (mold, surface viruses, etc) in the bud.

2) Buy a "repeat cycle timer" and place your ozone generator near the air return. Run your HVAC system in the "ON" position 24/7 and use a quality MERV 11 furnace filter (change monthly) to remove airborne dust and dander from your indoor air. Have the repeat cycle timer turn on for 5-6 seconds ever 4-5 minutes. Buy an ozone monitor to make sure the ozone level does not rise above.025 ppm, a low and conservative number that has been shown in many tests to promote good health. (EPA exposure limit is.10 ppm)

You'll immediately notice your air smells fresher and cleaner, similar to the air after a thunderstorm. Thunder creates ozone by splitting oxygen in the air in the same way an ozone generator splits oxygen, with electricity. A side bonus, you'll notice flying insects head for the hills or die, and turn right around when the chance presents itself to come inside your home. (They HATE even the lightest scent of ozone!) You'll notice your kids get sick less often, you everyone sleeps better at night. Most importantly, you'll notice the general health of everyone in your family improves over time when you provide low levels of ozone with lower dust levels due to running your HVAC fan 24/7. Of course when you try and tell your doctor this is because you're running an ozone generator to create low levels of ozone in your home, he or she will most likely tell you you're nuts and that ozone is a toxic gas. But you'll know better.

Moving to a Country in the Developing World - Prepare For Culture Shock!

Culture is everything in a human being. It tells us what's right and what's wrong, and never can we escape the culture we grow-up with. In order to live successfully in a developing country, you have to be flexible in your belief system. Like it or not, the cultures you'll adopt will probably conflict with your own. Embrace those differences -- never view them as defects of your host culture, or even worse, as barbarisms. Here's a few areas where you'll have to be minding your P's and Q's...

Treatment of animals:

Shock Me Like

A lot of societies treat animals in a manner that may shock your sensibilities. Pets are unkempt and left to roam the streets, or abandoned outright when the owners move. For example, in Argentina the streets are filled with abandoned dogs. Other animals may be slaughtered for meat in the most unsanitary and inhumane way. For instance, Colombians have a tradition of butchering pigs on the street during holidays, even though the practice is prohibited.

Environmental Pollution:

In most societies, people have no qualms whatsoever about throwing garbage on the roads, in a field or in a river, even if trash receptacles were close by. The answer I usually got when I asked them why they did this was simply: "It's garbage!". The curious thing is that most often these people keep their own homes quite tidy. A person's social standing doesn't necessarily change this behavior. Meanwhile, few businesses pay heed to the environment, taking advantage of weak regulations and poor enforcement. Industries spew poisons into the air, ground and water without any treatment, often in highly populated areas. Cottage industries, such as impromptu auto repair shops, aren't any better, often operating illegally on residential streets.

Noise Pollution:

Loud all night street parties; roving vendors advertising their wares with the help of loudspeakers; barking dogs, squawking parrots and roosters singing at all hours; scores of dilapidated vehicles chugging and coughing along -- This is the constant cacophony in countless towns and cities in the developing world. Somehow the local people never complain, no matter how loud it gets.

Hygiene:

Bathing every day isn't an option in places where water is scarce, while in others it isn't a tradition even if water is abundant. Thus people's body odor can be rather overwhelming in such places, but not offensive to them. For the same reason, clothes might be worn for many days despite the intense heat in some countries.

Unhygienic food preparation is often a problem. Even washing and disinfection of fruits and vegetables can be viewed as unnecessary. Natives might not suffer any serious effects from contamination, from already having built some immunity or from harboring vast colonies of parasites in their digestive tracts, but you, the newcomer, might become deathly ill, on the other hand.

Courtesy:

If you're used to hearing "thank you","please" and "excuse me" when the situation calls for it, don't expect the same when in a foreign land. It doesn't mean they don't feel appreciation or regret, but rather that it's not something they normally vocalize.

Treatment of Women:

It might be 2010, but in many parts of the world, women are a very long way from being emancipated. Of course, this is horribly wrong, but if you think you can change local mores, think again. Your intervention could get you in trouble fast.

Driving:

Driving is highly dangerous in a lot of places in the world. There often seems to be no respect for the law, and when the police do clamp down, a small bribe will usually make them forget even the worst offenses. Add to that vehicles and roads in poor condition and you're better off not driving at all.

Karaoke Lyrics

Song brought a whole new era in human existence, making the expression of many feelings and sentiments possible, enabling communication, and creating a condition in which people could actually sing to the music they heard around them. No one can deny that the charm of a karaoke session is apparent only when all people present know and understand the lyrics. Karaoke lyrics refer to the words the songs, whose tunes are being meted out by the karaoke box.

Generally, karaoke discs come in a combined audio-visual format, in which the music is played on the speaker and the words displayed on a television set. If however, the music system has not been connected to a display unit, the lyrics will not be seen and singers will have to depend on memory for the wording of a song. Moreover, if s singer forgets a few lines or messes up their order, the entire karaoke session can go for a toss. This is mainly why karaoke bars always use large display screen for karaoke lyrics.

Lyrics

When people are unsure of the lyrics, they are generally reluctant to sing. Having a display of karaoke lyrics is generally enough to get them off their chairs and on to the stage. When the karaoke lyrics are not embedded in the CD, they can be downloaded from the Internet. Using the media drives of a personal computer, people can even have a ready-to-use karaoke at home to play and display all karaoke songs. At times, the karaoke lyrics are color coded to depict rose and fall of voice and music. At times, these lyrics are displayed along with the original video of the song, so if people please they can look at the actual singer instead of the one pretending to be it.

Most regular players are not equipped to read lyrics from karaoke CDs since they are not designed to read the coded words. Specialized lyric editors that can read file of all formats and synchronize the karaoke lyrics are preferable to regular music systems.

Funny Freestyle Rap Lyrics - Best to Improve Your Freestyle Raps

Funny freestyle rap lyrics are the bread and butter of pretty much every successful rap MC. Take a second to think about your favorite freestyles you have heard over the last few years. Almost certainly most of them will be freestyles that have made you laugh. Every successful MC places a large amount of effort on integrating humorous lyrics into their raps. Perhaps one of the best examples of rapper that has succeeded with the help of humor is Eminem.

lyrics

The reason that funny lyrics dominate in rapping is a simple one - everyone likes to laugh. Take a look at the cinema and you will see that all the top films are either action or comedy. Successful rap songs are no different. The bravado and story telling contained in most tracks provides the action and the lyrical deftness of the likes of Jay Z, Eminem or Biggie Smalls provides the humor.

Lyrics

How can you improve your free-styling?

One of the easiest ways to improve your free-styling is to increase the size of your dictionary. The more words you have tucked away in your long term memory the easier it is to find a rhyme when you might otherwise choke on the mic. Several famous rappers (including the king of freestyle, Supernatural) freely admit to reading a dictionary in their spare time to increase their lyrical scope. In addition there are also specific programs available that can help you develop the areas of you vocabulary that are most used while rapping.

Electric *Violin* Shock Treatment!

An annoyed grimace spread across my conductor's face upon hearing a Bach concerto played with crunchy distortion in the band room before an orchestra rehearsal.

Expecting to find a headbanger guitarist mocking the establishment by shredding away at a time-honoured classic, his fury slowly melted into a pitying look of concern and sad loss, as if inside his head he was thinking, “Dear God, there goes another one.”

Shock Me Like

My dad had bought me an electric violin and I was making heads turn with my heavy variations on the classics.

The Zeta Strados Modern violin, with it's funky profile, maple flame finish and revolutionary bridge pickup design, has been the height of electric violin technology for some time. Technology aside, this violin made it possible for me to be regarded as cool by my peers, even though I was still playing music by dead guys with wigs.

My model even had five strings, which made it more of a violin/viola hybrid, the low range being perfect for raunchy power chords and guitar-like riffs.

Despite my conductor's fears, the arrival of the Zeta did not mean the end of my classical playing, though it did make me humbly aware of the huge proverbial iceberg of music that lay hidden beneath Beethoven and Mozart.

The electric violin made it possible for me to play in heavily amplified situations free from a fussy microphone and a clumsy mic stand and completely eliminated feedback. Word got out that there was an electric violinist at school and I played in all sorts of bands, from country to heavy-metal, jazz to pop and disco to swing.

I soon discovered this violin wasn't limited to playing in loud venues entirely. My Zeta became very useful in studio situations where consistent levels, tone and timbre are required. No microphone is needed here, so engineers don't have to fuss to get the mic in the exact same spot every session and the room doesn't have to have good acoustics. I just plug in my patch cable directly into the main mixer and play, leaving reverb and levels up to the engineer.

Forget the noises of passing trains, cell phones and even the player's breathing into the mic wrecking a good take. This gal stomps to the beat, playing free from headphone or isolation booths, and chatting it up with the engineer between solos. And since Zetas are designed to sound exactly like an acoustic violin rather than a “bowed guitar,” the end result sounds unmistakably like a regular, old-fashioned violin.

Granted, there are things you can do to tweak your violin into sounding quite unlike a violin. I plug into an effects box and play with chorus, reverb and distortion effects. Better yet, Zeta makes the “Synthony,” a synthesizer that converts the violin's analogue signal to MIDI.

Jargon aside, with this tool you can make your Zeta sound like anything from a trumpet to a Chinese gong or any other sound imaginable. With more features than I can list, the Synthony isn't cheap, which explains why I'm still stuck in analogue mode.

Which brings up cost: Even though electric violins have no acoustic body, there is still a vast difference between low and high end models. Don’t be swindled into buying a cheap 0 “instrument” from anyone, no matter how nice the thing looks in the photo.

Remember that you get what you pay for and electric violins, like any new technology, have become a market for suckers. You wouldn’t buy a 0 stereo system, why’d you buy a 0 instrument and amp? Such “bargains” sound nothing like a violin, feedback terribly when amplified and never last very long due to cheap components. Just like acoustic violins, you’re better off saving up for a good violin rather than throwing good money after bad.

Heck, it’s worth getting a fine electric violin just for the looks you get from other players! I’ve always enjoyed the double and triple-takes I get when I play the Zeta anywhere. I also reserve full bragging rights when speaking to other electric violinists. Denis Letourneau, one of my violin idols in BC, Canada, has a green one- of-a-kind Thompson violin, “Green Dragon.” He’d kill to have a Zeta though, so I’ve always got something to hold over him whenever we talk shop!

As a year-end treat I the Zeta into lessons and teach my violin students about reverb, distortion and the concept of studio recording. Shocked faces, similar to the aforementioned expression of my former conductor, meet the music as concerned parents witness their children creating gruesome variations on their lesson songs.

The kids absolutely love playing on it, especially with distortion and reverb. The shyest of students are rock stars as they bang out a G major scale at full volume. That's the beauty of this instrument: even a scale or arpeggio becomes fun for students.

I usually teach students a pentatonic scale or show them how to pull off power chords in 5ths. This literally keeps them occupied for the entire lesson and they leave only grudgingly. This at the final lesson of the summer when most kids are not at all keen to be indoors or learning scales. They leave the lesson motivated to practice their butts off and prove to their parents they are dedicated enough to deserve one too.

“I've created a monster,” I say to myself, knowing these parents will be inundated with requests for in the car on the way home.

Check out Zeta at http://www.zetamusic.com and tell them about my endorsement of their 5-string Strados Modern violin! Maybe they'll sponsor me...

This Will Shock You Like A Bolt Of Lightning

This message is not the average and with advanced
notice I suggest you pay very close attention to the words
that follow . . .

I am going to tell you something about YOUR network
marketing business that you've felt deep in your heart and
probably haven't come to the point where you are able
realize it for what it is.

Shock Me Like

You feel like you're missing something, like you're at a
disadvantage and you don't know why.

You keep doing what you're told, for me it was buying leads
month after month and calling them excited and happy
dreaming of the future organization and success that these
small beginnings will bring, but there is a problem . . .

At the end of the day nothing happens, you're right where
you started and you don't know what's holding you back.

Meanwhile you've got more dead beat leads than you know what
to do with and your credit card bill keeps getting bigger.

You're sponsor says keep on trucking and you do, but you
know something is wrong.

Doesn't hurt him that you're spending money on his or her
advice and returning nothing, so it's easy for him to just
shun you aside and say keep going, but you're getting to a
point where you just can't except it anymore.

"No this doesn't work!" is what your mind tells you as you
keep creating action without result.

Now let me tell you why . . .

Your network marketing business IS the right vehicle and you
are putting in the RIGHT amount of effort, but you're
focusing on the WRONG things.

Here is what no one told you or me about network marketing.

When you start you don't need recruits now, you need
something else.

See you began your network marketing business to make money
and to create time and income freedom, but what happened was
you spent money and all your time being abused by leads that
aren't going to join your business.

That's the exact opposite of what you got into the game for
and yet there you are right in the thick of thin things with
no idea of what to REALLY do.

Hear me well on this . . .

That thing that you need in your business is MONEY now so
that you can use it to create the leads that you can recruit
into your network marketing business so you can have money
far into the future.

THEY don't have you focus on that though do they? They say
recruit away and there is golden pot at the end.

There is, but they ain't leading 99% of us to it with what
they tell us to do.

Forget about them though, this is about you . . .

Your first focus in your business MUST be creating income
quickly so that you have the LEVERAGE to create leads that
YOU generate and that only you have access to so that you
have a pool to recruit from whenever you like.

Forget about the recruits and ask yourself "How do I create
the money I need now so that I can create the future I
want?"

And then you'll understand EXACTLY why this exists . . .

Follow the link in the resource box below to see exactly what
I'm talking about . . .

Work Your Home Based Business Like A Career And It Will Shock You What Could Happen

There comes a time when you need to ask yourself a very serious set of questions. Are you going to do this? Or are you going to believe excuses for the rest of your life? Are you going to make a firm decision to work your business as a career? Or will you forever work it like a hobby and whine about your results?

Imagine if you will what this same kind mindset would create if someone applied this in a hospital setting. When a person is facing a life threatening situation and they are in the emergency room of a hospital how would they feel if the doctor showed up and said, "You know I am giving this my best shot, I graduated last year and well I work this position as Doctor in the E.R. as often as I can, when my kids are acting right and my wife isn't nagging me, so here we go! I'll do the best I can!" Most people would be rolling off the table and running out of there, and if they couldn't run they'd be elbowing it army style as quickly as they could. Yet that is what people say everyday in their home based business and for some odd reason, they believe these excuses. I have always believed excuses to be nothing more than well planned lies.

Shock Me Like

When I was first developing my home based business I was taught three important truths that would make or break me. These three issues are the activities that separate someone who makes $ 10.00 per month from someone who makes $ 10,000 per month. In training and coaching people during the last 17 years I have noticed how important these same issues are. They are the dividing line between someone succeeding and someone failing, period, end of story.

Basics, People Skills and Personal Growth- These Dictate Your Income

Basics - This is when you pick up the phone and talk to someone. You hand out flyers and give out your business card. These are the basics. If you don't do the basics you don't have a business.

People Skills - This influences who you will talk to and who you will avoid. Your people skills dictate what happens when you are in conflict with a team member or a prospect. Will you stomp your feet and quit or will you do what it takes to get along with people, even those you don't agree with? People skills affect your paycheck greatly.

Personal Growth- This is where the rubber hits the road. No one has ever made it to 6-figures and above without dealing with their personal growth. Your personal growth has everything to do with your paycheck. Avoid personal growth training and issues and you will never make it to the level of a pro.

This last issue I must address emphatically. Because you see, your level of personal growth dictates if you will work even when you don't feel like it. Personal growth has a lot to do with whether or not circumstances dictate your hours of business. ( You know, I work 2 hours on Monday, I work 4 on Tues, I don't like to work on Wed because of soccer games with my kids, I work on Thurs if I can fit it in and I try to work on Friday night). Hours of business need to be consistent with the word business. A grocery story would never dream of being open in this sporadic way- can you imagine if you needed diapers on the day the store owner 'didn't feel like coming in'!?

There are going to be times in your business when you just have to ask yourself, "Am I going to do this or not? Am I going to the top or am I not? Will I do whatever it takes to succeed or not?" Ironically these are the same questions that a doctor must ask himself before he goes into Med School. If he were to show up for school or on his 24 hours shift assignment when he feels like it he would soon be thrown out of Med School! Yet everyday, people who call themselves home business owners, operate in this exact same way- they work when they can fit it in, when they feel like it, when the moon, stars and the universe line up. Sadly, they can't figure out why they don't have a paycheck. Small wonder, not one business on the planet could prosper with that mindset.

It's important to address these three issues if you are going to succeed in this business you are in. Make sure you are doing the basics everyday. Get training and build your people skills. Lastly, work on your personal growth everyday, every year.

Let me tell you about one of my clients, his name is Tyler. When he first came to coach with me he was homeless, with 8 kids, living with his wife and his children at a relatives house. I told him what I just told you - decide when you are working, treat this like a career, make the decision right now to never be homeless again and let's get to work. He made that decision and made 6-figures his first year in business. Thank God he made that decision, his children and his wife were depending on him! When Tyler got on the phone and did prospecting, when Tyler held a business presentation he didn't take into consideration if he felt like it or not, he didn't take into consideration if this was a good day for his kids, his wife, himself- he went to work. He worked his home based business like a career and it paid him like one, to the tune of 6-figures!

Now I know you didn't get started in your business venture to fail, and you didn't get started in this business to be miserable. So you have one thing you must do right now. Make the decision right now to work your business as a career and I promise you, the results will shock you!

Why Lyrics Are Important

What makes a good song so appealing to the people who buy CDs and MP3 files? Is it the background beats or the guitar riffs played? Is it the voice of the lead singer or how high he or she can take his vocals to? The truth is that the most important part of most songs, techno possibly being an exception, is the lyrics, or the words of the song. The lyrics are the meat of any song, and are usually the part that is most recognizable from any song. They are an integral part of any music tune and it would be a mistake for any artist to take them lightly.

music lyrics

As mentioned before, the most recognizable part of any song is usually the lyrics. What this means is that when someone is looking for a song they heard on the radio, they will probably remember some key lines from the chorus. They are not, however, likely to remember a well-done guitar solo or something of that sort. While instrumental play is important as well, people usually link songs with the words inside the music. This is because words are not only much easier to remember than instrument music is, they are also easy to translate to someone else. For example, it would be much easier to find a CD if you know the words to a song than if you knew the drum beats from a song.

Lyrics

Lyrics are often commonly considered to be the single artistic part of music as well. While this is certainly not true from a musicians standpoint, as guitars and drums take a lot of practice and time to master, it doesn't change the fact that many people feel that a good song must have quality lyrics. Good lyrics will relate to a person's life and make them feel better about a bad situation. Bad lyrics will focus on trivial parts of life that really don't matter and will have no deeper meaning to them after the song is over. Artists will find that after a while people tire of hearing the same old stuff about showing off gold chains and shaking behinds. Many music fans are looking for songs that have meanings, and this in turn means that artists need to spend more time on their lyrics.

Remember that before it was stated that lyrics are important because of how they can be recognized. This is double-fold when you consider that good lyrics in one song can sometimes single-handedly assure an artists legacy. Journey is one good example of this, as their biggest hit in "Don't Stop Believing" is a pop culture hit that has never lost fans throughout the decades since it's release. On the other hand, artists without a standout lyrical song will often find themselves fade out of the picture as their era in music ends.

All in all, lyrics are an important part of any song and the words are the part fans look to the most for inspiration and meaning. Artists who come up with great lyrics are usually the ones most revered long past their prime, so it is important that they focus on this part of a song!

3 Silent Techniques That 'magnetically' Get a Girl to Like You - This One Might Totally Shock You

Do you know that there are some psychological tactics using which you can easily make a girl like you even if you are not too good looking, rich or possess any special qualities? Women have a few emotional buttons which when mastered by you will make her run after you like anything. Read on to discover how you can do that and achieve mind blowing results within no time.......

Get extremely comfortable in your own body- It is a common thing for most women where they feel extremely uncomfortable around a guy who is insecure and low on confidence. You see it's all about how you portray your character in front of her therefore if you come across as insecure she would be willing to spend lesser time with you. At the same time if you are comfortable in your own skin she would be sub-consciously attracted to you.

Shock Me Like

Don't show too much interest- Showing too much interest would simply mean that you are completely into her which gives her a strong feeling that you feel that she is some kind of a princess. You see this is more or less putting her on a pedestal and giving her the stronger emotional edge over you. Never make it obvious to her that you are interested in her.

Show a high social value- Now this means that she should know that other women want you as well. You see women sub-consciously give more marks to a guy who is wanted by other women as well simply due to the fact that being liked by other girl's means there is something special in you and that's the reason why you have so much attention from women. Therefore the level of curiosity would raise and you will get a lot of girls to instantly like you.

How To Force A Woman To Like You No Matter What - Do You Know These Shock-And-Awe Seduction Tactics?

Seduction Tactic #1: Emotional Roller Coaster. The biggest mistake that a guy can do when it comes to trying to please his woman is to try to make her as "happy" as possible. Not many guys know this, but in order to make a woman get ADDICTED to you, you must also make her feel "sad" apart from being "happy".

You see, once you get a woman on an emotional roller coaster of happiness and sadness, you will be able to make her feel emotionally connected with you. In reality, you are giving her the real life "soap opera" that she craves for. When you are able to give this to her, she will have no choice but to always fo anything you tell her to.

Seduction Tactic #2: Assume Rapport. Even if you have just met a girl, talk to her as if you have known her since she wore diapers. Approaching a woman and saying "Hi" is for wimps. Open up with a dating tease - and challenge her immediately. By doing this, you will be miles ahead from other guys - trust me on this. Building rapport is the most IMPORTANT thing you must do immediately upon talking to a woman - remember that.

Word Tattoos - Short Quotes, Song Lyrics and Meaningful Sayings As Texts For Tattoo Designs

If you are so proud of your motto, then why not share it to the whole world. Or if you are going through a period of change in your life and you want to constantly be reminded of that commitment, you can afford to have a reminding system installed on your skin.

lyrics to bottoms up

Words are wonderful ways for you to express your innermost desires and dreams. And since you go out to the real world everyday, why not have that message printed on your skin in ink?

Lyrics

You can come up with any kind of word tattoo. The best thing about this kind of tattoo is that there is less chance of you having the same tattoo as anyone else because you can pretty much come up with your own saying. However, getting a line from your favorite movie or song works well also. Don't worry, not everyone will have the same favorite line as you.

You can even take a cue from these famous personalities from Hollywood.

Angelina Jolie

When it comes to tattoos, no one can ever beat Angelina Jolie with more or less 12 tattoos adorning her amazing body. One of her famous tattoos includes that of an incantation written in Khmer on the back of her shoulder.

David Beckham

Hailed as the hottest king of the field, Beckham isn't shy about being a father. In fact, he has the names of his sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, tattooed on his back.

Britney Spears

One lesson when tattooing spouses' names on any part of your body is the fact that things might not work out right. Learn that lesson from Britney who has her ex, Kfed, tattooed on her body.
