Three Wise Men From the Past Return to Inspire Workers
San Luis Obispo, CA (ContentDesk) June 8, 2004--A recent survey in the Gallop Management Journal states that almost 80% of employees are unhappy with their jobs. This "unhappiness" results in a negative impact of approximately 300 billion dollars on business every year. Companies striving to cut costs - instead of people - are finding some inspiration and advice in a new book called "Masters of Motivation." Compiled and edited by successful entrepreneur and motivational speaker Bob Garner, the book unites for the first time, the one hundred year old classic works "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen; "The Art of Money-Getting" by P.T. Barnum, and "Acres of Diamonds" by Russell Conwell. This updated and "gender friendly" compilation not only contains concepts on improving one's attitudes, but also, according to Tom Burger, Senior Vice-President of NEC America, "It includes a variety of ideas, strategies and principles that relate to many of today's relevant and important business issues." Burger adds "Masters of Motivation should be in the hands of every business person ? from executives to front line employees."Echoing that statement are numerous executives, employees, sales reps and entrepreneurs who are discovering numerous modern day applications for this age old wisdom.
Anthony J. Parkinson, President & CEO, Insession Technologies calls "Masters of Motivation" a "must read" saying, "It is a time-tested blend of ideas and teachings that will empower any type of organization or individual. Andrew Warner, Director of Training at the Tampa Tribune agrees saying, "Each work provides usable information that I can benefit from ? both personally and professionally." In addition to heightening attitude and self-improvement, the book features information on how to save and make money, be a better employee or employer, increase sales, grow a business, and save a career. "Masters" also attacks excuses that people use for not being more productive and achieving success, as well as the myths - fostered by many - regarding wealth. Business and community leaders, as well as entrepreneurs, and politicians will find the section that literally destroys the belief that in order to be successful one must leave the town in which they now live and head for bigger cities - fascinating.Students of history know that many of the worries, concerns, and aspirations that people have today are very similar to ones people had in the past.
"Masters of Motivation" seems to not only shine light from the annals of history to provide answers for today, but also, perhaps, gives the old saying "Respect your elders" a new lease on life. Released in April 2004 by Sunday & Weiss Publishing, "Masters of Motivation" is available nationwide at Borders or online at www.sundayandweiss.com.Media Contact: Bob Garner (888.811.8465) For interviews and more information.Masters of Motivation is available for $12.95 nationwide and online at www.sundayandweiss.comMasters of Motivation ISBN: 0-9744424-5-3.

Wedding Ring
The wedding ring is a ring that will often be made from precious metals, and it will be worn on the left ring finger. It is also worn on the right ring finger in countries such as Norway or Russia. The purpose of a wedding ring is to represent a marriage. Both spouses will wear rings to show that they are commited to each other. The custom originated in Europe, but has spread to many other countries which are outside of Europe.
In some cultures the wedding ring is only one of three rings that will be given when a couple is in the process of getting married.
The other two rings are the engagement ring and the promise ring. The engagement ring is well known, and will be given when a couple has become engaged. A promise ring is not as well known, but will be given once a couple begins courting each other. In many European countries, the name of the soon to be spouse will be placed within the ring. While wedding rings have traditionally be worn by women, wedding rings...

London before the War to End all Wars
At the start of the 20th century, London was a larger, busier place than it had ever been before. One could buy fresh fish from Billingsgate, meat from Smithfield Market, flowers and vegetables from Covent Garden, clocks from Clerkenwell Road, diamonds from Hatton Garden; all kinds of goods were readily available.
As a thriving centre of trade London had become very much the centre of the world's largest empire. Giant liners traversed the oceans; electric lighting was beginning to appear, and horseless carriages could occasionally be seen on the streets. Many of the things destined to play a major part in twentieth-century life were here already.
But at the same time for most people there was little difference between this London and the city of fifty years previously. Victoria was still on the throne; there was still dire poverty, and those who were without work had to survive on charity and scavenging.
