make someone happy - Networking Ahead for Business

On the last day of the year, I like to spend a few minutes reflecting upon my year: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. I pulled out the carefully prepared 2012 New Year?s Resolutions and Personal Goals that typed and printed.? I had kept this list visible in my kitchen for most of the year, but it managed to get buried under the piles of family paperwork near the telephone. I just saw it again for the first time in a while.

Over-goal setting

I chuckled when I looked at the length of the goal list and the incredible detail behind my intentions. While other people may write down things like ?lose weight? or ?spend more time with friends,? I had carefully crafted a list of 14 goals, many with multiple goals within each goal.

Yes. I am an overachiever. That being said, I reached 5 of the 14 goals, including my major health goal and financial goal. I gave myself partial credit for Goal #12 which was to earn a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I tested for that belt in November, which is likely to be awarded in 3-6 months or so (the final test of patience).

New Years Resolution for 2013

While walking the dog this morning with my husband, I asked him about his 2013 New Year?s Resolution. He said ?to spend more time making my wife happy.? I was so deeply touched that I stopped in my tracks. Wow! What an incredible focus ? on someone other than yourself!

I have been pondering his remarks the better part of the day. Part of me is in conflict with the idea that you can make someone else happy. After all, we are each in charge of our own happiness. No one can make you happy or mad without your permission. Certainly, external events trigger our emotional states, but each of us has the power to alter our state in an instant. That is what I believe to be true after my two year training in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I am also not the kind of person who would delegate the responsibility of my own happiness to someone else. I would find that very dis-empowering.

So now I have a choice. How do I want to experience my 2013? What decisions, actions and attitudes do I want to carry forward into the brand new year?

• Do I dedicate my year to making other people happy? Or do I put more energy and focus on making myself happier (join my husband in investing in me, wonderful me!)
• Do I need another 14 measurable goals that will put me into that high achieving accomplishment mode? Will this make me successful and happy?
• Do I need to recite the Serenity Prayer and work on accepting the things that I cannot change? Perhaps I could theme 2013 The year of acceptance?
• God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
• The courage to change the things I can,
• And the wisdom to know the difference.
• Do I experiment with what radio host Mary Jones does with her monthly challenges, rather than new year?s resolutions? Model what she does so well for herself and her listeners? Who says you have to make it up all by yourself. Modeling excellence is in itself a form of excellence.
• Do I embrace the motivating words of Karen Lamb ? ?A year from now you may wish you had started today.? What should I start? Or perhaps the question is what should I finish?

People help make anything possible

As I prepare myself to enter into the year 2013, I will try to remember the importance of relationships in my life. People and connections have always been an incredible source of energy, encouragement, resource and motivation for me. No matter what struggles that I face, my network has been there for me. That network includes family, friends, business associates, neighbors, readers and even strangers (or friends that I haven?t yet met). That includes you. Thank you for being part of my network.

Your Networking Goal for the Week (first week of 2013)

Whatever theme, resolution or goal(s) you decide upon for 2013, make sure that you share it with the people in your network (personal and professional networks). Allow people to help you get where you want to go, even if it is the popular destination called happiness.

Bolivia expropriates Spanish energy subsidiaries

Marked with signs reading: "Nationalized," soldiers stand guard outside the offices of Electropaz, an electricity distribution subsidiary of the Spanish energy company Iberdrola, in La Paz, Bolivia, Saturday, Dec. 29. 2012.

The decree read by Morales also calls for Iberdrola to receive indemnification after an independent firm is hired within 180 days to determine the value of the nationalized shares. (AP Photo)

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) ? President Evo Morales nationalized the Bolivian electricity distribution subsidiaries of the Spanish energy company Iberdrola in a public ceremony Saturday.

Morales issued a decree allowing the takeover of shares in Empresa de Electricidad de La Paz (Electropaz) and Empresa de Luz y Fuerza de Oruro (Elfeo), which supply energy in this Andean nation.

Soldiers guarded the installations of the electricity distribution companies, marked with signs reading: "Nationalized."

In the ceremony at Bolivia's government palace, Morales also announced the expropriation of an investment management company and a service provider belonging to the Spanish energy giant.

Morales said he had "been forced to take this step" to ensure that electric service rates remain "equitable" in the regions of La Paz and Oruro.

The Spanish government said in a statement that it regretted Bolivia's decision to nationalize companies that included "Spanish, Argentine and American companies among its shareholders."

Spain said it hoped "the process of assessing the value of the nationalized company is done with high standards of objectivity that would establish the just compensation to which shareholders are entitled."

Telephone calls and emails seeking comment from Iberdrola in Spain were not immediately answered.

The decree read by Morales calls for Iberdrola to receive indemnification after an independent firm is hired within 180 days to determine the value of the nationalized shares.

Morales in May also nationalized Transportadora de Electricidad belonging to Spanish company Red Electrica, which controlled 74 percent of energy transmission in Bolivia.

In his first year in office in 2006, the Bolivian president nationalized the oil industry through a renegotiation of contracts with a dozen oil companies, including Repsol, Petrobras, BG and Total.

In 2009 Morales transferred to state control the country's largest telephone operator, which had been controlled by Italy's ETI, and in 2010 he did the same with the four largest power generators, which had belonged to French-owned Suez, Rurelec of Britain and Bolivian shareholders.

Russian police free child hostage, kill seven militants in Dagestan

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian security forces killed seven militants and freed a 6-year-old girl taken hostage in the restive Dagestan region of Russia's volatile North Caucasus on Saturday, a national anti-terrorism committee official told Interfax news agency.

The incident took place in an apartment building in the provincial capital of Makhachkala, according to the Interfax report. The militants broke through a wall, entered an apartment and took the girl hostage, according to the report.

"However, as a result of coordinated and professional actions of the special forces, the child was set free and the remaining bandits were neutralized," an anti-terrorism committee representative was quoted as saying.

The Interfax report identified the leader of the militants involved in the incident as Gadzhimurat Dolgatov and said he was among the seven killed. The report said those killed had previously served sentences for crimes including murder, extortion, theft and robbery.

During the incident, the militants opened fire and threw a grenade at the special forces personnel while trying to flee, but no security forces were hurt, Interfax reported.

Rebels who say they are fighting for an Islamic state in the strip of North Caucasus provinces often target police and security forces as well as government officials and mainstream Muslim leaders in attacks.

Rights activists say the insurgency is also driven by poverty and anger at the heavy-handed tactics of the Russian security forces.

Q&A: Thoughts And Feelings From Past Relationships | The 5 Love ...

Q&A: Thoughts And Feelings From Past Relationships

December 28, 2012

Q: I?m having a hard time separating from thoughts and feelings from?past relationships. I?m dating seriously now and want to be able to focus solely on her.

A: This a common problem. Everything we?ve experienced in the past is recorded in our brain. And when we?ve had intimate relationships in the past, sometimes even involving sexual activity, all those memories are still in the mind and they come back from time to time.

So, what I suggest is this: you take those things to God and say, ?Lord you know what I?m remembering and you know how troubling it is to me. Would you let the blood of Christ flow over those past memories so that they are not so sharp in my mind, so that they become dull in my mind, and I can focus on the relationship that I?m in now.?

There has to be healing in those memories before we can go forward.

Samsung expands Silicon Valley crib with 1.1 million square foot R&D center

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most extravagant flashy lifestyle, the deluxe villa, the fly palace of Samsung Semiconductor Inc. It only exists as a pile of architects' drawings right now, and probably looks nothing like the Minecraft wonderment shown above, but when it's finished the 10-story San Jose structure will boast the following:

• A new sales and R&D center, built in the stead of some existing Samsung offices, with floor space totaling 1.1 million square feet.
• A layout that seeks to "encourage interaction among staff" and "foster connections with the community," while ultimately improving Sammy's "soft capabilities"
• A parking garage and an "amenity pavilion" (whatever that is, we just know we can't afford one)

So, that's pretty much it in terms of detail. But to put all this into perspective, we're talking about an HQ that will be slightly bigger than Apple's recent 3,600-worker expansion in Austin, Texas -- or around a third the size of an infinite loop.
