Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 31, 2013

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review.  After the experiment comes the review.  It turns out that mediators need review also, including review of what's going on with both sides, that require this mediation. 

Word for the Day: Monday, December 30, 2013

The Word for Yesterday (Monday) was Experimentation.  When I took High School Chemistry, I remember one way to tie experimentation with mediation, with mediation required between the teacher and the students, due to disagreements on the experiments themselves.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 29, 2013

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition.  Mediating between people who don't recognize each other?  Recognizing mediators?  There are examples of the first, like countries that don't acknowledge each other's existence.  They could need mediation the most! 

Weekly Theme: Week of 12/29/2013 to 1/04/2014

The Theme for this Week is Mediation.  As described on Wikipedia, this can be an awesome career path. In a nutshell, this is conflict resolution.  Usually thought of as an international position, it's also important in a single country, such as resolving conflicts between political parties, or between a corporation and its employees.  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 28, 2013

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve.  Cooperative Resolve?  Resolve to Cooperate?  Both, actually.  Resolutions made by a group, that can help each other can be powerful.  (Example, a group that wants to quit drinking together?  Certainly:  Alcoholics Anonymous).  On the other side, a resolution to behave in a way that leads to cooperating better can also help.

Word for the Day: Friday, December 27, 2013

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage.  Cooperative Courage?  Absolutely:  When more than one person is willingly and (hopefully) happily cooperating with each other, I believe much more courage can be found, both for things that can be accomplished, as well as the courage to say "no", when needed.

Words for the Day: Thursday, December 26, 2013

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment.  How do these connect with Cooperation (our Theme)?  Simple:  Two or more people, cooperating with each other have more strength, and are more empowered than single people are, especially if they are competing with each other.

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 25, 2013

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  Competent cooperation?  (Could include helping someone without getting in the way).  How about cooperating to become competent?  (Could be a teacher helping a student, both by the usual tasks of a teacher and, possibly with individual help, be more competent in his/her class).

Have a very competent Christmas!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 24, 2013

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance.  How does Cooperation (our Theme) come together with Endurance?  There's a type of competition called "Tag Team".  Imagine my surprise when I learned this is about Wrestling, because I thought it was a general term.  But even here, it has meaning, because the entire match is easier for each person to endure, as long as each member of the team equally pulls his/her weight.

Word for the Day: Monday, December 23, 2013

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility.  There are, of course, more than one connotation for Fertility, including a fertile imagination.  That said, even the conventional "be fruitful and multiply" connotation works best with maximum cooperation, as well as communication.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 22, 2013

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability.  And I believe that things can be quite a bit more stable, when people just cooperate with each other.  Why?  Because, in my opinion, "rampant competition" (especially if unfair, such as a huge corporation undercuts small businesses, even "inspiring" some of them to close), can only end in instability and hardship, especially for those who lost their jobs in the smaller businesses.

Weekly Theme: Week of December 22-28, 2013

The Theme for this Week is Cooperation.  This is considered an important enough word, to have a Wikipedia page.  Some people consider Competition to be an exact opposite, but I disagree because, among other things, a corporation that competently competes with other corporations, needs employees, working for it, cooperating with each other.

One special example, which I believe contains the spirit of this Theme:  There are two people, one of which works for company A, and the other of which works for company B.  These two companies are direct competitors.  However, these two people are good friends with each other, and might cooperate in general matters, such as both volunteering for the same school.  They might also enjoy, say, eating dinner together.  If they keep careful boundaries, they can "personally cooperate", even while keeping from any corporate conversations, allowing for corporate competition.

In general, I believe that the best direction for this World is for more cooperation and less competition.  Thank you!

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 21, 2013

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release.  Last Thursday, I mentioned a Contrast Knob (so you can keep your life somewhere between scary and boring).  Somewhere in the same scene, you might find a Release Lever, just in case you find yourself stuck.  Stuck?  These things happen, probably to everybody at some time.  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Friday, December 20, 2013

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.  Before we bring in our Theme (Circulation), I wish to state that my favorite context for this Word is, "I aspire to be my personal best".

That said, there are all sorts of "medical definitions" for this Word that fit our Theme, such as aspirating blood from the lungs, so that they can "circulate" air, through the body.

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 19, 2013

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  If your life seems to be going badly, go into the scene you are in, and look around closely.  You are looking for a "contrast knob".  If you can find it, you are doing well, because too much contrast can be scary, yet too little can be boring.  Good luck!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 18, 2013

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability.  This trait, also called Flexibility, is an exceptional one, which will take you far.  As to circulation, my opinion is that a general flexibility, in life, helps your heart circulate your blood, because it avoids hardening of the arteries, which often begin with "hardening of the opinions".

Words for the Day: Tuesday, December 17, 2013

The Words for Yesterday (Tuesday) were Agility and Grace.  These are great traits to have, in any case, and can be developed by Yoga.  As for circulation, I'll just point out that good blood circulation can help with both of these traits.  (And yes, I'm a day late.  You can feel free to complain, using the comment system.  The only reason for moderation of comments is to avoid automated "comment spam", that has destroyed many BLOG's in the past.  As for humans, with differing views from me, I welcome them in any of my BLOG's).

Word for the Day: Monday, December 16, 2013

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration.  Accelerated Circulation?  Well, certainly!  It works with the two examples I gave earlier.  In a library setting, you can accelerate the circulation of books and ideas, both by better advertising and, in some cases, by decreasing the length of time you can keep the book, before returning it.  In the other example, a water company, accelerated circulation is simpler:  Just keep the pipes clean, and unclogged.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 15, 2013

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  These are both good traits to "circulate" around your life.  And they are good traits to have, if you wish to make a career around circulation, such as a librarian (circulating books), or at a water company (circulating water around a community).

Weekly Theme: Week of December 15-21, 2013

The Theme for this Week is Circulation.  There could easily be two meanings to this, even in the original context (Global Job).  They both have the same basis, but one is circulating fluids, such as blood through a body, or water through a town.  The other is circulating ideas, such as a public library or something like Google.  How this combines with the Words for this week needs to be determined.

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 14, 2013

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement.  First, let me acknowledge that celebration (our Theme) is good, acknowledge that the earlier Words this week (especially yesterday's, Kindness) are great, and note that it takes knowledge to acknowledge people who help you in your life.

Word for the Day: Friday, December 13, 2013

The Word for Today (Friday) is Kindness.  First, I believe this Word counteracts any superstitions, regarding luck, or lack of luck, regarding this being Friday, the 13th.  :-)

Also, I believe this Word goes fantastic with our Theme, because kindness, especially if unexpected, is something that can be celebrated.

Finally, a charge:  I recommend (even on days other than this one) performing random and unexpected acts of kindness.  Thank you!

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 12, 2013

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Encouragement.  This ties in with our Theme, Celebration in both directions.  For example, I fully encourage celebration, even for "small things", like when some detail of your life went well.  Also, I celebrate encouragement, especially if something "awesome" is being encouraged, such as performing acts of tomorrow's Word, Kindness!  :-)

(One note about tomorrow:  I find it awesome, that Friday, the 13th falls on a day with the Word, Kindness.  Sounds lucky to me).

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 11, 2013

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Thoughtfulness.  What do you get, when you break this word up?  Full of Thought!  I interpret this as thinking, before speaking and/or acting.  And when you see this, in the world, it's absolutely something to celebrate.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 10, 2013

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Support.  And having a good Support Group is definitely something to celebrate.  That goes without saying.  However, the part that people don't always think of?  Being part of somebody else's Support Group is also something to celebrate!

Word for the Day: Monday, December 9, 2013

The Word for Today (Monday) is Comfort.  And comfort can absolutely be something to celebrate, especially with the crazy weather that is occurring all over Planet Earth.  (Note:  Even people with little or no money can go to the Public Library for a place of comfort).

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 8, 2013

The Word for Yesterday (Sunday) is Nourishment.  (First, I was in a travel situation, and regret missing a day, at least in the Eastern Time Zone).  However, this ties in well with our Theme, because what better thing to celebrate, than good nourishment?

Weekly Theme: Week of December 8-14, 2013

The Theme for this Week is Celebration.  If a person has experiences, that he/she interprets badly, one response to the word, celebration is, "Celebrate what??!!"  Well, obviously this depends on the life situation you are in.  If you are able to read this BLOG, you can celebrate the fact that you are alive.  :-)

Please note that this Week marks the beginning of a Michael Month, with the Role of Sage.

Word for the Day: Saturday, December 7, 2013

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Prosperity.  And yes, people do prosper from giving revelations.  Some do it from the Positive Pole, by being crystal clear.  (And I've benefited from paying for some of their revelations).  But some others prosper from the Negative Pole, by being something "less than ethical" about it.  There is a movie, Ghost, about a woman (played by Whoopi Goldberg), who started from the negative pole, but ended up, operating out of the positive pole.  I highly recommend it.

Word for the Day: Friday, December 6, 2013

The Word for Today (Friday) is Liberation.  Liberating from Revelation?  Revelation helping to liberate one from limitations?  I'll pick the second any day.  Thank you.  :-)

Word for the Day: Thursday, December 5, 2013

The Work for Today (Thursday) is Wisdom.  Wise revelations?  Revelations about how to develop wisdom?  (Hint:  Life Experience aces book reading).  But both of these can be important. 

Word for the Day: Wednesday, December 4, 2013

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Impartiality.  Yes, this connects with the Theme, by making it easier to decode the revelation, without putting so much of our own opinions into it.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, December 3, 2013

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence.   OK. So you get a revelation [our Theme], either from somebody else, or from a personal experience. What you do with this (whether to share it, WHO to share it with, whether to hold it to yourself, or even whether to ignore it) has a consequence. However, it might not be immediately certain what the DETAILS are of that consequence.

Word for the Day: Monday, December 2, 2013

The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination.  Once again, I don't believe this means to eliminate Revelation, but to eliminate what gets in the way of the clear mind, that makes revelation easier.

Word for the Day: Sunday, December 1, 2013

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance.  Statistically, people seem to be so dependent on others, that the fact that human beings could be self-reliance might seem to be a "surprising Revelation".

Weekly Theme: Week of December 1-7, 2013

The Theme for this Week is Revelation.  I used Google to "define revelation", getting two distinct definitions.  The first is, simply "a surprising, and previously unknown fact...", but the second, "divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence or the world", shows the religious connotations for this word.
