The powerful eight step motivation plan that anyone SERIOUS about learning Spanish should read

The powerful eight step motivation plan that anyone SERIOUS
about learning Spanish should read, by Kai Chandler
The key to learning any language is not ability, or money, or
time, but motivation. There are probably as many unused
language courses gathering dust as there are unused exercise
machines!
While poorly thought out goals can only act as a barrier to
learning, well defined goals, frequently revisited, and written
large, are a great enabler.
So, why are YOU learning Spanish?
Is it because
* with about 400 million speakers, Spanish is the fourth most
commonly spoken language in the world (after English, Chinese
and Hindustani), and probably has more native speakers than
English?
* there are over 40 million Spanish speakers in the United
States alone?

Deceptive Public Speakers
Deceptive Public Speakers and presenters - or just the blind leading the blind?A disappointing deception is being perpetrated in the so-called public speaking and presenting arena. For years it's been a (now fading, thank God) ?norm' for companies to have a ?motivational' speaker at annual marketing, sales and other conferences. Being a veteran public speaker and founding member of the National Speakers' Association of SA (NSASA), I need to declare an interest. The purpose of this article is to 1) Alert relevant parties to the ?canned' nature of what they may be getting for their speaker money and 2) Hopefully save some young wanna-be speakers from going down a highly inappropriate and ?ersatz' road.My opinion of the role of an authentic public speaker is that one takes a brief to get enough information to really understand the audience and the intended outcome of the assignment or conference. You then custom-craft something or ?tweak' an existing suitable presentation for the event...

More Functions Added with Land Rover Electrical Parts
The Land Rover was first produced by Rover in 1948. And this automobile and vehicle brand is actually one of the very first vehicles that could be owned by civilians and yet could actually be used anywhere else. It is considered to be an all terrain utility vehicle. However, this division of Rover went off its own way. At present, it continually produces a large line of vehicles that have been crafted just like the original set of vehicles that has made this brand known all over the globe.
Even if these Land Rover vehicles have been designed, crafted, and manufactured so as to be able to tackle any kind of terrain and go through every possible piece of land on the top of the earth, the company has certainly made sure that they would be providing not only a very functional vehicle but also a safe vehicle as well. Proof that Land Rover certainly has been doing its part when it comes to safety is that the United Kingdom's Department of Transport's statistics...
