Beginners have so much to learn, that it almost becomes overwhelming. It often takes well over a year for a beginner to even assimilate the basics of workouts and workout principles.

The idea of self-defense conjures up images of Dirty Harry or Bruce Lee, but the reality is a lot more prosaic than that (which helps explain to some degree why such movies are so entertaining). Indeed, for most of human history, self-defense was just another fact of life, another chore in life, and an everyday affair, too. Speaking of movies, one of the most famous cut-scenes in all of cinematic history was in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, near the beginning of the film when an ape throws up into the air a bone he'd just used as a weapon, said bone then "becoming" a cylindrical spacecraft - thus connecting war and technology, a case that's been made by many thinkers through the ages. Far from being some relic of uncivilized times, war and struggle is what has made civilization possible! As the ancient Greek historian Heraclitus remarked, war is the father of all things. Or as an old Roman military manual advised, si vis pacem para bellum - if you seek peace, prepare for war.Self-defense should be taken up as a chore, then, a duty - to oneself, for one's loved ones. It is too often either something frightening or something exciting, thus deterring the right crowd...more

The best way to build your self-esteem is to acquire a college education. So you are tied down in the middle of a career or raising a family and can’t afford to go and attend regular classes? That’s no big deal. Just go in for distance learning. These are particularly difficult times and jobs are harder to come by. As the competitiveness of the employment market increases, those who have acquired a post-high-school qualification by participating in an extra-occupational distance learning course, be it in economics or in business administration, will be several jumps ahead of their rivals. A recent survey showed that one of the most popular courses was distance learning in business administration as this significantly added to one’s employability quotient. The overall training in cost and output accounting systems, concepts of profit and loss and how it can impact the viability of an organization, in finances, control and marketing, economics and above all, training in strategic planning and leadership skills is what gives you that cutting edge advantage in the job market. Those who want to go in for distance learning in economics would be well-advised to choose...more
