ADVICE Using Hand Held Dictionaries

Filed under: House Of Publishing — admin @ 9:13 pm

Hand held are dictionaries are very popular these days. There are many different types and many different ways that you can benefit from them. I mean, when have you ever been out and thought “I could use a dictionary” but you don’t have a book with you? We can’t always carry a dictionary in our back pocket? Or, can we?

With a hand held electronic dictionary, you can have a dictionary in your back pocket at all times. Whether you are in medical school and it is a medical dictionary, or if you are in a foreign country and it is a language dictionary, you can use a hand held dictionary to your benefit.

What Are Hand Held Dictionaries?

Hand held electronic dictionaries come in many different types and forms and are great because they are portable. You can have your dictionary with you at any time. Whatever type that you have, you can benefit from having it with you. Whether it is a pocket PC or cell phone technology, you can have instant information at your fingertips.

How They Can Benefit You

You might be able to benefit from a hand held dictionary in the same way that Tom did. Tom was Executive Coordinator for his business and he was often asked to make speeches and give live reports of what was happening in his business. Well, Tom had been public speaking for a long time and he felt pretty confident in front of his colleagues but writing was not his strong point.

He sometimes went through stress while writing his speeches and reports and sometimes spent hours with a dictionary, a thesaurus and a word processing program to get it all right. But once, while at a business conference in Atlanta , he was asked to fill in for someone who fell sick and give a speech in front of the entire convention. While being in front of people did not bother him, the actual speech writing was a bit of a problem.

So while stuck in his hotel room preparing at the last minute, he got a great idea partly out of desperation. He ran out to the store and purchased a hand held dictionary which helped him write his speech in less than 45 minutes. The next morning he gave a fantastic and intelligent speech and shortly after was offered a promotion. Now his hand held electronic dictionary goes everywhere with him. How can a hand held electronic dictionary help you?

Everything You Write Is A Lesson

Filed under: House Of Publishing — admin @ 9:34 am

Many years ago I wrote a book. Then I wrote another, and another, five in all. Though I have 12 published books to my credit, those first five have never been published, nor will they be. They aren’t good enough. However, I treasure them because they taught me much about writing, lessons I could never have learned from reading about writing, or from lectures that tell me how to write. These books are the foundation of my writing, each one better than the previous one.

I never tried to get the first book published. It was a novel based on my ancestor, Henry Comstock, for whom the Nevada silver mine, the “Comstock Lode,” was named. Henry, unfortunately, sold the mine cheaply to someone he called a “California sucker.” That sucker was George Hurst, who later founded the Hearst family publishing business (and fortune) from proceeds of mine. Uh, I mean from proceeds of the mine. Ahhh … it’s a good story, a true story, but I knew when I finished it that it didn’t read like something a “real” writer would have written. So I filed it; but I had learned from it.

With the next books, I approached publishers and received form-rejection slips for my efforts. In presenting the fifth book, the rejections came back with personal notes scribbled on themencouraging notes! Meantime, I had written many articles, stories and scripts that were published. So, when I got a call from an editor who said, “Can you develop a book for us based on one of your articles?” I was ready! After all, there were five bookslessonsin my files. I knew I had the ability to finish a long-term project.

The points here are: Don’t let rejection destroy your dream. Don’t dwell on rejected material. Believe that everything you write is a lesson; and learn it well.

As former associate editor of Florida Hotel & Motel Journal, she contributed 78 feature articles to that magazine.

5 Easy Steps To Writing Your Appealing Letter

Filed under: House Of Publishing — admin @ 2:07 am

You must write a hypnotic persuasion letter to help you achieve all your goals! Get the boss to give your a raise, induce that beautiful blue-eyed girl to be your lover and persuade your mother to buy a BMW Z3 for you this summer.

Give me twenty minutes and I’ll teach you step-by-step my secret writing your own success system. If you follow this 5 steps formula of writing, you’ll never fail in this age of persuasion. Keep reading!

My 5-step formula consists of

  1. Find Your Goal and Purpose for Writing

  2. Write Down Your Goal

  3. Visualization

  4. Write Like You Talk (KISS rule)

  5. Make It Perfect

Let me explain it to you step by step!

1. Find Your Goal and Purpose for Writing

Every success begins with a simple goal which includes hypnotic writing. You should come up with your main goal for writing. SUCCESS=GOAL+DEADLINE. Once you set your writing goal in your mind, you’ll know the path to success. You must hold that point when you want to really achieve something valuable. Please see the example below.

Bad: I just write.

Good: I want to write this letter to persuade Joe to give me a book for free!

Better: I certainly CAN write a hypnotic letter to persuade Joe to give me a book for free before 01 July 2001.

2. Write Your Goal Down

Have you ever read the story of John in Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen’s original Chicken Soup for the Soul? On one rainy day, when it was too wet outside to play, he decided to write a list of goals. John continued writing until he had 127 goals. These goals included exploring the Nile River, climbing high mountain peaks around the world and learning 3 foreign languages. Do you know the result?

Of the 127 goals that he listed over 60 years ago, John has achieved 108.

Why?

Because he Wrote It Down!

You must write it down on your desk, your wallet, your bath room and even on the wall in your men’s room. Every time you see that bold goal, you’ll notice you must take action now. With many repetitions, the words themselves will send a mighty command to your subconscious mind to make your dream into reality. Try it today!

3. Visualization

In the Bible it is written “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4) Also it says to us “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” (Proverbs 23:7)

You mind think uses images instead of words. Therefore, Imagination X Vividness = Reality.

Learn to meditate. Then do it. No miracle will ever happen if you neglect this step. You can practice writing and persuasion skills in your mind. Practice makes perfect!

4. Write Like You Talk (KISS rule)

You can’t write one sentence, right?

But you CAN talk non-stop about anything for a whole day, right?

Put your talk in writing. That’s your masterpiece.

Simple, right?

It works! Keep It Simple Stupid. Write like you talk. Wite to your best friend. Write to your dream lover! You aren’t afraid where to start, go and stop. What you say to your listeners is hypnotic and magic in print.

5. Make It Perfect

You can’t achieve your goal with just one word or an attractive headline, right?

You can persuade anybody with your whole message. The sentence, structure and word combination make you a winner. You must think about the organization of your material. Every word. Every sentence. Every punctuation mark. Remember everything has a common function for your result. You are not training a MVP of the year. You must own a Dream Team.

Seminars Expert Offers 3 Tips For Introducing Yourself & Establishing Credibility

Filed under: House Of Publishing — admin @ 6:45 pm

I’ll never forget watching the president of a mutual company introduce himself.

He actually put his resume on the screen for all to see.

The problem, from my view, is that his accomplishments were few, and the document actually made me doubt his right to speak before the group.

If the purpose of introducing yourself is to establish your credibility and to predispose your audience positively toward your message, then his effort backfired.

You don’t want this to happen. Fortunately, it is rare and avoidable.

There are three things you want to establish in a solid introduction:

(1) There is no one better suited to addressing this topic at this time than you;

(2) You have earned the right to speak, by virtue of the dues you have paid, your experiences; and

(3) You are a likable person.

What have you done, where have you studied, what posts have you been assigned to that have led to this magical moment? These are some of the points you can cover succinctly that will set the stage properly for your talk.

For example, when conducting telephone communication seminars I’ve made a point of saying that I got into the business almost at birth; that my dad was a tremendous telephone communicator and salesperson, and I used to listen aptly to him.

Then, I go on to say that my first white collar job was as a telephone collector at 18, as a top sales rep for Time-Life at 19, and so forth.

But the point is made: NOBODY in the room can claim more experience, more vital awareness of the power of the medium, than yours truly.

But the key to a good introduction is to avoid sounding pompous or arrogant, to sound likeable.

By referring to my dad’s prowess, I’m tapping into the power of family legacy, showing respect for where and from whom I come, and this is especially endearing to older audiences that revere tradition and roots.

Naturally, you’ll want to do a little audience analysis of your own, to determine what will resonate, and then ring those chimes.

I’ve experimented over the years with ultra-short introductions, believing they might sound more modest or less threatening, but they don’t work. To seem credible, you need to be an expert, at least in your arena, so be thorough in staking out this claim.

After you do, your task of informing, persuading, or even entertaining will be a lot easier!
