INFO: More great quotes from Albert Einstein | Reviews, Tests & Technical Information

Here's just a few to begin with. What an amzing man!

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”
“God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically.”
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
“Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
“Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.”
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
“A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”

5 Twitter Tips You May Not Know

As Twitter turns the corner on the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” and heads full speed ahead into the “Trough of Disillusionment,” I thought I’d share 5 tips that have continued to make Twitter a meaningful, useful tool. Some of these you may know, some may be new. This is aside from new features coming like Twitter Lists and the ability to report spammers directly from the web version. If you know of others I’d love to hear them.

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like and like so many things we don't do?
4. When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
5. What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?
6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
8. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
9. To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken?

10 Twitter tools to effectively manage your followers - Daily SEO blog

Managing your followers and friends on Twitter is not easy. But its a fact that your success ratio and influence power is directly proportional to how active your followers are. I’ve realized that rather than who follows you or how many people follow you, its important to know whom you are following and how active they are.

Some of the factors that will determine your influence power on Twitter are
- How active your followers are.

- Do they ReTweet your tweets.

- Whether they are regularly updated and have a good following.

- Are those whom you follow, following you back etc.

With the default options on Twitter, its not really easy to manage your followers, but here are some interesting web based applications that I found to be of great help. Hope you find them useful too.

I'm going to be the best I can be because of the wealth of knowledge and thought-provoking opinions others share (as freely as ever).

The Perfect Apology - A Guide to Personal and Business Apologies.

Need The Perfect Apology?

Make things right by delivering the perfect personal or business apology for every situation.

Get your life back on track by understanding the most effective and creative ways to apologize. Learn successful approaches, styles, and techniques for getting out of the doghouse with your spouse, friends, family members, customers, partners, and business associates.

Find great examples, unique ideas, and every answer you need to uncover and deliver that perfect apology.

If you need to say "I'm sorry" but aren't sure how to start, then you've come to the right site!

We've all been there--messing up, well, makes us human. But how we clean up the mess often makes us more successful in our personal and business lives. And using effective apologies inevitably elicits more respect from friends and colleagues.

Asking for forgiveness requires a little more time and effort than just writing apology letters or uttering a few simple words.

Apologizing is both an art AND a science; truly thoughtful apologies rebuild relationships, but a careless, rushed or thoughtless "I'm sorry" will do more harm than good--so be careful in what you say and do!

We also reveal the secrets and techniques used by professional writers, scholars, publicists, public relations experts and media gurus.

The key to success is to ask for forgiveness in the right way, at the right time.

So, are you in the doghouse, or in a jam? Is a loved one giving you the look? Are you getting the silent treatment? Did you forget an important date? Did you hurt or betray someone? Do you deserve an apology yourself?

Is the office party over, and are you dreading the return to work? Is one of your customers looking to your competitors for help? Did you forget an important meeting? Are police officers knocking at your door?

How do you apologize? How have others succeeded? What works and what doesn't? What triggers forgiveness? How do you make someone understand how sorry you really are? And when should you NOT apologize?

Remember, "to err is human...", and for every mistake there is a perfect apology

Now let's find yours...
