Web Video - "Skype.com" and "ooVoo.com"

www.Skype.com or www.ooVoo.com - Which is better for you?

Both great in their own way.
Both offer the Free Option (Free is good).
Skype is primarily for person to person communication.
ooVoo can facilitate from 2-6 people in simultaneous video conference.
Both are user friendly.
Both set up quick.
Both offer a variety of functions to facilitate your communication needs.

I've been using "Skype" now for at least a year. Iive it a thumbs up.

Today out of curiosity (also good advertising caught my attention) I opened a free account with "ooVoo".

Which is better? Really depends on your needs. If just person to person contact is desired then both will suffice. If more people are required to be involved in the communication process, then ooVoo.com will better fulfill that demand.

What I like about "ooVoo" is you can creat and send video messages with great ease and simplicity. By the way, Ease and Simplicity are good also.

Check it out for yourself and have fun with it.

You want to know the truth? Check it out! This is so true.

"Everything's amazing, nobody's happy"

Truth is if you become so unappreciative with the advances we make, or impatient with the lightning speed we now have access to, well then you need a reality check and shut down your brain for a while and reflect on how far we've come. And guess what? Ten years from now, advances will be so great that today will seem like a snail's pace in comparison.

Attitude is Everything!

"How you think determines how you act.
How you act in turn determines:
How others react to you."
- David J. Schwartz, PhD.

Attitude is Everything!

Sometimes the toughest battles are internal. In this modern day we as a society are bombarded by so many stressful distractions. Whether it's your job/work/business security; Your personal relationships are on the brink of termination; Your kid is having a terribly difficult time keeping up with the homework demands and you're their only hope; You're family finances are a financial train wreck just waiting to derail. Whether you realize it or not, what we're experiencing on the inside, we wear on the outside and show it through our body language, the expressions on our face, and the tone of the words that we speak. And consequently, people will be either drawn to you or repelled by you. Perhaps not immediately, but eventually if a particular attitude persists long enough.

The greatest battle is to find those positive elements in your life and constantly remind yourself that there are good things going on in your life worthy of being thankful for. That's hard to do sometimes when we're in the thick of the muck in life. But you have got to do that. You have got to find and focus on those attributes in your life that will lift your spirits up. You have got to find those things worthy of being thankful for. Your mind and your spirit really don't care what you focus on. But your mind and spirit will guide you in your actions and your feelings dependent upon what you focus on. So focus on the good, the positive, the calm, the great, the loving, and the list goes on. Be good to yourself and remind yourself throughout each and every day, of what you are thankful for. Need some examples?

How about these:
You and your family are Healthy
You made it to the next payday and your bank account wasn't in the negative
You are needed, respected, and highly appreciated at your work
Your kids still want to play with you
You passed your most recent challenging exams
You have friends and family that love and care about you
Your pet wags their tail every time they see you
You have the opportunity to pursue your interests
You wake up and it's a beautiful day

I really don't know what it will be in your life. I just know there is something there. And you need to find it and focus on it each and every day. We are not islands. We can not go through life alone. We need the support of others to make it through this crazy life. It is important that we keep our attitude in check and keep the nuances of our life in the proper perspective. Because how you think will determine how you will act. And how you act will determine how others will react to you. And we truly need one another.

Attitude is Everything!

God Bless
