I have learned the hard way, on your behalf, that nearly every other amazing-sounding marketing scheme works...albeit, only to a very small extent.

Hobbies & Games > Kids Games & Toys Barbie dolls: Barbie as a role model for young girls: 4 of 19
I was one of the luckiest little girls on Earth, although I did not know it, at the time. I was nine years old when the Barbie doll was introduced to a wary public.

If you want to write an effective sales letter, think like an advertiser.

Your recipient should be left longing for a chance to purchase your... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center What role should the US play in reducing the production of illicit drugs-such as cocaine and heroin-in places like Bolivia and Afghanistan?: 12 of 44
Human beings are logical, by nature, and simply telling them to not abuse drugs is insufficient to the task.

Somewhere along the way, we, as a nation, became lost. The typical American citizen, mind you, did not become lost...they, still, adhere to the literal parameters of the Constitution of the United States. Rather, our Representatives, Senators, and other Government Officials lost our nation...and their own sense of appreciati... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Reflections: Living every day with passion: 63 of 226

Relatively few Homo sapiens understand the depth of the meaning of "passion", although many long for passion on occasion. Twenty years ago, convinced that I understood "passion", I was living my dreams, day by day. Eighteen when the women marched upon Washington, I, too, abandoned all archaic societal notions and, boldly, tr... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Thanksgiving Taking time to give thanks: 24 of 83
Thank you, GOD! Thank you, everyone! Thank you for all of the wonderful blessings which you have bestowed upon me and everyone else, throughout our lives. I am humble and grateful.

Investing in financial institutions, at this time, is extremely risky. Nevertheless, there are two financial companies which are worthy of your investment dollars, despite the recent debacle befalling other finance houses - MasterCard and Visa.

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What love is all about: 21 of 59
Love is profound and complex, yet, beautiful in it's innocence and simplicity. Love exists for a good reason - life, in and of itself, is beautiful!
