Develop an Attitude of Gratitude! Show Your Gratitude on World Gratitude Day!

Take the time today to develop an attitude of gratitude. Take the time to do it not because you want to keep score, because it is the right time to do. Take the time to show your appreciation to someone in your life: your family, your friends, your co-workers. You will never know what a difference it could make in someone's life when you take the time to say "thank you," "job well done," or "I appreciate you and everything you do."

Don't want till tomorrow or next year, do it today and make a difference in someone's life.

So Much Reading, So Little Time, What is One to Do? RapidReader Increases Reading Speed in Minutes!

"Help! I need to increase my reading speed now!"

If you're like me, you have information coming at you 24/7 from a variety of sources: e-mails, books, special reports, magazines, training manuals, vendor information, etc. and it keeps growing. We are under pressure to quickly assimilate this information so that we can make business, career, and life decisions better and faster than ever before.

I have tried various speed reading programs with very little success. I have learned the systems, scanned the pages, used the "index finger" to keep myself on track and not increased my reading speed at all. The problem with these programs is that they force us to learn a reading system that is not natural to us, thereby causing us to fail.

Then it happened that I was exposed to the solution. A vendor, who wanted me to quickly read his product information, explained in his follow-up e-mail that he understands that I am busy and offered a win-win solution---the RapidReader program. The very first time I used RapidReader I fell in love. I found that I was able to instantly increase my reading speed and read the vendor's manual in a matter of minutes.

RapidReader is based on a ten-year research project by John Hopkins University which studied barriers to faster reading. The results revealed that for over 5,000 years we humans set ourselves up for failure by requiring our eyes to move to where written words are instead of letting the words that we read come to us. Not only do we work too hard to read when we must move our eyes to read a page, but we also increase our risk of being distracted during the reading process, both resulting in slower reading speed. RapidReader eliminates the two main barriers to reading speed: eye movement and sounding out words.

RapidReader's "Speed Reading on Demand" is software that easily integrates into applications you use the most, including Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Outlook, and Web Browsers. RapidReader can be installed on your personal computer, laptop, Palm, or mobile phone. Once installed, you simply select a document to read, select the desired reading speed from 100 to 950 wpm, sit back, and your document is converted into a moving panorama of flashing words, much like looking at a movie. The John Hopkins study found that subjects who read text flashed like a movie in one location on a screen read at incredible speeds of up to 1200 wpm. A similar study at the University of Southern California revealed that 86% of subjects significantly increased their reading comprehension over reading on paper when using RapidReader at 300 wpm.

RapidReader takes reading into the 21st century to help us meet today's demands to process information at a breakneck pace. I highly recommend RapidReader for business owners, executives, managers, students, teachers, and anyone else who must process huge amounts of information to succeed.
