It Is Crystal Clear!

There are many occasions when a corporate gift is acceptable. That is from one executive to another. But there are also times when it is not. Take, for example, those times when contracts are being tendered. This is not the time to be sending any gift, expensive or not, as it could be construed as a kind of bribe. However, there are special times when it is very appropriate to send a thank you gift or a gift showing appreciation.



Many companies will have definitive guidelines on what and when anything can be accepted. Over priced gifts may not be the only way to show said appreciation and some companies will have limits set on the value of any gift.



All that being said, there are many and varied styles of gifts for the executive at large. It doesnt always have to be expensive either. A well thought out gift that can be u...see full article

Friendship Poems Reveal The Two Best Qualities In A Friend

There are two basic qualities required in a friend. The first is illustrated in the following poem:

As Flowers Grow

As flowers grow
Their beauty soothes
The eyes within their reach.

As friendships grow
Our hearts accept
The faults that lie in each.

I remember wondering why one of the smartest fellows in my high school class was such a close friend.

I did not feel worthy of his companionship, mostly because he was a straight A student. Yet, we visited each others homes in the summer and spent a lot of time together at school.

Looking back at that unique relationship and analyzing it, I finally concluded that our friendship was based on one major ingredient: acceptance. We accepted each other for who we were-faults included.

This was a major lesson for me and helped me later on in life, including in my marriage. The differences between men and women require an acceptance of each others...see full article

One All Time Favourite Supernatural Experiences In Non Rhyming Poetry

It was late a night around 10pm
A witch had put on a hunt on my life
and the four others with me freaked out
When I told them the whole neighbourhood
was looking to do us violence

We went down a quite street
and my friend was moaning in fear
We stopped in darkness
and a lady came out above us
and took off her top
and her breasts were exposed for all to see
I told the people we had to move on
as the enemy sent her to keep us there

and my friend was crying and making a big sound
I told them all we were surrounded by angels
and that we could walk away and not be seen
and my friend crying had none of it
I asked a seer to have his eyes opened
and he testified that there were hundreds
of angels all around us
and the cloud in the sky was not a cloud
but thousands of angels ready to do battle for us.

Still my friend was weeping

3 Of My Trips To Heaven In Poetry

It was in the midst of an email
I was describing it to a lady
and in my mind I found myself there
and looking at a wall made of Diamonds

Jesus said, "Take one out"
And so I did and it was the size of a soccer ball.
It was so bright and so big
and i sparkled in my hand

I heard God say, "Put it back in the wall."
So I put it back in the wall and it went back perfect
The wall was hundred of feet up
and went for hundreds of feet in front

God seemed to read my mind,
He said,"Do you see that Diamond you had?'
"It could run the government of the USA for 200 years,
and see the size of this wall that goes on for how long you don't know."
"This is what we think of money up here Matthew"

I was perplexed as I thought that one Diamond
It could run the USA government for 200 years,
Yet there was 1000'd of them in the wall,

"the Road" Creates A Rich Visual World But Misses The Poetry

As a master of playing characters with a good and evil duality, Viggo Mortensen is the only actor in the world that could have played the father in "The Road." Although the father isn't exactly evil, he is a good man that has disposed his better virtues because he believes it is better for his son's and his own chances for survival.

On an ash incinerated earth, a little boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) gradually exceeds the faith of his own doubting father and matures beyond his age. In a life that feels as if it is not worth living, the boy in his transcendence finds a connection between the embrace of what's left of humankind and the dream of a better future.

The world catastrophe that has scorched the earth is undefined in both the novel by Cormac McCarthy and in the movie, but what remains is the constant panic of unavailable food and bands of cannibals and slave-herders. Something I closely observed is that two major grueling scenes in the book ...see full article
