Can you guess what the largest organ of your body is? Nope, not your liver, which is the biggest internal organ, but not the largest of them all. Give up? It's your skin! Yes, that's right. It's an excretory organ, on its own responsible for waste such as urea and sodium to leave your body through its sweat pores. Just when you thought the skin was all about appearance. That's certainly true, but it goes much more skin deep than that. Your skin is your body's vital first line of defense.

Would you know what to do when a wildfire sets ablaze, a flood happens, a hurricane strikes, a tornado hits, or an earthquake occurs or when there is a world crisis of food shortage and everybody in your household is starving? Sounds extreme? Perhaps. But thinking it can't happen to you? Think again! The biggest mistake is to assume such incidents can't happen to you because they certainly can to anyone when least expected, and if you haven't thought about what to do by then, it may be too late.

What is Feng Shui? If this is the first time you've heard of this word, Feng Shui is basically a system of altering the environment harmoniously to one's being for the maximum flow of life energy - what the Chinese called "chi."

Have you ever found yourself being put on the spot talking to somebody unexpectedly or being placed in the spotlight giving an impromptu speech to random people where you have idea what to say?

Whether you want to be an editorial photographer, fashion photographer, event photographer, portrait photographer, commercial photographer, landscape photographer, etc., there are so many paths you could go with photography - as a profession, hobby, or just for fun. But anybody can take a photo you say? On the surface, photography does seem like something anybody and their monkey can do; you hold a camera, focus it, and hit the shutter button.

Basically you are controlled by your moods, and because of the daily grind of everyday life, your moods can spiral out of hand and fill you with negativity: "What if this goes bad?" "What if they don't like me?" "What if I mess up?" Such negative thoughts can have only negative consequences upon your day, such as needless distraction, poor productivity, and wasted energy and time. Thus, don't let negativity beat you around! The good news is you can always redirect how you feel from negative to positive.

You probably have seen it discussed in the news or around the Internet. Heck, you may even have heard your techie friend babbling about at one point when you couldn't care less...until now, with a changed heart and reconsidered mind. We're talking about the next big thing - bitcoin.

The art of networking needs no introduction - you already know just how important it is and if you don't, you will eventually experience first-hand as to why it's so vital - but the inner-working of networking does need introduction because not a lot of people know how to do it, for essentially that's what networking is: introducing yourself and meeting people who could potentially help you.

What is it about those folks who simply have it all - looks, money, power, but most importantly...the ability to influence, persuade, and lead other people. What is this factor that draws others in and gets them to follow these natural leaders with undying loyalty and enthusiasm to the very end...because nobody can achieve success alone. It certainly does seem like an otherworldly magical quality, doesn't it?

In order to save money shopping, you need to do what others don't do and look where others don't look...because whenever there is word of a gold mine, it will be over before anybody else has the chance to pick up a shovel. You need to approach discount shopping and bargain hunting from a different angle, like pro shoppers do.

Having a garden offers many rewarding benefits, from having a beautiful cultivated space to look at, fresh air to breathe, and free foods to sustain yourself on your own, as well as even medicinal supplies in your very own backyard through growing your own herbs. Then why don't more people venture into gardening? Because they think it takes a lot of work, they need to have a huge space, not to mention if they don't' even have a yard, or they simply don't know how to start a garden.

Having a well-trained, obedient dog that will listen to your every command and even be able to do fancy tricks impressing those around, as a result of your training. Why should you train your dog yourself when you can get somebody else to do it? Because it's your dog! If you let somebody else train your dog, it will associate a stronger bond with the other person that you could have built, which far outweighs any new dog tricks. By training your dog personally, you strengthen the dog-owner relationship shared between the both of you. So be your dog's own trainer.
