What do you think of when you hear that someone is ???smart???? You probably conjure up an image of an intelligent person. But being ???smart??? is so much more than being able to answer trivia questions and scoring highly on tests. Smart people are also compassionate, imaginative, humble, and appreciative. They view themselves as a small piece of a vast world, and they know that they have the ability to do great things.

And smart people definitely do not do these 10 things.
They don???t focus on the negative.
Smart people know that they are in control of their thoughts. And they choose to focus those thoughts on the positive. Smart people believe wholeheartedly that what the mind can conceive, it can also achieve. They know that life becomes easier and more enjoyable when they harness their ability to dream, wonder, create, build, transform, and love.

They don???t worry about what other people think about them.
Smart people don???t let the negative opinions of others deter them from living a life filled with happiness and purpose. The world has no shortage of doubters, haters, and cynics. But smart people brush the naysayers aside. They surround themselves with other smart people who share their values and passions.

They don???t go a day without giving thanks.
This is perhaps the most important thing you can do if you want to be ???smart.??? Smart people know that the world doesn???t revolve around them. They believe in the power of the greater good and know that a simple selfless act as small as a smile to a random stranger may just change someone???s life???and their own.

Technology is now a central part of children???s lives: TV, DVDs, computer games, the internet, social media networks, and mobile phones all make for a vast array of constant activity. There is no escaping it???digital devices are everywhere and they are an integral part of social activities, education, and leisure time. However, I would argue it???s equally important for this generation of children to experience the varieties of life, and to promote this I supply 21 practical ideas for entertaining, and educating, kids without the use of technological wizardry.

Tie-Dye Clothing

For this activity you will need clothing dye, freshly washed and dried t-shirts, rubber gloves, a large washing up bowl or bucket, and elastic bands or string.

Use the elastic bands or string to fold, knot, and tie the clothing item: the way it is tied determines which parts will be exposed to the dye and coloured. Wearing the rubber gloves, mix up the dye with water according to the dye manufacturer???s instructions and submerge the clothing item for the recommended amount of time. Remove the item and allow it to dry for 24 hours, and then wash. Once finished you???ll have a very lively piece of clothing!

Play Some Retro Games

Classics such as Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit are still great fun to play and promote intelligent thinking, whilst games such as Jenga can provide fun shocks, and Twister will have everyone in hysterics. These games are also useful in promoting social interaction and communication, so dust off your old versions and get playing!

Looking to Organize Your Exercise Equipment? Find Out How This Person Did it Here!

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Jeremy Leake

Organizing can be difficult especially depending upon what you are trying to organize. In this article we found someone that found a way to organize their exercise equipment. We hope it gives you some inspiration to organize your own!

From the article:

Part of my goal in 2014 is to find more balance, and part of that means placing an effort on taking better care of myself. Things like a better sleep schedule, a better daily routine, making time to eat better throughout the day and having the ability to step away from the computer to get in a quick workout. This past year I found that I was at my best when I would toss on my workout clothes and go for a quick run. Outside. But the winter months don’t allow for me to do that, and I find myself spending more time on the computer and snacking than getting active. Not a great combo.

We purchased a treadmill years ago, and it is something you don’t see make an appearance on the blog all that often because 1) it doesn’t get used as much as it should and 2) it is ugly.

This little update sure put a fire in me to want to run inside and make better use of that little corner of ours. I always say I feel more productive in a neat and orderly environment, and this is definitely no exception to that rule.

As far as a routine goes, I sort of just do what I have time for and what I feel like I want to focus on for the day. My goal is 15-30 minutes of some sort of exercise Monday – Friday, just to break up the hours of sitting I do on the computer, but any tips and suggestions from those of you who have mastered this already would be sincerely appreciated.

Installing a smart thermostat is one of those fabulous, somewhat luxe, yet totally simple upgrades you can make in your home, that will increase your standard of living and make your home work for you a bit more than it already does. It’s the little things like this that make a man feel like a king…. and by man, I obviously mean mankind, because we don’t discriminate here at TDC, am I right? One for all and all that jazz.

What If I told you that what you consider smart, just got a whole lot smarter? Consider yourself told… because that is precisely what I’m about to do!

Honeywell, a global energy efficiency leader, with products and technologies in more than 150 million homes today, introduced its latest connected home innovation: the Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Voice Control. Yep you heard me right… voice control! Yippee…

The new voice technology allows consumers to simply say, ???Hello, thermostat,??? to activate and control their home???s temperature. A first-of-its-kind consumer device (supa dupa cutting edge – just the way we like it, right?), the Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat with Voice Control uses advanced far-field voice-control technology (say what?), which means…. that it cuts through the crazy noise from your kids and dogs (and spouses) and can recognize commands like: ???make it four degrees warmer??? or ???make it much cooler??? — even from across the room.
