Females only please… is this a good note to give to a girl I like at work?

Amidst the endless silence my soul endures, is the pulsing of a heart’s desire for each moment found to once speak of a feeling unfound since childhood. At a glimpse I was spellbound, held in a trance by a smile laced by golden strands of an angel’s hair. The words I spent hours tracing and fighting to speak were dissolved by a voice which echoed emotions throughout my once cold and logical mind at the door.

Time seemed to speed away as I searched for the chance to speak without eves dropping ears surrounding you. My every nerve tingling with anticipation, but the business facade overcame endless times and I watched in sorrow as I exited through the door. A moment lost, and further delay of a dream I held on to for 3 months.

Fate has a keen eye on those who hesitate to break these barriers. A fortune speaking reflection of circumstance stayed as a reminder, and became an eventual message to be passed on. Unsure that night of what was to come, I faced a greater trial of my silence. I held frozen and in pain over a mute heart, and as Christmas passed by, I made a decision to risk all fears which had evolved.

Under a great deal of self control over emotions and nerves, I foresaw a moment of opportunity arise. A mind with a controlled heart however does not speak well of its self, and in minutes of conversation I felt defeat. The wave of unleashed excitement took its toll seconds after you left, and I was perplexed by the whole scene. I fear I have fallen victim to infatuation, however one which I have come to adore. My residual fears now only of recycling such a moment in which I hold my emotions at bay.

I can not put to words the power of being struck by cupid’s arrow. Being an odd one out most of my life has grown within me an acceptance to being ill-favored in the eyes of beauty. Throwing concern to morality differences and popularity at every instance has caused more pain and scars to my heart than it has ever served as good warning to keep distance. I can not forego this feeling once more.

Though I do not know you, and can only speculate and drive myself mad, I adore you all the same. Finding solace in the reflected emotions of a stuffed animal may comfort me when I am alone, but there is no match to the beauty of being loved. As well, a broken heart is much easier to survive than the cold emptiness of remaining isolated.

I am spellbound by you, and venture to love you.
The situation is that I switched shifts and noticed this girl. I didn’t know what to say or had the guts to say anything really and I got a fortune cookie which said “an admirer is too shy to greet you”, which I eventually set on her windsheild in an envelope on one of my breaks. I finally talked to her tonight, but I really didn’t know what to say and i came across probably pretty lame and dull… so I wrote this in hopes it may be enough to counteract my stupidity.

Man, the responses are great, but as a whole it’s no help. I understand how it could lead to an awkward scenario. The thing that’s hard to determine is from what perspective these answers are based on. It is intense, I’ll agree, and I wouldn’t just hand it to her and run. I’ve lost out so many times before because I held my emotions at bay and waited, that I’m to the breaking point where I do not and can not face the same scenario over again.

I’m also going to ask a few other trusted people about it and I’ll have to make a decision one way or the other.

Thank you so much for the advice though, I’ll choose a best answer based on what I end up doing and its results as well as majority advice and ratio of best answers to overall answers.
:)

Secret Shopping

Secret shopping sounds mysterious and fun and well, shopping is great no matter what. Secret shopping in its basic form is shopping someone or someplace without the person or business knowing it. Shopping secretly seems to draw on this fantasy of part detective, part spy, and part shopaholic. In the best scenario you receive your “mission” and then go to the location and pretend to be a real customer all while noticing all the things going on around you. Some secret shopping companies will have the shopper actually purchase something so that the whole shopping encounter seems more realistic. If you search the words, “secret shopping” on the Internet you will get over 4 million hits on websites that have something to do with secret shopping.

There are all types of secret shopping businesses out there. There are businesses, corporations and large chains that have their own department or group of people that travel around and try to shop the stores. Sometimes this is part of the internal security team that helps reduce shrinkage or loss prevention specialists. Then there are the companies and stores that will choose to hire a secret shopping company who specializes in secret shopping that specific industry.

Some of the things that in person secret shops might uncover are:

How many customers in the store when entering?

Did anyone greet you when entering the store or how long did it take for someone to greet you after walking in the door?

Was the store neat and clean?

Did anyone offer to help you find an item or offer to help you?

Was the associate dressed appropriately?

Was the bathroom clean?

Was the associate using their time wisely?

Did an associate offer to get you a shopping bag, shopping cart, or basket or to start a dressing room for you?

Did the associate let you know of any specials or promotions going on in the store

Was it easy to navigate through the store?

How long did you have to wait to check out?

Was the cashier friendly?

Were your items rang in correctly?

Did the associate offer to open a store credit account?

Did the cashier thank you for coming in?

These are just a few questions that a secret shopper might have to fill out when doing a report on how the shop went. Of course depending on the company, different key areas would be listed and other items of interest that would be specific to that company. Besides a person going into a store and shopping them, some companies are having their shoppers wired for sound and or video. While a person can go to a place and shop and come up with their opinions, sound and video are hard to ignore. Often sound and video are used in extreme circumstances where sound and video would implicate a person or business of a wrongdoing.

There is a show on television right now that shows all kinds of hidden video of stealing, people acting stupid, intoxicated, fighting, driving recklessly, and more. It just goes to show you what people will watch on television. But is proves a powerful tool for incrimination or reprimanding employees.

What kind of business would use a secret shopping service? Lots of businesses use a secret shopping service whether it is an internal monitoring or hired out by a company that specializes in secret shopping. Corporate businesses would use a secret shopping service to make sure that the individual franchise or store is keeping up with the company’s rules and regulations. While some franchises are individually owned they still have to sign a contract with the home office that they will uphold the standards, appearances, and make sure that all the stores are virtually the same. Smaller businesses might use a secret shopping service for a number of things like monitoring, training, compliance, or incentive based information. Monitoring is just that, a basic service that gives the manager or owner a simple description of the secret shop. On going training is essential to any business so companies can use secret shopping to help with continued training. Compliance goes a little further with specific areas of sales, customer service, safety, and rules being covered. Incentive based secret shopping is when the person or business being shopped and that said person or business doing a great job would get a reward. The reward could be monetary, time off, bonus, lunch, or other items that the owner or manager will choose.

Some companies choose to do telephone secret shopping instead of or in addition to the in person secret shop. Telephone secret shopping uses the same principles as above except the whole interaction is done over the telephone. Modern software and telephone equipment have made this type of secret shopping easier and more secretive. But with technology comes the backlash of trying to be secretive, the arch nemesis of the telephone secret shopping world, caller id. There are ways around caller id and they will not be shared in this essay, but if you need to bypass a caller id there are systems that can do it, just check out the Internet. So the basic telephone secret shops goes like this:

Store-”Hi, thanks for calling XYZ business, this is Bob, how can I help you today?”

Shopper- “Hello Bob, I was wondering if you could give me some information about your….”

Store- “Sure, I can help you with that. You see here at XYZ business we have…”

You can see where this is going.

The telephone secret shop is typically recorded to an audio system or to the Internet where the call can be retrieved at a later date. Different software systems allow the secret shopping calls to be listened to online in real time or saved and sent via email when the audio format is in MP3. This software also allows its user to edit the call. Trimming the call in the beginning before the rings start and after both parties have hung up allow the call to remain in a manageable length. Some companies record the call and then send it to their clients on a CD. The CD allows the manager or owner to listen and share the call with the employee.

Are you looking for a secret shopping job? There are many established secret shopping companies out there that are looking for shoppers, but how do you know which ones to trust. First of all, like the old saying goes, “if it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is” so don’t fall for all the Internet hype about secret shopping. Could you in reality find a reputable secret shopping company and make some money, yes, if you do your homework. This is such a serious issue that the Federal Trade Commission has advice on how to avoid being scammed by fake secret shopping companies. Here is some advice on how to avoid bogus secret shopping companies:

Do your homework; check out the company BEFORE you give them any personal information

Beware of catchy banners and click me sites that offer to hire secret shoppers off of the Internet. This is a “sounds too good to be true” situation.

Check with the Better Business Bureau about background information on the company before you jump in with both feet.

Many fake secret shopping sites want you to complete “offers” before you are assigned any jobs. These offers are actually ways for that site to gather information about you like your name and email. Offers like; try these magazines or a free trial offer for who knows what, and all you have to give them is your information and sometimes a credit card number. These sites are known to sell or use your email to spam sites that will then riddle your inbox with tons of junk email.

If you know someone who is a secret shopper ask them how they got into the business and I bet they will have some advice of their own to share.

It’s not as easy as it seems, there is often some travel involved and reports have to be written in detail, called in, typed or emailed for you to be able to get paid per job.

So if you are looking for a secret shopping company or a secret shopping job, the bottom line is check the company out before doing business with them. Ask for business references (and call them, just giving a sheet a references won’t do you any good if you don’t call them), check with the better business bureau and ask around. The time you spend doing your homework before you hire or look for a secret shopping job will pay off in the end. There are some great secret shopping companies out there that offer secret shopping services and your business will prosper from the knowledge and training that a reputable secret shopping business can provide for you.

How to Unleash the Power of a Quick Energy Burst

Here is a simple way to boost your energy, spark your confidence, and energize your spirits. And you can do this without an energy drink that is loaded with sugar and caffeine.

Suppose you are frustrated at some point during the day about how your business activities are going. Perhaps you are having a losing run of day trades, not getting your homebuyers financed, or running an ad campaign that is not working despite your best efforts.

If you let your mind stay in this state, you are in trouble and your competitors have one less competitor!

You can generate new energy by mentally playing images of the desirable outcome you seek or the undesirable outcome you want to avoid. Depending on how you are wired, one or the other will refocus your mind, re-establish your attitude, and reset your Money Mind for success.

Here’s why this works. Some of us get more motivated by seeing mental images of that which we are moving towards. Others of us get more motivated by seeing mental images of that from which we are moving away.

In either case, you can reliably get yourself back in motion and get set for new accomplishments.

Here’s how to do this. Call to mind images of either the results of your successful outcome or some situation that your success will enable you to leave in the past. Respectively, these can images such as a mansion or the dinky apartment in which you now live.

See these images as if through your own eyes. Let your imagination make these images clear, brightly-colored, and sharply-focused.

See theses images in rapid succession as if watching a slide presentation at high speed. This might mean seeing your mansion and fleet of cars or your dinky apartment or too-used car.

As you see these images, feel either the sense of accomplishment that you have achieved your goal and are enjoying a new life or a sense of relief that your success insures that you will not have to face these limiting and undesirable situations again.

This need not take more than a few seconds. In fact, your mind can do this far more rapidly that you can read these words.

So prime your mind for success according to how you view accomplishment. You may find more energy in moving toward an objective and the life you desire or you discover more emotional charge when you say “Never again!” Regardless, you can use your “hard wiring” as a source of determination to succeed and drive to make money.

And you can boost your energy in far less time and with far fewer side effects than any energy drink you can buy. This technique is like an energy drink for the mind.

And then take action! Decisive action is the key to success and all this technique does is prime your mind to take decisive action.

And how much more decisive will that action be as you let your mind run a series of success images in rapid succession? A lot more decisive and a lot more profitable.

Can You Create Wealth Through The Law Of Attraction?


Most of us have watched The DVD “The Secret”. We are bombarded by emails, video clips and websites that tell us how powerful the Law of Attraction is. But have you ever been able to attract the things in life that you really want? Is the Law of Attraction working for you or against you? Would you like to know the real secret behind The Secret? Are you willing to accept unlimited wealth in all area of your life? Yes! Then read on. It was many years ago when I first came across the term “Law of Attraction”. It was many years ago. To me, I thought the law of attraction made perfect sense. In fact when I viewed my past life experiences I was convinced that they had happened entirely due to my thinking, feeling and acting. Yet I could not get the law of attraction to work for me in a conscious way. I decided it was not worth any more of my time and forgot about it. Then I was reunited with the concept with the release of the movie “The Secret”. This once again sparked my interest in the law of attraction and I immediately got to work putting the principles that the movie offered into my life. Again I got back nothing for all my effort. No matter how much I used visualization or created positive feelings around my mental pictures nothing in my life changed. Only a bigger amount of the stuff I was already attracting – debt, unhappiness and unfulfilling relationships (not to mention a particularly bad health issue). The one good thing about the movie though was my introduction to some of the teachers in the movie. Although the movie was great to watch and it did motivate me I got very little tangible results from following its advice. I’m sure you are the same. After a great deal of searching I was able to find good information on the law of attraction and was shocked to discover that many law of attraction sources left out a key missing piece of the puzzle. Studying the law of attraction in more detail gave me some insights into properly using it to get real results in my life and I am going to share these with you now. Once I understood what have been missing from all the sources I had studied my new knowledge allowed me to start using the law of attraction consciously in my own life. For example, do you know that your negative subconscious beliefs and thoughts must be eliminated if you want to start attracting the things in life that you desire? Where The Secret tells you to visualize and evoke positive feelings to activate the law of attraction I discovered that you must first remove the negative subconscious blocks before you can attract anything. As I had tried the normal approach for manifesting my dreams (visualizing, affirmations etc.) and got very little back from it I thought I would give the above approach a try. Within very little time I started to see real tangible results in my life. This is when I realized that this approach to using the law of attraction, which is based on removing subconscious blocks, is in fact the correct one. I discovered very quickly that it was the subconscious blocks I had to achieving success that had been hindering me all my life. They were running in the background of my mind like viruses on a computer sabotaging my efforts to consciously control the effects of the law of attraction. Once I used started searching for and removing my own inner thoughts of limitation and addressed just small negative areas of my subconscious mind I began to see big results. Once I has seen positive real changes in my life, from just a small amount of inner work, I started to work on my bigger negative issues. My life began changing positively in almost every area. This is the missing link in law of attraction courses. Start to view your mind as a computer and you negative beliefs as viruses. Then start to remove your viruses. Such viruses take the form of negative mental programming or negative subconscious beliefs. It is important that you eliminate the negative thoughts and beliefs that are conected to your desires which you have buried in your subconscious mind. If you do not remove them all your efforts will fail. If you want to achieve success, wealth and unlimited happiness give this approach a try!

Positive Thinking Phrases – An Essential Tool For Success

As you start entering into the phase of adulthood in your life, your hills also start assuming relatively different shapes. Sometime these hills become the examination that you may need to clear to advance your qualifications. They may also become the presentation that you have to give on your companyâ??s behalf to your clients. Whatever character such hills may assume, if you think you cannot climb them, in all likelihood you never will.

It is a common observation among the students to label few classes as â??impassable.â? When labeled in this manner, it becomes almost next to impossible for them to even put efforts to pass that class. It also becomes a very easy excuse for them to not study anymore. If one perceives the hills in front of him/her as impossible to climb, they immediately put a limitation on their abilities.

Positive thinking phrases can be quite instrumental in helping an individual to succeed in many endeavors in life. Uttering out a positive phrase to yourself while face-to-face with a daunting task, you immediately divert your attention from that task and are able to summon up the positive energies within you. If you say to yourself, â??I think I canâ? at those crucial moments, you will divert your attention from the enormity of the task at hand and focus more on your abilities to achieve it. Many people describe such exercise as self-hypnotism and they may even be right because by shifting the attention from the task to oneâ??s inner battle, one can discover in no time that he/she has successfully gotten through with the task itself.

Positive thinking phrases also have a deep impact on our belief systems. If repeated many times, the positive thinking phrases stir up the otherwise dormant belief in our own capability. The very sound of an encouraging word can embolden a personsâ?? spirits by leaps and bounds. Words have a great impact on our psyche as well and repeating the encouraging words to ourselves over and over again, we can significantly strengthen our willpower and thus achieve any target.

Belief is the most important by product of repeating positive thinking phrases to oneself. It is that long lost friend who always used to be by our side while we were small and the limitations never used to appear as huge mountains as they do now. If befriended again, ones belief can catapult an individual to instant success.

People donâ??t employ the positive thinking phrases just because they sound great. If this were true, anyone could just record such phrases and repeat them over and over again on a record player. People employ positive thinking phrases to literally get into their meanings and derive great power from them The same power that lies within each individual but is never manifested until shown the mirror of a positive thinking phrase.

Such positive thinking phrases are great tools of self-development and when used effectively can equip any individual to take charge of his/her destiny. All it requires is to believe in their potential and the meaning behind them. You must not think of them as something unrelated to you and rather try to absorb their meaning in your own daily life.
