Women and men communicate differently with women being more verbal and vocal and men not so much. Women are also much more emotional and many would speak an entirely different language altogether. And some (okay, most) would insist that they encode what they mean or are trying to say behind frivolous words and phrases.

But, if you've got one of these beguiling creatures in your life, it's up to YOU to figure her out and figure out what she really means, especially if you want to keep the peace.

Sorry Situations: Just because she apologizes doesn't mean she thinks she was wrong (in fact she probably doesn't believe she was). All it really means is that she's initiating the reconciliation, and the LEAST she expects you to do is admit your faults and say you're sorry too.

Weighty Issues: Most women want and need to be affirmed and want to know that they are still attractive to their man. So, when she asks if she looks fat, she's simply fishing for compliments and wants to know you think of her as beautiful. Make sure your answer is honest BUT accentuates her attractiveness and her appeal (In fact, if you don't like how she looks, you may want to say, you look lovely in that but I tend to prefer you in a dress, or pants, or in that red outfit, etc)

Her Get Up and Go: She may start hinting that she's tired or has lots to do tomorrow. She may even suggest that you stay behind and have a good time. Dude, that's your cue to get ready to go.

Kidding Around: She may be complimenting your sense of humor and your disposition with nieces and nephews, but in reality she wants to know your thoughts on kids, having some of your own, and how soon. Even if you don't foresee having children in the immediate future, keep in mind that ladies like to look ahead, well ahead, so, if you're not opposed to the idea (even if it is down the road) give her the answer she's fishing for, or come up with an equally indirect response of your own.

Find And Seek: She gives every indication that there may be something wrong, but when you ask she assures you it's "nothing". Well guys, you just may be damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you take it at face value that everything is status quo, she'll continue being annoyed, but if do your job and identify the problem, you just may be in for a fight. But, remember she's WAITING for you to figure it out and to be given the chance to get it off her chest.

Want to be the person who always has something interesting to say? Train yourself to look at things from other perpectives. What would the Buddha say about this? How would a Martian view it? What's the opposite perspective? The point isn't to ask others silly questions, but to ask yourself, to see what interesting ideas result. Do this until it is a habit, and you'll always have something interesting to add to a conversation.

Want systematic creativity in poetry? Put a word on each of 40 cards; 10 nouns, 10 verbs, 10 adjectives, and 10 random words. Shuffle, deal out four cards, and write a 4-line poem using one of the words in each line. My wife has had poems published that were created with this technique. Your mind will find a poetic use for any word if you use this method often.

Here's how to keep things from getting too serious, too fast:

- Continue to date her regularly, but date other women too - and assume she's dating other guys.

- Use this time to really get to know her, and to understand your feelings about her. Are you feeling desperate, like you must have her all to yourself right now? If that's the case, you need to figure out what's going on with you. Are you in love or are you desperate to have a girlfriend?

- Keep the early dates fun, light and casual. They're meant for getting to know one another. You have a lifetime to get into deep, meaningful conversations.

What kind of a person are you? At the time of test, will you prove yourself a good person or fail? All of us think that we are good people. But when it comes to crunchtime, not many pass the test. They change suddenly at that moment and become a different person.

Do you have saintly qualities? Are you compassionate? Are you a selfless person? Do you help others even if they don't ask you? Do you ever do anything that can hurt anyone? Can you forgive your worst enemies? What kind of a person are you? How much do you know about your real self and your real attitude? What are your basic values, which will never be compromised by you? These are important questions to be raised by all of us. If at the end of our enquiry, we find that we are no saints, there is no harm. Because that realization will make us do good deeds.

How to find out if you have saintly qualities? Reflect about your actions of the day for five minutes every night. Go back to your meetings, your work and your conversations. Find out if you did something that was without any selfish motive. Find out if you did anything that might be called wrong. Find out if you hurt anyone with your words/ find out if you praised any co-worker? Look at all the good deeds and bad deeds. Keep on increasing your good deeds and reducing your bad deeds. You are not alone. All of us do bad deeds. The important factor is realization. Once you are aware of your deeds, you will automatically do more good and reduce bad, because you are basically a good person. Try some tests and quizzes on the Internet and find out more about your real personality and if you have saintly qualities. Do it for few days, and you will feel good about yourself. That is a big achievement, bigger than any amount of money.

Fish are obviously unable to survive outside of the water. Therefore, the longer that it takes you to release them, the more it becomes as if you are suffocating them. The way that a fish is gripped when out of the water will make a big difference. For instance, avoid touching a fish's body with your bare hands. The fish have a slimy protective coat that will be stripped if you touch them with your hands. If you have to touch a fish, make sure that your hands are wet. You may want to wear gloves to protect your hands from cuts or permeating fish smells.

4. Is your chosen market full of disposable income?

These are some things that you need to answer and discover to determine if your business opportunity can compete in the market. Putting up a business will require money and a lot of your time as an entrepreneur. So before you start anything, you must take a long and hard look at your business ideas.

This is true to both products and services. As an entrepreneur, you only want to make money and as much as possible, you want to stay away from business loss. Sell only the things that the market demands.

Studying the market demand is very important in determining if your chosen opportunity is viable or not. Choosing the right business opportunity will always come side by side with market demand analysis.
