Motivation in the Workplace
Motivation in the Workplace
Motivation plays a huge role in any organization or company. The level of motivation can directly affect not only the quality of life but can strengthen or weaken the bottom line. Every manager and or leader should know and work to make sure they keep their employees motivated no matter what place those employee’s are in their careers. Managers can keep their employees motivated by identifying individual factors that influence behavior, understanding and applying motivation theories and enacting effective behavior modification that encourages a higher level of motivation for the individual employee. A motivated workforce can make any company or organization a competitive force. Employees who are motivated usually produce at a higher level, create a better product or service and can be fertile ground for innovative ideas. The goal for managers of all levels is to understand individual behaviors and evaluate where improvements are needed. After understanding what areas need improvement the application of motivational factor can be applied using motivation theory. Once the employee is being motivated at a higher level the manager’s task is to take that motivation and use the appropriate behavior modification plan to help employees remain motivated and positively affect the atmosphere and character of the organization. Motivation can do more than just make a company run more successfully or productively. The lack of motivation can to a cancer that can create apathy, pessimism, cynicism, and can stifle energy stunting a company’s growth and just like cancer if not treated can destroy the organization. Managers have the reasonability to examine each individual and the areas they need improvement, apply motivational theories in their behavior modification plan.
Individuals react and differently to different situations. That is why it essential when addressing motivation in the workplace that a manager evaluate their employees on an individual basis to understand where they are personally and organizationally. Managers must know what is needed for an individual before they can find ways to improve the motivation of that person. There are five major stages or levels associated with work-related behaviors. The first work related behavior is joining the organization in which a new employee is getting associated with the group, its practices, and culture and finding their place in that group. The second is remaining with the organization in which the employee has found their place. The third work related behavior is maintaining work attendance this means not only showing to work at the right time but being there when needed. The fourth behavior is performing required tasks this means becoming proficient in the job and contributing more to the group or company. The final behavior is organizational citizenship in which the employee now contributes at a higher level and takes on task where needed and even outside of their duties. Understanding what behaviors are not being obtained can tell a manager if motivation is lacking in an individual and where a manager can work to motivate an employee. For instance if an employee has reached the third level maintaining work attendance but has not been consistently there when needed it is not time to enact a motivational plan that gives the individual more task. Giving this employee more tasks may actually have a negative effect increasing the attendance problem. Knowing that the employee is at this third level a manager can enact a motivation plan that encourages this employee to obtain better attendance and lead them into the next level of performing required tasks. Since individuals are motivated by different factors such as needs and what stage the employee is at it is important for managers to identify the individuals in his or her group before enacting and evaluating motivational theories to the group or individual. Motivation can play an important role in the success of any organization but the motivation of the group is comprised of many individuals motivated by many different factors. Because a manager can not activate policies for each individual the manager must decided knowing each individual where their group is and where motivation is needed.
While employees are motivated by differing factors that correspond where they are at personally as well as professionally those factors are broken down by motivational theories. Motivation theories are essential in creating incentives that will help employees at all levels be more motivated. It is essential that managers know and understand motivation theory before creating motivational incentives. In Maslow’s needs theory hierarchy these individual factors are grouped into five main categories. The bottom levels are physiological needs in which basic needs are motivational factors such as food clothing. The second level is the need for safety this includes a work environment free from hazards etc. The third level is belongingness and this is the personal need to feel a part of the group. The next level is esteem in which the individual is concerned about getting recognition and being appreciated for their contributions to the group. The highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy is self-actualization in which the individual has found there meaning in life and fulfills their role to the fullest ability. While the individual can be at varying levels with each group of this hierarchy they are motivated by factors that fulfill that category. Perhaps and individual feels they are a fully accepted member of the group or company. This individual may be showing signs of low motivation. The incorrect action would be to tell that individual that new security cameras where being installed to protect them. The correct action would be to assign them a task in which they would be recognized and rewarded for their efforts. Because motivation plays such a major role in every organization the need to group individual behavior and needs are needed. Maslow’s hierarchy provides managers guidelines to take the individual needs of their employees and create plans to increase motivation by identifying types of plans that would be effective for the individuals.
Behavior is a byproduct of motivation or the lack of motivation. When motivation is high in an employee behavior usually falls in line with the group’s culture. When a negative behavior is displayed by a motivated employee little action is needed. On the other hand when employee motivation is low negative behaviors are bond to appear. A manager must now apply what they have learned about the individuals and use motivation theory to enact the proper action that will motivate the employee who is not being motivated. The contingencies of reinforcements give managers guidelines to choose the right action to motivate and change behavior. There are two main reinforcements that motivate employees to change their behavior, positive and negative reinforcements. An employee can be enticed to correct a negative behavior by giving an incentive that rewards their good behavior. For example if an employee is consistently late a reward can be given at the end of the month for the employee who works the most hours. If a negative reinforcement is used punishment is used to correct the behavior. For example the employee can be warned that their continued course of action will results in disciplinary action. The key for any behavior modification is to understand the individual and their needs. If a person is being motivated by esteem than a plan that reinforces their contribution and how that will be acknowledged is a much more effective reward than a lunch certificate. Managers have a difficult job in ensuring that there employees have high motivation but because of the effects that motivation has on a group or company is so important this is a task that deserves all the time and attention that can be allotted to this task. To change a behavior an employee must be motivated to do so. By finding out the individuals needs and apply positive and negative reinforcements to the group motivation can and will increase and the success of that task will have long lasting effects on the success of the group.
Motivation is a complicated subject to understand because we as people are so individual. That is why when a manager approached the issue of motivating their employee’s they must take into account the individual. It is important to understand where the individual is in their personal development and career. Finding out what behaviors the individual exhibits can help the manager understand is motivation is an issue that needs immediate attention. Once a need has been discovered by a manager then an evaluation must be made using motivation theory to discover what it is that motivates his or her employees. After the manager knows what motivates the group and individuals in that group a plan can be put together that utilizes both positive and negative reinforcements to effectively motivate the individuals in that group. Higher levels of motivation within an organization can create an environment that makes it a fun place to work where individuals feel obtain what they need by behaving in ways that benefit the group. On the other hand if motivation is an issue that is neglected because of its complexity or any other reason the results can be devastating on the long term health of that group. Managers act as the doctors diagnosing the problem and creating effective treatment. If the treatment is carefully prescribed a weak company can become strong and vibrant once again. No other issue has as far reaching effects in so many areas as motivation does in the workplace and careful attention must be made to ensure that those effects are positive and enable further growth.

A little known version of history?spiritual not academic
A little known version of history?spiritual not academic
Introduction:
A bottom end of town satire translation by Stephen Gripes from the Book of Alf, called “A little known version of history…spiritual not academic” ‘Cause academia read too many of their own books, funny books…you know, with no missing punctuation gizmo’s & spelling mistakes in them. So this is a special colloquial translation with spelling mistakes & missing gizmo’s for my friends in the bottom end of town and to lighten things up in the top end of town. If this does not do the trick, then take a trip to the Dentist and have a dose of laughing gas and re-read it, but not in the chair. You might end up minus a few teeth and a whopping big bill instead, like I did. And no, I’m not signing up with anyone. Least of all Hollydude & Co; they are in deep you know what with God. Along with days-of-our-rotten-product-created lives from the good ole U.S. of A. for upsetting Upstairs afternoon tea break and picture show treats. Plus, driving the primordial gods to the booze. With their commercial television programs, products, promo’s, bling, self-congrats and awards for their primordial concentrated gifts in the human being, that everyone goes potty over & worships.
Anyways, I’ve also found the missing ancient manuscripts from the book “The Celestine Potholes”. You know, the manuscsripts that got lost in South America, or was it India? Anyways, it was addressed to J. Redsfields to translate, but I don’t know him…I’ve never met him, although I have read his book about ‘The Celestine Potholes’. Anyways, the Newspapers, Boobs @ Abs Magazine and other Comic Books would not publish my translation, ‘cause I’m not famous with my boobs and abs. The Commercial Television stations don’t want a bar of it, ‘cause it aint got no products in it. The BBC said to send it to the ABC for spelling corrections & syntax first, The Guverment said I’ve gotta become a Politician before they will read it and Science don’t understand it the way I’ve written it –neither do I. So the best place for it is on the Garbo-net…sorry, I mean the Internet. So if someone out there that understands my translations…and can read my rotten bottom end of town writing & spelling, then please let me know.
p.s. Don’t know whether it’s important or not, but there’s something really weirdo at the bottom of this ancient manuscript, it says (i times d) plus the square root of (m) plus (LN times CM) equals H this-way-Albert”. Must be something to do with Albert Stein –or was it Joe Stein? Maybe it was Eff Stein, anyway some Stein –have included it in case it helps Academia and Hollywood…not forgetting the Pentagon either, as they know everyfing what is going on in the world first from the late night show on the commercial television. Plus, it says what’s faster than the speed of light?…the speed of thought of course…and that’s really weirdo. `Cause every one knows that the speed of light is the fastest thing in the Universe. At least that’s what it says in all the funny science books that I pinched, sorry, I mean borrowed from the library. You know, E equals MC squared or somefing, not T equals PP squared to infinity, like what Alfiewhatsitallabout says in his articles. Anyways, youse got the brains, so work it out and post me back the answer…so I can get some sleep.
p.p.s. There’s a load more here –manuscripts that is. So I’ll go a paste a few up on some notice-boards down town, just to keep the ‘speed of thought’ ball rolling while youse sort it all out (and my ‘orrible spelling) and I can translate the rest of the manuscripts into good English and good American…for the Pentagon. Plus, the one I’m on at the moment don’t make sense at all –so I’ll have to go and see the ‘Boss’ about it on the way –after my tea break that is.
Signed the thinker…you know, that unemployed Greek bloke on the dole?
Counter signed concerned Citizen…no, confused citizen Stephen son of Alf @ www.alfsworldgripes.com
Right here we go…
Once upon a time long long ago, during the ‘golden age’ of the ancient world and before money, politicians, celebrities and Hollybug were invented and things went to pot, mankind once lived in harmony with Nature, the animals and themselves…hard to believe eh? So too, a special ceremony was always performed at the equinoxes, i.e. the four seasons junction points. A spiritual ceremony to acknowledge the divinity of the Laws of Nature, that structure and evolve everything in Creation and create order out of chaos in life. In addition, when the females of Royal lineage of the rulers of those days…who were very nice people by the way –not like in Hollynud and Co, became fertile and ready for motherhood, it was considered an honour to seek the initial act of copulation from the deities…this is where it gets interesting.
Q:Who were the deities?
A: They were the physical manifestation of the Gods of Heaven.
Q: Wow! so how did they get here then? `Cause this ain’t heaven, except for all the Media created winners living it up in the top end of town You know, that live in the television & movies, newspapers and I-love-me glossy magazines full of saturated products, boobs & abs and skinny fashion models on a catwalk trip to product la la land.
A: Well they didn’t get here in space ships, flying saucers, teacups or the pen of science fiction writers on Prozac –sorry about that, I couldn’t resist it.
No, they manifested through the spiritual workings of the divinity of the Laws of Nature. Spiritual laws that were in total harmony with a human being…but not all human beings, but evolved spiritual human beings. Who had reached the age of 21 and were functioning out of their spiritual bodies as well as their physical one’s. Anyways, in this sacrifice of a Maidens virtue and innocence for pro-creational purposes and not rec-creational purposes? like on T.V. and in Hollydude movies and in human worshiping boobs, bottoms and whatnots glossy product magazines, harmony was said to result within all the quantum located spiritual planes of Creation that underwrite our physical seen world that we live in.
Yes, almighty Nature was very much pleased to be honoured with such dignity of her divine procreation gifts to the human being. Thus that human respect and its harmonious karmic influence structured not only conception, but also positively influenced the Yin and the Yang within the primordial archetypal spiritual intelligence that orchestrates life. You know, the subtle vibrations of creative-intelligence emanating from the spiritual platform of the Planets in our solar system; planetary archetypal intelligence that physical life and its biology & chemistry has arisen and evolved out of. Spiritual archetypal intelligence that is sourced to other Cosmic intelligence that is responsible for the equilibrium of the changing seasons and a lot more besides. According to Alf anyway, but not all the laborotorium Scientists changing everything on the planet without Upstairs permission will agree with Alf…that’s for sure.
Q: What is this Cosmic spiritual intelligence you might ask?
A: The four Deities (well five in Alf’s book) of this physical planet`. You know, Earth, Air, Fire and Water and all that hard to believe metaphysical Jazz that Alf is spouting on about in his articles. Because that’s fairy stories, according to the learned Academics swotting away downstairs in their books & writing and not making any spelling mistakes. Along with drinking too much ‘caffe latte…well some anyway, and other downstairs knockers of Upstairs. That cannot except any reality exists outside of their own human created & lived one. ‘Cause we humans create reality and then live it you know. So its not a fairy story, says God. Because those deities of Nature are my spiritual intelligence within physical Creation –but most definitely not yours or the lobotomy scientists. Doing what they like with my animals and plants and all my wiggly’s & atoms on the planet, but without proper consultation with my Laws of Nature government creating ‘order out of chaos’ in Creation.
To continue:
The elders, who were very wise men in those ancient days, guided the wellbeing and happiness of their people with cosmic knowledge, i.e. eternal knowledge. The spiritual Laws of Nature knowledge…and most definitely not the laws of physics knowledge. You know, decimating the atom and altering physical genes and synthetically polluting this Planet to high heaven. Big klingnong trouble from this blind I-can-do-what-I-like science activity soon…according to Alf that is. Anyways, via Cosmic knowledge and special spiritual ceremony, mankind honoured that invisible spiritual intelligence of Creation. Plus, they also knew the exact time for planting, harvesting, thanksgiving and the appropriate ceremony to conduct on all auspicious occasions right throughout the year…and, in that spiritual ceremonial process, correctly honouring the blessings and providence of this beautiful Earth and Universe in its totality of interactive function. ‘Cause everyfing is connected to everyfing through the spiritual component of everyfing. You know, what underwrites physical matter?
Q: What everything you ask?
A: Yes, everyfing, but excluding Hollydud & Co, because they live in stretch limo I-love-me image created product la la land. Along with a few more big buck commercial prime-movers and shakers that create and power our current realities. Particularly within the minds of our vulnerable kids on this planet. Anyways, more about this saturated marketing klingnong matter at world court martial time from grumpy Alf –soon. He is busy at the moment, dishing it out to the top end of town writing the script for all our potty behaviour on this beautiful planet.
Coming back to the original plot:
If a child was born out of that physical union with the deities in human spiritual form, then the spiritual attributes of that deity would reside within the bloodline of that Royal family, i.e. spiritual family. Because the true definition of the word Royal, means spirituality or divinity. From which came the lineage of the Astrologers, the Wise men, the Healers (doctors) and the Psychics…but not Hollywood. Thus from divine karmic influence perpetuated genetically and astrologically, to guide, council and heal and direct the spiritual well-being of that ancient society in its on-going positive evolution to reach the real stars…and not our human created dissolvable ones. You know, that fill the Media created heavens and are on the karmic blink with their twink…according to Alf.
Anyways, as us dissolvable human beings possess a collective unconscious that has a karmic key signature within interactive spiritual Creation, so this knowledge spread around the world as similar forms of worship and expression…but not as entertainment. In fact just like the wheel, the pyramids and now Hollydude and Co. Because we are all invisibly connected by the Comic mind & its universal computer structuring the evolution of Creation and life. You know, the invisible spiritual one that underwrites evolution. That our human mind and its biological computer (called the brain), is a physical dissolvable creation and reflection of.
But that’s a load of Dr Who intergalactic twaddle with spelling mistakes, say all the academics & scientists…well some anyway and other downstairs knockers of anything they do not want understand. ‘Cause we have it on good authority from our famous books (written by us lot downstairs), that you & Alf are telling us a lot of porkies. But not so says Upstairs, I was around then when it was created, you weren’t.. So there, put that in your funny books and electronic gizmo’s and stop drinking ‘caffe latte and researching those dancing pole nightclubs downstairs. Plus, you’ve got the wrong books to boot or you are reading them upside down or somefing.
To continue:
The centuries passed…the deities headed back home for a well earned rest. They returned to heaven…spiritual heaven that is. But not in space ships, sorry about that revelation to all the lost in space science fiction junkies stranded up on Babble’on 5 on Prozac. No, they returned via their spiritual bodies when they had passed on from their physical one’s…and guess what, things went to pot again downstairs. Much human wrong doings saturated the spiritual atmosphere of this beautiful planet once again. The untalented people grew very unhappy, while the worshiped winners got lost in I-love-me in the mirror space. Like on the commercial television & in glossy product magazines and on the catwalk.
Anyways, the long and the short of it all, was that Nature was no longer revered, no longer acknowledged for her dignity…for her beauty…for her creativity. Spiritual decadence crept into the important primordial ego affairs of mankind and man became so insecure within his bonce…you know his head? that he began to denigrate the female in all aspects. She lost the right to choose her mate when the seeds of fertility flowed within her. She became a laughing stock. Crude jokes began to appear on trees. Crude remarks began to be shouted in the forests. Crude drawings turned up everywhere, from clever people in the local temples and taverns she copped the lot.
But no internet, television, video’s, or those other things…you know, glossy product magazines with boobs, bottoms, abs and whatnots in. At least I don’t think so, `cause they hadn’t heard of promo’s, commercial television, big bucks, spin-doctors, marketing geniuses, media moguls, catwalks and ego-preening in those far off days. We had to have progress and democracy first…from all the winners that got made into created products out of promo’s. But, youse try telling the top end of town this and you will really cop the cold shoulder and worse, get sent to writers Coventry for elocution and spelling lessons as payback for telling them they ‘got it wrong’ with their idea of progress.
Anyways, it came to be on this trashed planet, that woman was no longer revered for her creativity, her beauty, her tenderness, her lovingness, her softness, her intelligence, her everythingness…and they have never been the same since. For woman started to emulate man and go bungee jumping and acting as macho men on the adolescent blink and fighting wars and all that Hollybug movie invented trashing jazz. If youse can’t beat ‘em you might as well join ‘em, became the female war cry in Guverments and on the television and movies. We are not staying at home doing the ironing and changing nappies, we are going out to work in the market place and at dancing pole nightclubs to earn our own money and give the noisy kids to some other mug to look after. We are entitled to be macho men just like you lot …echoed down the corridors of female power in high scientific places and universities and glossy magazines. We’ll sort you’se out, because we’ve got the female brains, plus a lot more you haven’t…and guess what, man has never been the same since either.
What a big top end of town marketed product & promo created mix up, women as men and men as women and the kids stuck in the middle and lost in techno dude synthetic product & computer space forever. What a crazy world, I wonder if there is something wrong in our super progressive social system of do-what-you-like and when-you-like. `Cause I’ve got my rights and no one can tell me what to do…unless youse got big bucks and a stretched limo and can get me on the news, television, movies or in a glossy product magazine.
Time for me tea break and go to the loo.
Ripping Yarns part (2).
Anyways, to pick up from where we left off from Ripping Yarns (1). Plus, I’m not happy either. The Boss upstairs does not like being disturbed on trivial matters and, I got a right ear bashing for disturbing his tranquillity on minor inconsequential problems or somefing. Sorry, can’t remember or spell the long words.
Evidentilies, the Boss has sent someone down here to sort all the marketed product promo problems out, only he can’t be heard above all the rackets –no, racket going on down here. Anyways, youse all got to pay attention and stop making so much marketing product noise and living it up on this trashed Planet and go back to drinking tea for a change, so that Alf can do his boot camp job properly. Also, it takes a long time to see the Boss. So in future, its gotta to be something really important for me to be on the receiving end of his gout. It should be youse out of control café latte lot living the jet setting good life copping it, not me.
Well, the reason that the ancient manuscript that I was stuck on with its translation into proper good English (and American for the Pentagon) was so hard to decipher, is because I thought the problem had gone out the back door a few thousand years ago. Like all us learned men did –you know, fairy stories and Lucifer and all that House of Hollydude marketed scary jazz. But evidently, its Beelzebub inheritance keeps cropping up into human affairs every now and then from the karmic seeds of those who created it. You know, their lineage or laundry or somefing? Because we are all related to those who lived thousands of years ago –otherwise no one would be here on this planet now. At least I don’t think so…and no, I ain’t gonna ask the Boss again, me ears are still ringing from last time.
Anyways, its just like that Greek mythology thingo about Jason & the Hardnuts and those seeds that turn into monsters when youse plant them in the wrong place and don’t nurture them properly…like kids? Or, what quality of karmic influence we have sown with our thoughts & deeds down here, remains down here as perpetuated karmic influence in the spiritual workings of Nature. Eventually, we or future generations have to cop its returning karmic influence down the track of time. ‘Cause as human beings, what we sow is what we reap in the spiritual system that underwrites life. Plus, we share a collective conscious within the interactive workings of primordial Nature and its invisible creativity. So from another unseen level of life, its the spiritual primordial intelligence of Nature & its creativity, that returns all human karmic influence we create in its interactive quantum located spiritual workings to those that created it. Therefore, the lineage of those who created its ‘cause & effect’ karmic influence, only with big plus or minus karmic % on top.
So scientifically speaking, that fairy story about ‘as we sow so do we reap’ & ‘what goes around comes around’, is how the ‘Real System’ works and not a fairy story at all, but a hidden karmic fact of human life contained in our on-going evolution. Because even though we are very clever as a species and award ourselves gongs & big bucks for winning, conquering & knowing everyfing, we don’t understand how Upstairs, Nature or ourselves work and we can’t stop unstoppable evolution…only temporarily stuff it up. Anyways, that ego denting hard to understand fact, is what mankind and in particular universities, scientists, big business & politicians know nuffing about…or want to know about. ‘Cause they can’t see it or experiment on it or make big bucks out of it and that agro, gives them chronic indigestion to even think about it. So they don’t think about it and put it in the too hard basket and go back to doing their own thingo & having a good time after rejecting Alf‘s letters and shredding them.
Anyways, the inside & the outside of the shredded matter, is that we must all do the right thing when we are down here on the Planet, whether we like or not. Then, when we leave on our cosmic travels after we have popped off, we haven’t sown the wrong karmic seeds and mucked the downstairs system up for others to inherit its returning karmic influence. But, we don’t leave this planet in spaceships and flying saucers of course, ‘cause there just not reliable enough to reach heaven. Because they are synthetic and manufactured by us clever lot downstairs and subject to rust, decomposition and too much marketed techno warping in media hyper space, movies & comic books. Like from those loony science fiction writers on the blink with their creative twink. Who Alf says, are always stoned out on space junk and live in the land of the klingnongs. Plus, forever dreaming up weirdo stories for scientists, politicians & star trek fans to read at night instead of Alf‘s articles.
Anyways, if we do the right thing down here on the planet, then we don’t upset the primordial system of unstoppable evolution for others to cop its grotty returning karmic influence afterwards. Because that’s what’s happening right now, even as I write this cross-me-heart-and-hope-to-doie true story to youse from the Bronx. ‘Cause I’m unofficially over here at the moment to return a retranslated untranslatable Tablet to their Museum. That they sent to our Museum when they stopped drinking cups of tea ages ago and started importing mugs of café latte instead. No wonder they can’t translate tablets. Anyways, it’s a long story that happened a couple of centuries ago, but I will try and explain…over a cup of tea that is.
Well, it all started at the Boston Tea Party. Evidentilies, your big wigs had invited our big wigs for one of those official overseas dignitary scoffs. That they always have in high places to make sure everyone who’s not having a good time, knows that they are having a good time for them. But, it all went wrong and turned into a right punch-up & gunpowder kerpoffle, when our big wigs said to your big wigs, that they hadn’t paid the Tea Ladies Tax retrospectively since the last overseas dignitary scoff. Anyways, that hard nose declaration from our English big wigs, really upset your American big wigs constitution big time. `Cause they didn’t see why they should have to pay a tea tax in-between official scoffs, especially when they weren’t over in England to drink it. Quite right too, when youse think about it?
Anyways, your big wigs spat the political dummy over that unfair tea tax and stirred all the local Natives up and said by constitutional law, that everyone could carry blunderbusses and flintlocks to protect them from the overseas English Red Coat Tea Tax Collectors. Then your big wigs promptly dumped all the imported tea bags into the Boston Harbour and said to our big wigs, “tax that lot if you can”. Well, it was all very beneficial to the constitution of the fish swimming around in the Harbour…because they read tablets good now through drinking tea. But evidentilies, it wasn’t very beneficial to anyone else’s Constitution. Because they had a big war over it that emptied their Tax Coffers and both Nations went broke and had to go on the dole.
Anyways, its unproductive karmic influence has been floating around in Boston Harbour & the American System ever since. So that now, everyone carries guns and goes around shooting at things that go bump in the night and other human things they do not like. So officially, that’s what I’m over here to try and fix for Upstairs. Because its antiquated law has gone past the use by date in its worded Constitution and needs to be amended in the 21st century. Otherwise the American people will never get to heaven to collect their harp and that’s a shame, according to Upstairs. Because they mean well in their Constitution but, have got it wrong where those words progress & democracy are concerned. Just like a lot of other Nations in the World that don‘t understand themselves or Upstairs. They only think they do?
Well as I was saying before I got verbally shredded by the opposition. According to Upstairs, its time to settle the karmic books and start again downstairs. Not only with the Tea Ladies Tax, but also in Hollybug and Co and everywhere where they are stoned out on caffe latte & commercial television in this civilization. That now worships big bucks, winning & human beings called winners to acquire self-esteem. Evidentilies, the primordial spiritual system that underwrites physical life & its evolution, just can’t take anymore ‘got it wrong‘ human beings doing what they like with their creativity downstairs. Like in that ‘critical mass’ thingo that the scientists have created and are always talking about over cups of caffe latte and biscuits in their laborotoriums & underground atom bunkers…and just can’t stop talking about it, can’t help themselves. Even when they go on holidays with Mum and the Kids and Auntie Mabel to Afghanistan and Iraq or somefing.
No, they are always getting into trouble from Upstairs for all that funny science dude language they’ve invented to explain how the Universe works. Sorry, I got that wrong, how it don’t work I mean. At least not according to Alf, and he’s pretty knowledgeable about how the ‘Real System’ works. Not like in Hollydud, but that’s another potty story. So I’d better get on with this one, otherwise I will be getting into trouble again from all directions and not only from the big wigs in the British Museum, the White House, the Media Circus, Science Fiction Writers, the Book Club and Hollybug & Co.
Now coming back to what I was saying before I got interripted:
Every two thousand years…give or take a few science wobbles, the Solar System goes round one spititual cycle and somefing very nice happens. Them guess what…and I didn’t know this, every ten thousand years the Universe goes around too. To then and start again within the hapless happenings of human beings and especially the big wigs in the driving seat running it all. Anyways, according to Alf‘s tealeaves, it must be something to do with that fairy story about ‘what goes around comes around & what goes up must come down again…like karma. You know, that other fairy story that isn’t a fairy story in the ‘Real System’ upstairs, only in our human created systems downstairs.
Anyways, it’s all a bit above my head, but I will try and explain it again in scientific dude language this time, that I haven’t quite got the hang of yet. `Cause I can’t write articles without making spelling mistakes yet. Plus, I don’t drink caffe latte, watch commercial television or read glossy magazines and science fiction books at night or in the loo. Evidentilies, the unknown Upstairs fact of the karmic matter, is that all influence created by the human being, is returned to the human being –sooner or later. If youse don’t cop it personally, because you are not on terra-firma anymore (down here on the planet?) then those you have left behind cop it. You know, the family tree and all that. Its perpetuated karmic influence is also contained in our genes. So its really two channels of influence that we have to cop from our ancestors. One is in our bloodline and the other is ‘written in the stars’…so to speak.
Because it is the interactive spiritual based influence of our solar system and its planets, that is also the primordial archetypal intelligence of our physical minds and bodies and personalities. You know, it manifests as our biology, genes & chemistry and all that hard to understand scientific stuff. Because according to the book of Alf, life has gotta have come from somewhere, ‘cause nuffing comes from nuffing. That means whether we like to admit it or not, there must be somefing greater and more intelligent than us dissolvable human beings that created everyfing and of course, that‘s where the word God comes into human affairs to explain its paradox through Religion and its human written books.
Because when youse think about that statement of ‘nuffing comes from nuffing’ and work it out, logic says that everyfing down here and in the Universe must have come from somewhere or somefing to be here in the first place. Otherwise there wouldn’t be anyfing anywhere or any place and nuffing would exist to experiment on and re-arrange in those science laborotoriums. But youse try telling the scientists and other clever people that nuffing comes from nuffing, and they will send you to elocution & spelling lessons as well the funny farm for thought rehabilitation. Because in questioning the activity of Science and talking about spirituality & God, you’ve obviously lost your marbles and become a bad influence on Society called a nutcase by some and a science heretic by others.
In fact just like in the Middle Ages, when the then resident Pope in Rome blew his top and confiscated all the telescopes & science fiction books in the world. Because some nutcases called scientists, had been peering into them and telling the people that our Earth wasn’t the centre of the Universe and that it was sort of round, like an orange. When of course, everyone in the Vatican and in the bottom end of town knew that it is was flat and that you would fall off it if you went for a long walk with the dog. Anyways, for telling big porkies to the people, they got branded a heretic by the Pope and roasted over the coals and sent to science purgatory. Anyways, in this century, its Alf’s turn to be a heretic and get roasted by the scientists and not the Pope for telling big porkies to the people. At least that’s what tea lady at the British Museum where I work reckons…and I don’t argue with the tea lady about anyfing. Because she controls the biscuits as well as the tea trolley.
So according to the heretic book of Alf, its from another spiritual dimension of Creation that the primordial archetypal intelligence of Nature materializes to structure our physical bodies & evolution. As well as containing all our human created karmic influence too in its spiritual domain that underwrites Life, our Universe, our Planets and their solar cycles, but not in push-bikes. `Cause they haven’t got them Upstairs yet, only space junk from Nasta and the Pentagon and plastic bottles, tins and fast food wrappers from you know who? (not allowed to advertise on official business).
But, youse try telling the Scientists that and they will lock you up…or worse still, experiment on you with a blindfold on and re-arrange you in those laborotoriums to see what makes you tick funny. Like they do with everything else that walks, talks, moves or wriggles on this living planet. Well on second thoughts, not all Scientists. Some are very nice people indeed and talk the talk and know what is up and what is down. If youse get my negative/positive human creativity drift in those laborotoriums, underground atom bunkers, the script writing brigade, the book club & commercial television.
Anyways, if you want to avoid men in white coats carting you away to the funny farm, best to keep this new heretical information top secret for the time being. Until the good scientists…the positive nice ones that don‘t mind my rotten spelling, gain control of things down here once more and start pressing the right and not the wrong buttons in Science. Because some of the ‘got it wrong’ ones, that look like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths and can talk the hind-leg off a donkey and work for the multi-nationals, are really cuckoo and on power pills and way out of order with their brilliant scientific intelligence. That means they are also way out of order and lost in techno, gm & Dr Strangelove space with what they are synthetically creating out of their superior intelligence and flogging it to us marketed product mugs.
Plus, all they have to say is those magic words Progress, Science, Big Bucks, The Economy, Nobel and New Frontier’s to conquer with genome technology, animals, wigglies, the atom and outer space. Along with that other clincher of an argument from the politicians, to save Mankind from its own created problems and get re-elected again by a grateful public. So that Guverments just cave into those super brilliant ideas from incomplete Science and cough up the readies for them to do what they like in their laborotoriums, underground atom trashing bunkers & science fiction books.
In fact, just like Guverments give the official greed nod to Big Bizo and the global Piggy Banks to own the World and gobble it up from out of Multi-national Corporations and all their got-it-in-the-bag I’m-alright jump-in-jack affluent global shareholders. All living the jet setting money making stocks & shares good life at the expense of the planet and us marketed product brainwashed mugs…and that’s really weirdo when youse think about it. `Cause we let ‘em do it and say thank you very much afterwards and can I have some more please sir.
Along with allowing obsessive corporate global expansion, takeovers, monopolization and the control of Nation’s economies and lots of other out of control big buck activity. All being justified in the name of progress, democracy, free enterprise and affluence on a level playing field they have made, not us. Because we ain’t allowed on it, not even to bring the tea and biscuits to boardroom where it all happens. `Cause they even made the tea lady profession redundant to make more money for their shareholders, who only drink café latte on walkways and pavements.
What a ‘orrible unfair corporate & media & marketing genius created product mess indeed. In fact it’s full of Darth’s brownie points and unmenchinable things that go bump in the night in the boardroom, as well on commercial television. According to Alf that is, who only drinks tea and doesn’t read glossy magazines or science fiction books or go dancing with the stars on commercial television or at those dancing pole nightclubs. But no one else see’s it Alf’s way of course, `cause they are all stoned out on corporate magic mushrooms and into big bucks, gizmo products and celebrity worshiping mania, as well as cooking programs & caffeine overdose.
Evidentlies, we are all watching too much commercial television and crappy days of our product prozact out lives and other T.V. Soapies, Reality Shows, Boobs & Abs Programs, Hollydud & Co and Question Time In The House. At least that’s what Alf and the Tea Lady reckon and Alf’s usually right about the shenanigans of the stars and the politicians and their closet wheelie dealie doings…and, he don’t get it out of human whatnot impregnated I-love-me glossy magazines and its look how successful, brilliant and beautiful I am marketing genius promo spiel either. No, he uses them for mulching in his garden and in another place we all use everyday…for economy purposes that is.
Anyways, coming back to what I was saying before about the Devil and all that spooky jazz that no one believes in anymore. Evidentlies, there’s these bad dudes downstairs (you know, the opposition to Upstairs) and these powerful dudes are jetting around doing their own karmic inherited do-what-you-like thingo…and its their ancestors, who created that grotty karmic influence of megalomania, greed & worshiping human beings called winners in the first place…that’s why they are stuck with doing it in this life. ‘Cause scientifically speaking, its karmic influence is passed on from one generation to another in their gene line. You know, their ancestral inheritance and all that. That’s why its influence is still in the system of some ‘got it wrong’ human beings on this planet and what Alf calls the Faust enigma. You know, forever doing wheelie dealies with the opposition to Upstairs to get what they want in life downstairs and have a good time at Fred‘s Casino and those dancing pole nightclubs.
Anyways, recently the bad dudes have been trying to get their Boss back by doing a load of chanting and geriatric theatricals and dressing up as fruitloops, but not in Hoollyrude of course. No, they just dress-down instead, like in the movies and video’s and glossy magazines full of created products and the body beautiful. Evidentlies, they make more money by having no clothes on when there doing their marketed promo thingo down here –you know, showing off their abs and boobs & whatnots and singing, acting and chanting nursery rhymes and clapping each other afterwards…like in adult pantomimes and all that. In fact just like at Oscar’s Place, where they even collect statues for doing it with no clothes on…after hours that is.
Evidentlies, its all to do with having a karmic screw loose and doing what you like and how you like and calling it entertainment, celebrity, stardom, fame and artistic freedom of expression. Sort of like being in kindergarten as a kid only worse. No, they just haven’t grown up yet and learnt how to act socially responsible and with dignity in a Society. At least that’s what Upstairs says…and they should know, ‘cause they made ‘em. But not anymore, Upstairs has had enough of them doing their own ego preening cat walk thingo downstairs and calling it progress, success and being a winner. Plus, getting paid millions of bucks for stuffing everything positive up on the planet with their karmic influence. Just like a lot of other people at the moment in entreprenudial big global corporate bizo.
Well, as I was saying before I got carried away with me verbals. What’s really got up the noses of these powerful bad dudes lately, is that they’ve just found out that our Boss has beat ‘em to it –he’s already here. In fact just like Dr Who and the Tardis on the BBC, he’s been here for ages. Which means of course, that they just can’t win at playing gods & goddesses or dialeks & klingnongs anymore, like their used to doing all the time. No, they muffed it good and proper last year at their annual picnic day from all their weirdo chanting and Hollybug antics of worshiping statues, each other, marketed products, the body beautiful and its whatnots.
Anyways, according to the Delphi Oracle and not Alf this time, its down the cosmic tubes they all go in the finger pointing departure lounge. Unless they get their ‘got it wrong’ Darth act together and grow up instead of down –honest. Because according to Alf, its like winning a family race. ‘Cause the elder son, is always going to beat his younger brothers and sisters to the finishing line. Simply because he’s been around much longer and he knows how the Upstairs brownie point system works, i.e. first come first served and I’m Dad’s favourite in the finger pointing departure lounge.
So from now on, all that selfish klingnong do-what-you-like activity for the Media worshiped few, has got to change. So that everyone can pass the finish line together all grown up…assuming they want too? Then everyone can get a pat on the back and a gong for being successful and happy with their lot on this shared Planet –and not just the gifted, privileged and wealthy and so-called successful. All living the human created good life on extra serotonin from being worshiped by the Media and from telling others what to do and how to do it to be called successful and a winner in life. Because Alf reckons they are not winners Upstairs, only downstairs. Where it don’t count in the departure lounge when we trash everything and go around worshiping ourselves & big bucks to acquire self-esteem.
So according to Upstairs, that ‘orrible got it wrong human created system downstairs and its human created reality has got to change if we want to get to heaven. Because that ‘got it wrong’ system of inequality and greed and I’m alright jack and the manipulation and exploitation of those who are weaker and born less fortunate, are in for the high jump. You know, straight out of Creation in the departure lounge with no return ticket and all that hard cheese jazz.
Anyways, coming back to the fairy story…as some might say.
The eldest son is always in charge of Family matters whenever Dad’s gone away on big bizo, after he reaches twenty one that is. It evidently has something to do with the natural functioning of the spiritual Laws of Nature and, not many people realize these spiritual Laws or have intuitive access to them anymore in their commercial product & marketing genius brainwashed brainbox. No, they are far to busy doing their own product thingo downstairs and having a jolly good time at Fred’s gambling casino in the desert, or was it bad time? (dunno, can’t remember) to realize God’s intelligence within Creation. For that’s what the Laws of Nature are in their spiritual manifestation within the human mind. To prevents us from going off the rails and into product & human worshiping la la land, like we are now.
In fact all of life-intelligence functions through those spiritual self-referral Laws of Nature. The animals are in tune with them through instinct, therefore positive progress for them within evolution is automatic. We unfortunately, are out of tune with them, because we have the human power to ignore those intuitive spiritual Natural Laws and their ‘order out of chaos’ function in our brain. Especially when we become lost in making big bucks and worshiping products, winners and celebrities to acquire self-esteem. Because its those spiritual Laws of Nature, that should compliment the human mind and its creativity to function and live in perfect harmony with everything in Creation. Not treat it like a kids meccano game and lego from all its bits & pieces and wigglies and calling it progress and technological innovation and conquering new fronteirs. What a science created synthetic toxic stuff-up it all is, according to the articles of Alf that is. Because evidentlies, we are polluting everything and gobbling up the planet’s irreplaceable resources in that so-called progress for mankind…and that’s very weirdo. According to the book of Alf and the tea lady at the British Museum where I work translating too hard to translate Assyrian Tablets.
Which brings us back to some of those fruitloop big wig Scientists again, who are not in Upstairs good books one little bit. Simply because they are always experimenting on everything willy-nilly and swapping bits and pieces and parts around to see what happens afterwards. You know, like in Frankenstein and the Island of Dr Moreou or Professor Morriarti or somefing…sorry can’t spell names. Then patting themselves on the back and collecting gongs because they THINK they’ve passed the finish line and can get the Media trumpets out to blast us all with its techno dude information. When of course they haven’t. No, the Boss says they haven’t got a clue –but are very good at convincing us lot that they know everything, because they are clever. Or was it not so clever, dunno can’t remember all the words now.
Anyways, the long and the shredded of it, is that Upstairs wants all those Scientist’s that are experimenting ad hoc with other life-intelligence and the atom and doing what they like with anything and everything, to “down tools” until we have reached the end of Alf’s talking journey. If they do not listen and understand a different reality than theirs, then they are in for the high jump good and proper. You know, down the cosmic tubes in the departure lounge with their spiritual evolution. We must all understand, that we cannot do just what we like on this delicate biological living planet with our human intelligence & creativity. No, wisdom, ethics, foresight, humility, empathy and understanding ourselves & Nature must come into it too, and those spiritual acquired qualities are currently missing in our material consumed Civilization. In Nature’s dictionary, it is called acquiring maturity of consciousness and the consideration of Creation as a very intelligent interacting system of invisible archetypal spiritual intelligence –yet very delicate & vulnerable to the wrong doings of human beings.
Anyways, we all live on this shared Planet, not just those in incomplete Science. `Cause once they create something in their synthetic laborotoriums and put it into the system of life, we are all influenced by it –for good or for bad…and, it is mostly bad at the moment in the form of synthetic toxic pollution for those who come after us. Upstairs reckons we are blind with our scientific twiddling with the atom and experimenting on life & re-arranging everything in Creation. Because this synthetic polluting activity, is unknowingly destroying the means for life to exist on this living evolving planet. So we have to understand where life comes from and the intelligence that created it, before continuing any more of that so-called scientific progress for mankind. Otherwise, according to Alf and his tealeaves, its pop goes the weasel and good night Mr Chips for our species down the track of time.
Anyways, I’ve gotta go now and book a urgent ticket with Upstairs to get home quick. `Cause I’ve just been summonsed by the British Museum big wigs on me intergalactic cell phone, to get myself back in the office to explain what I’m doing over here with their Tablets in the opposition’s Museum. Anyways, I’ve asked Alf to post this at www Articlesbase in his articles, ‘cause I aint got an article account their with my rotten spelling. And I’ll go and post some other translations of the Celestine Pothole manuscripts on notice boards in the bottom end of town…then youse can all start working it out. Then after I’ve had a cup of tea and sorted out that tea ladies tax problem, I‘ll be back with some important leaflets explaining how to get to heaven by understanding how the ‘Real System’ works and practising correct meditation.
Kind regards – Stephen Gripes on behalf of Upstairs.
p.s. Just got home.
I forgot to mention, that Upstairs says if we keep worshiping I-love-me Hollybug & Co and Oscar’s, days of our got it wrong lives and other TV lost in la la land soapies, celebrities, winners and human created products from the commercial media circus, along with the loony tunes advertising/marketing and talk the hind-leg of a donkey brigades on the equally product brain damaged commercial television, then we will not go to heaven…but the opposition. `Cause he’s got gout…the Boss that is. He reckons us noisy product worshiping adults down here have given it to him. So we will have to see him first if we keep on that Media created funny farm path of worshiping other human beings for their looks and talents and abs and whatnots and its top end of town directed ‘Simon Says’ do this to acquire self-esteem.
p.p.s. The Boss reckons that immature hollydude hype and its psychological manipulation from clever human beings does not belong in Heaven. So it should not belong on this beautiful Earth and especially when we turn twenty one. So all those lost in its I-love-me look-how-successful and beautiful-I-am ego preening product space, have got to grow up and learn to respect the Planet and Nature and other not born fortunate human beings doing it hard in the stalls. Anyways, more about this Hollybug human worshiping klingnong matter from grumpy Alf soon, `Cause its nuffing to do with me. I only translate too hard to translate tablets, like this one. Anyways, I’m going for me tea break before the big wigs in the office upstairs scoff all the biscuits again, like that lot upstairs at the BBC, but that’s another story.
p.p.p.s.
Nearly forgot. Upstairs also says to all those perpetuating garbage creativity on this beautiful Planet that we all share, here’s a capital letter sticker for the stretched limo bumper bar. Especially in Hollybug, Big Global Corporate Bizo, the Piggy Banks and in other wheelie dealie big buck commercial places in the top end of town.
Updated downstairs quote:
THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH THAN EVER DREAMED OF IN OUR HUMAN CREATED REALITIES.
So I reckon that bloke Shakespeare the Bard got it right in one of his famous plays about ‘got it wrong’ powerful human beings on the blink with their ancestral inheritance…what do youse think? Youse can answer that question here at Articlebase if youse want to. But only for a little while, cause I’m going on me archaeological digging holidays soon and don’t know when I’ll be back. Its up to the Boss, because he’s got the annual leave dates, I haven’t.

2 Sure-Fire Tips for Self Motivation
2 Sure-Fire Tips for Self Motivation
Let me tell you a quick story. When I started my business in 1993, I faced all the challenges experienced by most new business start-ups. I also had to deal with the all the negative situations; the people who said – “The Speaking and Training business is a hard market to break into, it’s very competitive, you’re very brave! There was also the rejection from potential customers and the people who’d let me down at the last minute.
I quickly realised that if I was going to be successful, there were two things that I really needed. Lots of BRAIN ENERGY and lots of BODY ENERGY.
Sure-fire tip number 1 is – Build your Brain Energy.
Imagine that you’ve just been rejected for a bank loan, or you’ve just been turned down by a potential customer, or a publishing company has rejected the book that you’ve slaved over for the past couple of years.
If you react with – “Oh no, not again, I’m really fed up with this. These people are a real pain. They’re making a big mistake. What am I going to do now?”
This sort of reaction drains your brain of energy, adds to your stress levels and destroys your self motivation.
Reacting drains the brain – thinking less so.
Get the thinking part of your brain working and say to yourself – “I’ll make an appointment today with a better bank! I’ll phone the next potential customer on my list right now! The next publishing company will see the potential in my book!”
There are also many minor situations that happen every day that’ll drain the energy from your brain. If I receive a parking ticket, I pay the fine right away; get rid of it; forget it and move on. Moaning and complaining about it drains the brain and the fine still has to be paid.
Do not, and I repeat, do not say – “Oh no, what am I going to do now?” Every time you say – “Oh no” your brain has a huge drain of energy.
Build up your brain energy using lots positive self-talk.
Your level of success in terms of your happiness, emotional wellbeing and anything else you desire is a direct result of how you talk to yourself. The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself.
Listen to the self-talk that goes on in your head and ask yourself – “Is what I’m saying allowing me to be confident, on top and going for it?” If so – great!
“Or is it holding me back and stopping me achieve my goals?” If this is the case – STOP IT, change the program!
Think about the things you say to yourself and make every statement in the present tense.
Don’t say, for example – “I’m going to make a success of this business” or “I’m going to get organised,” or “I’m going to be much more confident.”
Say – “I am totally in control of my life. I am totally confident and positive. I’m achieving my goals. I have determination and drive.”
What you’re actually doing here is re-programming your subconscious. If you talk to yourself in a positive way, that’s what your subconscious will focus on and you’ll have lots of brain energy
Sure-fire tip number 2 is – Build your Body Energy
The body and the brain are linked together so when the brain drains of energy so does the body. However, the body also does a lot of running about, up and down off the seat and often takes a bit of a beating.
For it to work well, it needs to be in good condition in the first place. We all know by now that if we eat too much or eat the wrong things, smoke too much or drink too much alcohol, then our body is in danger of breaking down.
However, if you want more body energy, then you’re going to have to do some exercise. (Do I hear you saying – “I need the body energy before I can do the exercise!?”) You know as well as I, that if you take more exercise, you will have more energy.
Now I know you think you don’t have the time. You may also be the type that doesn’t want to go to the gym and lift heavy things or leap about in an aerobics class; however, you need to take some exercise that makes you sweat a little.
I’m sorry, but a round of golf doesn’t count, it isn’t the kind of exercise you need. Golf is great and it’s good for the stress but it doesn’t make you sweat.
If you’re going to walk then walk fast for a distance, enough to push up the heart rate and increase the breathing.
Again, get your internal program right and start to think how you can make your exercise enjoyable. I see some people at the health club making the whole business a real chore. They get on a bike or a rowing machine and try to kill themselves for twenty minutes. If that’s your thing then fine but please don’t make it a chore, plug into the sound system and catch up with what’s on TV.
If you’re really not into exercise then please make sure you have other activities outside of your workplace and make them fun. Too many people are going home and slumping in front of the TV – successful people don’t do that.
Make no mistake about it; if you look after the body and the brain; you’ll have lots of VROOM! (And that’s another word for self-motivation)

SELP HELP GROUPS-THE RURAL WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
SELP HELP GROUPS-THE RURAL WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
INTRODUCTION:
The rural women are the marginalized groups of our society. Due to the presence of socio-economic constraints in the rural areas, women’s potential for development remained far from fully utilized and they have been pushed further back into the social hierarchical systems. To bring the rural women to the fore, SELD HELP GROUP play crucial role in rural and urban marketing by manufacturing and selling the rural product.
Marketing the product made by the SHG is an important and most difficult one as the product has to sold through the rural marketing concept to the rural people themselves. And as such marketing in the urban area is much more difficult. The SHG people have to emphasis on the quality, of the product and affordable price to enhance the sales. Therefore SHG have to explore the ways and means of providing products and services that meets the needs, aspiration and attitude of rural consumer and evolve appropriate communication strategy and market promotion.
SELF HELP GROUP-DEFINITON AND MEANING
According to the draft declaration of the third preparatory committee, New york 1995, Empowerment of women is focused, as that empowering women to strengthen their capacities is the main objective of development and its principal resources. Empowerment requires the full participation of people in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of decision that determine the functioning and well-being of our societies.
CONCEPT OF SHG AND ITS FUNCTIONALITIES:
The Concept of “SHG” mould the women as a responsible citizen of the country achieving social and economic status. SHG in our country has become a source of inspiration of women welfare. Now- a- days formation of SHG is a viable alternative to achieve the objective of rural development and to get community participation in all rural development programmes.
A Self help group(SHG) may generally consist of 10-20 persons. However, in difficult area like desserts, hills and area with scattered and sparse population and in case of minor irrigation and disabled persons, this number may be from 5-20.The difficult areas have to be identified by the state level SGSY committee.
Self help group is a small voluntary association of poor people, preferably from the same socio-economic background. They come together for the purpose of solving their common problems through self-help and mutual help. This common fund is in the name of the SHG.Usually, the number of members in one SHG does not exceed twenty peoples.
Functioning of the model SHG :
The Self help group generally has members not exceeding 20 and each group selects among its members a leader called “Animator”. The Animator conduct 2 or 3 meeting in a month. The group member saves a regular amount of Rs 20 to Rs100 and more everymonth.The group rotates the money to the need members for various purposes at a specified low interest rate. This activity also paves way for socio-economic empowerment of women and builds confidence in them that they could stand on their own.
Group training:
Group training is held regularly at least 3 modules each of 2 days this phase would enable all to participate effectively, especially the weaker member to build group culture and to develop further self-confidence in private and public life to help members.
SHG members training contain the following information:
SHG concept, roles of animator, representative and members. Savings-needs, how, where, frequency, type, amount. Type and repayment of loans, accounts books. Characteristics of a SHGs annual action plan. Grading of SHG Linkage and activities for village. Group reserve fund, insurance and common fund.
Guiding principles for Self-help groups:
SHG membership should be resident in the same area, be homogeneous and number at least five persons. SHG should promote savings mobilization. Savings should be linked to credit: Savings first, credit next. SHG should begin with simple book keeping system. SHG should hold regulars meetings (once a week if possible) Group leaders should be elected by the members, with group function or position being rotated among the members. Transaction costs should be kept to a minimum through simplified group procedure and control.
Objectives of Self -help groups:
The SHGs comprise very poor people who do not have access to formal financial institution. They act as the forum for the members to provide space and support to each other. It also enables the members to learn to co-operate and work in a group environment.
SHG members comprise only poor people:
The SHG-bank linkage programme is targeted to reach the poorest sections, which are by passed by the formal banking system. Therefore, it is essential that only the very people be considered as the target group for the SHG-bank linkage progarmmes
SHG comprise only women members:
An SHG can be all-women group, all-men group, or even a mixed group. However, it has been the experience that women’s groups perform better in all the important activities of SHGs. Mixed group is not preferred in many of the places, due to the presence of conflicting interests.
SHGs are sustainable because:
Members come together due to felt need, on platform of affinity and commonality of problem. SHGs are savings led and act as adhesive. They are characterized by collective and participatory wisdom. They offer interface with the banking network. They offer platform for women’s empowerment.
Subsidy Norms for SHGs and Disabled persons :
Subsidy under the SGSY will be uniform at 30% of the project cost, subject to a maximum of Rs7500/-.In respect of SC/ST and disabled person however, these will be 50% and Rs 10,000/- respectively. For group of SHG , the subsidy would be 50% of the project cost subject to per capital subsidy of Rs 10,000/- or monetary limit on subsidy for irrigation projects.
Conclusion:
Self help groups have been shown to be a cost effective way to help and meet the social and emotional needs of individuals and families dealings with the problems in living. Self-help groups in rural areas may be particularly valuable and needed community resources for promoting human and family development. Thus, Self-Help groups may have the potential to contribute significantly to human and family development in rural areas.

The Human Brain The center of the human nervous system
The single most amazing part of a human being is of course our minds. The brain of a human being has the same structure as the brains of other mammals, but is over five times as large.
Despite this size advantage I can’t help but ask myself am I qualified to write about “brains”. Of course not! But it’s the internet, so who’s going to stop me?
Our brain controls our movements, thoughts, actions, behavior, heartbeat and well, everything.
Our brains are capable of Thrusting us to Heroic acts such as risking our own life to save a loved one or even to save a complete stranger.
Because of our brains were capable of undying love, dedication and devotion. All the great things you can think of are because of the human mind. The sky is the limit.
The other side of this equation? All of the evil, dishonest, and self destructive behavior we human beings are capable of originates in the human mind as well.
Unfortunatly Our brains have a way of encouraging us to do what is easiest or most satisfying in the short term, as apposed to what we know is best for us or what we feel is morally wright.
Some brains are remembered forever for their brilliance and impact on history like Benjamin Franklin, who invented electricity. This didn’t happen over night How many of us could work on something day after day, year after year that most people would say is impossible to do? A rare brain indeed!
Another legendary brain was Known for formulating the theory of relativity.(I’m ashamed to admit that off the top of my head I don’t recall what it even is, but I do remember that gentlemens name was Albert Einstein )(O.K. I just took the time to wikipedia the theory of relativity and now I really don’t understand.) Ole Albert had some pretty cool quotes to!
Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.
“There are two ways to live your life – one is though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.
The brains of people like Einstein are rare for sure. We all can’t be Einstein and most of us probably wouldn’t want to anyway. BUT we can change our minds and our unwanted behavior. The human mind is open to positive suggestions.
We all know that overeating and smoking are haszerdous to our health, so why is it we succumb to these temptations until they are full blown addictions?
Despite all the techniclogical advances in modern medicine, the smartest minds in the world don’t have the answers to the merriot of questions. The human mind is the least understood organ we have.
One thing that we’ve known for years is We can change our bad habits and even the way our subconious mind thinks and responds to different stimuli. We can use our minds to strengthen our minds. Most people truly feel happier when they give their brains plenty of excercise.
,p> There is a technique that has been successfully used to treat addictions, fears, stress, and all sorts of other conditions for thousands of years.
It has no side effects And there isn’t a one of us who hasn’t heard about it. Hypnosis, yes Hypnosis, Something as simple as positive suggestions to the human mind is proving successful for pain relief, weight loss, smoking sesation and many other conditions. And it’s much safer then popping pills.
Studies at Johns Hopkins and other institions of higher learning show a reduction in fear and anxieiety and even pain relief in patients that underwent hypnosis treatments prior to surgery.
If you watch TV or read magazine articles you probably have seen something recently about Hypnosis. Its use is at an all time high. More people then ever before are turning to hypnosis with great success.
