@ Chat~ - .... The reason that we forget people's names soon after the introduction is that instead of giving your brain time to process the information for a few seconds we are desperately waiting to hear our own name being spoken by the person we are being introduced to. It must be a mini ego thing us humans do. When you do a business course you are taught to break that cycle, thereby making it easier to remember their name. Swapping business cards was another method but that is limited to business and not casual encounters.
@ Robplum - .... If you read my post again you will notice that I stated that it makes it 'much harder' and 'nearly impossible'. I never said it was fool-proof....
@ Lukeon - ..... I use a 'Secure VPN' as part of my antivirus program. Secure VPN isn't fool proof but it makes it so much harder for someone to get access to my computer or follow me on the internet, combine that with the fact that I use a wireless broadband internet connection, makes it nearly impossible.
VPN = virtual private network..... assigns a new, random ip address to my computer each time that I log on.
@ Samsonx - .... Firstly I'd inform him/her that when I was downloaded I did receive a username but no password. Then I would ask for my manual, from which I could ascertain such things as 'make and model' and other much needed information .....
7. The Law of Cause and Effect One of the most straightforward laws of the universe, the Law of Cause and Effect tells us that all actions have a corresponding reaction. You will already know this, of course, when it comes to the physical aspects of the world. However, perhaps you haven’t considered how this law might be applied to the spiritual aspects of our universe. Your spiritual life can impact the world around you, causing positive or negative reactions. Similarly, your physical environment can impact on your spirituality, whether for good or for ill. Ask yourself what types of relationships you see between the spiritual and the physical, and how you might want to change them. 8. The Law of Compensation According to the Law of Compensation, you will receive what you put out. This is similar to the Law of Attraction, but with a focus on the idea that compensation can come in many forms. For example, if you win a large amount of money then you might think you’re getting a reward. However, depending on how you have lived, your vast amount of wealth could lead to a worse life rather than a better one. Essentially, you reap what you sow this law reminds you to be careful about how you treat others, and indeed the planet. 9. Law of Relativity The Law of Relativity is all about the neutrality of things when seen in isolation. So, no particular person, experience, emotion or action is evaluated as good or bad until you look at it in comparison with something else. For example, you may think you are poor, but perhaps that’s because you have three wealthy uncles. By keeping this law in mind, you remain conscious of the fact that there are always multiple perspectives on anything that happens to you. Trying to slip into these alternate perspectives can make you more grateful, and can also show you where you can make improvements in life. 10. Law of Polarity When thinking about the Law of Polarity, the most important thing to remember is that absolutely everything has an opposite and that it’s the very existence of these opposites that allow us to understand our life. Consequently, when you go through something difficult, it will be this thing that helps you truly appreciate the good developments to come. By regularly reminding yourself of this, you can improve your resilience in troubled times. For example, though a bad breakup is painful, it teaches you what doesn’t work for you in a relationship, helping you to eventually find what does. Continued in comments below...
