While searching the internet I came across this article on Common Sense, hope you enjoy!
NEENAH, Wis., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Underscoring the importance
of sharing practical information, eight of 10 Americans claim that exchanging
common-sense information with others makes them smarter, and 68 percent
believe it even makes them more successful. Indeed, a new national survey on
common sense and sharing commissioned by SCOTT(R) Tissue and Towels finds that
99 percent consider common sense important to their everyday lives.
While Americans think common sense is important, they don't realize it can
be developed. In fact, 40 percent don't believe it can be learned, and only
one-in-five Americans thinks people are born with it. But Robert J.
Sternberg, IBM Professor of Psychology and Education and Professor of
Management at Yale University and an expert on practical intelligence, differs
strongly with that view. He contends that common sense is a life skill that
can be learned and improved, especially by sharing ideas and information with
others.
Dr. Sternberg, who has studied practical intelligence for more than 20
years, has completed notable research concluding that sharing information can
increase levels of common sense. "While many people believe it is a genetic
trait that can't be changed, common sense, in reality, isn't something we're
born with but something we learn in the school of life."
Recognizing the importance of sharing ideas, the SCOTT Brand is beginning
a nationwide Common Sense Tour in May 2005. The 15-city tour kicks off in New
York City on May 11 and will bring residents together to share their common-
sense tips and ideas. The tour will feature the House that Common Sense
Built, an interactive common-sense exhibit and "think tank." In addition,
SCOTT continues the year-old online Common Sense Community, at
http://www.ScottCommonSense.com , a resource for everyday common-sense tips
and information.
"Common sense is something we use every day, which is why we created the
House that Common Sense Built," says Ellen Wheeler, associate director of
SCOTT Tissue and Towels. "It's a place where people will give and get useful
common-sense information from across the country. As the creator of one of
the most practical household products, toilet paper, this shows how the SCOTT
Brand is committed to making common sense more common."
Additionally, the common-sense tips collected along the tour will go
toward a great cause. The SCOTT Brand is making a $300,000 donation to
Habitat for Humanity during the 2005 Common Sense Tour to help deserving
communities throughout the country.
The new SCOTT Brand survey uncovered many illuminating findings about
Americans' views of common sense.
Why Common Sense Matters
Common sense plays a major role in our everyday lives -- from cleaning the
house to managing finances. Ninety-nine percent of Americans say common sense
is important.
Americans identify a number of challenges in managing their lives.
Seventy percent report being overwhelmed by finances and 40 percent by
managing a household. Nearly half of respondents say that spending time with
their partners and finding personal time are challenges.
Men vs. Women
By a wide margin, Americans perceive that women are more open than men to
receiving common-sense advice on a number of life topics. Four-of-five
Americans say women are more open to seek advice on parenting, while only five
percent think men would do the same. In addition:
-- 85 percent of Americans believe that women are more open to seeking
tips and practical advice on relationships with partners.
-- 85 percent of Americans believe that women are more open to seeking
tips and advice on raising children.
-- Americans overwhelmingly see women as more likely to share advice on
parenting (90%), running a household (85%) and health (80%).
-- Men are perceived as more likely than women to share advice and tips on
career and work (47%), financial management (46%), and purchasing new
products (62%).
Common Sense Starts at Home with Mom and Dad
Home is not only where the heart is. Eighty-three percent of Americans
say they learned common sense growing up, primarily from their parents. A
large percentage of those who learned it growing up also felt they learned it
from teachers (59%) and other relatives (53%).
-- About a quarter say they learned common sense from siblings (26%) and
coaches (23%).
-- Men are more likely to report that they learned from coaches (31%,
compared to 13% of women).
Finding Common Sense in Your Community
Americans are divided on the ease of finding common sense in their
communities. Only 10 percent believe that it's "very easy" to find people in
their local community with whom they can share practical advice.
On the other hand, some Americans are more familiar with where they can
get practical advice in their communities. For instance, according to the
survey, people in Boise, Salt Lake City and San Antonio think it's easy to
find people in their community with whom they can share tips. Whereas,
residents of Los Angeles and Denver say it is more challenging to know who to
go to in their cities.
Because most Americans aren't sure where to go in their communities for
practical advice, it's no surprise they don't seek common-sense advice very
often.
Common Sense Tour
That helps explain why SCOTT Brand created the Common Sense Community in
2004, an online resource for everyday common-sense tips and information. The
web site, http://www.ScottCommonSense.com , has become so popular that SCOTT
decided to turn this "virtual" forum into reality by hitting the road with an
interactive experience.
The House that Common Sense Built is a traveling home that brings the
everyday common-sense solutions from the online community to life. Just like
the Common Sense Community, people can discover and share useful common-sense
solutions that will improve their everyday life and common sense. The House
and the online community offer:
-- Time-saving strategies that create room for the things you love
-- Easy organizing solutions that take only 10 - minutes
-- Neat and clean tips that'll save time on big cleaning tasks
-- Healthful hints that improve your mind, body and soul
Inside the House that Common Sense Built, people can visit four rooms:
the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Each room provides a sharing
space where unique common-sense tips are exchanged, building and strengthening
common sense across the country.

Your Own Personal Budget
It really surprises me when I find out that many today don’t have a budget? Or won’t admit to it? I guess the ones who don’t have one figure that they have all the money in the world, “now wouldn’t that be nice”? But, some of us with common since know better... Let’s get started on the path of financial well being!
If you want to know how to put together a personal budget the right way, first you need to understand what the wrong way is. Creating a personal budget is probably the single most important thing you can do to move yourself towards financial security. A good way to prevent yourself from digging yourself further and further into debt is to form a personal budget that can work for you.
The big thing that stops most people from creating and maintaining a personal budget is fear - fear of facing the ugly beast of too much debt, too many bills, and not enough money. Many people believe that there are a lot of rules to follow when making a personal budget. Budgets can be a lot of work, but they don’t need to be, if you follow the First Rule of Making a Personal Budget: Keep it Simple.
Most businessmen entertain the notion that a huge chunk of cash can spell the difference between success and failure in business undertakings, which can be true to a large extent, however it was proven that proper financial management is the key. Doing your personal budget the right way is really about avoiding the confusing pitfalls that can goof you up. Make sure that the budget software vendor have an efficient customer support and after sales services.
Here are several features your budget software should have, to effectively help you keep track of expenditures and record your savings. What is it you would like to achieve over time? What are your targets for your budget? Make a list of all of these things, then you should begin to layout your financial means.
By knowing what money is coming in each month, and the dollar amount of the bills being paid each month, will give you a very good understanding if you can, or can’t afford to buy that next item on your list.
It sounds like a lot of work setting up, and it could be? But keep it simple and just follow it each month, and you’ll be amazed how rewarding it can be....

Common Sense Exercise: Weight Loss Solutions for the Common Man or Woman
Diet and Exercise. They are the inseparable twins that are seen and heard everywhere. You can't have any sort of effective weight loss or fat loss without incorporating both into your daily regimen.
This article is going to focus on the exercise aspect. We're not talking about power-lifting or marathon running, but exercise for the common man or woman.
My wife and I had joined a gym last September, but I had not stepped into the place until almost December. Why, you ask? I was afraid of the soreness and stiffness that accompanies the first several weeks of beginning an exercise regimen. Fear of pain kept me away.
Even my own disappointment at the condition of my body was not sufficient to overcome my fear of starting to exercise. After this past Thanksgiving, however, I weighed in at an all-time personal high. It was shocking, at least to the point that it inspired me to begin working out.
My fears ended up being unfounded. I faithfully take R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid (http://www.ralapure.com), which (among many other things) aids in circulation, and my muscles never really got sore at all.
I'm happy to have avoided the pain, but the whole experience got me thinking... it was fear that kept me away. What is keeping you away? For many people, fear may not be the issue. It may be that joining a gym is not convenient, too expensive, too difficult, or simply beyond their abilities.
I began to look around for recommendations of an exercise regimen that is easy enough for nearly everyone, and yet effective enough to facilitate a meaningful weight loss. Surprisingly, there is plenty of information to suggest that walking for a half an hour each day can do incredible things in a very short amount of time.
But... what if you can't string together 30 uninterrupted minutes to go for a walk? The answer is simple... buy a pedometer.
The website DiabetesInControl.com (http://www.diabetesincontrol.com) published a study that proves you can achieve significant health benefits from simply walking briskly for 10,000 steps each day.
So, what can walking do for you? More than you might imagine. Walking helps to control body weight, blood sugar and levels of cholesterol. Walking at a brisk pace can burn around 300 calories an hour.
The folks at Diabetes In Control assembled a group of diabetics to participate in the 10,000 Steps A Day program. Each one was given a pedometer and asked to work toward increasing their daily steps until they reached 10,000 per day. At the beginning, the average person was taking 3,100 steps per day, so they had to increase by a significant, but not impossible amount.
After just three months, they saw significant improvements in blood glucose, weight, body fat, cholesterol, and overall fitness. Here are some of the average results:
LDL Cholesterol went from 114 to 98
Blood Glucose went from 182 to 153
Total Cholesterol went from 191 to 159
HDL (the "good" cholesterol) went from 36 to 48
Triglycerides went from 220 to 159
Average weight loss: 4.1 pounds
The study concluded with the following comments: "Over 15 patients reduced their medications, 6 eliminated some of their medications. 3 patients were able to get off all of their medications. Most lowered their blood pressure and had more energy. The average weight loss was 4+ lbs and everyone agreed to make the program as part of their lifestyle." Wow, that's pretty amazing stuff!
If you can walk for about thirty minutes at a good pace, you'll find you are at or near the 10,000 step goal. If you can't afford thirty straight minutes, here are some ways to increase your steps each day.
1. Park at the back of the parking lot. You'll spend less time looking for the "right spot" and avoid door dings too!
2. Avoid the elevator and escalator. Stairs are usually an option, so take them instead.
3. Shop alphabetically. Don't loop through the aisles, checking things off your list as you go. Alphabetize your items and go from point to point.
4. Get a post office box near your home. Walk to retrieve your mail each day. Walk your outgoing mail to a community mailbox, post office or mailing center.
Most importantly, though, get yourself a pedometer and begin to keep track of your steps. See if you can't get yourself up to 10,000 steps a day. You'll appreciate the results if you do!

Nutrition Is Not Common Sense
I'd like to explain an important concept that most online trainers (even the "gurus") don't "get"... Have you ever heard that 'nutrition is common sense?' Have you ever thought about why the United States has an epidemic of overweight individuals and kids that are out of shape? Or that most people talk about how in their younger days they were able to do this and that. Yet these people are only 30 years old?
Most people think nutrition is common sense. But these people are completely wrong. You see, common sense isn't specialized knowledge, but just native good judgment. Many times common sense is when it comes to many things in life are learned behaviors from parents, teachers, mentors or coaches. We get at lot of this common knowledge thru what we see as well. Driving on the right of left side of the road is common sense in your country. You get this from what you see.
The REAL four biggest problems when it comes to nutrition and common sense is that:
1- You learn what to eat from T.V. How crazy is that? I don't think I've seen a good commercial about just eating right. It's always about diets, points, fad diets, crazy workout stuff or fast food. Many kids get plenty of T.V. They don't understand why sugar cereal isn't part of a complete breakfast.
2- You learn what you see at home. If you were a witness to a lot of healthy eating habits (fruits, vegetables, moderate portions) then you probably got a lot of your good eating habits from your parents or guardians.
3- You learn to finish everything that's put in front of you. Does it matter if your hunger was satisfied half-way thru the meal? Or have you been told it was rude not to eat everything. You start to learn that finishing what's in front of you is more important then if you are hungry or not.
4- You learn nutrition at school. Some schools have good programs. Many do not. The only exposure most school children receive is the food pyramid. And then it's off to lunch period where they are served fish sticks and a variety of other unhealthy items. Only a few schools have a very healthy lunch option. It's pretty rare. You learn more about ancient Egyptians then you do about how to put together a healthy meal and what the heck is a complex carb. This is an important concept -- so let me break it down and explain it in detail.
Most things we learn are common sense. It's common sense not to touch a hot stove. Why? Somebody told you or you tried it and your body responded by telling the pain receptors in your hand that it didn't like that. You learned the stove was hot and not fun to touch. Common sense. It didn't require any specialized knowledge. Then it hit me... Neither should nutrition. It doesn't require any specialized knowledge to eat correctly. But yet it's not common sense.
The reason most people get it wrong is because they were never taught! They received a lot of information from T.V. which was promoting diets and fast food and sugar cereals. Their parents didn't learn either so they passed that onto their children. There's a pressure to finish everything that is put in front of you (don't be wasteful) ignoring the absence of the hunger feeling.
The lack of sound nutrition in most schools. You learn how to read in school. You learn how to write. You learn how to solve math problems. You learn history and you learn different cultures. I'll bet you can guess what happened next. You never learn the definition of a complete meal. You start by learning that right now... A complete meal always includes a lean protein and a natural, complex carbohydrate.
The best meal of all for muscle-building and fat-burning purposes contains three things:
1. Lean protein (chicken, fish, egg whites, etc)
2. Starchy carb (potato, rice, etc)
3. Fibrous carb (broccoli, green beans, salad, etc)
And that, is the biggest benefit of having a complete meal and understanding just how simple it is to create meals with these three steps. So watch for your next issue of this mini-course, where I'll reveal the single most important question about how much cardio should you do. Yours For Continued Success

Short on the budget? Then consider Home Improvement Financing, it can help you with all the renovation or additions you need for your home. The terms for the loan are adjusted to serve different borrowers. Just like other loan companies, home improvement financing can be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis. Such loans can also be payable for 5 to 10 years, of course of you choose to pay the loan for a longer time, the interest will also be higher.
Why go for a Home Improvement Financing, if we can fix the repairs ourselves? Well, basically because not all repairs, specially renovation can be done by a non-experienced worker as yourself. There are situations to which you should call professionals and one of which is the financing for home improvement. This would also help your property increase its value, in case you plan to sell it in the future.
A warning for you though, such financing does not come cheap. But when can you save that much money in a given time? It is best to take it from a home financing company and have the luxury of staying in a home you always dreamed of, while you have the opportunity of paying the loan on flexible terms.
Try to find home improvement financing that would charge lower than the others in the market. You must first consider the equity or the value of your property, the higher equity of your house the better. You can find financing from banks, loan businesses, society cooperatives, and the like.
Though there are qualifications or requirements that a home
improvement financing have and you should have good financial issues like existing credit loans from other companies if not for home improvement, what is the status of the house mortgages, and then if you do have a regular monthly income. These issues should be clear for you to have that home improvement application from them. Those are just the main areas to consider when you go for any home improvement financing, but of course every company has its own rules and standards.
Take time to choose which home improvement financing you are to say "yes" to. Gather as much information as you can and compare all their prices and pick the one that offers an affordable rate. Don't just settle for a low rate always check the credibility and the legality of the lenders.
Take your time and find the right lender! There are many out there today, finding a good one is not as easy as you might think? Many offer the bait and switch. They paint a nice picture at first, then turn around with a completely different loan program that sound no where as good as the first one they mentioned? Take many notes when talking with a lender.
