Fun Is Definitely Self Improvement!

Hi Warriors,

Whilst working hard in real life and on the web learning about
Internet Marketing, going through emails and emails and stuff.

Sometimes, it's absolutely GREAT to stop all the work and
simply have fun. Because most of us (okay, maybe only some)
came on the internet and stayed because it was so much fun!

So, take some time off. Take a breather. Get your mind off
about conversion stats and sales copy writing for a while...

And just do what it is that you like.

Play some games that you used to (if you do).

Actually *chat* with people in social networking sites and
getting to know them for who they are (which should be done
in the first place, isn't it?)

For some laughter, maybe
Funny Website - Cracked.com ? American?s Only Humor & Video Site Since 1958

Entertainment, we know there's always YouTube.

Remember to head back to work when playtime's over though!

Wishing you great fun,
Asher

    I have to totally agree with you there Asher. It's all about striking the right balance between work and fun. Sometimes we get so stuck in our work that we forget that we are working to make the big bucks to have FUN!

      Yes, Asher you are right! I tend to forget to do something else once in a while!
      Thanks for the reminder!

          I find it helps sometimes to just step away from the computer for a bit and do something totally different.

          Jet skiing works quite nicely

    I just found another site for some mindless fun
    Great stuff that you can use if you want as well...

    Myspace Comments, Myspace Graphics, Myspace Icons, Myspace Codes for Myspace Layouts | MyNiceSpace.com

    It's filled with stuff like these:













    And tons more... but do take note that there are some rather
    extreme images there too.

    Enjoy!

    Yes, I agree. You know all that "all work and no play" thingy. Although I would prefer going out and catch some sun and maybe some basketball. It can get pretty refreshing.

    Here's a fun site, highly informative and just plain addictive:

      Yes, that's why I try to ride my bike every day, weather permitting. Also, in my case, dancing and listening to music does a great job. I have a lot of fun doing all this and it's great for releasing stress.

        Dagmar, have you ever tried to ride your bike through the pouring rain?? It's a blast!! You are missing out if you have not ridden through some very large puddles and gotten all muddy and soaked to the skin!! This spring, I went through a flooded pathway system and pedalled through water up to my knees while standing up on the bike!! Okay, maybe could have been swept away in a flood or sunk in a pothole, but it was so much fun I did it twice!!

          I second that It's like having a shower with your clothes on!

          I've done something similar a couple of times and it's really very
          refreshing when you just enjoy a pouring rain.

            God didn't give us this wonderful living experience to work and just make money.

            I like the anecdote about Benjamin Franklin as he talks about the the Declaration of Independence and how it guarantees the "pursuit of happiness". He goes on to say that it is ONLY a guarantee of the right to pursue happiness, one has to "catch" it for themself.

            If you can't define "fun", which is another gift in your living experience from God, you're not pursuing and catching ALL that life provides.

    I fully agree with you. All the time doing serious work and worrying about it will not relax your mind. You need to have some fun and divert your mind from the routine. Yes, playing the games you like and chatting with people are real relaxations to both body and mind. A good book can also give you the relaxation you need. You will find a lot of improvement in your work also if you take some time exclusively for yourself.

      Oh, You have noticed an excellent topic. I agree with you. When sometime I keep mind away from work and take break it energizes me.

    • Good point. Sometimes it's tough to decide whether something is a distraction or a bit of harmless fun. It's good to get the balance right. I guess the secret is to make sure you have time that is totally focused on getting things done and then allow yourelf a bit of time to relax. It's easy to forget to do that.

      Best regards

      Robert

    wow... nice videos....
    I agreed with you. Entertainment is a vital part of life. But sometimes its quite difficult for me to find 'fun'.
