It does not envy, ... it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Jealousy is when you react negatively towards the possibility of losing what you have to someone else. Unlike envy, it usually involves three people, rather than just two: you, the person who has what you want, and the person who threatens to take it away.[1] It's an unhealthy habit that can make any kind of relationship crumble; if you're a jealous person, you've probably already seen how much damage it can do. But at the core of jealousy are some fears and expectations that are hard to shake, unless you make a conscious effort to cast them away.

Though the modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes that of a horse differing only in the horn on its forehead, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hooves—these distinguish it from a horse.[1] With the 2008 birth of a real-life "unicorn" in Italy--a deer with a single horn growing out of its head[2]--make a card to celebrate!

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Record-Label http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Record-Label A record label is basically a brand name connecting musicians to customers. Ideally, the label establishes a good enough reputation that when people see an artist or band signed by that particular label, they know it's going to be something they'll enjoy, and they buy the product without a second thought (and never regret it). If you want to start an independent record label, however, having good taste in music is not enough; you need to be a good businessperson.

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Spin-Bad-News http://www.wikihow.com/Spin-Bad-News "I wonder what kind of spin they can put on that!" Any News Broadcast You hear about this all the time in the media, mostly relating to news coming out of some political venue. They are talking about how someone can present negative information in a way that makes it sound like it's a good thing. It's not really lying, it's not "disinformation" but it's not a straight-forward presentation either. In many ways, it's the essence of politics. The same technique is often used by corporations to present less than favorable financial news. Very often, it isn't possible to know when this is happening because the people doing it are very, very good at it. If it's not done properly, however, it's obvious and transparent, and nothing good will come of it. Here are some steps that will help you get an idea of how to use this technique should you find yourself in a position that requires it.

Perhaps they're not the most motivated or accomplished people you've met, but they always seem content. If you're on the opposite end of the spectrum--always doing, never satisfied--here's how to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride that is your life. Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:00:00 GMT http://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-Scarring http://www.wikihow.com/Prevent-Scarring If you've sustained an injury, large or small, you may end up with a scar. It's a natural and healthy outcome in the process of wound healing. The collagen in the deeper layers of your skin becomes exposed and rises to the surface to "close" the wound and in the process, forms a scar. However, that's not to say that we can't influence the way that scar tissue will mature, and in many ways appear, during the process. Here's how to minimize your scar. Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:00:00 GMT
