Email Etiquette

 

This is one thing that everybody should know.

BCC for Privacy! 

Correct Way to Send Out Group Emails

Quote from link above: “Simply put yourself in the To field and everyone else in the BCC field.  That way both “Reply” and “Reply All” will only come back to you and recipients can’t see each other’s email addresses.”

See nice screenshot there as well.

Email Etiquette (Netiquette) 

From link above: “Use the BCC field when sending bulk email. If you're sending email to a whole list of people, put their email addresses in the BCC field. That way, the privacy of the recipient is respected, and spammers cannot harvest the email addresses for their dastardly purposes. “

12 tips for better e-mail etiquette “Use the blind copy and courtesy copy appropriately. Don't use BCC to keep others from seeing who you copied; it shows confidence when you directly CC anyone receiving a copy. Do use BCC, however, when sending to a large distribution list, so recipients won't have to see a huge list of names. Be cautious with your use of CC; overuse simply clutters inboxes. Copy only people who are directly involved.”

Remove All Email Addresses When You Forward a Message

Tony Robbins quotes

Most people aren't really happy, but they aren't unhappy enough to do any thing about it. That's a dangerous place to be.~ Tony Robbins

"There's a powerful driving force inside every human being that once unleashed can make a vision, dream or desire a reality." - Tony Robbins

 

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more." - Tony Robbins

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. Tony Robbins

HAPPINESS AS A ROLE VS. TRUE HAPPINESS

 

Following is from the book of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

 

HAPPINESS AS A ROLE VS. TRUE HAPPINESS

“How are you?” “Just great. Couldn’t be better.” True or false?

In many cases, happiness is a role people play, and behind the

smiling façade, there is a great deal of pain. Depression,

breakdowns, and overreactions are common when unhappiness is

covered up behind a smiling exterior and brilliant white teeth,

when there is denial, sometimes even to one’s self, that there is

much unhappiness.

“Just fine” is a role the ego plays more commonly in America

than in certain other countries where being and looking miserable

is almost the norm and therefore more socially acceptable. It is

probably an exaggeration, but I am told that in the capital of one

Nordic country you run the risk of being arrested for drunken

behavior if you smile at strangers in the street.

If there is unhappiness in you, first you need to acknowledge

that it is there. But don’t say, “I’m unhappy.” Unhappiness has

nothing to do with who you are. Say: “There is unhappiness in

me.” Then investigate it. A situation you find yourself in may have

something to do with it. Action may be required to change the

situation or remove yourself from it. If there is nothing you can do,

face what is and say, “Well, right now, this is how it is. I can either

accept it, or make myself miserable.” The primary cause of

unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it. Be

aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the

situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is. There is

the situation or the fact, and here are my thoughts about it. Instead

of making up stories, stay with the facts. For example, “I am

ruined” is a story. It limits you and prevents you from taking

effective action. “I have fifty cents left in my bank account” is a

fact, Facing facts is always empowering. Be aware that what you

think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the

link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being

your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.

Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because

seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive,

but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is

rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your

natural state of well-being and inner peace, the source of true

happiness.

Kiss Anyone, Just Not the Gunner’s Daughter

“A kiss is just a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one.” – Unknown

Kissing is a very ancient and widely spread means of greeting and showing affection. Kissing conjures up sweet images of romantic embraces or familial love.

One imagines kissing a loved one, a child, a family member. Yet apparently, according to these often forgotten, helpful phrases, kissing a book, some dust, or even the foot of a small woodland creature can have a much deeper meaning.

For example, a ‘kiss-behind-the-garden-gate’ is a country name for a pansy.

If you ‘kiss the place to make it well,’ you are referring to the old custom of sucking the poison out of a wound.

If you are ‘kissing the dust,’ you are completely overwhelmed or humiliated.

While ‘kissing hands’ seems fairly straight forward, it harkens back to the tradition of kissing the hand of a sovereign or a saint’s statue. If the statue was placed too high to kiss directly, people would kiss their own hands and wave it in towards the saint.

On a less romantic note, ‘kissing the gunner’s daughter’ meant being flogged aboard a ship. Soldiers who were to be flogged were tied to the cannon’s breech. While there is perhaps less flogging going on these days, the phrase can still refer to a stiff punishment.

And finally, if you ‘kiss a hare’s foot’ then you are late. You have missed your appointment and the hare hopped by, leaving its footprint for you to see.

While one should perhaps steer away from getting flogged, these other colloquialisms might just come in handy.
