http://www.FreeRice.com - A Unique website where you can help yourself and help those most in need in the world simultaneously!
Free Rice is a
beautiful concept where you can build your vocabulary while earning grains of rice for donation by the United Nations to feed the hungry. For each word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the U.N. to feed those most in need.
What a
great creation. And so in the spirit of this season of Joy and Giving!
So, head on over to Free Rice and get to playing so
you can feed some people!
This fun and joyful game will help you too! Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:
- Formulate your ideas better
- Write better papers, emails and business letters
- Speak more precisely and persuasively
- Comprehend more of what you read
- Read faster because you comprehend better
- Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
- Score higher on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
- Perform better at job interviews and conferences
- Sell yourself, your services, and your products better
- Be more effective and successful at your job
After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice an
odd phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will
begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing. You will
feel yourself using and knowing more words.
How does the FreeRice vocabulary Program work?
FreeRice has a custom database containing thousands of words at
varying degrees of difficulty. There are words appropriate for people
just learning English and words that will challenge the most scholarly
professors. In between are thousands of words for students, business
people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers, retired people… everyone!
FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It
starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then,
based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You
then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you
get a word wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three words
in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio is
best for keeping you at the “outer fringe” of your vocabulary, where
learning can take place.
There are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48.
So click on the FREE RICE and feed the world while you improve yourself! What a win-win!
I'm looking forward to the next time I
play!
Tidbits of JOY for you this Holiday Season ....
How is it possible to know joy? It comes when you simply
allow it. Joy requires no special conditions. You can experience joy in the
smallest of moments as well as in the most magnificent situations. Even in times
of sadness and loss, there is room for joy. That joy, melancholy as it may be,
comes from the realization that your sadness means you sincerely care. See joy
as something you give rather than something that has to be created for you.
Understand that joy is a choice you can make at any time, and you will
experience it in abundance. Put joy into what you do, and you will do it better.
Give joy to your relationships, and they will grow strong. Joy will come when
you let it. Let joy flow freely through the moments of your life, and the rich
value it gives will always be yours.
~ (Ralph Marston) - www.greatday.com
Relax into your natural Well-being. All is
well. Really it is! The essence of all that you appreciate is constantly flowing
into your reality. As you find more things to appreciate, your state of
appreciation opens more avenues to more to feel appreciation for. As you think
you vibrate. As you vibrate you attract.

Teachings In Brief”) www.abraham-hicks.com
