Posted by Jay as Business Features, Featured Articles

If you still have the tons of books known as encyclopedia, you must have been buried deep into those piles of books for too long to know about the new “pedia” sensation. Yes, Virginia, the encyclopedia is ancient history. To be part of modern history, you got to know how to use another “pedia” – Wikipedia. It’s now considered as the most prized of status symbols -- your very own page on Wikipedia, the world’s largest online encyclopedia. Unlike popular networking sites MySpace and Facebook, Wikipedia doesn’t allow people to post profiles of themselves. Instead, Wikipedia entries are earned. “If someone is notable ...

Oct 19 2007

Posted by Jay as Business Features, Featured Articles

The great inventor Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Since there are many people perspiring these days (due to global warming perhaps) without really doing anything good actually since they lack inspiration, then the world must be full of geniuses! But I’m quite sure that’s not what Edison meant when he made that quote. However, it seems many people worldwide are spending their mortal lives without inspiration to guide them to the pursuit of the ideal life. According to a recent poll conducted by Maritz Research, only 10 percent of American workers ...

The milkmaid... No, this is not another edition in the series of Halloween excitement here at Froodee. However, this article can be scary if you find yourself counting the last few pennies in your pocket. It was way back in elementary when I first heard her story. My uncle had given me a collection of Aesop's Fables and one of the stories that struck me was the tale of "The Milkmaid and Her Pail." Of course, back then, I was more fascinated with the illustrations rather than the story itself. If you haven't read the story, drop by ...

An assignment recently got me interested in something called the Law of Reciprocity. No—this is not Physics class or any other Science-related course. The Law of Reciprocity actually goes by many names. Others call it an emotional bank account. One of my favorite writers of all time, Paulo Coelho, describes it as the favor bank. But what exactly is this Law of Reciprocity, you ask? This law goes far back as early as kindergarten for most people. It’s the “I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine” strategy (How crafty kids can be…!). And for others, it transcends into ...

Posted by Brix as Business Features, Business and Money

Are you wealthy? The wikipedia on 'wealth' describes it as follows: Wealth usually refers to money and property. It is the abundance of objects of value and also the state of having accumulated these objects. The use of the word itself assumes some socially-accepted means of identifying objects, land, or money as "belonging to" someone, i.e. a broadly accepted notion of property and a means of protection of that property that can be invoked with minimal (or, ideally, no) effort and expense on the part of the owner. Let's include the time, work and money factors into wealth. Assume that you can ...

How To Save Money When Grocery Shopping

May 09 2007

Posted by J. Angelo as Business Features, Business and Money, Featured Articles

Shopping for groceries is one of the things my family looks forward to every weekend. We usually go grocery shopping at one of those really big supermarkets that have everything from sugar to televisions to sofa sets. Aside from being able to go out for a change, the kids get to experience firsthand how it feels to manage a household. Sure, they're just pre-school aged. But grown-up things like grocery shopping can fascinate them. Besides, they enjoy looking at the produce, especially the seafoods section (the squid, fishies and shrimp) and the fruits section. Grocery shopping is also one of those times ...
