Viewed 32 times. Resolutions Resolutions, What do you think of when you think of this word? Resolve, what are you resolving to do this year? What changes are you determined to finally make a part of your life during 2007? How do you know that you will stick with your resolutions and succeed at making the necessary changes? Evergreen, an Evergreen tree is always green. It is a symbol of that which lives forever and which is always constant. In order to succeed at making your resolutions a success, you must be like the evergreen tree and stay constant and focused. Solutions, what solutions will you develop for when you are having difficulties sticking to your goals and resolutions? These must be clear, focused and specific if you are going to experience success. Obedient, it is very important that you resolve to be obedient to yourself, and to your principles and values in order to obtain success with your resolutions. Going against what you know to be true will only hurt you in the long run. Love, do you truly love what you are resolving to do or those whose lives you are seeking to change? If not, you will struggle with your resolutions, for love is the base of all success. Unbreakable, are your resolutions truly solid and are you truly committed to seeing that you are successfully and that you keep them no matter what? If not, what will it take for you to change this? Time, have you established a time frame by which each of your resolutions will be completed? Simply saying, I will do this sometime during 2007 is not sufficient. All goals and resolutions must have a specific deadline by which they will be completed. Interest, do you have a true desire and interest in your resolutions? Or are you setting them in order to please someone else? Your resolutions must be truly yours and you must truly be interested in succeeding or you will fail. Obsessed, For many of your resolutions this is vital to your success. Weight loss is a great example of a goal with which you must be obsessed in order to experience success. Nailed, just like a nail, which firmly and securely attaches a picture to a wall, your resolutions must be firmly and securely attached to you. You must be 100% committed and focused to your success. You must also make them a vital part of your life. Success, will be yours if you follow the rules above and if you have made your resolutions specific and focused enough and if your desire is strong enough. Have a great 2007 and much success with your resolutions!

Would you like to pay a special tribute to your mother this upcoming mother’s day but you lack the words to do so or you simply would like something different to say to her or to write in a card. Then I invite you to consider the following: Maternal, although this word is normally used to describe mothers in the context of their instincts and ability to natural and unconditionally love their children, it can also describe the tenderness of a mother or of any woman who is close to you. Optimistic, have you ever noticed that mothers are seldom ever negative when it comes to their children. Mothers always expect and see the best in their children. True, Mothers are true to their children. They never lie to them. They encourage truth. Highest- for children the mother is the person to whom they look up to as the highest authority in their lives. Enduring, a mother’s love is enduring and eternal. It never ends. Revered, mothers are honored and revered by nearly everyone in society. Most people consider their mother to be either a hero or at least someone to whom they can look to for advice, wisdom and courage.

Direct Objects A Helpful Guide I A positive sentence with one verb 1. Decide what the direct object is. 2. Is it an object and if so is the object masculine, feminine or plural? 3. Is it referring to a person? 4. Remember things = le, la or les 5. Remember people = me, m’, te, t’, nous or vous 6. Replace the direct object in the sentence with the appropriate article if a thing and if a person see below. Example: Yasmine mange les pommes. Yasmine les mange. Example: My mother loves me. Ma mère m’aime. Please note that in French there is no way to express the first example using people. Also take note of the verbs in French in the book, which use a direct object whereas they use an indirect object in English. Some examples: Écouter Attendre Regarder II A negative sentence with one verb Follow the same instructions as above but remember to put the direct object article in front of the verb. Examples: Yasmine ne mange pas les pommes. Yasmine ne les mange pas. Ma mère ne m’aime pas. III A positive sentence with two verbs Examples: Les enfants vont chanter une chanson. Les enfants vont la chanter. Les étudiants vont nous aimer. IV To make commands with a direct object 1. Remember that when you do a command you never use the pronoun. 2. If the command is positive you put the direct object article after the verb 3. If the command is negative you put the direct object article in front of the verb. 4. Me and Te change to moi and toi when they follow the command. V A positive command Example: Regardez la télévision Regardez-la Écoutez le professeur Le professeur dit: écoutez-moi VI A negative command Example: Ne regardez pas la télévision Ne la regardez pas. N’écoutez pas le professeur. Ne m’écoutez pas. AnnaLaura Brown is a successful team leader in an international marketing company.
