    Good Reputation vs Character Blog!

    15 November 2011

    Utilitarianism is an ethical theory holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes the overall “happiness”, by whatever means necessary. It is thus a form of consequentialism, meaning that the moral worth of an action is determined only by its resulting outcome, and that one can only weigh the morality of an action after knowing all its consequences.

    Utilitarianism can be characterized as a quantitative and reductionist approach to ethics. It is a type of naturalism. It can be contrasted with deontological ethics (which do not regard the consequences of an act as a determinant of its moral worth), pragmatic ethics, virtue ethics (which focuses on character) and deontological varieties of libertarianism, as well as with ethical egoism and other varieties of consequentialism. The distinction between act and rule utilitarianism is therefore based on a difference about the proper object of consequential calculation specific to a case or generalized to rules. Never to kill another human being may seem to be a good rule, but it could make self-defense against malevolent aggressors very difficult.

    It takes character to achieve the greater good for the greater number of people. While these are broad ranging concepts for our purposes we will try to focus on the daily greater good as it applies to daily life. There is a saying that your reputation is what others think of you and your character is who you really are. Based on this statement it is probably safe to say that leaders are generally not too concerned with reputation and followers will generally never build much character this is because difficult choices require the individual making the choice to be able to make it and still move on even if it ended up being the wrong choice.

    To chart a new course and stay that course is difficult to do but if one has vision and a greater purpose then it is truly the right course of action for you. Life is full of choices and at times people find themselves in very complex situations and leaving not much room for any good choices, yet we still must chose and this is where character comes in. If one is afraid of being judged by others then you make choices based on how others will perceive you and if you are acting from a deeper place that you know is the tough choice to make for a greater good then you are making the character building choice and while this might lead to judgment and ridicule; chances are you will affect the world around you. Much more than those who would rather watch others do things and say from the side lines and tell you I told you so! These sideliners have great reputations for never doing anything to affect the world that they live in but they have plenty to say about it.

    Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
    Abraham Lincoln

    Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

  • Welcome to our Perfect Blog!

    Welcome to our Perfect Blog!

    08 November 2011
    Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness. The term “perfection” is actually used to designate a range of diverse, if often kindred, concepts. These concepts have historically been addressed in a number of discrete disciplines, notably mathematics, physics, chemistry, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, and theology. The form of the word long fluctuated in various languages. The English language had the alternates, “perfection” and the Biblical “perfectness.”

    The word “perfection” derives from the Latin “perfectio”, and “perfect” from “perfectus.” These expressions in turn come from “perficio” – “to finish”, “to bring to an end.” “Perfectio” thus literally means “a finishing”, and “perfect” – “finished”, much as in grammatical parlance (“perfect”).

    For our blog, however, we are attempting to show how in life like in SEO there is no perfection or completion as to have perfection apply to life or SEO that would mean that the world stopped at that particular point of perfection and thus there would no longer be growth. Anything that is constantly evolving, for example humans, it would very difficult to call perfect. Then it would complete it’s cycle and no longer evolve thus like mathematics, physics, chemistry, ethics or aesthetics. It is essential to prove these disciplines through trial and error in order to achieve a perfect result with the completion of the experimentation.

    Life is always constantly changing and evolving, we can make parallels to historical events, for example,the fall of the Roman empire probably was not a very happy time for a lot of people in that day, however, they got through it and it was by hardship and trial and error and time which eventually fixed all that was broken. Today, if you were to look at what is going on in Greece right now, which is pretty much economic disaster, however Greece will get through it. It might take many years of hard work and trial and error but with the right leaders in place with a vision for the future of Greece they will be better that before.

    The same can be said for life in general, no one is perfect, well at least I am not and would not want to be since that would probably mean that I was dead. To be alive is to be growing and evolving and this can be messy at times. This weekend while at the gym there was a news story which discussed the terrible economic follie which hit so many Canadians with the fallout of the mortgage backed securities, and the announcer further went on to say that so many Canadians who did everything right got hurt and that those reckless spenders benefited from the fallout. Perhaps, if we didn’t live in a global economy, we could continue to operate like our parents did 40 years ago but we do and life is changing and we are learning as we go. It would be misguided for us to try to apply old rules to a new world economy.

    It is only through trial and error that we can become better and get it, but life is constantly growing and evolving and so we are constantly becoming better for today’s situation but not as good as we will be for tomorrow’s. For those of us who sit in our perfect homes with our perfect cars in the drive way and our perfect careers well good for you and getting there but remember sometimes changes comes out of nowhere and upsets the perfect balance that we have worked so hard to achieve but is doesn’t have to be hard if you look at it as an opportunity to become better. Why do we have famous deceased artists? Well chances are they won’t be producing anymore art for the world and so what ever they gave us while they were alive is perfectly complete since that is all we will ever have from them. The goal is not to be prefect it is simply to grow!

    Changing of the Guard Blog!

    25 October 2011

    The changing of the guard ceremony conducted in Canada is performed daily during the summer months at Rideau Hall and Parliament Hill in Ottawa by the combined Ceremonial Unit made up of the two Canadian regiments of Foot Guards. There is also a ceremonial Changing of the Guard ceremony during the summer at the Citadelle of Quebec by members of the Royal 22nd Régiment. While, we here at Nexonta Technologies Inc are like Switzerland when it comes to politics (It’s good for business). We feel that it is important to acknowledge what is happening in the world around us.

    For many years,Corporations have been operating without accountability to the little guy and thus their growth has hurt the local economic community, while we don’t believe that it is the corporation’s sole responsibility to provide for everyone’s financial and employment needs. It is hard for the independant business to exist when big corporations under price goods and services offered by smaller retailers and effectively puts them out of business. It also hurts the community at large if the large corporations don’t put that money back into the community it came from.

    These types of situations are difficult for communities and small individuals to rebound from. If big business is going to put small businesses out of business then how are these small businesses going to feed their families? And how is the revenue from these small businesses going to make it’s way back into the communities it was taken from by larger corporations? People in local communities depend on small and medium sized businesses to provide jobs and revenue for the community and so if large corporations are just turning a profit and not reinvesting back into the community then this is a recipe for long term financial hardships. This is why many families are turning to multi level marketing and taking their finances into their own hands. Check out www.visalus.com

    The problem is not that Corporations don’t provide goods and services at great prices, it is just if there are no small businesses able to provide a decent living to individuals in their communities then how will these people be able to feed their families and buy the very goods that the Corporations are offering. Profitability is important for any business, small or large, however, if all we have are large Corporations making all of the money and not creating new industries and jobs for the masses then you have a situation where the top 1% of society control 60% of the money and the rest of the people are left to fend for themselves. It is important that large companies contribute to building society and not just taking as this is an important part of the equation and of grave concern to all of us. Food, Shelter and clothing are basic human needs not Bentley’sm those are Greeds Trophy’s, however, if anyone is giving away Bentley’s anytime soon, I will take a chocolate brown one!

  • Welcome to our Digging Deep Blog!

    Welcome to our Digging Deep Blog!

    13 October 2011
    This blog is inspired by Ryan Blair from Visalus Sciences, Thanks Ryan for all you do. The idea of digging deep is a metaphor of going beyond the surface of our day to day life and having the courage ( It ain’t courage if you ain’t scared–Bounce) to discover our true purpose in this life. I have never met someone who faces their responsibilities in life head on and is unhappy or confused, perhaps stressed or a bit worse for wear but generally these people are growing and somewhat content in their lives.

    Nothing is random whether you choose the blue pill or the green one, it doesn’t matter, what matters is that you make a choice and follow through on that choice. Life is all about follow through and seeing it to the end. The person who starts things and never finishes them can never grow, as it is only when we finish a chapter in a book that we can move on to the next chapter or we lose the message of the author. Now these choices are difficult and even more so if you have people who are followers giving you advice but once you separate from the nay sayers and trust what is inside of you then you are free to become who you are truly suppose to be, in fact without taking this journey most of us will miss the whole point to life.

    Keep in mind not to judge others as those who hate or critize are simple cowards who are afraid of stepping out into life and giving their all at something that they believe in and making it work and so to see you doing it reflects negatively on them and thus they hate. There are no guarantees in life so it is what you do that will ultimately determine your destiny.

    In a changing economy,like the world is currently going through the fundamentals are still the same, people still need to eat, they still need somewhere to live, they still need love (as evidenced by all of the online dating sites out there but that is entirely another blog) so besides a few greedy bankers that karma will catch up with, I think it’s time that people start digging deep and taking more responsibility for their lives and the lives of their children and go out there and make things happen. The Visalus story is an amazing one and to see all of these people digging deep and changing their lives while helping others is truly amazing and inspiring.

    I saw the effects of this whole thing first hand to someone near and dear to me and read her story which was truly inspirational and to see pure drive and determination and a will to succeed with countless ups and downs along the way, well truly inspiring almost like seeing a Rocky movie! The business model is pure and the opportunity is real, I have seen it and all I can say is thank you Ryan Blair for giving so many an out to the death cycle. Find something to believe in which is real and good. Find your why and your how and dig deep and transform your life and the lives of those you love.

    I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.–Henry David Thoreau

    The Street vs University
    Hello and welcome to our steet smart blog, for a great many years it has been common practice for parents to push their children to do well in school starting from kindergarten. In fact the pressure is so strong today that many children are encouraged from before kindergarten to start activities which jump start their academic and motor skills so that once in school these children can perform at optimal level. Let me start off by saying that I do not have any children of my own and so I am simply writing this blog as an observer of the parent child dynamic that I see and read about from time to time.

    I often hear people with children say “Wow where have the years gone?” “I remember when little Becky was just getting her first tooth and taking her first steps. It seem like only yesterday” I often wonder to myself are parents enjoying their children and the whole experience of parenting or are they just pushing their kids too hard to one day be able to say that their son or daughter has become a huge success. I think the whole point of having children is because you would like to start a family and watch your offspring grow and be happy and experience life as it happens, however ,you will see 1000 kids in hockey each year with tremendous pressure to perform at NHL levels even though that child is only 10 years old and for some of these children it is like that until they graduate high school.

    I suppose there is nothing wrong with wanting your children to be successful, however, if everyone is on the same path to success then who is going to fill all of the other important rolls in society I mean from my little knowledge of sports I think that there are only about 50 to 60 NHL teams and each team has 1 team captain and you literally have thousands of people with there children in competitive sports at an early age all trying to be number one at a sport where there are very few positions available and so I would think that it is important that while encouraging your child to play competitive sports it would also be important to find out what that child is also interested in so that once they decide to retire from team captain of their chosen team they can finally do what it is they want to do with their lives.

    The people in our society who take the road less travelled are the ones who challenge the status quo and find out who they really are in relation to society and then adjust their ambitions according to where they feel most comfortable existing. The existentialist has done their home work and figured what works for them and are able to make smart compromises in regards to their life choices. You have to learn how the world works before you can take it over. While it is really important to motivate children and encourage them to succeed it is also important to help them find their true selves, who they want to be as opposed to who their parents want them to be, I think this sort of approach to parenting with ultimately help develop more well adjusted children. I mean someone once told me “Not everyone wants to be CEO” and I couldn’t believe it at the time but it was what was in me, however, for a lot of children I think given the chance to develop in their own way and to be encouraged to know themselves from an eary age they will probably have a better chance of claiming success at somthing that they are passionate about as opposed to just what their parents want for them.

    It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard

    It is a proven fact that when we eat better and take care of our bodies nutritionally, we feel better about ourselves and have more energy and having more energy we feel like becoming more active which makes us want to exercise and ultimately makes us want to make better choices when it comes to eating. www.dietgroupies.com is a website aimed at providing timely tips and health information available for it’s users to learn how to make better healthier choices when it comes to food exercise and supplements. “Baby steps to change”
    Your metabolism is related to the number of calories you burn in order to maintain your body weight. Whether you’re sleeping, sitting, riding in a car or running, your body is constantly burning calories in order to keep you going. Obviously, some people have higher metabolism than others due to genetic factors. But are there certain types of vitamins that can boost your metabolism?

    The key to healthy weight loss is eating right and exercise. In fact, it is a good bet that most people know pretty well what is best, thus, creating an all natural weight loss plan. One reasonable approach for losing weight naturally is to stick to a diet that is high in complex carbohydrates, high in fiber, moderate in protein, and low in fat.
    A word of caution is needed here. Teenagers and children should never be on a low calorie diet. When you are still growing, you need the full range of nutrients for your body. Pregnant women and those who are not good health should also avoid it.

    If you are considering a low calorie diet, especially one that requires less than 1000 calories per day, you should consult your doctor before you start. Because this diet does require so few calories, you will need to monitor every single calorie that you take for nutritional value. If that calorie is not worth the nutritional needs you have, it can’t be consumed. For those that have the ability and doctor approval, this diet plan can be an ideal choice.

    A low calorie diet is one that requires a person to consume 1500 to 1800 calories per day. Compare this with the normal 2000 to 2400 calories that the average person consumes
    .
    A very low calorie diet is much different. This is a very restricting diet for those that are severely obese. It requires that a person only consume a mere 800 calories or less per day. This is very limiting to the person, obviously.

    Do you need to lose some weight or do you just want to control your diet so that you are getting a balanced diet? Whatever the reason, you can get many of your answers from our website which aims to provide the best possible information when it comes to current health and nutritional information.

    It is best to consult your doctor before you start in order to know the potential health risks that you may face. Each person is different and no one can advise you better than your personal physician.

    Connecting the Dots!

    06 October 2011

    In light of the passing of Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple Computer I found it only fitting to dedicate our next blog to his monumental contribution to our world. In his address to Stanford University back in 2005 Steve Jobs spoke about the most pivitol points in his life and how he followed his heart and lived a life challenging the status quo. Steve Jobs didn’t only give us Apple Computer, ipods, iphones, and ipads these are merely technological gadgets but he gave us a means in which to create a better frame work for the future and connect people from all corners of the world. The impact of of his company’s contributions have changed the way we communicate and do business forever. Obviously a visionary Steve taught us to look outside the box as to what can be as opposed to what is.

    While on the treadmill this morning listening to the many praises being given to Mr Jobs for his boundless determination and leadership the question arised as to wether or not there would be a leader of his magnitude to carry on his vision and technological advancement of society and this made me wonder, I think that he has given us enough to work with, clearly having Apple surpass Exxon Mobil as the worlds largest company back in July Indicates that this technology has made it to many individuals homes and businesses. It is up to us as a society to take what has been given to us by this innovative visionary and start applying the technology developed by his company so that we can each try to make it a better world. I think this is the best way to honor Steve’s contributions.

    Let’s not look for the next Steve Jobs, let’s follow his example and learn from the exemplary way that he conducted his personal life and his professional life and follow our hearts in order to help each other create a better future for our children. Not only did Steve Jobs give us the tools to create new industries and platforms to develop economically but he also provided a road map which is the way he lived his life for us to harness the power and inovation within all of us to trust our hearts and our imaginations and live a life without compromise. If one man can make such a huge contribution and touch so many people’s lives with his vision and technology we can all do our little part and contribute to our world in our own little way. I think this is the best way to honor a man who gave us so much. Time is the most valuable commodity, use it wisely.

  • Welcome to our Integrity Blog!

    Welcome to our Integrity Blog!

    04 October 2011

    Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one’s actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy, in that it regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.

    The word “integrity” stems from the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete).In this context, integrity is the inner sense of “wholeness” deriving from qualities such as honesty and consistency of character. As such, one may judge that others “have integrity” to the extent that they act according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.
    A value system’s abstraction depth and range of applicable interaction may also function as significant factors in identifying integrity due to their congruence or lack of congruence with observation. A value system may evolve over time while retaining integrity if those who espouse the values account for and resolve inconsistencies. It is impossible to build a structure on a foundation with even the smallest crack in it as this crack will eventually cause the structure to shift it’s foundation it is built on and eventually colapse the structure. This can be said for many facets in life.

    While we are not perfect it is important that we attempt to be honest with ourselves and others as much as possible because the truth always comes out in the end with enough time. In fact it can be said philosophically that life is about discovering the truth since nothing that is built on a foundation of lies or deception will ever stand the test of time.
    Much like the Google algorithm which has evolved over time to be a truth finder. Google wants to provide the best and most accurate information to it’s users and also to make sure that it’s users can find exactly what they are looking for on the internet and when companies use deceptive practices to position their companies on the first page and offer services which do not benefit the user it is only a matter of time before the algorithm identifies the culprit and takes the appropriate action.

    The same can be said for life, a lie or untruth can only survive for so long, in a world striving for truth and justice. In order for those of us who value our time, which is a scarce commodity we realize that it is only possible to live in truth when conducting our professional affairs or personal affairs, untruth can only lead to eventual disaster.

    The slow man with integrity will ultimately catch the swift one who has none. – Unkown A person is not given integrity. It results from the relentless pursuit of honesty at all times.

    Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) British author.

    “the medium is the message” was written by Herbert Marshall McLuhan, (July 21, 1911 – December 31, 1980) was a Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholar, a professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist. McLuhan’s work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory, as well as having practical applications in the advertising and television industries. “To thine own self be true” by “true” William Shakespeare means “loyal to your own best interests.” Take care of yourself first, he counsels, and that way you’ll be in a position to take care of others. In her New television show on OWN network “Master Class Oprah incourages her viewers to know themselves.

    There are so many hints in life that give us directions of how our life should be lived and that with a bit of self examination we can find the best life for us and our loved ones. The internet is full of great information that anyone can have access to at anytime and since information is power we should empower ourselves and become the best that we can be in the life that we choose to live. Beauty fades and it is only what’s on the inside that truly matters this is where your real power lies and undeveloped then you are at the mercy of a very shallow existence. Dig deep for it is only through self introspection that we get a glimpse of our true selves and what our purpose here in this life is suppose to be.

  • Getting Ready For Fall and Moving Up

    Getting Ready For Fall and Moving Up

    31 August 2011

    September is an incredible month. As the summer vacation ends, families come back from holidays, whether abroad or cottage-country, business owners resume full operations, and youth start preparing for the beginning of school. September smells fresh, looks new, and feels refreshed. Everyone is about to begin a year full of ups and downs, twists and turns, all leading to the next summer.

    The excitement of new beginnings is sometimes unexplainable – the twinkle in kids’ eyes, the eagerness of entrepreneurs – but nonetheless motivating and inspiring. Just as students move up a grade level, business owners must move on to the next level – staying on the same track is not an option, otherwise the business suffers. As people’s mentality changes over the summer, the way a business markets itself must change as well. The most recent, and most effective, technique in the on-line marketing field is the use of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which specifically targets people’s searches on the internet to achieve better results on search engines. Using tag keywords in websites’ page titles and descriptions as well as content improves visibility on Google search and, therefore, increases traffic to a site.

    Changing a marketing approach is much like leaves transforming color – the beginning stage of implementing SEO requires research and site analysis, which takes time and an eye for detail. As soon as keywords are selected, the process is fairly quick and results in a great change to the site’s success. From green to all the various reds and oranges, leaves changing color in the fall is a sign for growth and movement. After an entire summer of just being, the fall is a season of doing – putting all thoughts regarding the growth of a business, or education, into action.

    We wish luck and success to all the businesses and entrepreneurs out there with their operations and on-line marketing strategies!
