The Simple Things

-

Life can get so complicated and busy.

 I think it’s important to pause and reflect on the simple things. The simple things help me put my life in perspective, focus on what truly matters, and to demonstrate true gratitude.


So, what simple things do I mean?


A hot cup of tea and a stack of books I look forward to reading



Books


Really good dark chocolate


Warm fuzzy socks



fuzzy socks


Waking up with a smile on my face when I remember it’s my day off work


Listening to my 11-year-old son sing along to the songs on K-Love


Listening to my 17-year-old daughter share her newest mission minded idea


Enjoying a delicious meal from Chipotle Mexican Grill (my favorite!)

Stopping to think about the magnificence around me



The calm, quiet of morning


Coffee with a good friend



Coffee


Yes, the simple things are worth pausing to embrace. Don’t let the noise of the world drown out the joy of everyday moments.


Sometimes, these desires are wrapped up in the simple moments of every day life.


What are your simple things, your simple moments? Take time today to to embrace them.

Everyone knows that progress moves civilization forward, and advertising is the engine of progress. And only the methods of influence of the advertisement itself remain unclear. Sometimes advertisers are wasting huge amounts of money, and cheap and trivial ways work best. This allows you to advertise "from all fronts" using a variety of methods. For example, chains of budget and luxury stores, as a rule, remind customers of themselves by releasing plastic bags with a logo - "T-shirt" bags. The move is truly a win-win, since this technique creates a stable logical association for the client: “package - logo - store view - image of shelves with goods”. Therefore, branded packages are a very good business, cheap to manufacture and easy to sell, but with a high "traffic conversion": buyers tend to integrate, noticing the familiar symbols of the packages, and the labels on the packages are not so important (however, the more thoughtful they are, the better fo
