Google News - About Reading - Book Test - BookTestOnline.com

Hi Everyone,

Google News reports that in America
last year, only 1 in every 4 adults
admits they read Zero Books. (poll results)

Also, did you know that only 1-2 percent of
all Americans visited a library last year.
Think about the teens like me who really
need someone to encourage them to read.
Reading could change their life. Maybe this
story on Google News will inspire more
people to start reading books starting now.
I do not think bloggers fall into this category.

Motivational Book For Teens - Added to Book Test Online

Hi Everyone,

Today, I am adding a motivational book
called "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
Teens" by Sean Covey to my website.

This is a great book for any teen like me.
Also, for the parents who want to encourage
someone to become more excited about their
future and life. It is not a book that you
would read in a couple of days. I spent two
summer's ago reading this book. Each day,
I would read only about 10 pages. It helped
me to get in the habit of reading something
everyday. Let me know if this tip helps.

Please check out my website
http://booktestonline.com

You can find this book test on the Book Search
category 3rd-6th grade of my website.
Trying to type about 25-50 questions.
Example of one of my questions. What makes
proactive people different? Then I have 4
multiple choice questions. Even if you do not
read the entire book, maybe taking my test will
give you a few good ideas about what to do.

I am going to add more Book Test to my site over the
next couple of weeks that have motivated me to read
more and develop better habits. Trying to encourage
younger students that reading can change their life.

Take Action - Tip #1 - Book Test Online

Hi Everyone,

I decided to
try a list
to do 2 things
instead of
only 1 each day.
Why?
This really
works and makes
you feel better about yourself.

This was my list this Summer!
.......(2-Is Better Than 1-List)..........
(1) Think of 2-new ideas for your
website or blog. (Add it)
(2) Read 2-Newspaper Articles or more
(3) Submit 2-New Web Directories
(4) Make 2-New Calls about your Website or Blog.
(5) Email 2-People - Business or maybe bloggers
that you do not know.
(6) Exercise 2-times a day. 15 minutes in the morning
and at night. Do sit-ups, stretch, arm exercise
with small weights, jog in place
(7) Eat 2-Healthy snacks a day
(8) Check your email 2-times a day
(9) 2-times a day Read a Book.
15 minutes or More in the morning and read
15 minutes on the Book at night.
(10)Think of 2-things that you are thankful for.

You Ask? How can you do all of that. Just try!
Some things you will do 2 and some 1. But you
will feel good because you tried to do more.
Hope this helps.

Memorizing dates and other things are very
important to improving your brains memory skills.
Do you want to have that terrible disease called
Alzheimer's when you get old? Of course not.
If you do not know what this disease does to
your brain google it! http://google.com

The birthday is April 10........try to remember
it this way. Let it spell something. This may
help. Sounds silly but remember you are helping
your brain.

Ten ...........So remember(TAB)the first
April..........letter of Ten...April...Birthday.
Birthday......Remember that TAB-Molly means
.................Ten-April-Birthday-Molly

You should buy a copy if you have not already. I cannot

Mark my words, some day the United States
will get education right and
then there will be a big backlash.
Instead of blaming illegal
immigrants and cheap foreign labor for
our problems, we will blame our own kids.
How can I honestly compete with a kid that
has all of their expenses covered and even gets
an allowance? The web has opened up
entrepreneurship and kids are catching on.

OK, Elizabeth Grace is not a Kid. Sixteen is a
young adult. But still, how many people that
young have the drive to build it and the stamina
to promote it? Here is the email she sent me.

I know this is what I need to get my business started.

I am ready to get the marketing started.

Website with clear conversion - Check

No fear to contact people she does not

Long term goals - Check

Depression Stay Away! - Read A Book

Hi Everyone,

Recently found an article

in The Wall Street Journal

by Kevin Helliker titled:

"Feeling depressed? Read a

book, say many therapists."

I am always interested in anything

that has to do with reading. Kevin states

that more therapists are recommending

something surprising for depressed and

anxious patients: Read a book.

He also gives research information. The treatment

is called bibliotherapy, and it is gaining force from

a spate of research showing that some self-help

books can measurably improve mental health.

For instance numerous clinical trials have shown

that "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy,"

a 1980 tome by Stanford University psychiatrist

David Burns, reduces depressive symptoms in large

numbers of readers.

This is just a brief summary of his article.

Very interesting and they have a name

for this too. Bibliotherapy. Wow!

Start writing your happy

book today!

Thank you Kevin Helliker at The Wall Street Journal!
