For all of the unattached love-seeking individuals out there, welcome 2015 with open arms because the new year brings new opportunities!
Whether you’ve made a resolution to find love, knowing that most new year’s resolutions never go anywhere, or, you’ve declared your intention to find love – here are four goals we should all keep in mind in order to easily find love in 2015.
Quantity is part of producing quality. Want to meet a great man? A great woman? Start by asking: What would I need to change in order to meet 10 new people every month? Sometimes increasing quantity increases quality by default, but also remember to try and connect with people genuinely. The rest will follow.
If a decision (or lack of decision) makes your stomach turn over with fear that you might regret it later, it’s probably because you will.
I’m not talking about that sudden tingling feeling of nerves when you’re about to do something scary – that’s usually a sign that it’s going to be good for you. Is it a phone call? A tough conversation? A text? Do it now. You’ll feel instantly better. Share and make decisions that will bring you a sense of peace.
Saying “NO” saves your day.
It stops you spending precious energy on fruitless projects, or being tied up with those friends you secretly hate but only spend time with out of some misplaced sense of obligation.
Saying “NO” is the easiest way of purchasing your own freedom.
Saying YES to opportunities is great and will take you far, but saying NO guards the most precious resource you own: your time and even your heart. Don’t be afraid to say “no” sometimes.
Not everyone feels love in the same way.
Some people need to hear the right words. Others need physical touch and affection. Others need evidence of your investment and loyalty.
If you are in a relationship, the best thing you can do for it is realise that not everyone receives love in the same way. Resolve to make your partner feel loved, instead of just thinking that telling them is enough.
Italy’s bubbly producers ended the year on a sparkling note as a record number of people opted for prosecco to toast the New Year.
National farmers’ body Coldiretti said Thursday it estimated that a total of 220 million bottles of Italian fizz will have been popped around the world by the end of the year-end holiday period.
Booming exports are more than compensating for stagnating domestic demand, Coldiretti said.
Definitive figures for the first nine months of 2014 revealed a 24 percent rise in sales of all forms of Italian sparkling wine.
They range from the grapey, low-alcohol Moscato d’Asti to top proseccos from Valdobbiadene, which are increasingly seen as a credible rival to champagne and the top ‘methode champenoise’ sparklers from Australia, New Zealand and California.
The growth has been achieved despite the impact of the country’s recession on the domestic market, which remained flat compared to 2013 and well below its peak levels of several years ago.
South Korean electronics giant Samsung Electronics said Thursday it will release smart televisions equipped with its new platform built around the Tizen operating system this year, as it seeks to lower its reliance on Google.
Samsung said all of its new web-connected TV sets would be run by Tizen, and added that it would unveil its first-ever Tizen smart TVs at a consumer electronics fair in Las Vegas next week.
“Building our Smart Platform around Tizen is a groundbreaking step towards a much more intelligent and integrated system,” Lee Won-Jin, a Samsung executive vice president, said in a statement.
“Tizen not only enriches the entertainment experience for our customers today, but unlocks great potential for the future in home entertainment,” he said.
Samsung, the world’s largest mobile phone producer, has focused on developing the Tizen operating system along with companies led by Intel to lower its reliance on Google’s Android operating system.
Tizen can be applied to mobile devices, digital cameras and home appliances. Samsung has rolled out Tizen-based digital cameras and wearable smart watches this year.
