Inspirational Quotes to Help You Reach Your Goals

Everyone has goals and aspirations but sometimes we lack the enthusiasm and motivation to go after them. If this is you, there are a few simple things you can do to give yourself that extra little push.

Firstly, be clear on exactly what your goal is. You need to be specific in what you are trying to achieve and the steps you must take to get there. Make lists, put up pictures and have a plan. And when you still need that extra little push, refer to your favourite inspirational quotes. Here are some of my favourites to get you started.

5 Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategies for Leaders!

Here's a really simple way to think about the ins and outs, the doing and practice or attitudes and behaviors of being a leader.

Many times I get asked certain questions that tell me that there seems to be some confusion concerning these critical areas of the leadership mission:

1) When and who can, should or will leaders need to lead?

2) What do leaders actually do?

3) How and in what ways do leaders appear to lead?

This article will show you how to analyze, define and perform the most important task of a leader's job - that is, to enrich human capital.

You will appreciate this one essential truth: leaders need to invest in and leverage the various factors, variables and elements of the "human capital equation".

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 1: Learn the Nature of Your Capital Assets!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You will want to use your understanding of the four generic asset categories that form "human capital".

In a word, your success as a leader depends on your answer to this simple question: what are human capital assets?

Our capital assets are defined as the ways we bring value to our world, to our environment and to our evolution.

Because people purposely add value to the circumstances of their lives, I call each of those value-appreciating areas, a "capital asset".

These assets or value-enhancing capabilities are:

Production - the ability to create, evaluate, perform, deliver, process, supply, execute, apply, produce and many other "functional" activities.

Knowledge - may be thought of as having an ability to think, analyze, conceive, extrapolate, interpret or translate and other mental, reasoning, cogitating or intellectual actions.

Social - the forming of relationships, communities, teams, partnerships or alliances, the developing and sustaining of networks, interactions, exchanges or transactions with and between other people.

Utilization - concepts involving capabilities towards, growing, improving, enhancing, evolving, developing, learning, educating and progressing beyond one's innate or natural ability - an ability to act towards and achieve the fulfillment of one's potential

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 2: Focus the Considerable Impacts of Our Capital Assets!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

If you can maintain the idea of focusing attention on, sharpening the impact and magnifying the effects of each of those 4 capital asset areas.

You can be certain that when you do all of these actions, you will find a venerable treasure trove of positive outcomes.

So what should you concentrate your efforts on developing? Here are some possible beneficial pay-offs:

Value - you will increase the impact of this desirable benefit simply by constantly questioning the meaning of your group's work engagements - are we doing this task to add value or because we have to or are supposed to do it?

Quality - improving the quality of the processes that your group uses to accomplish its work must be a continual process unto itself - how much and in what ways do we leverage the 4 capital asset areas to enhance our efficiency, our resourcefulness and effectiveness?

Motives - what inspires you is many times just as important as what your motivation inspires you to achieve - does your group invest any of their time and energies into exploring the values, beliefs, meanings, purposes and objectives propelling their daily efforts?

Capacity - building upon the competencies, performances, know-how and knowledge, facts and figures and growth opportunities are critical in these days of disruptive, brutally dynamic, break-neck pace of change - how do you develop the capacity or potential for each of the 4 capital asset areas?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 3: Fully Engage the Power of Your Capital Attributes!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You are already very familiar with each of your capital attributes - they are, your physical, intellectual, spiritual and developmental natures.

Successful leaders endeavor to fully involve those attributes of our human natures - they understand that people are at their best when they totally engage:

- Their 5 physical senses,

- Their creative and cognitive minds,

- Their soul [their will, psychological and emotional natures] and spirit

- Their ability to learn new things and then innovate and apply their new knowledge to problems, challenges and situations.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 4: Grandly Evolve, Expand and Energize Your Resources!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The most important thing in every organized effort is the human resource. There are just three rules concerning the human resource - it should not be under-utilized, it should never be under-estimated and it must not be under-developed.

It's really a sickness that most leaders inflict on their groups. 95% of all organizations violate all three of those rules everyday - want proof?

Just look for any of the following symptoms of the disease in your organization, base of operations or yourself:

- Unimaginative, uninspired work products or practices

- Frustrated, fearful, worried employees

- Sabotage, theft [minor items like pens, paper, etc.]

- Lapses in ethical behaviors, morality and truthfulness

- Absence of leaders who are or feel empowered to act

Excellent leaders seek ways to maximize, expand-upon and broaden the scope of involvement of their people's bodies, minds, spirits and souls - nurture your people and they'll nourish your prosperity.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Human Capital Asset Enrichment Strategy - Number 5: Inspire, Influence, Involve, Incite, Instigate, Incentivize, Include, Incorporate, Increase, Incubate, Inculcate, Indemnify, Induce Them to Enrich Their Capital Assets!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Leaders are "In-" it all for the long haul - leaders always "In-"vest their energies "In-"to the growth and enrichment of their people.

You should attempt to follow Strategy Number-5 with all the zeal, enthusiasm and love that you can muster - when you do, you will discover that literal chest of treasures that usually lies hidden deep "In-"side your people.

You'll discover that there are numerous opportunities "In-" the resources, attributes, potential impacts and assets of human beings for you to "In-"geniously, "In-"variably "In-"veigle and demonstrate your care and concern for your people's welfare and advancement.

It's "In-" your best interests to work exclusively and fully "In-"volve yourself "In-" the critical activities of coaching, mentoring, counseling, guiding, challenging, educating, "In-"spiring and empowering your people "In-" all that they do.

------------------------------------------------------------

Whether you called a leader or think of yourself as just a follower you too can enrich the human capital assets of the people under your care.

If you work with knowledge, perform some service or supervise people or a process, you can use the lessons learned in this article to add value, leverage human resources, inspire others and develop potential.

Now that you know the strategies of human capital appreciation, you should experiment first with your own work activities, then try it these principles on your friends, families and associates at work - make your world a better, more enjoyable place, enrich your space today.

Author, consultant and successful leader, Jim Rohn, tells us that, "A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better."

You can turn these 5 enrichment strategies into a wonderful, productive, positive and tangibly glorious reality in your own life.

You don't need a business card to say you are a leader, your boss doesn't have to appoint you to a position of leadership and you don't need a badge to act like a leader.

As the famous advertisement urges us all to, "Just Do It!"

FAQ: Intellectual Property Protection

Frequently Asked Questions on Intellectual Property Protection

1.Are intellectual property assets?

Without a doubt, intellectual property (IP) is one of the most important assets that a company will own. IP can be licensed, bought, sold, hired or mortgaged like any other form of property. One of the main sources of IP is from the results of research and development work. In order for companies and individuals to maintain the value of their IP, they must ensure a sufficient level of protection and safeguard against infringing a third partys IP, writes Dr Rosanna Cooper.

2.What are intellectual property rights (IPRs)?

Intellectual property right is the right to use intellectual property. IPRs fall within two main categories, registered and unregistered rights. Patents, trade marks and registered designs are registrable rights. Unregistered IPRs include copyright, designs, brands and know-how. Domain names can be classed as quasi-registered rights.

3.How to obtain a UK patent?

Patents protect inventions such as processes and products. Patents in the UK are obtained by filing an application with the UK Patent Office. On examination of the application, the Patent Office determines whether a patent should be granted. The application goes through various stages and can take up to four years before it is granted, although under the UK system, the process can be expedited.

Should patent searches be carried out?

It is always worthwhile to carry out relevant patent searches to establish the risk of infringement.

4.What is the test for patentability?

To be patentable, an invention must satisfy each of the following conditions:

  • It must be novel (i.e. not made or used anywhere in the world before the filing of the patent application);

  • It must involve an inventive step (i.e. it cannot be an obvious step);

  • It must be capable of industrial application( all industries apply); and

  • It cannot fall within an excluded category i.e. a discovery, a literary work or mathematical model.

    5.What is the priority date?

    On the filing of a patent application, the owner of the invention has 12 months from the filing or priority date in which to file foreign patent applications.

    6.How long does a patent last for?

    It is good practice to decide, as early as possible, on an international patent filing strategy. An investor should be made aware of the significant costs involved in obtaining international patents.

    Is should be noted that the inventor may not necessarily be the owner of the invention as an employer will own any invention made during the course of employment. A registered patent protects inventions by giving the owner of the invention a 20 year monopoly right of exploitation.

    7.Are patent rights territorial?

    Patent protection applies only in the country in which the patent is granted. It gives a patent owner the right to bring an injunction to stop a third party infringing an invention protected by a patent i.e. a third party cannot use, sell, hire or import the patented products or processes without the authorisation of the owner. The case of Agilent Technologies Deutschland GmbH v Waters Ltd (2005) is a recent patent infringement decision.

    8.What are the remedies for patent infringement?

    The remedies available are damages (compensation for any loss suffered) or a percentage of profit made by a third party. The claimant can also obtain an order from the courts to have the infringing products destroyed. A recent case is http://www.rtcoopers.com/patent_infringement_aug.php

    9.When can an invention be disclosed?

    Disclosure is only relevant to patents, registered designs and know-how. If an invention is disclosed in any form (which could be oral, written or by use), the invention loses its novelty and the proprietor of the invention loses the right to obtain a patent for that invention. The following disclosures, before the priority date, can lead to an invention losing its novelty:

    If the invention is published (even in an obscure journal);
    If an invention is published on the Internet;
    If the invention is disclosed at an international conference;
    Publication of a patent application by the UK Patent Office;

  • Use of the invention by a member of the public (without breaching confidentiality);

  • The public is given sufficient information in the patent application to perform the invention; or

  • The oral disclosure of an invention.

    An exception is where an invention is exhibited at an international exhibition within six months before the priority date in that case novelty will not be lost.

    10.What is the position with the USA?

    It should be noted that even if an application is published in the UK, it may still be patentable in the USA, as the invention date will be taken from the dated, signed and countersigned page of the researchers laboratory notebook which first described the invention.

    11.Are Computer Programs patentable?

    With the advent of the Internet and the growth in IT, companies are seeking to obtain patent protection for computer programs. Patents of computer programs are more readily obtainable in the USA and Japan than in the UK and the rest of Europe. The EPO and the UK Patent Office only granted patents for computer programs where the program brought about a technical effect. The Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions (CII Directive) was rejected on 6 July 2005 by the European Parliament during Second Reading. It was intended to maintain the status quo of permitting the patenting of certain types of inventions involving the use of computer programs, providing they made a 'technical contribution' and providing they also met the normal patentability requirements of being new, inventive and having industrial applicability http://www.patent.gov.uk/media/pressrelease/2005/0607a.htm and http://www.rtcoopers.com/software_patents.php

    However, the UK Patent Office will accept patent claims to computer programs, either themselves or on a carrier, provided that the program is such that when run on a computer it produces a technical effect which is more than would arise from the running of any program on a computer.

    12.Can you patent a business method?

    In the USA, patents for computer implemented business methods are available but not in the UK. If a company has a novel business method it should consider making an application for a US patent. There are certain formalities, however, which will have to be adhered to.

    13.What are design rights?

    Design rights are of two types, registered and unregistered. Unregistered design right affords protection to functional as opposed to purely aesthetic designs.

    14.What are unregistered design rights?

    Design right arises automatically by the operation of law and protects new original, non-commonplace designs of the shape or configuration of articles. Design right is not a monopoly right but a right to prevent copying.

    15.How long does an unregistered design right last for?

    It lasts until 10 years after first marketing articles made to the design, subject to an overall limit of 15 years from creation of the design. Certain exceptions apply to design right.

    In general, design right protects designs created by nationals, residents or companies of the European Community. The design right owner has the right to take civil action in the courts and the remedies available are the same as above.

    The Dyson case represents a significant decision regarding unregistered design rights.

    16.What are registered design rights?

    A registered design is a monopoly right for the appearance of the whole or a part of a product resulting from the features of, in particular, the lines, contours, colours, shape, texture, materials of the product or its ornamentation. For a design to be afforded protection, it must be new and have an individual character. A design is new if no identical design or the designs whose features differ in immaterial details have been disclosed to the public anywhere in the world (the prior art), before the date of filing the application or the date from which priority is claimed.

    17.What is the grace period?

    However, if a designer himself, at least 12 months before filing an application (or claiming priority) markets, promotes or exhibits his designs to gauge levels of interests this would not amount to disclosure.

    18.What is the test for a registered design?

    To meet the requirements of individual character the design must produce on the informed user, a different overall impression from prior designs. This may be a retail customer. The degree of freedom of a designer in creating a design is taken into account in determining whether a design has individual character. Where minor differences separate the design from the prior art then the scope of protection is limited, the public should be able to ascertain that a design is different from others that already exist.

    19.How long does a registered design last for?

    Registration of a design would last initially for 5 years, and extendible by 5 years, up to a maximum of 25 years.

    20.How do I obtain a UK registered design?

    To obtain a UK registered design you can apply to the Patent Office on the prescribed form. You can obtain further information on obtaining a community registered design by clicking on this link.

    21.What should be taken into account in my business plan regarding filing of a registered design?

    Investors usually require a start-up business or inventor to have a design filing strategy in place as the filing costs should be taken into account when preparing a business plan.

    22.What are trade marks?

    Trade marks are the badge of a business and protect any mark capable of graphical representation, which distinguishes the goods and services of a company from those of another. Trade marks include names, signatures, smells, shapes and logos. When choosing a new trade mark, it is advisable that a company carries out the requisite trade mark searches in the UK and in all other key markets, in order to minimise the risk of infringing a third partys trade mark.

    23.Should a trade mark search be carried out?

    Searches are therefore imperative, although the costs of trade mark searches can be significant.

    24.How long does a trade mark registration last?

    Trade mark protection lasts for ten years and the registration is renewable every ten years thereafter. The registered mark must be used, preferably in the form in which it is registered, in order to avoid the risk of a cancellation action.

    25.Why is the priority date important?

    A company has six months from the date of filing a trade mark application (the priority date) in which to make foreign applications, otherwise the company will not retain the filing date. There have been some significant developments in trade mark law.

    26.Is a filing strategy required?

    Investors usually ensure that a company has adequate trade mark filing strategy in place for achieving international trade mark protection. There are a number of trade mark systems available to achieve International trade mark registration including the Madrid Protocol.

    27.What can be done if a third party infringes our trade mark?

    A company can only bring an infringement action when the trade mark is registered. The remedies available are the same as for patents. However, a company can also obtain damages for past infringement, which occurred before registration.

    28.What is copyright?

    Copyright protection in the UK arises automatically by an operation of law.

    Can a copyright work be registered in the UK?

    There is no system of registration. However, copyright registration can be obtained in the USA for certain copyright works.

    What types of works are protected by copyright?

    Copyright protection can be afforded to various aspects of work such as literary, dramatic, artistic works, including, research notes, books, recipes, computer programs, typographical arrangements of published works including articles or lecture notes.

    What is the test for copyright protection?

    For copyright to subsist in a work there has to be some element of originality and the test is the degree of skill, labour and judgement expended by the author in the creation of the work.

    Who owns the copyright?

    The author of the work owns copyright, unless the work was created during the course of employment, in which case, the copyright belongs to the employer.

    How long does copyright last for?

    Copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.

    What are good housekeeping rules regarding copyright protection?

    A company should, as part of its good housekeeping rules, place copyright notices on all original, texts, scripts, sketches and diagrams and other copyright work. For e-businesses, a copyright notice should also be placed on a website.

    What amounts to copyright infringement?

    If a third party infringes copyright material, whether it is the copying of text from a website or a published article, the owner of the copyright has the right to bring an infringement action to stop the copying of such material. The remedies are the same as described above.

    What are brands?

    Goodwill and reputation protect the brand of a business.

    Can a company sue for infringement of a brand by a third party?

    A company can bring an injunction for the unauthorised use of its unregistered trade mark to stop a third party from passing off its name. In order to succeed in a passing off action, a company must have the necessary goodwill and reputation and satisfy certain other criteria. One of the most important criteria is that the company bringing the claim must be able to show confusion on the part of the public. This is usually achieved by using survey evidence, which is generally expensive to collate. The remedies available are the same as for a trade mark infringement action. For a recent case on brands see http://www.rtcoopers.com/deception_or_confusion.php.

    How can confidentiality/know-how be protected?

    Confidentiality protects other information not capable of IP protection, such as an invention before a patent application is filed, know-how, including commercial information, recipes, trade secrets, processes and improvements to products. In order for an invention to be protected by the law of confidential information, the information must have the necessary quality of confidence.

    It is therefore crucial for the owner of an invention to enter into a confidentiality agreement at the outset of any negotiations relating to an invention. The agreement must specify:

    What information has to be kept confidential;
    How long for;
    The purpose for which the information is to be disclosed; and
    Any other limitations placed on the use of the information.

    What are the remedies for breach of confidentiality?

    The remedies for breach of confidential information are the same as for IP infringement.

    What is IP Insurance?

    IPRs are valuable assets and, as such, should be protected to the fullest extent. Litigation can be very expensive whether a company is bringing or defending an action. There are specialist types of legal expenses insurance policies available for safeguarding or defending against:

    Infringement of IPRs;
    Actual or alleged breach of contract; or
    Defending a challenge to the validity of the insureds IPRs e.g. the validity of a patent.

    What are the key issues involved in IP protection?

    Overseas Adoption Is A Wonderful Idea

    More people are now supporters of overseas baby adoption. Adopting a child is a wonderful idea for many family, even celebrities are doing it. Some celebrities adopted children resembles a mini United Nations family. So even if you already have children or for some reasons, you simply are unable to have a child, do consider adoption.

    There are in fact many, many children in our planet that are yearning and waiting for loving homes to feel secure inside and loving parents to look up to.

    For most people adopting for the first time, they would not consider adoption overseas. Adopting from another country is perceived to be expensive, time consuming and tremendously exasperating.

    Adopting locally or from within the country is supposed to be easier compared with the former. However, in the recent years, adoption within the country has proved to be much more difficult than we all had thought.

    It seems that everything we all heard of the usual depictions of orphans is mistaken. For now, gone are the days when there were distressed orphans in our country, waiting for adoption. Most of these kids are adopted at a very young age unless they need special attention or are of complicated cases.

    If you wish for a baby to adopt, an adoption overseas is positively your best option. Fortunately in many countries, adoption is still unacceptable socially and there are many unwanted orphans. However there is only one way for childless couples to get children of their own, which is through adoption.

    If you are considering overseas adoption, you had better be prepared to have some money ready for such a procedure. For some, adopting a child from overseas can cost in the range of 7000 dollars, which does not include your travel expenses in and out of the country.

    You may have to need to take several trips into the country of selection, get interviewed by the various government officers, spent a lot of time going through the government administration and still may not be able to adopt the child successfully. Adoption overseas is only for the few who preserve. Be warned, if you are not prepared to do what it takes, you should not even try lest you be discouraged.

    Nevertheless, your efforts put into adoption overseas will proved to be rewarding. A couple I know took more than two years to successfully adopt a beautiful little girl from China. They knew that the girl would not look anything like them when she grows up, but they did not care. They would just love her as their own and provide her with a loving home and she would be their daughter.

    Many baby girls are unwanted in some countries due to their cultural and social preference. At the same time, the regime firmly regulates the number of children that each couple can have.

    This is probably why adopting from China is so popular in our country. Unknowingly to us, there could be numerous Chinese babies born each year who are not wanted by their own parents.
