In this article, I want to challenge the common perception that it is only possible to enjoy your leisure time. In particular, this article is targeted at the professional stuck in the 9 to 5 grind who longs for the weekend and, in the process, has given up on trying to find pleasure in the ordinary experiences we have every day.

1. Appreciate Beauty

Each day we come across beauty in a number of shapes and forms "

10 Most Brilliant Inventions of 2007
" Safe Clothing Limits Sports Injuries
Bikers are safer if they wear protective headgear, but Dow Corning has developed a "suit of armor" for bikers and other daredevils. The fabric used in the Dow Corning Active Protection System is soft and flexible until impacted, when it becomes rigid, not only at the site of impact, but throughout the material, thus protecting the entire area of the body covered. When it bounces back to its soft consistency, it can be laundered and worn again and again. Not just bikers, but other sportsmen and women can be protected from injuries by these fabrics. "

10 Steps Which Even a Lazy Person Can Use To Be A Millionaire
" A million dollars is a lot of money. And generally the perception is that you have to work very hard to have a million dollars to your name. You need to pick up new degrees, new skill sets and work 100 hours per week. I agree. All that certainly helps. But if you are a content soul that finds life is most enjoyable when you can just go to work in the morning, come back in the evening and hang out with the family or veg out in front of the TV/Internet, then here is some good news for you. Follow the steps below, and you can still be a millionaire without overarching yourself or burning yourself out. All it takes is some patience and some change in everyday habits. "

Quit counting calories if strategy doesn't add up
" Keeping tabs on numbers can derail your diet; fill up on these tips instead

Good news for anyone who hates number crunching: You don’t need to add or subtract a thing to get slim. “Instead, focus on food quality, portion size and the timing of your meals,” says Ann Yelmokas McDermott, Ph.D., director at the Center for Obesity Prevention and Education at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. If you obsess over calories, you’re more likely to consume fat-free foods that are low in fiber, high in sugar and, ultimately, unsatisfying. The result? You never feel full, so you end up eating more. Instead… "

Tips for improving your handwriting
" You’ve decided you want to improve your handwriting and you’re probably hoping a fountain pen will do the trick -- maybe a friend told you it would. Maybe you’re just adventurous and you want to try your hand at calligraphy (or you might, once your handwriting improves). Good for you!

A fountain pen may make your writing look a bit better, but if your writing looks as if frenzied chickens got loose on the page, chances are this won’t be enough. Most likely, you’ll need to retrain your arm and hand.

After coaching handwriting and teaching calligraphy over the years, I’ve learned to see the characteristics of those who’ll be able to pick up the necessary motions quickly from those who’ll have to work a bit harder. "

What's Inside: Colgate Whitening
" Sodium Monofluorophosphate A type of fluoride. Tooth enamel — made mostly of the mineral hydroxyapatite — is vulnerable to the acids in food, plaque bacteria, and saliva. Fluoride's job is to bind with the existing enamel to form a new compound, fluora patite, which is more resistant to these acids. Brushing with a fluoride toothpaste (or drinking fluoridated tap water) actually re engineers your teeth. Is it safe? Yes "

The Solution To Keeping Yourself On Track
AlexShalman.com " What if it was possible to set huge goals for ourselves, but this time follow through with them without getting too far off track? What if we used a simple system that would keep an eye on our progress, and make sure we weren’t performing in a counter productive manner?

I know it sounds like a wonderful but unrealistic idea. However, it doesn’t have to be, if you stick with the system. The key here is the simplicity, and it is very viable if you just keep yourself accountable.

My experience:
This is a system I’ve been using for nearly a year, and can testify to its merit. I decided that I was tired of setting huge goals, and allowing them to take a seat on the sidelines, as I got distracted and busy with other things. "
