Professional carpenters are distinguished from inept nail benders by their knowledge of what tools best match certain tasks. Unlike the person whose only tool is a hammer, social media users should view Google+ for what it is, not what some wish it were; it’s another tool. Just as a craftsperson wouldn’t use a chisel to do what a jig-saw could do better, networkers will do well to learn what applications best fit this new social networking implement. So far, those moving from early adopters to regular users seem to have figured out just that.

If you're focused on being the most successful you can be in terms of your health and wellness, nutrition, finances, relationships, and business and career, then odds are you are not a smoker. However, I am aware that some of our readers are smokers: if you are a smoker, this post is for you.

When nicotine withdrawal kicks in, you know you must light up to satisfy that urge. However, you may also find yourself within situations where it's unacceptable or downright forbidden to smoke because of health and safety restrictions (at the movies, on an airplane or train, or at a restaurant) or where it is socially unacceptable to light up (client calls, job interviews, children's birthday parties, business networking events).
