Firefighter Calendar Word: Fill & Download for Free

Police officers ("Cop" is such a inappropriate word) are that way because they are constantly trying to be "cool" like their heros at the fire station. They love the bright, shiny trucks and their depression about not being a firefighter causes them to eat lots of frosted doughnuts which turns their skin that color.On the other hand....firefighters turn that shade slowly as they become better and better at their job. The better looking and smartest firefighters get that way quickly. That's why you see so many firefighter calendars and never see one with police officers. (Who wants a calendar with a police officer holding a doughnut?)It's sad that not everyone can become a firefighter.....I sure everyone would like to be orange looking!

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.“See ya later dude!”That’s what I said to him right before he died. His name was Frank, and I worked with him from 1989 to 1991. He was a Mexican man who was a few years older than I was, and we worked on an assembly line with a bunch of guys who were around our age.The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie had come out about that time, and everybody was saying “Dude” because of the Michelangelo character. That is—everybody except for for Frank. He thought “Dude” sounded stupid. But this “dude” thing continued for months at work, and then one day Frank slipped and said it himself. I’ll never forget it.Without thinking Frank responded to someone by saying, “Okay dude,” and then his eyes got wide in disbelief. He was horrified by the fact that he said that stupid word, and everyone laughed. I went over to the calendar that was in the shop, and I recorded the event. I wrote, “Frank said ‘dude’ today.” In fact I still have that calendar…Frank was one of the nicest guys I had ever known. He never said an unkind word to anybody. I don’t remember how this all managed to come about, but his older brother had died of a massive heartattack a few years earlier, and somehow Frank and his wife were raising his brother’s kids as their own.I was a volunteer firefighter back then, and Frank approached me on a Monday morning to tell me that he wasn’t feeling well. He had been experiencing a burning sensation in his throat the entire weekend, and it was still bothering him. He told me that he had an appointment with his doctor later on that day, but I talked him into letting me drive him to an urgent care facility instead.We left work right away. When we got to the urgent care facility they examined Frank immediately, and then they called 911. While we were waiting for the ambulance to arrive that would take him to the hospital, I got Frank’s wife’s phone number from him so that I could let her know what was happening.Everything happened so fast. The ambulance arrived, the EMT’s put Frank on a gurney, and I followed along as they wheeled him out into the parking lot. I watched as they loaded him into the back and closed the doors. I could see him through the windows as the EMT’s propped him up in a sitting postion, and when our eyes met he smiled and gave me a thumbs up.I yelled out, “See ya later dude!,” and Frank leaned his head back and laughed. That was the last time I saw him. He suffered a major heartattack at the hospital, and he died.

More accurately, they are open, honest, genuine and accomplished.While these people are highly accomplished in their careers as actors and musicians, remember they weren’t accomplished and famous when they entered their careers. Their height didn’t stop them from going for their dreams.These men have proven it is what’s in one’s beliefs and thoughts about oneself and others that counts most.I teach people to create life and living with respect, kindness, honesty, integrity and authenticity because you will attract the same respectful, kind, honest, authentic and conscientiousness people, thus making for a better relationship in return.BE A PERSON OF STATUS:It is important to remember there is not yet any consensus on what attracts people to one another. Science has found dozens of factors, but there is no overarching model that is agreed upon by everyone. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling their perspective.Many traits which determine attraction are completely out of one’s control: i.e. genetic make-up, physical features, testosterone levels, pheromones, social perceptions. You can’t control these so there’s little reason to worry about them. The aspects of who you are and what you are about that you can control is your characteristics—respect, kindness, honesty, integrity, authenticity, tone of voice, body language, and choice of wordsThere are many traits which ARE within your control: Your lifestyle choices, your occupation, how you dress and groom yourself, your health and fitness, your confidence, your lack of neediness, and your behavior.There is a lot to juggle. Thus, it helps to find underlying principles to attraction, a common denominator of all attractive behaviors and qualities.Research reveals that the largest common denominator when studying what attracts people is that people who are perceived to have a high level of character and confidence are more attractive—irrespective of height and stunning looks.There is validity that a high level of character and confidence will attract others to you, because this factor is mentioned the most often in interview material, etc. It’s seems ubiquitous, and yet there are a number of interpretations of what constitutes status. There’s outward status—money, resources, stylish (not necessarily top-of-the-line) clothes and behavioral displays of status (confidence, assertiveness, humility, compassion, leadership). There are arguments on both sides, which, drives which: does money and prestige lead to confidence and leadership? Or does being a confident leader create wealth and prestige? In my opinion, the later is more authentic.Furthermore, research supports that people are attracted to potential status as much as they are attracted to status itself. No doubt you have heard about someone who for a period of time at the end of college and two or three years struggled financially and floundering with career status. Maybe sleeping on a friend’s couch, unemployed and still going out and partying. Struggling financially didn’t seem to slow them down. In fact, some people attract a number of older people—who take them under their wing and support them during this period until they get on their feet.I believe that status is determined by behavior. Outward displays of status can create opportunities (cars, money, nice clothes), but don’t create lasting attraction themselves. They are the effects of high status behavior, not the cause.For example, a needy person may come up with really clever jokes and have a great job, but he/she will use them to impress people and get validation from them — needy behaviors—and will therefore be perceived to be unattractive. Whereas a non-needy person may talk about silly conversation topics, openly admit being between jobs, but get very excited and passionate about his/her goals. This person will be seen as attractive because his/her behavior will be genuine, authentic, and non-needy. The reason is she/he is basing her/his behavior around her/him on her/his perception of her/himself and not her/his perception of her/him.The needy person, despite having a good credentials and clever things to say, is a follower. She/He’s a pawn of those around her/him. She/He will only go so far. The non-needy person, even though she/he may be a bit aimless and in a downturn in her/his life, she/he will end up living an enriching and unique life that suits her/him and make her/him happier.When a person values the perceptions of others more than his/her perception of him/herself, then he/she will naturally behave in an unattractive way around them. If he/she trusts his/her perception of him/herself more than the perceptions of those around him/her, then he/she will be perceived as a non-needy person, and therefore behave attractively. All of the outward appearances of status and resources — a cool lifestyle, fitness, nice clothes— these things are a result of a person who is inwardly driven, a person who invests in him/herself and takes care of him/herself.In the final end, all attractive traits in a person can be traced back to his/her self-esteem, self-confidence and lack of neediness.This is not to say that a person needs to disregard the perceptions of others, or trash or disrespect the perceptions of others — only that she/he needs to believe in his/her perception of him/herself more than the perceptions of those around him/her.Neediness plays out in many forms. No doubt, you’ll recognize at least a few of these examples (my sincere apology if some of these examples bring up painful memories):Calling or texting someone many times in succession because she/her didn’t call or text back and never getting an answer. NEEDINESSStraining to come up with a funny line or clever joke in order to impress or to get him/her to like you. NEEDINESSMemorizing lines or routines other than scripts for acting to avoid rejection. NEEDINESSAccepting that if someone doesn’t call back that there wasn’t a fit. NON-NEEDINESSLying about experience or ability to appear more interesting or attractive. NEEDINESSExpressing your interests and desires openly and honestly. NON-NEEDINESSHiding your flaws, rejecting feedback. NEEDINESSBeing unafraid of exposing your flaws. Being comfortable with your imperfection. NON-NEEDINESSNeeding to be “dominant” or in control of an interaction at all times. NEEDINESSResenting the person who has decision making ability, or assuming they’re inferior or dumber than you. Talking down to others. NEEDINESSTreating people as equal, and have standards about who you are, what you are about, enjoying, being someone who is happy and concerned about your happiness. NON-NEEDINESSInvesting in improving yourself for yourself, rather than to impress people or make people like you. NON-NEEDINESSImproving yourself only to impress those around you. Doing what you think will make people like you instead of doing what you like. NEEDINESSYou might notice that some of the behaviors labeled “needy” are behaviors taught as legitimate ways to get what you want. This tactic might work in the short term, but, tends to fail in the long term.Needy behavior will only attract other needy people. Neediness finds its own level. When you’re an angry, misogynist who lies to people to get what you want, the only people who will tolerate your behavior long enough to hire you or be a friend with you will be angry, distrusting people who lie to draw people in. If you are open and honest about your intentions and genuinely care about people you meet and interact with authentically, then you will attract genuine and caring people who will be honest with you.In metaphysics this is referred to as the assortment effect and it has been demonstrated in numerous studies.If you’ve been needy in the past, then you’ve engaged in dysfunctional relationships with people who were highly needy in similar or complementary ways. Or, if you’ve been with few, or are unable to attract the status of people you desire, then chances are you’ve been so needy in your behavior that you’ve remained aloof and alone.If you desire to be with amazing people who are open, loving, independent, supportive and accepting, then you need to be the equivalent. You need to be an honest, open, and strong person who believes in him/herself, takes care of him/herself, and is proud of the amazing life he/she’s made for him/herself. Attracting people is not about appearing attractive or tall, it’s about being attractive.DESIRE AND BRAVERY“If you don't arouse my mind, you won't arouse my body.” -Winston ChurchillSince status creates attraction in people, then demonstration of desire creates can be created by equal value and status .Whether the bravery of a Firefighter from the Firefighter calendar or the sexy surfer who braves the 20 foot waves in frigid waters or a pilot, displays of bravery that grabs people’s attention on more than anything else. So, although, someone maybe short in stature, one can be attractive by other means.Yet, no matter how brave, physically attractive the luster and shine wares off quickly. While authenticity, kindness, compassion and respect never loses its attractiveness—short or tall.What does this mean for regular people?It means being nervous is going to be a pretty big turn off. Afraid to talk to her/him, afraid to ask questions is a turn off. Making statements with confidence and authority—without being braggadocios—is key.In communication, what motivates your behavior is just as important as the behavior itself.We all have known someone who was “struggling,” someone who seemed desperate for the attention or validation of those around them. Maybe it was a guy at work who needed to be right, or a woman who complained about everything so people would feel sorry for her, or the friend who did crazy things to impress his friends and be cool.Likely these people annoyed everyone.When it comes to being non-needy, if you are working to be non-needy so you can be more attractive, then you’re paradoxically being needy. I know that sentence probably made your brain explode, so I’ll say it again.You need to adopt non-needy behaviors because you care about yourself and want to improve yourself. Being attractive will be an ultimate side-effect of that desire.If you attempt to adopt non-needy behaviors in an attempt to impress others, you are still being needy. You are faking it, and you will eventually be exposed. The only way to develop a genuine attraction to people is by genuinely investing in yourself.When it comes to expressing yourself openly, if you’re doing it because you think it’s what people want to hear, then your actions are going to come across as inauthentic and they will be confused or not trust you. If you treat telling to people as a “line” or a “strategy” to be memorized or adopted, then people will sense your neediness like a dirty pair of underwear and turn you down.Expressing your desire is an internal process. It’s a process of removing your internal barriers to sharing your beliefs, knowledge and feelings with others. Recognize that you will be rejected and turned down by a lot of regardless of whatever you do. Accept this and appreciate it. If you measure success by lack of rejection, then you will be disappointed. If you measure success with people by the enjoyment and honesty of your interactions with them, then you will easily have a 100% success rate. Why can I say 100% success rate? Because when you accept people for who they are, then, you will learn more about yourself.This is an internal and emotional process, not an external behavioral one with a gimmick. The external behaviors are an internal side effect, not the cause of the attraction.And becoming an attractive person of status is a process of investing in yourself and caring about yourself. Again, this is an internal and emotional process — how you feel about yourself, how you perceive yourself, how much you care about yourself — and bringing people into your life is a side-effect of that internal investment.External investment will lead you nowhere. At best, it will bring superficial or dysfunctional connections/relationships, and at worst it will bring you absolutely nothing. Yes, absolutely nothing. Proceed with caution.WHAT NOW?Hopefully this information has given you a solid foundation of understanding the basic principles of attraction and how they work. Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a lot of concrete examples or things you can do. No worries, there are 100′s of articles dedicated to work and socializing related ways to attract people.
