Management Lesson (Chapter 11)

Make Sense? Have a Nice Day!! Chill out..........

Blonde and her VCR

today's is saturday and time to move the pace little slower and relax our mind. Some might still have to work just like my dad, whose been unlucky to stuck in the airport. i know all the damn frustration with our 5 star airlines, something that out of our control; complaint, shouting, anger will not able to change the events, at least to some extent it just brought some attention and awareness of the seriousness of the problem to the management. So time to cool down little bit with this yet another episode of blonde jokes,..here it is;

A blonde decides to do something wild she hasn't done before, so she sets out to rent her first X-rated adult video. She goes to the video shop and, after looking around for a while, selects a title that sounds very stimulating.

She drives home, lights some candles, slips into something comfortable, and puts the tape in the VCR. To her disappointment, there's nothing but static on the screen, so she calls the video shop to complain.

Blonde: "I just rented an adult movie from you and there's nothing on the tape, but static."
Shop assistant: "Sorry about, that. We've had problems with some of those tapes. Which title did you rent?"

Blonde says "It's called 'Head Cleaner."

When China's Chinese speak English

Hey..can you understand when Chinese in China speak "Chinglish"? Some can and some cannot depends on the person that you speak too,...DO we expect certain standard when we comes to cabin crew works in the sky? I bet most airlines do but I suspect not for one of many China-bound airlines, one of sure is the China Southern Airlines. Here comes the announcement by the very "standard" cabin crew:

"Good afternoon, Ladies and the German". This is your cheap purser Wang Lui speaking. On behalf of China Sudden Airlines, I would like to welcome you on board our Bowling 737 from Shenzhen to Qingtao. Members of my crew speak Chinese and other languages that you do not know. It is a great pressure serving you to-die. Should you need any resistance during the fright, peace do pest the call button. I and my gals are available to make you feel comfortable. Meanwhile, the airkwaft is going to FRY. Peace sit upright and keep you belt tightly fastened until dinner is served at five dirty p.m. Hope you would enjoy your fright with us. Funk kill.

Oh My God!!!Help me!! Hope it will enlighten and relieve some of your pressure at work..ADIOS>>>

Think outside the box

Well, the competition is stiff everywhere throughout the world that also include africa continent. We are talking about donations...charity, well...this time they really think outside the box...check it out yourself:

Self esteem is not a test

"This life is a test. It is only a test. If this had been a real life, you would have received further instructions on what to do and how to do it."Ever heard those words? When you first read them, it's almost a relief. "Whew! It's just a test."But when you look deeper, you ask: "Well what, exactly, is being tested?"Then you conclude: "Me. I am being tested.

"Well, what about me is being tested?Here's where it gets interesting. Cause when you strip away the veneer, it all boils down to:

Am I loveable?

Am I enough?

Am I worthy?

Am I deserving?

So if your loveability is being tested, then who is doing the judging? Who grades the test? If you're grading yourself, then there's no need for a test. Rather, it can be a self-assessment.That's called self-esteem.

Self-esteem is the estimate you make of yourself. And you're already assessing yourself every minute of every day. It's the definition of self-esteem. But self-esteem is not a test. No.

If life is a test, then by definition it must be graded by another. It could be your friends, your lover, your family, your church, your job, your co-workers, your paycheck, your car, your house... any number of things or people.Bottom line: it's an Outside Authority who's grading you. Some would say God is doing the testing.

My own conclusion is that God is doing the giving, not the testing. Either way, I see God as Supreme Authority, not Outside Authority. Huge difference.The sun shines for all. The sun is always shining. Everyone can bask in the sun. Also, return to the foundation of self-esteem. Which is:

I assess myself. I am the only one who determines my level of esteem. I decide.

I assess.I assess my honesty.

My integrity.

My level of conscious responsibility.

My level of trust.

That's the foundation of self-esteem..Do I have the courage to earn my self-esteem? Or will I hide in a lie? I get to decide. That's the greatest gift of all.

blonde and her painting

This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all the blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid, so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.

The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and detects the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.

He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is OK.

She replies, "Yes."

He asks what she is doing.

She replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by painting the house.

He then asks her why she has on a ski jacket and a fur coat.

She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and they said, "For best results, put on two coats."

critical steps in sales success

It's been said often, "Some folks can't seem to see the forest for the trees." Perhaps that's true in any arena, but it seems that it's rampant in sales, especially when sales are down. Time after time, when sales start to fall we find sales people becoming so caught up in the "slump" that they fail to focus on the four critical steps to consistent sales success.

Sales people tend to be motivated by immediate gratification. Those who have been in sales successfully for years understand that seeds planted today come to fruition later. Although there are moments of immediate gratification, frequently the fruition will take time. Motivational speeches are, perhaps, that little nudge to focus them not on the slump, but on the outcome.

Let's define the four critical steps to sales success, in order to re-establish successful habits. Mind you now, once you read this you'll know just how simple sales success can be, if only you'll focus on these four items and ignore all other distractions.

Question One: If your income comes from sales, are you making as much as you want or need?

If you answered, yes - Stop reading! You obviously are practicing the fundamental principles that create success and reading further is a distraction. Go back to doing what you do best.

If, on the other hand, you answered No - then you don't have enough sales. Sales create income and not enough income equals not enough sales. Solution - go get more sales.

Now, I know from making hundreds of presentations to countless sales professionals, some of you are a bit perplexed at my simplistic approach. How, you say, do we just go get more sales? We'll get to that, but for now stick with me. The first step is increasing your sales volume - Simple. There is nothing hard about this concept. It is critical to grasp, however, because the solution is always to the left. That statement will make sense a bit later.

Question Two: If you don't have enough sales to support your income needs, then aren't you lacking in enough people to see - enough presentations or appointments?

This one seems obvious. If you are not generating enough sales volume either you lack people to see (enough appointments) or your closing skills need improvement. More times than not, the issue isn't just closing skills, its people to present to and close.

Let's look at this two ways: (1) if you are having trouble setting appointments from your leads (which, by the way is closing), then you will have more trouble closing the sale when you do make a presentation; and (2) inadequate presentations will always result in inadequate sales.

So let's look at our matrix thus far. Remember the solution is always to the left!

PRESENTATIONS = SALES = YOUR INCOME

Question Three: If I don't have enough presentations, then how many leads do you have in your pipeline?

Well, I don't know. Probably enough! Really? Ask yourself this question; do you suspect that highly successful business people guess at their income or assets? Better still, if you were having surgery tomorrow would you want the person administering the anesthesia to guess at the amount? Of course not! Then, why would you guess about your leads?

Let's go back...remember the solution is always to the left. Look at the matrix again.

LEADS = PRESENTATIONS = SALES = YOUR INCOME

So are those the four things?

No - those are three things that help to generate your income. Your income is the outcome and we've just identified three of the four critical steps to success. So what is the fourth?

Question Four: Since you've identified that lead deficiency is a problem, what's the solution?
Good question! Any building built on a weak foundation is subject to crumble. Likewise, any sales professional who misses the foundation of sales success will struggle and, likely fail. This foundation is prospecting.

True sales professionals do four things: (1) prospect for leads; (2) develop the leads they identify; (2) make sales presentations; and (4) close sales. Each of those represents the four critical steps to sales success.Remember the solution is always to the left!

PROSPECTING = LEADS = PRESENTATIONS = SALES = YOUR INCOME!

Sales success requires constant attention to the four critical steps to success.

appreciate our life

Moral of the story: To make money we loose our health and then to restore our health we loose money. We live as if we are never going to die and we die as if we never lived.

U don't know how good your life is...

if you think you are unhappy, look at them if you think your job is tough, how about him? if you think your salary is low, how about her?

If you think you don't have many friend's

you think study is a burden, how about her?

when you feel like giving up, think of this man

if you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

if you complaint about your transport system, how about them?

if your society is unfair to you, how about her?

" That which is beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful"

Where can we go to find God if we cannot see him in our hearts & in every living being.

Blonde jokes

OK, so there's this blonde driving down the road in her brand new, candy-apple red, $125,000 Lamborghini. She's cruisin' about 95, radio blaring, having a great time. She comes up on this trucker who is carrying a double-wide home and is taking up both lanes. To her disliking, he is only going about 45. To get the point across that she wants to get past, she decides to tailgate him. So, she gets to within a foot of his rear bumper. The trucker looks back and sees her on his ass, and motions for her to get off of it, but to her it looks like a wave and she waves back. Since her first attempt was futile, she decided to get a little closer and begin flashing her headlights, hopefully making herself more visible in the process. Once again the trucker sees her on his ass, and this time motions for her to pull over to the side of the road.

The trucker steps out of his vehicle with a chunk of chalk and draws a circle three feet in diameter in the middle of the road. He instructs her not to move until he tells her to. Naive as she was, she agrees to it and steps inside it.

The trucker goes back to his truck and pulls out a 50-ounce Louisville Slugger. He walks over to the Lamborghini and beats it, and beats it, and beats it again. When he is done, all that is left is a brand new, candy-apple red, $125,000 pile of metal. Satisfied, he throws the bat in his truck and walks over to the blonde. When he gets there, to his astonishment, she is rolling around on the street laughing hysterically. He asks her, "Why are you laughing? I just beat the crap out of your car!!" She is laughing too hard to respond, but between giggles he can make out, "While you weren't looking I stepped out of the circle!"

Newly Wed Rules

A couple were married and, following the wedding, the husband laid down some rules. "I'll be home when I want, if I want, and at what time I want," he insisted. "And, I don't expect any hassle from you. Also, I expect a decent meal to be on the table every evening, unless I tell you otherwise. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing, and card-playing with my buddies whenever I want. Those are my rules," he said. "Any comments?" His new bride replied, "No, that's fine with me. But, just understand that there'll be sex here at seven o'clock every night... whether you're here or not."

Unmask the Three Thieves of Peace

Following is a list for special Self-study to help get you started up the path of spiritual freedom. After a careful review of these peace stealing conditions, take time to make a list of your own. Keep it simple. Use casual observations of yourself and others around you to be a spiritual detective.

1. One of the first thieves of our peace is spending time thinking about what others are thinking about us. Can we see that the only reason we are concerned with what others may be thinking about us is due to an imagined fear that they may have some power to take away what we are clinging to for our equally imagined peace? Let go! No one has the power to take peace away from you. It isn't theirs to give!

2. Another thief of peace is building a "case" against anyone for any reason. No one can steal our peace, so finding fault with another for how we feel is like falling asleep under the sun and then blaming it for the burn we get! Drop whatever you have been tricked into resenting and watch peace return to take its place.

3. And last but not least, another common thief of peace is trying to measure ourselves. For instance, have you ever noticed how, most of the time, we cannot have a conversation with someone without walking away and measuring our own performance? Even walking through a supermarket we wonder whether people are looking at us or not, and then we act accordingly. Step out of these mental movies; their producer is the misery of self-measuring. Let go because you know that it's impossible to be self-conscious and also be at peace.

There are many other ways in which our peace is stolen, such as when we find ourselves caught up in the excited anticipation of something, good or bad, coming our way or in the endless comparison of our lives to those of others -- friends and strangers alike! Hoping to find a sense of peace in any form of comparison or anticipation is like waiting for a dark, overhead thundercloud to rain sunlight. We must aim to be this honest with ourselves in each moment.

For extra benefit, and as a way to amplify the impact of these lessons, take a piece of paper and write down on the top of it: "Known or Possible Suspects Who Are Stealing My Peace." Then make a list of those thoughts, feelings, habits, or beliefs you have that you think need closer observation. This simple exercise will help you to exorcise those inner thieves that are intent on stealing your contentment.

Say No to "Excuses"

So, we all have excuses in life that we fall back on time and time again. Maybe because of difficult upbringings, or hardships, certain beliefs have laid their imprint on you. Excuses keep you from venturing forward, in that they keep you safe from possible heartbreak. Having an excuse excuses you from facing the truth, while keeping you in your comfort zone. Maybe someone uses the excuse that they never have enough time. Sound familiar? Then, they create a lifestyle that feeds into this excuse. They keep extremely busy, they overcommit themselves, they take on far too many responsibilities. Then they tell themselves "See, I told you I never have enough time". Well their wish is granted. Others tell themselves that they will always be overweight, it's just in their genes. Because they believe this excuse, they continue to eat unhealthy foods and stray from exercise. Why bother, they tell themselves, if they are always going to be out of shape anyway. This plays into the victim mentality. Not very empowering.

What if you didn't have any excuses to fall back on? What if you took responsibility for all of your choices and all of the subsequent consequences? Would this make your life harder in that you would have to venture out there and face some of your fears? Or, would it make you stronger and more confident because you would be taking responsibility for all of your actions? You wouldn't be using excuses as your safety net. In order to move past your excuses, you first have to admit you have them in the first place. This is the difficult part. Once you've admitted that you don't need to be overweight for the rest of your life, then you need to do something about it. Something to think about.

Great Painting

A bottle that looks like it is coming out the side of the trailer.

The second is a canvas tote bag

The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty

The fourth is of a truck with the windshield facing the back, and there has been a driver painted in the drivers
seat looking back over his shoulder to appear like he is driving backwards:

The fifth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it

The sixth one is of a bookshelf with books lined up in it, and a post it note with an advertisement

The last one is for Pringles Hot & Spicy. The side of the trailer has the appearance
of having been through a fire that has ravaged the truck's interior

Sense of Humor

As the world move in fast pace, every country, government, private and public institution, every CEO, and people at large in this universe strive for their ultimate dreams, one might forget the importance of strong society around us. Few days ago, many might notice one of the country's major headliner, a mother kill her own daughter and then went to the police to report her daugther is missing. Is she insane? Do we play some part when this social problem occur? When prime minister keep stressing that we will achieve the Vision 2020 and so many other visions, social problem also keep increasing. Look at Johor, locals and tourists mainly from Singapore does not feel safe. To me, that was a shame to the country. Anyway, i seldom talk on the politics, i bring this out because i encounter one very "touching" advertisement from UNICEF...take a look:

So, start love your family members more, i know everybody in this world is busy but spend some time with your loves one, what if you're damn rich but not able to spend "quality" time with your family? There is no right or wrong, just my perception. Adios!!!

Are you prepare for success?

You have just won the lottery! Congratulations! This is exactly what you've wished for and you finally won! You are so excited. But, are you prepared? Do you have a great financial advisor picked out? If not, how will you choose one that you can trust? Do you know how you'll invest the money so it lasts and makes money for you to secure your future? Do you know how you'll upgrade your life and how much it will cost for each improvement? Have you envisioned how you might use the money to better mankind or the earth? Do you know how to think like a millionaire?

You've finally been selected for that promotion you've wanted for years. You are so excited: new title, fancy office, fat paycheck, and one of your perks is your own executive coach! (Okay, so I had to plug that one in.) Everything you've been working for has finally paid off. Are you ready for the hard work ahead? Are you ready for the increase in responsibility? Have you considered how you want to be known in this new position - your new brand - and how you want others to treat you? Have you developed your delegating, organization, and time management skills so you don't find yourself working 60 hours a week? Are you able to communicate your vision and the outcomes you seek clearly and effectively? Are you intimidated by titles and high-powered individuals or do you have the self-confidence and the ability to speak up for yourself when you have something to share? Have you learned how to handle your emotions with style and grace or do you still get ugly when you're frustrated or angry?

Perhaps instead of money or title, you've just met the man or woman of your dreams. You are so happy, so in love. Are you ready to be in love, in joy, and in happiness every day for the rest of your life? Are you ready to give up the single's life and stop "searching" and complaining about how hard it is to find someone...? Do you have the "space" in your time to spend with this person? Are you prepared to let go of control, of having things your way, and are you open to explore new possibilities that includes someone else? Are you willing to accept someone as they are without trying to mold them into someone you think they should be? Are you ready to embrace partnership and commit to creating an extraordinary relationship? This means, you have to be an extraordinary person and partner. Have you done the personal development work and are you willing to continue to work on yourself as you grow in love with this person?

Whatever it is you think you want, you need to prepare for success. Whatever your vision for success, while you are working on achieving it, you must also grow yourself into the kind of person you need to be in order to manage that success.

When you finally get what you want, you find yourself in new territory. What you had was familiar; whether it was comfortable or not, it was within your comfort zone and you were accustomed to living that way. When you achieve something new, be it a degree or promotion or new relationship, you have to "be" different. People struggle with this so much because mostly we know how to "do". But the reality is that if you have not experienced true love in your adult life and it finally knocks on your door, how will you recognize it? Will you be able to embrace it and then maintain this new way of life? If you've been broke for 30 years and now you're rich, can you handle the wealth responsibly so that wealth becomes your new way of life? What if you were finally healthy after 10 years of an illness? You will need to accept health as a new way of life and live differently now that you are able to be more active. Or what if you were finally thin after being overweight for 25 years? You'll be a different person; how will you handle the looks and attention from others? Will you be ready to embrace the "thin you"? Can give up the emotional baggage that comes with holding onto that excess weight and learn to appreciate your body and feel good about yourself?

Laughter is the Universal Language

"Laugh, and the world laughs with you..." Maybe instead of the fast-track, we should get on the laugh-track.

Many might argue that love is the universal language, not laughter. Can you look at someone and absolutely know that their thoughts are loving ones? Does everyone look the same when they feel love in its various forms? Not really. You can look at someone laughing and recognize it for what it is. Love is not always "contagious," but laughter often is.

What caused me to think about this is my friend's life partner whom I've known for nearly eight years. There are many good things I could say about him; but as many times as I'd been a guest in their home, he and I never really related. In fact, I'll make this about me and say that I just wasn't able to connect energetically with him...until the night of laughter mentioned in an earlier column, but from a different perspective.

The moment that linked our energies is etched into my mind. I was downstairs when he did something upstairs that sent me into bouts of belly-laughs. When I heard him respond to my laughter with his own, I literally felt the energy click into place. I walked upstairs and over to where he sat, both of us still laughing, and felt a wall between us lift. At that moment, it wasn't intellectual dialogue or commonalities that linked us, it was laughter, the great equalizer. I'm not going to say that we now sit and gab with each other like old friends; but both of us are aware that something changed. My own comfort level around him is far more relaxed.

We attempt many methods to connect with the diverse groups we share our planet with because it's not always simple with so many language and cultural (and perceived) differences. Perhaps what we need to do from time-to-time is find a way to laugh together. Difficult to imagine political leaders starting a serious discussion with, say, a Charlie Chaplin film where words are not needed. Maybe laughing for an hour with someone, seeing how much we have and might have in common, may cause both sides to pause before considering harming each other. We know that laughter heals. If we used it more often, we could possibly detoxify our individual bodies, minds, and spirits, as well as our global aspects.

Start smiling today!!Enjoy your weekend.

5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
6. Do the math, count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray . If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and he can certainly use you!

Why You Should Aim For The Stars

Our upbringing, schooling, tertiary education, family, work colleagues, community, friends; virtually all of our surroundings have an influence on who and what we are.

I'm sure you are aware of many of the restrictions that are inflicted upon you on a daily basis; some unavoidable such as paying taxes and some totally avoidable such as the restrictions we place upon ourselves. In the early days we were generally conditioned negatively from outside sources such as "You can't do that!" or "No one in our family has ever done this before" on the home front. On the work front we were motivated by fear i.e. do what you are told to immediately or lose your job. Man, what a waste!!!

As a result many of us carry these ideas around with us and are convinced that their mediocre style and standards are in fact, "the only way". Well, it can be if that's all you can see. But as people, we have one thing that no other creature on this earth has; that of choice. We can choose our surroundings, if we so desire. We choose our friends, careers etc. We even choose what books and ezines we read. If you don't want my ezine anymore you simply choose not to receive it and your life goes forth without Topliving. It's that simple. It really is that simple!!!

Everything we do either voluntarily or otherwise stems from our thoughts within our mind. Sadly, most of us choose to only use a small percentage of our potential mainly due to pre-conditioned thought patterns. If you are not encouraged to think and make the best for yourself you will need to develop these thought patterns on your own.

Yes, you've probably heard it all before that there is a vast amount of untapped potential within us all simply waiting for the "on" or "start" button to be pressed, but how does one know if one has this so called potential?

This is probably one of the easiest questions in the world to answer actually. If you yearn for more than you have, if you seek to better your lifestyle, if you wish to become more successful than you currently are then you have already begun to utilise these resources from within. Like anything, when tapping into something new it takes time to learn and as your experience grows your sub-conscious will lead you in the direction that you are really looking to head, upwards!!!

WHY SHOULD YOU REALLY AIM FOR THE STARS???

You will probably receive about 50 years of adult life if everything goes to plan and you get to live to a ripe old age. This means after you've reached adulthood each year thereafter will cost you 2% of your allotted time on this planet. Gone!!! Forever!!! Never to return!!! Don't you owe it to yourself to be the best you possibly can at what you do? Why not go after it now?

The rewards are limited only by your imagination. It's not necessarily greed that drives people to aim for the stars. Your targets could be somewhat different to becoming financially independent in the next six months. For example you may wish to run the marathon in under 3 hours; make the state basketball or cricket team or any of a plethora of other possibilities. Whatever you decide to target make absolutely sure that you tap into as much positive energy along the way to assist you in every regard...

Think Successfully.

Don't Send Your Ducks to Eagle School

Don't send your ducks to eagle school. Why? Because it won't work. Good people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you can't change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them.

Motivation is a mystery. Why are some people motivated and some are not? Why does one salesperson see his first prospect at seven in the morning while the other sees his first prospect at eleven in the morning? Why would one start at seven and the other start at eleven? I don't know. Call it "mysteries of the mind."

How often in the street we heard of this, "I'm going to change my life." Another walks out with a yawn and says, "I've heard all this stuff before." Why is that?

The wealthy man says to a thousand people, "I read this book, and it started me on the road to wealth." Guess how many of the thousand go out and get the book? Answer: very few. Isn't that incredible? Why wouldn't everyone go get the book? Mysteries of the mind...

To one person, you have to say, "You'd better slow down. You can't work that many hours, do that many things, go, go, go. You're going to have a heart attack and die." And to another person, you have to say, "When are you going to get off the couch?" What is the difference?

Why wouldn't everyone strive to be wealthy and happy?Chalk it up to mysteries of the mind, and don't waste your time trying to turn ducks into eagles. Hire people who already have the motivation and drive to be eagles and then just let them soar.

Management Lesson (Chapter 10)

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she can utter a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few moments, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes upstairs. When she passes the bathroom, her husband yells, "Who was that?" "It was Bob from next door," she replies.
"Oh," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It read, 'Go forth and seek further; and ye shall find glory.'

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a profitable opportunity

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."

"Me first! Me first!" says the administration clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of PiÃa Coladas and the love of my life." Puff! He's gone.

"Okay, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager immediately replied, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

Attitude and Attraction: Inevitable Laws of the Universe

How often in our lives we heard of the following tagline, "It's just uncanny", "but every month, somehow, he pulls it off". He just never misses his sales targets. I just don't get it. What is he doing differently?" That question was asked with passion and a certain frustration, because the person he was referring to just didn't appear to be any brighter or different from other people in the same position. Yet, he never misses his quotas.

Just what is this law? Like attracts like. We attract whatever we give our attention to, whether we like it or not. Stated differently, when we think a certain thought we attract like thoughts to us. It seems so simple, yet it is so profound. In fact, the only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don't want than what they do want.

The guy who never missed understood the law of attraction. He focused on success. It never crossed his mind that he would do anything but achieve. There was never a doubt. Further, he surrounded himself with like people. In addition, he allowed other people to focus on the problems and other distractions while he focused on achieving the quotas.

Creating what we want is the law of attraction at work. What greater gift than the real awareness that we are in control. In Mariah Carey's song, "Make it Happen" she states, "If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want, You're gonna make it happen!" What a profound statement and affirmation of the glorious law of attraction.

Sure Steps to a Brighter Life

"In the long run, our attitude towards life's lessons - and the direction our life takes in life - are one and the same; show me someone who resists the Light of Life's correction in the course of his or her soul, and I will show you someone whose destiny is the darkness of total self-enclosure."

Even though the Truth is never further away from us than our wish for its awakening and self-healing insight, there are distinct moments in life when it comes closer to us than others. Unfortunately, almost all of these important, potentially life-changing moments are entirely missed because what is wrong with us, our false nature, always sees Truth as an attacking enemy. Let me show you what I mean so that the next time Truth makes an unexpected appearance in your life you will recognize it for what it is a friendly and beneficial force that is on your side. Permitting the Truth to do what it is intended to do will permit you to be what you want to be , which is happy.

Never are the healing powers of the Truth so close by as when a crisis is at hand. A crisis always precedes any real inner-advancement because real spiritual growth is a process of removing self-blocking thoughts and feelings. The reason a crisis must precede each new level of authentic self-unity is that the crisis, whatever it may be, points out where we have been holding onto a particular belief, a shaky pretense, or some flattering but deceptive self-image that is in conflict with reality. Where there is conflict there is always pain; and by the time this unconscious kind of psychological or emotional pain reaches the level of our consciousness, we generally experience it as some kind of a crisis. This explains why a crisis is a close encounter of the truthful kind. The previously invisible internal conflict, which is always at the root of any personal crisis, is now temporarily visible. We can say this in another way. A crisis arises when some inner-lie we have unconsciously been telling ourselves is about to surface and be seen as a lie. Let's take an example or two.

Maybe a man pictures himself as always being in control of his own life, but now he's suddenly aware that he can't stop drinking, talking or endlessly worrying. He has reached a turning point.

A woman has always thought of herself as being loving and kind, but all at once she begins to notice how critical and cruel her thoughts are towards others. She sees she only does things for others to have them think of her as being kind, and this fills her day with resentments. She has reached a turning point.

In both instances, where the terrible cost of living from lying but flattering self-images has suddenly become conscious, the only alternative that the false self has, as the author of these self-deceptive lies, is to start blaming everyone and everything for the unhappy circumstances. This system of self-subterfuge is almost fail-safe for the false self. By seeing to it that everything outside of it is constantly laid to blame, it keeps you fighting with life instead of learning from it. It is really very cunning. The more you take the side of defending what is wrong in you, the more the Truth that exposed the unconscious wrongness appears to be against you.

The Truth never causes pain. The only pain in a crisis is the false self's resistance to the Truth. A crisis only becomes a breaking point when we fail to use it as a turning point. In order to transform a crisis into a personal turning point in your life, you must wish to be shown the lesson in the crisis rather than allow yourself to be convinced by it that the world is against you. This Higher Wish, followed by your willingness to endure a new kind of pain, gives birth to a Higher Consciousness in you that belongs to your True Nature. This Elevated Consciousness never has to solve a crisis because it never has one in the first place.

Are we still on the right track?

We just reached the half way point of 2007.

Six months of 2007 are gone.

Six months of 2007 remain.

How are you doing on your Goals?

Are you on track to reach them?

The sad reality is that the vast majority of people won't even take another look at their Goals again until January 1st, 2008.And then, they will set the same Goals in the same way and probably experience the same results.

Not very exciting, huh?

They are the same in America, Canada, Mexico, Italy, England, Australia, in every country on every continent anywhere in the world.

My ultimate goal still yet to be reached. Invest the next six months taking clear, decisive action towards creating momentum towards reaching your goals. Make the next six months the foundation, the road map needed to bring your deepest desires to life. Spend the next six months learning the process of setting yourself up for Success one Goal at a time, one step at a time.

"An average person with average talent, ambition and education, can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused Goals." -Brian Tracy

There are 525,600 minutes in a year.

262,800 are gone.

262,800 remain.

What you do with the remaining minutes of 2007 will determine the course of the rest of the year... and the rest of your life.

In the meantime, think about your Goals and Dreams and what you really want for your life.

Live Your Dreams
