Browsers

Getting a real good browser, go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html. Read about it. It has so many great features and it FREE. I don’t get a cent because I recommend it, but I feel good that it will help you enjoy the Internet a better.
I’ll give you one thing I really like about Fire Fox and that is you can save URL’s and here is how you do it. Once you activate Fire Fox, and that is pretty easy, you go to the address bar and put in a URL you want to visit. If you want to get to another URL, but don’t want to lose the first one you just click on file in the upper left hand corner and a drop down will fill in under file. If I am ahead of you just be patient.
The second thing in the drop down is new tab and click on it. Then go to the address bar and key in the URL you want to see. Under the address bar you will see the first URL address you were at. When you want to go back to it just click on it and it will come back.
You can have many URL’s just waiting for you to go back to. This can save you time in using the Internet. This is just one of the many things Fire Fox can help you with.
In a recent article I read that Fir Fox is still the best overall browser and it can take you right into Gmail. I’ll cover Gmail later and you will find out it is amazing.

Is it passion or desire?

There are lots of ideas on what is the different about passion versus desire. You know it all depends on where you are in life. To me passion is something that is burning need to do something or be part of something, while desire is something you want and will drive hard to get tit.

Here is a short story about Bud. He was in a family of seven four boys and three grills. He was the third oldest in the family. His three other brothers where all much taller then him. Bud was five foot eight inch’s, while two of his brothers where over six foot two inch’s and the other was six foot even. The point of this as the story as it unfolds you will see that what make people achieve their desire is a strong passion for what they want to do. Size has nothing to do about it.

In Bud’s case he was also very bright. He saw the future not like many others saw it but he saw the furure as full of opportunities. To get where he wanted to go he had to learn to set goals, which he do. In fact he was very good at smart goal setting. Setting personal goals became important to Bud achieving his desire and passion, he want to have his own business.

Bud didn’t want his business for prestige, though that came as his business prospered. What drove Bud was to do things that people told him he couldn’t’ do. Do achieve is goal of having a successful business he had to a lot of time management planning.

Bud at an early age he had a passion to climb the unthinkable. Bud though driven to achieve his goals, never forgot to take time to smile and smell the roses. He also never forgot his friends. When they had a friend in need Bub would be the first one lend a helping hand.

Bud loved fellowship. When he was younger he played baseball and basket ball with his buddies and latter enjoyed bowling and golf with friends.

You can have strong passion and desire, but as Bud demonstrated you also can enjoy the journey while striving for you passion .

Learning to be funny

Yesterday I spend wonderful morning learning about how to be funny at the Florida Speakers Associ
ations meeting. Andy Dooley was the speaker and is topic was “Show Me the Funny!”
Not to be too critical but Andy is just funny to look at. Then he went into his running story about how he can feel the wind blow throw his hair, he has no hair. The morning went on just like that, along with things you can do that makes things funnier.

Here is one and you can try it. It is called the rule of three. What this means is you say two things that make sense, but the third one is of the wall. Here are some examples. They have these dresses in small, medium and tent, or this one from Lucille Ball. There secret of staying young is to live if to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about you age. The rule of three almost always will get you a laugh.
If you don’t get a laugh you can try these save yourself comments. Whoever said, “Silence is golden” never tried comedy. Or just try “Oh will” and move one.

Andy had an ice breaker and it was called Sip, Sap, and Sop and here how it worked. Your get about seven people in a circle all facing one another, then you aims at someone and say sip and then the person who go the sip aims there had at someone and say sap then that person aims their hand at someone and says sop. The groups keep doing these till someone make a mistake. When that happens everyone claps. The Sip, sap Sop starts over. Each time getting faster and faster till everyone stops with laughter. Sip. Sap, Sop sound dump and it is, but sure gets everyone involved.

Andy had much more to teach us about being funny and i'll share more of what he taught us at a later time.

Remember people are happier and remember more when their laughing.

It is good to be happy

When you are happy people want to be around you. These people are happy people to and that is good. When you are around people that are happy and positive it only helps you.

You don’t want to be around grumpy and negative people, because all they want to do is drag you down to their level. I don’t think you want that, so make sure you are around happy, positive people it is healthy for you.

Here is the second reason to be happy, by being happy you are not as stressed as unhappy and negative folks. Stress lowers your immune system and when it is lower you are more susceptible to getting sick. You don’t want to get sick, so be happy.

Being happy and positive give you a better chance of living a longer and healthy life. Researchers that studies the dairies of the Nuns of Norte Dame in Milwaukee found that the ones that had more positive comments in their dairies live an average of eight years longer than those that had more negative comments in their dairies. The nuns lived in Milwaukee from the nineteen thirties up to early two thousands.

Happy and positive people attack happy positive people. Micki, my wife is such a person. Everyone loves here and she is almost always laughing. When she is on the phone you hear a lot of laughing. Yes happy people laugh a lot. Boy did I get lucky to find Micki. She has been a great inspiration to me.

Happy people are good for you to be around. Being happy helps you from being sick. And finally being happy can help you have a longer and enjoyable life. That’s not bad.

Go out and be happy it is good for you.

So you want to get energized?

Wanting to get energized is only the beginning. You number one have to move, yes I said move. Get off the couch and start moving. Using your fingers to change channels on the remote control is not the kind of movement I am talking about.

I am talking about real movement. How about jogging, but if that is too hard for you walk. You don’t have to go to the track to walk if that’s what you decide to do. How about the next time you go to the store don’t park right in front of the store ,but at the back of the parking lot. If you have to go up at couple of stories in a building take the stairs.

You don’t have to go in an Olympic training program to get energized, but being active is a great start. As a writer I am in front of the computer a good part of the day, so here is what I do at least twice an hour I get up and walk down the stairs and back. I might even to a little stretching.

So keeping active is a big step in being energized, but there is more. Eat right. A pizza once in a while is OK but not a regular diet of it. Do and I mean do have breakfast. Some whole wheat cereal, skin milk and some fruit, I personally like a small glass of V-8 juice along with my cereal and fruit. Once in a while I’ll have a fried egg, but I use olive oil in the pan.

Lunch should not be two quarter pounders, fries, and a shake. How about a salad with grilled chicken now that makes for a good lunch. But don’t load the salad with some high fat salad dressing, but rather put on a little olive oil and vinegar.
Personally I am off diet drinks; rather I either drink water or no-sweeten ice tea. Believe it or not once you get in to the swing of this kind of eating it pretty good and you’ll find you don’t put on those extra pounds.

I’ll let you figure dinner out, but here is a suggestion. Low fat, low sugar, green veggies and good protein, by eating like this you can’t go wrong.

Now for the sleeping end of energizing yourself, try to keep regular hour and have at least eight hours a sleep a day.

In summary be active, eat will and get a good night’s sleep. By living this life style you will find you have more energy than you have ever had.

Knowing where we live

We live in universe so large I don’t think anyone can begin to contemplate how large it really is. Why would I even bring up such a thought? Last night I was at the Buehler Planetarium on the campus of Broward College. It is equipped with the latest digital projection system. You can go back in time or move ahead in time to see the sky looked like then.

Everything was so exciting. When we were shown how far radio ways have gone out in space, it was amazing. We have been sending out radio waves for seventy plus years. Radio waves go at the speed of light so they have gone a long way out inspace, but the waves haven’t even gone one tenth of one percent into the universe.

We saw what the whole universe looks like; will as much as we can see today. Then we were shown where the Milky Way was and it wasn’t even a pin head in size and that is our whole galaxy. The breath of the Milky Way is millions of light years across, but it looked smaller that a bin head. That is just mind boggling.

We found out why the North Star stays in the same place in the sky. Did you know you can’t see the North Star in the southern hemisphere?

The whole experience of seeing the planetarium is so humbling. When I left I reminded myself that I am still here on earth and I have a life to live so going to enjoy what I have and give back more than I have received.

Go to a planetarium it is humbling, but rewarding to know that we a part of the most amazing universe.

Do you want a great day or a bad day?

You know it is your choice, so let’s start by having a bad day. When you get up in the morning tell yourself that things are not going to go good today, that works every time. You have just wired yourself in a negative mood and as the day progresses you will find you self talk is working, because things aren’t going good.

It is like you get what you wish for. Now you can take the approach and get up with a smile on your face and tell yourself that it is going to be a great day. You will find that using positive self talk you will have a great day.

Positive self talk is such a powerful tool. Instead of thinking and saying d negative things, think and say positive things. Your mind picks up on the negative or positive, so when you use positive thoughts the mind will react in a positive way.
You can look at in different way, we are what we think. By thinking positive you are program yourself to be positive. Others like to be around positive people. Positive people are up lifting and make others feel good.

When others fell good you feel good. It a cycle that help build you and others in very positive way. Now when you tell you self is going to be a great day you chances are you will have a great day and be looking forward to a life time of great days. Doesn’t that give you reason enough to take the positive direction with your life.

One last thought positive in generally live longer than negative people. So start every morning with saying it is going to be great day and live a long and healthy life.

This makes for a great day

Today I and a very good friend, Doug, went back in memory lane. Seven years ago Doug and I started to play golf after over twenty years of not playing. Doug did not want to go to any fancy golf courses, because he didn’t think his games wasn’t good enough and he was right and you know my wasn’t either.

Doug found these public courses that was in expenses and did not have many people playing on it in the afternoons so that’s when we played. There was several draw backs to this golf courses. One the green were so slow that you had to hit golf ball like you hitting your driver and there were as many weeds in the greens as there was grass. Second the fairways weren’t as good looking as a cow pasture.

We played at this golf course for two years and actually got use to it. I was a member of Country Club and I finally convinced to play with me there. The green were wonderful and the fairway didn’t look like a cow pasture. It didn’t take Doug long to get use a fine golf course, so he joined for the summer.

Doug being really conservative with money did not join as regular member after the first summer, but instead joined for another summer the following year. At the end of that summer membership he joined as regular member.

Doug and I never thought we would ever go back and play at old golf course that was in disrepair, but we did because our golf course is being total rebuilt and when finished will be a real show place and a fabulous golf course. There is one problem Doug and I joined another country Club for the summer, but the summer member ship ran out before our course was finished

Doug and I still wanted to play golf, so guess what today we went out to the old golf course we started at seven years ago. The course did change; it is en more disrepair.
You know something the bad shape of the course didn’t bother Doug or me. The day was so beautiful and we both hit the ball so much better than we did seven years ago it was just fun being together laughing and joking and without a doubt having the time of our lives.

What was so wonderful is that we weren’t thinking about the past but just enjoying the present

Where are you going

Do you know where your’ going? As in the Wizard Os if you don’t know where your’ going any road will get you there. I don’t think that is what most people want.

You want and have and passion for something, that is a great start to getting to where you want to go. There is more once you have the passion and desire you have to have a plan to achieve it.

In most plans there is going to be a learning component. You will need knowledge to achieve your desire. Let’s call you passion you personal goal.

Many times you will find as you work towards your goal that it will change ad that alright. The reason it can change as you gain more knowledge you can see more and want to achieve more.

So where are you going. Do you have a passion, desire or goal that you want to achieve, because if you don’t then you’ll never get there. Why go through all this work? The main reason is for you to have meaning in your life you have to put your personal mark on how you impacted the world.

That may sound too grand but it is true. We all have something within us that is truly unique and when we develop it and help and show others we make this a better world.

My challenge to you is if you haven’t found your unique strength that can have a positive impact on others go out and find it. If you know you unique strength keeps developing it and you will find that the world will be a better place because of you.

It is a great feeling to know that you have had positive impact on others. So go out and be everything you can be the world will be a better place because of you.

How to stay married

How about this, being in love with your partner? That is a real good start, but that is just the beginning. Trust is a big thing and trust is something you earn every day. With out trust there is doubt and it is hard to trust your spouse if you have doubt. Here is where the earning comes in you can’t do things that could bring doubt with you partner.

Staying out late more than would be acceptable or not giving you spouse the attention that is needed. So trust is key element for a good marriage.
Doing the little things. Be a partner with you spouse. Help with dishes, do the things your spouse cares about with out being told. Remembering the little and big things and make a big deal out of them.

We all need to feel wanted so show your spouse that she is most special person in your life. Bring something home that she likes, with out being told. That is a big one. Everyone likes to have some special recognition so why not your spouse.
Do the unexpected from time to time. Take her to her favorite place for dinner or give her that back rub she loves, but do something that is not expected.

Share your dreams. It could be your dream house or a dream vacation. It doesn’t matter what as long as you both are sharing the same dream. By sharing your dreams you are strengthening your marriage relationship and that is another step to not only staying married, but to have a very loving and enjoyable one.

Care for your partner. When their sick take special care of them. When they feel blue listen to them, because when they talked about it, it helps them fell better.
Some people go together for years before marriage on other like Micki and I feel in love on second sight and have been married for over 45 years. Yes we have had our ups and downs, but after a down we always come back stronger.

Do some of things I suggested to you and you will be on you way to a loving and happy marriage. I’ll give you more ideas some other time.

Do people change

Last night was very interesting. My high school class of 1959 is having or 50th reunion. Friday nigh was as causal get to gather, tonight is the main event as might say.

There had to 40 people at the causal get to gather and I most say there were just a few that I could recognize, let alone remember their names. Despite this lack of remembering it was a great evening.

As I started to talk with people the memory started to kick in gear. It was funny we didn’t get into what we did in high school, but what we are doing now. Tom is the superintend of a very large school district and has to put in ten hour day just to keep up. He things it is getting too much and might call it quits when his contract if over. I am also funny that we graduated from Eastern Michigan University at the same graduation ceremony.

It is interesting that those that I talked with that either were working or were involved in something that they had a real passion for seemed the happiest. They want you to know how they were doing, but they also wanted to know how I was doing.
It proves that people that keep their minds active stay younger and have minds that are sharp and alert.

Tonight there will be nametags and this will be a great help to me. Tonight I won’t have to call most people hey you. I think people like to be called by their name and the nametags will certainly help.

Though some of my classmates look older than I think they should, but after talking with them you find out there minds are still sharp.

Tonight should be a very enjoyable evening and it my hope that we will talk about

Happiness brings Success

Happiness brings success for many reasons. Look at it this way do you want to be around a grump, I know I sure don’t. When your’ happy you have more energy. This lets you do so many things that can build your success.

When your happy you feel better you are more likely to open your mind to opportunities at work, play and in your personal live. That doesn’t sound so bad, does it?

How we think about happiness and success has profound impact on how we live our lives. When we think of success it leads to happiness and we are motivated to focus on success.

A study of that had participants put in to positive and negative moods and then comparing their behavior. Here is what the positive people were likely to do.

1. Talk to others
2. Be interested in leisure activities
3. Enjoy social interactions and leisure activities more
4. Resolve conflicts effectively
5. Help others
6. Feel healthier
7. Be more creative
8. Perform complex tasks better
9. Have confidence in our own abilities

Happiness brings success, success brings confidence, and if this isn’t reason enough to be happy I don’t know what will turn you on happiness.

When you make wrong turn and can still get to where you wanted to go with out losing any time that is when things are going well. That happened to day on our way to Micki’s high school buddy. I got to know Mary in College because of Micki. Micki was in her wedding and Mary was in ours. Her husband Dick is one of the best.

I don’t want to bore you, but I have to tell you this story. Micki was about eight months pregnant with our first son Skip and Mary, Dick, Micki and myself drove to private camping and hunting club called Loss Lakes Woods, which is near Alpena Michigan. We road in Dick’s new Corvair convertible to Loss Lakes Woods, Micki had to sit the front because of here condition.

Here is the funny part Mary’s mother insisted she and Burt come along in case Micki had Skip early. By the way Mary’s mother is not a doctor. Mary, Dick, Micki and I sleep in Mary and Dick’s pop up trailer. Mick didn’t need Mary’s mother help, but it was nice to have her and Burt along. We played and lot of gin and Burt being a champion gin player taught us a load about gin.

When you have friends like Dick and Mary it make live so enjoyable.

You have to laugh

Last night we were at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, Michigan. It is right across for Ford Motor Company’s world headquarters. It is a Hugh hotel. Everyone was so nice to us. Going up the elevator a maintains guys road up with us and I kidded him if we were going to have a problem getting to the fourth floor and he laughed and said no.

Later when we got back to our room it was 62 degrees. After trying to get the heater on I gave up and called the hotel for assistances. Guess who came to help the same guy I was kidding with. When he came in we both laughed. He got right work at figuring out the problem and also brought with him a portable heater. He told us that he would get to the central computer and that there he could correct the problem. I guess it worked because when we got up it was 82 degrees in our room.
Now of to Sault Saint Marie and the Soo Locks. I was a wonderful drive I-75 right in Sault Saint Marie, but there were some funny signs along the way.

We saw three of these sign on the way to Sault Saint Marie. Here is what the sign said” Prisons do not pick up hitch hikers”. What bothered me about the sign is why can’t they keep the prisoners in their prisons. I thought is impossible escape for a prison but I guess I was wrong.

Saul Saint Marie is in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and for some reason they don’t consider them part of the Lower Peninsula. This couldn’t be more apparent is when I went to pay our dinner bill with American Express and Kara our wonderful server that said if you’re North of the Bridge the yuppers don’t take AMX. I asked what is north of what bridge mean and she told me any one north of the Mackinaw Bridge that connects the lower peninsula of Michigan to the upper peninsula and you live in the upper peninsula your are and yupper.

I found out because I was from the Lower Peninsula I was a troll or an apple knocker. Isn’t interesting what you learn from asking questions.

What ever I am called I am sure it is worth a good laugh.

It is been GREAT

We left Lake City and had a very pleasant drive to Atlanta. Had a little problem finding the hotel, but it was now big deal? Once we got settled in we checked out the place and found a neat bar and grill and decided to have dinner there.

We always sit at the bar for two reasons, one you tend to get better service and two you get to have some good conversation with the bar tender. This bar and grill was what we always like. The bar maid was a delight and then we got to know the owner. She came from Korea and because we have been there we had very good discussion. By the way the food was great.

Now it is Sunday morning and we got the 7:30 AM hotel shuttle to the airport. We were dropped off right in front of baggage check in. That was great no lugging the luggage around. Now we are in the Dealt Sky Room, which use to be the Crown Room waiting for our flight.

It is amazing how busy an airport can be at 8:00 AM Sunday morning. I guess people have to get to some place and Sunday works for them.

My karma has really gotten much better. Micki and I are laughing about my bad day. You know laughing is good for all of us. As I always say the past is the past and don’t work your self over about it. The future is about to come but right now I am in the present and it is GREAT.

What a morning

I thought I just a few things to do and we could be on our way to Lake City, boy was I in for a surprise. I needed a cord for my I pod and I was sure Office Depot would have one so I check on goggle for Office Depot office hours. During the week they were 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. That was great because it was a little after seven, so I jumped in the car and was off to Office Depot. As I walked up to the front door something didn’t look right and when if tried to open the door it was locked. Looking to the side I could see the store hours and it clearly stated the hours were 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

I had a back up plan back to Seven Eleven to get Micki here fountain Diet Coke, then to the cleaners to pick up my shirts for the trip. Now back to Office Depot to get my cord for my I pod. They were out of the regular less expensive one but had a fancy one that could be plugged into the cigarette lighter. Yes I know it is now called the power outlet, but all my life it was called a cigarette light.
Micki calls me and wonders where I was. I just said I would be home in ten minutes and I was.

The reason I need the cord is because I wanted to load some books on my I pod to listen to on the way up to Lake City. I thought it was going to be simple, but it wasn’t. When I went to load my I pod software for down loading I got and error, so no down loading yet.

I just went to Itunes.com and reloaded the software. I took forever but didn’t solve my problem, so I scraped that ideas and started closing the storm shutters, you know we are still in hurricane season. This normally is an easy job, but this day it wasn’t.

My desk looks over a large open space and the window is large. To close the shutter I have to climb on my desk. This is not easy because I have nothing to stand on to get on to of the desk. A couple of banks on the shins and I was on top. I opened the window and had my handy six iron to pull the left shutter open, but it didn’t work. I won’t go through all what I had to do, but after a lot of work I got it closed.

It didn’t stop there one of the shutters by our front door jammed and I couldn’t get it close.

The saga continues our alarm system said it had a problem, so I called the alarm company for help. I seemed easy enough the batteries in one window where low and need to be replaced. This projected didn’t go will at all. Some how I broke the sensor. Now the alarm system won’t work at all. Another call and I asked them to bypass that window and they said sure. What I wasn’t told that I had to do something at my end when activating the system.

Just so you know instead of leaving at 9:00 AM we left at 12:30 PM and we did get to Lake City with just a couple of hic cups. Traffic was terrible and we couldn’t figure out why. Will when we checked in to the Holiday Inn I found out what the problem was, it was homecoming week for the University of Florida, they sure have a lot of alumni. By the way Lake City is just little north of Gainesville where University of Florida is.

To top it off the rate for our room was fifty percent more the normal because of Florida’s homecoming.

It was quite a morning and it just seemed to carry on through out the day. Today is going to be a lot better.

Were almost on our way

Today we are leaving for our Michigan trip. Have to check our real-estate, visit a client, give a speech and go to my high school reunion, then to North Carolina to give another speech.

The weather is turning colder in Michigan, so for us Floridians it should be a welcome change. We can put on the heavy sweaters and long pant. I am taking my gloves just in case it gets really cold.

I am told that we might just miss the peak of the fall colors, but there should be some left. I let you know and I’ll take some pictures to show you.

My client lives near Petoskey, Michigan, which is a very nice resort town. We are also going to visit Mick’s good friend Mary. She has more energy that anyone should have so this should be fun.

Then we go to Ann Arbor to give a speech on happiness. My hope is to visit the Editor of Eastern Michigan Universities magazine. She wants to use me for a story on happiness. She found the right guy, and then is off to visit Cousin Jerry and his wife. Jerry and I worked together for over thirty five years and have always been the best of friend. It will be good to see both of them.

Were not done yet Friday night it a cocktail party with my high school buddies. Saturday is a visit with my step mom and Saturday night it the big reunion.
Sunday we’ll be in Murphy North Carolina to stay with a best friend Bob and Jan. They are the laughers, so you can’t help but have a great and get healthy, because laughing is very healthy for you. Monday is speech time and then back to Florida.

You see many different things on trip

Do you like to travel, Micki and I sure do. We been around the world and visited some of the most interesting places you can imagine. I really cannot pick out the most wonderful place, because all the cities and countries had their own special charm and beauty.

India was the most challenging place. In Bombay there are so many people and the drivers using their horns rather than their brakes. When you get away from the big cities you see some of the most interesting old architecture and the women are walking some place all dressed up in the most colorful clothing. It is something you have to see to believe.

Now Singapore is quite a city clean it is. Our guests took us to an eating place in the jungle; it would be hard to call it a restaurant. There was a manmade lake with docks leading to areas to eat. As we were entering this place, which was all outside the was a rather crud screened in enclosure and in it was a rather large snake curled up in the center, but was most interest thing is that on top of the snake was a chicken. Will you can imagine what would happen someday.

We also were attacked by live army personnel. We found out they were training in the jungle, which was kept as a jungle o the army had a place to train. I must say Micki and I were more the a little concerned. But everything turned out OK.

What do these stories have to do about getting ready for a trip a lot actually? As you can see on some of our past journeys all most anything could happen. We are now getting ready to go to Michigan. Who knows what the weather will be like? One of our first stops after the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn Michigan will be in Sault Saint Marie and that is where the locks are that connect Lake Superior to Lake Huron. There is more tonnage that passes through these lock than any place in the world and for some reason I just want to see them.

This time of the year in Michigan’s weather anything can happen. We could get caught up in a foot of snow or it could be 80 degrees. So the type of clothing is a challenge along with trying to see too many of our old friends in to short of time. But somehow I know we’ll make it.

The packing has begun and because we live in South Florida we have to make the house ready for a hurricane. All this will be done by Friday morning and it is off to Michigan.

People have to take full responsibility for their actions

You know people that always say it wasn’t the fought. The alarm clock didn’t go off or why didn’t Ralph re-mind me. It is never them that caused the problem, but someone else.

Those types just never seem to get ahead. They keep whining and complaining and just because they were late for a meeting they lost their turn to make a big presentation, which could have been good for the career. These types also never accept that it was their fault that something didn’t get done on time.

Do you want people like that on your team? I sure don’t. I want people that take responsibility and then go on to make sure they don’t do it again.

What happens when you accept responsibility for your action others can see you’re an honest person and they will trust you. Trust is earned by your deeds and honesty is a big component of trust.

Accept responsibility for you actions and you will find your life will be so much fulfilling. People won’t dislike you because you may have made a mistake. They’ll respect you for accepting you make a mistake. It gets back people will see you and honest and people like to be around those that are honest.

Accepting responsibility is more than others trusting and respecting you, it is believing in yourself. When you believe in yourself your live blossoms and give you true meaning. Do yourself a favor accept responsibility for you action your life will be much better for it.

One last thing by accepting responsibility for your actions you are telling others that you respect yourself and them. What can be a better way to live life?

Positive self talk

Years ago I had some tape by Dennis Waitley and he talked about positive self talk. What I can remember is that if you keep putting positive thought in your mind positive things will happen. That sounds simple enough, but you have to work at it. It is so easy to let negative thoughts come into your mind.

You can find many ways to get rid of negative thoughts, just go to google.com and look up how to getting rid of negative self talk. There is lot of good ideas or you can do what I do is and that is take every negative thought and turn it into a positive one.

For an example a thought popped in to mine like I can’t write a book. What I did was to say yes I can and made a plan on how I was going to write it and I did write the book in six weeks. Take the negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones, instead of can’t say I will. It sounds easy and it is.

We can waste more time by figuring out why we can’t do something than it takes to actually do it. Just think about that, if you focus on the positive and quite worrying why you can achieve something you would be so much farther ahead at the end of the day, week, month or year.

By being positive you will find that the people that you want and need to be around will be there. They will be the first to give you a hand and help you achieve your goals. You will also help them to achieve success in their lives and by doing this all of you will continue to grow in confidence and positive self talk.

Take the negative thoughts out and replace them with positive self talk and you will find life’s journey one of joy and happiness. As Dennis Waitley said “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

The Plan

You don’t normally become successful by just by stumbling into it. Even when you hear stories of people that success just fill in their lap. If you really look at what happened, maybe the area of the success just happened but they had really developed knowledge and skill in some other area that gave them ability to think.

Most people that have achieved success had some kind of plan on how they were going to get there. The plan could have been the first stage of achieving their goal, but as time went on the plan kept developing.

Here is a story of my good friend Bob. Bob wanted to be a dentist from a little boy, why I don’t know but that’s what he wanted to be when he grew up. He researched what it was going to take to be a dentist so in school he took all the classes that would help him achieve his goal and made a plan to get there.

There are people that really don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. That is alright, because they are gain experience in the world and at some time the internal light goes on and they know what they want. When that happens the plan starts, but that doesn’t mean they lost time, because they have found out the many things they didn’t want to be. When Edison was trying to develop the light bulb he made thousand attempts that didn’t work and people would say what are you learning form all these failures. He just told people he now knows what doesn’t work. We all know that Edison did find out what worked.

When you reach your goal it isn’t where you stop it is just the beginning of another journey. The journey on the way to your success is as important if not more important to reaching your goal.

You might have many plans on your journey of life and that is as it should be. Life is too precious to waste. So go ahead make your plans and take the journey it will be the most fulfilling thing you will ever do.

Positive is the only way to go

When your’ positive you can’t help but be happy. The way to have a fruitful life is to be positive. When you think about it being positive is not really that hard. It like is the glass half empty or half full. It is just how look at it.

Some people always have all the reason why something won’t work. You know what they predict happens. The reason this happens is we tend to get what we think about and if we think something won’t work it won’t.

Thomas Edison made thousand and thousand of experiment trying to make a light bulb. When asked why he kept trying he just told people that he now knows what doesn’t work. Now we all know that he did find out what worked.

What type of people do you want to be around? Ones that are always complaining or just sour pusses, I tell you I don’t like to be around people like that. First they drag you down and second there not fun. I like fun people because they make me feel good and I don’t think there is anything wrong with feeling good.

Positive folks are the ones you want to be around. They make life more enjoyable. They are the ones that encourage you, they laugh with you and they care about you. Being around these types of people also helps improve you happiness and positive thoughts, which in term helps increase you positive attitude.

My suggestion to everyone is to be positive it is good for you health. Here is a story the support this theory. The Sisters of Norte Dame in Milwaukee lived a very simple life. When most of the sister had left this world some researcher studies their diaries. What they found that the ones that had the most positive thoughts lived 8 years longer that the ones that had the most negative thoughts.

Be positive and live longer, it is the only way to go.

We saw something very special

Last night we attended an award program for Outstanding Scholars, Endowed Teaching Chair Recipients and the Distinguished Alumna. Being a member of the Broward College Foundation Board I felt it was my duty to attend. Believe me I am happy for the recipients, but many of these types of events, I have to say, are just boring.

Boring this event was not. It moved along at a pace that was not field with dead spots. The presentation we crisp and short with a lot of artistry. There were music students form the college that sang and danced for us and they were good. You have to think that these students have been training for year and it showed.

But the highlight of the evening was Brain Stokes Mitchell. He is a Tony Award winning Broadway leading man. He wasn’t just good he was great. Before he sang he gave the story of the song he was about to sing and what it meant to him. Brain being an actor did more than just sing he put so much feeling in his presentation. When he finished is first song the whole audience stood and clapped for quite a while.

Brain came back again but this time he was carrying his new Broward College Diploma. You could see how happy he was. He told us that he never went to college but got his train through the school of hard knocks. He also told any of the students that he won’t recommend that to them, but they should stay in school.

The he sang a song from Rag Time and told another story about the song. The song was about this man holding his infant son and dreaming about future for his son. Brain said the song now has more meaning because he to has a son and he has dreams for him.

The event ended right on time with Brain and students singing and giving there bows to us. All I can say we saw something very special.

Building a reserve

Having reserve is good whether it is money or good things you have done for others. What do I mean good things you have done for others?

It is actual real simple, the more good things you do for others you’re your account grows with them. Now when you need something special from someone you have build a positive account of good things, the more they want to help you.

You will find is so much easier to have others help you when you have accumulated a good balance of good things you have done for them. Building a reserve with others is good and keep doing it, remember when someone want to help you and is a good help let them. This works because it is part of the cycle of giving and receiving.

As much as we like to give we have to be able to receive in the same way. Receiving from others helps them build the reserve with you and that is good. You have to look at giving and receiving as a balancing act. You give and help, which build you reserve with others, and they give and help you which in turn help build their reserve with you.

Too much of either building too much or taking away to much is not good, but you know if you just do the right things it naturally works out.

Giving and receiving is as natural as breathing in and breathing out. What comes in has to come out, thus there is a natural balance
.
If you go through life by making sure you are giving and helping others you will never have to worry about the reserve, because it will naturally be there. And you will have a wonderful and fulfilling life.

Success the first stage

One of the keys to success is to manage your thoughts. What that means is to keep your thoughts on your passion. By doing that you don’t allow your mind to get cluttered with things that will not get you to where you want to go.

When you find what you desire turn it into an intension. Desire is important, but together with intention comes real power because it anchors you in the present. The present is where your desires are, your intentions is where you want to go.

If you have ever seen a golfer look down the fare way before taking a shoot, what the golfer is doing is visualizing the shoot. They know where the ball is going to go before they hit it. So if your’ going to hit a golf ball the desire is you want to hit a good shot and the intent is you know where you want it to go.

To be successful you have want to do it will and you have to know what you want to have happen. Now that doesn’t seem to difficult does it.

What you have to do is find out what your are passion. Sometimes you know it right off and other times you might not be so sure. To help you find your passion take a look at what you really like to do and care for. Then look at what you do will. By looking at these two things you can bring clarity to what your passion is.

Let’s say you love to play tennis and you are better than the average person at the game. You also know you like to help people. Now you can start to explore some of the possibilities. Maybe you might want to let others know how to overcome fundamental mistake most tennis players make.

This might be good blog to start. Giving people tips on how to improve their tennis game by eliminating so common mistakes. If you are consistent and have solid content in you blog after some time you will have a following. Now you might put together an E-book on eliminating common mistakes in tennis.

I am not going to put together the whole marketing plan at this time, but let just say this person has seen the light and wants to become the most desired person that people will go to eliminate the common mistakes that people make in tennis.

Finally the passion is in the persons belly and the desire and intent is moving him or her be successful in a field.

Have faith in your self

You have to believe in yourself, but it will take you to spend time on your personal development. Just wishing for faith in your self is not enough. So how do you go about having faith in yourself? First you take time every day to be better than you were the day before. Second find something you have a real passion for and go do it. Third set a goal to be the best at whatever your passion is.

Three steps and you will gain so much faith in yourself and you know what else happens, other start to have faith in you also. Now you have others supporting you in your passion and that means your success for you passion will grow far beyond what you could have done alone.

One thing you have to do is live life by the order of the universe and if you think there are short cuts to growing you passion there aren’t. One thing you have to do is live in the present, because that is where things get done. Living in the past is waste of time. For example, if something happened to you in the past and you still let it bother you, your’ wasting precious time. What happened, happened, so forget about it and move on with your life.

Having a vision for the future is OK, but you have to remember that the present is where you do the things to make the future a reality. You have met people that are always talking about what they are going to do, but for some reason they never get there. One more time, things get done in the present, so do it now.

Having faith in yourself is not to be cocky, but being grounded in the knowledge that you are working every day to improve your passion. If you work on the three steps, one always improving, two have passion for something, and three being the best at it. If you do these thing you can’t help but have faith in yourself.

There is more than just thank you

Thank you are two very important words, but you can get more bang for your buck just by adding something to the thank you and that goes for complement also. Here is what I mean instead of just saying thank you , ad on to it something like this. Thank you for your kindness to Fido, my dog, while we were out of town.

Just by adding why you were thankful makes the person know you real care. The same goes for any complement.

Instead so just saying” Micki you look great tonight”, which is nice in itself, but I add that the new outfit she is wearing brings out the best in her. Or I could say “You really found the combination of colors that make you glow like an angel. By adding just a little more you confirm to the person that you have really noticed them in a positive and special way.

You can do the same thing with people you work with. Say thank you and then ad why you are thankful. Example I could just tell Tom thank you which again is OK, but what if I added because of his help it looks like we are going to land the big account.

When you add a why to the thank you or complement it leaves a lasting impression on the person you said it too. Do you think the next time you need their support that they are not going to help you. You bet they will because they are part of your team and you care about them. You have also shown them how important they are to you.

To just review when you say thank you add to it why you are thank you. When giving a complement add the little something extra that really makes the person feel special.

Keep them laughing

Why not keep them laughing, because it is so good for us. I have a friend who is always laughing and has a very infectious smile. Sometimes you can mistake his laughter as that he is not the brightest in the world. If you thought that you would be very wrong.

Let’s call this guy John and let’s further say he came from a family of five and he being the youngest and the only boy. He told me that he didn’t mind being the youngest but the hand me down cloths were tough. He finally grew so much he got his own cloths.

He went to college and got a degree in some kind of chemistry. He was also a very good football player. He even made it into the NFL where he became an all pro at his position. Knowing football won’t last forever he started a business while he was still playing and it became successful.

Now he sounds like a very bright guy to me, but he never stopped laughing or smiling. He sold his business and became a VP for the new owners. Then he and his wife decided that they want to start a business that was unique in the industry.

John and his wife have accomplished their goal of having a business that is not only successful but unique. They are not stopping but moving ahead to make the business more unique and raise the success level to even a higher.

I told John that I loved his smile and laughter and with a laugh and big smile he said” I always want to under promise and over deliver”. It would be great if everyone worked on that principal?

To me learning new things is exciting

Do you get enthused when you learn new things? I sure hope you do because it so healthy for you. It gets you brain working with a new challenges and this is good. Today there so much to learn and we can’t stop learning, because the knowledge base is growing exponentially.

When I hear people say I don’t want anything to do with computes I just shutter. You can get more information on the computer in a few minutes than you can get in reading the paper for hours.

When was the last time you send someone a letter? Maybe if you’re in business you have to put some things in writing, but for everyday things you either call them, tech message them or E-mail them. Guess what there very little, if any, time lags. You and your friends know instantly what is going on.

You know it seem like people want to know things as soon as they happen and that’s OK. In many cases they can. It is not like fifty years ago you went to the show to see the weekly news on the WEEK In REVIEW.

It is not just computer stuff the gets me excited. It is learning on how to be a better writer and speaker. I have found that those that write and speak are so generous with their time to help you.

Have you ever heard of Master Mind Groups? They are a great place to grow as a person. A Master Mind Group is a group of people of like mind that want to be more than they are today. The power of the group helps you and the other member to grow and be more successful at achieving their goals.

You guessed it being in a group like that keep you in a constant learning mode, which help you stay younger and more alive. Keep learning and enjoy life to the fullest.

Dealing with the talker

What I mean about talker is that they are the communicators. Their need is to be verbal and their stress reliever is socializing. They expect a lot from others. They also will run away from a conflict. So this gives you some ideas about the communicator.

Now how is best to deal with the communicator. Listen to them and don’t legislate or muffle them. Give them time to relax and socialize before getting down to business. Talk about people and their goals, but don’t drive to facts, figures and alternatives.

Ask for their opinions, don’t be impersonal or task oriented. Don’t leave decision up in the air; focus on people and action items. This real important, provide ideas for implementing action or they will waste a lot of yours and their time dreaming.

Things that get the talker energized, one is people interaction, two is social recognition and third is a situation requiring enthusiasm. Things that turn them off are, one is social rejection, two is skepticism and third is negativity.

When they talk they talk fast and their body is animated. Their actions are fast and gesturing.

To help them want to hear from you use these words. Fun, I fell, exciting, you look great, recognition, put you in the spotlight, tons of people and picture this. If you these words you will get their attention.

Talkers are creative problem solver, very enthusiastic and humorous. They also have high contactability and everyone is their friend.

To sum on dealing with the talker-communicator let them talk and give them time to socialize before getting down to business. They can be a great help to you in achieving your goals if you deal with them in the way we have described.

How to deal with a High powered person

We all know people that are really dominate. You might even be one, so listen and learn something.

Dominate people are the same as high powered folks, so let’s get started. Dominate people have a high value for time, thus they don’t want their time wasted on things that are not important to them. Example on how to work with a dominate person. Don’t give them some lengthy plan. Give them a couple of bullet points and hand them the backup material. By doing this they know you value heir time. Now if they want to chitchat that’s Ok but don’t you do it.

If you have someone that works for you that is very dominate give them a challenge. These people thrive on challenges, but do poorly on everyday routine work. in fact the tougher the assignment the better.

Dominate people love the opportunity to lead so when you give them the opportunity to be a leader, they’ll appreciate the experience.

You will find these high powered people need a lot of physical activity because this is how they release stress.

If you use the thing I have mentioned you can work with dominate people and get results and have fun. But, if you don’t respect their time and want to spend time visiting and they don’t want to, you will find yourself with a person that is not very happy.

When you learn to deal with others your life and theirs becomes so much more enjoyable. I will be covering other type of people and how to work with them so both parties feel good about the relationship and be happy about it.

Happiness is a state of mind

Happiness is a state of mind so it doesn’t come from outside stimulus, like having more than you neighbors or winning the lotto. Happiness comes from the inside.

Some of the keys to happiness are having a good life, a life with sustained relationships, challenging work and a connection to community. By living this kind of life you will improve your happiness state of mind.

It is now known that we are what we eat, so if it eats right we will be healthier. Keep our body in shape. Recently I read that even at very old ages if you keep your body in shape you will be much healthier for it.

We are not done yet. By being around people that love you and you love them your life will one of happiness. Then make others happy because by making them happy you will make you happy.

Here is a big one, laugh. Laughing does so much for us it releases stress and tension. It helps your inter organs function and many other things. So just laugh a lot, you will be happier for it.

Happy people may or may not be the healthiest, but for sure they are enjoying life more than the unhappy one
.
The present this where we need to anchor our selves, here is how to look at it. The past is the past and there is nothing we can do about, so doesn’t put energy into re-hashing the past. The future is coming and we can plan for it and step goals, but you have to deal with the present to get to the future

Are old friend is still great

We got to Orlando and met up with Tom. Except for gray hair he looked the same. Tom has a warm smile and infectious laugh. So when he turned the corner in the hotel lobby and spotted Micki and me. His smile was in full bloom and he started laughing as soon as he spotted us.

There were hugs and kisses for Micki and a hug for me and then we all started talking at the same time. Micki had to get out the pictures of our grand children and Tom took great pains to look them over.

It was if those thirty years of not seeing Tom just melted away. We have never met Sally his wife but before are meeting with Tom was over we both thought we had know her forever.

When we get to California we have to stay with Sally and Tom because Tom said we have to and we will. It should be a very enjoyable time when we stay with them. Tom said on a clear day they can see Catalina Island and the big Hollywood sign in LA.

We all wanted to know about our mutual friends. In thirty years a lot of our friends have moved, remarried ,and are doing things you would have never thought they would do. Then it got down to Micki, Tom and me. Tom most of thought we were part of an investigation team, because we just kept asking questions. Then Tom had his boat load of his questions. This went on all through dinner. After dinner we agreed to meet for breakfast.

We had a two hour breakfast filled with more questions and stories. Tom brought up stories I had forgotten and my stories had been forgotten by him until I recanted them.

If you ever get the opportunity meet up with a dear old friend do, you life will be richer for it.
