Mobile phone a god send or not



We have to know everything as soon as it happens. This started back in the 60’s when TV started broadcasting live from around the world. You didn’t have to wait to read about in the paper the next day you saw it live as it happening.

The mobile phone has changed the way we live. It is difficult to find anyone that doesn’t’ have a mobile phone. Kids have them and think nothing of it and as far as they are concerned mobile phone are as American as apple pie.

All of this is great to a point and I have a story to tell you about mobile phone abusive. Look at people driving, you find a good many of them on the phone. My personal question what are all these people talking about? Believe it or not I can actually remember when people sent letters to one another, now forget that you just call them.

I think in California it is against the law to drive and be on your mobile phone. Personally I think that’s GREAT. If talking on the phone isn’t bad enough some people actually tech’s will driving. That has to be worse than the guy I use to follow in the morning reading his paper will driving.

Mobile phones are great, but do you like to sit near someone in a restaurant that is on a mobile phone? When the person is talking is sounds like they are yelling so the person can hear them, which means you can hear the whole conversation. Maybe I don’t want to know what kind of a deal this person is putting together or when he or she is going to meet someone. To me it down right irritating and more and more restaurants are put people on notice not to use their mobile phones in their restaurant. That works for me.

Now the mobile phone is your walk around computer and makes so many things easier and that is the spirited we should have. Use it as a tool not a controller of you live

Happy mobile phoning to you or whatever it is called today

Why don’t we ever seem to have enough time with all our time savers?



Here are some examples of how I have saved hour of time this year alone. In the past to get my driver’s licenses I would have to drive to the driver’s licenses office, wait in line for who know how long. Then start to fill out the driver licenses forms. Wait a little longer and take an eye exam. With that out of the way I could set down and wait to have my picture taken. Now that my picture was taken and I was told it would be about two weeks before it could be sent to me.

That was in the old days. This time I got on the internet filled out all the forms and made an appointment to get my driver’s licenses. The day of the appointment I drove to the driver’s licenses office at the proper time walked up to the counter. My picture was taken and in about five minutes I had my driver’s licenses, isn’t that great.

Look at all the time is saved, but I still need to save more. So now I have to travel to Michigan for a meeting. I am flying so I get on the Internet go twww.delta.com key in bunch a lot of numbers. Then key in the locations where I am going. Then the dates and times I need and within second I have some many choices to pick from. I can even get side assignments. All this may have taken me fifteen minutes.

It seem like I keep saving time, but I still don’t have enough time. Maybe it if I keep finding way to save time I’ll even get further behind.

I have a plan to save time and have time at the same time. I just won’t do anything. No more writing blogs and don’t pod cast. No more writing book. No more meetings. This is a big one I’ll stop playing golf. Now look how much time I’ll have.

But what am I going do with all this time. I more than likely would be bored stiff, so that won’t’ be any good. You know I think I’ll just learn how to live with not having enough time and enjoy it. What do you think?

After months of work it happens



This is story of two friends of mine. They have been working on some products of herbs and vitamins to sell over the Internet. I don’t know how they got a hold of the directions to make the herb and vitamin formula, but they products worked. They went through all the government testing to make sure they weren’t harmful. Things where moving along, but even with a lot of effort, time was passing and they were falling behind schedule.

One of the last things that needed to happen was too fine a firm to manufacture their products and ship them. You would think that would have been the easy part, put it wasn’t. For one reason or another potential supplies couldn’t get the job done.

It was almost to a point that they were going to forget about the project and move on to something else. Then a strange thing happened that wasn’t part of the plan. I invited both of them to a pool party to support A Child Is Missing.

It was suppose to rain that nigh of the party, but it didn’t. Instead it was one of the most beautiful evenings we have had this summer. There was a band playing some nice and easy going Caribbean music. All the people were enjoying themselves.

As the president of A Child Is Missing I wanted to make sure all the guest were having a good time, so I spend my time mixing with the crowed. Right on queue my two friends showed up and I started to introduce them around.

At one point I introduced my two friends to one of our new Board members. I mentioned that J B, my friend, as the number one personal development coach cast in the world. The new board member said had JB ever heard of this marketing group and J B said he spoke there last month.

One thing led to another and the herb vitamin project entered into the conversation. The new board member said I think I can help and asked if they could meet with him Monday, which they did.

The deal isn’t done yet, but it looks like they have a company that will make, package an

That is what happens so many times, you put so much effort in to a project and then out of the blue something happens to make it all go together.

Here is to good things happening to you.

You can pick your friends but you can’t pick your relatives



I won’t get into the relatives, because that can be a very emotional topic, so I’ll just stay with picking your friends. In my case my friends are my family. They almost do anything you ask and be happy to do it and I would do the same for them.

Friends are so important in how are live evolve. So it’s important to make sure you put some real effort into selecting your friends. It has been proven if you want to be successful be around successful people. I might seem obvious, but it is true.

You learn so much from people that are successful. Most successful people think out of the box. Successful people are willing to take risk, but if you analyze how they go about taking risk it one of careful study or years of experience that give them the wisdom to make, what might look like, a snap decision.

Successful people also have successful friends, which can be of help in your ventures and you can help in theirs. Are you starting to get the picture? These friends help one another. By helping and teaching one another they all build in success. Not bad and it most cases it is a Win-Win for everyone.

These types of people respect their friendships. So in most cases their word is as a contract. Honesty is a vital ingredient to making and continually building these friendships.

Like all friendship you have to work on them and by that I mean the friendship has to be one of give and take. If you only take and don’t give the friendship will not last, so it is imperative to play by the rules. If you don’t you don’t only loss a friend but most of you other successful friends.

Yes you can pick your friends, but do in a way that works for you and the friend.

Do you like to wait, I don’t



Wasting time is not one of my favorite things. We all have so only so much time and we can’t afford to have it wasted.

One big time waster is doctor’s offices. When I was kid and had to go to the doctor it would take forever. I would arrive about fifteen minute early and go up to the frosted sliding glass window and ring the little silver bell setting on the ledge of the sliding glass frosted window. It would take a minute or so and the frosted sliding glass window would open. A not so pleasant face looking out and asked me “Who are you” and I would proudly give this person my name and the time the doctor was to see, which about in fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minute my foot. One hour past then another and finally the frosted sliding glass window opened and annouced that I was to enter. I was shown to an examining room where I spent at least another half hour. Then the door opened widely and the doctor and his nurse walked in. After a few questions and a cold stethoscope put on my chest and back I was told to give this note to my mother and have her call him back in a couple of day if I haven’t improved

.
Now for the modern way to wait, just call any organization that that has an automatic message system. Here is how it might sound like. “Hello this is “X” organization and we are here to help you. Press one for English and two for Spanish. “Then you hear a list of option , thought they might have been changed so pay attention. You select your option and hear “All our companionate helpers are busy helping your fellow whatever.

If your’ lucky there is some good music and then from time to time a voice might tell you that you might be able to get your answer by going to their web site. I must say that only on few occasions have I wait for only a minute or to, the rest of the time its ten to twenty minutes. Isn’t modern technology wonderful

Here is waiting for you.

Sometimes we think people know, but.




This is a story that I hope makes you laugh. You know laughter is good for you, so it is my intent that this story put you into a real belly laugh.

Businesses today want their associates (employees). I am still from the employee day. I know that associate is suppose to make those working in an organization feel more part of the it, but they still get a pay check and report to some one. Thus they are worker bees. Maybe that could be the new term for associate “Worker Bee”.

Now I am way away from the story. So I’ll get started. John a young man with a young family and wants to do the best for his family and the company he is part of. Did you notice I didn’t say work for the company.

Organizations all want their associates to really like what they do, so they work hard at having their associates feel good about what they do. There is the company picnic, the annual dinner and many other things to get the whole family involved.

Oh I for got the different awards that are given out during the year. Years Top Sales person, Best in Customer Service, Best attendance and the list goes on. Again these things are to make everyone feel important except for those that don’t get them and fell they should have.

Will John being a good associate and family man always wants to do the right thing. Coming up was bring your child to work day. John couldn’t wait to till his daughter that he was taking her to work with him next Friday, so she won’t have to go to school that day. Sally was ecstatic. She not only did have to go to school, but also would be able to spend the day with her Dad.

Friday came and Sally was ready a half and hour before she had to be. In the trade we would call this being pumped and ready to go. John and Fran, Sally’s mother, made sure Sally look just right. John and Sally got in the car and were off to work. When Sally go to here Dad’s place of work she seem a little puzzled, but didn’t say anything. Then finally she had to ask her dad questions. “Dad” she said,” do you drive a truck or do you sort boxes”

John had no ideas what she was talking about. So John said “UBS, the firm I am part of, is a international bank” Sally said in a disappointed tune “I thought you were a truck driver and worked for UPS.
