A SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP by Rev. Ronald McFadden If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws,vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, va...

"Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there."—John Wooden, Basketball Coach A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen toget an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some inplastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite. The Lecturer offered his former students the cups toget drinks for themselves. When all the students had a cup in hand with water,the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheapones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups." "Just like in life, if Life i...

Mr. Narayana Murthy is undoubtedly one of the most famous persons from Karnataka. He is known not just for building the biggest IT empire in India but also for his simplicity. Almost every important dignitary visits Infosys campus. He delivered an interesting speech during an employee session with another IT company in India. He is incidentally, one of the top 50 Influencial people of Asia according to an Asiaweek publication and also the new IT Advisor to the Thailand Prime Minister. Extract of Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech during Mentor Session : I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a week, or more. Some people do so because of a work emergency where the long hours are only temporary. Other people I know have put in these hours for years. I don't know if they are working all these hours, but I do know they are in the office this long. Others put in long office hours because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever the reason for putting in ov...

This is the prepared text of the address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, who spoke at Commencement on June 12, 2005. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped...

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility. Eleanor Roosevelt

You don't need to know all of your answers in advance to solve a problem or to reach your goal. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach in advance. Everyone who achieved success in a great venture, solved their problems as they came to them. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept goingregardless of the obstacles they met. Don't procrastinate when faced with a difficult problem. Break your problem into parts, and handle one part at a time. All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord. It's the job you never start that takes longest to finish.

為了要討好你的歡心 我經常忘記我自己 感情是件瘋狂的事 多了並不見得好 我不能隨便我自己 快樂輕聲地歌唱 都說你愛聽情歌 來分擔你心中的苦 不要像頑皮的孩子 老說為我唱情歌 常常我一個人在夜裡 擔心迷失我自己 而原來我是一個 愛四處遊蕩的人 如果有那麼一天我停住了 你是否就離開我 於是我叫我自己恨情歌 假裝我不在乎 或者我不再去討你歡心 我喜歡這樣的自己 於是我叫我自己恨情歌 假裝我不在乎 也許你從來都沒說過 是我想的太多 而原來我是一個 愛四處遊蕩的人 都說你愛聽情歌 來分擔你心中的苦

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever. The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens,its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,for it is yet to be born. This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day.It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break dow...

THE FORMULA FOR FAILURE AND SUCCESS by Jim Rohn America's Foremost Business Philosopher (Excerpted from the book The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle) Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day. Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters. On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn't result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds. If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothi...

The process of human change begins within us. We all have tremendous potential. We all desire good results from our efforts. Most of us are willing to work hard and to pay the price that success and happiness demand. Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level ofour potential, that produces the intensity of our activity, and predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude. Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we are faced with new challenges. No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control. No one else "makes us angry."...

Comfort on difficult days, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Laughter to kiss your lips, Sunsets to warm your heart, Gentle hugs when spirits sag, Friendships to brighten your being, Beauty for your eyes to see, Confidence for when you doubt, Faith so that you can believe, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, And love to complete your life."

I believe that in the 21st Century it is so important to have multiple skills. But what I also find is that if you are already in sales, networkmarketing or have an entrepreneurial business (or plan to in the future); you can gain the needed skills for the future while you create your resources now. Here's my short list for on the job training, so that you can learn while you earn. 1) Sales I began my journey with sales, which of course dynamically changed my lifeback at age 25. The first year I multiplied my income by five. I was raised in farm country. I knew how to milk cows, but it didn't pay well. But sales altered the course of my life, learning to present a valid product in the marketplace, talk about its virtues and get somebody to say "yes." And then give them good service. 2) Recruiting Then came recruiting, how to expand my business, build an organization. We have all heard the question, is it better to have one person selling a $1000 or have 100 people sel...

The Reality of Fear by Lisa Jimenez, M.Ed. One of the biggest barriers that all people have to overcome on their journey of success is fear. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of change. Fear of responsibility and commitment. And the big one - Fear of success. It is fear (and all of its cousins like worry, anxiety, depressionand self-doubt) that will turn your dreams into a chilling nightmare. This nightmare can turn into something so daunting that it causes you to loosehope. It doesn't have to be this way. Fear was never intended to put you in a state of paralysis. The reality of fear is that fear is human. Fear is part of growing and it isn't going away. It is part of every person's life and exists in every success story. In all the research I did for my book, "Conquer Fear!" I heard story after story of successful people who experienced fear. The names would change. The circumstances were different. But the fear was the same -and very real. What I noticed...

Over the years as I've sought out ideas, principles and strategies tolife's challenges, I've come across four simple words that can make livingworthwhile. First, life is worthwhile if you Learn. What you don't know Will hurt you.You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. Life is worthwhile ifyou learn from your own experiences - negative or positive. We learn to doit right by first sometimes doing it wrong. We call that a positivenegative. We also learn from other people's experiences, both positive and negative. I've always said that it is too bad failures don't give seminars.Obviously, we don't want to pay them so they aren't usually touring aroundgiving seminars. But that information would be very valuable - we wouldlearn how someone who had it all then messed it up. Learning from otherpeople's experiences and mistakes is valuable information because we canlearn what not to do without the pain of having tried and failed ourselves. ...

"You Are" You are strong when you take your grief and teach it to smile. You are brave when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same. You are happy when you see a flower and give it your blessing. You are loving when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others. You are wise when you know the limits of your wisdom. You are true when you admit there are times you fool yourself. You are alive when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake. You are growing when you know what you are but not what you will become. You are free when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others. You are honorable when you find your honor is to honor others. You are generous when you can take as sweetly as you can give. You are humble when you do not know how humble you are. You are thoughtful when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are. You are merciful when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself. You...

Unpleasant things, .. happen in life. They happen to everyone. The only difference between a happy person and one who gets depressed is how they respond to disasters. Imagine you have just had a wonderful afternoon at the beach with a friend. When you return home, you find a huge truckload of dung has been dumped right in front of your door. There are three things to know about this truckload of dung: You did not order it. It's not your fault. You're stuck with it. No one saw who dumped it, so you cannot call anyone to take it away. It is filthy and offensive, and its stench fills your whole house. It is almost impossible to endure. In this metaphor, the truckload of dung in front of the house stands for the traumatic experiences that are dumped on us in life. As with the truckload of dung, there are three things to know about tragedy in our life: We did not order it. We say 'Why me?' We're stuck with it. No one, not even our best friends, can take it away (though ...

Don’t Compare Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Live in Present Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. Don’t Give up Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Admit your imperfectness Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together. Face the Risks Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Ways to Love The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Make Direction Clear Don't run through life so fast that you forget, n...

"The Dash" I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the date with tears. But, he said, what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that she spent here alive on earth.... And now only those who loved her know what that little line was worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars...the house...the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this, long and hard... are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left, you could be at "dash mid-range". If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more. Love the peopl...
