A GREAT LESSON FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN!

You may have experienced so called "defeats"
or "failures" in 2007 but let that not keep you
from focussing on achieving your dreams in 2008.
Experiences good or bad only make you stronger
and wiser! Many people seem to be ignorant that
many successful people had to go through a string
of "failures" or challenges before they became
successful!

And that is why very few achieve success because
they give up on their dreams too soon after facing
a few "setbacks", "failures" and "challenges".

There are no "failures", only "learning experiences"
and the only "failure" is to give up on your dreams!

I highly recommend this book: Dare To Fail by
Billi P.S. Lim

Here's a classic example of a great man who
failed his way to success!

Abraham Lincoln didn't let his failures stop
him from becoming the 16th President of USA!

He failed as a business man - as a storekeeper.

He failed as a farmer - he despised this work.

He failed in his first attempt to obtain
political office.

When elected to the legislature he failed when
he sought the office of speaker.

He failed in his first attempt to go to Congress.

He failed when he sought the appointment to the
United States Land Office.

He failed when he ran for the United States Senate.

He failed when friends sought for him the nomination
for the vice-presidency in 1856.

Finally in 1860 he was elected as the 16th and one
of the greatest presidents in American history!

Hold on tight to your dreams and remember this
wise saying:

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbled, or
where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena; whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again; who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at
the best, knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt

Living ang Giving

Living and Giving

Whatever you give away today
Or think or say or do
Will multiply tenfold
And then return to you.
It may not come immediately
Nor from the obvious source
But the Law applies unfailingly
Through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,
Be it love or hate or passion,
Will surely bounce right back to you
In some clear (or secret) fashion.
If you speak about some person
A word of praise or two,
Soon, tens of other people
Will speak kind words of you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
Not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness;
Petty ones, untold pain.
Giving works as surely as
Reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you'll get back
But loving brings love nearer.

Remember, as you start this day
And duty crowds your mind,
That kindness comes so quickly back
To those who first are kind.
Let that thought and this one
Direct us through each day...
The only things we ever keep
Are the things we give away.
by Jerry Buchanan

Are you happy?

My spiritual guru, Lama Tsering, always ask this
question in a very special way that is not offensive
but makes you think!

It is very important to ask yourself
what gives you joy?

> If you have all the time and money in
> the world, what would you be doing?

> Five very important questions
> in life:

> Where are you now?
> Where do you want to go?
> Do you know how to get there?
> Why do you want to get there?
> Do you know someone who has
> been there and is willing to show
> you the how to get there?

> It doesn't have to be a home-based business
> it can be any business that can give you
> more time and more money to do the things
> you love to do!

> I've learned that one of the key aspects of
> achieving succes is investing in people.
> I am investing in people by offering $873 online
> support package and 12-month coaching
> worth $5,000 to enterprising professionals
> who want a Plan B and want to learn how
> to start their home-based business to achieve
> financial freedom!

> If you or your friends live in USA,
> I can arrange a multi-millionaire entrepreneur
> who is my mentor to guide you.

> Give me a call at 98565007 or email me
> and I will show you how to get started
> right away!

"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting a few drops on yourself."


"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves."
James M. Barrie.

You are what you think!

"The physically weak man can make himself strong
by careful and patient training, so the man of
weak thoughts can make them strong by excercising
himself in right thinking."
James Allen


I highly recommend you read James Allen's book:
As A Man Thinketh.

"Mind is the Master-power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:-
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass."

Be true to yourself and others.

"Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which
confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist."
Mary Kay Ash
CEO, Mary Kay Cosmetics

You are where you are today it is because of the decisions
you made in the past and the things you do and say.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the cause of it all?"

It is critical to your success to be true to yourself
and others. Confucius said: "Sincerity is the highest mark of a man"

Buckminster Fuller said: "Integrity is the essence of everything."

The Ability To Learn is Critical!

The ability to learn is critical. We can hire employees
with ability but current lack of knowledge and then train
them. We cannot utilize employees who do not respond to
training through lack of their internal capacity and
motivation to learn.
