Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues.

You can be successful, no matter how small you think you are.
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito." - Betty Reese

Think Positive and Talk Positive
Great learning opportunity presented itself when my grandson said "seems like when I say something it comes true". Guess what I got to say..."well just goes to show you that you had better be saying something positive."

How many are old enough to remember this?
I don't know how I remember these trivial things but does anyone else remember this? An advertising song from an old Tom Mix radio show..."Shredded Ralston for your breakfast and you surely will agree. It's a warm up round up breakfast and it's full of energy. It's delicious and nutritious-bite size and ready to eat. Take a tip from Tom. Go and tell your mom. Shredded Ralston can't be beat."

A portion of an editorial by Willilam Kristol
The British economist and businessman Josiah Charles Stamp is said to have remarked, “It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.” Stamp, along with his wife and son, was killed in London in 1941 during the Blitz. Those deaths, and tens of millions others, were the result of decent people seeking for too long to dodge their responsibilities and to evade the consequences.

The World is Looking for Heroes and Good Leaders
The world is starving for heroes and good leaders.
A good leader is not born, a good leader is trained. Listen to what Jim Rohn says about the goals of a good leader.
1. Learn to be strong but not rude. It is an extra step you must take to become a powerful, capable leader. Sadly, some people mistake rudeness for strength... It's not even a good substitute.
2. Learn to be kind but not weak. We must not mistake kindness for weakness. Kindness isn't weak. Kindness is a certain type of strength. We must be kind enough to tell somebody the truth. We must be kind enough and considerate enough to lay it on the line. We must be kind enough to tell it like it is and not deal in delusion.
3. Learn to be bold but not a bully. It takes boldness to win the day. To build your influence, you've got to walk in front of your group. You've got to be willing to take the first arrow, tackle the first problem, discover the first sign of trouble.
4. You've got to learn to be humble, but not timid. You can't get to the high life by being timid. Some people mistake timidity for humility... Humility is almost a God-like word. A sense of awe. A sense of wonder. An awareness of the human soul and spirit. An understanding that there is something unique about the human drama versus the rest of life. Humility is a grasp of the distance between us and the stars, yet having the feeling that we're part of the stars. So humility is a virtue; but timidity is a disease.
5. Be proud but not arrogant. It takes pride to win the day. It takes pride to build your business. It takes pride to accomplish much. But the key to becoming a good leader is being proud without being arrogant. In fact I believe the worst kind of arrogance is arrogance from ignorance. It's when you don't know that you don't know... That kind of arrogance is intolerable. If someone is smart and arrogant, we can tolerate that. But if someone is ignorant and arrogant, that's just too much to take.
6. Develop humor without folly. That's important for a leader. In leadership, we learn that it's okay to be witty, but not silly. It's okay to be fun, but not foolish.
7. Lastly, deal in reality...deal in truth...and save yourself the agony. Just accept life as it is. Because life is unique. For example, I've found the methods that work well for one leader may not work at all for another. And yet the fundamentals of leadership always work well for just about everyone: in life, business, in the community, and at home.

Want to know how to buy safer products?
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that
consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN
CHINA", so they don't show from which
country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the barcode -

Time Flies
It was just yesterday it seems when I was posting my birthday. Now winter is over ..yeah...and soon it will be summer.
We should live every moment of every day because they slip away fast.
Living in the NOW moment takes a little practice. How do you practice living in the now?
