The 7 Magic Bullets Of Success

2011-09-28T07:32:00.000-07:00

Today, I'm letting you in on the exact principle that I work on
each day. I learned this principle 5 years ago from Napoleon Hill,
the author of the revolutionary best selling book "Think And Grow
Rich"

Initially, I ignored the power of these principles, but when I
started applying it exactly 2 years ago, I gained power from my mind
to accomplish a lot each day. I conquered procrastination and
indecision.

I became super motivated to accomplish herculean tasks each day. I
was simply empowered and I continue to see results by using it. I
have simplified these principles in my own words for you. I call
them "The 7 Magic Bullets Of Success". These principles are simple,
yet very powerful. Here they are:

1. Decide exactly what it is you want in each part of your life. Be
very specific and do not generalise your options.

2. Write it down, clearly and in detail. Always think on paper. A
goal that is not in writing is not a goal at all. It is merely a
wish and it has no energy behind it.

3. Set A deadline for your goal. A deadline acts as a "forcing
system" in your subconscious mind. It motivates you to do the
things necessary to make your goal come true. If it is a big enough
goal, set sub-deadlines as well. Don't leave this to chance because
it is so powerful.

4. Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are
going to have to do to achieve your goal. When you think of new
tasks and activities, write them down on your list until your list
is complete.

5. Organise your list into a plan. Decide what you will have to do
first and what you will have to do second and so on. Decide what is
more and less important. And then write out your plan on paper, the
same way you would develop a blueprint to build your dream house.

6. Take action on your plan. Do something. Do anything, but get
busy, get going and never procrastinate when you can help it.

7. Do something every single day that moves you in the direction of
your most important goal at the moment. Develop the discipline of
doing something each day, each week, each month and each year that
is moving you forward. You will be absolutely astonished at how
much you accomplish when you utilize this formula in your life
every single day.

The above seven bullets of success can shoot you to unimaginable
heights of success in anything you do in life as long as you follow
them to the letter. It is so powerful, and that is the principle I
live and breath with each day.

WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?

2011-09-27T08:01:00.000-07:00

This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet.

He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built. What happened? The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!

In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years!!! Without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard That was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years... Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. Think, will u do that to your partner? Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't. As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the Distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well? Please never abandon your loved ones Never Say U R Busy When They Really Need You ... You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet..... But You Might Be The Only World To Them....

To Live Use Heart and to Survive use Brains. Then Life would be a paradise Unfurling only Love Joy and Happiness..... Spread this message to everyone you Love and Help them Live life and not Merely Survive.....

The most important investment of all: YOU

2011-09-27T06:42:00.000-07:00

When building wealth it is easy to get caught up in the best investments, plans, strategies, etc.. Remember that at the end of the day the most important investment is you! Here are some quick tips to protect the most important investment of all!

1) Good, Nutrient-rich Food

You must fuel your body and your brain to stay focused, productive and clear while doing business. You want to avoid the caffeine or sugar crash in the middle of meetings. The best way to do this is to ‘snack’ on protein-rich, easy to carry nuts, seeds, cheese, yogurt, etc. If you need to ‘grab’ food, eat real food, not bagels, muffins or pre-packaged snacks. Half a sandwich will get you through your afternoon and leave you satisfied, not starving, focused on work, not the next coffee.

2) Daily Relaxation

Relaxation is FREE and ACTIVE. Investing in daily relaxation simply means carving out time for: a walk, a cup of tea with a friend or loved one, an ‘open heart’ chat (not a gossip or complaining session), enjoying nature or spending time sprawled on the floor with your children, dog, cat, lover or yourself.

3) Non-Judgment

Do you spend [waist] time criticizing yourself and/or others? This is a highly draining and unproductive use of resources. Comparing business models and LEARNING from them is one thing; comparing your company’s growth with others and beating yourself up or gloating about it, is another. Time and focus are lost when we feed our insecurities with other peoples’ perceived success stories. Build your business on a foundation of non-judgment and you will thrive. When you or others do well, learn. When you or others fail, learn. Period.

4) Make You a Priority

Just as you would put off ‘other things’ for a very important client, give respect and attention to you. If you are tired, overwhelmed, exhausted, or elated and busy, make time for you. Sleep when you are tired. Ask for what you need: from loved ones [including children], friends, co-workers/ staff. Clearly communicating your needs will make EVERYTHING run more smoothly. Just as if you were organizing a meeting and dinner for an important client, organize your time / day / week to appeal to and please YOU. You will work better, feel better and be your best client, boss and co-worker.

Improve your memory in minutes

2011-09-26T05:16:00.000-07:00

Three sisters ages 92, 94 and 96 lived together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath, put one foot in and pauses. She yells down the stairs: “I can’t remember if I’m getting in or out!” The 94-year-old says: “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.” She gets half way up the way upstairs and pauses. She says: “I can’t remember if I was going up or down!” The 92-year-old shook her head and says: “I sure hope I’ll never get that forgetful. She knocks on wood for good measure. Then she says: “Hang on I’ll come help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door!”

What to do?

Everyone is expected to understand how to commit whatever they learn or read into memory in such a way that it can be easily recalled during test or examination. Many students fail in examination because of inability to recall and answer questions. Period of study will amount to nothing if what is learnt is not properly committed into memory. This aspect of studying is referred to as memorization. Christians have blessed memory which must be put into active use (Proverbs 10:7).

Human mind works like video tape or computer memory. It is important therefore for students at junior level to learn and develop good principles of memory improvement.

PLANNING

There cannot be memory improvement until there is an effective study plan. The rate of learning and retention can be improved with simple practices which include:

Understand what you study. You cannot do this until you the meanings of the words that make up what you are studying.
Develop interest in the subject.
Think through on what you are learning.
Use effective study methods like the popular SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review) method.

PRINCIPLE

Human memory is in two forms namely short-term memory and long-term memory. Short term memory lasts for about 20 to 30 seconds without rehearsal of the information but if rehearsed, it will last as long as the rehearsal continues. Long term memory is more permanent. The process of memorization therefore has to do with transferring things from short time memory into long term memory. When this process is not well undertaken, then, a learner goes into the realm of forgetting.

Retention is the amount of material you can remember. The first process of memory improvement is concentration. Disturbances or interference during studying affects our retention.

To improve our retention ability, the following principles can be adopted:

Attention: Active involvement and effective participation in classes or study. Ask relevant questions to clarify your doubt.
Recitation: This can be in forms of - thinking about it, writing it out, visualizing it, or saying it out loud, explaining to others.
Association: - linking new ideas with familiar ones in the environment e.g. associating scarcity concept with the last fuel scarcity.
Use of concrete imagery whenever possible. Close your eyes, get a picture of the explanation and then summarise answer.
Relationship: - linking new ideas or topics to previous one in the subject area
Formula method: Shorthand way of expressing long statements of fact. e.g. A = L x B,to express Area of a rectangle is equal to the product of length and breadth of the rectangle.
Use of Rhythm: Associating what is studied or learnt with a sound or poem pattern e.g. 30 days in September.

viii. Mnemonics: Using symbols to represent and recollect difficult ideas. e.g. Periodic Table, The names of the 12 Disciples - Bart (Bartholomew) and (Andrew) John fill (Phillip)Tom's mat (Matthew) (with) 2 James's, 2 Simons, and 2 Judas's.". Trigonometry – sin, cosine and tangent - SOHCAHTOA or One Ancient Teacher Of History Swore At His Class. MR NIGER for characteristics of living things.

Sharing. Try making the idea clear to a friend without referring to your book or notes. Sharing an idea helps to expand your reasoning ability during the process of talking.
Before - Class and After-Class Reading - form the habit of going through lessons to be taught before classes and immediately after, asking and answering questions will assist in assimilation.

PROFITING

Effective memory improvement will enrich your knowledge and prepare you well for examination. It will bring success, promotion and happiness in your life. Moreover, it will make you to avoid examination malpractice, develop a wholesome personality and be first among equals.

You too can be a genius. Indeed you are one already.

A young girl's exploit against her assailant

2011-09-26T04:26:00.000-07:00

Read this amazing story of a young girl's exploit against her assailant.

A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn’t afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he was waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God’s protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely. The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a line-up to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, “Because she wasn’t alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.” Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you’re never alone. Did you know that 98% of teenagers will not stand up for God? Re-post this as Love vs. Sex if you truly believe in God. PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what and if you stand up for him he will stand up for you. I bet 93% of the people that read this wont repose it. I read this and reposed it. Well I bet you read this note because of the title, didn’t you. GOD IS MOVING! :):) *share it to everyone! feel free to copy-paste OR share this note. this is not a private note.

1 Key Factor to Coca Cola’s Success

2011-09-23T08:43:00.000-07:00

What has made Coca Cola become the great success that it is? This article details one key success factor which has made the company’s sales skyrocket and its notoriety unparalleled.

Today, let’s talk about a company that has:

    The most widely recognized brand name in the world.
    A 10% share of the entire global market for non-alcoholic beverages.
    A monopoly on the very definition of a multinational corporation.

If you guessed The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO), then you’d be right.

Coca-Cola Pours Into Emerging Markets

If you live in America where Coca-Cola ads run everywhere from movie theatres’ opening credits to New York City store fronts, you probably wouldn’t know that it derives over 80% of sales, 75% of income and 95% of operating profits from abroad.

That makes sense though when you figure that its distribution network now covers more than 200 countries and has a 50% share of the global market for carbonated drinks.

Naturally, this opens up a very profitable blue-chip play for investors interested in capitalizing on economic growth overseas, and more specifically in emerging markets.

Because of flat sales in North America and even Europe, Coke has coped in the past through acquisitions of competitors like Nestea, Dasani and Vitaminwater over the last several years. Those purchases probably haven’t hurt, but they haven’t really helped either, since total case sales in North America dropped by 2% so far in 2009.

Yet growth in emerging markets continues rising at a brisk pace. In the second quarter of this year, Coca-Cola enjoyed 33% sales growth in India and 14% sales growth in China. And they remain untapped gushers if you look at both countries through the company’s measuring scale of bottles consumer per capita,

The average American drinks 412 bottles of Coke products a year. In China, that figure drops to 28 bottles and Indians consume only 7.

For example, India has a high birthrate and 1 billion people with an average age of 25… and trending lower. Since young people are particularly susceptible to the lure of carbonated, sugary drinks, that creates a particularly attractive Coke, especially as family incomes in India continue to rise.

Investors should step back a moment and think about those facts and figures … and the opportunities they raise. Because you can bet that Coca-Cola has.

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL

2011-09-22T11:59:00.000-07:00

Ever notice the lucky few walking among us? They always seem to get it right, do well and bring home the grand prize! These certain people all share a very specific mindset which enables them to make it big! Find out here what makes these people so successful!

1. They make decisions and take action
Right or wrong action, they take it. Either way it’s always better than making no decisions and taking no action at all. As Franklin Roosevelt said:

“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”

2. They do things even when they don´t feel like it
I think this is a pretty huge factor. A lot of us back down when we don´t want to do something, even though it may eventually bring us to a wonderful experience or goal. Successful people may not always like doing some of the things they have to do. But they do them anyway. And in the longer run that makes all the difference.

3. They do the most productive thing right now
Instead of trapping themselves in doing productive but not so important tasks or projects they realize what’s most important and do that. And after they´re done with that they do what´s most important again. Instead of just doing a lot of things, they think and plan before they act and try to focus as much as possible of their thoughts and actions on those few very important things.

4. They have redefined failure
While a lot of people see failure as a way to rationalizing the feeling of wanting to giving up or as a sign that it´s actually time to do something else successful people tend to see it more as useful feedback. They may not like to fail, but they don´t fear it – or at least they have little fear of it – and they know that if they fail they´ve been there before and they can start over again and succeed. This is of course a very useful belief and keeps successful people going while the rest have already given up.

5. They don´t let fear hold them back
They overcome fear and slay that dragon whenever they face it. Or they may have defined or redefined reality so that fear is substantially decreased or even gone in some areas of their life.

Doing this enables you to take action on your thoughts. This pulls down the barriers in the mind and create new roads and opens up to whole new possibilities. Have a look at 5 Life-Changing Keys to Overcoming Your Fear for more on both slaying your dragons and redefining your reality to contain less fear.

Scientific explanation to why some people are lucky in life

For centuries, people have recognized the power of luck and have done whatever they could to try seizing it. Take knocking on wood, thought to date back to pagan rituals aimed at eliciting help from powerful tree gods. We still do it today, though few, if any, of us worship tree gods. So why do we pass this and other superstitions down from generation to generation? The answer lies in the power of luck.

Live a Charmed Life

To investigate scientifically why some people are consistently lucky and others aren't, I advertised in national periodicals for volunteers of both varieties. Four hundred men and women from all walks of life -- ages 18 to 84 -- responded.

Over a ten-year period, I interviewed these volunteers, asked them to complete diaries, personality questionnaires and IQ tests, and invited them to my laboratory for experiments. Lucky people, I found, get that way via some basic principles -- seizing chance opportunities; creating self-fulfilling prophecies through positive expectations; and adopting a resilient attitude that turns bad luck around.

Open Your Mind

Consider chance opportunities: Lucky people regularly have them; unlucky people don't. To determine why, I gave lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to tell me how many photos were inside. On average, unlucky people spent about two minutes on this exercise; lucky people spent seconds. Why? Because on the paper's second page -- in big type -- was the message "Stop counting: There are 43 photographs in this newspaper." Lucky people tended to spot the message. Unlucky ones didn't. I put a second one halfway through the paper: "Stop counting, tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250." Again, the unlucky people missed it.

The lesson: Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they're too busy looking for something else. Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they're looking for.

This is only part of the story. Many of my lucky participants tried hard to add variety to their lives. Before making important decisions, one altered his route to work. Another described a way of meeting people. He noticed that at parties he usually talked to the same type of person. To change this, he thought of a color and then spoke only to guests wearing that color -- women in red, say, or men in black.

Does this technique work? Well, imagine living in the center of an apple orchard. Each day you must collect a basket of apples. At first, it won't matter where you look. The entire orchard will have apples. Gradually, it becomes harder to find apples in places you've visited before. If you go to new parts of the orchard each time, the odds of finding apples will increase dramatically. It is exactly the same with luck.

Relish the Upside

Another important principle revolved around the way in which lucky and unlucky people deal with misfortune. Imagine representing your country in the Olympics. You compete, do well, and win a bronze medal. Now imagine a second Olympics. This time you do even better and win a silver medal. How happy do you think you'd feel? Most of us think we'd be happier after winning the silver medal.

But research suggests athletes who win bronze medals are actually happier. This is because silver medalists think that if they'd performed slightly better, they might have won a gold medal. In contrast, bronze medalists focus on how if they'd performed slightly worse, they wouldn't have won anything. Psychologists call this ability to imagine what might have happened, rather than what actually happened, "counter-factual" thinking.

To find out if lucky people use counter-factual thinking to ease the impact of misfortune, I asked my subjects to imagine being in a bank. Suddenly, an armed robber enters and fires a shot that hits them in the arms. Unlucky people tended to say this would be their bad luck to be in the bank during the robbery. Lucky people said it could have been worse: "You could have been shot in the head." This kind of thinking makes people feel better about themselves, keeps expectations high, and increases the likelihood of continuing to live a lucky life.

Learn to Be Lucky

Finally, I created a series of experiments examining whether thought and behaviour can enhance good fortune.

First came one-on-one meetings, during which participants completed questionnaires that measured their luck and their satisfaction with six key areas of their lives. I then outlined the main principles of luck, and described techniques designed to help participants react like lucky people. For instance, they were taught how to be more open to opportunities around them, how to break routines, and how to deal with bad luck by imagining things being worse. They were asked to carry out specific exercises for a month and then report back to me.

The results were dramatic: 80 percent were happier and more satisfied with their lives -- and luckier. One unlucky subject said that after adjusting her attitude -- expecting good fortune, not dwelling on the negative -- her bad luck had vanished. One day, she went shopping and found a dress she liked. But she didn't buy it, and when she returned to the store in a week, it was gone. Instead of slinking away disappointed, she looked around and found a better dress -- for less. Events like this made her a much happier person.

Her experience shows how thoughts and behaviour affect the good and bad fortune we encounter. It proves that the most elusive of holy grails -- an effective way of taking advantage of the power of luck -- is available to us all.
