Lopez . The most popular girl at Notre dame High. She was head cheerleader,
Prom Queen, Student Body President and a straight-A student. She was so perfect
that it made me want to dislike her, but I couldn&#39;t. Because the truth was that
Megan was a really nice person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;When I
passed her in the hallway at school, she always smiled at me but rarely stopped
to talk. Megan was friendly with everyone, but her true friends were all in the
popular crowd. And I wasn&#39;t exactly hanging with them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;But
when I saw Megan at the drugstore one Saturday morning, she was chatty and all
smiles. &quot;Hi, Diane,&quot; she said. &quot;How are you?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
smiled back. &quot;I&#39;m doing great. How about you?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;I&#39;m
good, but kinda tired. I had to cheer last night.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

yeah, I forgot about the game. Did our team win?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

nodded. &quot;You weren&#39;t there?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

shrugged. &quot;I don&#39;t go to a lot of school stuff.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;Oh,
you should. It&#39;s really fun.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
shrugged again and said nothing. But in my head, I thought, &quot;Well, sure,
everything is fun if you&#39;re Megan Lopez.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

glanced at Megan&#39;s cart and spotted several bottles of hair conditioner.
Megan&#39;s hair was gorgeous and I instantly decided to switch brands.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;Well,
I guess I&#39;ll see you later,&quot; Megan said, starting to push her cart down
the aisle. &quot;Have a fun weekend.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;Yeah,
you too,&quot; I said, already knowing that she would.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
grabbed a bottle of Megan&#39;s brand of conditioner and the other things I needed
and then went through the checkout line. Megan got behind me in line.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I waved
awkwardly and said, &quot;Hi again.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;She smiled
and waved back.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I paid
for my stuff and went out to my car, an old hatchback. It was my brother&#39;s car,
which was passed down to me when he went away to college. It was a real junker,
but it was mine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I put
my stuff in the back and was climbing into the car when I heard someone calling
my name. It was Megan. “Diane, your car -- it&#39;s so cute!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;You
think my car is cute?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;Well,
not the car itself, but the windows. that&#39;s really sweet.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
nodded and glanced at my car windows. I&#39;d forgotten about the car&#39;s homemade
decorations. On one window were the words, &quot;I love you,&quot; written in
wipe-off marker. Another window said, &quot;You are beautiful,&quot; and a
third read, &quot;I believe in you.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;That&#39;s
so nice,&quot; Megan said, &quot;but I didn&#39;t know you had a boyfriend.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;Oh,
I don&#39;t,&quot; I said, suddenly ashamed of my cute car windows.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

who wrote on your car?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

um, my dad did,&quot; I answered quietly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

dad did that? Your dad took the time to write on your car windows, just to, you
know, make you feel good?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
nodded, wishing like crazy I&#39;d thought quickly enough to make up an imaginary
boyfriend from another school. But I&#39;d told the truth, which was beyond
embarrassing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

looked at Megan and realized she had tears in her eyes. &quot;My dad would
never do that for me,&quot; she muttered. &quot;You are so lucky.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

mouth dropped open. Megan Williams thought I was lucky?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;I
bet your mom&#39;s great too, right?&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I
nodded. &quot;Yeah, I guess. She stays at home a lot. She bakes cookies and
helps me with my homework and stuff.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Megan
sighed. &quot;I&#39;d give anything to have a family like that.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&quot;But
you have everything,&quot; I said. &quot;A perfect life.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;She
shook her head. &quot;Not really. Not in the ways that matter.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;After that,
Megan always stopped to talk with me in the hallway. We even started hanging
out outside of school. I&#39;d offer to meet her at McDonald&#39;s or Subway, but she
always wanted to come to my house. She seemed to love talking with my parents
over a homemade dinner and playing board games with my family.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;It was
totally uncool, but it was what Megan wanted to do. I didn&#39;t understand why,
but I didn&#39;t care. I&#39;d always wanted to be friends with someone like Megan. I
thought hanging out with her would make me popular and that would make me
happy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #777777; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;But
just being Megan&#39;s friend made me happy. The other stuff didn&#39;t matter anymore.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

later, Megan and I were talking about the day my dad wrote on my car windows.
&quot;I was so jealous of you,&quot; she admitted. &quot;People think I have
this great life, but I have struggles too.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-indent: 18.75pt;&quot;&gt;

nodded because now that we were friends, I knew the truth about Megan&#39;s life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

you know what? I decided something that day,&quot; she said. &quot;Rather than
feel bad that I don&#39;t have a dad that would do something like that for me, I
decided to hang out with your family.&quot; She looked at me, determination in
her eyes. &quot;Someday when I&#39;m married, I&#39;m going to have a family like
yours. My kids are going to feel so loved.&quot;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

realized in that moment that many things in this life are beyond our control.
We can&#39;t change the family we were born into. Whether they&#39;re terrific or
completely dysfunctional, we can only do our best to learn from what we&#39;re
given.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

did that. And she showed me that I was the LUCKY ONE after all.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/05/lucky-one.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-5390096464270423585</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-27T16:30:30.219+02:00</atom:updated><title>LIFE</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Courier New&#39;, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life isn&#39;t about trying to be perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;You&#39;re different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;You&#39;re special.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;But maybe you don&#39;t really feel
  like that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Have you ever found yourself
  standing in the middle of a crowd? You look around, and you can&#39;t see anyone
  you know ... and you&#39;re sure that no one in that crowd knows you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;You&#39;ve had that feeling, haven&#39;t
  you? When you&#39;re standing in the middle of that crowd you have a strong
  feeling that no one even knows you exist. And just at that moment you
  probably also feel like there&#39;s nothing special about you at all. You&#39;re just
  another person ... another face in the crowd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Well, that&#39;s not an unusual
  feeling to have. You&#39;re not the first person to feel that way. But you&#39;re
  wrong. I can guarantee it. You&#39;re not just another face in the crowd. As I
  said a moment ago,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;you
  are unique&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;... you are special ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;there is no one else in
  all the world exactly like you&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;And no, I am not just trying to
  make you feel good. What I&#39;m saying is absolutely true. Scientists have
  proved it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;In the first place, you know that
  police and government departments use fingerprints to identify people. They
  put some ink on your fingers and press them on paper, and they can tell by
  the patterns that your fingers leave if you really are the person you say you
  are. That&#39;s because no two people in the world have the same fingerprints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;And that&#39;s only one way you are
  different. Some scientists in Japan have discovered that your lips are
  special too. Just like your fingerprints, your lips have little markings on
  them, little grooves in the skin ... and everyone has a different pattern.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;And there&#39;s something else that
  really is well known ... no one else smells exactly like you. That&#39;s not an
  insult. It&#39;s a fact. That&#39;s why police tracking dogs can follow one person&#39;s
  trail for long distances just by the smell they leave behind on the ground
  they touch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;But that&#39;s only a small beginning
  of the ways you are different -- you are unique. Eyes can be used for
  identification -- just like fingerprints -- because every eye in the world is
  different.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;One doctor in the United States made a study of what is inside of
  people ... and he discovered that even your stomach is different from
  everyone else&#39;s. No two are exactly the same size or shape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Then there is your heart. It&#39;s
  different, too. No two people in the world have hearts that are exactly the
  same size or shape. Then there is the system of veins and arteries that
  carries your blood all through your body. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s also different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;So you see ... you are unique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;You are different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;No one -- anywhere -- is exactly
  like you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp;YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;May God Bless Us All...... Have a Better Life. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

You do this by attacking the &quot;disadvantage complex.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#39;t be tricked, tripped, and trapped by the disadvantages complexes if one or more are bothering you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &quot; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&#39;m too Old.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth is you are &lt;b&gt;never too old to change. &lt;/b&gt;You are not too old to change until you give up.Only when you reach to the point where you don&#39;t care anymore - then, and only then-are you old. You are not old until you have lost your vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I&#39;m handicapped.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The most serious handicap any person can have is an impossibility complex. For him, everything is impossible. You are not handicap until you think you are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I don&#39;t have time, money, or energy to do what I&#39;d like to do.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Are you sure? Many successful businessman started from nothing. You will find time if you spend your time wisely. you always have energy if you will not allow yourself to be drained from useless and nonsense issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I am from a lowly background.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So what? No one&#39;s background or past is disadvantageous unless he makes it so in his thinking! Remember, any disadvantage rightly handled can be turned into an advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I came from a broken home. I had an awful childhood.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;My parents quarreled, then divorced, and I was shuttled back and forth. I am afraid I am an emotional cripple for the rest of my life.&lt;b&gt;&quot; Is that so?&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Only if you want it to be. It&#39;s your choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I don&#39;t know the right people.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what? Get acquainted with big people. If you have a reason. Don&#39;t be afraid. Successful and important people are usually interested in helping other people with good ideas. All you need is the nerve to contact these kind of people. You can build a friendship with famous people if you forget your inferiority feelings, muster great nerve and walk up confidently to enthusiastically introduce yourself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot; I don&#39;t have a good education.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&quot;&lt;/b&gt;My I.Q. is lower than others.&quot; So What. &quot;First prizes don&#39;t always go to the brightest and strongest man. Again and again the man who wins is the man who is sure that he can.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;You are not a failure. You are not an accident. You are special with unique potentials. &amp;nbsp;Your life here on earth has a purpose. One of that purpose is for you to be successful in all your endeavors, plans, goals and dreams. Don&#39;t let &amp;nbsp;negativism pull you down, Stand up and Go for it! &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;May God bless us all richly! :)&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/03/use-pma-positive-mental-attitude.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-6654206796033995610</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-13T01:11:33.610+02:00</atom:updated><title>Don&#39;t Sweat The Small Stuff.</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
Here are some simple ways to keep little things from taking over your life:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ask yourself the question. &lt;/i&gt;&quot;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Will this matter a year from now?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Is what you are worked up over going to matter a year from now? If not, don&#39;t let it destroy you today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Practice Humility. &lt;/i&gt;The less compelled you are to try to prove yourself to others; the easier it is to feel peace inside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Remember that you become what you practice the most. &lt;/i&gt;How do you spend your time? What you do is what you become.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Everyday, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them. &lt;/i&gt;Telling others that you appreciate them takes almost no effort, but pays enormous dividends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Choose your battles wisely. &lt;/i&gt;Every circumstance or problem is not worth the fight. There will always be things and people that don&#39;t do right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. &lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Life is a test. &lt;/i&gt;It is only a test. When you look at life as a test, you begin to see each issue as an opportunity to grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; Remind yourself that when you die, your &quot;In Basket&quot; won&#39;t be empty. &lt;/i&gt;The purpose of life isn&#39;t necessarily to get all done, but to to the right things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. &amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Learn to live in a present moment. &quot;&lt;/i&gt;Life is what&#39;s happening while we&#39;re busy making other plans.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. &lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Think of what you have, instead of what you want. &lt;/i&gt;Contentment is not always waiting for some future event to happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10.&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Understand the statement &quot; Wherever you go, there you are.&quot; &lt;/i&gt;We tend to believe that if we were somewhere else, we&#39;d be happy. Whatever you are thats what you&#39;ll be wherever you go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11.&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Become a better listener.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Most of us are only adequate listeners, but the best gift you can give someone is to listen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. &lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Be grateful when you&#39;re feeling good and graceful when you&#39;re feeling bad. &lt;/i&gt;Good and bad come and go. No one is either happy or sad all the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
13.&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Resist the urge to criticize. &lt;/i&gt;When we judge or criticize someone it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
14. &lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;See the Innocence.&lt;/i&gt; One of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people&#39;s behavior. We see them as &quot;guilty&quot; instead of &amp;nbsp;&quot;innocent&quot;. But, when you see others as not trying to hurt you, you can relax.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/03/dont-sweat-small-stuff.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-5467571815292755190</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-08T22:24:51.018+02:00</atom:updated><title>Do Your Best</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s not always easy to know which path to follow, which decision to make, or what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is a series of new horizons, new hopes, new days, and changes that come to you. And we all need some help with these things from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember these things: Dream it. Do it. And discover how special you are. Be positive, for your attitude will affect the outcome of many things. Ask for help when you need it; seek the wisdom the world holds and hold on to it. Make some progress every single day. Begin. Relieve. And become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give yourself all the credit you’re due; don’t short change your qualities, your abilities, or any of the things that are so unique about you. Remember how precious life can be. Imagine. Invest the time it takes to reach out for your dreams; it will bring you happiness that no money on earth can buy. Don’t be afraid; no mountain is too big to climb if you do it at your own pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s the best thing to do? That’s simple:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do Your Best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And everything else will fall into place.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/03/do-your-best.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-1149034993892274839</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-03-05T19:28:27.119+02:00</atom:updated><title>Most Richly Blessed</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I asked God for health, that I might do greater things,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I asked for riches, that I might be happy,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I was given poverty, that I might be wise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I got nothing, I asked for----&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;but everything I have hoped for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;“&lt;i&gt;A
positive mental attitude is the starting point of all riches,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Have you ever wondered why some people look
shiny and why they are always cheerful? Despite their bad circumstances or
their poverty, those people know that they will achieve something in their
life. They always see a chance in every problem that faces them. They always
expect the good things and claim it. Those people usually enjoy a good health
and live a wonderful life. The secret is ‘the Positive Mental Attitude‘.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I want you now to get a paper and a pen.
Write down all your problems whether it is financial, job, emotional or even
psychological. Now look at your problems and think for few minutes, what is the
worst thing that can be caused by any problem? Whatever the bad results it will
never kill you. What really can end your life as you know is your fear and your
negative thoughts. If your manager called you to his office you keep asking,
what wrong did I do? How will be the punishment? Will he fire me? You never
thought he will promote you, “happy birthday! Today is your birthday and you
can go home early to celebrate with your family”. That’s why your manager
called you. But you just wasted few minutes in your negative thoughts adding
some pressure on your brain and health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I don’t want to make it long, so I will talk
directly and tell you these words by my own tongue and my heart also “your
thinking _whether it is positive or negative _ will not change the problem, but
if it is positive you can see all the sides and find the solution quickly and
pass it with minimal effect, and if it is negative you will gain extra load and
pressure and you will keep thinking about the problem not about the solution”. No
need to fear, no need for pressure. Be positive in everything, love, marriage,
work even if you were ill, be positive and you will recover quickly ;)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The clock doesn’t stop and you can’t catch
the time. You have hours to live, may be millions, may be hundreds or may be
few. So, believe it… your life will not be beautiful unless you love everything
about it. Love your life, your studies, your problems and every small thing in
your life, enjoy it. You can add some fruits to your life, fruits in everything
and everywhere. By seeing the good end in every scene and expecting the sun
from behind the glooms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Steps and hints to have the highest PMA, wait
for us in the next articles. God blesses all of you and we wish you a better
life &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Wingdings;&quot;&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/03/pma.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mahmoud Ramadan)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-3397524794871183702</guid><pubDate>Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-27T17:22:44.412+02:00</atom:updated><title>Risk or Run Scared</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; There are no absolute guarantees. No fail-safe plans. No perfectly reliable designs. No risk-free arrangements. Life refuses to be that neat and clean. Not even the neurotics, who go to the extreme measures to make positively sure, are protective from their obsessive fears. Running scared invariably blows up in one&#39;s face. All who fly risk crashing. All who drive risk colliding. All who run risk falling. All who walk risk stumbling. All who live risk &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;something.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To reach out for another is to risk involvement.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To love is to risk not being loved in return.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To hope is to risk despair.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To try is to risk failure.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Running scared in life is the cause of ineffectiveness. Try to cover every base at all times. Become paranoid all over your front, your flanks and your rear. Think about every possible peril, focus on the dangers, concern yourself with the &quot;what ifs&quot; instead of the &quot;why not?&quot; and other negative thoughts. And before you know it &quot; the paralysis of analysis&quot; will set in. So will loneliness and isolation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; STOP BEING SCARED !!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Some have overcame regardless of the risks. Some have merged into greatness despite adversity. They refuse to listen to their fears. Nothing anyone says or does holding them back. Disabilities and disappointments are not the hindrances. Tell your fears - GET OFF!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
EFFECTIVENESS- SOMETIMES GREATNESS- AWAITS THOSE &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;WHO REFUSE TO RUN&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; SCARED!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;God blesses you all...and Have a better life ;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

What is the driving&amp;nbsp;force in your life?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Right now you may be driven by a problem, a pressure, or a deadline. You may be driven by a painful memory, a haunting fear, or an unconscious belief, incurable disease. There are hundreds of circumstances, values, and emotions that can drive your life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Many people are driven by guilt. &lt;/b&gt;They spend their entire lives running from regrets and hiding their shame. They allow their past to control their future. We are products of our past but we don&#39;t have a prisoner of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Many people are driven by resentment and anger. &lt;/b&gt;They hold on to hurts and never get over them. Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent.&lt;br /&gt;
Listen: Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it.You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it and then let it go.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt; Many people are driven by fear. &lt;/b&gt;Their fears maybe a result of a traumatic experience, unrealistic expectations, growing up in a high control home, or even genetic predisposition. Regardless of the cause, fear-driven people often miss great opportunities because they are afraid to venture out. Instead they play it safe. avoiding risk and trying to maintain a status quo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Many people are driven by the need for approval.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;They allow the expectations of parents or spouses or children or teachers or friends to control their lives.Many adults are still trying to earn the approval of unpleasable parents. Others are driven by peer pressure, always worried by what others might think. Unfortunately, those who follow the crowd usually get lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Do you know your life&#39;s purpose? Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason. Without a purpose, life is trivial, petty and pointless.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Join with us again on our next issue on how to know the purpose of life. God bless us all. if you want your life to have impact, focus it!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-drives-your-life.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-9038103491009268886</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-20T17:11:29.907+02:00</atom:updated><title>The Daily Dozen</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;Here are a dozen exercises to help make your dream come true.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;* &lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Examine &lt;/i&gt;your life at the moment. The first step toward making your dream come true is to find out where you are right now. That takes close scrutiny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ex&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;change &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;all of your little options for one big dream. Every dream has it&#39;s price.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;*&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Expose &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;yourself to successful people. It is true that birds of a feather flock together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;* &amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Express &lt;/i&gt;your belief in your dream.Write it down or talk about it frequently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* Expect &lt;/i&gt;opposition to your dream..Every nitpicker will oppose yours. &amp;nbsp;You will never rid yourself of them. As long as you understand that. You won&#39;t let them hinder you. Remember that those who have no dream cannot see yours, so to them it is impossible. You can&#39;t have what you can&#39;t see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* Exercise&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;all of your effort, all of your energy, toward the dream. It&#39;s worth to pay the price !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* Extract &lt;/i&gt;every positive principle that you can from. life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* Exclude&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;negative thinkers as close friends . You don&#39;t need to spend much time with them. You may need to put some distance between yourself and your negative thinking friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;* Exceed &lt;/i&gt;normal expectation to make your dream come true. If you&#39;re to reach you&#39;re dream, you&#39;ll have to do which is beyond normal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;*Exhibit&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;an attitude that is confident..I believe that if you are outwardly confident, you will become more confident inwardly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;*&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Explore &lt;/i&gt;every positive avenue to reach your dream. Don&#39;t let detour dead-end street stop you on your own way to a dream that God has given you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;*&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Extend &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;a helping hand to someone who has a similar dream, and both of you will climb together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://haveabetterlife5.blogspot.com/2012/02/daily-dozen.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173416853039491455.post-466456897741321706</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-16T22:28:28.327+02:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that my attitude determines everything.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that if you don&#39;t let go of the past, you will never appreciate the present.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that through the hardest of times is when you will see the true strength of your soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that we all have what it takes to make a difference in this world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that if you don&#39;t have your health, you don&#39;t have anything,&amp;nbsp;so cherish your body and take care of your soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that if you don&#39;t believe in yourself, then no one else will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that change can be good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that good friends are family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me to always follow my heart and never be afraid to love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that the simple things in life are actually most significant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that you are the secret to your own your success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me that true wisdom is found in failure and gained through experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times,&#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Life has taught me to always have passion and never stop pursuing your dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWQrxjRDHSAS0aUjOv38nlZDZMAz1o_xPykMQcfUUNrsr6sn_EGw0KMthTo2PgCmtgzwn3tRuGHlY_xNdRjLOHHz6nAtkrNIdxQtfgEYxg-9czaf48x6I7cybzTz_DXFfmoA6cXEmamrl/s1600/Life-Graphic-Quotes-Wallpapers-9.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWQrxjRDHSAS0aUjOv38nlZDZMAz1o_xPykMQcfUUNrsr6sn_EGw0KMthTo2PgCmtgzwn3tRuGHlY_xNdRjLOHHz6nAtkrNIdxQtfgEYxg-9czaf48x6I7cybzTz_DXFfmoA6cXEmamrl/s320/Life-Graphic-Quotes-Wallpapers-9.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I don’t know if you are rich or poor, old or
young, man or woman … but most of us have limited their imaginations and killed
most of their dreams because they lost hope that it will come true, because of so many circumstances that are happening in our lives everyday. They thought it is so difficult to claim such
dreams and to believe that their imaginations may come to reality one day because of the circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Did you ask one day for more money, health,
smartness, some talent, physical fitness… etc? You didn’t get that all the
time, right? I know how it feels. I’ve been put in situations that made me ask
for a lot of abilities and power. I wanted to have a lot of money to buy all
the stuffs I want, I wanted to have a car that attract a lot of girls :D, I
wanted to be a great singer so that I can rock all the parties and get all the
lights … and so many more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You and I know that if we have all the
things we want, we will reach our dreams. But what we don’t know is that we
already have a lot, and better than we ask for. You want money to help you, are
you sure it won’t take your eyes away from your targets? You want to be
talented or smart or strong, are you sure you won’t lose anyone you love?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Look at yourself! Contemplate what you have
done! Even if you think you did nothing, at least you survived in spite of your
weakness. You are smart enough to understand the difference between right and
wrong. (In fact if you can do it, you are wise) Your body is strong enough to
fight billions and billions of microbes and diseases. Your country doesn’t
suffer from occupation, you can sleep in peace. You have enough money to buy you
food and some clothes to cover you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You may say “hey it is not that easy“… but
believe me, it isn’t that difficult. You have the perfect, optimum and the
proper circumstances that will help you reach your goals and achieve your
dreams. You just need to use your mind and make use of it. But first you need to
have a great Positive Mental Attitude.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wait for us the next articles to tell you how
to obtain a great Positive Mental Attitude. Best wishes for all, and God
bless you !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You have
done a lot in your life, may be!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;You have won
a lot and you are blessed sure!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;You may feel
you have already reached your stability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;You may feel
you are in &lt;b&gt;the safe zone&lt;/b&gt;… it is your safe circle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; That circle
that keeps &lt;i&gt;limiting&lt;/i&gt; your creativity, dreams and abilities… just to give you the
impression that everything is Okay, No it is not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;It is not a
safe circle, everything is not okay with it, you need to move, you need to take
some risks, you need to know the real YOU, and yes you can.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;

no one can deny that he has great ideas in his mind that may change his life or
his nation life 180 degree. Your ideas may help you to get richer, smarter and
better by any mean. The problem is you still in your safe circle. You don’t
want to move because you feel you are stable and everything is ok now. Let me
tell you … how many ideas been killed by their owner cowardice!! Why are you
still in your circle? Break it ... release your power … set your ideas free … watch

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;By: Robert Ballard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you have a &quot;lifelong dream&quot;.. Anything &quot;dominating your life&quot; enough to hold your attention for thirteen or more years as &lt;i&gt;Robert Ballard&lt;/i&gt;? ...Some &quot;adventurous journey &quot; you&#39;d love to participate in....some discovery you long to make...some enterprise you secretly imagine? Without a dream, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white. A dream fuels our fire. It keeps our mind in gear, makes us press on. All of us are surrounded by and benefit from the results of the dream of someone else. Let me name few.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. Above my head is a bright electric light. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, Edison.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. On my nose are eyeglasses that enable me to focus. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, Franklin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. In our driveway is a car ready to take me wherever I choose to steer it. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, Ford.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;.Across my shelves are books full of interesting and carefully researched pages. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, authors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. Coming into my ears through the day are sounds of beautiful music, each piece representing a different mix of melody and rhythm...lyrics that linger. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, composers.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. Flashing through my mind are ideas, memories, stimulating thoughts and creative skill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Thanks, teachers. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;. Deep inside me are personality traits, strong convictions, a sense of right and wrong, a love for God, an ethical compass, a lifelong commitment to the one I love and family. &lt;i&gt;Thanks, parents.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;My list could continue another page. So could yours. Because some cared enough to dream, to pursue, to follow through and complete their quest to achieve their lifelong dream so that our lives are more comfortable and more stable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;How about you? Are you dreaming about writing an article or a book? &lt;/b&gt;Write it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Are you wondering if all that work with your kids, and family is worth it? &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;It&#39;s worth it. Keep pursuing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Want to go back to school and finish that degree? &lt;/i&gt;Go back and do it...pay the price,even if it takes years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Can&#39;t get that tune out or your head....got some songs that need to get on paper ?&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;See it through. Work at it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Thinking about going into business for yourself? &lt;/i&gt;Why not!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;DREAM ON......!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Everyone is blessed but most of us don&#39;t feel it , most of us don&#39;t know all the blessings we have .&lt;br /&gt;
When I was young, I had a lot of dreams and I almost achieved all of them but .... I didn&#39;t feel the eternal ultimate happiness as I expected ! I was confused. I have done what I had to do , then why ? but later I found out the answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I stopped feeling and &amp;nbsp;enjoying these dreams because I considered them as facts in my life and took them for granted but that was wrong .&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In brief, We set targets and goals for ourselves and we work a lot to reach it but we forget that we do that to feel happy and satisfied , Here are some blessings in your life., you may take them for granted&lt;br /&gt;
* If You wake up in the morning with more health than illness &amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE BLESSED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If You have never been lonely in prison , never experienced the agony of torture and the pang of starvation &amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE BLESSED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If You have food in your refrigerator , clothes on your back , roof over your head and a place to sleep .... you never experience to sleep on the ground forever &amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE BLESSED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If You have your parents and still married and alive &amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE BLESSED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* If You have someone to hold your hand and smile to you &amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;YOU ARE BLESSED&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Even if you don&#39;t have something of the above _ or you don&#39;t have any _ you are still blessed ... you are a man, not an animal , you have a brain, not insane , you are alive, not dead. and best of All that Allah Loves you .....&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Till we meet in the next article , God bless everyone .... &lt;u&gt;Wait For Us&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
