Zig On…The ABC’s Of Love

2010-05-05T00:22:00.000-07:00

By Zig Ziglar

Psychiatrist Louis B. Cady of Evansville, Indiana, gives us the ABC’s of love as it relates to our children. When I read this I knew that I wanted to share it with my readers. Enjoy!

Accept your child–not as perfect, not as a “model,” but as a basically good kid.

Be there! You can’t be absent all the time, nor can you show your interest or love for your child if you aren’t present. Be there for football games, dance recitals and the like.

Care for your child. Even when s(he) messes up!

Discipline; don’t punish. It takes “guts” to discipline; it only takes a “wimp” of a parent to let kids get by with anything.

Expect the best: Generally, you’ll get what you expect (bad or good).

Family–the center around which the child’s life should revolve. School, friends and games are the “planets” which should circle around the “sun” of the family.

God/Spiritual - pick yours carefully; there will ALWAYS be a “god” of something in your and your family’s life. Make sure it’s a good one. This doesn’t mean you have to be a ”super-Christian” or go to church seven days a week. It DOES mean that you must instill some sense of spirituality, moral order, and ethics in your child.

Honesty–the bedrock of good character. Make sure you demonstrate it by example.

Interest–in your child. If you aren’t interested, the friendly local drug pusher will be.

Joy– in raising children, watching them develop, being a part of their lives, seeing them turn out as wonderful adults.

Kindness–in discipline and relationships with your kids. Avoid harshness or punitiveness.

Listen! Frequently, YOU are wrong. You are a parent, not God, and certainly not infallible.

Motivate–don’t intimidate.

NO to negativity! Be positive! Any dummy can be negative about things that anyone else does, especially kids. Look for the good in your child and emphasize it. Things that are focused on and emphasized get bigger and stronger.

Open to questions and concerns of your child; be open to examine your own actions and motivations, as well.

Practice (makes perfect); you can mess up, and you don’t have to be perfect. Just don’t make a habit of it. Learn from your mistakes.

Question; interact–your child will not always tell you unless you ask and demonstrate interest.

Reason with your teenager; don’t demand or command arrogantly when there is a disagreement. If you must, discipline, but not until you have attempted reason.

Say your feelings–your child is not telepathic. It’s also important to frequently “say” your feelings of love and affection.

Touch–your child with hugs and kisses. Hugs are appropriate for virtually all ages. Don’t be embarrassed, and don’t get out of the “HUG HABIT”!

Unity–as a family. Don’t allow splits or divisions to develop between warring “factions.”

Value your time together–you won’t have it forever.

Wonder at the priceless gift of your lives together–you will value it more and do more with it.

X marks the spot for your treasure: the home and your family.

You–the critical person who must show your efforts, caring, affection, interest, honesty. Don’t wait to respond; INITIATE!

Zero— the serious problems you will have in your and your teenager’s life if you follow these principles.

Based on his research and practice, Dr. Cady believes this alphabet of love will make a positive difference in your child and your relationship with that child.

Look for his book; think about it and I’ll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Zig Ziglar is known as America’s motivator. He is the author of 29 books and numerous audio and video recordings. He brings his message of hope to thousands on the stages at the Get Motivated Seminars.

"We all Believe in the MIRACLE of miniaturization..." "Todos creemos en el MILAGRO de la miniaturizacion..." WOW, so very SIMPLE

2010-04-28T02:04:00.000-07:00

Drugs alone can't stop disease in sub-Saharan Africa: We need diagnostic tools to match. TED Senior Fellow Frederick Balagadde shows how we can multiply the power and availability of an unwieldy, expensive diagnostic lab -- by miniaturizing it to the size of a chip.
TED Senior Fellow Frederick Balagadde invented the micro-chemostat, a first-of-its-kind, dime-sized piece of transparent plastic that can orchestrate the behavior of living cells.

Say It Simple: Psalm 119 - Salmo 119

2010-04-06T07:22:00.000-07:00

PSALM 119

Ambrosio de Milán, en su latín castizo, lo describe como:

"Veluti pleniluminis solem meridiano ferventem calore"

"Un sol de plena luz, que hierve con el calor del mediodía"

"A full sun light, boiling with the heat of noon"

Say It Simple: Prayer - Does It Make Any Difference?

2010-03-18T11:09:00.001-07:00

In his most powerful book since What’s So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey explores the intimate place where God and humans meet in Prayer. Polls reveal that 90 percent of people pray. Yet prayer, which should be the most nourishing and uplifting time of the believer’s day, can also be frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, Yancey probes such questions as: •Is God listening? •Why should God care about me? •If God knows everything, what’s the point of prayer? •Why do answers to prayer seem so inconsistent? •Why does God sometimes seem close and sometimes seem far away? •How can I make prayer more satisfying? Yancey tackles the tough questions and in the process comes up with a fresh new approach to this timeless topic.

Prayer Does It Make Any Difference?

In Prayer, Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat—the most fundamental, challenging, perplexing, and deeply rewarding aspect—of your relationship with God. What is prayer? Does it change God’s mind or ours—or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father, who invites you into an eternal partnership through prayer.

HOW GOD SAVED MY TWO CHILDREN FROM FIRE

2010-02-13T00:33:00.000-08:00

Say It SImple: Juanes ">

What if I am a failure in life? The truth I lost a lot, but I do not think, for I am almost finished reading a book by Dr. John Maxwell entitled "Failing Forward" and the truth now aligns the whole universe showing me a new perspective in my heart.
Today was one of those days that never fade from my mind, because when I got home from my two children (not living with them two years ago by the way), very happy and welcomed me with kisses, do not like having a beard they noticed it immediately, but that pass to the background when digging in my pockets or my bag if I brought a surprise to them, while the mother and their grandmother's face looking at me with terror almost with tears in her eyes because what happened the day before, for them only experience that goes unnoticed in a garden with sandpit, while neighbor's house burned and firefighters, police and ambulances tried to extinguish the fire and save the life of this man's suicide 63 years.
After drinking two bottles of alcohol and half a jar full of pills, cut his hands and neck burned all the belongings of his wife by a love bug that had not been resolved. The outcome: five homes committed by flames, a great commotion in the neighborhood, a tremendous emotional impact for the wife of the man in intensive care fighting death. She does not know about the man to die because she fears for her life.
While my two babies were in the shower with her grandmother who cares for them even before seeing the light, John David the older boy said to his grandmother, Arita smells like fire! Those were his words, and still soapy shampoo on their heads left naked in each arm of their grandmother, who in the midst of despair and with God in control of everything, moved up three floors in a jiffy for clothes to dress them, take them to a neighbor, save back to ensure all children's belongings and their mom, calling her three daughters crying for what happened and many other things she could do as a second and a half.
Everything happened so fast, but no one can explain as 5 homes were affected around the house while my children only had a little damage and only their clothes and toys were smelling smoke, burning plastic and concrete.
Looking back the balance of my life eleven years prior to the failures and losses have left indelible marks:
1999: Earthquake destroys my city almost completely.
I leave my family and friends for coming to study in the capital
2000: The first love of my life now looks like a vague memory, a
man shadow of its past can only be with her at all
days while I prepared a place for her eight hours away
to engage with her.
2002: The second major failure of the heart, not much has happened since the first
time and again I have to play me in a fight against the blind
distance and a second stealing hearts my fiancée return to me her engagement ring.
2003: I lose my scholarship student and my work half finished a race and a
uncertain future at the mercy of my bad decisions.
2006: My first failed marriage with a baby just months old on board and my mother
fighting with uterine cancer in my hometown.
2008: After a truce signed by a reconciliation unresolved
many feuds and a second baby also of months, finally
I lose the fight against another man who stole the heart of my wife
who also had an abortion of a third baby who will never have the
sure it was mine.
2009: A month after my younger sister intern at the clinic for a
surgery for a tumor that caused the removal of her left ovary, my
father loses his fight against throat cancer and some leaving
many flavors and with my mother in poverty. That was the price he
had to pay after smoking more than three quarters of its existence,
least had the opportunity to leave some burdens of conscience cleared.

Now starting this 2010 where my hopes of fifteen years to develop a vision that is tattooed on my heart, (to work for children encouraged to develop Animation and video products for education and entertainment) start to show a glimpse of what can split the story of my life in two, without a stable job with a lot of debt over and sleeping in a borrowed bed:
I will continue playing for the success! If I learned anything these years is that when you connect all these points I can see more clearly how God's hand has always been on my side, and will not stop, even the times I've been so close to death ... The struggle is every day against all the giants who want to end my one truth: I was born with a purpose and although life has taken away everything, that God will lift me from the dust to show the light of the universe and the road where I stopped every seed sown in many people may begin to bear the expected fruit.
Thanks God loved and almighty, to you Jesus that you've revealed to me in my deepest darkness, took me out of the abyss to bring your light to people for whom suffering and failure is their daily bread.

COMO DIOS SALVO MIS DOS HIJOS DEL FUEGO

2010-02-12T22:44:00.000-08:00

Say It SImple: Juanes ">

Febrero 12 de 2010

Que si soy un fracasado en la vida? La verdad he perdido mucho, pero no lo creo, casi estoy por terminar la lectura de un libro del Dr. John Maxwell titulado “El Lado Positivo del Fracaso” y la verdad ahora todo el universo se alinea mostrándome una nueva perspectiva en mi corazón.

Hoy fue un día de esos que nunca se borrarán de mi mente, pues al llegar a casa de mis dos hijos, (no vivo con ellos hace dos años por cierto), me recibieron muy felices y con besos, no les gusta que tenga barba pues lo notan de inmediato, pero eso pasa a un segundo plano cuando escarban en mis bolsas o en mi maleta si he traído una sorpresa para ellos, mientras la madre y su abuela me miran con cara de terror casi con lagrimas en sus ojos por lo que sucedió el día anterior, para ellos sólo una experiencia que pasa inadvertida en un parque con arenero, mientras la casa del vecino ardía y los bomberos, los policías y las ambulancias trataban de apagar el fuego y salvarle la vida a este hombre suicida de 63 años.

Después de beber dos botellas y media alcohol y un tarro completo de pastillas, cortarse la manos y el cuello; prendió fuego a todas la pertenencias de su esposa por un problema amoroso que tenían sin resolver. El saldo: cinco casas comprometidas por las llamas, una gran conmoción en el vecindario, un impacto emocional tremendo para la esposa del hombre que en cuidados intensivos lucha contra la muerte. Ella no sabe si desear que muera el hombre pues teme por su vida.

Mientras mis dos bebes estaban en la ducha con su abuela quien los cuida desde antes de ver la luz, Juan David el niño mayor advirtió a su abuela, Arita huele a incendio! Fueron sus palabras, y enjabonados con champú todavía en sus cabezas salieron desnudos en cada brazo de su abuela, quien en medio de el desespero y con Dios en control de todo, subió tres pisos en un santiamén por ropa para vestirlos, llevarlos donde un vecino, regresar para asegurarse de salvar todas las pertenencias de los niños y de su mamá, llamar a sus tres hijas llorando por lo sucedido y muchas otras cosas que pudo hacer como en un segundo y medio.

Todo paso tan rápido, pero nadie se explica como 5 casas alrededor fueron afectadas mientras que la casa de mis hijos solo tuvo unos pequeños daños y solamente sus prendas de vestir y sus juguetes quedaron oliendo a humo, plástico y concreto quemado.

Mirando en retrospectiva el saldo de mi vida en once años anteriores los fracasos y las pérdidas han dejado marcas imborrables:

1999: Terremoto que casi destruye mi ciudad por completo.

debo dejar mi familia y mis amigos por venir a estudiar a la capital

2000: El primer amor de mi vida ahora queda como un vago recuerdo, un

hombre sombra de su pasado puede más al poder estar con ella todos los

días mientras yo preparaba un lugar a ocho horas de distancia para

poderla hacer la mujer de mi vida.

2002: Segundo gran fracaso del corazón, no ha pasado mucho desde la primera

vez y de nuevo me la tengo que jugar en una pelea a ciegas contra la

distancia y un segundo roba corazones que hace que mi prometida me

devuelva su anillo de compromiso.

2003: Pierdo mi beca estudiantil y mi trabajo, una carrera a medio terminar y un

futuro incierto a la merced de mis malas decisiones.

2006: Mi primer fracaso Matrimonial con un bebe de meses y mi madre

luchando con un cáncer uterino en mi ciudad natal.

2008: Después de una reconciliación firmada por una tregua sin resolver

muchas rencillas y un segundo bebe también de meses, finalmente

pierdo la pelea contra otro hombre que se robó el corazón de mi esposa

quién ademas tuvo un aborto de un tercer bebe que nunca tendré la

certeza de que fuera mío.

2009: Un mes después de internar a mi hermana menor en la clínica para una

cirugía de un tumor que causo la extirpación de su ovario izquierdo mi

padre pierde la lucha contra un cáncer de garganta y parte dejando atrás

muchos sin sabores y a mi madre en la pobreza. Ese fue el precio que

tuvo que pagar después de fumar más de tres cuartos de su existencia, al

menos tuvo oportunidad de dejar algunas cargas de conciencia saldadas.

Ahora comenzando este 2010 donde mis esperanzas de quince años de desarrollar una visión que está tatuada en mi corazón, (poder trabajar para los niños desarrollando productos animados para educación y entretenimiento) empiezan a mostrarme un vislumbre de lo que puede partir la historia de mi vida en dos, sin un trabajo estable, con muchas deudas encima, y durmiendo en una cama prestada:

Me la seguiré jugando por el éxito! Si algo he aprendido estos años, es que al conectar todos estos puntos puedo ver más claramente cómo la mano de Dios siempre ha estado de mi lado, y seguirá sin detenerse, aún las veces que he estado tan cerca de la muerte… La lucha es cada día contra todos los gigantes que quieren suprimir mi única verdad: Nací con un propósito y aunque la vida me lo quite todo, se que Dios me levantará del polvo para mostrarme la luz del universo y el camino donde cada semilla que dejé sembrada en muchas personas, tal vez empiecen a dar el fruto que se espera.

Gracias Dios amado y todopoderoso, a ti Jesús que te has revelado a mi en mis oscuridades más profundas, me sacaste del abismo para llevar tu luz a personas para las que el sufrimiento y el fracaso son su pan de cada día.
