The Secret Is Sacrifice

Published by admin under At The Moment

We grow up doing this constantly: analyze and simplify. We do this because we want to understand the world around us. We want to figure out the theories of life because it makes everything much easier. It allows us to predict what is going to happen, control the results by controlling our cause, and ultimately being more certain of life since what we fear most are uncertainties.

However, being philosophical is great but it can only take us so far. Soon, a starving artist will die from starvation, and beautiful women will become old and ugly. Soon, most of us will realize that what really matters is this, “The Have & Have Not.” You simply have the resources or not.

If we look at the bell curve, the ones that have and the ones that do not have is quite apparent. Most people fall in the large center of being average. And while being optimistic is important, the difference between the have and have not really depends on the “sacrifice and not sacrifice.”

I believe most people get what they deserve. Of course unpredictable situations come up every now and then. We shouldn’t always ask “why do bad things happen to good people?” Its life, suck it up. For most people, they deserve what they get because according to the bell curve, a large number of people aren’t sacrificing enough. When I say sacrifice, I mean getting outside of our comfort zone, taking calculated risk, doing the tedious task of planning, analyzing and taking opportunities, and taking advantage of what is available. Most people don’t because they hate pain and their lazy.

So what can we say to our philosophical friends who have the power to perceive failure beautifully and the ability to come up with excuses for every situation possible? “Tough times ahead”

Positive Energy Is Necessary For Success

Published by admin under At The Moment

Ba ba ba BOOYA from SOUTHERN California! If your not optimistic, get optimistic because IT MATTERS! Being positive enable you to believe that Anything Is POSSIBLE! It is that radiant energy that makes your clients nod their head up and down to your products or services. It makes people believe you, trust you, follow you, and love you.

Positive Energy has to be one of the most important factor of everything in life. Think of motivational speakers. What is it that makes them so charismatic that causes you to open your eyes wide, arms open, and jaws drop? Go ahead, move your head closer to the screen and read what I am about to type: POSITIVE ENERGY! Positive energy consist of confidence, passion, strength, and a BIG O SMILE from EAR TO EAR!

And remember the phrase? “The first impression is everything” THIS IS TOO TRUE! If you approach someone with negative energy, shoulders down, boring face expression, and a cheap hello, everything else you say or do next is going to be as good as your approach. But if you approach people with a big smile, a strong hand shake, and flaming passion in your eyes, then everything you say or do after will be as powerful and with UMPH as your approach!

Positive Energy isn’t just important in business, it is especially important in your love life! So if you want to make that BIG BANG impression on that special person you’ve been eyeing, approach them with POSITIVE ENERGY, and show them what your truly passionate about. You don’t have to look like a super model, be filthy rich, or be the smartest person of the crowd. Having Positive Energy is so powerful and sexy, you will have the room gravitating towards you in NO TIME!

So on your next client meeting, business meeting, family gathering, date, Don’t just be there, BE THERE WITH POSITIVE ENERGY!

It is Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 10:10PM USA, and I am sitting at my desk in front of stacks and stacks of finished and soon to be finished projects.
.

Next to me is my book shelf that summarizes who I am by reading every book title (from left to right):HTML, Quark, CSS, Java, Fireworks, Adobe, negotiate this, secrets of power persuasion for sales people, Jim Cramer’s Real Money, Day Trade Online, The Warren Buffet Way, The God Delusion, Christian Bible, Buddhist Wisdom, The Greatest Salesman In The World, etc…
.

The first set of books shows that I am a graphic designer (hence, this website theme).
Then a set of books shows that I am into business (I have over 20 different business books that says the same thing: “DO WHAT POOR PEOPLE WON’T DO IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL
.

Then a set of books about Atheism, Jesus, and Buddha. I am a open minded person who is interested in all philosophies of life. (I’ll leave it at that)
My latest book is “The Greatest Salesman In The World” which is a book about turning bad habits into good habits and more.
.

It is Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 10:24PM USA, and I will stop writing and go back to my stacks and stacks of finished and soon to be finished projects. Good night everyone.
