Are you comfortable discussing your own mortality? Are you interested in exploring the journey of one man facing his own death from cancer? If you answered yes to these questions, you're destined to read, Enjoy Every Sandwich: Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last.

In July 2009, well-known, California-based physician, Lee Lipsenthal, found himself on the other side of the table; diagnosed with cancer of the lower esophagus. He knew it was an aggressive disease with a dismal prognosis.

Enjoy Every Sandwich is Lipsenthal's chronicle of his cancer passage. The title was inspired by singer/songwriter Warren Zevon who died in 2003 of lung cancer. Appearing on late night television, Zevon revealed how he'd learn to enjoy every sandwich he ate. Ironically, Lipsenthal's cancer was detected after experiencing pain while eating a sandwich.

Once diagnosed, his wife and colleagues encouraged him to fight the disease. Lipsenthal declared that he planned to approach his cancer on his terms: "I had no desire or will to fight cancer. I just wanted to be with cancer."

Books titles like Anticancer and A Cancer Battle Plan and today's healthcare system, perpetuate the belief that cancer is something to attack. Lipsenthal disagrees: "Can you imagine a health care system in which the main goal is to enhance peace, vitality, and the joy of living, a system that views dying as a natural process instead of something to be feared and avoided?"

Neuroimaginal is a word Lipsenthal and two of his colleagues coined. It describes the world we create in our minds and the one we convince ourselves is true. Being aware of this concept helped him experience his cancer journey.

Lipsenthal chose to make meditation a key component of his cancer treatment. He began the practice during his medical residency. He also incorporated Native American healing rituals, including the Shamanic Breathwork Process. If you have no experience with these alternative medical practices, don't let it preclude you from reading Lipsenthal's, narrative.

We've all heard the sentiments that, near death, we won't be wishing we'd done one more work project. Lipsenthal echoes those beliefs. He realized that his hard-earned work life was probably over as he knew it, at least during his chemotherapy and perhaps, forever: "The moment I was able to accept that my life's work might die, I had an unexpected and surprising sense of freedom."

Lipsenthal advocates the importance of practicing gratitude daily: "When we practice gratitude each day, life becomes sweet regardless of our life circumstances." He suggests keeping a pad or journal at your bedside. Each night write down three things that you are grateful for that happened that day. You'll begin to look for things that are right in the world instead of wrong. After about three weeks you'll have remodeled your brain to be grateful, even optimistic.

Lee Lipsenthal died on September 20, 2011. Read Enjoy Every Sandwich, and at book's end, his obituary is heartfelt. Lipsenthal's cancer journey reminds us that life's inconveniences like traffic jams and cancelled or delayed flights are inconsequential.

Created To NEED A Help Meet by Michael Pearl

Michael Pearl certainly has an uncanny way to reach out to the hearts of people-in this case, particularly to men who are having problems with their marriage or relationships. There are two important elements that I've come to notice as soon as I started reading this book. It is direct to the point and honest. I think that these factors made Michael and his wife Debi, successful in turning their marriage life into a literary art that can effectively help individuals who are seeking to have a harmonious and peaceful relationship with their spouse.

This self-help book starts with an introduction about the author's personal experiences and dilemmas that center around the opposite sex. All of his shared stories are personal and quite truthful. It is something that you have also experienced at some point in your life which makes this book all the more special because you know for a fact that Michael knows and can relate to what you are going through. He starts by talking about how he felt when he first felt attraction to a girl (he was nine years old) and continues to share similar stories as he was growing up. He explained how hard it was for him to overcome these physical temptations but his faith made him stronger and he details what happened in the end. He is very explicit about the difficulties he needed to endure and the sheer effort that he needed to exert, giving the readers not a perfect life story, but a realistic one-with all of its ups and downs-that everybody goes through.

You will find that his words are simple, making it very easy to understand. Although the author has bravely used some archaic terms, which is also the focal point of the book (the help "meet"), he made it a point to be coherent and clear by writing a section that elaborately explains the meaning of the word "meet" through several examples (excerpts from the Bible) that are matched with follow-up captions. His style makes it extremely easy for anyone who would want to read the book regardless if that person is a Christian or not.

Overall, Michael Pearl has done a great job. This is a top-notch book that all men (and women too) must read, especially when you want to become a better partner to your wife and a better, more matured person in the long run. It is a book that will make you realize some awkward truths about yourself. These realizations can lead you to self-forgiveness and acceptance that then result in a happy marriage as long as you will let the book help you.

So if you're willing to be open to improvement, get the book, digest it, and put it to practice so you can start experiencing the rewards like I am beginning to. You can find it online at http://shop.nogreaterjoy.org/created-to-need-a-help-meet-book/

The One Minute Manager

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Is The One Minute Manager trying to imply that the tasks of an effective manager can be done or mastered in just a minute? To be precise, the answer is: not exactly. Instead, this book by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson makes you realize that a manager can do significant and lasting things within a minute. In essence, one does not have to really spend hours or days figuring out and finding solutions to problems in handling people effectively.

In fact, The One Minute Manager discusses several suggestions and useful ideas in a simple manner. Managers coming from different settings will find this book truly useful. Focusing on what is deemed important, the book places great emphasis on determining realistic and achievable goals, giving due commendations by catching them while doing the right thing, and prescribing corrections in a positive way. Truly, The One Minute Manager proves that it is never too difficult and time consuming to manage people if you do it right.

The first part of the book discusses on the One Minute Goals. Expressed in not more than two hundred fifty words, both the manager and the employees should be able to describe the desired results. By painting a picture of what their collective expectations really are and how the results should actually look like, it is much easier and manageable to make a step-by-step procedure of achieving such goals. Also, part of the process involves sharing the vision which will lead to sharing of responsibilities.

The second part of The One Minute Manager gives emphasis to One Minute Praising. It is a way of boosting the confidence and morale of your subordinates by confirming that they are doing things right, while they are actually doing it. The praise should be specific enough to gain significance and it should directly point out how it helped the team, the coworkers, and the organization in general. This is very effective in reinforcing a positive performance and gives more reason for the subordinate to continue improving.

The last part of the book talks about One Minute Reprimands. Here, The One Minute Manager points out to the erring subordinate about errors committed in a positive way. It should not be done in a formal setting for it brings a lot of reasons to be anxious. Just like in the process of praising, reprimands should be done right away in order to bear significance. In correcting errors, the manager should thoroughly explain the implications and effects of the mistake to the organization in general. It is important to note that according to the book, once the reprimand is over, it should no longer be mentioned again unless the same error is committed.

The One Minute Manager has captured the attention of many people around the globe because of its simplicity of expression. According to many readers, it can be considered as a light reading material which is easy to understand and grasp. It serves as a quick reference that can be read over and over again.

In additions to the key take aways from The One Minute Manager, Harri Jussila's blog Time Management Solutions contains many other tips on time management and effective self-leadership. Currently you can download 2 time management reports for free!

Outwitting the devil-because Napoleon mountains and his wife had to than before this could published

To get on outwitting the devil in my life extr?mement, and I do not put an end to book out of the Angel's time to sent a letter in these words album.

The make is, Napoleon Hill have the devil cornered, and it can interroger to the devil in honn?te said you two to the devil, because Napoleon is a '' not-Drifter. ''

Let me not in our power to say; Napoleon is a man who had been learn to think for. it is know decisiveness Napoleon with your feet on its own this plan to leave be able to approach the Napoleon in law the evil one to the devil. And those who are using themselves are vis?es to as '' drifters. ''

The devil is not a clothing volailles up character and a language ramp with the sound of the Horn. Or is the evil one a face personified by definition Napoleon. the Devil would have advantages that it represents in the, no such things as well. The devil is make available negative in Atom that custody the make available positive which attracted and Atom together. To the devil who is greater than not ?uvres not you opposition overcome the evil one. And every man have the same ability to choose one on the other. However, the evil one there are a lot of astuces and tools to use and you may be one.

In this book, Napoleon distinguishes between what he called a "drifter '' with a '' not-Drifter. '' But I get testing is especially important. Here is distinction between there '' drifter '' with '' mines drifter as Napoleon On to the devil for a is:

First the vessels of you, '' on drifter a he total of lack of a opinion of life. He will visible by his lack of trust. He will never achieve anything that that strenuously ...He will press and d?faut in control on he ...He will eat too many things and exercise too small ...

The voice of the first sign a non-Drifter, is go for it, '' he still engaged in do something definitive, certain very creux plans is definitive. A larger purpose foreigners have come into life towards the still work and objectives minor a lot, everything cover lead towards Central r?gime. big bruise distinction de la who drifter is this, he has an idea clean, and any penalty to all.

Who can you identify and currently, drifter you, in which it is not-drifter? According to his the devil in the book: the devil is '' 98% of people gathered on the planet. He came and saw them first and fear for propaganda, and have a lot of cohortes here on Earth;

The Napoleon of Adolf Hitler in 1938. Why did not publish until 2011?

The devil work in way mysterious-your at least she had worked in way mysterious. According to his Sharon Lechter, annotates Napoleon the manuscript, the wife of Napoleon the don't want this published. Have a few words to present in this book but the man who has, think for them guys could handle. It looks like wife Napoleon was a little impliqu?s in website the evil one's town.

That this book say?

Printing nun and education leaders like working for a overcome the evil one. The devil Act made it were entwined to help he susciter peace and a "temperatures in head discomfort. I say this year like true this day that the things in 1978.

Napoleon writing that was the evil one said cigarettes are a to find out if a the evil one used for susciter habit among the can later ?tre exploit?s in others '' d?rive '' mass. These include-but not limited-indecision, give let them be Serah, and flip flopping over the decisions when they do.

The devil have tools of money, sex and alcohol, profilage, with more at his disposal to do most people that as they struggle to think its daughter. And he proud of something.

Napoleon was gutsy to write in this book. However, he was to an end by fonctionnement de la Satan, year published ago.

This is the biggest point in the Holy writings? Well, without giving the history of go, point the fall for saying

Wake up and make. '' Is it not in your went straight from overcome the evil one. He reconna?t that who has faith for and serve others, you will never be without blog also their pleasure, and EVIL. There is no denying not too, and the Devil be able to against who think for them.

The devil says, '' Fortunately for me, also some suspect one or both to ever. ''

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus - Book Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Recently I re-discovered this book while browsing through a local op-shop, with enthusiasm I took it to the counter to take home & re-read the beautiful life lessons offered by John Gray. My favourite two chapters without a doubt 'Women are Like Waves' & 'Men Go to Their Caves & Women Talk!'

Women Are Emotional Waves, don't we know it!

John Gray aptly describes women as waves, he says, "When she feels loved her self esteem rises and falls in a wave motion. When she is feeling good, she will reach a peak, but then suddenly her mood may change and her wave crashes down, this crash is temporary. After she reaches the bottom suddenly her mood will shift and she will feel good about herself."

My 'ah ha!' moment arrived while reading this chapter when John states that a women at the bottom of her wave likes to discuss & share her problems, then will begin to rise up to the top of the wave & feel good again. He writes that men misunderstand this positive shift to mean that whatever was bothering her is now completely healed or resolved. As men generally discuss problems to find a resolutions.

Then when I went on to read 'Men Go To Their Caves & Women Talk' a clearer picture began to emerge for me in the huge difference in communicating & problem solving between men & women.

Men Go To Their Caves & Women Talk

"You seem to have gone into a cave, want to about it?"

Doesn't everyone want to talk all the time? Especially when they have a problem? Reality is a funny thing. I didn't realise how much I actually talk until I read this chapter, I thought everyone was the same as me...wow shock!? I realise that I have a large word count requirement. When I had a wisdom tooth removed a sympathetic friend came to visit our normal chit chatter was reduced to a few words here and there, I had so much to say but could not talk!

So it was to my horror when I first read this book to find out that some people especially men like to withdraw to cope with stress & focus on the problem until it is resolved often at the expense or ahead of other responsibilities.

I totally love this book it profoundly challenges my thinking. The tips & lessons to be learned are so helpful when in the workplace, at home, with friends or in situations of conflict.

Think And Grow Rich Book Review

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Think and Grow Rich is a motivational book written by Napoleon Hill, it was first published in 1937 during the time of great depression. This book has been on the bestseller list from last 74 years. Andrew Carnegie started working as a factory worker, later he emerged as the great industrialist and became one of the richest men in the America.

Andrew Carnegie donated almost all his money to establish libraries, schools and universities. Andrew Carnegie wanted to give a success philosophy to this world so that by following this success philosophy anyone can become rich. He appointed Napoleon Hill for this job, to write a book on success philosophy. Napoleon hill interviewed more than 500 most successful men and women and then figured out what these people do different that make them successful.

"The revolutionary discovery of these 500 interviews is that you have complete control over just one thing in your life and that is your mind."

Human Being have been given this great gift, you have been given mind and you have ability to control your mind. If you can control your mind, you can achieve anything you desire. As Napoleon Hill said "Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, your mind can achieve."

Here Is A Summary Of Some Of The Successes Principles Taught In Think And Grow Rich Book.

01. Desire - The Turning Point Of All Achievement

The first thing required to become successful is desire. Desire is different from merely wishing. A Desire should be well defined, you should write it down on the paper with the exact amount of money and exact date when you want to possess this money.

The six steps taken from this book that will turn your desire into reality:

Write down exact amount of money you desire. For example if it is one million dollar, write down 1 million dollar.Write down exactly what you are ready to give in return to achieve your desired outcome.Write down the exact date when you intend to be in the possession of your desiredCreate a definite plan to achieve your goal and start taking actions.Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.You must read your statement twice daily once in the morning and once before sleeping. Believe and act as you have already achieved your Goal.

02. Faith

The second step to become successful is the Faith. Faith is like a bridge that attaches your soul with the supreme power that has created you and entire world. When you have faith in your ability and in supreme power, all the fears and doubts will go away from your mind.

If you want to take control of your mind, you need Faith. The only difference between successful people and failure is the ability to control their mind with tons of faith. They remain on the road of success despite many short-term failure.

If you want to create Faith you must accept this truth that God has created you and he has given you a beautiful gift that is your mind. You must recognize that by controlling your mind you can achieve anything you want.

03. Auto Suggestion

Auto-suggestion is the self-talk. Auto-suggestion means how you talk with yourself, which kind of words you use while thinking about different situations in your mind. "You have to close your mind from negative and destructive thoughts"

You must repeat the sentences in your mind like "I am better than I think I am", "I am on the road to achieve my goals". Think what other people will talk about yourself when you will achieve your goal.

Why Auto-suggestion is Important?

Because it is the medium to influence your subconscious mind and once you are able to plant a desire goal in your subconscious mind, your mind will find ways how to achieve that goal itself.

04. Specialized Knowledge, Personal Experience Or Observation

Have you ever wondered why so many well educated people are not rich? According to the author,most of the well educated have accumulated only General knowledge. They need Specialized knowledge that is organized intelligently to achieve one's goals.

"Knowledge becomes power only and when it is organized to reach a well defined goal." You can become successful if you take some time off to find out the areas in which you need to gain more knowledge. Write down all your ideas and create a plan.

Final Thoughts On This Book

I hope after reading this summary, I have given you an idea of how much about success principles you can learn by reading this great book "Think and Grow Rich". May be I am not able to summarize this book well but I highly recommend you to buy this book and read it many times. If you want to buy just one book in your life time, then buy this book. It will transform your life.

Séminaire Junkie you success?

Do I'm sick to raise seminars to turn a success?

Success who includes seminars

I am not exactement is these things while I am obsession and improve my life began, but was in the days of me to my first s?minaire.

I must accept the mood numbers were so great. For surrounded by man is like a measure, what would obviously get answers for his life, as I. Wanted to become a success like the people on the scene.

He was a very great arena, you can came to our ears he in Center O2.

Three days discours motivational and number one, a new approach to life.

This year I was to four seminars already.

Now hurt me in. This was a struggle. I had to take time on working with separate childcare. Had quite trip. Four hours every day occurred on trip.

I take note after note and ?cout? to every pr?sident. I want so is nothing, nothing at all, ?tre a success like those on the scene.

Now let be one things clearly. Motivational speakers and Internet barbecue do these seminars so they can give information at the end of to talk about products from sin. So there is a tons of sales forces have been.

Now personally, I saw that all seminars an effort to part and have of them important.

I take clear notes and try over the counter remedies in all the information I can. I try extr?mement difficult to talk with people (this is not I point Fort) but this could be come a sweet considerable opportunities amiti?.

One thing I found is those who took part in these events is an attempt to something in life, as you. How many friends you have this understand transition in your life? I found personally none of the friends I have knowledge of it. Came the Government going to do when I leaned down over invitation for parties, and others. Trying to to explain exercises scheduled for this year the I am the focus on bettering/my life did not see region to go down too well. They had sp?cifi?e trying to may explain that I'm sick to make a change in my life now, I had sp?cifi?e are more time.

Usual reaction. I found is try to to persuade me to re-schedule you '' me what I sick, a Sabbath has been numbered by God and he took some time off. I will not come back year a success if I have given ear to my friend.

Success you don't your friends

Or which of you, making choices that change your life for better, understand has to put out in him always, and you are animated by change on how much you earn. You get up early and to go to bed would to make a change the possible. Everything we want to is force living to are broken. You have a r?le with only you understand me.

Remember/'' had question people other think of you. He question ago the faith which you have but. Especially if are already not had you to live your life. If they had not already understand was sp?cifi?e not difficile.

When I was first to speak a s?minaire, I had on the way home on the coach, and one of collegues work I was on training. You have said '' Hi '' and I had sp?cifi?e asked what he had been doing in London. At this juncture, it is often advisable that he looked for a little embarrassed and said she wanted become a '' events in London. I explained that I have come back Entrepeneurs not attend '' boot camp '' and it turned out was me where it had gone too. He was shame failing to would I thought he had a little crazy. '' It looks like we have the a little crazy, and even picked up the event attended. The next few days we traveled with sat down together to s?minaire. When you saw other in your work year giggle because you were a '' secret. We were, are, s for something better.

You need to have a little crazy, ?tre normal and au won't make you anywhere in life.

Seminars this could be a end shock a especially if you are a man not Britannique not characteristic and the Mace is de la, United States. We have tendency can build a little reserved and by 20 '' haute five of prosecution they said: you Awesome is to your neighbour, you find yourself missing the irascible method to change. Had not the power of cultural difference allow an end you two ligne two Mace. Join and participate you will surpris what you will learn on your head and reservation you could a attirer your back.

I was Queen of '' High fives '' stopped when I had will be home you. Yes when you to go into the door, and a young girl home, you is a heaven, you are back bas to Terre by families and friends. The best things you can do is give effect to. Her name is you note and put into practice something you appris as soon as possible. Don '' t take care that you are anyone else think. Is your life. They should be like when they saw changes in you, but, as I have said before, only afraid because you change who, to do to stop you, and want to leave.

So, '' seminars for success you?

Well in my personal distinguish Yes ''. If you out of the land of s?minaire feel we part and fit in some other of which you have sp?cifi?e this decided to impact on your life. Only getting to know you not only those who were looking for a better life, but sorrow '' crazy '' people as we are?

If you an account of the issue and the Mace, you have sp?cifi?e will learn to understand that the Mace is just a normal people in life, like you, then, they have become a success, some things you not desire. Is to be incentive to flight problems you're sick as well as push Before.

Success you S?minaire?

A word of warning. If you are attending an band seminars for automatic and not going and we can't you appris, sp?cifi?e you are wasting opportunity. You'll go a not s?minaire junkie. You are attending to himself to you but you can recr?er mood of these at home. Just gone you sick to push forward and apply you learn. You will run the risk of being s not your family and friends, all they will see is you d?penses money and come again, in the same. Don '' t you want to have one in the history success and inspired you friends and families, by their fathers ' families did the same?

Traveling Light: Lessons From Our Motorcycle

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Stopping for the night during a motorcycle journey is a stark reminder of how much baggage I'm carrying. It doesn't look or feel like a lot when I'm riding, but when it's all unloaded and on the hotel's trolley, it can be astounding, even to a veteran traveler. I like to be prepared for almost any eventuality, which means I carry more than I ever use.

Go on a car trip and it's crammed full with everything you may or may not need, sometimes even the kitchen sink. Take that same trip on a motorcycle and choices have to be made about what comes along and what needs to be left behind. Riding teaches us much about the value of traveling light, lessons we can apply to our personal journey.

Here are ten lessons our motorcycles teach us about traveling light.

Resourcefulness. Because you can only carry so much, you need to improvise and be resourceful. Riding teaches us we can get by with much less than we think. We tend to accumulate so many gadgets, accessories, apparel, things that don't add real value to our journey. In our personal journey, as with riding, if we look at what we need rather than want, it's amazing what we can jettison.
Load Capacity. You can load up your bags, strap additional items on and pack on an amazing amount of weight. Yet your bike can handle only so much weight safely. So too, can our beings handle only so much at once. We tend to overwork, take on additional responsibilities and not exercise enough. The effects of stress on our body, mind and spirit are insidious and often we don't "unload" until a health scare or relationship issue causes a reality check.
Weight management. You can't feel it when you're moving but you notice the weight during slow speed maneuvers or manually moving it. This increases the potential for tip overs or strains, particularly when the weight isn't properly balanced. Carrying only what you need minimizes this. So too must we manage the physical, emotional and spiritual weight we carry to perform optimally.
Energy efficiency. With a lighter load and optimal speeds, we economize on fuel. We humans have only so much energy too. Wise choices keeps us healthier physically, mentally and emotionally.
Peace of Mind. The bigger the bike, the more accessories and gizmos we carry, the more we worry about damaging it or having it stolen. Maintaining the bike is work enough. Having to care for additional accessories, insuring and protecting them all takes away from the enjoyment of riding. If we're worried about them.
Maintenance. Making sure our bike is in optimal running condition, replacing worn parts, performing routine inspections on cables, tires, lights, chains, means it's less likely to let us down on the road. Taking good care of our bodies, nurturing mind, body spirit gives us greater endurance and allows our creativity to express itself. We don't need to pack so much if we're confident it's going to perform for us.
Clarity. Keeping things simple clears the mind of clutter and allows for synchronicity and serendipity. This is when epiphanies occur and your creativity is sparked,
Emotional control. Riding while upset is dangerous. Moods distort our perception, distract us and keep us preoccupied. We miss out on what's going on around us, are slower to react and have less energy.
Balance. You soon feel it if your load or even a tire is out of balance. It takes more energy to manage the bike and increases the potential for loss of control. Two wheeled travel, especially when you come to a stop, teaches you a lot about the importance of balance. Applying that tenet to our personal life can be challenging and the repercussions even greater.
Freedom. Ask any rider what it is about motorcycling that is so exhilarating and the top two responses are likely to be the "freedom" and the "independence." The less encumbered we are, the more meaningful our experience.

Something magical happens when you go for a ride. Cares and worries are left behind and you are caught up in the present moment. The world goes on around you, while time stands still as you the road stretches endlessly in front of you. Travel light and intensify the magic.

The Importance of Character in Sales

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

I hope everyone has noticed that the old schooling is not working in light of all the changes we have witnessed in the past 15-20 years. We were taught or programmed for that matter at school, that having information solves all the problems. Well, maybe it was good for me in 1960's but already in 1980's it was already obsolete and even more so today.

I recall a day when I was called into a parent teacher conference to find out that my daughter, of whom I thought a lot had to be moved out of the accelerated math class because she did not comprehend. Being ESL person myself, I did not comprehend what was it that she was not comprehending. But, being a teacher, I also knew, that teaching is not making sure someone memorizes the text, but rather that he or she understands the principles of learning. So I requested that the teacher concentrates on teaching her how to learn and not what to memorize. It worked.

The time has passed and I still stick to my principle. I heard something very interesting lately, let me share it. "We have a kindergarten degree when it comes to the application of information, although we may have PhD in information itself. In order to succeed in life, we need a reversed scenario with PhD in application of knowledge; the information is available everywhere.

The same principle applies to every aspect of life. Today I would like to talk about sale process as it is, or rather as it should be.

The Art of Influence by Chris Widener

I hate sales (not as discounts of course, that - I love). I am talking about sale processes where persuasion (the old way) is still dominating instead of leaving the stage for influence through care and understanding.

In the age of technology and the information available at any time from any source, people need people, not vending machines.

In the book The Art of Influence, Chris Widener gives a lot of what I wish to call savoir vivre of today's sales person, although I believe everyone can benefit from reading this book. It is very easy to read, flows beautifully like a novel and most of all touches what we need to build and exercise on daily basis - character, personal growth and respect for others as well as self.

There are four life principles which Chris is talking about in his book:

1. Live a life on undivided integrity. Integrity is all you have.

2. Always represent a positive attitude. People like to follow positive people, people respond to optimism.

3. Consider other people's interest more important than your own.

4. Don't settle for anything less than excellence. The way you live your life either attracts or repeals people. Do your best, make a difference. We have the whole world waiting for you.

Since this is only a short mention, I strongly recommend that you get this book and make a use of it. After completing reading, I knew exactly where my faults were and where I needed to start. Average person has so much chaos in their life, in their brain. We tolerate it, we learn to tolerate it although down deep inside we know we would be so much better off.

Today Is "Someday," What Will You Do With It?

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

We've all said it at one time or another. "Someday I'll..." or "One of these days, I'll..."

Someday I'll... start writing my book; ask her to marry me; go on a diet; begin my new business; go back to school; find a new job; start saving for our future.

What is your "Someday "I'll"

Well, my friend, let me be the first to inform you that today is that someday you've been waiting for.

There was a popular quotation that appeared in the 1960's that reminded us that, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." It could be seen on tee shirts, poster and signs everywhere. I'm not sure who actually started it. It's been attributed to Bob Dylan.

There will never be a better time to begin whatever it is you've been wanting to begin.

The reason is simple. Now is the only time there is and the only time there will ever be. As title of my second book reminds us, "This is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal." What are you waiting for?

We all have a tendency to use the "Someday I'll" excuse as a way to seduce ourselves into thinking we're actually doing something when, in fact, all we're doing is procrastinating.

We delude ourselves into believing that we will, one day soon, do whatever it is we really want to do but haven't yet begun, probably because of our fear of not succeeding.

So how do you change this?

Something I learned over twenty years ago is that we do things for basically one of two reasons. We either want to gain pleasure or avoid pain. That's it folks. Everything we do breaks down to one or, more likely a combination of both these emotional states.

The simple way to motivate yourself to do what it is you've been wanting to do is quite simple. Take control of the "carrot and the stick" of the perceived pain and pleasure connected to your action.

Let's say, for example, that you want to write and publish a book. This happens to be something near and dear to me, having done it and experienced the immense pleasure of becoming a successful author and touching the lives of people all over the world. I can't even describe how it feels to have had a positive effect on so many people. Beyond the financial success or the notoriety it is this feeling that drives me to continue to write.

Of course, when I was starting out, I didn't have this to inspire me. I had to create it in my imagination. I had to imagine how great it would feel to be living the life I now enjoy. I had to imagine people all over the world benefiting from reading my books.

This was the "carrot," the pleasure motivator.

On the other side of the equation, and because I feel they're both useful at different times, was the "stick" or pain motivator. For me, this was imagining what I would be missing out on if I didn't do it.

Paying attention to my health and fitness was even easier to get leverage on. One morning I sat quietly, eyes closed, and projected out twenty years. I then imagined what my life would be like if I continued my unhealthy food choices and continued to ignore physical exercise.

Believe me when I tell you that what I saw scared me. I realized that if I didn't change my habits, I was looking at a depressing future.

I then projected how I would feel, not only twenty years out, but in the immediate future as well... if I took action immediately.

I remember that day like it was yesterday, even though it was, now, more than twenty years ago. After taking a few minutes to write in my journal the result of my "carrot and stick" exercise so I could continue to refer to it to stay motivated, I got up, put on a pair of sneakers and started an exercise program and I've stayed with it pretty much since.

Sure I may slack off, hey I'm human too, but I am always aware of my health and exercise choices and have remained committed to my health sine that day.

Whatever it is you want to do "someday," begin it today.

Take a few minutes and write out your desire(s). Sit quietly and imagine you took action and it's now ten or twenty years into the future. What are all the benefits you've enjoyed because you acted today? What have you been able to do because of this action? What has it meant to your family and community?

Write it in your journal.

Next, do the reverse. What has it cost you because you didn't take action? What is it already costing you now? Chances are, not doing something has some unpleasant consequence in the present as well.

Write that in your journal.

I think you can guess the next step.

Begin!

For, as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said,

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!'

Think and Grow Rich: A Review of a Timeless Classic Book on Success

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Back in 1937, Napoleon Hill came out with a book called Think and Grow Rich. Since then, it has sold approximately 70 million copies worldwide in a number of languages. It was revised in 1960 and then later by others with more modern meanings. Still, the original, intact one has some deeper meanings that can be applied into today's world. This makes even more sense because when Hill wrote it, the United States was in the middle of The Great Depression.

"The 'depression' was a blessing in disguise. It reduced the whole world to a new starting point that gives everyone a new opportunity." -Napoleon Hill

Prior to Think & Grow Rich (TGR), Hill had a set of books that came out in 1928 called The Law of Success. This was in 8 volumes and comprised 16 lessons. What he did was to distill that down to what became Think and Grow Rich. It gives the best of his teachings in a simple, yet effective manner that anyone can understand.

After being issued a challenge by Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill set out to interview 500 of the most successful men of his time period over a 20 year time span. He was able to accumulate this wisdom on success and achievement to be able to put it first in The Law of Success and later in TGR. Imagine having the wisdom of Andrew Carnegie and Thomas Edison at your fingertips to apply into your own life.

I was surprised by the sheer number of people who have credited this classic to their success in life. For example, according to sports writer Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times, the fighter Ken Norton, Sr. read TGR prior to defeating Muhammed Ali in 1973. A great many motivational speakers credit their careers because of the influence of Napoleon Hill and his work.

I still remember when I picked up my first copy in paperback decades ago. It was a revised copy which I earmarked, underlined, wrote on the edges and highlighted. Since then, I was able to acquire a first edition, first printing of Think & Grow Rich as part of my book collection. I still see what words of wisdom that I can apply into my own life every day.

What most people forget when taking in any information and not just this book, is that they have to find ideas within it and apply to their own life. That means to take action. You can't just read and expect miracles to happen. That's plain, dumb thinking. I've seen too many people get caught up the The Law of Attraction stuff that the movie, The Secret, espoused. They falsely believed if all they did was to wish it, that it will come true. Nothing happens without action. Consistent and progressive movement towards a goal is a key to success. Napoleon Hill calls this being persistent.

"There is no substitute for persistence! It cannot be supplanted by any other quality!" -Napoleon Hill

Will this book make you successful? That's up to you. It may not. You may not become a millionaire. Your definition of success will be different than mine or someone else's. Whatever you do in life is simply up to you. Think and Grow Rich is simply a tool box of ideas that will only work when you use them in your life. Not just let them sit around gathering dust. You need to take persistent action to make it happen.

Brain Rules: How to Increase Brain Power

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Brain Rules is the New York Times Bestseller book written by John Medina. This book will help you to understand how your brain works. Most of us have no idea what is really going inside our brains. How do we learn? Does exercise boost our brain powers? Why we feel tired and want to take a nap at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon? Why multi-tasking does not work? How can we increase our memory?

Some of the interesting things that I learned from this book are following:-

Health Exercise

According to a research, exercise increases brain power. People who have weak mental abilities started doing health exercise. Just after 4 weeks, their brain power have improved. So now the question is what type of exercise must you do, and how much of it must be done to increase your brain power?

After years of study, they found out that aerobic exercise, 30 minutes per day, two or three times per week is beneficial immediately and over the long term. In one study done on 10,000 British civil servants between the ages of 35 and 55, people who do less physical activities have poor cognitive skills. Their problem solving skills were particularly weak.

Why Health Exercise is useful to the brain?

Your brain needs oxygen and food to function properly. It may surprise you to know that your brain represents only about the 2% of your body weight but it accounts for about 20% of the body's total energy usage. In other words, your brain uses a large part (20%) of whatever you eat to function properly and generates a lot of toxic waste. Health exercise helps your brain to remove this toxic waste. The more toxic waste you can remove, the better your brain will function.

The benefits of exercise seem nearly endless. Exercise makes your bones and muscles stronger. It improves your strength. It helps regulate your appetite and reduces the risk for more than a dozen types of deadly diseases. In a study done on students, they found out that when children exercised twice per week, their brains worked better, they got better marks in their exams because exercise helped increasing the oxygen supply to their brain.

Survival

The author says that DNA evidence has been helpful to confirm that we came from Africa somewhere between 7 million and 10 million years ago. The human brain seems to be designed to solve problem and find new ways to survive in different conditions. Humans have been able to survive for so many years on this planet despite many environmental changes. We had two ways to beat the cruelty of the environment: we could have become stronger or we could have become smarter. We chose the second one. We didn't become stronger; we became smarter.

The author says to beat the cruelty of environment, human learned to walk on two legs rather than walking on four legs like animals. It freed our hands and it was also energy-efficient. it used fewer calories than walking on four legs. Our ancestors uses this energy surplus not to pump their body power but to pump up their brain power. Human learned to live and work with others as a team. We learned to cooperate.

Brain Wiring

Every human brain is wired differently. Nobel prize winner scientist Eric Kandel figured out that when people learn something new, the wiring in their brains change. Their brains make new connections. The study found out that the brain of violin players were wired differently when compared with non-violin players. Here is a good news - the brain acts like a muscle: the more activity you do; the larger and more active it can become.

The study found out that you can learn anything you want. You just need to spend enough hours to practicing that thing. What you do in your daily life determines how your brain looks like. You can wire and rewire your brain by making some simple choices daily. You can learn any musical instrument or sport. It may surprise you to know that your brain stores different information in different areas of your brain, for example bilingual people don't even store their Spanish and their English in similar places.

Attention and Memory

Do you want to improve your memory? Then you should read this chapter carefully. According to the author, the more attention the brain pays to a given stimulus, the more elaborately the information will be stored and retained. In other words, we can remember things more efficiently on which we give most of our attention. We generally pay a lot of attentions on the things like emotions, threats and sex. It is hard to forget when someone threatens you or when someone talks about having sex with you.

Different memories have different life spans, some memories hang around for a few minutes and then vanish. Some memories persist for days or months even for a lifetime. According to a study, people forget 90% of what they learn in a class within 30 day. The majority of this forgetting occurs within the first few hours of the class. The study shows that one could increase the life span of a memory simply by repeating the information. The more you repeat an information, the longer it will persist in your brain.

According to another study, the group of students that processes the meaning of the words always remember two or three time more words than the group that do not know the meaning of that words. It means the more you can focus on the meaning of an information, the longer you would be able to remember that information. So when you are trying to encode some information into your brain's memory system, make sure you understand exactly what the information means. The another way - thinking or talking about the events that has just occurred, can enhance your memory for that event.

The Brain Cannot Multitask

If you want your brain to function efficiently you should not multitask. For example, one person says that while working on Ms-word, he loves to listen music as it helps him to concentrate on his work. He types one sentence and then tap out a Face book message, then he sees who has sent him message. He responds to the message and then return to his work. In this case, he is not working efficiently, he is just wasting a lot of time and energy.

Because when he is working on Ms-word, he is using information from a different area of his brain and when he responds to the message from his girl friend, his brain must disengage from his work and takes information from a different area of his brain. It is time consuming. Studies shows that a person who is interrupted take 50% longer to accomplish a task. Not only time, but he also makes up to 50% more errors. Here is another example, you cannot drive while talking on cell phone. Perhaps you don't realize but it is very dangerous. Cell-phone talkers are half-second slower to hit the brake. It is like driving drunk. Your brain cannot perform these two activities simultaneously.

Sleep well, Think well

Perhaps you know it already that when you are sleeping, your brain is not resting at all, in fact it is more active than while you are awake. In one study, they found out that your brain takes rest for a very short period while you are in a deep sleep. Your body needs sleep after about 16 hours of active consciousness. The research shows that one night's loss of sleep results in about 30% loss in overall cognitive skills, with a subsequent drop in performance.

Sleep is also a great friend to learning. We need to sleep so that we can learn. A healthy sleep of 7-8 hours per day can boost your learning skills significantly. According to author, sleep loss = brain loss. In a study they found out that the animal's brain replays what it learned while it sleeps. The same was true for humans. Humans appear to repeat certain daily learning experiences at night.

Final thoughts on this book

The 12 brain rules described in this book should be taught in every school and college. There are very few books written so well on the subject of how the human brain works. This book is one of them. If you want to learn how your brain works and how you can increase your brain power then you should buy and read this book. This is one of the best books I've read this year and I highly recommend it to you.
