Life Success

Archive for December, 2009

I have a 5 year old who is ahead of her class. She is a grade beyond her classmates in reading, math, and drawing. It is very important to me to coach her to success, starting now. I dont believe in the "formula" of "you have to do good in school to get a good job".

The problem with that formula, is that it is incredibly average. Most people wander through life doing just that, leaving no legacy, never really accomplishing anything great. Full disclosure – I dont want my life to end up on that path either. I have a job right now, answering to the man, etc etc. I have owned my own business, and intend to again at some point in life when the cards play out right. But i dont want my kiddo to be molded into an average person in society like these schools indoctrinate them to be.

Im searching for ways to lay a foundation for her to be more independent thinking, strive for higher goals, and take advantage of gifts she has now so that they translate into greater success later in life. I’m just not sure how. I know the ultra rich go to schools that teach a very different format than general public schools. I can not afford to send her to private school, but I can use my time with her to help her grow.

Self realization, success, drive, and motivation tips are things I am looking for.

Help? Thank you

You might want to check into charter schools– public schools but with a specified purpose. In our town, we have a charter school that is just for girls– helping females achieve success. Another is just for geared toward students that don’t function well in the ‘usual’ school setting. I know there are others, but these are the ones that stand out in my mind right now.

Expose your daughter to museums, art, theater (not the regular movies) concerts, books, libraries. Let her read the newspaper and watch the news. Talk with her about current issues. Read books together (especially ones with strong female leads) and discuss them.

Many private schools do have scholarship programs, so even if you think you cannot afford to send her to one, she may be able to attend at a reduced tuition rate.

By that, I mean does being a freemason open any new doors for you? Or are the benefits just about the same as if you were good friends with a sizable group of people?
I guess what I mean is, do other members look out for each other especially and try to help each other succeed in their careers, etc.? I hope this question makes sense, ha ha.

That place creeps me out theres a Freemason club in the main street here and I always used to look in the gate when I was a little kid and the courtyard looked like something from Harry Potter =S I have no idea what they are or even do though… As far as I know a Freemason is someone who works with stone.

spend as much time with her as you can, just being yourself. one of the best gifts a person can have is good communication skills. leave the academics to the schools for a few more years. and let her be herself when she is with you. let her know she is important just as she is. a gifted mind is so much more useful with well-adjusted and good social skills.

A person has to find the method that is easy to follow. If it is too drawn out, the person may not want to take the time to learn. Different methods work for different people. This is why it is important to have a few methods as tools in case one does not work at a particular time. The more tools we have, the better it can be. I hope you have found techniques that work well for you. Take Care.

what does this quote mean?

the secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes
PLEASE HURRY!

That means life/God just doesn’t hand you over everything, it only gives you opportunities and it’s your job to jump on them. If you do you succeed, if you don’t then you’re stranded and you have to wait till the next boat comes along.

Thanks…

I am actually looking forward to get a list of "Valuable" books that I would buy for my about-to-set-up personal library. Please feel free to recommend any or all of the valuable "Life coaching philosophical books" you may have come across and thought "WOW!"

Thank you buddy!

How to develop self confidence – author Jim willions.

First and foremost, the auto industry must engage and adopt sustainable practices, whether it be the wages and benefits it pays its labor force or maintaining a dealer network that is optimized to meet the size of organic demand. Makers must abandon the mistaken belief that "any sale" is a "good sale". After all, my aunt Tilly outperformed GM by $20B last year without making or selling a single vehicle.

First and foremost (part b) is quality and compelling product. Few examples can be more clear than Ford’s homespun renaissance it undertook in 2006. It’s no longer in the business of promising customers great products to come; the products are in showrooms and driveways today, and Ford’s certainly not resting on their laurels. Ford has overcome the perception it (and the the other U.S. makers) built during the previous 30 years that buying American meant buying inferior.

Second, makers must stop neglecting North America. Most Americans would be flabbergasted to learn that the very same makers of 20 years of tired North American designs have been producing world-class excellence in Europe and elsewhere. (The Ford Focus is one of the most envied vehicles to roam the Nurburgring)

Third, makers have to win public perception. Bankruptcy and bailout aside, the CTS-V is arguable the world’s best performance sedan while being far less expensive than lesser German and Asian competitors, but public perception is that the foreign brands are better. The "exclusivity" gap means Americans strive to own Mercedes, Audis, BMWs, and Lexuses (or is the plural form Lexi?) not Cadillac. Superb vehicles like the Pontiac G8 costing as little as half the price of so-called European "performance" sedans, was failure in North America despite being one of GM’s best and most exciting "driver’s cars" ever. Without the public doing its part, not even making the best vehicles is enough.

Fourth, the bailout has created two companies with no right to exist that no American should support to begin with. Ford, pulled itself up by its own bootstraps and should be entitled to reap the rewards of its failed competitors, but the government rewarded the irresponsible and punished the role model, turning one solid enterprise into three unstable ones (and leaving Ford with the burden of actually paying its own bills). The government perverted the bankruptcies and stood every precedent of established business law on its ear and ran roughshod over the rights of bondholders and other secured creditors in an "end justifies the means" end-around which should give every American business owner and employee cold sweats. When every consumer dollar has become an existential struggle, the American consumer has the same responsibility to support Ford as a matter of principle that it has to avoid supporting GM and Chrysler or encouraging the government to raid another $50B from our grandchildren’s piggy banks.

Fifth are two factors the automakers don’t control, consumer responsibility and the economy. If the economy collapses as it almost did, the point may be moot. The second part is that the American consumer has the attention span of a gnat and the spine of an earthworm and will trade away just about anything for instant gratification, even when they know they shouldn’t. They can’t resist the fire sale rebate and continue to buy GM and Chrysler (albeit thankfully in somewhat lower numbers). They won’t get off their backsides long enough to do themselves the favor of learning that Ford’s products are superior to Toyota, yet Camrys continue to roam the roads every 1/2 second.

For the American automobile industry to have any chance of surviving tomorrow, customers and manufacturers have to live up to their responsibilities together. And at the moment, the auto makers are doing their "fare share" (although with a $50B gift, GM should also be curing cancer and sending us back to the moon). American vehicles have never been better at the same time that the most revered Asian brands have become lackluster and complacent, cutting corners to "stay on top" rather than striving for success.

Finally, everyone, makers and customers alike, have to stop thinking of cars differently than any other consumer product. Restricting sales to local franchises (i.e. monopolies) is 19th century thinking that only serves to increase the cost of buying cars for customers, and the cost of selling them to makers. When a Chinese brand (the only ones with enough capital to launch a full-on attack) decides to come to North America "for good", it won’t be using old and inefficient ways fraught with problems and dealers who can’t distinguish between the profits they earn for themselves and the responsibility they have to earn profits for the manufacturers whose products they sell and whose brands they represent. The 21st century automaker will have regional "demonstration centers" with a small compliment of "ready to buy" vehicles, while the vast majority of purchases will be made possible by the click of a mouse. "Building a vehicle" online no longer means printing a piece of paper to haggle over at a dealer, it will be an order confirmation with an estimated delivery date.

In short, apart from the support every American should be throwing behind Ford, the answer to your question is "everything".

Best of luck. I hope this helps.

The Secret by Rrhonda Byrne is a great write.

I personally found ‘the Alchemist’ and ‘The Zahir’ by Paulo Coelho very inspiring as well.

Might be; this, in that it ‘can’ be; certainly there exists nothing that can be created that can charm the chances of getting lost from occurring.

Where key factors are endeavored to be made at first truly ‘key’, they will not have been built with susceptibilities to getting lost; the steward of the key will have known and secured from loss these primary factors in the first place, else the project cannot have been conceived as suitable to undertake as to expect success.

Performing prognostications rests first with causations, with sheer physicalities, so long as the medium in which the intent and actions are performed is a physical medium; and by physical we mean, one which the qualities of beginning, middle, and ending are endemic, each of which three phases features dual qualities working in tandem with types of matter: any endeavor is a folly, incidentally, that does not assume duality. By matter we mean, solid matter itself, energy, space, and time. All aside from this is the province of star dust, or call it the Ethers, a substrate having and expressing all manner of unpredictable outcomes, and is why apprising oneself of the forms and functions of physicality first is paramount: only apprisal to directive and relating principles are the best preparation and assurance to afford centering of the respective project; only these constitute a sound retreat: if the brick and mortal fail, the frame stands, the architecture remains, which can be replicated.

Success is knowing this, and so not only are progressions and journeys important but as well are the preparations that include the above chief features. There exists no otherwise insurance: not only does the player and the team with which he or she aligns enjoy free will, but the medium in which that venture occurs does as well share an equal advantage; for when that which comes from those places afar and well outside of duality sallies forward, there is no telling what can occur.

We are not the only ones here running experiments and projects: even the very Ethers is itself an on-going project of sorts, if of an unfamiliar kind.

Before I went to college I was fairly religious, and very good. I never drank, smoked, had oral sex, actual sex, never even kissed guys very much! Now in college I do everything. I have fallen off the path of success, and my grades are not as good as I want them to be. How can I turn myself around to the girl I was instead of the dirty person I feel like now?

Stop putting so much guilt on yourself, because God does not condemn you. You are condemning yourself.

Study hard, and realise that "even though your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart and knows all things".

Also, focus on what Jesus says, and not what Christians say. Jesus doesn’t want you to become a Pharisee. A Pharisee is someone who thinks that God loves them only if they are religious, or follow moral laws.

When Jesus came, he didn’t condemn sinners, but was angry at the Pharisees – why? Because they thought that God only likes moral people. Jesus was angry with them, because Pharisees gave people the wrong image about God.

Being religious doesn’t make you good. The Pharisees thought that, and Jesus said they were wrong.

Think about this: Jesus told people their sins were forgiven BEFORE they even asked for it!

Your sins are already forgiven, so stop beating yourself up…remember God IS Love. Just like you are flesh and blood, God is Love. It’s what He is made of – He is the source of all Love on the planet.

And remember that love is UNCONDITIONAL. It does not depend on the condition that you obey human-made Church laws, are moral, or religious…He loves you no matter what.

You are basically a clean person with dirty glasses. Even though there is nothing wrong with you, you think that you’re bad and dirty, because you look through the wrong glasses. Learn to see with the eyes of God, and believe what Scripture says: "To the pure, ALL things are pure".

Just clean your glasses, and learn that God is Love incarnate…and study hard.
