h4strongYou’re Never Too Old to Develop Intelligence/strong/h4 How often do you hear sad stories about the human brain? Well, forget stories about the brain including that it’s at its peak when we’re in our twenties, and then sadly, it slowly begins to decline to the point that we are in old age with fragments instead of clear memories in the brain and we can’t even remember our own name, let alone anyone else’s.

h4strongSolitude: Intimate Sense of Connection with all others/strong/h4 It is fact, that in order to become whole and happy, human beings need a measure of solitude – which is very different from loneliness. Solitude is when we are on our own – but feel deeply connected to all around us.

read moreThe Zen of Success – Draw Success from Like-Minded People
There is a success theme that runs through the economies you might have noticed or determined for yourself by now that is quite common in all global markets. By associating with like-minded entrepreneurs and people we draw success from them in the form of validation for what we are about and the success we strive for each day, and more importantly by doing so we are able to validate the success in ourselves, although it might be a small success of reaching a goal, but it is our success. For example, when you go to a conference you go to...

How often do you check your email? Monday I sat down and found that I personally waste approximately 2hrs of my workday checking my email. It is true. You could have 20% more time in your work day. Sad thing is people rarely take immediate action on the emails they get. You may label them and attempt to organize them, but usually we only respond to them at the beginning or end of the day. Most of the interaction with email is actually checking to see what’s there. Refreshing then checking all the folders requires stopping what you are...

We’ve all heard the phrase “You are what you eat.” Well, it applies mentally too, as in “You are what you think.” You should understand that your thoughts can be either good or bad, can either be useful or useless, and either meaningful or meaningless. Now I think everyone understands that some thoughts are permanent and keep periodically rising to the surface of our mind, and then of course some thoughts are casual, and we can selectively use or discard them at our will and pleasure, and last, there are thoughts we have that disturb our...
read moreThe Zen of Success – Build a Success Knowledgebase
Most successful people definitely read a lot, if not all the time. They tend to build both internal and external libraries with the knowledge they find and are able to absorb, and I call them success libraries made of material and information that serves to improve our lives. Now when you think about it most successful people start build their libraries early on, especially the internal reference libraries they carry with them in their minds, and they continually are thinking of ways of how the information can be used to best impact the...

I think most people will agree that emotion and energy are contagious, especially as positive energy flows, so goes the emotional energy which is very contagious. Now keeping with that thought, it just makes perfect sense to ,surround yourself with people who not only strongly support you, but truly aspire to the achievement of the same things you too, want to successfully reach. This is one very good reason why forums and groups of like-minded people are naturally powerful, even if the members come from different businesses and backgrounds....
