A story that can change your life  Jim Cathcart was working at the Little Rock, Arkansas Housing Authority, making $525 a month, with a new wife and baby at home, no college degree, no past successes, and not muchhope for the foreseeable future.One morning, he was sitting in his office listeningto the radio, to a program called "Our Changing World" by Earl Nightingale, who was known as"the Dean of Personal Motivation." That day, Nightingale, in his booming voice, said somethingthat would change Jim's life forever: "If you will spend an extra hour each day in study of your chosen field, you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less."Jim was stunned, but the more he thought about it the more it made sense. Although he had never given a speech, he had always wanted to help people grow in areas of personal development and motivation. He began his quest to put Nightingale's theory to the test by reading books and listening to tape

Parable of Distrust- This is a story about a man called Joseph, who had the misfortune to get caught in a serious flood. The water was rising all around him and was soon up to his knees. He climbed the staircase to the first floor but still the water rose. It wasn't long before the water was up to his waist and he looked out of the window to see what was happening to his neighbours.A boat was passing and the occupant shouted,"Hey, Joseph! Quick, climb aboard my boat and I will take you to safety." Joseph smiled and replied, "Thank you very much, but I have had a word with God and he will take care of me. You use the space on your boat to help others less fortunate than myself." Soon the boat was out of sight.The flood would not stop and the water continuedto climb. Joseph was forced onto the roof of his home and he surveyed the catastrophe below him.A helicopter flew over Joseph and a man used his microphone to tell Joseph thatworse was yet to come. He threw

We all hear a lot about goals. Success magazinesare laden with them. Soccer magazines are frantic about them and I have been jumping up and down about them since I began marketing online in 1998.Firstly, what is your perception of a goal?Is it something only ultra successful people chat about when being interviewed by a success magazine? Is it really about putting that ball in theback of the net with a fine header ("look Mom - nohands"), or is it about listening to me on my soap box ranting and raving about their importance?Well, first of all; yes it could be all of the above. Goals are very personal which is not overly evident from the above examples. Mr/Ms Success mentions how important goals are but doesn't spend a lot of time during an interview talkingabout how to implement them. The Socceroos spend five minutes congratulating one another with an abundance of hugging after one of their boys rifles the ball into the net for that ever elusive goal. We know they're

Being A Mother- After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me totake another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you."The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to goout for dinner and a movie."What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that alate night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news."I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded."Just the two of us."She thought about it for a moment, and then said..."I would like that very much."That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noti

Growing Up or Growing Old The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a Smile that lit up her entire being.She said, "Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I'm 87years old. Can I give you a hug?"I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze."Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.""No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.After class we walked to the student

Self-Esteem is NOT Just for Kids I'm positive you've done the same thing as me.  Wondered about what exactly it is that separates those who we deem to be "successful" (and look up to), from those who are not.Talent, ambition, vision, sacrifice, stick-to-itiveness and resilience are all major qualities I'm sure you'd agree, but I've simply lost count of TOO many absolutely brilliant, creative and serious entrepreneurs who are still wallowing in the mediocrity they sought for so long to rise above. In most cases, it's heartbreaking.It really got me thinking about what could possibly be the ONE defining trait or quality of those we admire in our quest to be successful. Here's one conclusion I came to.I've never met an individual who I considered to be truly successful on the personal and business level who wasn't filled with good feelings about themselves! The kind of people who can look in the mirror and say "I like you a lot&qu

Commitment  think about a time when you were excited about what you were doing. Now think of a time when you were doing something because you had to. Were there differences in your effectiveness and productivity? Did you even have a sense of the difference in the emotion between the two situations as you thought about them now? Those differences are what makes commitment vital to success.There is less loyalty and more skepticism in the workplace. In this environment, how do we develop a sense of commitment for ourselves? How do we create a sense of commitment with others whose support we need in order to get work done?The Remarkable Differences Between Compliance and CommitmentIn the beginning of this article, you were asked to think about two situations that illustrated the difference between commitment and compliance.The table below summarizes the differences between compliance and commitment.CompliancePeople do things because they have to.We need compliance when• there isn't

Believe what you feel On this day, Morrie says that he has an exercise for us to try. We are to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying on another student to catch us. Most of us are uncomfortable with this, and we cannot let go for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves. We laugh in embarrassment.Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl whom I notice almost always wears bulky, white fisherman sweaters, crosses her arms over her chest, closes her eyes, leans back, and does not flinch, like one of those Lipton tea commercials where the model splashes into the pool.For a moment, I am sure she is going to thump onthe floor. At the last instant, her assigned partner grabs her head and shoulders and yanks her up harshly.“Whoa!” several students yell. Some clap. Morrie finally smiles. “You see”, he says to the girl, “you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. Youhave to believe what you feel.

11 Lessons for Graduates and You I certainly remember the anxiousness I felt after graduation. So whether you are graduating high school or college, know a graduate or perhaps you are graduating to the next level of your life and careerI wanted to share 11 lessons from The Seed that Ihope will empower and inspire you on your journey. 1. You are here for a reasonand the most important thing you can do in life is to find, live and share your purpose. It’s the one thing in life that truly matters and if you don’t pursue it, everything else is meaningless. 2. Follow your passion.It so often leads you to your purpose. You may not know what your passion is right now. That’s ok. The important thing is to make it your life mission to find it, live it and share it. To help find your passion, seek outjobs and experiences that allow you to use your strengths and gifts. Do what energizes you. 3. Beware of hobbies.Just because you love spending time on Facebook doesn't mean you would e

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns ahorse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainerwho would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200

ERROR. ERROR. ERROR!  A man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send a mail to his wife. he accidentally typed d wrong email address, and without realizing he sent the mail to a widow who has just returned from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her mail, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends. After reading d first message she fainted. The son rushed into d room, found his mother on the floor and saw d computer screen which read: 'to my loving wife, i knw u are surprised to hear from me, they hv computers here and we are allowed to send mails to loved ones. I 've just been checked in. How are u and d kids, d place is realy nice but am lonely here. I hv made necessary arrangement 4 ur arrival 2morrow. Expecting u darling. I can't wait to see u.

A small boy once approached his slightly older sister with a question about God."Susie, can anybody ever really see God?" he asked. Busy with other things, Susie curtly replied: "No, of course not, silly. God is so far up in heaven that nobody can see him."Time passed, but his question still lingered, so heapproached his mother: "Mom, can anybody ever really see God?" "No, not really," she gently said."God is a spirit and he dwells in our hearts, but we can never really see him."Somewhat satisfied but still wondering, the youngster went on his way. Not long afterwards, his saintly old grandfather took the little boy on a fishing trip. They were having a great time together -- it had been an ideal day. The sun was beginning to set with unusual splendor as the dayended.The old man stopped fishing and turned his full attention to the exquisite beauty unfolding before him.  On seeing the face of his grandfather reflecting such deep peace

A brother and sister had made their usual hurried, obligatory pre-Christmas visit to the little farm where dwelt their elderly parents with their small herd of horses.The farm was where they had grown up and had been named "Lone Pine Farm" because of the huge pine, which topped the hill behind the farm. Through the years the tree had become a talisman to the old man and his wife, and a landmark in the countryside.The young siblings had fond memories of their childhood here, but the city hustle and bustle added more excitement to their lives, and called them away to a different life.The old folks no longer showed their horses, for the years had taken their toll, and getting out to the barn on those frosty mornings was getting harder, but it gave them a reason to get up in the mornings and a reason to live. They sold a few foals each year, and the horses were their reason for joy in the morning and contentment at day's end.Angry, as they prepared to leave, the young c

 pls read it diligently. *MARRIAGE  MARRIAGE is like a shoe. !When you wear oversize be ready to drag it along through out life, and when you wear under-size be ready to feel the pains through out life." One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is. That is why I thought it necessary to write you this letter. Dear Singles, When you are ready to buy your own shoe please take note of these three things: 1.  PHYSICAL APPEARANCE :   Do not look for the beautiful ones, the nice ones or the cheap ones. Look for the one that is your size. Not every handsome, wealthy or intelligent guy is for you, not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns with your values and belief, the one who you meet at your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife. 2.  POSITION:   All sizes of

christmas questions Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated. The perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident. Question: Who was the survivor? Answer: The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man. Women stop

Post to all married couple. *TEN (10) GOLDEN SECRETS OF MARRIAGE:* *TO THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED AND/OR ARE PREPARING TO GE T MARRIED SOON* 1. *EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A WEAKNESS* Only God has no weakness. Every rose flower has its own thorn. If you focus too much on your spouse's weakness, you can't get the best out of his/her strength. 2. *EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A DARK HISTORY* No one is an Angel, therefore, avoid digging one's past. What matters is the present life of your partner. Old things are passed away. try to forgive and forget. The past can't be change. So Focus on the present and the future! 3. *EVERY MARRIAGE HAS IT'S OWN CHALLENGES* Marriage is not bed of roses. Every shinning marriage has gone through its own test of hot and excruciating fire. True love is proved in time of challenge. Fight for your marriage! Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in time of needs. Remember this is the vow you made on your wedding day! 4. *EVERY MARRI

*Who is Jesus?* *In chemistry*, He turned water to wine. *In biology*, He was born without the normal conception; *In physics*, He acted against the law of gravity when He ascended into heaven; *In economics*, He performed against the law of diminishing return by feeding 5000 men with two fishes & 5 loaves of bread; *In medicine*, He cured the sick and the blind without administering a single dose of drugs; *In history*, He is the beginning and the end; *In government*, He said that He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace *In religion*, He said no one comes to God the Father except through Him; So, *Who is He*? *He is Jesus!* The Greatest *Man* in History *Jesus* had no *servants*, yet they called Him *Master*.

💯✔Today at UBA bank, a Fulani man goes to the ATM and withdraws all his money. Then goes inside the same bank and deposit the same money he withdrew telling the bank officer that, my money is not safe outside in the ATM...people are just withdrawing anyhow and they may end up withdrawing my money. Keep my money inside the bank, please. Don't Smile alone😅😅😅, Good morin

I've you experienced the long queue at ATM points these days? I wonder where the recession everyone keep shouting about is coming from. Yesterday afternoon, I tried to check if I still have some money in my account. After staying in the queue behind a guy for about 45 minutes, a girl walked up to me and said, "Please sir, I'm in front of your back." Out of annoyance, I replied, "Come and stay in the center of my front!".

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me - The Twelve Days of Christmas. What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas? This week, I found out. From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. •  The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. •  Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments. •  Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. •  The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. •  The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five book

MY FIRST TIME TO USE A CONDOM..  .  I entered a shop and bought a pack with 3 condoms, looked at them  curiously for a while wondering how on earth I could use them.  The Lady at the counter noticed my puzzlement and asked sincerely,  ''Have you ever used a condom?  Do you know how to put it on?''  I blushed and said,"No!"  The lady took one condom and opened it and wore it on her thumb as  an example. "This is how you wear it. You have to make sure its tight!''  I was even more puzzled by this.  I was just an innnocent young man.  She noticed how shy and confused I was. "You must be a virgin," she  said teasingly.  "Have you ever had sex?"... She asked.. l said, ''No!" Then she looked around the  shop;there was no one but just the 2 of us.  She called me behind the counter, opened  the door leading to the back rooms and invited me in.  She quickly locked the door,told me to hurry up...  &qu

THINK ABOUT THIS: Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer, But stay awake through a 3 hour movie? Why are we so bored when we read the Bible, But find it easy to read other books? Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God, Yet we forward the funny ones? Why are Prayer houses getting smaller, But bars and clubs are expanding? Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity, But very difficult to engage with God? Think about it, are you going to forward this? Are you going to ignore it, because you think you will be laughed at? Forward this to all your friends. 80% of you won't forward this. God  said: If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of judgement: When one door closes,God opens two : If God has opened  doors for you, send this message to everyone including me.... God has no BLACKBERRY but He's my favorite contact ... !! He is not on FACEBOOK but He is my best friend .... !! He is not on TWITTER but I still follow

Story abt an ANGEL who has been takingcare of u even b4 u were born & will alwayz take care no matter  how much  U grow old......n v call that  angel as  MOTHER , MUMMA , MOM... My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your mom only has one eye!’I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, ‘ If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?’My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a

One of the most famous Titanic survivor stories is that of Charles Joughin, chief baker on RMS Titanic. The man who somehow drank his way though the Titanic disaster and lived to tell the tale. Here is an account of this Titanic survivor and his bizarre story that some still find hard to swallow. Like any cruise ship of current times, the Titanic was designed as one big party boat. You can’t go on a cruise ship without entertaining the idea of having a few cocktails to go along with the view, and the Titanic was no different. According to the ship’s manifest, the drink order for the Titanic included 1,500 bottles of wine, 15,000 champagne glasses, 20,000 bottles of beer and stout, and at least 850 bottles of spirits. The cargo manifest reveals further reserves of 17 cases of cognac, 70 cases of wine and 191 cases of liquor. This was all in addition to the personal stocks of booze that passengers were sure to have included as well. In addition to the copious amounts of spirits that w

Everyone should please be very careful during this festive season. I don't usually share these sort of stories but this happened right before my very eyes. Yesterday at about 4pm my neighbour called an Aboki (shoe maker) to help fix her slippers. She allowed him, stay in their compound, while she went back inside to continue with what she was doing. While he was fixing her slippers, he added something inside before stitching it back. Fortunately for her our landlord was at his balcony watching the Aboki without his knowledge. When he was done he called her to tell her that he had finished. She came out of her apartment and he handed the slippers for her to wear it, immediately our landlord screamed from upstairs; "don't put ur leg in that slippers". He rushed downstairs and demanded that the Aboki wear the slippers first, but the Aboki refused. One thing lead to another and the entire compound was alerted including myself. We literally had to use force on him

Thinking "Out of the Box" Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl wouldthen have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked theblack pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant's garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pi

MEANINGLESS GOALS A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it. One day a neighbor asked the farmer "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car?" The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if he ever caught one." Many people in life behave like thatdog who is pursuing meaningless goals.Life is hard by the yard,but by the inch,it's a cinch.

A POUND OF BUTTER There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weighthe butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, amour Honor, I am primitive.
