Success and Happiness
This Site is about successful and happy people.
Why Think Positive
When things go wrong, remember:It's not WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU that matters most...
Kick the Worry Habit
Most of us worry.We worry about our jobs, our children ... and what the neighbours think!
Trying to Change People
Trying to change other people is usually a bad idea! Why? Because you get frustrated - and they start to hate you!
Wishing for Things
Lots of us use visualisation to achieve goals.It's where you go...
Save First!
Lots of people can make big money. Few people can save big money!
Make Me Happy!
When you are feeling cheerful, do ever say to yourself, "I should go hang around some gloomy people!"?
What is More Important?
Average people put average effort into lots of things. Achievers put major effort into key things.
Your Words and Thoughts
It's hard to control our thoughts - but we CAN control what comes out of our mouth.
Just Do It!
AN INTERESTING LIFE DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN TO YOU. You choose it. You plan it.
When Things Are Beyond Your Control
To become happier, we either need to a) change the world, or b) change our thinking. It is easier to change our thinking!
Patience
Get a daily plan, stick with it ... AND allow yourself time to improve.
Laughter
Laughter not only reduces physical pain. It reduces mental pain!
Excuses
In life we have either excuses - or we have results.
What We Have
How often do we overlook the great things we have - and we go looking for new stuff? (We do the same thing in relationships!)
Relationships
Relationships are tricky! The strategies we think SHOULD work, don't work! The strategies we think WON'T work, do work ...
When Life Gets Tough
How do you survive when life gets tough?
How do you hang on when you are grieving, lonely or broke?
The Power Of Thoughts
How often do you ...
* bump into old friends in unlikely places?
* learn a new word, and suddenly you see it everywhere?
* hum an old tune, and then hear it on the radio?
Where Am I Going?
Did you ever ask yourself: "What am I doing in this stupid job?"
Do you ever feel like you are stuck?
Lessons
Until we learn a lesson, we keep getting it again - and again!
Happiness Myths
Despite all the myths, age has nothing to do with happiness!
Why?
Asking "WHY?" questions can send us in circles.
Often, there is no answer to "WHY?"
Or it doesn't matter why!
Prosperity
Some people seem to get respect wherever they go - whether they are in a department store or at the doctor's or in a hotel lobby ...
Your Best
Eric Moussambani swam for Equatorial Guinea at the 2000 Olympics. He didn't win.
Forgiving People
At some point most of us learned that it is a good idea to forgive people. We learned that it is "holy" or "spiritual".
Character
If you want self-respect, and respect from others, you don't have to be a genius or a super-model.
Track Record
I know a fellow who is forever trying to clinch million dollar deals. But his big deals never happen! Meanwhile his car is falling apart and
even his dog is getting thin.
Happy Travelling
Do you ever forget things when you travel? I used to leave home without passports, suits, tickets, shoes, neckties, socks, briefcases and underwear
- though usually not all at once.
What Surrounds You
Mix with happy and motivated people, and you become happy and motivated - and you think that is normal.
When to Quit?
Imagine you've started learning piano - and already you are thinking: "This is too hard. Maybe I'll learn the triangle ..."
The Law of the Seed
Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds.
"If It Doesn't Kill You..."
The American cyclist Lance Armstrong competed at the 2000 Olympics with a broken neck. Armstrong had a head-on collision with a car in August,
suffering severe bruising and fracturing his C7 vertebra.
"I Can't Do It!"
During your first weeks of school, you are sitting in mathematics class gazing out the window when the teacher asks you, "What's the answer?"
Commitment
When in 1961, President John F. Kennedy committed to put a man on the moon "before this decade is out", he had no idea how it would
be done - and NASA didn't know how either.
Making More Money
Question: Which people make the most money?
Answer: It's mostly the people who use their imagination to create things ...
Pain
When you accidentally bite your tongue, it's hard to see "pain" as something positive. The same goes for a blister on your big toe
- who needs a throbbing foot?
Everything Is Connected
Have you noticed that whenever you exercise regularly, you feel like eating healthier food?
Patterns of Behaviour
Some people are always late! They can get up at five am to be at work by nine, and at ten fifteen they are still searching the house for car
keys and washing their socks!
Little Things Count
SUCCESS at anything is not the result of doing one big thing "right".
Throw out the Junk!
Want to feel rejuvenated and enthusiastic? Clean out your wardrobes and throw the junk out of your house. Really!
Presents
Guys are forever getting into trouble for buying wives and girlfriends the wrong presents. So this newsletter is for the men - and for women
to send to men ...
Isn't it Amazing?
Isn't It Amazing? Fred boards a jumbo jet in Bangkok at 11.30pm. The jet seats 420 people and it weighs as much as a small apartment block.
Why Set Goals?
Sometimes we pick up the newspaper and read where an accountant has just rowed across the Atlantic in a bathtub, or where a librarian is riding
a camel from L.A. to New York.
Enjoying Your Work
P.C. removes garbage. He and his team clean the subway tunnels in New York City - not the platforms, the tubes!
Focus on What You Want
You are about to make a speech in front of two hundred people. You tell yourself, "Don't be nervous! Don't forget your lines! Don't embarrass
yourself!"
Friends and Money
I have a friend called Jim. He has worked hard all his life and now he is quite wealthy. He lives the good life.
Happiness Is a Daily Decision
I remember waiting for my life to get easier. I thought, "When I have less problems, then I'll be happy!" Then
I noticed something fascinating.
Family
Isn't it funny how we often treat strangers a whole lot better than we treat family?
Employee and Team Success Secrets
Building employee and team motivation can be a difficult! It is not easy to create an environment in which employees enjoy working - and are
motivated to achieve.
