99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. - Steven Wright

thought for the day

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying. Would you sell both your eyes for a million dollars ... or your two legs ... or your hands ... or your hearing? Add up what you do have, and you'll find that you won't sell them for all the gold in the world. The best things in life are yours, if you can appreciate yourself. Dale Carnegie

Unemployment

According to The Economist American employers shed 85,000 jobs in December confounding hopes that job losses may be bottoming out. A revision to November’s figure recorded a rise of 4,000 jobs for the month, the first increase in almost two years. America’s unemployment rate remained steady at 10%, as more people dropped out of the workforce. How do they take into account the millions of people out there who are employed but only working 15 to 30 hours a week?

Concluding my tribute to Jim Rohn (September 17, 1930 - December 5, 2009)

Today concludes my tribute to Jim Rohn. The following ‘thought’ was the one I used for #100 many years ago and I wanted to use it again for #1000. I am sure that Jim’s wisdom will find its way here again in the future. He was a great man and a big influence in my life.

Do not doubt yourself, for where doubt resides, confidence cannot. Do not neglect yourself, for with neglect comes loss. Do not imagine yourself to be less than you are, nor more than you are, but seek always to become all of which you are capable. Do not allow yourself to become arrogant or discourteous, for both are characteristics adopted by those who seek to cover their weaknesses. Do not spend time regretting the past, but invest that time wisely by preparing a better future. You are a fertile seed of the creator of all things, destined not to lie dormant, but to spring forth from the soil called life, and grow upward toward the unlimited horizons - overcoming all obstacles in the process. It is your destiny to tap your talents and to achieve all that of which you believe yourself to be worthy.…to love more, anticipate more, overcome more, plan more, attract more, and to enjoy more than you ever dreamed possible. Such is the standard of life awaiting your mental decision and outstretched hand. You are deserving - you are becoming - and you shall succeed. Jim Rohn - The Seasons of Life


These are my exact sentiments for each of you!


May your 2010 be a 10!

Continuing Jim Rohn Tribute

There are those who will laugh at those who read useful books, and yet there is little difference between those who cannot read and those who will not read - the result of both is ignorance. Jim Rohn - The Seasons of Life

I used to say, 'I sure hope things will change.' Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change. -- Jim Rohn
