“Hidden in troubles, lies the key to our magnificent opportunity.” Albert Einstein.
Be aware of opportunities. It comes in our life at the critical moment that we have to make major decision and this decision has far reaching consequences on our future direction of our life.
“We are told that talent creates its own opportunities, but it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.” Eric Hoffer.
Dr. Booker T Washington said, “I have found that success is measures not so much by the position attained in life as by the obstacles which have been overcome in attaining that position.”
Learn to differentiate between genuine opportunities that may disguise as something good. Give yourself time to ponder and allow your instincts to reason and make decision. Take advice from friends you trust and beware of friends with vested interest.
“America is only another name for opportunity.” Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Mr Warren Buffett Taught Peter To Fish
The son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett has an old-world spiritual message for today's money-rich parents: teach your children values and do not give them everything they want.
Musician and now author Peter Buffett said “Economic prosperity may come and go; that's just how it is," he writes in the book. "But values are the steady currency that earn us the all-important rewards."

Look At Your Self - Uriah Heep
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."
The husband said: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!"
And so it is with life: "What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge. "

Advice From Mr Warren Buffett
"The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love. And I think that if you offered that to your child, I mean, you’re 90 percent of the way home. There may be days when you don’t feel like it — it’s not uncritical love; that’s a different animal — but to know you can always come back, that is huge in life. That takes you a long, long way. And I would say that every parent out there that can extend that to their child at an early age, it’s going to make for a better human being."

Competence....Who Are You? The Who !!!!!
“The day you stop learning is the day that you start decreasing your rewards and start suffering from frustration and lower levels satisfaction.” Brian Tracy.
Competence as defined in Collins Cobuild dictionary as, “is the ability to do something well or effectively.” Someone who is competent has the ability, knowledge and skill to do something in an efficient and effective way.
“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” Jim Rohn.
A PhD in engineering does not automatically make you a competent engineer. You must have the knowledge and the practical skills to be called competent.
Practice makes you competent. Vash Young said, “Any experience can be transformed into something of value.”
Don’t take shortcuts. Master your jobs and you will be the master of your destiny in the corporate world.
“Feed your mind with mental protein, not mental candy. Read, listen to and watch positive uplifting material.” Brian Tracy.

A Reminder - Walking For Exercise
Exercise must be something that you enjoy doing, NOT something that you must do. One of the most practical and enjoyable exercises is WALKING.
Charles Dicken once said, "Walk and be happy, walk and be healthy. The best of all ways to lenghten our days is to walk, steadily and with a purpose."
The benefit of walking were revealed in a Health Insurance Study of 110,000 people in New York City. At the end of the time, 41% of the nonwalkers were dead, while only 23% of the walkers were.
Walking is as essential to the human body as breathing. It is a muscular symphony, where all the muscles and parts of our body moves as we walk.
Have positive attitude. A lively fresh outlook is essential for enjoyable living at any age.
Mark Twain said, "Whatever a man's age he can reduce it several years by putting a bright-coloured flower in his buttonhole."

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” Og Mandino.
“The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the ‘buts’ you use today.” Les Brown.
