Deliberate Creation in Popular Culture - Encore

[Osho Rewa]

[attachment=0:3sr3r8qa]cooltext90367031MouseOver.png[/attachment:3sr3r8qa]

Heyya friends,

Every single successful person we have heard of, has used the
same laws to create their magnificence. And the good thing
is most of them speak it out - this is the best news ever for me.

Why is this called encore? coz this is where it started:
http://theabeforum.com/forum2/1966.html


>>

"Bless what you want"
from the Hawaiian Huna tradition

"Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what
is excellent in others, belong to us as well."
Voltaire

>>

This is what is called modelling in modern terms, and it is super powerful.
I know coz I am now a whole new person, and super excited to be more.
This is great way to keep focussed on what we want.

Join in, post your favorite people, post your appreciation.

Cheers!!

This man has created 600 million dollars in wealth doing what he loves, rapping.

Jigga, I don't like it if it don't gleam gleam
And the hell with the price
Cuz the money ain't a thang

Money aint a thang:
YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.


His confidence is massive,

"I came, I saw, I conquered"
(from Numb- Encore)


He has the number one quality I see in all winners, he fails. He knows what failure is, sees it for the stepping stone it is,

"I will not lose for even in defeat, there's a valuable lesson learned so it evens up for me."
from Blueprint 2, The Blueprint 2


"...I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of not trying..."
from Beach Chair, Kingdom Come


"...How you get so fly? From not being afraid to fall out the sky..."
from Beach Chair, Kingdom Come


He is hungry for more:

"Treat my first like my last and the last like my first and my thirst is the same as- when I came."
from My 1st Song, The Black Album


'Cause all I want to do is make history at this point. They got to pay me to make history of course. But that's my goal. I want to sit there with people really into making history.if everybody's not committed to making history every time I go into a meeting, and if I can't look into their eyes and I don't see the fire, then I gotta move on.

Paris Hilton
[attachment=0:ihizvfy8]051607_parisbook.jpg[/attachment:ihizvfy8]


This magnificent lady chose to be born rich. And she's beautiful,
intelligent and famous too. And she lives with flair, I love that.


"I think it's important for girls to be confident. Believe in yourself"

"I’m like an American princess."


There's nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic
blonde -- like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana -- and right now, I'm
that icon.

"It will work. I am a marketing genius."


She's got Life figured out:

"The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday"

"Life is too short to blend in."


"There is no sin worse in life than being boring--and nothing worse than
letting other people tell you what to do. I was one of the few
heiresses to walk the runway as a model. A lot of people thought that
was shocking. Why did I do it? Was it a desperate cry for attention,
like the papers said? Hardly. It's not like I need any more attention.
Did I do it for money? Of course not. I did it because it was fun."

[Deva]

WOW! Paris Hilton reads the Secret - that is so good for her! I have been noticing she is in a really positive place lately... & JAYZ He's my boy! I've heard him asked 1000 times as to how does he keep out of tabloids he says ' I am a firm believer that what you give out you get back' & he always makes it known that he really does not care what others think. TOTALLY LAW OF ATTRACTION.. Jayz seems to be one of those people who has figured it out . I really appreciate him... As usual, very fun thread George! :hug:

Lindsay Lohan

I found this lady while looking for a pic of the Black Amex,
she's got a smiley on hers :D

[attachment=1:2uxi1zni]lohancard2.jpg[/attachment:2uxi1zni]

She's 22 and livin her dreams

“Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.”

“Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?”

"I'm a very spontaneous person."

"I'm very honest. I always speak my mind"

That Girl
YouTube- Lindsay Lohan - Teenage Drama Queen - That Girl

There was a girl i knew who always wanted to be the one to stand out from the crowd
Always believe that she was gonna live her dreams..

Armed with an attitude that she knows how to use.
She's gonna get there any way she can.
Now she knows what she wants no one is gonna stop her nothings ever gonna hold her down.

Life is a work of art you gotta paint it colorful,
Can make it anything u want don't have to stick to any rules
You don't need a high IQ to succeed in what you do,
You just gotta have no doubt just believe in yourself.

Doubters, non-believers.. once were dreamers.
One of these days you'll open up your eyes... and you'll realize

[Chorus] 2x
That girl was a one time teenage drama queen
A hot, tough everyday wannabe...but she'll have changed her destiny.. now she's a somebody.
That girl was a wild child dreamer but she found herself.
Cuz she believes in nothin else and you'll look back and you wont believe that girl was me.

Will Smith

[attachment=0:18jjr6k1]WillSmith.jpg[/attachment:18jjr6k1]
His films have grossed over five billion dollars.
Guess what's the secret that propels this talented rapper, comedian, actor.
He believes in himself, and knows he's here for greatness:

“In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.”

“If it was something that I really committed myself to, I don't think there's anything that could stop me becoming President of the United States.”

“ I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.”


"I want the world to be different because I was here. However lofty or crazy or delusional that "may sound, I want people's lives to be better because I was here."


I love his playfulness, Bad Boys was super funny


"Afro Angel, sent from heaven above
Never forget that you are loved
You know that you are loved”

“Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.”


He's worth a $188 million USD - now that's super!


woooooooow I just found this video of Will Smith speaking on positive thinking,
he is so passionate about speaking this out:
YouTube- Will Smith on the Power of Positive Thinking

"I was raised in a very spiritual household. I believe wholeheartedly that our
thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas are physical in this universe.
That if we dream something, if we picture something, if we commit to
something that is a physical thrust towards realization that we're putting
into the universe.

The universe is not a thing that is pushing us around,the world, situations,
people are not something that are pushing us around. We command, and
demand the universe and what we want it to be."



"Someone asked me what is my preoccupation with happy endings, the tone
was as if that was not realistic. It threw me off for a while.
Don't we all want happy endings? The first thing, you have to believe.

It is unrealistic to walk into a room, flip on a switch and have lights come on,
fortunately Edison didn't think so. It is unrealistic to bend a piece of metal,
and have people fly over an ocean in that, that is unrealistic, fortunately the
Wright brothers didn't believe that. It just seems such a ridiculous idea to me to
embrace the idea that it is not going to happen, that its not real. As soon as you
say it, now that's you're reality.

People ask me about racism in Hollywood. Why would I acknowledge racism?
When you acknowledge the obstacle you actually give it power. I want to walk through it.
I want to walk over it. I want to walk around it. So my preoccupation.. is with the power
that we all possess individually.

My preoccupation with the happy ending is, that is our power, to believe in that
possibility that is our power, don't give it away."



He uses his focus for what we focus on grows:

"As an actor I look for the one thing I can connect with the character.
what is the one thing, one idea. I build on that one thing.

[Osho Rewa]

I have a dream.

I have a dream that I will create a movie with the rich and famous from all arenas
sharing passionately about how they achieved their magnificence.

Imagine how inspiring this would be, imagine how many people this would touch.

[Osho Rewa]

It would be a movie like no other, the authenticity, the believability. It would finally make success mainstream!

[Osho Rewa]

And it would be so interesting, so captivating. I would watch it :D

[Osho Rewa]

More Will Smith

"I want to be an idea. I want to represent possibilities. Make a choice,
you just decide what is going to be, who you're going to be.
Just decide. And from that point the universe is going to get out of your way,
its like water. I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want."


"One of my favorite books is The Alchemist, Paulo Cohelo, i just believe that.
I believe I can create whatever I want to create. I feel very strongly that
we are who we choose to be."


The short interview clip:
YouTube- Will Smith Interview - 1WayToSuccess.com


"People would always say that you got to be more realistic, why? I don't to ever
be realistic. The first part of achieving anything is that you have to believe it.
Ali would always say he was the greatest. Because you have to say it, you
have to imagine it, you have to put it out in the universe if there's ever
any possibility that you gonna achieve it.

I believe very strongly that anything I decide I wanna do, I will be able to do it."

George Lucas, Creator StarWars
[attachment=1:2zp2tfh5]Main-George-Lucas.jpg[/attachment:2zp2tfh5]


Keep looking for what you love, don't settle said Steve Jobs, so says George too:

“I had a different life planned out for me”


"Everybody has talent, it's just a matter of moving around until you've discovered what it is."

When George talks of Working hard I hear that as dedication, and giving it your all -

"Working hard is very important. You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take those risks, to be able to jump over the hurdles, to be able to break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you."


“The secret is not to give up hope,” says Lucas. “It’s very hard not to because if you’re really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side. You just have to hang in through that.”


"If you want to be successful in a particular field of endeavor, I think perseverance is one of the key qualities."

focus:


"You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on
and plow right ahead."

He did it for his own joy:

"I thought it [Star Wars] was too wacky for the general public. Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don’t like it, they don’t have to see it."

"My first six years in the business were hopeless. There are a lot of times when you sit and you say ‘Why am I doing this? I’ll never make it. It’s just not going to happen. I should go out and get a real job and try to survive’."

"Suddenly everything came together in one place. All my likes, everything I actually seemed to have talent for was right there."

Wisdom from Master Yoda (created by George Lucas)

[attachment=0:2zp2tfh5]Yoda.jpg[/attachment:2zp2tfh5]

"Use the force, feel it"

"No try not, do"

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

"The fear of loss is a path to the dark side. Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. "

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose"

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Yanni
[attachment=0:xrk9sonh]Yanni.GIF[/attachment:xrk9sonh]


I just heard a Yanni interview - I am so touched by his warmth.
YouTube- Yanni Interview 1of2

I'm transcribing:

"Creating for me is one of the most powerful deliberate acts a human being can do.
It is one of the most important reasons to exist. It fulfills me."

Yanni describes his channeling process:


"In order for me to create there is an intense focus that takes place. You got to stop the
input from society. You got to stop the bombardment, all the information that comes in.
The phone calls, and somebody's birthday, and Christmas is coming..all that stuff has
to go away, does not exist. That's not so easy to do, I've learned over the years to do it
very well."

"Once you are clear and stop all of that tremendous input, all of a sudden you hear yourself
talk. You can go into a place where creativity lies, and the music has no end. As many songs
as you like to do. I can close my eyes and hear entire compositions, one after the other.
And they are unending, when you are in that place. The only requirement is you do not judge it,
you don't say this is a nice one, this is a fast one, this is a rhythmic one, coz as you as you do
that you are outside that room looking in. Athletes may call it the zone, its a magical place."


"Music can communicate such delicate and subtle emotions that are next to impossible to describe with words.It gives me tremendous ability to talk to people.The way I felt when I created that piece, someone should be able to feel, listening to it"


Our state of being is what materializes:

"First I know what what the emotion is, what the song is going to feel like, before I know what's the rhythm, the speed, the sound, the melody, anything - its just an emotion, a pure emotion, I know what it should feel like.


And how the creation process feels to him, Abraham would say the meaning of life is LIFE!
I want to feel this feeling;

"How beautiful the feeling is when you create. When you make something out of nothing.
It lives and breathes, and you succeed at it. The happiness I get from that, the fulfillment."



His expectation is more powerful than governments and cultural conditioning,


"The one thing that really surprised me about the Chinese audience was that I was
told 'Don't expect too much from them, don't take it personally, they are like that'
Couldn't be further from the truth, these people are warm, they love music, they
express themselves, they made as much noise as any American audience has ever made.
"
"As far as the government was concerned I was treated perfectly. They changed nothing
that I wanted to say during the concert or do during the concert. They were accepting
because I was accepting towards them."


I appreciate that he speaks out what he feels, this is a quote from the man:

"We have to understand that our thoughts are our most precious resource,
everything begins there. At some point a thought turns into a dream and
that's when the magic begins. A man's dream or a woman's dream is so
powerful it could change the world. "
-
YouTube- Yanni - Nostalgia - Royal Albert Hall, London



I like the titles of his CDs & tracks, "In Celebration Of Life" , "One Man's Dream",
"Enchantment", "Love is All", "Reflections Of Passion"


And another of his quotes:

"Of all the forces that have exerted in life, atleast for me, Love has been the most powerful of all. We need to learn how to love and accept each other. I learned that very valuable lesson early on in life, because I moved from Greece to America. And to this day people ask me "Are you Greek, or are you American?" I am a human being just like all of us,and then I'm Greek or American or Indian or Chinese."

"We must come to understand that there are as many ways to live life as there are people"

YouTube- Yanni- Love Is All



On his Album If I Could Tell You:

"It was the most effortless album I've made"


What a rush it is to perform before audiences that are just as passionate and cheering you on!

I like that when he plays the piano - he blends into it - such a loving time

And the music he composes is food for the soul, truly nourishing and rejuvenating.

I like the taste he brings to everything he does, this music video for Reflections Of Passion is such a bright example
YouTube- Yanni - Reflections of Passion

I appreciate that he brings so much passion to what he does - it oozes out of him as he performs


I like how he has attracted to himself such an awesome group of co-creators, such a joy it is to be working with passionate lively people. See this video 'World Dance', and you'll get an idea of what I'm talking about:

More of Yanni

On his success, I love his confidence:

"I was a persistent and knew people would enjoy what I had. That I could connect with them,
that it would have an effect.That I would get through"

"Reality follows your heart"

I love his frankness too , I'm really liking this man, I will go to a Yanni Live concert.

"Human beings are very powerful. All of us, not just some of us
and there is nothing that we cannot do. There are no limits"

"At some point in life you must begin to listen to yourself.
If you believe in yourself, if you have a dream, and this dream is powered with passion
and love for what you do, there is no way you will not succeed"

Author J K Rowling, who enthralled readers with the adventures of Harry Potter, told a different audience that "We do not need magic to transform our world."

Speaking at Harvard University after she collected an honorary degree on Thursday night she urged students to use their imaginations to improve life.

"We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: We have the power to imagine better."

The British author also stressed the benefits of failure recalling her struggle as a poverty-stricken single mother before she found success with her string of novels about a bespectacled boy wizard.

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life," she said describing the days she lived on benefits in Edinburgh.

Ms Rowling, who is now worth an estimated £560 million (that is a billionaire in US dollars) and is ranked the 12th richest woman in Britain, continued: "The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are ever after secure in your ability to survive."

And she advised: "You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity."

She called such knowledge "a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned."

:heart: Shannon
appreciating JK's commitment to charity, for being wealty, for being imaginative, for being a fantasy writer, for being a best seller, for being a world icon, for being successful, for having a burning vision and following it.

She worked in a frenzy finishing Harry Potter despite very little free time as an impoverished single parent. Truly inspiring!

Kush Pal Singh

The world's richest real estate baron worth $30 billion Kush Pal Singh's greatest
achievement is that he transformed Gurgaon, a barren village then, into a buzzing world class township. He got started when he met Rajiv Gandhi (who'd soon become India's Prime Minister) in a deserted expanse of land near Delhi when Rajiv Gandhi's car sputtered and he came for water to the well where Kush Pal Singh was sitting and wondering about how to deal with the country's archaic land development laws. His chat lead to the young Gandhi leaning on the troublesome local authorities and Kush Pal Singh getting his foothold.

My takeaway: What are the chances of meeting one of the most powerful politician while you are sitting in the middle of nowhere, and him having the time to talk to you (while his car cooled down)?
Very high, when your energy is aligned.

Sample this: On October 3, DLF(KP Singh's company) saw its market capitalisation jump by a spectacular Rs 20,782 crore -- or $5.25 billion -- As Singh owns over 88% of DLF, his personal wealth skyrocketed by Rs 18,338 crore ($4.6 billion) in just one day!

Henry Ford

This man had a magnificent vision that cars would become so affordable that
all his employees would be able to drive one.
Reality check: there were no road systems or frequent gas stations at that time.
Reality check: He had no formal education

He succeeded, he created cars that started a new era, he built a multi billion dollar fortune.
How did he do it?

He understood that only he could define what was realistic for him:
“Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.”


[attachment=0:317942tg]Main-Henry-Ford.jpg[/attachment:317942tg]


Bashar talks about the importance of choosing one's state of being consciously, being passionate about being passionate

"Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas. "



We all start with all there is, we are all born rich, successful geniuses.

"You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn’t correct. We all start with all there is. It’s how we use it that makes things possible."


The value of prepaving, remember Abraham points out that 99% of a manifestation is done before the evidence starts showing up:

"Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success."



As with every single successful person I have come across, he understands failure, he defines it as something that is a part of success:

"Every mistake may turn out the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement"

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. "

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal"

"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward. "



He kept focussed on what he wanted, his vision. When ribbed over his lack of education in court he replied:
"Why should I clutter my mind with general information when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I need?"



I am learning so much from him about running a company:
"It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history."

"It is not the employer who pays wages – he only handles the money. It is the product that pays wages."

He paid his employees double the average wage at the time, what a concept:
"There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible."

"A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large."

A video of Henry's quotes with beautiful music:
YouTube- Henry Ford - inspirational words of wisdom



This man looked past the dualistic worldview:
"What we call evil is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark. "


He understood that Now is supreme:
"We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today."


Impossible is nothing:
"There is no such thing as no chance."

A bio sketch on Henry Ford
YouTube- American Studies Henry Ford Slideshow


He found the joy in work:
"The object of living is work, experience, and happiness. There is joy in work. "


He kept an open mind, kept learning, a child like mind
"Anyone who stops learning is old whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young."


He defined his friends intentionally
"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me"


He simplified things
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs"

Scott Adams, Creator Dilbert Cartoons
[attachment=0:1awevjj3]scott_adams2.jpg[/attachment:1awevjj3]

Scott Adams talks in the book The Dilbert Future about how he uses affirmations, and says its what gave him his first break and later made him a best selling cartoonist with Dilbert. Here's his own words:"The idea behind affirmations is that you simply write down your goals 15 times a day and somehow, as if by magic, coincidences start to build until you achieve your objective against all odds. An affirmation is a simple sentence such as “I Scott Adams will become a syndicated cartoonist.” (That’s one I actually used.)"


"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes."

"Most success springs from an obstacle or failure."

“Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger
[attachment=0:nus65z5i]schwarzenegger-with-cigar.jpg[/attachment:nus65z5i]


I love this man for what he represents, he created himself.

This man dreamed big right from the start.As a 15 year old,
he announced his dream and he went on to achieve it.

"I want to be the best built man in the world. Then I want to go to America and be in movies. I want
to be an actor."


"In two or three years, I had actually been able to change my body
entirely. That told me something. If I had been able to change my body
that much, I could also, through the same discipline and determination,
change anything else I wanted. I could change my habits, my whole
outlook on life."


"I wanted more, I demanded more of myself."


"I kept my batteries charged with the adventure movies of Steve Reeves,
Mark Forrest, Brad Harris, Gordon Mitchell and Reg Park.....utterly
dominated by Reg Park. His image was my ideal. It was fixed indelibly
in my mind. The more I focussed in on this image and worked and grew,
the more I saw it was real and possible for me to be like him"


"I've seen firsthand coming here with empty pockets but full of dreams,
full of desire, full of will to succeed, but with the opportunities
that I had, I could make it."


"I had found the thing to which I wanted to devote my total energies and there was no stopping me."


His passion, his knowing:


“We all have great inner power. The power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.””


“For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.”


"Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner."


"I was always honest about my weak points, this helped me grow. I think
it's the key to success in everything: be honest; know where you are
weak: admit it."


"When I see that I have certain backward attitudes, I reason them out and work to make my outlook more realistic."


"Most of the people I observed couldn't make astonishing advances
because they never had faith in themselves. They had a hazy picture of
what they wanted to look like someday, but they doubted they could
realize it. Ultimately they didn't put out the kind of effort I did
because they didn't feel they had a chance to make it. And of course,
starting with that premise, they didn't."


"Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response
that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn't matter."


“Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.”


“You can achieve anything.”


“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.”


“Every year I make a plan. I do it. It will be done.”


“To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach."


“What I’m doing is the thing I want to do. I don't care what other people think. If the rest of the world disagrees and says I shouldn't waste my time, I still will be a bodybuilder. I love it. I love the feeling in my muscles, I love the competition, and I love the things it gives me. I have never really had to work in my whole life. I’ve always made good money. I’ve traveled all over the world competing and giving exhibitions. I’ve made a living out of a pastime."


"What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know."



I love his unshakable confidence in himself and his vision

I like that he goes for what he desires

I appreciate that he has achieved all his early dreams and now rides forth even more strongly ~ focussed desire feels powerful

I like that he's suave, he's got charm

And he don't mince words - says it like he sees it.

"I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined
for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally
immodest. I agree."


What a feeling it is to be a winner,

Rhonda Byrne, Creator of The Secret
[attachment=0:3varney1]C_43008135.jpg[/attachment:3varney1]


I salute this lady, she started a revolution

It is amazing how within months of reading "The Science of Getting Rich' Rhonda made her vision a reality.

And the Secret was so well presented, so well marketed

And she's become very wealthy - again all in a matter of a year or two

Some quotes from this genius:


" I truly had no idea how I was going to bring the knowledge of The Secret onto the movie screen. I just held to the outcome of the vision, I saw the outcome clearly in my mind, I felt it with all my might, and everything that we needed to create The Secret came to us."


"The reason visualization is so powerful is because as you create pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with what it is you want, you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now. Visualization is simply powerfully focused thought in pictures, and it causes equally powerful feelings."


"Play the picture in your mind - focus on the end result."


"VISUALIZE!!! See it, feel it! This is where action begins."


"You are the most powerful magnet in the universe! You contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful than anything in this world, and this unfathomable magnetic power is emitted through your thoughts."


"When the opportunity or impulse is there .. ACT."


"The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing."

Live your life your way
“One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations.”


Keep it fun.
"Don’t force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It’s the child’s desire to play that matters, not the parent’s desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun."


Tell your own story
“I did envisage being this successful as a player"


As you live your life fully, you naturally uplift others
“I think it's an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. ”


Be easy about all of this
“If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?”


Keep it simple, keep it going
“I had to take baby steps all year,”


Be bigger than your problems.
"I Smile At Obstacles"


Know you can do it.
"My Will Moves Mountains"


Follow your passion.
"I love to play golf, and that's my arena. And you can characterize it and describe it however you want, but I have a love and a passion for getting that ball in the hole and beating those guys. "

“Follow your instincts,That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.”


When Oprah’s impulse also told her to change the direction of the show and take the content to a higher ground, there was a real concern among the others involved who worried the show would drop in the ratings. But, Oprah trusted her gut, saying, “It took a lot of courage to take the high road, but I would rather be significant with six million people watching a show with meaning, than everyone watching a show with no meaning”.


"Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity, don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand.”



“We are each responsible for our own life – no other person is or even can be,”

Herman Hesse

[attachment=0:umb41i6n]n35310.jpg[/attachment:umb41i6n]

This German author was talking about the Law of Attraction back in the 1920's.
Very leading edge.


"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."



"When you throw a rock into the water,it will speed on the fastest course to the bottom of the water. This is how it is when Siddhartha has a goal, a resolution. Siddhartha does nothing, he waits, he thinks, he fasts, but he passes through the things of the world like a rock through water, without doing anything, without stirring; he is drawn, he lets himself fall. His goal attracts him, because he doesn't let anything enter his soul which might oppose the goal. This is what fools call magic and of which they think it would be effected by means of the daemons. Nothing is effected by daemons, there are no daemons. Everyone can perform magic, everyone can reach his goals, if he is able to think, if he is able to wait, if he is able to fast."

(Siddhartha, 1922)

I am an Oprah fan! She brings leading edge ideas to the masses. I have loved Hermann Hesse, especially The Glass Bead Game, one of my favorite all time books.

I give you Leonardo Da Vinci, Renaissance Man.

The book about Da Vinci is based on what author Michael Gelb calls the seven da Vincian Principles: curiosita', an insatiable curiosity; dimostrazione, testing knowledge through experience; sensazione, continued refinement of the senses; sfumato, a willingness to embrace ambiguity; arte/scienza, developing a balance between art and science; corporalita', cultivating fitness and poise, and connessione, recognizing and appreciating that all phenomena are connected. Gelb believes that following these principles leads to success, whether it be learning a new language, cooking a gourmet meal, or being more effective on the job.

"Leonardo is truly the global archetype of human potential," says Gelb. "We may not be able to achieve his level of genius, but by thinking like he did, we can certainly develop our innate abilities."

I like Da Vinci because he played with what he observed and invented from that, even hundreds of years before his working drawings could be made in form. He kept journals about his observations for the passion of it, and from that he created. This is his ornithopter:

Buckminster Fuller
Bucky had it right. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the great American visionaries of the 20th century. Best-known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, Fuller devoted much of his life to resolving the gap between the sciences and the humanities, which he believed was preventing society from taking a comprehensive view of the world. His theories and innovations traversed the worlds of architecture, visual art, literature, mathematics, molecular biology, and environmental science and have had a deep impact on all of those fields.

Bucky was a guru of the design, architecture, and 'alternative' communities such as Drop City, the experimental artists community to whom he awarded the 1966 "Dymaxion Award" for "poetically economic" domed living structures.

In 1927 at the age of 32, bankrupt and jobless, living in inferior housing in Chicago, Illinois, Fuller lost his young daughter Alexandra to complications from polio and spinal meningitis. He felt responsible, and this drove him to drink and to the verge of suicide. At the last moment he decided instead to embark on "an experiment, to find what a single individual can contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity."

Words coined:
Livingry is juxtaposed to weaponry and killingry and means that which is in support of all human, plant, and Earth life. "The architectural profession--civil, naval, aeronautical, and astronautica—has always been the place where the most competent thinking is conducted regarding livingry, as opposed to weaponry."—
Tensegrity is a contraction of tensional integrity. "Tensegrity describes a structural-relationship principle in which structural shape is guaranteed by the finitely closed, comprehensively continuous, tensional behaviors of the system and not by the discontinuous and exclusively local compressional member behaviors. Tensegrity provides the ability to yield increasingly without ultimately breaking or coming asunder"

The Whitney Museum has a Buckminster Fuller exhibit opening now, so that is how he happens to be visible in popular culture.

In 1978 Madonna left the University Of Michigan at the end of her sophomore year and moved to New York City to pursue a dance career. “"When I came to New York, it was the first time I'd ever taken a plane, the first time I'd ever gotten a taxi-cab, the first time for everything. And I came here with $35 in my pocket. It was the bravest thing I'd ever done.


“I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.”


“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”


“Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep.”


“Never forget to dream”


“I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.”


"That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure."

I love what a real person Tom is, so expressive, so passionate

“Something magnificent has happened to me and something extraordinary, and I'm so happy I just can't restrain myself”

Tom on Oprah with Katie YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.



What a way to live life, being consumed with passion all the way

“I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can't do something halfway, three-quarters,
nine-tenths. If I'm going to do something, I go all the way.”

“I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.”

"I do it because it's fun. I'm not a great mountain climber but things like that excite me."


Anecdotes (Source:Anecdotage.com)

By the time he was 14, the future actor had attended 15 different schools across North America. At 14, he enrolled in a seminary to become a priest but dropped out after one year.Cruise borrowed $850, left his New Jersey home, and, accompanied by his mother, drove to New York City in a Ford Pinto with a busted transmission. He soon attended his first professional audition -nursing a hangover.

"You're too intense and you're not pretty enough for television," Tom Cruise was once told by a network executive. "You should try features."



Tom Cruise was dyslexic which is a condition hindering the ability to read and learn, for many years. He learned how to read (using a technique developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard) only after starring in Top Gun in 1986. Cruise, at the time, was 24 years old.

“I always thought there is gonna be a way,” he recalled. “I'm gonna figure this out. And I am gonna fight thru it and I am gonna figure it out and I am gonna make this work.”


-------

He says you learn most from successes, I love that and that's my experience too, you learn much more when you have things going for you and you are relaxed

“I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning”


He's open minded:
“Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?”


Tom is an active member of Scientology, whose primary beliefs are
# A person is an immortal spiritual being (termed a thetan) who possesses a mind and a body.
# The thetan has lived through many past lives and will continue to live beyond the death of the body.
# man is basically good
# man is endowed with abilities well beyond those which he normally considers he possesses.

Steve Jobs

I love Apple for the stellar products they come up with - its got a class of its own, products you'd be proud of as a creator

"We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make "me too" products. For us, it's always the next dream."

"We used to dream about this stuff. Now, we get to build it. It's pretty neat."

"It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge."

"Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me."

Such a joy that is aye, creating beautiful things.




I like his supreme self confidence, people told him the Mac's design was impossible, he told his engineers to do it anyway.


"Because I'm the CEO, and I think it can be done."
- On why he chose to override engineers who thought the iMac wasn't feasible, as quoted in TIME magazine (2005-10-24)



"It'll make your jaw drop."
- On the first NeXT Computer, as quoted in The New York Times (1989-11-08)


"Everyone wants a MacBook Pro because they are so bitchin"



He allows money to flow to him easy-peezy. But ofcourse.

"I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three and over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four, and over a hundred million dollars when I was twenty-five and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money."




The trust, the knowing that he had even as a youngster with a philosophy education

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. "

" have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."


"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

Virgin Active
Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Limited Edition hotels
Virgin Mobile

more!

So many brands one thing in common - Richard Branson -
he is such an inspiration to entrepreneurs all over


He is a very candid man - his book Losing my virginity is such a gem

I like that he's playful - there's a youtube video of him pushing someone into the swimming pool at a dinner
YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

Oh and he once lifted a lady's skirt at a party :)


He's such a solution oriented person - he calls himself Dr. Yes


He got over an abysmal school record sheerly through his belief in himself

"Once again, I was the captain of my ship and master of my fate. I believe in myself. I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love."



He's got a great sense of humor
“With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.”

"Being circumcised at twenty-four is not a good idea," Virgin Records founder Richard Branson once remarked, "particularly if the night after the operation you find yourself watching Jane Fonda's erotic film Barbella..."Hearing my screaming, my first wife, Kristen, came running to see what the matter was. When she found out what happened, she was in stitches. I no longer was."


more quotes from him

“I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer.”


"Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming. "


"Above all, you want to create something you are proud of.... That has always been my philosophy of business. I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money."


He's rich really rich - worth billions of dollars

he promotes entrepreneurship in Africa - so empowering


when someone asked him if today's kids are spoiled with too much, he said you can never shower too much love and praise on children.

"Lavish praise on people and people will flourish; criticize people and they'll shrivel up."


He's so bold in his vision - he's building a private space ship facility

And he lives life large - he's got two private islands Necker and Mosquito,
owns a game reserve in Tanzania


He's willing to try things out, to experiment - how cool is that

"We’ve got an engaging, edgy, vibrant, fun product. It may or may not work, but we’re going to give it our best shot."


"My general philosophy in life is you never really go wrong saying yes."



Sent to boarding school until he was 15, Branson excelled in a wide range of athletics, but struggled with his academics - “Since nobody had ever heard of dyslexia, being unable to read, write or spell just meant to the rest of the class and the teachers that you were either stupid or lazy,” he recalls. Sent to a different school, Branson was initially expelled for his nocturnal visits with the headmaster’s daughter. But, after writing a fake suicide note, Branson got the expulsion overturned. When he was 16 years old, he dropped out of school to move to London and launch Student Magazine, which did see relatively more success. After his first issue of Student, the headmaster of Branson’s school wrote a note saying, “Congratulations, Branson. I predict you will either go to prison or become a millionaire.”

In the next forty years, Branson would go on to prove his headmaster right on both counts.


From Branson's book Screw it, Let's Do it -

"Throughout my life I have always strived for success - as a businessman, in my adventures, as an author and a proud father and husband. I want to share the many truths I’ve learned along the road to success which have helped me to be the best I can. They include:

* Have faith in yourself
* Believe that anything can be done
* Live life to the full
* Never give up


Learn these and other simple truths, and I hope you will be inspired to get the most out of your life and to achieve your goals. People will always try to talk you out of ideas and say: "It can’t be done," but if you have faith in yourself you’ll find you can achieve almost anything."

He's in touch with his feelings, is guided by his feelings- here's a quote from him:

"Mark Burnett approached me with his idea for The Apprentice and I just knew it was right.
Did I know it was going to be a hit show? No. In fact, I didn’t know the statistics that 95% of all new shows fail,or I might not have done it at all. But once again, that gut instinct just carried me through the doubts and stats, and I can’t say I was terribly surprised that it was successful. I knew it had the right ingredients, but that’s not always a guarantee. I just had a feeling it would work.

Ever said that to yourself? That’s an indication that you are working on the level of a visionary. You can’t always give precise reasons why or why not something will work, but you will somehow know it. That feeling will give you a lot of energy and confidence, even in the face of contradictory indications. Work on developing that instinct! "


Now that's what I'm talking about that confidence, that sureness in oneself - in Life.

And I love that he encourages everybody to think big - thinking big is fun, its exciting:

"Over 20 years ago I coined the term Think Big, I became an even bigger success after I said it than before. It obviously works."

"I like thinking big, I always have. To me its very simple, if you're going to be thinking anyway - you might as well think big."

"I'm famous for two short sentences, 'Think Big' and 'You're Fired' and I suggest strongly that you pay attention to the first one, so you won't have to hear the second one."


You can find two free recordings from Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki by going here. http://www.whywewantyoutoberich.com/register.aspx



I like that he's honest - playful in his approach to life :

"I was walking down Fifth Avenue with Marla Maples in 1991,"
Donald Trump once recalled. "This was at the peak of the bad market.
Across the street I saw a man in front of Tiffany with a tin cup. I looked
at Marla and said, 'You know, right now that man is worth $900 million
more than I am.'"

[According to Trump, the Guinness Book of Records later named his return to solvency the greatest financial turnaround in history.]


I like that he builds big beautiful things he's proud of -

"For me, a major joy of my business is being able to exercise my own vision and creativity and to express myself.

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate."


I love that - having enterprises as my avenue to express my creativity - seeing my vision standing in front of me

And Donald has a team of people who have been working with him since 25 years, people who handle all of his enterprises superbly - they're solid, smart, loyal and passionate about the businesses.


Donald makes bold statements - I love that too - its fun. Boldness makes life an adventure


Donald Trump loves money and he's not afraid of showing it ~ I really love money too


A conversation between Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump from the book Why We Want You To Be Rich

"There's something else,"said Donald. "You and I look at making money
as a game. We have fun. We enjoy the game. Sometimes we lose, but
mainly we win. We have fun."

"It is fun," I said. "I love the game."

"But most people don't see making money as a game ," said Donald."They think of it as life and death, winners and losers."

"Survival," I said. "A struggle for life itself,which is why they are
terrified of losing money. That's why they look at investing as risky."

"And wind up in risky investments:' Donald added, gently slapping his desk. "It's a financial tragedy."

"Their loss of money?" I asked.

"No, the fun they miss out on. Making money is fun. Life is supposed to
be fun. And millions of people are living in fear instead of having
fun.That's the tragedy."


I found a great set of videos interviewing Donald:
YouTube- Donald Trump on The Millionaire Inside - Erin Burnett 1

Quotes from there:

"It all starts with passion"

"You have to tell yourself that you are great, and you have to believe it"

"If you really love what you are doing you are going to succeed; You are going to succeed."

Albert Einstein
http://iam-iam-iam.com/atlantis/attachment.php?id=284

Here was a man ordinary in every way except one, in his words

" I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. "


He started taking rides with his imagination

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."

I like that, I like his willingness to explore the unknown, to let his imagination reveal things to him.

He also understood that we create our reality -

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. "


Wouldn't it be nice if I were as at ease with and indeed enjoying my imagination as Albert did.

We're all geniuses - and that's simply a factual truth - for we're all really working with One mind - Infinite Intelligence - really Our mind - its only a matter of how much we allow it to flourish - how bold we are in exploring our own intelligence - Albert did it well , made such stunning contributions to humanity as unlocking the key to energy inside atoms.

I wish the same for myself - the satisfaction of contributing creatively

the rush of exploring areas unknown - and coming upon stunning ideas.

"Just allow yourself to listen, That is all."

"Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift."


I appreciate that he was a loving man - bathed in beauty - I posted a story called "The Night I Met Einstein" on http://iam-iam-iam.com/atlantis/forum93/540.html , check it out, it'll warm your heart.

Larry Ellison, Founder Oracle (Billion dollar Software Company)
[attachment=2:3ktax59y]Ellison_Larry-chair_final.jpg[/attachment:3ktax59y]


I like this man, he's bold - he makes statements of what he wants even when it seems distant, he's following his own beat

"I'd like Oracle to be the No. 1 software company in the world."



He's built a beautiful mansion which is said to be a replica of Tokyo - it looks so elegant, its nice to be able to build a home that reflects my tastes

[attachment=1:3ktax59y]Ellison_PICS.jpg[/attachment:3ktax59y]





He's at peace with life - doing his best and then letting go

"You can't worry about it, you can't panic when you look at the stock market's decline, or you get frozen like a deer in the headlights. All you can do is all you can do."


He's honest

"Five years from now I don't know how I'll think."



He's wonderfully rich and revels in his wealth, buying the best of toys like this megayacht - its fun to scuba , and lounge on the deck and do all the other yachty things
[attachment=0:3ktax59y]Ad_1632_4.jpg[/attachment:3ktax59y]


"I think after a certain amount I'm going to give almost everything I have to charity. Because what else can you do with it? You can't spend it, even if you try. I've been trying."


"I thoroughly recommend it"
- Larry on having more money than he knows what to do with.



He's found the space of joy in creating things - what a place to live from

"So what makes me happy? I was really happy to build this house. That's it. Building things."


Indeed he finds so much joy in his work, he says it is play.

“What is play? What is work? Is work something you get paid for and play something you don’t?” questions Ellison. “I put a lot of work into my job, where I get paid. They're all in pursuit of the same thing: self-discovery"




He's learned how to use all the influences around him to his benefit

"All examples are good,” says Ellison. “Bad examples are useful; good examples are useful. It taught me to question experts, to question authority figures. Don't assume they're right just because they're in authority, or just because they're experts. "


Oracle provides a site called Think.com for school children - its a safe place where they can create web pages, chat with other school kids from all over the world -

I have seen how much my young sis has benefited from this one resource - she feels so confident about the computer and internet now, her creativity is flowing, she's chatting up with some charming young man in Hawaii - totally fantastic

When you're rich you can invest in the things you really care about - it makes such a difference


I like that he's built up a billion dollar corporation

I like that he flies his own private jet

I like that he's supremely confident of himself and his ideas

I like that he's bold

Here's to you Larry

"From the time I was a kid, I always knew something was going to happen to me. Didn't know exactly what. "

I know that feeling, yeah! You know that you're here for something, something important at that. You feel it bursting inside of you.

"Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can't help but move to it. That's what happens to me. I can't help it."



Love Elvis' smile , charm

Mad on stage - fuckin gave it all

Jail House Rock Live YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.


And what a voice - the richness, the strength

Perhaps the most good lookin fella ever




One adventure after another - from his movies, to his live performances, he was havin the time of his life -

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed, has come true a hundred times... "



An allower of such talent, such creative expression - the seeds of joy he planted vibrantly alive

"People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn't copy my style from anybody "

"Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside"



And its so obvious he was doing all a this for his own entertainment - he messed up his own songs, ad-libbed, whistled right in between a show - havin a ball all the time


"Since the beginning, it was just the same. The only difference, the crowds are bigger now."

Steve Irwin - The Crocodile Hunter
(Written by Sierra, I'm only bringing it to this forum.)

[attachment=0:13unlyba]steveterriandbindi.jpg[/attachment:13unlyba]

Few celebrity deaths have impacted me like the death of Steve Irwin. Steve was a true animal lover, and was one of those people who always see animals through the eyes of Source.

Born to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Essendon, a suburb on the outskirts of Victoria's capital Melbourne, Irwin moved with his parents as a child to Queensland in 1970. Bob was a reptile enthusiast and when the family moved, his parents started the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles. Steve became involved with the park in a number of ways, including taking part in daily animal feedings, as well as care and maintenance activities.

On his 6th birthday he was given a srub python. Bob educated Steve on reptiles, with Steve getting involved physically with crocodiles at the age of 9. He became a crocodile trapper, removing crocodiles from near populated areas, performing the service for free with the quid pro quo that he kept them for the park. Steve followed in his fathers' footsteps, becoming a volunteer for the Queensland Government's East Coast Crocodile Management program.

Steve's father, Bob, described Steve as "a monster" (Discovery: Steve's Story) that was fascinated in animals. Even much so, his father recalled that before their (rare) vacations everyone was ready and packed when Steve was out 'chasing and studying' lizards and other animals.

The park was a family business, with Lyn and Bob turning it over in 1991 to Steve. He took over the running of the park, now renamed the "Australia Zoo", and in 1992 met (at the park) and married Terri. The footage, shot by John Stainton, of their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter, which became wildly successful in America and the UK. His exuberant and enthusiastic presenting style, broad Australian accent, constant wearing of khakis and catch-phrase "Crikey!" became known worldwide: The Crocodile Hunter aired in over 122 countries worldwide.

Under Irwin's expansive leadership, the operations grew to include the zoo, the television series, The Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation, and International Crocodile Rescue. Improvements to his Australia Zoo include the Animal Planet Crocoseum, the rainforest aviary, and Tiger Temple.

Irwin believed in promoting environmentalism by sharing his excitement about the natural world rather than preaching to people. He was concerned with conservation of endangered animals and land clearing leading to loss of habitat. He urged people to take part in considerate tourism and not support illegal poaching through the purchase of items such as turtle shells. He considered conservation to be the most important part of his work: "I consider myself a wild-life warrior. My mission is to save the world's endangered species."

He founded the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation, which was later renamed Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, and became an independent charity. He and his wife remained patrons and major supporters along with the AFL clubs of Australia.

QUOTES FROM STEVE IRWIN

"I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it."

"I'm very embarrassing to look at. You know why? Here's why I'm embarrassing: 'cause there's a little bit of me in everybody....I'm like the boy that never grew up. I'm very, very passionate about what I do. I mean, I love what I do....and people are like, "God, give this guy a valium or something, you know? Can't he have a bad day?"

"I have a message for my fans. Whatever you want to do in this world, it is achievable. The most important thing that I've found, that perhaps you could use, is be passionate and enthusiastic in the direction that you choose in life, and you'll be a winner."

Bill Gates, Founder Microsoft
[attachment=0:2pv1j25v]bill.jpg[/attachment:2pv1j25v]

This is a man I admire tremendously - the world's richest man for years.He has paved a path that didn't exist earlier in terms of the sheer amount of money an individual can create.

What a magnificent money blue print he has. And you know what its solid in every way - his wealth has been consistently soaring ever since his teens.

What a brilliant company he's built up - one that gets the pulse of people, delivers software that millions benefit from and find easy to use - Word, Windows, Outlook - awesome stuff

I've heard that he's a very cool, composed person, he's just like one of us, he thinks a few degrees differently on some subjects that's all

"I can do anything I put my mind to"
11 year old Bill Gates to a pastor

"I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot."


and he continues to be so passionate about what he does , in a recent interview he said

"I always believed in the magic of software"


he envisioned what software could do when others didn't even understand what it was -Such a passionate man, and always so optimistic, so sure about his optimism. He says the best years of computing is only still starting.

"As I look forward, I'm very optimistic about the things I see ahead.”

"I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and of course for technology, ... And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime."


Bill Gates and Steve Jobs talk about their beginnings, their thinking, a very nice interview from 2007.
YouTube- Steve Jobs and Bill Gates Together: Part 1


And he's doing so much good with his money, I know in India he has provided so many schools with PCs and internet access. the difference that can make to the children, to the culture, to this country.


"I like to think about things"

"I'm very optimistic that if you're smart enough you can change the world"


He loves what he does

"For me its more about the fun of doing the thing. Its just fun to get good group of people together and write software products"

"My job is about the most fun thing I do."

“Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are
pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and
fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit
solidifies into circumstances.”


"Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome
of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure.
Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success."


Lyrics Excerpts

If Wishes Were Horses
Come with me you can wish upon a star
You can do all the things that you've longed to
And you won't have to wonder who you are
You can be anybody you want to
Just close your eyes and imagine

Sam Walton, Founder Wal-Mart

[attachment=0:3pprwkci]Sam_Walton_320x240.jpg[/attachment:3pprwkci]


"I think I overcame every single one of my personal shortcomings by the sheer passion I brought to my work. I don’t know if you’re born with this kind of passion, or if you can learn it. But I do know you need it."


"If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever."



"Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. If people believe in
themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish."



"High expectations are the key to everything."


"I always prided myself on breaking everybody else’s rules, and I always favored the mavericks who challenged my rules."


"Celebrate your successes. Find some humor in your failures. Don't take
yourself so seriously. Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen
up. Have fun. Show enthusiasm - always. When all else fails, put on a
costume and sing a silly song. Then make everybody else sing with you.
All of this is more important, and more fun, than you think."


I'm reading Sam Walton's biography, here are a few quotes:


"It taught me to expect to win, to go into tough challenges always planning to come out victorious...
It never occurred to me that I might lose. Thinking like that often seems to turn into a self-fulfilling
prophecy."

Another very wealthy man who has given us so much.his greatest gifts are not even his charities, he was the one who commissioned Napoleon Hill to study the rich - he was the birth place of Think And Grow Rich.


What a wonderful man , he took himself from zero to $298.3 billion in 2007 dollars,

through him came a great company

great libraries

and universities

and he patronized arts

most of all he encouraged one and all to become rich, he emphasized it was possible, he shared how he got there, his thinking

such precious people these

"Aim for the highest. "


"Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! "


He equated success with happiness

"There is little success where there is little laughter."

Napoleon Hill talking about his meeting with Andrew Carnegie, a rare video -
YouTube- Napoleon Hill talks about his meeting with Andrew Carnegie

"Let me call your attention to a great power which is under your control, a power which is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education, greater than all of your fears and superstition combined. It is the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire. Whatever your mind feeds upon, your mind attracts to you. All success begins with definiteness of purpose, with a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want from life."

[Osho Rewa]

I'm reading Sam Walton's biography, here are a few quotes:

"When I'm gone, on my tombstone I'd like 'Thank you and goodnight', because I have no regrets. The sad thing is most people have to check with someone before they do the things that make them happy. We're all passing through; the least we can do is be happy, and the only way to do that is by being selfish." ---from imdb.com
