WATCH OUT! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 8

Dear loving readers and visitors,

Please be informed that I will be away, from Jul 18 to 21 (both date are inclusive) and I will try to post series 9 and 10, if it permits. Otherwise, I will do so when I came back on from Jul 22. This post, I am going brief you about:-





8. Inland Taipan

The prize for The Worlds Most Venomous Snake goes to the Inland Taipan of Australia. Just a single bite from this snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice. Its venom is at least 200 - 400 times more toxic than a common cobra. The Inland Taipan's extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an adult human in as little as 45 minutes. Fortunately this snake is very shy and there has been no documented human fatalities (all known bites were treated with antivenin).

Although, it has never killed anyone, it does not mean that it won't in the future. I am sure you have heard about "prepare for the worst but hope for the best". Please stay with this blog, but to add more knowledge. Hope you will agree with me. Otherwise, please forward your thought and let me give it a due consideration. Thank you in advance.

That's all for this post.

Thanks for your time and seeing you again.

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 7

Dear loving readers and visitors,

This post will be my 7th in my series of most venomous animal and I am presenting to you :-

7. The Brazilian wandering spider




The Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or banana spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most venomous spider and is the spider responsible for most human deaths.

This spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Only 0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse. They are also so dangerous because of their wandering nature. They often hide during the daytime in highly populated areas inside houses, clothes, boots, and cars..

It's venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism - uncomfortable erections lasting for many hours that lead to impotence.

Sounds so scary, right? The enemy is everywhere, stay in control of yourself and nothing can move you unless you give consent to it. As such, I encourage you to equip yourself with adequate knowledge and you shall be rest assured to overcome all challenges. You will not only can defend yourself, but also protect your loved ones at ALL times.

Please do your part to spread this blog to others, so that they also receive the benefit like you. I just did. It is the way of showing our cares and concerns through sharing. Do not underestimate this small action. The impact may be very great. Remember THE MIGHTY FLAME FOLLOWS A SPARK OF FIRE. Same principle applied here. Just do it. The effect will take its course. Thank you in advance,

Have a fruitful day and look forward to seeing you again and again,

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 6

Dear loving readers and visitors,

We have come to than half of our series of poisonous animals. in this post, I am going to present you another poisonous animal, ie. no other than the :-





6. Stonefish

Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being The World's Most Venomous Fish. It's venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours, it can be fatal to humans.

Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators.

Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef.

Scuba drivers, please be more vigilant if you were in these region of this oceans. "It is nice to touch, once broken is considered sold." Sound familiar when you shop in the shopping complex. In ocean, it is even more costly if you touch this small creature and it returns with a kiss.

Thanks and trust you have learn something today. Seeing you again,

James Oh

WATCH OUT! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 5

Dear loving readers and visitors,

Thanks for your time spent on reading this blog and trust it will generate sufficient value for you to remain as its royal readers. Your continuously support is greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to voice out your concerns so that I can improve from my end to serve you better. This is our belief that we are able to deliver our commitment to serve you well.

This post, I am going to introduce to you another poisonous animal, which some of you may know. It is not other than :-

5. Death Stalker Scorpion




Contrarily to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or swelling).. However, the Death Stalker Scorpion is a highly dangerous species because it's venom is a powerful cocktail of neuro-toxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would unlikely to kill a healthy adult. Young children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.

Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and the Middle East.

For those residing around these regions, please do take care and spread the news to others. Who knows, you may save life.

You may also be aware that popular beliefs may not be always right. If you recall, lots of theories were made against the popular belief before a new theory is accepted. One of the great theory is that the earth was flat - that was the common belief at one time. Another theory was that flying was impossible by men.

To be able stand out from the crowd, you must set yourself free from these limited thoughts/beliefs You must constantly expand your references so as to have better evaluation on thing you see. Remember life is a gift.

I always believe that through sharing knowledge and experience we can make this world a better place to live. Don't forget that you and I have been benefiting a lot from those who have passed down invaluable knowledge.

Big thanks to all these great heroes, who have taught us in every aspect of our lives. Now, it is our turn to pass these back to the world we have benefited from, no matter how small is our contribution. You make the difference.

Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you again.

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 4

Dear loving readers,

I will continue to run this series of the program on the 10 most poisonous animals, this post I will talk about:-

4. Blue-Ringed Octopus





The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that it can kill a human. Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the world's most venomous animals.

Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neuro-toxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation of breathing and ultimately death.

So, do not underestimate its size, which normally may oversight of its impact.

They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.

Be vigilant before you deep into the water.

It is always wiser to equip ourselves with appropriate knowledge. Not only we can save our own lives, but also of others.

Trust I have passed back to the world the knowledge I have received.

Thanks for your time and your favor to assist me to achieve my destiny is greatly appreciated.

Before I end this post, make a guess what is the next poisonous animal ? I will give you the answer in my forthcoming post.


Have a fruitful day,

James OH

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 3

Dear loving readers,

As promised to you earlier, I like to share with you on the third poisonous animal. That is not other than :-

3. Marbled Cone Snail





This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animals which I have posted much earlier. One drop of its venom is so powerful that it can kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it, don't even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey.

Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed in onset for days. It results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and breathing failure. There is no anti-venom. However, only about 30 human deaths have been recorded from cone snail.

Equip yourself with this knowledge and you may retrieve and use it when the need arises. Do not be unnecessary worried.

Please do follow up on the next most poisonous animals which you should be aware of? Please tell us more about it if you know of. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your time and look forward to seeing you again and again.

James Oh

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 2

Dear loving readers,

Even no one has put forward his guess on the second most poisonous animal, I believe most of us aware that of the danger of the King Cobra.

2. King Cobra





The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the worlds longest venomous snake, it can grow up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Ophiophagus, literally means snake-eater as it eats other snakes. One single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human. This snake is even capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.

Its venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but the King Cobra is capable of injecting 5 times more venom than the black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba. It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests..

I won't be surprised if you were to find a cobra in your house, even if you are living in the city. That's exactly happened to me couple of years ago. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the firemen, which I contacted, managed to catch it and brought it away from my house. Thank God that they managed to find it, even though it hidden at my dry kitchen at that time.

It reminds me that in life, you have to prepare for unexpected, whether you like it or not. Wouldn't that you think life is more challenging, when anything and everything will happens. No one will know except God. So, it is always to act cautiously when in doubt. Educate yourself with all the necessary knowledge. It may save life.

What animal you think will be the next poisonous animal in line? Just make a guess.

Thanks for your time and have a lovely week end.


James Oh

WATCH OUT ! IT MAY GUN YOU DOWN 1

Dear loving readers,

Last 2 weeks, we launched a series of amazing bridges all over the world. Today onwards, you'll be learned about the 10 most poisonous animals. Hope that you will enjoy reading them and be prepared or else you may be gunned down by these animals.

As we learn about these animals, we invite you to share some suggestions on the precautions we can take by leaving comments on each post.

1. Box Jellyfish





The top prize for The World Most Venomous Animal,would go to the Box Jellyfish. It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954. Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. Its toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. Worst of all the jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies.

You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jellys nematocysts that have not been discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing pant hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.

Box Jellyfish can be found in the waters around Asia and Australia.

Be vigilant and make sure that the water is clear of this box jellyfish before you jump into the sea.

Guess what is the next most poisonous animal?

Hope that this post won't scare you of from swimming in the sea water, but rather help to equip you with appropriate prevention measure.

ANSWER TO THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

Dear loving readers,

I am sure everyone is very excited with the answer to the million dollar question, which was raised at my preceding post. To refresh your memory, you are encourage to click at the title of this post, to view the previous post and its comments.

Below please find some of the ways, which I strongly believe you can wake the sleeping giant inside us to some extent..

To wake the giant within us? YOU MUST :-


1. TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOURSELF
You need to be transformed and take full control of yourself be it mental, emotional or physical. No matter how well you have already done or how much challenges you have overcome, deep inside you lies a belief that your experience can and will be much greater than it is.

2. ENTIRELY FREE
You must raise the standards and set yourself entirely free from any doubt, worry or fear you may have. This is supremely important for you to begin to acquire the enduring power to overcome anything and everything that blocks your way from attaining it. Nothing can hold you back. You must remove this fear, worry, bondage or anything which may affect you to lose that control.

3. FAITH
You have the faith that nothing can shake you or divert you from what you believe in. This belief must be rooted deeply inside your heart so that you have the power to overcome whatsoever challenges you will encounter at a later date. This will generate the superb power that will assist you to overcome anything - no matter what the situation you are in. You must be reminded that you are the captain of your mind and soul at all times and you will not surrender yourself to any situation or condition. In short, you will not be affected AT ALL by the external factors, even if you are caught unprepared. This is the driving force behind any great success throughout history.

4. POSITIVE WORDS, ACTION AND APPROACH
You are more inclined to using positive words and take appropriate action at any material times. Even there is any adversary at time, it shall be regarded as temporary and viewed it as a mean to shape you towards your destination, rather than failure. In that sense, whatsoever result appears, it meant for good. Then you will constantly define your goals and shape your dreams with an eye towards achieving the highest possible level of well-being, filling yourself with peace of mind. You will also be free to look forward with excitement to all the possibilities that life has to offer.

5. MOVING FORWARD
Moving forward constantly is your chosen path. You will not allow the past to hold you back and divert any of your attention and focus. To you, what is more important is to keep on moving forward towards your pre-set goal no matter what. You perpetually stay focus on your goal and will not allow circumstantial events to influence you in anyway. The drive would not permit you settle for less that you would be.

6. STAYING FOCUS
Because you are able to stay focus on your goal, you are always be in full control of yourself. In all circumstances, you are contented and satisfied with the result regardless whether it is positive or negative. To you, what is more important is your destiny, and not the journey.


7. THE MAGIC
You will personally experience the unlimited power that lies sleeping within you. That is the magic that makes thing favorable and achievable by you. You will continually create the new level of living you are enjoying. That magic power is an auto response from yourself.


The above are my answers to the question. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THE ABOVE ANSWERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGES SO AS TO REFLECT TO THE LATEST FINDINGS.

Trust the above is of great assistance to you. Please do share with your experiences, just like some of readers who did.

Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you again,

James Oh

A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

To my dearest readers and visitors,

I must admit that I was so exited to share with you about this powerful statement made by from William James, one of the most distinguished psychologist and philosopher America has ever produced:-


Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Broadly speaking, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

This statement is not strange in the sphere of science, which some of you may aware of. It is also in line with other beliefs that there is a sleeping giant inside everyone of us. For anyone who desire to achieve an extraordinarily result, he has to wake the sleeping giant within himself.

So, the million dollars question for the day is how to wake up this sleeping giant inside everyone of us?

Think about it deeply, I suggest that you forward your answers through comments so that everyone of us can work through it and I will provide mine through the following post of mine.

Look forward to hearing from you,

James Oh

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 8

Dear loving readers,

This will be my last post on bridge this year. However, you are always welcome to view it at any time convenient to you. Thanks for your support.

In this article, I am going to present you another amazing bridge, which is none other than:-

Hegigio Gorge Pipeline Bridge , Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea




This bridge supports two pipelines - one gas and the other oil - across the extremely deep gap in Papua New Guinea . If this were to be officially recognized as a vehicular or pedestrian bridge, then it would rocket to the top of the 'world's highest bridge-span' with the pipelines at an impressive height of 1,290 ft above the bottom of the gorge..... By comparison, the current highest bridge span belongs to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, hanging a mere 1,053 ft above ground level.

This bridge has created another spectacular records for the highest bridge in the world. No doubt, its purpose is very different from others. But, it is not wrong to be categorized it as  a bridge. It reminds us that nothing is impossible, so long you have the will and determination. So, why limit your boundary?

You should set your own record and stress yourself to the maximum so as to leave a good legacy - like the above bridge. In life, it is always good to begin with a big dream. Do all your best to move towards your pre-set goals. Prepare to pay a heavy price while you are in the process of achieving it, so that you wouldn't be caught by surprise.

Life is short, so dream Big. Whether you achieve it or not is a totally different issue. At least, you have tried it. You shall be rest assured that you will have the satisfaction. On the other hand, you may be condemned by the whole world. Have you not heard of Noah the Arch?

Give the above thought a serious consideration. Please do share with us should you have other interpretation. Thanks for your precious time and trust the above lesson is worth more than your time.

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 7

Dear loving readers,


Your support and encouragement drive me to present you another amazing bridge from France, which is :-


Pont Gustave Flaubert, Rouen, France







This incredible vertical lift bridge is in Rouen , France, whose spans weigh 1,200 tons each but can be hoisted 180 ft vertically in an impressive 12 minutes. The angular lift structures at the top of each tower weigh 450 tons each. The huge vertical lift allows even the largest cruise liners to sail through.


It sounds ridiculous and works well till today. It suggests that there is a will, there is a way. With the encouragement and determination, nothing can stop it from being done. So, next time when you face any barrier, never quit or bargain about it. But just do it at all costs and without any complaint. At the end of the day, you will be just like the above bridge - shining on its own glory.


Trust it will inspire you further and bridge you to the greatest height of success. You are the captain of your mind and soul.


Click at the title of the post should you desire to view the other amazing bridge of my previous post.


Thanks for your time and trust the benefits you receive is overwhelming your leisure time.


Have a lovely wonderful day,

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 6

Dear loving readers,


It is my utmost pleasure to present you another amazing bridge from Singapore, so promised.


Henderson Waves, Southern Ridges, Singapore









'Henderson Waves' is Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge and is at the 'Southern Ridges,' a beautiful 9 km (six miles) stretch of gardens and parks. The deck of the bridge is made from thousands of Balau wood slabs, perfectly cut and arranged, and along the length of the deck a snake like, undulating shell forms sheltered seating areas on every upward curve.




It is truly another masterpiece from its builders. The glory of this bridge remind us that to produce a master piece, a builder need to pay attention to each and every detail of its work. This requires far more than hard work, it is also need passion, diligence and endurance from its builder, so as to speak. Then only will its result be able to stand out.


Always remember that to deliver a masterpiece, one needs far more than hard work.You need to develop the passion toward the job you are undertaking and have the required patience and endurance to go through the paintaking process. There is no short cut in delivering such a remarkable result and this has been well proven in life.


To achieve such a greater success in today competitive world's market, the person needs to be different, not only be creative, but also have the courage to take bold step to do it in an extraordinarily way. Normally in the process lots of criticism and condemnation from others, will be received prior to its success. So, be prepared if you are making such a move.


Thanks for your precious time and trust that the above bridge leads you to a path of greater success.


To view precious amazing bridges, please click at the title of the post.


Visit us again and you will be able to view another amazing bridge of mankind.


Thanks and look forward to hearing from you. I am sure you may have other interpretation. Thank you in advance for your kind participation.


Have a nice week end,

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 5

Dear loving readers,


As promised in my previous post, I shall present you another amazing and unique bridge from China, none  other than Beipanjiang River Railroad Bridge.


Below is some facts about this bridge, which some of you may know of. For the sake of everyone, I just give a quick briefing about this bridge.


Beipanjiang River Railroad Bridge, Guizhou , China













Beipanjiang River Railroad Bridge in Guizhou is an enormous railway bridge that was built as part of the 'Guizhou-Shuibai Railway Project'. Connecting two mountains over a deep ravine, at its highest point the bridge's deck sits 918ft above the ground. Incidentally the bridge connects two of the country's poorest areas.




This bridge reveals to me the higher the price you pay for it, the higher the reward you will get. Similar principle applies to this bridge, it is standing 918 ft above the ground, definitely gives it a much better view and quality of air.


At the same time, it is much harder to build and relatively take much longer time to build compare to the normal bridge. So is life. If you expect a much higher return, it is more than often that you have to pay a higher price than others. So stay focus on the reward and it will be very much easier for you to endure through the hardship during the processing of arriving at your destination.


To view other amazing bridges of my earlier posting, please click at the title of this post.


Thanks for your time again. Please do offer other interpretation you may have on this bridge. Thank you in advance for your kind participation.


Look forward to hearing from you. Your continuous support is greatly appreciated.

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 4

Dear loving readers,


It is my pleasure to present you another amazing and unique bridge from UK.


Rolling Bridge, London , UK





Thomas Heatherwick's award-winning rolling bridge is an ingenious addition to the grand union canal system in London and is unique. Unlike regular movable canal bridges, the rolling bridge curls up to form an octagon by way of hydraulic jacks to let ships pass. It is twelve meters long and opens every Friday at noon.

Rather than a conventional opening bridge mechanism, consisting of a single rigid element that lifts to let boats pass, the Rolling Bridge gets out of the way by curling up until its two ends touch.

This bridge taught me to be flexible and mobile. To live long and strong, one has to be flexible and adaptable to any given situation. It is very true especially in today's competitive world, where everyone needs to be flexible and adaptable to the rapid changing marketing environment so as to survive in the market. Similarly, if the above rolling bridge does not have such flexibilities, it may not be able to keep its original design till to-date.


For those who wish to view other amazing bridge, which I have posted earlier, please click at the title of this post.


Thanks for your time again and hope to see you again for another amazing bridge.


Look forward to seeing you again and again,


James Oh

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 3

Dear loving readers,


This is another bridge I like to share with you and the value it has taught me. I do believe it may be good for you to learn from the lesson which I have learned.




Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge , Brasilia , Brazil

also known as JK Bridge, is located in Brasilia, linking the South Lake, and Sebastian Paranoa the central of the Pilot Plan, through the Monumental Axis, over Lake Paranoa.

Inaugurated on 15 Dec 2002, the structure of the bridge has a total length of passage of 1200 meters, 24 meters wide with two lanes, each with three tracks of the running, two walkways on the sides for use by cyclists and pedestrians with 15 meters width and length of spams of 720 meters.

The JK Bridge in Brasilia is a lesson in elegant bridge design. The three huge diagonal arches over the deck of the bridge give the structure an amazing visual fluidity (Yes! but was the designer slightly inebriated when he designed this structure?)..


It reveals to us that no matter what is hidden or unseen, it is not important. What is important is to stand elegantly and perform its original function to bring the people over to the other end.


Therefore, those who choose to shine should stay focus on his pre-set goals and carry out his functions as the bridge shown above. Never let the past divert our attention, but stay focus on our goals.


So, next time whenever you have any disruption, think of the bridge above and do the same as it does.

BRIDGE ... AMAZING AND UNIQUE 2

Dear loving readers,




The original Kintai Bridge was built in 1673 but collapsed due to flooding. The rebuilt bridge survived for more than 200 years until a typhoon destroyed it in 1950. The bridge that stands now over the Nishiki River has five wooden arches displaying an incredible amount of detail and craftmanship. Interesting fact: no nails or bolts have been used to build the arches, only clamps and wires.





To view the previous post on the Bridge 1, please click at the title of this post.


This bridge, though more than two centuries old, yet still stands proudly and strongly in its own unique magnificent glory. It reminds us of the strength to stay alive to live to its fullest.


May this bridge leads us to the path of happiness in life and live to its fullest - that we shall not  be lacking in  anything whatsoever situation we are in.


Thanks for your time and trust it inspire you.

Three touching stories in Mandarin version only

Dear loving readers,


故事一、小孩的心

有一位单身女子刚搬了家，她发现隔壁住了一户穷人家，一个寡妇与两个小孩子。

有天晚上，那一带忽然停了电，那位女子只好自己点起了蜡烛；没一会儿，忽然听到有人敲门，原来是隔壁邻居的小孩子，只见他紧张地问：「阿姨，请问你家有蜡烛吗？女子心想：「他们家竟穷到连蜡烛都没有吗？千万别借他们，免得
被他们依赖了！於是，对孩子吼说：「没有！」正当她准备关上门时，那穷小孩展开关爱的笑容说：「我就知道你家一定没有！」

说完，竟从怀里拿出两根蜡烛，说：「妈妈和我怕你一个人住又没有蜡烛，所以我带两根来送你。」这刻女子自责、感动得热泪盈眶，将那小孩子紧紧地拥在怀里。

故事二、发生在欧洲

有一个小镇很久没有下雨了，令当地农作物损失惨重，於是牧师把会众集合起来，准备在教堂里开一个祈求降雨的祷告会；会众中有一个小女孩， 因个子太小，几乎没有人看得到她，但她也来参加祈雨祷告会。

就在这时侯，牧师注意到小女孩所带来的东西，激动地在台上指著她说：「那位小妹妹很让我感动！」於是会众顺著他手指的方向看了过去，牧师接著说：「我们今天来祷告祈求上帝降雨，可是整个会堂中，只有她一个人今天带著雨伞！」会众仔细一看，果然，她的座位旁挂了一把红色的小雨伞；这时大家沉静了一下，紧接而来的，是一阵掌声与泪水交织的美景。有时我们不得不说：小孩子其实一点都不小」，他(她)们其实很「大」！他 (她)们的爱心很大！他;(她)们的信心很大！

故事三、我们只不方便三小时

那天跟老公幸运地订到了票回婆家，上车後却发现有位女士坐在我们的位子上，老公示意我先坐在她旁边的位子，却没有请这位女士让位。我仔细一看，发现她右脚有一点不方便，才了解老公为何不请她让出位子。他就这样从嘉义一直站到台
北，从头到尾都没向这位女士表示这个位子是他的下了车之後，心疼老公的我跟他说：「让位是善行，但从嘉义到台北这堋久，大可中途请她把位子还给你，换你坐一下。

老公却说：「人家不方便一辈子，我们就不方便这三小时而已。」听到老公这堋说，我相当感动，有这堋一位善良又为善不欲人知的好老公，让我觉得世界都变得温柔许多。心念一转，世界可能从此不同，人生中，每一件事情，都有转向的能力，就看我们怎么想，怎么转。我们不会在三分钟内成功，但也许只要花一分钟，生命从此不同。你看完这篇短文後，可以马上起身去擦桌子，或洗碗；可以把报纸放一边，闭起眼睛沉思一会；也可以把这篇短文，转寄给很多朋友。


当然，我最希望你选择最後这一项，谁知道，你可能会改变很多人的一生。

们不一定会因为赚很多的钱而富有，但我们可以因付出的善念而使心中富有

BRIDGE...AMAZING AND UNIQUE 1

Dear loving readers,

This beautiful arched bridge in Lake Austin was built by Miro Rivera Architects and is used to connect the client's main house to the smaller guest house on the other side of the pond. To make the bridge seem as natural as possible within its surroundings, they made the decking and reed-like hand rails imperfect but still structurally sound.





The above photos are not only pleasing to our eyes, but this remarkable result delivered by its builders also demonstrate well the power of our human mindset and determination. So, stress your potential to its fullest, so as to leave behind a remarkable legacy, like the above bridge.

Though it is not easy, but not impossible. It inspired me to work toward my goal and hope the same to you.

Regardless of your current status of your project, be it a failure or WIP., always remember that the bridge is able to lead you to the path of success.

Trust you are inspires as I was. Thanks for taking your precious time to read this post.

SHORT VERSION OF NAPOLEON HILL "THINK AND GROW RICH"

Dear loving readers,

No doubt some of you may have read about the book by Napoleon Hill, " Think and Grow Rich" and some of you may not have the time to read it. Whatever it is, I believe that the short version of it is definitely of great use to all of us. As such, I post this short version for your quick reference and action.

You may click at the title to read the brief of this book from my previous post on some of my recommended books.

By Norman Harlett on Napoleon Hill ‘Think and Grow Rich’

1. Are You "Built To Last"?

Getting from where we are to; where we want to be...
What's the best way to get from where we are to where we want to be?

We know from Napoleon's advice that if we are clear of what we want, fuel it with desire, sprinkle it with faith and use the power of our subconscious mind, what we can achieve is unlimited.

ALWAYS preserve the core, AND THEN stimulate progress.

What he meant is that you need to understand and maintain what has resulted in your current level of success, then build upon with new and innovative things to the core.

To me, this simple theory was a good reminder.

What I tend to do is create a wave of success and then try something different, thinking what I can achieve is even greater level of the success... rather than...

Maintaining the efforts to build the first wave of success and adding to that success by trying something different.

Do you see the difference?
It's a matter of where you spend your energy.

What you want to do is allocate enough energy to keep your proven method of success rolling and then allocate a small share of energy to new success processes to your core success.

If you do this, you'll keep your success momentum going. You'll not only minimize times of doubt and fear, but maximize your creative juices. Simply put, you'll be spending more time in the "success zone".

2. Do This ONE THING And Your Future Riches Are Secure...

He meant that commanding the power of your own mind through autosuggestion (putting yourself in a relaxed state and submitting your goals to your subconscious mind).

Now, he says a lot more in the book... the importance of Faith, Desire, etc, so that you stay on track and you continue to do the things (autosuggestion as the main one) that will lead to Riches.

Simple? Yes.
Easy? No.

Why not easy? Because we require habit and training our minds is not a habit... yet.

Life is a chain and there's no disconnecting it. Everything you do is to be connected. Combine this with your belief that the first thing you need to do to be successful is to feel good about yourself.

3. Take Your Best Shot! (I'll still reach my goals!)

Chance has a way of throwing things in the path of your success!

You do all the planning to get from point "A" to point "B"... and it seems SO-O-O-O simple. Then something happens.

You, or someone close to you has an unexpected accident or illness.

A law is passed that changes the opportunities in the industry you're in.
Etc. Etc.
I'm not belittling any of these occurrences and saying that they are not important and not worthy of excusing some forward progress toward your goals.

I AM saying that whatever the circumstance you are in, you can adjust, make the best of it and continue, with albeit, smaller steps for a time, toward your goals.

4. Use What God Gave You!

"Use what God gave you!"
... meaning that if I thought about it long enough, I'd figure it out... and I usually did!

Napoleon is saying:
* You have the tool to make things happen for yourself (via the subconscious mind)
* You can direct your subconscious mind to achieve anything you want (via programming by Auto Suggestion)
* The more energy (Faith, Desire, etc.) you put behind a thought, the more your subconscious mind will work on it for you.
* The subconscious mind is your connection to the higher power (prayer, autosuggestion... any means of slipping into the alpha brain-wave state will connect you with the power of the Infinite Intelligence)

5. Bridging Faith Into Action

It means that no matter what the idea or goal, the achievement of that idea or goal can only become reality if you put energy behind the idea and take action.

I go through this little analysis because many of you write me about ideas and goals and dreams that you have and are frustrated that your goals/ideas/dreams remain illusive.

Even more than illusive... far, far away.
I always inquire where you are in your journey/plan to achieve your goal.
The answers vary, but most respond with the fact that on the way to the goal, something got in the way (work, kids, money, whatever) and now the plan is stalled.
The dream is stalled. The dream is fading.
When I see this happening to me, here's what I do... actually, more precisely, here's how I THINK.
I consider each roadblock... each stall... a new beginning... and I treat is as such.
The overall original "journey" hit a roadblock, so now I have a new mini-journey... the journey of getting through this roadblock so that I can continue the overall journey.
And thinking like this WORKS!
For example, I needed money to develop the first product.
Everything I was earning was supporting my lifestyle and I had no extra. (Did this ever happen to you?).
So, I had a new mini-journey. Find the money to product my first product.
Over the next several months, I got on the phone and made literally hundreds of calls to Sales coaches, Sales firms, etc., looking for a partner that would embrace my idea.
On about my 400th phone call, I got the ear of someone who believed in my idea and Bingo!, Subconscious Training Corporation was born.
After a few more mini-journeys (roadblocks) were travelled, and about 15 months of time, I went full time into my new venture and haven't looked back since.
What I did is not magic.
It's the application of the understanding that...
"Every journey starts with the first step."
and every hurdle is just a mini-journey to take another step into.


6. Stay Positive, When Negativity Invites You In!

According to Napoleon Hill, the power of the subconscious mind is an amazing thing.
In the chapter on "The Subconscious Mind", Napoleon writes:

"There is plenty of supporting evidence to support the belief that the subconscious mind is the connecting link between the finite mind of man and the Infinite Intelligence. It is the intermediary through which one may draw upon the forced of the Infinite Intelligence at will."

He goes on to say:

"It, alone, contains the secret process by which mental impulses are modified and changed into their spiritual equivalent. It, alone, is the medium through which prayer may be transmitted to the source capable of answering prayer."

He's saying that not only can you submit information to the subconscious mind (via auto-suggestion) so that you "become" the person you want to be and to create your outcomes, but it's is also the vehicle through which we communicate with the higher consciousness (higher power, God!)

To deliver positive messages to the subconscious mind (so that our mind will then make "positiveness" true for us), you must put positive emotion behind your thinking. The seven major positive emotions are:
Desire
Faith
Love
Sex
Enthusiasm
Romance
Hope

And at the same time, you must be careful not to spend a lot of your emotion on the seven major negative emotions:
Fear
Jealousy
Hatred
Revenge
Greed
Superstition
Anger
Because... "Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time."

7. Developing a Long Term Success Plan for Your Master Mind

As individuals, we cannot achieve this on our own because our myopic view can cloud our perspective. As a group, the possibilities for expansive thinking are endless.
Develop or join a group that suited your needs.

1. Focus on developing trust
2. Establish momentum
3. Have the commitment from your members
4. Seeking feedback from group members keeps the group productive. This is achieved by asking each person to reflect on what worked and what didn't in the meeting, and how the group can improve the next meeting. It keeps the group focused and on track.
5. Establish the group's protocol before the group is formed.
6. Take charge and be choosy about who you select as members in the starting group. It's better to start off small, and build the group than to go for volume without substance.
7. Know how to fire a group member if things aren't working out. Decide how you will eliminate group members before you form the group. If you wait until the group is up and running, and a problem exists, it will be too late to backtrack.
