Napoleon Hill

Need something positive to read about today?

Then read about the life of Napoleon Hill, a man who was born in poverty. His life changed after he interviewed industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1908. Carnegie at that time was one of the most powerful men in the world and he provided Hill letters of reference to interview over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish their formula for success.

The 20 years research resulted in the book, Philosophy of Achievement and in 1937, its distilled version "Think and Grow Rich" was published. That was his most famous and best-selling book of all time.

Here is a video of Napoleon Hill where he talked about his meeting with Andrew Carnegie.

Restaurant Makeover? A wide-open secret.

You are very lucky if you have a restaurant that is not doing well in Canada. Why? You have an award winning team of chefs and designers to help you do a "Restaurant Makeover".

"Restaurant Makeover" is a television series which airs on Food Network Canada and HGTV Canada. The producer of this programme will match funds restaurant owners can provide, by up to $15,000, to transform their struggling restaurants into a winner. Restaurants involved get free publicity when the makeover processes are aired on its TV network and on channels in over 16 countries worldwide. And if you take the time to watch the series, you will notice that each show always ends with a good critic about the food and ambiance of the outlet aired.

So, when the going gets tough, the tough works on the law of rhythm and think only of good times to come; take the challenge and do a makeover.

If you are in the restaurant business that needs some tweaking, check out the designer work carried out on restaurants and the refined recipes created that brought them back to life.

You can find links to some of these restaurant on Wikipedia.

Accelerated Learning

I heard about "accelerated learning" from my friend and was curious about it as I have two school going children. I was thinking that if it is useful, I am going to introduce them to it. So, I did a search and came across an article, "The Secret To Improving Your Technique" posted on About.com: Swimming.

The idea about "accelerated learning", to improve what you would like to pick up, is to watch how the experts or others are doing it correctly. Then imagine yourself doing all those right moves. Close your eyes and visualize these movements at least five minutes a day. Keep at it and one day you will realize that you have perfected the skills.

I did not know that I have practiced "accelerated learning" when I was younger. I used to work in a hotel during the '80s. Regular male guests used to invite a group of my front desk colleagues to discos and sometimes I tagged along on their invitation.

I was from a small town and a very shy person then. I would just sit around watching as the rest do the moves. But while sitting there watching, I imagined that I will do one better the next time I am invited and when I do, everyone will be watching me instead. After a few months of watching and imagining, one day (I mean night), it just clicked. I stood up and did it. And yes, I got everyone watching, amazed, while I danced to the beat.

So, images that you hold in your mind most do materialize in life according to "The Law of Perpetual Transmutation". So, visualize your way to success.

Need affirmation? Go to Cafe Gratitude.

A hungry man is an angry man and taking a good meal may help lighten up your spirit some.

However, if you have started your morning badly and would like to be positively recharged, you may want to consider taking that meal at a place like Cafe Gratitude, if you are in San Francisco.

With drinks named like "I am renewed" or "I am rejuvenated" and dishes that clearly affirmed that you are living in abundance, reading their menu should be a good start for a "pick me up". Then to be served and affirmed by the waiter that you are what you have requested, as he serves you each dish, labeled with your name...

Did I mentioned that they serve only healthy, organic vegetarian dishes?

Talk about The Law of Vibration and Attraction; if you are down and need something pleasant to think of to give you good feelings, Cafe Gratitude has all the right words for you.

Go towards the Northlight.

The NorthLight School in Singapore uses the acronym "STAR" to represent their students to remind them that they are "Special, with Talents, Aspiration and Resilience". These are children with low self esteem as they have repeatedly failed their PSLE (Primary 6 or Grade 6 education in USA). They are also low in social emotional competencies and many lack strong home support.

The school’s Principal, Ms Chua Yen Ching, tailors its programme to forge a living and learning community. It is conducted in smaller groups so that relationship is given lots of attention. It's mission is to provide education with values and career-oriented. That it should be engaging and relevant for these children to promote lifelong learning and enhance their employability.

The "SHINE" core values the school has adopted are:

Sincerity
Honesty
Innovation
Network
Excellence

Parents of the students are encouraged to "SMILE" for their children and that is to

Support
Make time
Interact
Love & Praise
Encourage

While the teachers "SERVE" with

Sincerity
Exemplary conduct
Real in their relations
Valiant efforts
Engaging thoughts

The efforts of Northlight School have attracted communal support. A doctor from a clinic near the school has been providing free medical consultation to pupils who are in financial need. A manager of an in-line skating school is coaching students of the school at cost because he could relate to them being a late bloomer himself.

As I read about the school, I am reminded of one of the natural law of the universe that one will go through and, that is, "The Law of Rhythm". As night follows day, there will always be good times and bad times. Just know that good times will come and think of them.

Seeking changes? First, make a difference.

Are you stuck in a relationship where you are wondering when the other will change for the better? Then find time to watch this movie.



My current favourite is "Make A Difference Movie - The Teddy Stallard Story". This is one of the free movies created by Mary Robinson Reynolds. I have watched all her movies and have been touched, inspired and enlightened by them. I guess she is able to put emotions into each slide because as she puts it, "I'm real and I've been there too!"

And when you find that you are not able to make a difference on your own, try “masterminding,” with your buddy. Mary defines it as people getting together and believing for each other. The idea is to manifest differently by thinking differently. She said that you do not have to beg, argue or reason with anyone or anything—simply choose what you intend and let the law of attraction brings it to you.

Mary started her business by masterminding herself out of the problems she was facing. What difference do you want o make in your life? Make it your new year's resolution.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Nothing is good or bad.

Alfredo Santos was expelled from school at 10th grade for punching a teacher. He landed in San Quentin prison at age 24 for selling heroin. In order to qualify for parole, an inmate had to work, so he entered the dining hall contest that led him to paint a 12 feet tall and nearly 100 feet long mural. The prison is now a museum and many are captivated by the unexpected epic mural within its wall.

At age 81, Alfredo Santos' work is still sought after. Go to his gallery to see if you have any of his unique work of art as he paints and create sculpture out of wood or found objects. Anyone would think that life in prison would have been a very bad experience for him. But that was where he decided that he wanted to become an artist.

The next time you have a problem or a bad experience, may be the time you would like to reflect on what you can do to make your life better instead of wallowing in self pity.

Just think about it. Will you be what you are today if not for the experiences that you have been through?

What can you get before paying?

While other companies are slashing prices to kill their competitors, what are Jake Nickell and Jacob Dehart at Threadless doing in their design and T-shirt business to stay afloat?

4) Buy Threadless tee and submit a photo of yourself wearing it to win 10 points=USD15=1 Tee if your photo is picked.

They pick high scoring designs every week from the archives to print, so, there is no stopping you from submitting your ideas whenever you are so inspired.

Not artistically inclined or words savvy? Then be a member to their newsletters and be amused by entries of the artful hopeful.

There is also a chance for you to earn 2 StreetTeam points when you link Threadless to any of your blogs and refer a sale.

Want me to be your customer? Make me feel that I am getting more than what I have paid for. Better yet. What can I get from you before I make any purchase?



I am not Threadless' customer yet but I love the opportunities they offer and do enjoy being amused by the entries posted.

Nothing is small till compared.

Have you ever had an idea that died because you shared it with the wrong person or maybe at the wrong time? Have you ever look at a business and think why didn't you think of starting it yourself in the first place?

No idea is too small to work on or too big for you to consider starting until you start making comparisons. Garett Croft Stenson was broke until he started selling wallets he crafted out of duct tapes as a hobby. Small home business venture you think? His work is sold in stalls and at art shows nationwide. With a loan from SBA and some helpers, he is now selling his product globally and on his website. Just take a look at the publicity he has received for his duct tape wallet business.

Looking at it now, you would think that it is too big a venture for someone who was broke to start on. Likely, when he was broke and feeling low, he have compared himself with someone worst off to make himself bigger to have such an aspiration.

Giving more than sun light in the dark.

Light at a touch of a button, is something unheard of at a refugee camp in Fugnido, western Ethiopia until Mark Bent came into the picture. Through his visits to volatile countries, rural villages and his research, he realized that many people have nothing to light their homes, schools and clinics at night. This led him to invest USD250,000 to develop and manufacture a solar powered flashlight that gives up to seven hours of light.


While we think of light only as a mean to enable us to see in the dark, for these refugees, the light provides security for the women against sexual abuse and violence and scares wild animals away. It helped to lead the way in the darkness during emergencies and frightened would be thief away. Most importantly, these refugees do not have to rely on wood, charcoal, candles and kerosene for lighting when they study. These traditional fuels when used for lighting in their small homes are health hazardous as many of their children suffer from upper respiratory problems.

While Mark Bent is able to donate his solar powered flashlight to UN refugee camps with the support of Exxon Mobil, you can do your part too by buying from his company SunNight Solar as he has a “Buy One, Give One” programme running on his website.

You pay USD25.00 for one flashlight and he will ship the second unit to Africa and donate USD1 to one of the aid groups he works with.

Mark held images of people living in darkness in his mind and attracted light in his business. Do you want to be as successful as Mark Bent? Think about what it is in this world that is bothering you and figure out how you can make it better. What would you like to attract in your life?

Success Open Secret? Your SOS option!

Have you noticed that success is an open secret? People who are successful in what they do tend to share their secrets to success.

I came to realise this after watching the movie "The Secret" by Ronda Byrne and decided to take up the SGR Program offered by Bob Proctor. After listening to the contents on the MP3 Player they supplied, I began to sense things differently.

If you are someone seeking "SOS" leads in your life or business, learn to discover success open secret of people who have made it. They may be people who have succeeded without realising that they have applied the right principles of attraction in their life. Let their experiences bring out the best in you and attract others to share their abundance with you.

I am working on sharing "Success Open Secret" based on what I have picked up from the SGR Program. Let them be your "SOS" leads in your search for your abundance.
