A boy who inspired a Nation!
3 August 2009Welcome back!
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® traces its beginning to one boy’s wish. In 1980, 7-year-old

Chris Greicius
was being treated for leukemia. Every day, he dreamed of becoming a police officer.
U.S. Customs Officer Tommy Austin had befriended Chris and his mother, Linda Bergendahl-Pauling. He also promised Chris a ride in a police helicopter. When Chris’ health worsened, Austin contacted Ron Cox, an Arizona Department of Public Safety officer, and planned a day that would lift Chris’ spirits.
On April 29, 1980, Austin and a caring group of DPS personnel started Chris’ day with a tour of the city in a department helicopter, which also flew him to headquarters. Three cruisers and a motorcycle officer greeted him before his meeting with the DPS command staff. There, Chris was sworn in as the first honorary DPS patrolman in state history.
But his experience didn’t stop there. Cox contacted John’s Uniforms, which agreed to make a custom-tailored DPS uniform for Chris. The store owner and two seamstresses worked through the night to finish it. The officers presented the official uniform to Chris on May 1 and arranged a motorcycle proficiency test so he could earn wings to pin on his uniform. Needless to say, Chris passed the test with flying colors on his battery-operated motorcycle.
On May 2, Chris was back in the hospital. He asked to arrange the room so he could always see his uniform, his motorcycle helmet and his “Smokey Bear”-style campaign hat. DPS motor officer Frank Shankwitz presented Chris with his motorcycle wings. He accepted them with a smile that lit up the room.
The following day, Chris passed away, but not before seeing his dream come true and experiencing the hope, strength and joy that came from receiving his wish.
Chris was to be buried in Kewanee, Ill. DPS spokesman Allan Schmidt promised that two Arizona officers would make the trip to Illinois to say goodbye to Chris. Scott Stahl, a DPS officer and Joliet, Ill., native, joined Frank Shankwitz on the poignant mission.
They saw how happy Chris was knowing his wish came true, and that the wish seemed to take some of Chris and Linda’s pain away – replacing the anguish with smiles and laughter. They thought that if one boy’s wish could create such happiness, maybe they could do the same for other children. They presented the plan to the people who helped grant Chris’ wish. Linda and others endorsed the plan. Thus, the Chris Greicius Make-A-Wish Memorial – which later became known as the Make-A-Wish Foundation – the largest wish-granting organization in the world.
What started out as making one child’s dream come true; today, Make-A-Wish had granted over 181 thousands wishes.

How to create and nurture a great support system?
31 July 2009

Support System
The road to success has a lot of speed bumps. There will be hard times. There will be times when the risks you take fail. There will be times when the outside world doesn’t believe in you, or tries to hurt you. These are the times when you need someplace safe to come home to.
Your support system is that safe haven.
The key to creating and nurturing a good support system is having good communication skills, and developing good communication skills starts at home. It’s easy to fall into the trap of taking our families for granted. After a hard day we come home tired and just want to relax. We forget to pass on the common courtesies to our family that we’d give to a complete stranger—things like saying “please,” “thank you,” and “how was your day?” You can’t let this happen! The foundation for good communication skills starts at home and it starts with the little things. Treat your family right. That means, be polite and treat your family the way you want to be treated. Think beyond yourself and do what’s best for the family, not necessarily what’s best for you personally at that moment. Work at building your support system at home so you can fall back on it during rough times.
Always remember if you want to be heard, listen.
It’s a common misconception that having good communication skills means being able to speak well. Wrong! Listening is much more important. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Whether it’s your spouse, a friend, coworker, client, or competitor, you need to seek to understand before being understood. There are two reasons for this. First of all, people want to be understood. Once they feel you understand them, they will let their guard down and listen to you. Secondly, by listening and understanding you will have a better grasp of how to communicate what you have to say effectively.
In a way, all interactions with people are like negotiations; it’s not a time for you to preach, but rather a time for you to open up a two-way street, to create a dialogue. If you can listen, you can understand, and when you understand the other person, your job is then to communicate clearly what you have to say.
You can create and nurture a great support system by, treating everyone the way you wish to be treated and communicating effectively by find that healthy common ground where everyone can benefits the most.

A honest kid who was given an Empire.
29 July 2009

An Empire.
A seed of honesty.
Once there was an emperor in the Far East who was growing old and knew it was coming time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or one of his own children, he decided to do something different.
He called all the young people in the Empire together one day. He said, “It has come time for me to step down and to choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you.” The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. “I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One seed. It is a very special seed. I want you to go home, plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring to me, and the one I choose will be the next emperor of the kingdom!”
There was one boy named Ling who was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his mother the whole story. She helped him get a pot and some planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.
After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept going home and checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by. Still nothing.
By now others were talking about their plants but Ling didn’t have a plant, and he felt like a failure. Six months went by, still nothing in Ling’s pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn’t say anything to his friends, however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.
A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn’t going to take an empty pot. But she encouraged him to go, and to take his pot, and to be honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to the palace.
When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by all the other youths. They were beautiful, in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, “Hey nice try.”
When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. “My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown,” said the emperor. “Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!”
All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. “The emperor knows I’m a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!”
When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. “My name is Ling,” he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, “Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!” Ling couldn’t believe it. Ling couldn’t even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?
Then the emperor said, “One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grown, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!”

Let’s talk about Money.
28 July 2009Why don’t we talk about money?

Let's talk about Money
When women get together, we talk about everything: The good, the bad, the ugly about our lives with our mate, family and work. We talk about love, we even talk about sex!
How about Money? Why don’t we talk about money?
When a girlfriend gets a new job, we will ask questions like, “What will you be doing? Where will you be working? Etc.. Usually we don’t ask, “How much money will you be making? When one of us announced she got a big bonus. We congratulate her, we celebrate (spend it) with her. We don’t talk about ideas for opportunity for financial growth, what she should do with that money.
Every one of us secretly does what it takes to get money, we think about how we can get more money. But we want to act like we don’t think about money. Somehow, we got the idea of desiring money is greedy. Hustling for it is unladylike. Talking about it is not classy.
Everyone agreed that we need money to survive, much like we need water and air to survive. No one ever felt uncomfortable talking about water and air, as they do talking about money. Nobody calls you greedy if you wish for a lot of water or air, but you might be called greedy if you wish for more money. Why the contradiction?
We must come to terms with our feeling toward money. We must education ourselves about money. We women empower each other by master minding, sharing stories between one another and sharing wisdom about life. We console, we support and we talk things out…in order to help each other to move ahead. We must do the same when it comes to money, we need to talk about it, learn from each other, master mind around it.
Money is not a dirty word. It should no longer be taboo. It is Ok for a woman to be ambition with money. In order for us to do more good personally or globally, we need MONEY.
Educate yourself, by learning. There are many news paper, magazine, books and conferences for women to learn about money. We can look for mentor, someone who is financially sound; go and ask them for advice. Get professionals help, ask your CPA questions. Ask your financial adviser questions; get an understanding of all aspect of money.
Plan for your money, have a goal. What do you want to do or buy if you have money? How much money do you need? Make a plan to get yourself to that dollar figure; a saving plan, a budget plan, an investment plan etc..
Test your plan; set yourself up for success by allowing yourself to grow into your plan. Take baby steps; if your plan is to save $300 a month. Try saving $100 the first month. If your plan is to invest in stock, try smaller amount in your investment for your first few transactions until you got the hang on it.
Keep your eyes and ears open, always be learning and be flexible to the changing market. Money in the market place move fast, they change quickly. Be aware of what your money is doing or not doing. Be flexible for new opportunities that come up or move away from investment that no longer serve you.
Talk about Money, which is a great way to stay aware. Speak with your mentor, others who are successful, people with money. What are they doing with their money? What is working now? What is not working? What is new? Take all of those conversation back to your Money TEAM; your CPA, your accountant, your financial advisor etc..Speak with those who are managing your money regularly.

What does it mean to be your own boss?
27 July 2009
Business owner
At a coffee shop I overheard a conversations of two friends at the next table, they were talking about being their own boss and starting their own business. The two of them were planning what tasks each of them will be responsible for and a long list of remaining important tasks that they are going to hire help for.
That conversation just reminded me of the first year of my business. I initially had an outside contractor I sub-contracted as a technician. It wasn’t profitable to have an outside consultant, however, so I offered to hire the contractor as an employee. He liked being his own boss, though, and declined, and I totally understand that. I told him I couldn’t afford to keep paying him as a consultant, so we came up with a deal where I would pay him to train an employee of mine to become my in-house technician. Up front, both of us were very happy with the arrangement, and so he started training my employee.
Well, one Saturday my technician called me and said he needed me to come into the office. He wouldn’t say why over the phone so I rushed to the office and wouldn’t you know it, he turned in his office keys. He was quitting because my sub-contractor had offered him a job where he would get paid more! The sub-contractor I had been paying to train my employee stole away that very same employee. I had paid for all of this employee’s training and ended up getting absolutely nothing out of it. I won’t go into how unethical this was on the part of my subcontractor, because that’s an entirely different topic, but the point of the story is that I was left high and dry. I now had no in-house technician and my company was totally crippled.
I realized then that I couldn’t rely on someone else to be responsible for any facet of my business. I had learned my initial work ethic from my parents, and from them I knew to do the best I could and work hard. That wasn’t enough for owning a business, though. I realized I had put all my eggs in one basket with my technician. I had worked with the misconception that I could just hire people to do the things I didn’t know how to do. Wrong, wrong, wrong! From that point on, I made it my responsibility to learn about every aspect of my business. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we should do everything ourselves and avoid delegating work—those are both vital steps to running a good business—but rather, what I’m saying is that ultimately you are responsible for your own success, whether it’s a business, a non-profit organization, a club, a craft, or a relationship.
From that point on after my employee left, I learned how to do all of the networking work technicians had done for my company so that if my new technician got sick or quit, I could do the work myself. I made it my business to know everything about my business so I could do anyone else’s job if it came down to it. That’s what it means to pay your dues. There’s no other way to learn how to do something until you do it yourself.
Being your own boss, means you get the biggest pay out but it also meant that you pay the most with your time and weather more risk.

The future belongs to those who welcome change.
26 July 2009
When you are through changing, you are through.
~Bruce Barton

New Growth
Are you uncomfortable with change? Changes create the rhythm in our life. Without changes our lives would be very flat and uneventful. Yes, sometimes change can be stressful, and our initial reaction might be, “Changes are bad!” But if you look closely, changes are opportunities under cover. Just think what would happen if we didn’t change in the last 100 years.
What was the world like 100 years ago?
The average life expectancy in the United States was forty-seven.
Only 14 percent of the homes in the United States had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
There were only 8,000 cars in the US and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was ten mph.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower.
The average wage in the U.S. was twenty-two cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2500 per year, a veterinarian between $1500 and $4000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births in the United States took place at home.
Most women only washed their hair once a month and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason, either as travelers or immigrants.
The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska hadn’t been admitted to the Union yet.
Drive-by-shootings, in which teenage boys galloped down the street on horses and started randomly shooting at houses, carriages, or anything else that caught their fancy, were an ongoing problem in Denver and other cities in the West.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada was thirty. The remote desert community was inhabited by only a handful of ranchers and their families.
Plutonium, insulin, and antibiotics hadn’t been discovered yet. Scotch tape, crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn’t been invented.
There was no Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
One in ten U.S. adults couldn’t read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Coca-Cola contained cocaine instead of caffeine.
Punch card data processing had recently been developed, and early predecessors of the modern computer were used for the first time by the government to help compile the 1900 census.
There is no growth without change. Evolution can’t be stop, we must change with the time.
Let go of the past and move forward. The future belongs to those who welcome change.

Find your purpose within your passion?
24 July 2009

Finding your purpose.
Once you know your passion, you must determine your purpose. There are a lucky few people out there who know their passion, happen to be naturally great at it, and also have a clear path for working in their area of passion and making a living. For those people, the first part is done. Their path is clear—all they need to do now is go for it, take action, and work hard to put in their dues. More likely, however, you might find that your area of passion is something you’re not great at. That’s okay.
When I was a little girl, I was always fascinated with the idea of having animals, especially a horse. Living in an apartment in Hong Kong, we couldn’t even have a pet cat, so having a horse was a dream that was never fulfilled for me while I was a child. But that passion to have horses and to be able to ride them stayed with me as I grew up, and eventually I decided to start riding horses. It was wonderful, and I still ride horses to this day. It is a passion of mine. It’s not realistic for me to make a living as a professional horse rider, though. I’m too small to be a rodeo-rider, too big to be a racing jockey, and not advanced enough a rider to compete in show jumping. And even if I had the physical attributes, I started way too late for any of that. If I wanted to work and make a living in this area of passion, I would have to find a different purpose. I could maybe work as an importer, I could become a breeder, or maybe start my own line of products like saddles, tack, or riding gear… there are an almost endless amount of possibilities where my abilities overlap with my passion. This is what I would have to find if I wanted to work with horses.
As it turns out, I have a greater passion, a passion to help others find success in their lives, and that is where I devote most of my time and energy, as an inspirational speaker and success coach. Horse riding is still a passion of mine, but I’ve chosen for it to be a hobby, something I can do for fun and not be the main thrust of my life. You may very well find yourself in a similar situation. Maybe you have multiple passions. If so, great. You have more options open to you. Regardless of whether you have one passion or a ten passions, though, you must find your purpose, the area where your passion and life can overlap. You need to find the right crossroads.
If you love movies, but can’t act, maybe you can write, or direct, or produce, or make costumes, or sets. If you love sports, but aren’t big enough or fast enough, maybe you can coach, or be a trainer, a referee. If you love music, but can’t sing, maybe you can be a songwriter, or a producer, or promoter for live music, or a music teacher. There are so many ways you can be part of your passion, and when you determine that, you have determined your purpose.
Find your purpose within your passion and you will live with passion!

Attitude is a choice, you get to choose!
23 July 2009

Attitude
Jerry is the kind of guy some people love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.
The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested. “Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.”
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?” I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.”
“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “…the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘he’s a dead man.’
I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything.’Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

Remember Jerry when you make your choices. You can choose to live or not. A good Attitude is going to get you through life.

How is your work ethic?
21 July 2009

Bee collecting pollen
How is your work habits? Answer the following questions:
Are you on time with your work?
Do you deliver what was expected of you and beyond?
Do you give excuses for your short coming?
Do you stay focus on your goals?
Are you always looking for ways to do better?
Here are 5 very basic, very concrete things that anyone can do to create better work habits.
Show up on time!
No matter what you’re doing, but especially with your work and career, show up on time! As an employer, I can tell you that punctuality is the first indicator I notice in determining whether someone has good work ethic or not. Even better than just showing up on time, show up early. If you do that, you will find that you have time to situate and prepare yourself before jumping into the work, and you’ll now have the right frame of mind and be able to work more effectively and efficiently.
Go the extra mile!
Never sacrifice quality in your work. Whatever product or service you deliver, make sure it is top quality. Don’t risk having your name being tainted for delivering bad work or being irresponsible. Take pride in your work. When you provide a product or service, you put your name on it. So do work that makes you proud, even if it means putting in longer hours or taking extra steps.
Be responsible for your work and don’t make excuses!
Take responsibility for the work you do. If something is going to be done right, know that it’s your responsibility to make it happen. If something goes wrong, admit it. Don’t make excuses. Admit the problem, take responsibility for it, and make whatever adjustment is necessary to fix the problem. People respect you more when you’re responsible, admit your mistakes, and try your best to fix them.
Keep your eye on your end goals!
There will be many times when things are not coming along as quickly as you would like. There will be many times when you don’t get rewarded for your hard work. That’s why it’s important to remember your end goals. You’re not in this for instant gratification, you’re in it for long term success and happiness, so keep your eye on the end goals and when you find yourself tempted to slack off, work even harder. You might be the only person in the office staying late, or the only one of your friends working on Saturday, but you’ll know you’re improving yourself and moving towards your dreams.
Keep your eyes open!
Don’t work with blinders on. Keep your eyes open for any place you can deliver more value, for any new opportunities to grow and expand and get better. And when you see those opportunities, don’t be afraid to act. Taking risks is scary, but if you get into the habit of jumping at opportunity it’ll become second nature and you’ll gain more experience and get much better at risk taking, all at the same time.
