Wise and meaningful! Don't be a slave for life.

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Look carefully at the B-17 and note how shot up it is - one engine dead, tail, horizontal stabilizer and nose shot up.. It was ready to fall out of the sky. (This is a painting done by an artist from the description of both pilots many years later.) Then realize that there is a German ME-109 fighter flying next to it.. Now read the story below. I think you'll be surprised.....

In September 2009, I attended GIFTS films on Galiano Island. I had a great learning experience taking the Media intensive course, and produced this video with 2 other producers.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes.
It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

The story of the eagle...

The eagle has the longest life-span amongst Birds.

The beginning of this year I decided to go on a retreat in Florida offered by Minh Pham a self-help guru, who is one of the authors with Deepak Chopra on the book "Stepping Stones to Success".

Recently I came across Mastery of Self by Frank Channing Hadock 1853-1915

Upon closer investigation, this book is part of the "New Thought" movement, of which "the Secret" Law of Attract book/movie are based on.

I don't agree with "the Secret"'s Law of Attraction as it is currently understood:

Last month in October, I had the good luck of getting involved with a workshop on walking with poise and confidence.

I learned a lot from Taaja in 2 hours, about how our walk, and posture can have a major impact on making a good first impression. I became aware of different eye contacts, how to enter a room with confidence.

When I was around 12 years old, I started to lose my far-sighted vision, particularly in my right eye. My parents dutifully took me to the optometrist, who when I asked why I now needed glasses, he mentioned something about my eyes being defective. I could not understand the logic as to how a defect not present at birth could suddenly develop.
