Time To Think - August 3, 2007 - Cooperation rather than competition I was watching the program ‘Night Talk’ on Bloomberg Television with host Mike Schneider the other evening. This is a program which I very often watch as I find that Mike Schneider has a great array of fascinating guests, and he does an excellent job of getting them to really open up, so that the viewers get to see right into the very soul of his guests.
Last night, his guest was Businessman and Author Richard Kiyosaki. Richard Kiyosaki wrote the book ‘Rich Dad - Poor Dad’ which so far h ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Time To Think - August 2, 2007 - Are you a good loser?When I was a young boy growing up in England and Ireland, I was very involved in sports of all kinds. I played soccer, cricket, rounders, a European type of softball; I boxed and partook in track and field events. I remember well, all of our coaches impressing upon us, the vital need to be gracious in defeat. Let’s face it, no one likes to lose at anything. But, I honestly believe, that the true measure of a person, is how they behave in defeat.

Time To Think - August 1, 2007 - The importance of editingAnyone who has ever written a book will know, that when it goes to the publisher, the Author is assigned an Editor. The job of the Editor is to read through the manuscript very carefully from cover to cover, and to take out certain phrases, passages or words, and to make absolutely sure that everything is grammatically correct.

Time To Think - July 31, 2007 - What do you want?Anyone who’s involved in counseling of any kind, will be aware of the fact, that there are unfortunately a whole lot of unhappy people spread throughout this great big world of ours. Now, from my own personal experience, I honestly believe, that one of the main underlying reasons why so many people are in fact very unhappy with themselves, is simply because they have no direction. That’s right, countless thousands of people are just going along from day to day, hoping in a very vague way, t ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website
Time To Think - July 30, 2007 - I love getting highNow I’m quite sure that I’ve really got your attention today with the title of this article ‘I love getting high’. However, before you go to the liquor cabinet and pour yourself a stiff one, saying let me get high too; the high which I get over and over again as I participate in projects which make others feel good about themselves, is a Natural High. That’s right, the high I’m talking about is most definitely not induced by imbibing alcoholic beverages of any kind, or by using any kind of ...

However, let me be completely honest with you here today, I also get from time to time some not so complementary e-mails; in fact, some of them are full of vitriol and even abuse.

Time To Think - June 27, 2007 - The buck doesn't stop anywhereI was watching the ‘Morning Show’ on KTLA a few weeks ago, when Ralph Nader was being interviewed about his latest book. In talking about the fact, that nobody seems to want to take responsibility for the wrongs permeating society today, at the beginning of the 21st century; he used the phrase which is in fact the title of this article, Ralph Nader said “The buck doesn’t stop anywhere”. How very true, and alas how very sad that statement is.

Time To Think - June 26, 2007 - Don't ever stop questioningThere’s a wonderful Japanese Proverb which I find myself quoting again and again in my lectures, seminars, and indeed in these articles which states “A person who asks a question is a fool for a minute. A person who never asks a question remains a fool for the rest of his life”. Oh how absolutely true those wonderful words of wisdom are. We all, that is if we truly want to grow in all facets of our life, need to develop a ‘Questioning Attitude’ whereby we don’t just accept what others say, ...

Time To Think - June 15, 2007 - TheFuture of ShockJocksIn my very first book ‘Success is Simple’ published by Cornerstone Library of New York in 1975, chapter ten was titled ‘The Brain’. Here’s some of what I wrote in that chapter over thirty years ago “The brain is surely one of our greatest attributes, and it can help us reach our goal PROVIDED we use it.
Unfortunately, like many of the wonderful attributes that we were born with, we tend to place little value on it and therefore, don’t use it.

Time To Think - June 14, 2007 - TheFuture of ShockJocksAt the time of writing this particular article in the month of April 2007, Don Imus, who has been in the field of broadcasting for a long time in The U.S., has created quite a storm as he used some inflammatory language on his daily Morning Show, which was aired on both radio and T.V. all over The U.S.A., Canada, and I guess, many other parts of the world too. As a result of the remarks he made, which of course I will not repeat here today, his T.V. show was cancelled by MSNBC, and a couple ...

Time To Think - June 13, 2007 - Jekyll and Hyde personalitiesI am presently dealing with a particular person, who is extremely nice and charming at times; and yet, on some days this person becomes cold in the extreme, even quite arrogant, thus it’s very difficult to deal with him. Do you My Friend, have to deal with some people in your life who are in fact a whole lot like that? I’m quite sure that the answer to that question is in the affirmative, as there are from my observations, a whole lot of people who are not consistent in their everyday behav ...

Time To Think - June 12, 2007 - I've forgotten my ageI was flipping through the channels on my T.V. the other day, when I came upon a wonderful discussion on preventative medicine and health in general, on The Larry King Show on CNN. Larry had a very well qualified panel to discuss the subject, which included Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Lance Armstrong the world champion cyclist who has overcome cancer, another gentleman whose name I unfortunately don’t recall, and well known Author-Lecturer, Medical Doctor and Spiritual Guru Dr. Deepak Chopra.

Time To Think - June 11, 2007 - Bitterness destroysMy Friend, let me ask you a simple, straightforward, but at the same time oh so important question. Are you bitter about anything that happened to you in the past, or are you holding a grudge against anyone whom you perceive in your mind, did something to hurt you? Now please My Friend, don’t try to side step this most important question, for if you do and thus pretend that you’re not extremely bitter about something that happened in the past, it could indeed have dire consequences for you ...

Time To Think - June 8, 2007 - Begin againThere are, as we all know, ups and downs in all of our lives. In fact, as I have written about in the past, and as I teach my students in my ‘Broaden Your Horizons’ seminar, The Universe is cyclical in nature, everything in life goes in cycles. Another way in which I wrote about this theme in the past, was by stating that ‘Every ending is a new beginning’.

Time To Think - June 7, 2007 - Leave it behindThe command issued with the title of this particular article to ‘Leave it behind!’ should be taken very seriously by everyone in my reading audience. As I have written about on many occasions in the past, the past is over, it cannot be changed no matter how long and hard we contemplate the errors which occurred. So, the most logical thing appears to me, that we should indeed ‘Leave it behind!’ once and for all, and instead focus all of our attention and energy on the future, which is obviou ...

Time To Think - June 6, 2007 - I knowI’m quite sure, that all of us, at one time or another, have encountered a set of circumstances when we just ‘KNEW’, that everything was going our way. To me, when I say in talking about a particular goal which I’ve set for myself, ‘I KNOW’ that I’m going to achieve it, it really is a great combination of P.M.A., a Positive Mental Attitude coupled with a Strong Spiritual Belief in the power of God, to assist me in achieving the goal.

Time To Think - June 5, 2007 - Governments should not be in businessI believe, that most intelligent members of the public, fully understand that less government is better for all concerned, than more government. In other words, government, any government anywhere in the world, should just provide the minimum of essential services required by the populace, whilst also concentrating on putting in place the framework, by way of rules and regulations, laws if you will, to facilitate the orderly running of everyday affairs.

Time To Think - June 4, 2007 - Pat someone on the back todayI guess that we all, that is if we’re being totally honest here today, really feel good when someone gives us a pat on the back, and thus praises us for something which we accomplished. I am constantly getting pats on the back, figuratively speaking of course, when people either call me on the phone, e-mail me, or stop me on the street, in a store or office to let me know how much they enjoy my daily radio programs and articles.

Time To Think - June 1, 2007 - Let your actions speak for youLet me commence today by asking you a couple of questions. The first question is: Do you know a whole lot of people who are forever talking about what they intend to do with their life; and yet in the long run, nothing that they say they’ll do, ever seems to actually materialize? Now, I’m sure that the answer to that question is in the affirmative. Now, here’s the second question: Do you My Friend, fall into this category of people who are talkers, but apparently not doers?

I’m now located much nearer to my Daughters than I used to be, there’s great security at my complex, and it’s very peaceful and quiet. Now I left the place in which I was living for quite some time, for many different reasons. However, one of the contributing factors was most definitely the fact, that the old neighborhood had got extremely noisy, and particularly on Sundays, whe ...

Time To Think - May 30, 2007 - Religious PrejudiceAs most of my regular readers will be aware of, one of my pet peeves is prejudice of any kind. Most will also be familiar with the fact, that although I am indeed a very strong proponent of living a truly spiritual life, I’m at the same time not at all keen on organized religion. Now, when one puts the two together, that is Religion and Prejudice, it does become a really disgusting duo.

Time To Think - May 28, 2007 - An insensitive societyWhere I live in The Bahamas, there are unfortunately a large number of people who, it appears to me, are totally insensitive to the needs, requirements, and basic rights of others. This insensitivity is manifested in many ways, but one of THE most annoying examples of the lack of respect for others, is the constant playing of excessively loud music.

Now as anyone who is a regular reader to these articles will know, I’m not at all keen on politicians, as I find them for the most part to be dishonest, hypocritical, power hungry, and totally self-serving.

Time To Think - May 23, 2007 - Is your word your bond?I regret to say, that the world in which we all presently live at the beginning of the 21st century, is inhabited by a whole lot of extremely dishonest people, people whom it is difficult to believe anything which comes out of their mouth. Now, let’s never lose sight of the fact, that the world in which we all live is made up of individuals. So, if one makes a statement to the effect, that we appear to live in a very dishonest world, what that person is in effect saying, is that the world i ...

I don’t usually think like ‘The Crowd’, I am thank God an ‘Original Thinker’, and quite frankly I honestly feel that this is the way God made us all, to think for ourselves and thus not become a part of the ‘Mindless Masses’ who invariably just go along with ‘The Crowd’, thereby allowing others to do their thinking for them.

Our Mother or Father would tell us what was acceptable behaviour in the home, they did indeed guide us every step of the way. Sometimes when we grow up and leave home to go out into the world to fend for ourselves, it can at times seem to be almost overwhelming.

During a group discussion period held during this module, the participants always seem to come to the same conclusion, that ‘Leadership by Example’ is indeed the best type of leadership in the end.

But, upon doing some research on the subject of ‘Change’, I noted that Heraclitus who lived from 540 to 475 BC said “There is nothing permanent except change”.

I found, most of what she was saying to be incorrect, as far as I’m concerned.
