#Success: How you think is everything. It's that simple;

People who have goals succeed because they know where they're going. It's that simple. The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. It's the person who says, "I'm going to become this and then progressively works toward that goal.” ― Earl Nightingale

"The Strangest Secret"
In 1957, Earl Nightingale, speaker, author and co founder of the Nightingale-Conant Corporation, recorded his classic motivational record which sold over one million copies and made history in the recording industry by being honored as the first Gold Record for the spoken word. Nightingale, known as the "dean of personal development," concluded that life's "Strangest Secret" is that we become what we think about all day long.

 Your belief system, like your computer, doesn't judge or even question what you input; it merely accepts your thoughts as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Think thoughts of defeat or failure and you're bound to feel discouraged.
Continuous thoughts of worry, anxiety and fear are unhealthy and often manifest in the body as stress, panic attacks and depression.


Not long ago, Albert Schweitzer, the great Dr. and Nobel prize winner was being interviewed in London and a reporter asked him, "Doctor, what's wrong with men today?" The great doctor was silent a moment, and then he said, "Men simply don't think!" And it's about this that I want to talk with you. We live today in a golden age. This is an era that man has looked forward, dreamed of and worked toward for thousands of years. But, since it's here we pretty well take it for granted. We in America are particularly fortunate; to live in the richest land that ever existed on the face of the earth - a land of abundant opportunity for everyone.

At the core of Earl's amazing message, he reveals an incredible power . . .
The Strangest Secret remains one of the most powerful and influential messages ever recorded. It continues to transform the lives of everyone who hears and heeds it. The message is simple: We become what we think about. If you spend enough time thinking about something important, there’s a good chance your thinking will drive your actions.

Live this new way, and the floodgates of abundance will open and pour over you more riches than you may have dreamed existed.
Money? Yes, lots of it. But what's more important, you'll have peace. You'll be in that wonderful minority who lead calm, cheerful, successful lives. Start today. You have nothing to lose, but you have a life to win.


Earl Nightingale was an American motivational speaker and author, known as the "Dean of Personal Development." Nightingale was the author of the Strangest Secret, which economist Terry Savage has called “…One of the great motivational books of all time“. 

Today the messages of Earl Nightingale continues to inspire people from all walks of life, around the world, to examine, and set plans in motion for more successful lives.  Find your "road map" to success. All you need is the plan and the courage to press on to your destination.

 "The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career! " ― This is Authentic Nightingale.


 Sometimes something you read or heard or pondered over reminds you to think differently. It wakes you up. Reboots you. Gives you a jumpstart. Offers perspective. Secrets, in thoughts to inspire you, decide upon your true dreams and goals.

 The Courage to Take Action:
 The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security seekers. The more you seek security, the less of it you will have — and the more you pursue opportunity, the more security you will achieve.

 How to Ask for What You Want … and Get it!: Most people find themselves never achieving their dreams … simply because they never asked.

 How to React to Stress: It is not what happens to you in life that makes the difference. It is how you react to each circumstance you encounter that determines the result.

 Achieving Your Unlived Life: Most of us have the life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.

 Maintaining Honesty and Integrity:
When you are in a leadership position, whether it’s in a business or as the head of a family, honesty and integrity are not as important as money or shelter or a telephone. Honesty and integrity are infinitely more important than any of those things. They’re about as important as having air, food, and water.

"don't chase customers!"― A Fresh Perspective:

More people on social networks today, coupled with more people constantly using their
         mobile devices, requires that companies ask themselves this important question;
                         “Should we provide customer service on social media?” 


                            Blending A Fresh Perspective―"What Great Brands Do"


Showcase of how companies as diverse as IBM, REI, Starbucks, Lululemon, and more have all used their exceptional brand platforms as management tools to fuel, align, and guide every task they undertake--and have achieved higher-than-average profit margins as a result. What do these great brands have in common?

Author of "#WGBD", Denise Lee Yohn highlights that too many companies are failing to help their workers understand what makes their company different and better than the rest. If your employees don’t understand that, how can they help your brand achieve greatness?

"What Great Brands Do" shows how certain firms rely on a brand-as-business management approach to grow and succeed in tough economic climates, regardless of the size of their marketing budgets. "What Great Brands Do" distills their approach into seven guiding principles and accompanying best practices to provide a thoughtful and practical methodology for putting a company's brand in the driver's seat of the organization. 

The seven principles are:

 Great brands start inside* Great brands avoid selling products* Great brands ignore trends* Great brands don't chase customers* Great brands sweat the small stuff* Great brands commit and stay committed* Great brands never need to "give back"*

Research suggests that only a small portion of companies practice brand-building the way great brands do--a recent survey of marketing executives revealed that 64 percent feel that their brands do not influence decisions made at their companies.
Nearly two-thirds of companies are pouring millions of dollars into marketing and advertising without aligning their business strategies with the brand values and attributes they're communicating. As a result, the full business value of those brands is going unrealized.

 "What Great Brands Do" intends to change the ways readers think about and work with brand-building, and the book is essential reading for any business leader who wants to ensure that current brand activities help lay the foundation for continued growth.The author of "What Great Brands Do " has twenty-five years of experience working with world-class brands including Sony, Frito-Lay, and Burger King, and a talent for inspiring audiences.

1931, Winston Churchill: lab-grown meat — "boon to #society"?

                                               In 1931, Winston Churchill predicted;

 a future in which all the world’s meat would be grown in labs; what, he asked, was the sense in raising a whole chicken merely for the sake of its wings or breast meat?


" Synthetic food will, of course, also be used in the future. Nor need the pleasures of the table be banished. That gloomy Utopia of tabloid meals need never be invaded. The new foods will from the outset be practically indistinguishable from the natural products, and any changes will be so gradual as to escape observation."

Churchill imagined that lab-grown meat would prove a great boon to society, and will replace raising livestock on farms altogether.
In The 21Century "We assume that progress will be constant."


 “Let’s make a proof of concept, and change the discussion from ‘this is never going to work’ to, ‘well, we actually showed that it works, but now we need to get funding and work on it,"-- Dr. Mark Post: The idea of creating meat in a laboratory —
Building a $325,000 Burger?

 We all take the modern conveniences and facilities as they are offered to us without being grateful or consciously happier. But we simply could not live if they were taken away.

It is also very fortunate, for if it stopped or were reversed, there would be the catastrophe of unimaginable horror.

           "Mankind has gone too far to go back, and is moving too fast to stop." 

This concept may sound like the makings of a bad science fiction movie: A company that harvests human tissue to make meat products such as salami.  But a new start-up called BiteLabs is claiming to want to make human test-tube meat a reality.
               And they want to use celebrities to do it. Can you believe that?

 "Here's how it will work," as to the celebrity angle, BiteLabs is hoping they can use celebrities to warm people up to the idea of consuming the meat.

While eating human muscle tissue may sound cannibalistic, BiteLabs claims its meat will be free of “animal cruelty, waste and from the environmental impacts of industrial farming,” and that it is simply fulfilling the next step in food evolution;
As hundreds of people are petitioning celebrities to donate tissue samples.

 Does this sounds like a balanced, nutritional meal?:
Scientist's grotesque claim that human waste can be turned into edible meat-like substance has caused some gastric flutter across the world. Scientists gave the substance a color and then added soy protein to give it the meat flavor. And the people who ate it said it tasted like beef. The concept of "waste not, want not" has been taken to a whole new and level.  But doesn't the story smell just a little funny?

 “The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.”

There never was a time when the inherent virtue of human beings required more strong and confident expression in daily life; there never was a time when the hope of immortality and the disdain of earthly power and achievement were more necessary for the safety of the children of men.

 Where Are We Going?: 
Projects undreamed-of by past generations will absorb our immediate descendants; forces terrific and devastating will be in their hands; comforts, activities, amenities, pleasures will crowd upon them, but their hearts will ache, their lives will be barren, if they have not a vision above material things. 

And with the hopes and powers will come dangers out of all proportion to the growth of man’s intellect, to the strength of his character or to the efficacy of his institutions. Once more the choice is offered between Blessing and Cursing. Never was the answer that will be given harder to foretell. —
