901. How Time Flies When I Am In A Hurry By James Snyder
     Have you ever noticed that when you are on vacation time goes by rapidly? According to my calculations (and I'm the first to admit I didn't do well in calculus), the average minute during vacation time is less than 20 seconds. This is one reason time goes by so quickly on vacation.The other reason, as everyone knows, is that during a vacation week there are no days beginning with the letter “T.” Now, you know why your vacation went by so quickl…



902. Who Are The Underminers? By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
     How many of you had the experience growing up of being told in various ways to limit yourselves from being all you can be? The movie “The Incredibles” is a wonderful metaphor for this. In this movie, the superheroes – the people with extraordinary powers – are restricted from using their powers.When I was growing up, I was not supported in being all I could be. “Boys don’t like smart girls,” “People will be jealous of you.” I learned to hide go…

906. Romance - Can It Last? By Thelma Mariano
     I’m a sucker for romance. I love movies where boy meets girl, boy loses girl and, against all odds, they find their way back to each other. Or films about star-crossed lovers, as in Bridges of Madison County, who return to their separate lives forever changed.In real life, though, I have learned to be wary of my own longing to be swept away. It’s fun being pursued by an ardent admirer and flattering to be wined and dined in style. But after a f…

He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.He sniffed the apples and smelled nothing. He tried to eat them, but hurt his teeth. They were made of wood, but they were beautiful, and when the other monkeys saw them, he held onto them even tighter.…



908. The Secret to New Ideas By Jon Weaver

Furthermore, change is necessary for those in business, as it is the best aid to replacement and profit.We have also been made aware by many books that obsolescence is built into much merchandise to make it wear out long before its time. Or new styles are introduced so different from the current ones that one…



909. Anam Chara - Living A Life Of Value By Tony Cuckson
     Much of our lives we spend comparing what “me” has with what “you” has. Usually this is to the detriment of “me.” We take our values from the world of the visible and ignore the values of the invisible. We build our sense of self on the sifting sands of fortune.Our values are mostly those of the society we live in. They are the values of family, race, gender, economic and nation-state to name a few. Many of these values change. They chang…

That’s why I have used my imagination to create a patch of faith. I use it to symbolize my…



913. Summertime - Take Time To Smell The Roses By Eileen Bodoh

Lying in a hammock between two shade trees Or wandering through a multicolodred rose garden, Sitting quietly and communing with nature Beholding something beautiful in each person I meet.I AM SO GRATEFUL for a walk with no destination. A choice pair of tennis shoes cushions my feet, Pretty plantings in the neighborhood catch my eye, A leisurely chat provides a welcome, short break, And a nonchal…



914. The Power of Inspiration By James M. Becher
         INSPIRATION can be a powerful thing. It can keep you going when all around you cries out “quit!” It is even more powerful than motivation,as motivation gives you your basic reasons to keepgoing--it tells you why you want to do what you do, because motivation is based on goals. These, in turn, may be based on necessity want or desire. But inspiration fills those reasons with hope, possibil-ity and enjoyment and keeps the “grind” from becomin…



915. Attitudes - The Overlooked Inventory By Dan B Cauthron
     It goes without question that any business intending to thrive will, sooner or later, be forced into making an honest inventory of assets and liabilities. Yet, whether from a business perspective, or in the going concern of a single human life, we often lose track of our most vital product, our own attitudes.Attitudes, for the most part, dictate the nature and result of our relationships with ourselves, other persons, places, things, concepts a…

918. Thoughts on Loving By Debra Rashid
     Loving. It seems like such a simple concept. But those who have mastered the act of loving are close to non existent. I’m not so much talking about the love between a husband and a wife, a father and a son, or the love between two friends…I’m talking about love in a more general sense. The love that isn’t concerned with what it will get in return, for there can be no expectations with this type of love. I’m talking about the love of mankin…



919. Hope in Humanity By Sharif Khan
     Let us renew our hope in humanity. It’s so easy to lose faith when someone cuts us off on the highway, when a ‘friend’ blows us off (for the second time) and fails to show, when we get burned in a business deal, when a co-worker doesn’t do what they said they were going to do, or when a colleague fails to keep their promise, etc.At the same time, we DO encounter people showing heroic acts of kindness in our day-to-day lives. I’m talking about t…
