Accomplishing your dreams is a
process, not something that happens over night. Often we get discouraged
because we don't think we are making progress, and the next thing we know we
have veered away from that goal.
The key is to plan a course for how we
want to achieve our goals. And each and every day, take a few steps closer
towards our goal...Your friend in cyberspace,

Daily Commentary
One of the easiest ways to succeed is
to watch what other successful people are doing, and then take it a step
further! I enjoy reading the biographies of these folks, not so much for the
literary value as what I may learn about the person.
History, if studied can reveal many
secrets and may ensure that we don't make the same mistakes that the others
before us did!...Your friend in cyberspace,

certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self
confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense." – Thomas
A. Bennett
"Somehow I can't believe that
there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of
making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized
in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the
greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all
the way, implicitly and unquestionable." -- Walt Disney (Artist, Film
Producer)
"The greater the difficulty the
more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms
and tempests." – Epictetus (Phrygian Philosopher)

universe." -- Steve Jobs (Founder APPLE Computer, Entrepreneur)
"Failures are finger posts on the
road to achievement." -- Charles F. Kettering (Engineer, Inventor)

One of the surest roads I have found
that leads to personal success is in doing something that you would do even if
you didn't get paid for it! I have found that there are things that I just
enjoy doing more than others. From time to time I like to look at these things
and see how I could make it produce an income for me. Please understand that
when I say it's the easiest way to success what I mean is that since you enjoy
doing it you won't mind putting the hard work into it necessary to succeed. A
perfect example of me doing something that I would do for free anyway is that I
enjoy working with computers, so it only seemed natural that I would offer
computer tutoring services and Internet consulting. Another example is what I
am doing with the Motivational Mecca! it takes lots of time to keep it up and
running, but I genuinely believe in the power of motivational thinking, so I
don't count the hours involved.
Recently the site has evolved into
working towards getting paying sponsors. The IAD List is something that I truly
enjoy and as a direct result of the time I have spent to develop it, it is now
growing beyond what I could have imagined possible. Friends, if you do not do
but one thing in your life, I hope that it will be to do something that you
enjoy...Your friend in cyberspace,
