Understand!!

Seek not only to know, but also to understand. In a world that is awash in information, true understanding remains a rare and precious treasure.

The knowledge and information you collect is indeed valuable. The understanding you refine from that knowledge can be priceless.

Information tells you what has happened. Understanding enables you to know what will come as a result.

Understanding gives you a clear picture of opportunities that others cannot even glimpse. The effort you put into understanding brings great value to your life and your world.

Listen, learn, question, experience, think and understand. Do the work that turns ordinary facts into wisdom.

Have the courage and discipline to think for yourself. And out of the raw information will come real understanding.

Tell Yourself

What are you telling yourself that’s holding you back? What
are you telling yourself that’s preventing you from being
happy?

What are you telling yourself that gives you permission to
be less than your very best? What are you telling yourself
that gives you an excuse for not taking action.

Every moment of every day you’re interpreting the world for
yourself, telling yourself what it means and what to do
about it. Each time you tell yourself something, you have an
opportunity to make a lasting impact on your life.

So tell yourself yes. Remind yourself why you have chosen to
step forward and give yourself permission to do so.

Tell yourself that you can choose a life of joy and
fulfillment right now. Tell yourself that you’re fully
capable of whatever you decide to achieve.

Take the opportunity to tell yourself, again and again, how
truly outstanding your life can be. And then thank yourself
for the great advice as you enthusiastically bring it to
life.

The Truth On How Drugs Became Illegal

This was on the History Channel the other day. The name of the program is "Illegal Drugs And How They Got That Way". It was a very interesting program, I have seen this already but I wanted to watch again to see if they had changed anything. They didn't so this is the short of it, around 80 years ago it was common for people to use cocaine regurlarly, and legally. Slave masters would give cocaine to slaves and workers so that they wouldn't get tired as easy. Word started to spread to the north that "Drug crazed negroes" were attacking their white masters, and the drug (and all intoxicants) were declared illegal for all minorities. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Dita Challenger Sunglasses

The Challenger looks to have taken some inspiration from last year's collaboration with Cazal on the 902 re-release. The Challenger design is a much more streamlined approach while keeping with Dita's big and bold aesthetic

The New Grand Bentley, Or At Least The Front Of It!

Just in case all of you didn't know Bentley's current flagship, the Arnage is the last vestige of old Bentley prior to becoming part of the Volkswagen Group. The luxury automaker is currently in the process of building the 150 final series Arnage models and getting ready to launch a replacement.

That car now dubbed the new Grand Bentley still remains very much a mystery, but the folks in Crewe have released the first teaser image and video of the new car. At this point all we know is that it will bear the famed winged B hood ornament. Bentley will be the featured marque at this year's Pebble Beach Concours and that is expected to to be the site of the Grand Bentley's debut. In the meantime check out the special site for the car at http://www.newgrandbentley.com.

Active Role

There is a very small gap that can separate you from the
fulfillment of your dreams. Fortunately, that
gap is entirely of your own making and you have what it
takes to get across it.

Life’s abundance swirls around you in every moment, and it
seems close enough to touch. The possibilities just keep on
coming, day after day, filled with the promise of
fulfillment.

Yet to live that abundance, and to make the best of those
possibilities real, you must take an active role. Life can
be anything you make of it, yet you must be the one who
makes it happen.

The way to bridge the gap, and to bring your dreams to life,
is to act on them. Take positive, productive, effective
action every opportunity you get, day after day and year
after year.

Take an active role in your own life. Shape it
and build it and enjoy the process of fine-tuning every
aspect of it so that you’re living precisely the life that’s
right for you.

Take full responsibility for all that you experience. And
what you experience will be truly meaningful.

Your Choice !!!

You can resent the amount of work you have to do. Or you can
get busy and use it as an opportunity to create great value.

You can see each setback as a fatal blow to the achievement
of your dream. Or you can learn from all the ups and the
downs and make the achievement of your dream all the more
valuable as a result of each challenge.

You can pounce upon each bit of bad news and extrapolate it
to portend the end of the world. Or you can celebrate the
fact that bad news is news only because it is so relatively
rare.

You can sit and wait and complain and convince yourself that
things will never get better. Or you can enthusiastically
jump forward and make life the best it can be.

Whatever the situation, whoever is involved, you always have
a choice. Choose each time to express the authentic beauty
of your being, and live in a world where life is so very
good.

So I can get behind the wheel of a Veyron for $25,500 a day?

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is one magnificent wheeled missile most of us dream to own, but only a few are able to, considering the cost of ownership and the availability. If you couldn’t manage to own one, why not hire one to make that bold impression? A Berkshire-based leasing company called Holders Vehicle Contracts is offering for hire the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world. At £16,000 (approx. $25,500) a day, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is an ultimate holiday rental, but you also need to submit £100,000 as a deposit. Superior in every sense, the Bugatti Veyron supercar has already earned itself a name in car history as an undisputed classic. My question for all of you is, if you had the cash on hand would you rent this car??

Quote For Today!

“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.”
