¿Sabes que tan sólo una palabra puede cambiar tu vida?

Earl Nightingale, en su obra, “Lead the Field” nos dice que “La palabra mágica es Actitud.” ¡Mejorando nuestra actitud, todo mejora! Si tratamos a los demás con una sonrisa en los labios, todos nos tratarán mejor. ¡De cuántas me he librado cuando he ido manejando algo más arriba de la velocidad permitida, simplemente por sonreir y tratar al oficial con respeto y una actitud positiva! Y a cuántas personas les ponen las cosas lo más difíciles posibles simplemente por tratar al oficial con una mala actitud.

Todos nosotros nos comportamos como espejos del mundo a nuestro alrededor. Generalmente comenzamos el día con una actitud neutral, y dejamos que el medio y las circunstancias la vayan modificando. Pero, si sabemos que los demás tienden a reflejar nuestra actitud, ¡Qué increíble diferencia cuando proyectamos ante ellos una actitud realmente positiva y recibimos la misma actitud de vuelta!

Esto mejora todas las interacciones que tenemos con las demás personas… Y si nos encontramos con alguien en verdad desagradable, pero no dejamos que afecte nuestra actitud… ¡Ni siquiera nos pesa tanto el haber tratado con esa persona!

Dicen que cuando al gran inventor, Thomas Alva Edison se le preguntó sobre los 10,000 intentos que tuvo antes de lograr que la bombilla eléctrica funcionara, él respondió “No he fracasado. Tan sólo he encontrado 10,000 formas que no funcionan.”

¡Eso es una actitud positiva!

Si Edison hubiera tenido una actitud promedio, después del primero o segundo intento hubiera dicho “Esto es imposible.” O “No sirvo para esto.” Pero su actitud de éxito, aunada a su pasión por hacr realidad su visión, lo llevaron a través de todas las dificultades que podríamos imaginar hasta llegar a algo que ha transformado la vida en nuestro planeta.

Si una actitud positiva pudo lograr eso en su vida… ¿Qué cambios podría tener en tu vida diaria?

Practica a tener una actitud positiva todos los días, durante 30 días consecutivos.

¡Nunca volverás a permitirte una actitud promedio!

¡Vive cada día de tu vida con pasión!

-Jorge

Being a fan I had to post something and I just love these webcam sessions from season 2 extras.

Hey all.

I am addicted to Earl Gray tea now. Actually, I’ve been addicted for awhile, but I just started drinking it again recently.

Bart rasieren ist Schwerstarbeit. Überhaupt wenn man die Haare im Gesicht schon wochenlang wuchern hat lassen und schon wie ein kubanischer Revolutionär ausgesehen hat. Wobei, er war schon länger im Spätsommer nach unserem Kuba-Urlaub. Hätt also noch länger wachsen können. Aber: Hilft nichts, der Bart musste ab. Aber ich hab probiert, ob mir verschiedene Bart-Varianten stehen würden.

Der Ausgangspunkt – der Fidel-Castro-Bart. Zumindest ansatzweise. Wobei einige gemeint haben, das stehe mir gut. Trotzdem. Her mit dem Rasierer, denn: Es zwickt, fühlt sich auch wenn man den Bart pflegt ungepflegt an und: Für ein schönes Aussehen muss man den Bart trimmen. Nicht mit mir, das ist ja anstrengender als rasieren!

Rasierstufe Eins: Hier ein bisschen weg rasiert, dort ein bisschen weg rasiert und fertig: Koteletten mit Klobrillen-Bart. Wär mal was anderes, aber so ganz war ich dann doch nicht überzeugt. Macht einen doch älter als man ist so eine bärtige Mundumrundung.

Darum bin ich zur Rasierstufe Zwei gekommen: Der “My Name is Earl”-Bart. Sehr fesch. Würde wohl gutes Karma bringen. Schaut doch gleich nach Strizzi aus und hat was von einem Zuhälter-Look. Fast wär ich dabei geblieben, aber ganz zufrieden war ich damit doch wieder nicht. Wer weiß, ob der Zuhälter-Look wirklch so gut ankommt da draussen…. Also wurden die Rasiermesser wieder gewetzt.

Rasierstufe Drei: Der klassische proletarische Oberlippenbart. Fesch, aber nicht ganz auf der Höhe der Zeit. Da ich nicht in Simmering oder Favoriten wohne, hab ich auch davon Abstand genommen. Obwohl ich damit fast so fesch bin wie der wunderbare Austrofred. In einem ersten Schritt hab ich noch probiert, obs ohne Koteletten besser ausschaut, dann wieder ein bissl was wegretuschiert vom Bart.

Ich habs weiter probiert >>

Rasierstufe vier war ein Experiment: Wie sieht man mit dem Hitler-Bärtchen aus? Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war diese Oberlippen-Verzierung noch gang und gäbe. Heute nicht mehr denkbar, dass man den Bart so stehen lässt, wenn man nicht deutsch-tümlerisch herumlaufen will und nicht Karlheinz Essl heißt.

Damit also wieder zurück zum Ausgang: Rasierstufe fünf ist die Rückkehr zum Ausgangspunkt: Der Bart ist abrasiert, glatt wie ein Babypopo. Aber der Bart kommt wieder. Er wächst und wächst halt immer nach.

So not only did SJP and Matthew Broderick have twins, they’ve generated double the press with their name choices.

First came the announcement that the girls were named Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.  Which was followed by chatter about how Marion and Tabitha were mismatched, and wasn’t it unfair that poor Tabitha had just two given names?

Now we learn that  SJP and Matthew Broderick call their girls Loretta and Tabitha - and that firstborn James Wilkie was responsible for choosing the name Marion.  And he was wily enough to insist that it be legal, which is why the parents put Marion first, rather than tucking her in the middle.  (Weigh in on Yea or Nay: Loretta here.  So far, opinion is split pretty evenly.)

When I asked Aly what he wanted to name his pterodactyl (no, not a real one.  This isn’t Torchwood), he told me December.  Which I find strangely appealing.  Nonetheless, I’m glad we didn’t let him (seriously) weigh in on his sister’s name.

In other starbaby news:

• Jane Carrey has announced that her dad, funnyman Jim Carrey is about to be a grandpa. Apparently, Jane and boyfriend Alex Santana have already settled on the name Jackson Riley;
• Alicia Minshew of All My Children welcomed a daughter, Willow Lenora;
• Layla Kayleigh, host of America’s Best Dance Crew, and Steve Corvino, of Sirius Radio, announced the birth of a daughter, Melody Rain;
• Model Karolina Kurkova is new mom to son Tobin Jack;
• Footballer Wayne Rooney and wife Colleen are the parents of a son, Kai Wayne;
• And, of course, Mel Gibson is a father for the EIGHTH time.  He and girlfriend welcomed daughter Lucia.  Mel’s first seven kids are Hannah, Edward, Christian, William, Louis, Milo and Thomas.

Elsewhere online:

• I love the Nymbler stats!  October’s Top Ten is as follows: Charlotte, Ava, Amelia, Benjamin, Ella, Grace, Jack, Finn, Oliver and Abigail.  And the Top Five brand new names?  It’s quite the celeb-driven list: Sparrow, Anniston, Huckleberry, October and Pixie;
• Remind me to take Nancy along the next time I’m facing a long drive somewhere.  She’s traveling the highways and by-ways of Mississippi while reading the phone book to spot unusual real names!  Her lists are fascinating – check out the sixth in the series here, and follow the links back.  You just know there are stories behind names like Jaston, Tavarius and Hacksaw.  Plus she’s discovered several people with the name Toxie;
• Wladimir Lyra of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg is pushing to give names to the known exoplanets.  (Hat tip to Language Log.)  Scientists are discovering planets outside of the solar system at a gallop – they’re at 400 and counting.  The sage fonts of wisdom at the International Astronomical Union feel that it would be impractical to name them all.  Instead, they assign strings of numbers and letters.  Too bad – I know we could all put our heads together and name 400 planets in no time – Jaston, Tavarius and Hacksaw are all available;
• Over at For Real Baby Names, there’s mention of a British Minne Jane Snoo.  Please, please, please let Snoo be a family name and not a clever twist on Boo.  In happier news, her list also includes a Hero Charlotte Moranna and a Flora Isabella Minette;
• While I’m spotting trends that trouble me, Bewildertrix brings us Xzavia Paul William.  But there’s also a Serena Alice Louisa, little sister to Verity.  And I’ve seen Verity in a few other BAs recently;
• Lastly, check out Elisabeth’s post on Country baby names over at You Can’t Call It “It”.  While not all of these conjure up haystacks and John Deere for me, maybe that’s because I’m already hearing them on kids inside the DC Beltway – Clio has classmates called Mabel and Ida, and I know fashion-forward urbaniste parents with offspring answering to Polly, Earl and Roscoe;
• A year ago, I wrote about Matilda and Luke.

That’s all for this week – as always, thanks for reading.

As a collector of old relics, this is one I’d like to ad to my collection soon.  Earl “Dutch” Clark was a star quarterback for the Lions and is a member of both the College and Pro Football HOF.  Just like Red Grange, you won’t find any jersey relics of Clark, only leather helmet pieces.  On a side note, I’m really glad Panini took Leaf Limited back to a one pack, high thrill product this year.  Last year’s Leaf Limited just reminded me of another version of Certified Materials.

In 1956 Earl Nightingale produced a record, “The Strangest Secret”, which sold over a million copies, making it the first recording of it’s nature to achieve Gold Record status.

Shortly afterwards, he cofounded the Nightingale-Conant corporation with Lloyd Conant. “The Strangest Secret” and, “We become what we think about”, are both coined by Earl Nightingale.

Earl Says Hello

Earl, the Ugly Doll, came along on the shoot. In fact, he got to pose.

Hi friends!  Please crosspost for this poor little guy!  He’s so scared at the pound!  If you can help, please contact:

http://www.athenspets.net/ at 706-613-3540  and ask for Earl #29156

Earl – 29156

Available!

Earl

• Age: 10 years
• Breed: Spitz/Chihuahua Mix
• Gender: Male–Neutered!!
• Impound Date: 10/13/09
• Ledger #: 29156

Why choose me?

Earl is very confused and scared at the pound.  When I went in his kennel to visit with him, he was curled into a ball and shaking.  The pound is no place for an older gentleman like Earl.  His shivering stopped when I rubbed his back and started talking to him.  I decided to just take his pictures in his kennel so that the stress of going outside in the rain wouldn’t bother him.  He seemed to enjoy my company and would probably make a great little lap dog for a low key family.  Even though he’s an older dog, he’s very small (only about 15 pounds) so if given proper exercise, nutrition, and veterinary care he could possibly live another 10 years.  Even if you decide not to adopt him, Earl would still love your company, even or just a few minutes, so hurry out to the pound to meet this sweet gentleman.

I’ve already gotten past needing to use it, but it’s still a Hell of a hoot.

Gender: Masculine
Origin: Swedish/Norwegian/Icelandic
Meaning: “chief, nobleman, earl.”
(YAHRL)

The name comes from the Old Norse word for chief, it shares an etymological relation with the English word and given name Earl. In Norse mythology, it is borne by the son of the god Ríg and Modir. His father taught him how to read, magic and to understand the language of birds. Jarl is considered the progenitor of the warrior race. Its designated name-day is October 11.

Gender: Masculine
Origin: Swedish/Norwegian
Meaning: “descendant of the Chief.”
(AIR-ling)

He has a surnamey appeal and not a bad ring. This popular Scandinavian male name is a derivative of the Old Norse word jarl meaning “chief” in modern English this would correspond with the word earl. Its designated name-day is October 11. An Icelandic form is Erlingur.

MADISON, Wis. – State prison officials said an inmate is in solitary after he tried to escape from Columbia Correctional Institution. Department of Corrections spokesman John Dipko said 49-year-old James Frederick was supposed to pick up food carts when he bolted for the perimeter fences. He had stuffed his clothes with newspapers to protect him from razor wire that lined the top of the first fence. He also had a large bag of raisins with him.

Frederick tried to climb the first fence, but still cut his hand on the razor wire and fell to the ground.

Dipko says Frederick escaped from Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution in 1981 but was recaptured.

The Columbia escape attempt occurred about 5:45 a.m. Tuesday, October 6th, 2009.

I was not into american sitcoms. That is before I got hooked on Friends, That 70’s show, The Office, How I met your mother, and of course My name is Earl. I was really disappointed that NBC cancelled the show.

My wife and I really find the show funny and for 4 seasons have never missed an episode. Personally, the story is somewhat inspiring for me. It shows the main character’s transformation from being a rotten lowly criminal to a karma-fearing good citizen.

There are rumors that other networks might pick-up the show, but it has been months since it got cancelled and still there are no confirmations. Sayang, bitin pa naman yung ending ng season 4.
