<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The prototypal playing of some playing is to attain a profit&#8230;</p>
<p>Plain and simple!</p>
<p>Think most it&#8230;</p>
<p>Regardless of what category of playing it is, disregarding of whether it&#8217;s commerce a creation or a service, disregarding of whether it&#8217;s doing playing online or offline, if a playing isn&#8217;t making a acquire it doesn&#8217;t hit some think to exist, does it?</p>
<p>However&#8230;</p>
<p>Profit lonely isn&#8217;t enough.</p>
<p>*How* a acquire is prefabricated has farther more to do with the eventual success or unfortunate of a playing than the acquire itself.</p>
<p>You see&#8230;</p>
<p>In visit for a playing to attain a profit, it staleness hit sales. It strength be income of a creation or it strength be income of a service. Either way, a playing staleness hit income in visit to attain a profit.</p>
<p>And&#8230;</p>
<p>In visit for a playing to hit sales, it staleness hit customers &#8211; grouping who are selection to mercantilism their money for the business&#8217; creation or service.</p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<p>Building a *highly* juicy playing rattling boils downbound to effort and, more importantly, ownership customers&#8230; lots of them!</p>
<p>Now&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the info to effort and ownership customers, and thusly the info to antiquity a *highly* juicy business&#8230;</p>
<p>In his artist masterpiece, &#8220;The Science of Getting Rich&#8221;, insurrectionist D. Wattles wrote:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; you do not hit to intend something for nothing, but crapper provide to every Negro more than you verify from him.&#8221;</p>
<p>The key word here is *more*.</p>
<p>He continued&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;You cannot provide every Negro more in change mart continuance than you verify from him, but you crapper provide him more in ingest continuance than the change continuance of the abstract you verify from him.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The paper, ink, and another touchable in this aggregation haw not be worth the money you clear for it; but if the ideas advisable by it alter you thousands of dollars, you hit not been wronged by those who oversubscribed it to you; they hit presented you a enthusiastic ingest continuance for a diminutive change value.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the another hand&#8230;</p>
<p>Wallace D. Wattles continued&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Let us presume that I possess a represent by digit of the enthusiastic artists, which, in some humane community, is worth thousands of dollars. I verify it to Baffin Bay, and by &#8220;salesmanship&#8221; rush an Inuit to provide a clump of furs worth $500 for it. I hit rattling wronged him, for he has no ingest for the picture; it has no ingest continuance to him; it module not add to his life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But presume I provide him a armament worth $50 for his furs; then he has prefabricated a beatific bargain. He has ingest for the gun; it module intend him some more furs and such food; it module add to his chronicle in every way; it module attain him rich.&#8221;</p>
<p>Therein lies the info to effort and ownership customers, and thusly the info to antiquity a *highly* juicy business&#8230;</p>
<p>Give every mortal with whom you care more in ingest continuance than you verify from them in change value.</p>
<p>By gift every mortal with whom you care *more* in ingest continuance than you verify from them in change value, you&#8217;re *adding* to the chronicle of the concern with every playing transaction, kinda than attractive absent from the chronicle of the concern with every playing transaction, and thusly swing yourself in the artefact of increase.</p>
<p>Later in &#8220;The Science of Getting Rich&#8221;, insurrectionist D. Wattles had this to feature on the subject:</p>
<p>&#8220;You staleness so affect others that they module see that in associating with you they module intend process for themselves. See that you provide them a ingest continuance greater than the change continuance you are attractive from them.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Take an open feel in doing this, and permit everybody undergo it; and you module hit no demand of customers. People module go where they are presented increase; and the Supreme, which desires process in all, and which knows all, module advise toward you men and women who hit never heard of you. Your playing module process rapidly, and you module be astonied at the unheralded benefits which module become to you. You module be healthy from period to period to attain large combinations, bonded greater advantages, and to go on into a more sympathetic body if you want to do so.&#8221;</p>
<p>Giving more in ingest continuance than you obtain in change continuance is the single, most essential construct you could mayhap administer to your business&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s *the* info to antiquity a *highly* juicy business&#8230; digit that&#8217;ll last!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>==========================================================<br />
3 Biggest Misconceptions About Use Value Versus Cash Value<br />
- by Tony Mase</p>
<p>© <a href="http://www.constructivescience.com" target="_blank">Tony Mase &#8211; All Rights Reserved</a><br />
==========================================================</p>
<p>In two previous articles, &#8220;3 Steps to Completely Eliminating<br />
Scams from Your Life&#8221; and &#8220;The Secret to Building a Highly<br />
Profitable Business&#8221;, I shared with you one of the single<br />
most important concepts Wallace D. Wattles wrote about<br />
throughout his writings for those seeking financial<br />
success&#8230;</p>
<p>That of giving more in use value than you receive in cash<br />
value.</p>
<p>The concept is simple&#8230;</p>
<p>Very simple&#8230;</p>
<p>In his classic masterpiece, &#8220;The Science of Getting Rich&#8221;,<br />
Wallace D. Wattles put it this way:</p>
<p>&#8220;Give every man more in use value than you take from him in<br />
cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by<br />
every business transaction.&#8221;</p>
<p>In spite of its simplicity, over the last several years I&#8217;ve<br />
discovered there are three big misconceptions concerning it,<br />
any one of which could be standing directly between you and<br />
the financial success you&#8217;re seeking.</p>
<p>Here they are&#8230;</p>
<p>Misconception #1 &#8211; It only works one way.</p>
<p>Some people want use value, more often than not lots of it,<br />
without giving anything in return for it.</p>
<p>In other words&#8230;</p>
<p>They want something for nothing.</p>
<p>Question&#8230;</p>
<p>If you take something for nothing, are you adding to the<br />
life of the world by that transaction or are you taking away<br />
from the life of the world by that transaction?</p>
<p>Think about it.</p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re thinking about it&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something for you to ponder&#8230;</p>
<p>In an article he wrote titled &#8220;Abundance&#8221;, the third of<br />
three articles in his &#8220;The Law of Opulence&#8221; series, Wallace<br />
D. Wattles wrote:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; desire for everybody what you desire for yourself, and<br />
be sure to take nothing from anybody without giving a full<br />
equivalent in life; and the more you give the better for<br />
you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Misconception #2 &#8211; It doesn&#8217;t apply to me.</p>
<p>Many people mistakenly believe the concept of giving more in<br />
use value than you receive in cash value only applies if<br />
they own their own business.</p>
<p>Nothing could be further from the truth!</p>
<p>I hear comments all the time that go something like this:</p>
<p>&#8220;Right now I&#8217;m working for someone else so I&#8217;m doing just<br />
enough to get by, but when I get my own business *then* I&#8217;m<br />
really going to put everything I&#8217;ve got into it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Guess what?</p>
<p>Ain&#8217;t gonna happen!</p>
<p>The Universe doesn&#8217;t work that way.</p>
<p>Only when you&#8217;re making constructive use of what you have<br />
now will the Universe trust you with more.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the deal&#8230;</p>
<p>If you work for someone else, you sell your services to your<br />
employer.</p>
<p>In other words&#8230;</p>
<p>Your employer *is* your customer!</p>
<p>If you want your own business, start by giving your<br />
&#8220;customer&#8221; more in use value than you take from them in cash<br />
value.</p>
<p>Then&#8230;</p>
<p>And only then&#8230;</p>
<p>Will the Universe begin moving you toward the business you<br />
want and it toward you.</p>
<p>Misconception #3 &#8211; I have to give things away free.</p>
<p>This one never ceases to amaze me&#8230;</p>
<p>There are a whole lot of folks out there, either because<br />
they feel guilty making a profit or because they&#8217;ve bought<br />
into some Internet &#8220;new economy&#8221; nonsense, who sincerely<br />
believe if they just run around the countryside and give<br />
enough &#8220;stuff&#8221; away free they&#8217;ll somehow be magically<br />
blessed with riches.</p>
<p>Nowhere in his writings did Wallace D. Wattles ever say<br />
that, nor did he ever say anything even close to that.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact&#8230;</p>
<p>He said quite the opposite.</p>
<p>Notice, if you will, Wallace D. Wattles *didn&#8217;t* write:</p>
<p>&#8220;Give every man more in cash market value than you take from<br />
him in cash value; then you are adding to the life of the<br />
world by every business transaction.&#8221;</p>
<p>He wrote:</p>
<p>&#8220;Give every man more in use value than you take from him in<br />
cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by<br />
every business transaction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many people have this backwards.</p>
<p>The bottom line is this&#8230;</p>
<p>If you want financial success&#8230;</p>
<p>Give every person with whom you deal *more* in use value<br />
than you take from them in cash value.</p>
<p>Then&#8230;</p>
<p>As Wallace D. Wattles also wrote in &#8220;Abundance&#8221;:</p>
<p>&#8220;Everything that comes to you will mean more life to someone<br />
else. Each gain you make will add to the wealth of someone<br />
else. What you get for yourself &#8211; life &#8211; you get for all.<br />
Your success adds to the life, health, wealth and happiness<br />
of all.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>http://www.one-mind-one-energy.com  &#8211; Do we live in a holographic universe? Can the teachings of Wallace D Wattles,<br />
Charles Haanel and Mahesh Yogi show us how to attract abundance with the power of subliminals?<br />
by being in harmony with the universe?</p>

<p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);"><strong>Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here?&#160; where do we go?</strong></span></span></p>
<p>People like Wallace D Wattles, Charles Haanel, Napoleon Hill, Gregg Braden, Bob Proctor, David Wilcock, David Icke, Gerlad O&#180;Donnel, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Dr. John Hagelin and many others talk about everything being energy.</p>
<p>They talk about our universe being made up of the same formless stuff and that we all live in a thought universe. Braden also talks about the holographic universe.&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p>Each of us being a particle of the whole. </p>
<p>We are particles of a thinking universe &#8211; what professor John Hagelin calls the Unified field.</p>
<p>John Hagelin also talks about the power of mediation &#8211; and how the guru mahesh yogi from India showed the western world how we <br />could apply meditation for beginners and subconscious programming to tap into our core &#8211; our true self and learn more about who we really are. </p>
<p>Our subconscious mind is the doorway to everything. We are all born with Extra Sensory Perception and with the ability<br />to use telepathic communication &#8211; to communicate with the other side &#8211; to sense more than what our 5 senses pick up.</p>
<p>We can attract abundance into our lives because our thoughts become things. We can use subliminal learning, subliminal affirmations,<br />subliminal influence to program our subconscious mind to be in harmony with the laws of the universe.</p>
<p>All successful people are in harmony with the laws of the universe either consciously or unconsciously. </p>
<p>The power of our mind is incredible and when experts like Tony Buzan tells us that the brain thinks in pictures we can use our imagination to create mental images of what we want in our lives and the universe will reward us if we put emotions and feelings into it.</p>
<p>Live in harmony with these laws and opportunities and success will come your way.<br />It has to&#160; &#8211; it is the law. There is no other way about this. </p>
<p>We are deathless souls on a journey to learn and develop while here on earth.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8220;No man is kept poor because opportunity has been taken away from him or because other people have monopolized the wealth and have put a fence around it.&#8221; Wallace D. Wattles <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The SofGR</span></p>
<p>&#8220;No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches; there is more than enough for all.&#8221;   Wallace D. Wattles <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The SofGR</span></p>
<p>Does Bud believe there is a &#8221;shortness in the supply of riches?&#8221; </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a hard question to answer.  His actions demonstrate he may have been victim to the belief that there is a shortness of riches.  He started out well enough.  Signs indicate he was hard working, wanted to make it on his own, wanted to prove he had &#8220;insight&#8221; that others did not demonstrate.  I think in his young state, naive if you will, he thought his dogged determination would carry him through to the outcome he desired &#8211; MONEY. </p>
<p>When he meets Gordon, it&#8217;s as if he says good-bye to his innocence and gives in to Gordon&#8217;s way of doing business.  He lets go of his &#8220;work hard&#8221; ethic and moves into &#8220;work smart.&#8221;  Of course, to Bud, &#8220;work smart&#8221; means doing things Gordon&#8217;s way &#8211; getting information by whatevert means is possible and leveraging the information.</p>
<p>To read the strategy by itself, it doesn&#8217;t sound all that bad.  Unfortunately for Bud and Gordon, it&#8217;s an illegal strategy in the world of investing.</p>
<p>If Bud had truly believed in the abundance of riches, he may have been able to see that wealth unencumbered was available to him.  Perhaps he could have found a way to leverage Gekko&#8217;s power legally.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Wallace states in Chapter 2 that &#8220;Getting rich is not a matter of environment, for, if it were, all the people in certain neighborhoods would become wealthy; the people of one city would all be rich, while those of another would all be poor; or the inhabitants of one state would roll in wealth, while those of an adjoining state would be in poverty.&#8221; He goes on to state that getting rich boils down to doing things THE &#8220;certain way.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good point. We all know those in professions who work hard and do well and those who work hard and barely get by. In Bud&#8217;s case we find that he worked hard but&#8230;felt that &#8220;to be a player&#8221; you had to be in the city and you had to have Gordon Gekko as a client. His belief in that drove him to rise early daily, make the daily &#8220;Gekko&#8221; call and stay poor until he got to meet and work with the great Gekko.</p>
<p>One wonders what opportunities Bud missed having such a single vision of what success would be for him. Had he read the book and expanded his mind to embrace THE &#8220;certain way&#8221; of obtaining riches, perhaps he would have gotten to keep them, faced Gekko in battle one day and become the victor rather than the victim.</p>
<p>He and the players around him proved Wattles&#8217; theory in Chapter 2: &#8220;Talented people get rich and blockheads get rich.&#8221;</p>
<p>More later&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sebuah buku klasik (diterbitkan thn 1910) yang mengupas tentang kekayaan dipandang dari sudut ilmu pengetahuan (ilmiah). Buku ini akhirnya jadi pedoman bagi penulis-penulis dan pembicara-pembicara terkenal.</p>
<p>Dalam buku ini Wallace D. Wattles mengungkapkan bahwa semua benda yang ada di seluruh dunia ini berasal dari satu zat dasar, suatu zat tak<br />
berbentuk yang sangat cerdas. Dia juga menyatakan bahwa semesta adalah gudang kekayaan yang tak pernah kering, bahwa ada lebih dari cukup<br />
kekayaan bagi setiap penduduk bumi untuk hidup berkelimpahan. Yang harus dilakukan oleh setiap orang yang ingin menjadi kaya adalah membentuk pikiran tentang hal yang diinginkannya sehingga ia bisa &#8220;mencetak&#8221; pikiran tersebut ke zat dasar tadi.</p>
<p>Yang harus diperhatikan oleh orang-orang adalah bahwa untuk membentuk pikiran tersebut, dia juga harus memiliki perilaku yang baik, menyingkirkan persaingan, bekerja sama, dan menganut paham memberi nilai guna yang lebih tinggi daripada nilai tunai yang diterima.</p>
<p>Bila kita melakukan cara-cara yang disebutkan oleh Wattles dalam bukunya ini, kita akan mendapatkan kemakmuran sejati, secara fisik dan spiritual.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>If I am honest, I have to admit that even though I was raised with the idea that we wanted to have money, there was equal time given to scoffing at the rich.  Basically, since we were of average income at best, it was easier to laugh at those that were well off than figure out why we weren&#8217;t well off.</p>
<p>I think many of us are raised with these comments.  It&#8217;s easier to accept what you don&#8217;t have when you find fault with those who do have.</p>
<p>And so, our examination begins.</p>
<p>There is a wonderful line in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Wall Street</span> where Bud Fox looks at his dad and says, &#8220;There is no nobility in poverty.&#8221;  Would it surprise you to find out this is exactly how Wallace D. Wattles opens his 1910 classic, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Science of Getting Rich?</span> </p>
<p>&#8220;It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman, you cannot help doing so.  It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to The Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies.  If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and to humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service that to make the most of yourself.&#8221;<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> W D Wattles, TSofGR</span></p>
<p>Bud had the right idea.  He wanted to be rich.  Where things fell apart, I think, is that he didn&#8217;t know WHY he wanted to be rich.  You see, Wattles tells us that this is how we can serve our fellow man &#8211; having the most to give.  Bud wants it and wants to experience all that money can buy &#8211; but other than that &#8211; he really doesn&#8217;t have a plan for what his life will be about when he does have money.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s on <strong><em>A</em></strong> road to getting rich, but not the <strong><em>BEST</em></strong> road to getting rich. His road is leading him only to money, and not true riches that may include an abundance of money. </p>
<p>More later&#8230;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It would be a heck of a thing to say that I had the answer to all of life&#8217;s problems.  The truth is, I don&#8217;t know anything about you or your problems, and I probably don&#8217;t have the slightest clue how to solve them for you.  But you do.  The answers you seek are available to you right now.  Others have faced problems just like yours and they have persevered.  Therefore, the universal solution to all life problems (that can be solved) is simply this: Learn more. Sounds simple, right?  I&#8217;ll let you in on a little secret: Most things are.  This was mentioned earlier, in &#8220;Step Three: Your Actions.&#8221; Most people don&#8217;t advance in life because they don&#8217;t know what to do next. How do you find out what to do next?  First, identify your goal.  Second, start taking action to achieve it.  That&#8217;s the part where people get hung up.  They know what they want, but they don&#8217;t know how to get it.  Rest assured, the answers are out there.  Whatever you want to do, you can learn how to do it if you apply yourself and learn what actions you need to take in order to get what you want.  Visit your local library and pick up a few books on your selected subject.  If you&#8217;re interested in developing your personal success skills, here&#8217;s a recommended reading list:</p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Simpleology-Simple-Science-Getting-What/dp/0470095229/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1255070368&#38;sr=8-1">Simpleology</a></em> by Mark Joyner<em><br />

<em><a href="http://www.thesecret.tv/secret-treasures-ebooks.html#scienceof">The Science of Getting Rich</a></em> by Wallace D. Wattles (free download)</p>
<p>The subjects of these books are essentially all the same, but their methods vary from scientific to spiritual, so feel free to check out their summaries on Amazon.com to decide which books are right for you.  If you&#8217;re interested in something else, other information is available to you as well.  No matter who you are or what you want, the answers are out there.  Not sure what kind of car you want? Learn more. Not sure how to write a novel? Learn more. Read.  Read a lot. Visit seminars.  Watch free educational videos on YouTube.  Remember, you are always taking action.  By definition, everything you <em>do</em> is an action, so if you don&#8217;t know what action to take next, take the action of learning.  Develop your skills. Learning is how you grow into a bigger person.  If you already know everything you need to know, start applying what you&#8217;ve learned to get what you want.  If you already have the knowledge within you, you have no reason to sit on your butt while your life passes you by.  And if you don&#8217;t, you have no reason not to get out there and start learning how to achieve your goals.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>http://www.one-mind-one-energy.com/beyondthesecret.html Learn how to attract abundance by being in harmony with<br />
the cosmic law of attraction.Apply subliminals, subliminal affirmations &#38; do a mindshift</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ENFMHB8bGHM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ENFMHB8bGHM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span><!--more-->
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:x-large;"><span style="color:rgb(204,0,0);">How is it that a man like Bob Proctor who earned only $4000/year , had no friends, no network and no education ended up earning MILLIONS of Dollars in just a couple of years?</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">He did not know the answer himself until many years later. <br />He was winning in a big way while other seemingly good people in the same <br />business were loosing.</p>
<p>After almost 50 years of studying the laws of the universe and the teachings of people like Wallace D Wattles and Napoleon Hill he knows why.</p>
<p>He was working <strong>IN HARMONY</strong> with the laws of the Universe. He was activating the cosmic law of attraction. He was sharing everything he was doing with others.</p>
<p>He was excited to see other people succeed. One of the laws of the universe, The law of Cause and Effect, state that you reap what you saw.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And since Bob Proctor was sharing and putting good out he got good back. What you put out comes back.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Just like a boomerang.</p>
<p>The universe, the supreme power, is always for expansion and fuller expression and hence it will find outlets &#8211; people &#8211; where it<br />can do just that. So the more you share and give the more will come into your life.</p>
<p>Beyond the secret is a movie which goes beyond the hit movie THE Secret from 2006. <br />The Secret only talked about The Law of Attraction, but that is just one of many universal laws. In fact it is actually a secondary law based on the Law of Vibration.</p>
<p>Many successful people who teach and study the laws of the universe are featured in the Beyond the Secret movie.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">They will tell you how yo can do a mindshift to be more in harmony with the laws of the universe.&#160; They will tell you that you have what it takes to break free from ignorence and from the old paradigm that holds you back.. </p>

<p><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">Who are we?&#160; Where do we come from?&#160; Why are we here? where do we go?</span><br /></span><br />People like Wallace D Wattles, Charles Haanel, Napoleon Hill, Gregg Braden, Bob Proctor and many others<br />talk about everything being energy.</p>
<p>They talk about our universe being made up of the same formless stuff and that we all live in a thought universe.<br />Braden also talks about the holographic universe.&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p>Each of us being a particle of the whole. </p>
<p>We are particles of a thinking universe &#8211; what professor John Hagelin calls the Unified field.<br />John Hagelin also talks about the power of mediation &#8211; and how the guru mahesh yogi from India showed the western world how we <br />could apply meditation for beginners and subconscious programming to tap into our core &#8211; our true self and learn more about who we really are. </p>
<p>Our subconscious mind is the doorway to everything. We are all born with Extra Sensory Perception and with the ability<br />to use telepathic communication &#8211; to communicate with the other side &#8211; to sense more than what our 5 senses pick up.</p>
<p>We can attract abundance into our lives because our thoughts become things. We can use subliminal learning, subliminal affirmations,<br />subliminal influence to program our subconscious mind to be in harmony with the laws of the universe.</p>
<p>All successful people are in harmony with the laws of the universe either consciously or unconsciously. </p>
<p>The power of our mind is incredible and when experts like Tony Buzan tells us that the brain thinks in pictures we can use our imagination<br />to create mental images of what we want in our lives and the universe will reward us if we put emotions and feelings into it</p>
<p>Live in harmony with these laws and opportunities and success will come your way.<br />It has to&#160; &#8211; it is the law. There is no other way about this. </p>
<p>We are deathless souls on a journey to learn and develop while here on earth.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles</p>
<p><strong>The Science of Getting Rich</strong> <em>is a success classic book written by <a title="Author:Wallace D. Wattles" href="http://nenanamessenger.wordpress.com/wiki/Author:Wallace_D._Wattles">Wallace D. Wattles</a> in 1910.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h2>In life people have dreams of being rich, owning a big house, driving a nice car, etc,etc. But does money really buy you happiness?  Maybe for the short time that you are here on Earth. The true riches I am talking about can only be found at your final destination. I sit here with a book that was bought for me by a friend. He bought it at a bargain of a price at Barnes and Noble for $7.98. It is called The Science Of Success by Wallace D. Wattles. Within the book lies a wealth of information. Here is a quote from Wattles &#8220;He must keep in mind the Purpose to get rich through the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to act in a successful manner.&#8221; I would have to say my big dream started out as a big joke one night while I sat in the nursery of the hospital. It was a busy night for the nursery nurses. Most of the babies were bottle fed that night. I held a baby in my arms and proceeded to give the baby it&#8217;s bottle. As always the conversations between the nurses varied and then I said&#8230;&#8230;.Someday I want to be a doula. I told them about a conversation I had with a local doula. She actually made more money than I did for one night of work after taxes. I said something is wrong with that picture. The nursery nurses joked around if they could come and work for me when I started my business. They asked me what I would name my business and I said ___________. Fast forward to today. Today I am close to my vision of owning my own business. There are certain things that need to be done. I have found a great mentor and I am learning something new all the time. The business of childbirth is ever changing. Although the process is the same. The new way is to empower women in the journey through childbirth. Doulas are leading the way.</h2>

<p>Wallace D. Wattles w &#8220;<a title="The Science Of Getting Rich" href="http://www.prawdziwysekret.pl/">Naukowej metodzie wzbogacania się</a>&#8221; bazuje właśnie na tej myśli.

<p>Nie ma tutaj mowy o <strong>wyrzekaniu się życia, o poświęcaniu się, cierpieniu</strong>&#8230; Jest za to mowa o <strong>tworzeniu, wzrastaniu, rozwijaniu się, zdobywaniu mocy, inspirowaniu współbraci</strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello Friends:</p>
<p>A most remarkable thing happened on May 11, 2009.</p>
<p>On that day, in <strong>The <em>Alive with Clive</em> TV Show MagEzine</strong>, I announced that I would be presenting <strong>The First <em>Alive with Clive</em> Top 20 Concert</strong> at Waltz-Astoria featuring three musical performers in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong>.</p>
<p>The purpose of this concert is to continue to raise awareness about <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> and my goal to raise at least a billion dollars, for people suffering from AIDS in South Africa, from the sale of the <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> compilation CD (or a downloadable version) featuring a song from each musician who ends up in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> on the day voting ends.</p>
<p>To see <strong>The <em>Alive with Clive</em> TV Show MagEzine</strong> dated May 11, 2009, <strong><a href="http://alivewithclive.tv/MagEzines/MagEzine051109.htm">click here</a></strong>.   And to see the <strong>Press Release</strong> announcing this concert, <a href="http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200905/1242356925.html"><strong>click here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Through a remarkable coincidence, in a Press Release dated May 11, 2009, too, (RED) and Live Nation, the largest producer of live concerts in the world, announced that they are collaborating to link acclaimed artists, including Santigold, Gomez, O.A.R., Fall Out Boy, Lisa Hannigan, The Veronicas and The All-American Rejects, with their fans through the creation of (RED)NIGHTS, a series of 26 live concerts at select Live Nation clubs and theaters in the U.S. to raise money and awareness for the ultimate goal of eliminating AIDS in Africa.</p>
<p>As noted in their Press Release:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Bringing the (RED) experience to life in a new way, (RED)NIGHTS and the community of participating artists will come together to use great live music to raise awareness of (RED)’s primary objective – to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.  With each live show, (RED)NIGHTS hopes to inspire fans to participate in (RED)’s mission, highlight the many ways to get involved beyond the concert and encourage people to share the message and experience with others.  Ultimately, it is the goal of (RED)NIGHTS to build a community – of artists, concertgoers and music fans everywhere – that is passionate about helping to save lives in Africa.  A portion of the proceeds of each (RED)NIGHTS concert goes directly to the Global Fund (theglobalfund.org).</p>
<p>To see the entire Press Release in a pdf document, <strong><a href="http://alivewithclive.tv/PressReleases/REDNights051109.pdf">click here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Skeptics may doubt that 26 concerts will do much good, but in my opinion this announcement by RED and Live Nation, which produces over 22,000 concerts for 1,600 artists in 33 countries a year, and sold over 50 million concert tickets and drove over 70 million unique visitors to LiveNation.com during 2008, represents a <strong>GIANT</strong> step in the fight to eliminate AIDS in Africa.</p>
<p>Here’s why:</p>
<p>When you look around and see the kinds of people who are able to generate massive support for different causes, you’ll realize that musicians who are famous have the power to create a major impact in a short amount of time.</p>
<p>Look back at major concert events in history:  Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005 and Live Earth in 2007, for example, were all made possible by the immense popularity of the musicians involved.</p>
<p>So, when you become aware of the forces involved here, it quickly becomes apparent that musicians more than any other group have the capacity to cause major enhancements in living conditions all over the world – if their power is harnessed in the right way.</p>
<p>I am therefore pleased to see the announcement about the (RED)NIGHTS concerts because it represents a manifestation that influential executives in the entertainment industry and philanthropic circles are beginning to deploy this power possessed by musicians to make a sustained and powerful difference in the world systematically and synergistically.</p>
<p>Here is the Press Release I have just issued about the (RED)NIGHTS series of concerts:</p>
<p><strong>PRESS RELEASE</strong></p>
<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong><strong>                                    </strong></p>
<p><strong>FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT:  CLIVE SWERSKY  (914) 274-8280</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Alive with Clive&#8217;s</strong><strong><em> Clive Believes </em></strong><strong>(RED)NIGHTS Live Nation<em> Concerts Are A GIANT Step To Combat AIDS!</em></strong></p>
<p>In a recent announcement, (RED) and Live Nation announced that 26 upcoming concerts will go (RED) to help combat AIDS in Africa.  Skeptics might be wondering how much good it will do to have 26 concerts go (RED).  But Clive Swersky, host and producer of <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> and creator of <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> believes that the announcement to have these concerts go (RED) represents a GIANT step on the road to the elimination of AIDS in Africa.</p>
<p>Last year, Clive announced his intention to raise at least a billion dollars for people suffering from AIDS in South Africa from the sale of a compilation CD (or a downloadable version) featuring songs of musicians he has interviewed on <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> who end up in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> on the date voting ends, so he has been paying close attention to actions being taken by (RED) to eliminate AIDS in Africa.</p>
<p>&#8220;I commend the executives at (RED) for the innovative steps they are implementing &#8212; first with the creation of (RED)WIRE, their online digital music service, and now (RED)NIGHTS &#8212; to raise funds for the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria,&#8221; says Clive, &#8220;and I look forward to collaborating with them soon to realize my goal of raising at least a billion dollars for the Global Fund from the sale of the <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> compilation CD.&#8221;</p>
<p>Coincidentally, on May 11, 2009, the same day (RED) and Live Nation made their announcement about the (RED)NIGHTS series of concerts, Clive also announced that <strong>The First <em>Alive with Clive</em> Top 20 Concert </strong>&#8211; to raise awareness about <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> and his goal to raise at least a billion dollars from the sale of the <strong><em>Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> compilation CD for people suffering from AIDS in South Africa &#8212; will take place at <strong>Waltz-Astoria</strong> on <strong>May 30, 2009</strong>, from <strong>8 p.m. to 11 p.m.</strong>  </p>
<p>This concert will feature three musical performers from <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong>:  <strong>Anthony Melillo and The Melillo Brothers</strong>, <strong>Serotenen</strong>, and <strong>Jessica Labus</strong>.  <strong>Anthony Melillo</strong>, who recently released his debut CD, <strong><em>Just Gettin&#8217; Started</em></strong>, has been at the top of <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> since it&#8217;s inception.  <strong>Serotonen</strong> is currently in sixth place and <strong>Jessica Labus</strong> is 11th.</p>
<p>More than 40 video clips of songs performed on <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> are available for viewing on <strong>The<em> Alive with Clive </em>TV Channel on<em> YouTube</em></strong> at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/high5clive"><strong>http://www.youtube.com/high5clive</strong></a>.  In addition, video clips of musicians who are currently in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> can be seen on <strong>Clive Swersky&#8217;s Blog</strong> at <a href="http://cliveswersky.wordpress.com/"><strong>http://cliveswersky.wordpress.com</strong></a>. </p>

<p>Like (RED), the (RED)NIGHTS concerts also represent another dynamic example of synergistic philanthrocapitalism<sup>TM</sup> in action. </p>
<p>For those of you who are not yet familiar with the term, synergistic philanthrocapitalism<sup>TM</sup>, which I regard as “The exciting new way to do business so that <em>everybody</em> wins,” visit <strong><a href="http://www.synergisticphilanthrocapitalism.com/">www.synergisticphilanthrocapitalism.com</a></strong>, the Web site I established where I explain the events leading up to the creation of this term.  I have also outlined my plan there to raise at least a billion dollars from the sale of the <strong><em>Alive with Clive</em></strong> compilation CD, which I submitted to <strong>Google</strong> as part of my application to win funding through <strong><a href="http://www.project10tothe100.com/">Google’s Project 10<sup>100</sup></a></strong>.</p>
<p>If I were a musician in contention for a slot in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong>, I’d be doing whatever I can to generate as many votes as possible on a daily basis because it’s highly likely that, due to these recent developments in efforts to combat AIDS in Africa, much more attention will be paid by music fans to musicians in contention for a slot in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> in the weeks ahead.  And if you are a fan of any of the musicians in contention for a slot in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> and you want to see the musician or band you support benefit from the increased attention that is likely to be bestowed on musicians in contention for a slot in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong>, it would be a good idea to rally support among your friends for the musician or band you are supporting and organize votes to be cast on a daily basis for the musician or band.</p>
<p>Additional interest in musicians in contention for a slot in <strong><em>The Alive with Clive Top 20</em></strong> will also be generated when the upcoming contest to find <strong><em>The Most Inspiring Song Sung On Alive with Clive So Far!</em></strong> gets underway soon.  Over the past few weeks, several of the songs that will be in this contest have been posted on this Blog and can all be found in one place in the archives on this Blog for “Inspiring Song Contest” under Categories.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Today I went in search of a book about a woman entrepreneur at Border’s and though unable to find the book despite concerted efforts by a staff member there, whose spirit reminded me of greater things than the tasks he was being curtly reminded of, I found instead this book “The Science of Being Great” by Wallace D. Wattles, an influential writer in the late nineteenth century. A small paperback, roughly 130ish odd pages, tucked away in the “Business Life” section.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I thought upon spontaneously picking up this book, why not? What is it to be great? How does one become great? Wallace’s writing interested me from the moment I sat down to read the first few lines.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Succinct, to the point. Poised and powerful.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">The words leapt off the page at me.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I am thirsty.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I hunger for some knowledge.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Life is confusing.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">It has been a hard year but a good one too.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I have learned many things and unlearned many things and no one, no matter how sweet and wonderful, could protect me from often harsh experiences.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">And from that, what? I think I needed resistance sufficiently to finally scream and throw things down (internally) to decide: What am I doing with my life? What’s the point? What now? How?…I digress..</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Let me return to the book again. This book is powerful, it is delightful, it incites you to action. It speaks of things I have been thinking about, conversations that I have had with others yet not known the answers to.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Love. What is it?</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Compassion.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Yes, I can see this physical body that I have. I can experience these thoughts of my mind, ever changing, ever acting.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">But what of Spirit? Spirit does not compel you to action, to thought, to everything?</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I think about God. What is God? I thirst to know.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">God is mysterious.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Wallace writes, “<strong>Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood</strong>.”</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">He speaks of a world that is “<strong>perfect and incomplete</strong>,” rather than a civilization that is dying or in need of perpetual rescue.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">The first is positive, uplifting, and expansive in its embrace while the latter confines, restricts, and warns of doom. For example, he offers the root of a lily and how that can be unsightly:” <strong>But how foolish should we be to condemn the bulb for its appearance when we know the lily is within it</strong>.”</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I remember being in first grade and our teacher showed us how to make impressions of coins on paper, rubbing the sides of the paper over the coin with a black crayon. I was thrilled to see the face of Abraham Lincoln show up on my paper. It thrilled me no end. I felt I was bringing some part of him back to life so I spent hours at home that evening happily filling many pages with his impression.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">

<p style="line-height:17px;font:normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana;color:#666666;text-align:center;margin:0;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5 aligncenter" title="Lincoln" src="http://rosiebella.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lincoln1865.jpg?w=245" alt="Lincoln" width="245" height="300" /></p>

<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Wallace drew me in because of his ability to describe the human condition in gentle, compassionate, and deeply positive ways and his ability of fine discernment. I only wish I could have met him and hugged him.He explains that which befuddles and confuses me, and swiftly addresses topics that have caused me anguish with clarity and great insight. He leads you so clearly to understand and to appreciate life.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Greatness. What is it?</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Compassion, kindness, clear thinking, decisive actions, humility, the willingness to serve, the recognition of beauty, goodness, and divinity in everyone.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I think about Lincoln again. Lincoln was just beautiful. How can you resist such a man who acted with such kindness and from Spirit?</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">From <em>Wallace</em>: “<strong>Do not let other people decide what you are to be. Be what you feel that you want to be.</strong>“And then this: “You will manifest greatness only when you begin to stand alone. Dismiss all thoughts of reliance on externals, whether things, books, or people. As Emerson said, ‘Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.’ Shakespeare will be made by the thinking of Shakespearean thoughts.</p>

<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">“When my dear beloved Rosie, my dog and faithful companion for eight years, died this past May 2007, I felt my heart break into two. I thought the world was an unforgiving place. A Light that I knew had been blown out. The best Love that I have ever experienced – joyous, faithful, ever positive, ever believing, ever trusting – had left me. So many people had said to me (they were well-meaning but did not understand), “It’s just a dog, Jan. You can get another one.”</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Rosie? Rosie was and is so much more than that!</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I did not know what to say. Rosie was so much more than a dog.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6" title="Rosie bella" src="http://rosiebella.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/img_1299-thumbnail-jpg.jpeg" alt="Rosie bella" width="128" height="96" /></p>

<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">If a dog has limitations in our world wrought upon by our current society conditions, then Rosie tried her best to live out her full creative expression as best as she could. She was loving, kind, compassionate, beautiful, and wonderful always.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">She showed me what Love is everyday. What more could I ask for? The Spirit within her was divine. When I cry and miss her, I still know in my heart that every minute she had with me was joyous and good. She focused on the best part of me and every person she had an interaction with. That is just incredible. It brought out the best in people.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">I think that divine spirit within her that beauty…I have experienced so deeply. How glorious is that? What must it be then like to experience God?Spirit of white and gold…I wonder what it is that William Blake saw. Perhaps he felt that.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Our spirits within us, that compel us to grow, to learn, to question, to try…to love…I think that that is part of the Spirit.</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">love,</p>
<p style="line-height:17px;font:12px Verdana;color:#666666;margin:0;">Jan.</p>
