QUOTE: On solving
problems: "If
we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because
the answer is not separate from the problem." Jiddu Krishnamurti (writer). "Every
problem contains the seeds of its own solution." Stanley

answers but rather understand the questions.”

some sad news. According to the Slidell
Independent, the State plan to cut the budget means that K-Bar-B may close

for our participation in Red Day in 2011.

I have an answering machine in my
car. It says, "I'm home now, but leave a message and I'll call when I'm
out."
WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret?” From Page 97. On the subject of creating WRITTEN GOALS. “In the Yale graduating class of 1953, 3 percent had specific goals that were written down. Twenty years later they went back andsurveyed the same graduates and found that not only were the 3% happier andmore fulfilled, but they were also worth more monetarily than the other 97% put together. Why? Well, when they met their original goals they went back and marked themoff and wrote new ones. Their minds(their own personal computers) work to make it happen.” www.MichaelPDunn.org

BRICK WALLS: By
Joe Tye (my hero and mentor) Sometimes,
as Randy Pausch said, brick walls are there to make you prove how much you want
something. And sometimes they are there
to alert you that you are on the wrong path in life. The challenge is often discerning what sort
of wall you have just smashed into, and then facing down your fears and doing
what you must do - which is the point of today's Promise from The
Self-Empowerment Pledge: I will do the things I'm afraid to do but
which I know should be done. Sometimes
this will mean asking for help to do that which I cannot do by myself. Read the rest of Joe Tye’s Spark Plug Ezine at: http://goo.gl/GCfQT
