Achieving success is everybody's goal for life and there are absolutely
many different approaches
that can lead people to success. Some people choose to be normal to wait for chances, while some other people prefer to be different from everyone else. Which one is the promising way to succeed? In my opinion, I believe that once you are unique enough, you are already on the way to success.
Everybody is different and unique in their own way. When someone thinks of diversity they think of skin color, race or ethnicity, but diversity can mean other things too. Diversity can also be how unique you are from other people. I live in a country that has a wide range of different culture and religion.
Learning new things about someone's background teaches me to understand that person instead of making a judgment on her/his race.
I am open to meeting new people of different backgrounds and understanding their different interests, As we all are .....
living in
"a competitive world",
we are like playing a survival game. Only who has the sharpest brains can survive. If you don't make yourself outstanding enough else you fail to distinguish yourself from others, you will be easily replaced and eliminated by someone who is better than you.
I believe that once you are unique enough, you are already on the way to success.
being different and unique is the better way to achieve success. It not only shows your competence but also creates your own value, making you take the lead in your way towards success.
there is a lot of different directions one can try ....which
is that fundamental belief that guides me each and every day to find my special gifts, to become a better person, and to make a difference in some small way in someone’s life. Maybe it is just a smile to a stranger that comes at the right time or an act of compassion to feed a starving dog. Each small thing adds a little bit to our common good. Each of us unknowingly adds many small seaming meaningless things each day that are unique to each of us to the lives of everyone and everything we come in contact with:

a state visit to Moscow, Billie Bradford, the beautiful and brilliant wife of the President of the United States, is abducted by the Soviets and replaced by Vera Vazilova, a superbly trained Russian undercover agent and actress who is the First Lady's physical double.
As brilliant as every other Irving Wallace book. A great thriller with enough twists and turns to keep you at the edge of the seat provided one believes the preposterous feat conceived by the author. Ignoring Guy Parker's amateurish detective skills and obvious deductions, the book still does its magic.
Great book! I have read ittwicethroughout ! The Second Lady is in reference to a Russian lady who is a body double of the American President's wife. A Soviet spymaster comes up with the idea to train the Russian body double and swap her with the First Lady to learn the American President's military secrets....,
The Second Lady
Book by Irving Wallace...

After the joys and trials of single motherhood, the kids are grown, what's next? Well, pick up journaling, traveling, for goodness sake do something! But never let boredom and depression set in.

The truth about love is that it is so bound up with regret that it seems impossible to separate the two. You regret the words you said, which you didn’t realize would come out so badly. You regret how vulnerable you let yourself be, how you cracked open your chest to reveal your still beating heart.

You regret all the chances you gave, the forgiveness you bled so freely. You regret the time not spent together, the days you sat side by side on the couch both engrossed in your laptops. You regret the time wasted arguing or sulking or spent in a state of deliberate misunderstanding.


You regret the beginning, because it could only ever lead to this. You regret the ending, because of everything you’ll never get back. You try so hard not to regret everything in between, but you do. You do.

How charitable are you?


If you had a lot of money and want to donate to a program, which one would it be?


Why?


What are the closest things in your heart that you would want to get carried out or changed, or improved?

Me personally, I come from a proverty stricken country and ignorance and health care is very difficult. I would definitely put all my efforts in this regard.

NOTE: Bill Gates has compeltely taken care of the almost absolute eradication of polio in the world. And so many other things his $40 billion dollars donation is taking care of.


Thank you all for your participation...

NOTE: THIS IS NOT ABOUT ADVERTISING WHAT WE DO TO HELP PEOPLE, SIMPLY TO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER ON THIS GREAT UNDERTAKING. HOW CAN OTHERS EMULATE US IF NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO INITIATE IT? It definitely is not that arrogant attitude of giving, look at me attitude. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.


Have a nice day/evening my dear readers and fellow bloggers.

Yesterday I was attacked in my garden by a rabid butterfly, and at first I thought it was minor, but not long after the savage attack life seemed to change.

Now I want a baby and a cute matching woman, so if anyone is interested let me know, the ideal age is past the nappy stage, so perhaps 35 years and older.

I am somewhat house trained and although a messy person I’m willing to learn to put things in the right places, IE plates in the kitchen not in my desk drawers, I promise to stop mooning my fridge too.

I also want a clean cloth, eating at my desk I have bread crumbs and soggy tomato splashes, I cleaned it up with a lettuce leaf, surely that’s not the best thing to do.

So if you can either be a baby over 35 or tell me how to get a cleaning cloth I would be happy to hear from you.

....not merely due to such dreadful Maine winter weather. And more than just having to put up with such a crazy US POTUS. ( Even though I applaud some of the promises he"s actually keeping, as some of us have blogged on here.) Actually working on dual citizenship, based on family ties here. Spoke the Azorean Portuguese dialect as a boy, growing up in an Island community near Boston, but it slowly disappeared over the years, being replaced by other tongues. But the passive vocabulary remains, so I'm learning, via Duo Lingo on line, and total immersion here. And my cousins who have been successful with this goal, tell me the bureaucratic Portuguese migration language exam is murder, even for such a one in a kind brilliant homem such as I---well, perhaps Trump is just a bit more intelligent. But I digress. Not for everyone, the life here, ---thin jacket winter climate, cobblestone streets, outdoor cafes, public organic markets, decent art and university scene, lovely people, simpler life style, deadly crazy drivers, adorable women, men much less attractive than me, white wine to die for (reds are just OK), great 5.0 beer, killer 420-for those unlike me, interesting flora and fauna for backpacking, incredible local food, and all at the lowest prices in western Europe. But don't take my word for it. VISIT some day---very affordable vacations, if done like the disturbingly cheap bastard that I am. Mr. Prenuptial Man-Vierk.

Because we don’t know how to handle negativity. We can identify it. But we don’t handle it well. And continually striving for ultimate satisfaction with
abandon and disregard of the reality of what that will entail leaves us inevitably and ultimately disappointed.

Because we struggle to see a hard time or negative feeling as a natural process that doesn’t necessarily detract from our overall satisfaction, but meaning allows us to. If we’re gauging by only happiness however, every negative feeling is a strike against our overall fulfillment, so to say.

Working for meaning as opposed to happiness keeps us aware of the fact that having and processing different emotions isn’t just normal, it’s healthy. It keeps us in tune with the fact that great things do indeed usually require some suffering, and that our lives wouldn’t be what they are
without that...

For those who manage to evade the constant bombardment of caustic shyte flinging, attention whoring, self promotion and the inexhaustable blathering of one's misguided ideologies....I applaud you.

the all important question.

"Did your repair of the lawnmower's pull cord pass a field test?"

LoL, yes, that is important to know. What good is a repair that doesn't work?

So, in the interest of settling any doubts, after returning the assembly to the source mower, I made this short video.





This mower had sat outside for a long time after the cord broke before I brought it inside. I believe moisture got into the fuel line either during the winter months or the spring rains. In any case you will note the initial hesitation and white smoke. Not to worry. It soon burned off the moisture and the hesitations stopped. All is good. I used this mower today with no problems.
