Success Strategies Short and Sweet, Well... Short and Colorful

Frequently you will hear or read me talk about using resources.  With today's technology "how to" can be answered with just a little bit of intensive effort.  IF you have reviewed earlier blogs which you can do at NO EXPENSE, you will have noted links to ted.com.  Here is a short video from TED featuring entrepreneur and author, Richard St John. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. Some of the worlds most successful people are in attendance and are speakers and you have FREE ACCESS.  The featured speaker attached to this link offers "8 Secrets of Success."  If you can handle one reference using the word "a**hole" sit back and enjoy some powerful, albeit brief, food for thought... and action.

Don"t Wait Participate!

As you pursue your education sometimes you may observe yourself sort of "hanging out" as if life weren't "official" until you graduate.  Well, yes and no... Certain responsibilities may defer until after graduation and to really be prepared for what lies ahead you may want to engage yourself in more activities and conduct more sessions of introspection to better know yourself.  These are indeed challenging times and challenging times call for us to be more conscious which can be a very good thing.

You should be certain to have big fun as your work to get things done.
Understand that YOU are the ONE to paint the dream, to create the scene
in between your birth and your passing.
Life is not everlasting so take the time now to do the casting
of the movie of your life.

Think about what you want to do, what is important to you and test the waters too.  That is what this time is for, you to peek through many a door until you see a path you want to take.  Don't over analyze almost any road can lead to the prize as long as you keep the faith and keep your spirit open to the possibilities.  SO, like the Microsoft brand used to say, "Where do you want to go Today?"
