John C Maxwell

As I am working on the 25% Promotion for John C. Maxwell, who is a very good author (just do a search on him and read about him), flipping thru books by him..and was captured by his many teachings...

Like to share a few here:

In the Book THINKING FOR A CHANGE -John C Maxwell
1. Everything begins with a thought. "Life consists of what a man is thinking about all day." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

2. What we think determines who we are. Who we are determines what we do. "The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts." - John Locke

3. Our thoughts determines our destiny. Our destiny determines our legacy. " You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." James Allen

4. People who go to the top think differently than others. "Nothing limits achievements like small thinking; Nothing expands possibilities like unleashed thinking." - William Arthur Ward

5. We can change the way we think. " Whatever things are true..noble..just..pure..lovely...are of good reports, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praisworthy; think on these things." - Paul The Apostle.

"Nurture great thoughts, for you will never go higher than your thoughts." - Benjamin Disraeli.

What one thing do all successful people have in common? What one thing separates those who go to the top from those who never seem to get there? The answer: Good Thinking! Those who embrace good thinking as a lifestyle understand the relationship between their level of thinking and their level of progress. They also realise that to change their lives, they must change their thinking.

"One of the reasons people don't achieve their dreams is that they desire to change their result without changing their thinking."

"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an invasion of ideas."- Victor Hugo

"Progress is often just a good idea away."

"A belief is not just an idea that you possess; it is an idea that possesses you."

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
