To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk to failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow,But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free.
Being true to yourself is the goal, and only you know if you’re giving 110% and if you can reach down inside yourself and pull out more.
The path to success is a challenge; one of the strategies that are useful is giving yourself a written list. To create a successful list, you must give yourself a goal; make it a small goal, at first, just to prove to yourself that it is possible to succeed, then increase it daily and you will find the goals get a life of its own and will grow and grow.
Deadlines and time constraints are a pain in the butt, but if you set them up and work to accomplish them, they can be very useful tools.
Looking at my time in school I always waited to the last minute to finish my homework or work on the school project, I always maintained a solid C average, much to my parents displeasure, and after my report card arrived, mine too. I didn’t learn till much later in life that if something is important, you have to give it the importance in your mind also. When we are faced with a difficult task, one that we are not sure how to complete, we find excuses not to do it till later, why do today what can be put off till tomorrow.
Get a piece of paper and a pen, don’t use your computer, writing something down gives the idea power, and you need all the power you can get, write it down on several sheets of paper, then post them all over the house, do this for two reasons, one writing it down makes your mind remember it better, two if you take those several sheets of paper and post them all over the house, where you will see them several times a day, then you never have the excuse you forgot. It helps keep the desire alive,
List what you need to do next, try not to jump ahead to something that needs to be done next week, it is important you place the items in the correct order. If you don’t follow the steps in order, then it is just a test of your writing skills, and a waste of your time.
If you don’t find fixes, your dreams will be nothing more than pipe dreams.

Waiting is a trap.
Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait...The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don’t count.
Embarking on a new idea is a frustrating and daunting task, you will run into problems and more problems. One fix is to call on your friends and family, yes I know I said earlier not to tell them, but if you use your head and go about it in a way that keeps the fundamental nature of the project to yourself, then you can use all the people around you to get more ideas.
There is an old principle call the Master Mind, it states that the more minds you have working on one idea the better the idea will become, and the more feasible that you will have a positive outcome.
Just realize most of your friends and family would never intentionally put you down, or your idea down, it is the unintentional words that make you doubt yourself. So never let yourself be placed into the defensive mind set where you feel you have to defend your idea.

We can only win by
We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.
The bottom line, that wonderful thing that all companies and people look at, some time in your life you will encounter it. No matter how good an idea or request is, or even how the person you are talking to feels about it, they have a responsibility to make sure they give nothing that isn’t going to give a return, to their or the companies bottom line.
You will be told no more times in your life than you will ever be told yes. One interesting fact, there are 946 billionaires in this world, two-thirds of them started with nothing, and 50 of them were high school or collage dropouts.
If you can reach down into yourself and find the drive that comes from your burning desire to win, and the persistence to keep at it, no matter what obstacles life throws at you, winning is within your reach. I can promise one thing you will hear more no’s than you ever thought existed, but one yes makes up for a lot of them.

You will get what you ask for
The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects.”
When things go wrong, are you one of the people that just know, it is someone else’s fault. I have run across people my whole life that, every time something goes wrong it is never their fault. And the problem doesn’t just include the person that is whining, it is passed down from generation to generation. How many parents do you know, that their child can do no wrong, why someone else told or made him/her do what ever it is they did wrong, it is the other persons fault, not my child he/she is perfect, they would never do that. We can see the results of this in the disrespect and total disregard of you or your property by so many of the kids running the streets. How many times have you heard you can’t tell me what to do your not my parent. I am so tired of people blaming the school system, the police or anyone in authority. You only have to look at the children of the movie stars, how many make the front page after being arrested, our prison system is packed with perfect children, and the statistics are appalling.
If you’re one of the people who are being picked on and it is never your fault then, you need to realize, you are doomed to failure, because you can not correct a fault that you don’t even know exists. You have blinded yourself to your own faults.
If your willing to overcome this defect in your character, you can succeed, it all comes down to how hard your willing to look within yourself and make the changes that are necessary, because if it is to hard for you to accomplish then you can plan on failure. You will get what you ask for.

Every day you may make progress
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
I take great joy in the journey that is life, the wonders that are there for the taking. They are the small things, a walk in the rain, a beautiful snow covered mountain, any sight or touch you can find enjoyment in. A true love is perhaps the most wondrous of things; to know that a person in this world has your back, no matter what comes.
Without doubt having another person in your life makes things easier, but if you don’t then you must reach down inside yourself, find the strength that is there and make life happen for you. They say there is a person in this old world for everyone, and at times you will doubt that, but take heart, in time all things are possible.
I have had friends that came to me and told me of their loneliness, but in time they found the one that was their destiny. The amazing thing is, it didn’t take very long for it to happen.
So keep your focus on your idea and keep plugging away at it, love and friendship will take care of themselves.

Without change, something sleeps inside us
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
Have you ever done something that just didn’t work out, no matter how hard you try? Sometimes it is really hard to give up on an idea, one that has torn your heart out, it happens in all things.
Did you give 110%, only you know if you have given all you have, or not. We all have a little voice inside of us; call it conscious or what ever name you have given it. This little voice always tells the truth, the key is to listen to it, even if you don’t like what it is telling you.

the present comes as no surprise
"For a person who lives 100 years in the future, the present comes as no surprise."
Have you ever notice, when the new gadget comes on the market, your first thought is good idea. Your not surprised, if anything, jealousy might be the emotion that you feel, not a bad kind of jealousy but the, aw shit I wish I would have thought of that, kind of envy.
When those great new items surface, the one that awes the public, we as inventors are not surprised, maybe because, we think in tomorrow.
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, I will bet that there were a few people around that just were not surprised. Those of us that realize, that by nature, mankind is an inventive soul; we find solutions, no matter what the problem.
If your one of those that is surprised by all that happens around you then start using your imagination, you will find that you can have new ideas that are your very own. This will set you one a path to fulfillment.

"He who angers you conquers you."
"He who angers you conquers you."
There will be times in your life that someone will anger you, it might be when you present your wonderful idea to a person you are trying to get to invest in you, and they can’t see what you see. If you get angry and let it overwhelm you, then you will lose.
We all have times in our lives when we lose our tempers, and there are some that can’t control their temper no matter what. People that fail to control their temper will find they have no friends, others will avoid them.
I have always found that I can do so much more but maintaining my self control, and as I have gotten older it becomes much easier.
So if your one of those that can’t/won’t control your temper, be prepared for the trouble that are destined to follow you, till you do change.

I look to the future
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
So where will you be in 5 years, 10 years, will you be the success you see in your mind right now, or will you be stuck in the same place you are right now. Only you can determine where you will be and how you will get there.
It is so easy to procrastinate, or worse yet just give up. Why, because it is too hard and you are quitting, that is the easy path. I would hope you have the guts to stick it out, and if you should fail it will not be because you quit.
Failing makes you feel terrible, but if you can learn a lesson from it, one that is so deeply engraved into your soul that you never repeat the mistakes that contributed to it.
Just remember, you are in control of your destiny, no one else.

"True friends stab you in the front."
"True friends stab you in the front."
Friends what would we do without them, and some times we wonder what we will do with them. I have stated before, the worse person to discuss your idea with will be friends and family. They don’t understand what you are doing and will never have your passion for your project, and the passion is your driving force,
But the one thing I can say about them is, they will be there when times get hard and I promise times will get hard, and sometimes it is good to have someone to lean on and know that they will be there for you, no matter what.
They will want you to succeed, but they can’t understand that it takes time; no great idea has been accomplished over night. But the true friend will stand by you till it is done, they may complain and complain some more, but if you have chosen well, they will still give as much as they can. Just remember what they have given you is no less than you owe them, when that final goal is reached.

Those who dance are thought mad by those who do not hear the music.
Take a step back and look at yourself, if you have the courage to examine yourself, perhaps you can find the faults that have ruled your life, and if we should find those faults then perhaps we can fix ourselves.
The most dangerous word we use is a simple one, “IF” how many times have you used it, IF I ONLY. It is an excuse, nothing more. Reaching deep inside ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, but when we overcome it, success is right around the corner. But it requires you be totally honest, with you. It is so easy to lie to ourselves; it becomes second nature we don’t even realize we are doing it. If you should question yourself, find a true friend, one that you trust, and ask them point blank to tell you what your weakness are. If they are a true friend, and they know you will not get upset with them, they will tell you the truth. And don’t be surprised if the truth hurts, and if you doubt it ask several more friends, and compare the results, if you get enough truth you can find out what you need to know.
The truth is out there, so it is up to you to find it.

"We don't know who we are until we see what we can do."
Moving from the idea to the prototype is an interesting time, when that great idea turns into something that just doesn’t work the way it should. You will find yourself making modifications to modifications, it is a pain in the butt, but if you believe in your idea, you will find a way to make it work.
You have reached the time in the process that will test your ability to fix the problems that arise. I would hope you have the skill to think around the box and not get stuck in it.
There is an old term called the Master Mind, when you have several minds thinking about the same thing, you will come up with answers, Thomas Edison used it, and we see what kind of results he got, well you might not be Thomas Edison but, you can do great things, just keep plugging away, and in time you will fix the problems.

"The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it."
There is nothing more frustrating than seeing a problem and not having the tools to fix it. Any problem can be fixed; we just have to know where to find the tools to fix it. There are several methods, the first one is find a mentor, a person that has been there done that will be invaluable. They are out there, no matter where you live, find the retired business owner. Never under estimate the knowledge that a retired person has. The one advantage a retired person has is that they have the time to answer your questions; they have the experience you lack.
A second method is to go to your computer and start researching, sometimes you won’t know the key word to use, one trick is to place a Thesaurus on your desktop, it will be invaluable. Be prepared to spend lots of time on your computer, it can be frustrating sometimes, but in the end it is well worth it. Learning is a wonderful thing; all your friends will be asking you questions, because they know you will have their answers.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.
Fear something we all have, even if we won’t/can’t admit it. Everyone has fear, it will manifest itself in some manner. If it was your first big love or your first time speaking before a group of people, and it didn’t matter if you were 9 or 99 some things in life are scary, especially the first time you do it.
Now let’s suppose your fear is heights, can you imagine how scared you would be, jumping out of an airplane for the first time, now think how it would feel if you had 100 jumps under your belt. Fear is a relative thing, the first time is rough but the more you do a thing the easier it gets.
Business is the same thing going after your idea will be hard and scary, but if you keep at it and overcome your fear, you will be able to do great things. You may fail and have lots of bumps along the way, but if you can persevere, in the end you will be the success you want to be.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
Ok this is just a tirade; I have been following the news coming out of Berkley, now I have always known they are just a bastion of super liberals, but they have offended me to the core. I know this nation was founded on basic freedoms that we know, and love, but these folks went too far. When a city council give special privileges to a group whose sole agenda is to discredit our military, I’m speaking of the special parking permit in front of the recruiting office, and a special noise permit so they can make all the noise they want. I can’t see this city council giving the same privileges to, oh let’s say Nabors Industries Ltd., in case you didn’t know this is one of the companies’s that wants to drill in Alaska.
There is very little I can do to make the situation better, but the one thing I did was I called all the congressional people for my state, and ask them to support the bill to pull several million dollars from the federal funds that go to Berkley California, highway funds and such. As with most self righteous people, this might be the only way to make them realize that the military is the only thing that protects those freedoms they value so much. But I doubt it, stupid is as stupid does.

Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with less energy and time.
Older than dirt, that is how I like to describe myself. Being old is a wonderful thing, you slow down and have the ability to think things through, that is if you could think in the first place. I no longer have the desire to rush things to completion, I take my time and plan, it is amazing how many mistakes I don’t make anymore.
When I look back at my youth, I see that person that never got anything more than a 9 to 5 job, no matter how realistic the plan was I couldn’t get it to work. Hindsight is a wonderful thing I see all the mistakes I made, and how I made them, so this time I will not make them, or at least minimize them.
i fully expect to have my failures, but they won’t devastate me, or even spoil my mood. I can see problems coming, and I am prepared for them, and if I fall on my face, well that is ok too. Because I will bounce back, nothing can stop me. My age is what keeps me focused and balanced; no set back is to great.
So if you are of an age that is older than dirt, welcome to the club, and for those of you that are still young, I hope you never let life become too much. Because in the long run we are what we need to be, I hope you get everything you need in life.

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing weeds, I can appreciate persistence.
Every day something will happen, be it a big something or a small something, what ever it is, it can and if you let it, stop you from doing the steps that you need to be doing. It is just too easy to say in a minute, give me till this show is over, or I just don’t want to right now. And before you know it, next week is here and you didn’t do anything.
If anyone in this world understands putting off what you can do today, till tomorrow, it is me, the sad truth of the matter is I found tomorrow never gets here. If I have any regrets in this life it is I put off what I should have been doing years ago. But take heart it is never to late to be that person you need to be, sometimes it just takes getting older, and realizing that you are running out of tomorrows.
I hope you are one of the lucky ones that never put off anything. Just never forget, don’t take time away from those that you love and those that love you, because that is the greatest gain you can find in this life.
Never give up, Never surrender

I give you my hand! I give you my love more precious than money,I give you myself;Will you give me yourself, will you come travel with me?
This journey you have embarked on is going to be long and fraught with disasters waiting to happen. If you have someone in your life, I hope it is someone that supports you in your endeavors, and the support is a multi-faceted thing.
As we go through life we make choices, and one of the most major choices we make, is who is going to be our life partner. If you’re lucky, you picked well, but if you aren’t you have a person in your life that will never be the one that helps you bring that great idea to realization. The most ideal person is one that is as creative as you are, but barring that having someone that tries to understand, what you are doing and is totally for you, will make for a good partner.
If you haven’t found that person that makes your heart beat faster yet, I urge caution, pick well. You must be able to judge without emotion, find the one that is there for you and only you, is willing to go through hell, and still be there, because I promise you, that hell or a reasonable facsimile is awaiting you. Murphy Law will always be around the corner, no matter how well planned or executed, Murphy will raise it ugly head. So make sure the one in your life is the one that you need.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
We all are seeking something in our lives, be it money, love, self-worth, respect. What ever it may be, if we don’t work to get it, then it won’t be worth much in the long run.
I spend my time learning how to do things, it is a time consuming, sometime it’s really boring, but I know deep down inside myself, that it will pay off. I must keep on keeping on as we said in the old days. It may bore me to tears, or make me go half blind, reading all the things that I know I must, to succeed.
Very few self help books are exciting, but I can create the excitement in myself, by realizing I have a vision of success. I want all the things money can buy, but it may surprise you I want to find that special someone to share it with, money is a wonderful thing, it makes you comfortable, but comfort is just an ok thing, it will never replace the warmth of sharing your self with another person. But you have to be careful; sometimes that other person in your life will drag you down like an anchor. But if you’re lucky you have or will have that special person in your life that will be there, with you and for you, in all things.

"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
I would like to think that most people out there are honest, when the clerk gives you a dollar to much in change, most of us would give it back, but honesty is a very slippery word, we can be honest in all our endeavors and yet fail to be honest with the most important person in your life, you.
Have you ever started a project, only to find yourself never finishing it. It all boils down to being honest, with oneself. We all have grandiose thoughts, if we didn’t there would be no lottery, we buy tickets, because we see ourselves getting gobs and gobs of cash, we spend it in our heads.
Having good visualization skills is the most important thing an inventor can have, but if you lack the honesty with yourself then it is just an flight of imagination, if you fail to look at the reality of a thing, then you fall short of your imagined outcome. So be honest with yourself, look at all the work that you will have to put into something, to make it real.
It is just to easy to see the outcome without seeing the work, and the work is the journey not the results.
