  Latest News! How Many Goats Can 2 Guys Carry On A Motor Bike ?
Updates About SDAc's Activities/Tips You Can Use
 

Few people know how customisable and "automatable" their Power point presentations are UNTIL they see what we do with ours. And that's where the "goats & guys on a bike" come in. Our LOL Pix-Humour entry for this month(see bottom right) shows a small pix of two guys carrying some goats on a motor bike. That pix is REAL and was taken by me in 1999.

A large version of it is embedded in a fully customised/VBA-automated PowerPoint Show (see screenshot below) which was created in 2003 for my flagship seminar on Self-Development & Spontaneous Coaching™.

Click here to download a FREE copy of that presentation to see the larger pix of the "goats & guys on a bike" in it, so you can confirm just how many goats those 2 guys had on that bike - and WHAT relevance the pix has to the seminar! You may also want to try guessing where I took the pix. Enjoy! :-))

  Feature Article: 7 Deadly Myths That Can Stop You From Succeeding!
Ideas To Help You Develop Yourself To Achieve Your FULL Potential
 
 

Preview: In many societies, it is normal for people to cultivate myths about different things. Successful persons sometimes discover - to their alarm and distaste - that untrue or imaginary stories have been told in social circles about their personal lives, and/or the source of their wealth or success.

This human tendency to exaggerate, prevaricate or mythify is unlikely to abate - and so, for those who wish to avoid being misled, it is important to actively "test" what one "hears" before acting based on it. For instance, on the subject of pursuing and achieving success, various myths are propagated in different cultures about how to go about it. This article was written to debunk some of them.

Preamble: Few people alive or dead have enjoyed the height of success that Nelson Mandela has attained. In my opinion, (and going by the definition provided in the quote below credited to Emerson) Mandela's type of success is one that everyone should aspire towards - because it is arguably the most balanced and complete.

That probably explains why this great man is admired the world over by some of the greatest people from all walks of life. When I talk about success therefore (be it in business or life) I want the reader to know that I refer mainly to the Nelson Mandela type of success i.e. the one which leads to IMPROVEMENT in the lives of others.

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just in case you wonder how the above can be applied to business considerations, I'll elaborate - briefly: An entrepreneur can use his/her business activities to make the lives of others better even as s/he makes profit in the process. Here are two additional quotes, this time from an entrepreneur of proven competence and repute, to support what I have just said:

"Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance." - Richard Branson

"I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey out of the consumer." - Richard Branson
