Time to Learn
by: Author Unknown
A young but earnest Zen student approached his teacher, and
asked the Zen Master:
"If I work very hard and diligent how long will it take for
me to find Zen."
The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years."
The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard
and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then ?"
Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years."
"But, if I really, really work at it. How long then ?"
asked the student.
"Thirty years," replied the Master.
"But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student."
At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will
take me longer. Why do you say that ?"
Replied the Master," When you have one eye on the goal, you
only have one eye on the path."
'What are You only Half focusing on and in YOUR and Not Achieving?"

"Do You Hold true To Your Values, Dreams and Aspiration Even In The Face Of Adversity?"
Keep your dream
by: Author Unknown
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch
in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on
fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk
programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I
want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes
back to a story about a young man who was the son of an
itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable,
race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch,
training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career
was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was
asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do
when he grew up.
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal
of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream
in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre
ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the
stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan
for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre
dream ranch.
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the
next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he
received his paper back. On the front page was a large
red F with a note that read, `See me after class.’
“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class
and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’
“The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a
young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an
itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse
ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land.
You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later
you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you
could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will
rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will
reconsider your grade.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He
asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look,
son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I
think it is a very important decision for you.’ “Finally,
after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the
same paper, making no changes at all.
He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell
you this story because you are sitting in my
4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse
ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the
fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that
two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to
camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was
leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now.
When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream
stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams.
Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on
yours.”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no
matter what.”

Did YOU Know?
Did you know that it is difficult to get what you can’t give and that Giving comes first?
I have never ever met a truly wealth person that hasn't been a giver first!
When they give from the start [and that means where you are now] there appears a lot more room for the "REAL RICHES" to enter into your life!
It’s called flow.... A river must have flow or it becomes stagnant.
We as humans also achieve our Perfect flow when we Give..
LOVE - when we give it we are open to receive it
Money - when we give it we are ready to receive more
Time - when we give of our time we are investing our most precious resource as it's the only thing we cant get more of! So invest it wisely...
In you exercise program
in your relationships
in your children
in your self
in doing what you are passionate about
in dreaming yourself into a better life
in the services of others..
in continuous learning
in teaching others
What was it that you really wanted to do?
So if you are waiting for riches to come to you ... take riches to someone else first!
If you are waiting to be loved ... Love some one first!
If you are waiting for some one to help you ... Help someone else first!
Cheers....

"Can You Turn Adversity Into Advantage?"
Weakness or Strength?
by: Author Unknown
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest
strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old
boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he
had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master.
The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why,
after three months of training the master had taught him
only one move.
"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning
more moves?"
"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move
you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the
boy kept training.
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first
tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his
first two matches. The third match proved to be more
difficult, but after some time, his opponent became
impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to
win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now
in the finals.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more
experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be
overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the
referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match
when the sensei intervened.
"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical
mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his
move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the
tournament. He was the champion.
On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in
each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to
ask what was really on his mind.
"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First,
you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in
all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that
move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.
