Imagine life without

Imagine a world with no ATM Machines; no passbook savings; no car or home-improvement loans; or no installment-plan credit...



Hard to do, isn’t it???



Well, you owe a huge thanks to one man who refused to be told it couldn’t be done...



Most people want to know how to create success in their life...



I know you’re thinking about what you are going to create with your life...



I’m here to tell you that if you have a strong vision, and a will to overcome whatever obstacles get in your way, you can accomplish anything...



Just ask Amadeo Peter Giannini (A.P.).



A.P. certainly had his share of obstacles...



When he was only 7, his father died in a fight over one dollar...



Things were hard for him and his mother...



She remarried a man who went into the produce business...



A.P., at age 14, quit school to work with him.



By 19 he was a partner in the thriving enterprise, built largely on his reputation for integrity and honesty.



At 31 years of age he had all the money he needed or wanted, and announced his retirement. One year later his real career began…



At 32, A.P. was asked to join the board of the Columbus Savings & Loan society, a modest bank in the Italian section of town.



It wasn’t long before A.P found himself at odds with the other directors.



A.P. wanted the bank to loan money to hard-working immigrants, but at that time banks were in business only for business men and the wealthy.



His ideas of loaning money to the working class were scoffed at.



No problem. A.P. had a vision and he was determined to make it reality.



He raised $150,000 (a massive amount of money then) from family and friends, bought a converted saloon right across the street from the Columbus S&L; kept the bartender on as an assistant teller; and opened the Bank of Italy...



In those days it wasn’t considered proper to solicit banking business.



He ignored the “proper way” and began ringing doorbells and talking to everyone he could about what a bank did.



He advertised. He kept the bank open longer hours, and on weekends, to fit into working people’s schedules.



Business boomed...



A.P. believed in making other people’s dreams come true.



He helped the California Wine Industry get started.



He bankrolled Hollywood when they were trying to make movies popular.



When Walt Disney ran $2 million dollars over budget on Snow White, he stepped in with a loan...



A.P. believed integrity and “giving back” were the formulas for success.



What began in 1904 as the Bank of Italy transformed into the Bank of America – now the world’s largest bank.



What about A.P.?



Did he die a billionaire?



When he passed away at age 79, his estate was worth less than $500,000.



It was purely by choice.



He disdained great wealth, believing it would make him lose touch with the people he wanted to serve.



He worked for no pay for years.



A surprise $1.5 million bonus one year was promptly given to the University of California.



It was far more important for him to give and make a difference.



All of us have that ability and opportunity.



As you strive for success, remember you can use it to make a difference in the world.



A.P. strove to make a difference every day of his life.



Follow your own formula for success, then look for ways to give back to the world that has given you so much.



There are always ways. They are out there waiting for you to find them!

Read about a most remarkable woman

Before Malalai was seven years old, her family had been moved from Afghanistan to Iran and then to Pakistan so she could attend school.



They moved from refugee camp to refugee camp to ensure their survival and to stay together.



When Malalai was 15, she became a teacher dedicated to fighting the illiteracy she witnessed all around her.



Five years later, under the repressive Taliban government, she moved to Herat in northwestern Afghanistan and joined an underground movement that supported schools for girls.



“We had to shift from location to location and we always carried the Koran so we could pretend we were in prayer, not in class,” she said. Taliban spies followed the girls in an attempt to find the schools and shut them down.



Malalai now lives and works among the simple folk in the Farah province of Afghanistan, and although her enemy is no longer the Taliban, human rights abuses against Afghan women continue. Malalai says of those in power, “People have changed physically, but not mentally. They are all the same. They are all Taliban in different clothes. They don’t really believe in democracy.”



In 2003, when Malalai was only 24 years old, she was elected to the Loya Jirga (grand council) that met to form the new Afghan government. As a result of using that forum to speak the truth, she suffered abuse, attacks on her home and survived four assassination attempts.



Then in 2005, Malalai was elected to the Parliament.



She had not intended to seek political office, but “. . . my supporters kept saying, ‘Your voice at the Loya Jirga gave us a hope that there is at least one who understands our suffering.



Now we want you once again to be the voice of the voiceless at Parliament.’ I couldn’t help but accept the honor to be the voice of my oppressed nation. . .”



This tiny, not-quite-5-foot tall woman is one of the most popular and powerful women in Afghanistan.



She is fearless as she speaks out for the rights of women and children in her country.



Malalai is aware that her life is in danger.



She sleeps in a different place every night; every day she is forced to wear a burqua (an outer garment covering her entire body), and is accompanied 24 hours a day by bodyguards.



People try to stop her as they fear for her life, but Malalai will not be silenced. “It gives me strength to keep telling the truth,” she insists.



Malalai Joya is a courageous woman who is putting her comfort, safety and life on the line for her beliefs.



Not many of us will ever be asked to what she is doing.



But each of us will be required at some point to stand up for what we believe.



It may be among strangers who are spreading lies about a friend.



It could be at a club meeting or before a school board speaking against an injustice.



It might be at a social event among friends who are gossiping.



Will you swallow your fear, and like Malalai stand up and speak the truth?



Your courage may be all that is needed to make the difference for someone else.



It may not be easy, but it can be done.

One weekend something changed...

Sandi Watkins was doomed to be a failure.



At least that's what people thought.



That's what they said.



By the time Sandi got to high school she had the reputation as the biggest trouble-maker in town.



She had a long arrest record, mostly for petty crimes, but everyone knew she was on the fast-track to prison.



Teachers cringed when they say her name on their class list.



Sandi was sullen; sat slumped in her seat, and ignored everything going on around her.



She had flunked every class in high school but she kept moving up because not one teacher in her school wanted to have her back again.



Sandi was moving on - but she was most certainly not moving up.



No one tried to get to know her.



Teachers, and most kids, were afraid of her.



No one knew when she would erupt with anger, and fights were common.



By her senior year, everyone was simply counting the days until Sandi was gone.



Then Sandi did a strange thing.



She signed up for a leadership conference that was designed to get students involved in their communities.



It was only because she wanted to get out of class, but something happened that first day...



At first she merely stood against the wall and watched with disdain.



She would join the discussion groups but only mumbled a few words when it was her turn to speak.



But slowly the interactive games drew her in.



She really began to open up when her group was asked to make a list of positive and negative things that had happened at school that year.



She certainly had some things to add about that.



You could see the surprise on her face when the other kids in the group actually listened to her.



She kept talking.



Her group told Sandi her ideas made a lot of sense.



They began to treat her like a leader. Suddenly everyone realized Sandi was really smart and had some great ideas.



The next day Sandi continued to share her ideas, signing up to be part of the Homeless Project Team.



It was clear she knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness.



No one was more surprised than Sandi when they elected her to be co-chair of the team.



Okay, maybe the teachers were more surprised - appalled actually.



They insisted Sandi couldn't do it, that it was ridiculous to put something so important into Sandi Watkins' hands.



The principal held firm, however - telling them they might be surprised.



I'm sure he was hoping he was right.



Sandi and her team put together a Homeless Scavenger Hunt.



They went to the Homeless Shelters to find out what they needed most.



Then they made a list of things they planned to collect, assigning the most points to those items the shelters needed most.



She found out the homeless rarely get dessert, so she gave high points to cookies, brownie & cake mixes, etc. High scores also went for blankets and coats.



Two weeks later, 100 kids hit the streets of their town, followed by support vans to carry their haul.



4 hours later they met back at the school to load everything into a school bus and take it to the shelter.



There was a slight problem, however.



By the time the school bus was loaded, there was room for only one person - the driver.



Every seat, every square inch of floor, all the way to the ceiling, was packed with what they had collected. Coats, blankets, clothing, food, a lot of desserts - it was the most the Shelter had ever received.



The shelter residents had huge smiles on their faces as they filed out to help unload the bus.



They cheered Sandi and her team.



The paper was there to take pictures and tell stories.



Sandi was a hero. A leader.



She was definitely a changed person.



The rest of her senior year she actually talked in class.



She made good grades.



She put together 2 more projects for the Homeless Shelter, each time bringing them what they needed most.



There were no more arrests.



Sandi graduated in the spring and went on to college - with glowing recommendations from many teachers at her school.



Every year she leads 4 projects for the Homeless Shelters in the town where she goes to school.



Here is what Sandi has to say, "I was on the fast-track to nowhere. I was the only one who could change where my life was going. It was scary but I knew what would happen if I didn't change was worse. I learned I really could make a difference. It changed my whole life. And I learned that other people could believe in me if I only gave them a chance."



Sandi asked me to share her story to let you know you can be whatever you want to be. It's always your choice. She also wanted me to tell you that a little belief goes a long way.



One adult deciding to believe in her - to look beyond what everyone else saw - set her free to be who she really was.



She's hoping you'll look around today and choose to believe in someone.



Maybe that person is someone you know or maybe that someone is yourself.

Nothing could stop her

How much courage does it take to follow your passion? Ask Bethany Hamilton…



Bethany, who lives in Hawaii, was in grade school when she started her quest to become a professional surfboarder.



Surfing is her passion.



She spent every available minute in the water, even homeschooling so she would have more time to pursue her goal.



When she was 8 years old she entered her first major competition – eventually taking the division championships that year.



This girl obviously had what it took.



It was almost all taken away from her on Halloween morning, 2003.



Bethany was 13 years old.



She was surfing with her best friend, Alana, and Alana’s brother and father.



The waters were calm, not good for surfing, so Bethany was just lying on her board, her left arm dangling in the cool water.



She remembers a flash of gray, a lot of pressure, and a couple fast tugs.



She also remembers watching the jaws of a 15-foot tiger shark cover the top of her board and her left arm.



She watched in shock as the water around her turned bright red.



The shark was gone as fast as it appeared.



So was her arm – bitten off almost to the armpit.



Bethany was horrified but not in pain at that point.



She yelled to her friends and their father, Holt. “I just got attacked by a shark!”



It was a combination of miracles that saved Bethany at that point.



High tide allowed them to make it over the reef without going around.



Holt knew enough to wrap his shirt around the wound to act as a tourniquet while they paddled the quarter-mile to shore.



While Bethany drifted in and out of consciousness, a nearby vacationer who was a paramedic rushed to help her.



Surgery saved her life but her arm was gone for good, and everyone, Bethany included, thought her surfing days were over.



Balance is everything when surfing.



How could she balance with only 1 arm?



Within a week, spurred by her passion for surfing, Bethany was thinking something different.



I can do it. I know I can do it!



She wasn’t ready to give up what she loved so much, but it would take time for her body to heal.



There was a huge outpouring of love and support from Hawaiians and people all over the world.



Love, food, flowers, cards, money… Bethany gathered hope and courage from the waves of love aimed toward her.



It was only a few weeks later – the morning before Thanksgiving – Bethany headed back for the water.



Her love of surfing wouldn’t let her wait any longer. Her family and friends were there to cheer her on when she stepped into the warm water for the first time since the attack.



It was like coming home.



Bethany smiled and waved, then jumped on her board to paddle out – pushing down the fear of what might be waiting under the water.



She knew too well…



She failed at her first attempts to ride the board, struggling to push herself up with one arm and keep her balance.



Tears rolled down her face, and the crowds cheered when she caught her first wave and rode it in.



Bethany was back!



Really back.



Only months after her vicious incident, Bethany amazed thousands by achieving the unimaginable, including taking 5th at the 2004 National Scholastic Surfing Association Nationals Championships.







In September she struck again, winning the Open Women's Division of the NSSA's Hawaiian conference season opener.



After her placing in the finals of the National Surfing Championships Bethany has secured a spot on USA's National Surfing Team.



Ask Bethany if she is afraid of sharks and she’ll say yes.



Her heart pounds when she sees a shadow in the water.



She has nightmares.



But she also has a dream, and moving beyond her fears is the only way to accomplish her dreams – the only way to fulfill the passion she has for surfing.



Is there a fear keeping you from following your passion?



I would encourage you to do what Bethany has done.



Stare it in the face, acknowledge you are afraid, then go out and do it anyway!!



I know you can do it.

in less than 4 mins

They said it couldn't be done – it was absolutely impossible – but he did it in less than 4 minutes!



Everyone knew it couldn’t be done.



Roger Bannister had no real motivation to prove them wrong. The young Englishman loved to run but from the time he was a child he also had a passion to be a doctor. This was the passion that drove him. His parents were unable to afford a University education so it was up to him to make it happen.



He knew early on that to achieve his dream of being a doctor he would have to be exceptional – so he set about being exceptional. His studies were paramount but that didn’t mean he couldn’t improve his track skills by running to and from school. While he was on his way to earning a scholarship from Oxford University, he was also gaining a name for himself as a runner.



“It is physically impossible for a human being to run a mile in under 4 minutes.” This statement was the accepted wisdom of the time during the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Runners tried, but failed, proving the words of athletes and medical doctors – cementing a belief in runners minds that it couldn’t be done.



Roger didn’t set out to prove them wrong. He simply loved to run and he was fast. He was also learning a lot about the human body in his studies at Oxford. The day arrived when he was firmly convinced it WAS possible for a human being to run the mile in under 4 minutes.



His decision to be that person was formed by a humiliating defeat in the 1952 Olympics. In order to redeem himself he decided to break the world’s record for the mile. No one believed he could do it.



Adding to his challenge was the fact he was now a full-time Medical student and he could devote only 45 minutes a day to training. People scoffed at the idea he could accomplish such a wild goal but Roger believed slow and steady training would allow him to break the record. He painstakingly researched mechanical aspects of running, and developed scientific training methods to help him achieve his goal.



His opportunity came 2 years later – on a blustery day with 25 MPH gusts of wind to hamper his efforts. It didn’t look promising. So what? He had trained. He was ready. He believed it could be done.



So he simply went out and did it. Roger ran the race of his life, breaking the tape and collapsing as the announcer delivered his time to a wildly cheering crowd:



3:59.4



Within two months his record had been broken by John Landy – proving the 4 minute mile was as much a psychological barrier as it was a physical barrier. As the years have passed the mile has been run in shorter and shorter times but it was Roger Bannister who proved the body was capable of far more than people believed.



When he was asked to explain that first four-minute mile – and the art of record breaking – his answer was simple: “It’s the ability to take more out of yourself than you’ve got.”



Did you get that?



“It’s the ability to take more out of yourself than you’ve got.”



How did Roger do it? First, he BELIEVED he could do it. He understood the size of his success would be determined by the size of his belief.







Here is where I’m going to depart from some more common thoughts that are spread around a lot today. While belief is critically important – in fact, he couldn’t have accomplished what he did without it - belief alone is not enough. It is not enough to repeat affirmations over and over to yourself, even though they are important.



At some point you have to do the work. Roger Bannister ran day after day. He researched the human body. He created scientific methods to enable him to stretch his limits. He did what it would take to fulfill his dream.



What are your goals? What is it you dream of accomplishing? BELIEVE it can be done. Then do the work. Apply yourself to success. Apply yourself to excellence. Figure out what it is going to take and then go DO IT!

I'd like to introduce you to the miracle

I'd like to introduce you to the miracle of Chinese Bamboo...



It all begins with a seed - and with the vision of someone willing to wait... A Chinese farmer, usually struggling to survive and provide for his family, plants the seed and sets his hope and vision on all it will provide when it towers 90 feet above his head.



With a heart toward



the future he digs hole after hole, plants the seeds, then begins their care.



Day after day he carries water to the spot he has marked. And because it's human nature to want to see results he carefully inspects "the spot" every day.



Nothing.



Knowing he has to feed his family he plants other crops, carefully sewn around "the spots" that contain the real hope for his future.



He continues to water them every day, feeding them carefully, and watching...



Nothing.



The other crops sprout within weeks, providing nourishment for his family within months, but provide nothing for the future.



These crops will not make his dreams come true - they will simply provide for the now.



The Chinese Bamboo seeds contain all his hopes, his dreams... A whole year goes by...



Nothing.



He continues to haul water. He stares endlessly at "the spots" but sees nothing but barren ground.



His hopes, his dreams, seem so very far away.



There is no evidence of life. Has the seed rotted? Has it died before it ever had a chance to grow? Another year goes by...



Nothing.



His neighbors - those who don't know and believe in the miracle of the Chinese Bamboo - laugh at him.



They mock his vision for the future.



They look on with scorn as he hauls buckets of water to "the spots".



He begins to question himself. Will it ever grow? Is he pouring water, and his life's energy, into something that will reap no reward for him?



Another year goes by...



Nothing.



3 years of pouring water, energy and hope into the Chinese Bamboo. Nothing to show for it.



Yet he's heard of the miracle of the Chinese Bamboo.



He's heard of the huge rewards that come to those who believe. One day he stands over "the spots" and he cries his frustration and fears.



"The spots" reveal nothing, the barren ground seeming to mock him, yet the wind whispers hope to him. He sighs and hauls yet more buckets of water. Another year goes by...



Nothing.



4 years.... 4 years of hoping, wishing, and diligently tending his dream. Surely the miracle will happen now. His neighbors have quit laughing. They no longer even care - yet they talk quietly among themselves of the farmer who "isn't quite right". At this point the farmer isn't even sure... Yet he's fallen into a habit so he continues to water "the spots". He continues to feed them.



It's simply what he does now, with no knowledge of reward - just the simply, now unspoken hope, that life resides beneath the spots he so carefully tends. Another year

passes...



Nothing.



5 years… The farmer is tired.



Tired of hauling buckets.



Tired of growing and tending so many other crops to feed his struggling family.



Tired of trying to keep his dream alive.



T ired of seeing no results day after day.



He stares hopelessly at "the spots". There can not possibly be life after so many years. He must have watered them wrong. He must not have fed them correctly.



If only he had done things differently, there would be growth. Despair rocks his soul.



5 years he has poured into his dream - into his hope for a better future. His dream mocks him. The vision of a better life for his family melts away under harsh reality. Tears fill his eyes as he grabs for the last hope residing in his soul and slowly lifts the bucket to pour water on to his dream.



After 5 years he realizes it would be folly to give up now...



Then comes the morning when the whole village is jolted awake by the cries of joy from the farmer.



They watch startled from their windows as he runs down the dusty road calling for his family to come see. As his family races back up the road after him, the rest of the village

pours from their houses to see what has the crazy farmer so excited. They find the family clustered around "the spots", talking excitedly.



From the edge of the road they can see green sprouts thrusting out from the barren ground. They seem to be growing before their very eyes! The farmer is dancing.



"The miracle has happened!" he cries.



"The miracle has come!"



"The spots" become the place for everyone in the village to come - watching in amazement as the bamboo grows, and grows, and grows. 5 feet. 10 feet. 20. 30. 40. 50. 60. 70. 80. 90... In just 6 weeks the bamboo has grown 90 feet tall! 5 years of nothing and now this... 90 feet in 6 weeks! It is truly a miracle!







The farmer stands to the side. He is aware all his dreams have come true. The harvest of the bamboo will provide for all he dreamed of for his family. He also realizes the lessons he has learned are far more valuable.



He learned to plant a dream.



He learned to do the daily things that would make it a reality.



He learned to ignore those who said it couldn't happen.



He learned to push past his own fear and doubt and keep taking action.



He learned to have faith when there was no reason to have faith.



Now he smiles every time he walks through the village.



Everyone is hauling buckets of water to their own "spots". Gazing over at his towering 90 feet tall bamboo, they know what can happen.



Because of him.



Because of his willingness to blaze the trail and make his dream come true.



What about you? What are you willing to do to make your dreams come true?



How long are you willing to work?



How long are you willing to go to school?



How much faith and belief are you willing to have? I hope your answer is one that will help you achieve all you dream of in life!

TONIGHTS call is going to be a great one.

Kicking the Habit

Start the self-talk course of action today and move yourself to effective thinking before it is too late by kicking those old habits.

Do you drink daily?

Well get a load of this, while you may have heard it a hundred and one times, it doesn’t matter you are going to hear it again.

How using alcohol affects you and why you may use: Consuming alcohol comes to you differently in view of the fact that the drug is legal.

Yet drugs spill out a new notion despite the consequences, i.e. drinking, like drugs will in time, kill you.

Alcohol when consumed too much hurts people yet intake too much and you will not like the results.

Not only does drinking heavily cloud your mind, it hinders you from thinking straight and can cause poison build up or other health hazards to appear in time.

Some people use alcohol for various reasons.

Some emotional, some ablaze, etc, and you can never tell, but it is employed to extremes and often utilized defense mechanism to escape some form of pain buried in the subliminal or subconscious mind.

In the end, the liver requests be destroyed, yet some people still comes to a decision on the use dipsomania to relieve pain and discomfort.

They fail to understand their discomfort, which causes them to drink.

Employing self-talk you can help you conquer this addition, principally if you put into practice self-talk each day.

Start the self-talk process red-hot* and overture your mind to positive thinking before it is too late.

Drinking is a age-old addiction that emerges from the Western days, and back further.

The old saying, curiosity kills the cat, is one of the bitter end folk mysticism today that has proven pitilessly true.

Sometimes you have to show tough love when a person is not willing to take self-talk measures or other measures to stop.

If you know any spin-off* future desensitizes, be the adult and report the manner to the appropriate authorities.

The person may start gnashing your teeth now, but later he/she will order to be indebted to you.

Not counting, it is principal to support your friend, family member, or child and to let them know it is okay to say no.

No is not a rejection in all cases, it is a symbol of love. That is the person is saying, “I care.”

If you have a drinking problem kick the habit now and start your self-talk program.

Start now with “I care about me.”

Tell yourself that you care about you and your health. You are worth the steps you have to take to kick that bad habit.

Some stocks become persistently to desensitize their mind to drugs or alcohol.

You are killing nerve cells and blood cells each time you drink. Not only are you accomplishing to desensitize your mind, you are also working to destroy your body.

Understand that desensitize is the process of making you less sensitive of fear.

You learn to become less responsive to overwhelming fear by repeating exposure to fear situations or object either artificially or naturally.

Thus, what you are doing with alcohol is burying fear that will resurface again, and is not in fact desensitized, thus you are creating new fear.

You can master this now.

Start a self-talk program with you.

Sit down.

Learn about your good points.

Learn why you deserve to live.

Unless you have a death wish, your self-talk practices will promote positive thinking, which in time you will kick that habit and put that booze away.
