Define Your Happiness and Live It.

We hear countless stories of heroism, volunteer workers who love helping the poor, firemen and women, police officers. And, most of these professions do not make a tremendous salary. Therefore, we would have to conclude that they rush into these jobs knowing money is not an over riding factor of success in their careers. To them self sacrifice and the betterment of society is what's at stake.
For C level people and others in the corporate world a lot of greenbacks in their bank account lure them into taking a job. And they stay on a career path because money is what makes that person happy, or so they think. The last kind of person I'd like to discuss is the creator, also known as an entrepreneur. Now this person sees a need that the market has not yet met and whether through desire to make money or to better society or maybe for both reasons.

The key is to define which type of person you are and to make goals to that end.  For example if you're 18 years old and want to become a fireman you need to research how you become one and if you are in good enough shape.  If you want become a C Level Employee at a firm it will take years of corporate culture and maybe a MBA from an accredited school. And for the entrepreneur you must love to learn even when it's in failure.

W. Clement Stone "Do It Now"

One of the maxims that jolts me to action is, "Do it Now." I first heard this wonderful expression when reading W. Clement Stone's "The Success System That Never Fails." Now he was a real man of action. When his father died Stone was only a child. Did he get depressed, down in spirits or give up? No. He did the opposite and decided to work extra hard and take action. He became a man at a young age. As he sold insurance policies door to door and then managed sales teams and franchises his company grew to one of the largest in the U.S. The point is that when you're down all too often we allow these feelings to linger. But this is exactly the time you need to remember to think positively. More important, take action. Do something you enjoy!!! You are great, you have potential to help others, be social, write, work on a business you've been wanting to start for some time, watch or play a sport, read a book, listen to your favorite comedian, just  "Do...

Always Keep Granola Bars in My Car

I live in Los Angeles and there are lots of homeless people holding signs as you exit the freeway. Therefore, I hand out granola bars if I'm stopped.  The other day I gave a box of kind bars to a homeless veteran. He said to me "sir can I really have the whole box?" His gratitude made my entire week.

Lessons Learned

This Blog was inspired by my grandfather in October when he suggested that I should write. As a family friend said to me, it was meant to happen. He lit the fire! It was up to me to decide what the subject material would be for the Blog. And, how my experiences could be of most value to my readers.  I find that the people who I look up to most excel at making the correct moral and ethical decisions.  Their religious and political backgrounds vary. But, the constant remains family, history, a thirst for learning and respect for their elders.  Though I come from a different generation, I strive for the same. This week has been an emotional roller coaster.  Knowing my grandfather was bed ridden I had to act happy for a surprise party for my 30th birthday. After visiting my grandpa Saturday afternoon my mom called me from my grandparents house on Sunday, I answered immediately but didn't want to. The funeral was Tuesday and I turned 30 Wednesday. I recall the w...
