I’ve always wondered why Mrs. Smith chose to teach kindergarten as a profession. She never seemed to enjoy it.

Her favourite form of punishment for the smallest misdemeanor was to send a child to stand in the corner — behind the big upright piano. Her victim didn’t have to be a wayward kindergarten pupil. Sometimes it was an older kid, making faces at us through the window. Occasionally Mrs. Smith would forget she had sent someone there. One hapless 7th grade student was forgotten until noon when he timidly spoke up from behind the piano and asked to be allowed to go home for lunch.

One day I was sent to the corner for who-knows-what, and Mrs. Smith forgot I was there. Singing time came, and I was still there. Continue reading »

“Belief is like a thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life.” ~ David J. Schwartz

In The Magic of Thinking Big, the author asks the million dollar question:

If you can dream it, why aren’t you doing it?

I ask myself that same question all the time. And I know I’m not the only one, because I know plenty of people who are not happy with where they are, and they are not doing anything about it. I don’t believe ALL of those people are completely devoid of dreams.

With so many people not living their dreams, you’d think the answer would be complicated and difficult to achieve. The truth is, the answer is quite simple! Continue reading »

 

Thoughts Are Things!

This is my 8th time through Think and Grow Rich with my mastermind group. Until now, I’ve still been vague and indecisive when it comes to what I truly want to have and achieve. It’s not for a lack of imagination or desire. For example, I would love to visit my hometown and visit my mom and siblings, and two little nieces I have never seen.

I’ve been thinking about Edwin C. Barnes, and how his desire became a reality. His burning desire was to become a business associate of Thomas Alva Edison. Continue reading »

“There can be no compromise between poverty and riches. The two roads that lead to poverty and riches travel in opposite directions. If you want riches you must refuse to accept any circumstance that leads toward poverty.” ~ Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill tells the story of a man who was to be executed the next day. Far from being frightened, the man was at peace with it, and enjoyed his last meal immensely.

That story reminds me of Continue reading »

 

Every week for well over a year now, I have been posting my lessons learned, from Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. For a special treat, I thought today I would post a brilliant lesson written by my friend, Tuula Rands.
