LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME

In our spoiled and privileged lives today it is easy to cry over "all we have lost" this past year or so.... and the sad shape our country is in...but ...these photos clearly show how much all of us have grown and gained. It is easy to forget all that those who came before us over came, so we can and do enjoy all we have today.

These photos say so much and help to remind all of us the trials and hard times every segment of our population grew from.

We truly are "One nation under God". And...why there is so much resistance towards newcomers to our country wanting to run over the majorities rights to change all this great country was built on...our masses do celebrate their heritage and celebrations, but not to the tune of destruction of respect to this great country.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the nessecities"

Frank Lloyd Wright

Doesn't that sound like the life motto YOU want to have? It does to me! Maybe a slight bit more down to earth and "of these trying times" version could be:

"Give me the luxuries of life and I will feel and look my best so as to face the nessecities with a better disposition and outlook"

Having said all that, isn't it time for a trip to the spa?

TO KILL AN AMERICAN...

This is so true. A little lengthy, but worth the read!

Written by an Australian Dentist....too good to delete.... 

To Kill an American

You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American. 

So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is. So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!) 

'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan. 

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native American s.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan.The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. 

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness. 

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country! 

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan . Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the be st services. But they also welcome the least. 

The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America . 

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the m orning of September 11, 2001 earning a b etter life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists. 

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. 

A NEW BOOK TO HIT THE SHELVES

This is info from Mike Marshall via Bill Barvitski:

Dear Friends, 

 

Today, there's a new book out that I know you'll want to read and share with your colleagues and friends.

It's called The Contrarian Effect: Why it Pays (Big) to Take the Typical Sales Advice and Do the Opposite.  My sister, Elizabeth Marshall, is the co-author on this book and I wanted to support her by sending this email.  But, that's not why I am recommending you read it...

You see, this book is about how anyone who sells for a living (entrepreneurs, small biz owners, etc) can sell more effectively without selling out.  The typical sales tactics such as cold calling and closing techniques don't work like they used to and don't fool today's savvy customers.  There is a better way to to reach today's customer in today's market, and this book is filled with strategies and ways to do just that.

Sound like something you want to read?  Check it out on Amazon here:

fact, I think it's so creative that I encourage you to check it out here:

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress.

Anwar Sadat

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Hey all you fellow 23 year olds, chew on this:

If you're 23 years old and deposit $3,000 per year (that's only $250 each month!) in a Roth IRA earning an 8% average annual return, you will have saved $985,749 by the time you are 65 years old due to the power of compounding. If you make a few extra contributions, it's clear that a $1 million goal is well within reach. Also keep in mind that this is mostly interest — your $3,000 contributions only add up to $126,000.

Now, suppose that you wait an additional 10 years to start contributing. You have a better job and you know you've lost some time, so you contribute $5,000 per year. You get the same 8% return and you aim to retire at 65. When you reach age 65, you will have saved $724,753. That's still a sizeable fund, but you had to contribute $160,000 just to get there — and it's nowhere near the $985,749 you could've had for paying much less.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

I need to work on this more:

Appreciate yourself. The next time someone pays you a compliment, don't shrug it off or put yourself down. When we push away acknowledgment of our divine selves, we can't amplify the good that is trying to move through our lives. We can be humble and still accept praise. Accept that others are seeing the God within you. Take pleasure that others recognize your true identity. And give the gift of a compliment to someone else.

Mary Manin Morrissey

FOR ALL YOU ENTREPRENEURS - QUOTE OF THE DAY

"You worry about the Joneses — I worry about keeping up with the Trumps."

Keep your eye on the prize and don't let anyone tell you you can't do it, because where there is a will, there is a way.

OLYMPIC INSPIRATION

Samia Yusuf Omar headed back to Somalia Sunday, returning to the small two-room house in Mogadishu shared by seven family members. Her mother lives there, selling fruits and vegetables. Her father is buried there, the victim of a wayward artillery shell that hit their home and also killed Samia’s aunt and uncle.

This is the Olympic story we never heard...

ROCKY POINT LITERATURE

Here's a brand new catagory for your entertainment pleasure...we wrote a poem yesterday and want to share it with you all:

Sailboat sailing the Sea
Breeze blowing freely
Leisurely
Day at the beach
Yet peace of mind is out of my reach
Turmoil and struggle
With a backdrop of a perfect scenery.
Sea of Cortez
Lends its ear to me
Trying to think of the possibility
Of life improving
When will be my time
Sea - please send me a sign
Struggle and trouble
In this most perfect place
Finances, life's largest set-back
World wide economic slump
But the "world's aquarium" right in front
The anticipation of a break in the clouds
Hovering bringing the
Stifiling humidity like clockwork
A season of swelter until it breaks
When is OUR relief?
Pain in paradise is this oxymoron, twilight zone
Which we call home.

What do you think??

ROCKY POINT LUNCHTIME...

In this day and age, if you're cutting corners, but still want that Rocky Point fare, get creative with a seafood dinner for two!
