Dreams can become reality!
I was inspired this morning by watching Richard Branson’s latest project of propelling humans to space but using environmentally clean process. Simply incredible and demonstrates once again anything we dream can be achieved. I spent my lunch hour with Goal Achievers International. Phil Taylor created this group to support one another in achieving your goals and dreams. Phil thanks for inviting me into this amazing circle of inspiring people.
When we have tragedy in our lives it’s important for us to know that at the same time somewhere in the world there are an abundance of positive events taking place that will inspire us to stay focused on our goals. If you have not started writing down your goals start today. Remember anything is possible if you believe in yourself and your goal.
Make it a great day!

Let’s stop the participating Ribbons Campaign Once and for All!
In 2004 a study showed by 2050, he says, Chinese will continue its predominance, with Hindi-Urdu of India and Arabic climbing past English, and Spanish nearly equal to it.

Do you know there are more University educated students in India than we have people….Yet North America has the highest ranked Universities…?
What does this mean?
Think about our world today and how we receive information and digest information…..Does it make any sense that we have bricks and mortar schools that have a time schedules set for children to arrive home and work on the farm fields? When was the last time you watched kids mowing lawns and gardening after school…? LOL!
Our system needs to change.
I attended a volleyball tournament for my daughter who is in grade six. When the girl knocked the ball over the net the boy caught it and then tried to mimic a volley…What is going on people? Someone in the crowd shared that this is the new way so the kids have more fun…..? Excuse me? So now we are changing rules to make things easier for our kids…..? If we make things more easier for our kids they will never have a job vs. the rest of the world that have to work for food. What do our children receive when the do anything in school…..A ribbon! What happens to it? Left behind because are schools provide ribbons for showing up or going to the bathroom…..Enough with the ribbon mentality…Wrong! This house league mentality is destroying our children’s ability to compete on a global stage. Do you remember how great it felt when you received that big golden trophy because you gave blood and sweat and earned this trophy? Now we just give them out to everyone……NOT!
When did we sign up to shield our children from learning to win and achieve. Who likes to lose? When we lose we learn so the next time we win. That is our human nature. Why are we teaching our children a fake world of reality? How will this help them in the business/real world? We are now competing for everything on a global level and we know that very soon English will be overtaken by Chinese as the primary language of the world.
I suspect that most of us had to find a job and contribute to the family. I started at 14 and have never stopped. Why do parents these days want to keep their children in a bubble and not have them understand the value of working for a pay cheque?
As parents we must do our part. Like many of us I’m a single father raising my girls half the time. My girls like your children have simple needs. They want to be loved. As a parent can we not fulfill this requirement? Don’t provide a nanny, video games, IPOD, or anything other than your time. Can we all make a pledge right now to do this..?
Lets start becoming involved with our children’s schools and voicing our opinions to move things back on track. We are falling behind everyday to the rest of the world. Start small but everyone needs to be involved if we are going to provide our children with the tools required in this new world!
Make it a great day!

What are you willing to risk in achieving your goals and dreams?
This question comes to us many times in our lives and we may have different answers depending on where we are in this journey of life. Folks its gut check time. How’s your family right now? Do you have a spouse or loved one out of work? Have you had to sell your house or make some major financial decision? It’s ok. Let’s not lose sight of what are the most important things in our lives. I graduated in 95 and have never had a bad time….really! For most of us we have never been in such a brutal state of economic hardship. Our grandparents were kids in the great depression and have vague memories.
So what do we do?
The first thing is do not worry. Worrying is crippling and will eventually kill you. I have a great friend of mine and his name is Sugan. He used to have a great question for me when I was having challenges in my life. “Can you live with it?” At the end of the day can you move on with your life? If you can’t fix the challenge can you seek help in overcoming the challenge? You must focus on the positive in everything you do. Don’t be afraid to fail. Failure breaths success and you can not achieve success with out failing. Stay focused on your goals. Do you write them down? I do and keep in my wallet so at any time when I become lost I can pull out and get focused. I started doing this in reaching my first major achievement. Playing for my country in soccer and participating in the 87 Jr. World Cup. My next major achievement was being the first person in our family to achieve a scholarship and to graduate with a University degree. My next achievement was landing employment with IBM and off I went into my technology career. Don’t let me mislead you I had many ups and downs along the way but my goals always kept me on track and if I did get knocked off track I could quickly find my way back to my goals. I found a great group on LinkedIn called Goal Achievers International. The gentlemen that started this group Phil Taylor has mastered these tips and is full of positive energy. Join these groups and surround yourself with people that have similar goals and dreams..
What is the alternative? When you wake up in the morning do you jump out of bed to make a difference or get up and wonder what your purpose is? If you’re not jumping start focusing on writing down your goals and get your life back on track. We always have at least two choices in our lives….Do nothing.. or do something... What choice are you going to make?
Don’t forget you are not alone and if you believe you can achieve anything you want.
Make it a great day!
