Be Inspired!

Ray Bradbury and Cat

“When I was 19 years old I couldn’t go to college because I came from a poor family. We had no money, so I went to the library at least. Three days a week I read every possible book. At the age of 27 I have actually completed almost the entire library instead of university. So I got my education in the library and for free. When a person wants something, they will find a way to achieve it.
I would like to remind you of one thing:
Humans should never forget that we have been assigned only a very small place on earth, that we live surrounded by nature that can easily take back everything that has ever given to man.
It costs absolutely nothing in her way to one day blow us all off the face of the earth or flood the waters of the ocean with her single breath, just to remind man once again that he is not as all-powerful as he still foolishly thinks. “
Ray Bradbury
American writer

I love you, sweetheart.

A group of 12 women were at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with their husbands. The women were asked, “How many of you love your husband?” All the women raised their hands.

Then they were asked, “When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?” Some women answered today, a few yesterday, and some couldn’t remember.

The women were then told to take out their cell phones and text their husband “I love you, sweetheart.”

Next the women were instructed to exchange phones with another woman and read aloud the text message they received in response to their message.

Below are the 12 actual replies from their husbands. If you have been married for quite a while, you understand that these replies are a sign of true love. Who else would reply in such a succinct and honest way?

  1. Who the hell is this?
  2. Hey, mother of my children, are you sick or what?
  3. Yeah, and I love you too. ….. What’s wrong?
  4. What now? Did you wreck the car again?
  5. I don’t understand what you mean?
  6. What the hell did you do now?
  7. Are you sure this is for me?
  8. Don’t beat about the bush, just tell me how much you need?
  9. Am I dreaming?
  10. If you don’t tell me who this message is actually for, someone will die
  11. I thought we agreed you wouldn’t drink during the day.
  12. Your mother is coming to stay with us, isn’t she?

Trust Me

Trust Me

Many decades ago now, after being relieved of some serious coin by a person fond of saying “trust me” I came to the conclusion that the sort of person who says that does so because they are unwilling or unable to show you evidence that what they want you to believe is true.

No recent events have operated to dissuade me from that conclusion. If anything, time, events and others’ experience has validated my conclusion.

Look around and make up your own mind about it. Don’t trust my conclusion, look for yourself.

The current campaign around the Voice is a more than adequate example of Albo saying don’t worry about the details, trust me.

I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him!

As a matter of fact, having some insight into the details, intent and machinations behind the Voice I would put it in the category of what most politicians do, a sleight of hand, black magic trick.

Same as the last three and a half years of propaganda.
Or, “scientific consensus”. That’s when the majority have been bought.

What can I do for 10 minutes every day that will change my life?

Cup of Tea

My mother told me this story. I have an uncle (I don’t know him). He is a businessman. He followed a simple rule all his life. That was always having morning tea with his mother.

If they are at home, they sit together and take sips of tea. When they are far, they call each other and at same time start having tea and talk to each other.

This thing seems so simple but here is it’s power. Before his mother died, she told him, “I would have died 10 years ago, it’s your morning cup of tea that kept me alive.”

Your couple of seconds can give someone all they need. Because here you are giving the best thing you can give to your loved ones that is Your time.

Spend your time with them and if you are far, talk to them atleast once in a day. It will not only make them feel happy but will also put a smile on your face.

The System Wants You To Believe In These 6 Lies…

Crowd Staring At Phones

The System Wants You To Believe In These 6 Lies…

1. News
The news is there to hack your attention. Not to keep you informed.
They want you to:
• Be Distracted
• Believe their lies
• Stay under their control
Observe with your mind not your eyes.

2. Failure
“You should avoid failure there is one correct answer.”
Wrong.
Make mistakes so you can:
• Grow
• Learn
• Strengthen your skills
Nobody is born perfect. Embrace failure and see it as an opportunity to grow.

3. Work hard
You should work smart, not hard.
Don’t get me wrong, it will still get hard sometimes, but they want you to trade your time for money your whole life.
1 Minute of your life is worth more than all money combined.
Stop valuing it more than your time.

4. Money
Until 1971, money was tied to gold, which gave money value.
Nowadays, money is tied to nothing. Money is basically worthless.
Learn how:
• To create money with no money
• To make money work for you
• Money works
or you will work your entire life for it.

5. Consumerism
Many people think fulfillment lies in materialistic things.
It lies in:
• Personal growth
• Relationships
• Self-love
and in contributing to something greater than ourselves.
You won’t find fulfillment anywhere else.

6. Change is impossible
“Life is the way it is”
That’s a lie. Life is what you make out of it.
Before you can live the life you want, you must become a person.
Change how you:
• Think
• Feel
• Act
and you can become almost anybody.

(Tom: Much truth in there!

The news is actually more evil than that. It also has the purpose of driving a person down tone, enturbulating them, making them less causative and more effect.

Money is merely an idea backed by confidence. It is the idea that you can exchange a worthless piece of paper/plastic/metal/digital numbers for valuable goods and services and the receiver of same can do likewise. As soon as a person no longer has confidence that the money can be exchanged, it loses its value.

That happened with me some time ago so I keep most of my value in hard assets and very little cash. It’s one of the reasons why Bill Gates is now the largest individual holder of land in the US.)

Maybe They Aren’t Conspiracy Theorists

Maybe They Aren't Conspiracy Theorists

Next time someone accuses you of being a conspiracy theorist, look them straight in the eye and with no malice or anything but professional interest, ask, “When did you decide to not know?”

Because you have to not know something in order to have a game. If you knew everything there would be no game. You could predict everything.

You would know every move your opponent was going to make before they made it and so counter it.

You would be 100% cause.

You would win all the time.

You would lose interest in life.

So at one time or another we have all decided to not know in order to have a game.

But some of have decided to not know a LOT harder than others of us! To the point where they are not even capable of seeing the moves the opponent makes.

This makes them unable to play a game. They are almost total effect.

By asking them the question, “When did you decide to not know?” who knows but you might get a small percentage of them to actually look, spot that moment and be capable of knowing a lot more.
