November news
Greetings
"I'm high on life"
I trust everything is going well with you. A couple of weeks ago I received a super e-mail that makes me feel very good, and makes everything worthwhile.
I'd like share part of the mail with you...

"Wow!!! I can't believe how fast time goes sometimes. It's a whole year since I got eaziGOAL!
eaziGOAL made me really think about what I will need to get done and the big thing for me was to "think ahead" to the possible obstacles I could run into and plan ahead as to how to get past those obstacles. I also like the printouts showing each step of the goal and the "due" dates. Easy to file into a notebook and write notes on. It helped me to organize my thoughts (not an easy feat!). I was not able to take advantage of the popup reminders, though, as I usually leave my computer on all the time.
I've come to love eaziPEARLS!
So while I have not reached my goal yet (and I knew this was a long term goal) I definitely know that your program helps me in my planning and organizing, and getting me closer to my objective.
when I read your book and you quoted Joseph Murphy a few times... that is what started me on this new path of self-discovery. I cannot possibly begin to tell you how much of a better place I am in now because of that!!! For the first time in my life I am happy just for the sake of it."

I've included a chapter from one of my favorite books by Og Mandino's, University of Success.
By Cavett Robert
Back in 1935 I had a privilege I shall always cherish.
I was invited to a luncheon as a guest. To my amazement and delight Will Rogers was the speaker. This was one of the last speeches Will Rogers ever made because a few weeks later he and Wiley Post started their flight around the world. We all know the tragic death they met in Alaska.
Now Mr Rogers did not have the scholarly flavor or the academic taste that one might expect from some of the economic prognosticators of his day. But in a few words he gave some of the most profound advice I have ever heard.
I’ve read many books on success. I’ve heard dozens upon dozens of records on this same subject. But I don’t believe there is a surer formula or a more certain blueprint leading to success, if followed conscientiously, than this one.
“If you want to be successful,” he said, “it’s just this simple.”
“Know what you are doing.”
“Love what you are doing.”
“And believe in what you are doing.”
“Yes,” he said, “it’s just that simple.”
Now let’s look into this advice a little more closely.
Know what you are doing
First, know what you are doing. There is no substitute for knowledge.
In our approach to knowledge we must realize that preparation is a constant process with no ending. It must be forever moving, never static. School is never out for the person who really wants to succeed. There is no saturation point. All economic research centers agree that because of the rapidly changing phases of our economy, the average person in any line of endeavor today, regardless of his particular field, must be retrained at least four times during his lifetime. Think of this:
What was not only right, but even plausible yesterday, is questionable today and might even be wrong tomorrow. It is somewhat disenchanting, I know, to find that just as we learn one role in life we are suddenly called upon to play an entirely new part, unrehearsed, as the drama of life must go on either with us, or without us.
Knowledge is accumulating so fast and methods of doing things improving so rapidly that a person today must run to stand still.
Up to 1900 it was said that the accumulation of knowledge doubled every century. At the end of World War II, knowledge doubled every twenty-five years. Today all research centers tell us that the volume of knowledge in existence doubles every five years. Where does that leave the person today who thinks he can stand still and survive?
True success is a journey, not a destination
The constant demands of readjustment offer a challenge today that never existed before. No longer is preparation something that can be put in a drawer and forgotten about. Success itself has taken on a new definition. It might even be termed today as the constant and continuing preparation of ourselves to meet the constant and continuing changes of our economic system. Yes, success today is a journey, and not a destination.
Furthermore, in making this trip the important thing is that we must be constantly moving forward – yes, the progressive realization of a predetermined goal. And our growth should never end. Any person who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved, has already defined his own limitations. When we cease to grow, we begin to die.
Horizons of change
One of the confusing mysteries to a child who travels along any road is that he cannot ever catch up with the horizon. None of us today can ever catch up with the horizons of change. We can only move in their direction. I am sure it is a blessing that our reach does not exceed our grasp. If our ambitions in life can be fully reached, then we have not hitched our wagon to a star. We would do a great injustice to anyone if we painted the journey as being a path of roses. It is a pilgrim’s road, full of obstacles and sacrifices. The only promise we can make is that if a person is willing to brave the hazards of the road, he will grow strong n the journey and keep pace with changing times.
I am sure you agree with me that regardless of how well qualified a person may be to meet the rigors of life today, if he is lulled into a sense of false security in feeling that he needs no additional preparation for the future, that his journey can ever be ended, soon he will find that he is lost in the frustrations of medieval thinking.
We have heard it said many times that there is nothing in life as powerful as an idea whose time has arrived – knowledge that is timely. If ideas are to be current, and if knowledge is to be up to date, they must be forever moving, never static.
And so, first and foremost, we must embrace the principle that in order to be knowledgeable in these changing times we must pursue a constant program of self-improvement, a never-ending journey into new fields of knowledge and learning.
