The “Back to Basics” - The Three R’s
In turbulent times, we do well to re-assess basics: Where are we, and where do we want to go. Our re-assessment may uncover nothing … or silver-linings on the edges of dark clouds. What we uncover depends largely on our attitude. Studies indicate that attitude determines as much as 88% of success. Positive attitude is critical for leaders, managers, salespeople … everyone who wants to keep learning and earning!

How to Motivate Yourself Financially
I once knew a guy who had terrific ideas, would talk them up at hurricane force, and then go off and putter away at something else. He would lose his momentum before he even got going. What's the point?
Rebuilding Through Social Enterpreneurship
On television in Bangladesh, I watched with great sadness the horrors Katrina unleashed on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I was so tempted to be there to participate in post-disaster activities, as we have so much experience with these kinds of disasters. But I knew my American friends did, too. Having studied at Vanderbilt and traveled extensively in the affected areas names of places and faces of people were so familiar. A friend of mine from Ecuador even sent me a picture taken in Biloxi 39 years back to remind ourselves that we were there!

How Disasters Can Teach Lessons of Gratitude
In the world today, we encounter a lot of negativity, pain, stress and natural disasters. Many days, we wake up with far too much to do, far too much to think about, far too many concerns, and far too many problems. In Virginia where I live, in the span of less than one week, we experienced a "terrible triad:" an earthquake, a tornado and Hurricane Irene; three major natural disasters capable of causing devastation, tragedies, and causalities. So many of us went through life's inconveniences facing another triad of problems: no lights, no air-conditioning, no television. Having witnessed three natural disasters in one week has made me readily come to believe that it is a good idea to start each day with inspiration and gratitude to help us make it through the day with positive thoughts. This helps to remain focused on your goals.
