STORY for Your WEEK
By Byron Pulsifer, © 2011
 
We can all talk about plans and what we want to do but we can all also talk about obstacles that may prevent us from doing what we wish to do. These obstacles can be of many flavours some coming at us out of the blue, and some driving toward us with a huge head of steam. But, are these obstacles insurmountable?
 
Several years ago, we had a plan; it was a plan to move out of the city and buy a country property. The next part of the plan was to live without debt using my small pension as our source of income.
 
The first obstacle came after we  . .. . Read the rest of the story….. http://www.wow4u.com/obstaclein/index.html

STORY for Your WEEK
The Power Of Your Words
By Byron Pulsifer
 
We may not all be created equal in every attribute but we all have several things in common. So, what are these things? All of us have the same amount of seconds, minutes and hours in a day to do with as we desire.  We also have individual power although some may think not because they live in countries where they are ruled by a strict dictator or military government. But, even these people have power.
 
This power is in their words, how they say them, what words they choose to use, and when to speak these words. These words can be ones that ridicule, make fun of, chastise, or one that encourage, praise or demonstrate kindness. I recall a story told to me by a good friend of mine who used to. . .

QUOTES for Your WEEK
Let no man imagine that he has no influence. Whoever he may be, and wherever he may be placed, the man who thinks becomes a light and a power.
Henry George
 
You are in charge of your feelings, beliefs, and actions. And you teach others how to behave toward you. While you cannot change other people, you can influence them through your own behaviors and actions. By being a living role model of what you want to receive from others, you create more of what you want in your life.
Eric Allenbaugh
 
The humblest individual experts some influence, either for good or evil, upon others.
Henry Ward Beecher
 
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has.
Hamilton Wright Mabie
 
We can also adversely affect those around us whether we choose to act like arrogant and uncaring people, or think we know everything, or by setting unrealistic expectations, or by refusing to encourage others as if a positive remark would belittle our own status.
Byron Pulsifer

The Best Is Not Always The First Available Action
By Byron Pulsifer, (c) 2011
 
There was a time when I took over an organization that was in need of some major changes in order to not only utilize its resources to the maximum but in order to survive. This was a time when downsizing was heavily on the minds of corporate executives and every service was on the chopping block.
 
Now, as a manager, I had a fairly open hand to do . . ..

The Power You Can Not Buy
By Byron Pulsifer, © 2011
 
Who do you know who has a lot of power? Maybe you know some famous business leaders who own and run large corporations worth millions of dollars or you may know some famous politicians, successful authors, or individual speculators in real estate who have made it big. Each of these types of people probably have buying power beyond what you ever imagined, or professional power to influence the policies or events of a country, or even the power to make or break careers as they see fit.

STORY for Your WEEK
An Important Question
By Byron Pulsifer
 
Throughout the years, there are many important questions that you need to ask. Some of these questions revolve around what educational needs you foresee to launch a successful career; where are you going to live; who are you going to marry; do you want children; what type of house do you want that would satisfy your needs and desires; what plans should you make for financial security before you reach retirement. All of these questions are important at different stages of your life but no matter when the question is asked, a clear and decisive answer is required.
 
I never thought much about any of these questions as a young man. But, this all changed one eventful day during . . . . . . .
