I have a mate who loves to participate in charity cycling events. It’s the races that go for days & days. Craig has a day job, but he just has a passion for cycling for a cause. In preparation, he would train. He would go some crazy hours on the bike each day to build [...]

Former San Fransisco 49ers  wide receiver, Jerry Rice, is one the greatest receivers of all time. But he also was well known and had a reputation for having the sharpest uniform on the field.

They say that the American President is the most powerful person in the free world. I would not blame you if you look at any President, Prime Minister, or even CEO’s of the Fortune 500 companies, and say, “I could never be the President…I could never be the CEO…I’m just me.” Below is a list [...]

Mediocrity, contentment, status quo, comfort-zone-living, too-hard-basket…will all hold you back and keep you there. This is when life becomes mundane, ordinary, repetitive, on rinse and repeat. To really make a difference you have to be different and do different. Rise above. [...]

Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. By accident? No. Edison had 1,093 patents during his lifetime. Edison was one focused dude when it came to inventions. He would attempt to purposely put his brain into a state of where theta brain waves would work for him. Theta Brain Waves. What are “theta brain waves”? These [...]

Mozart: Everyone knows the musical genius and prodigy Mozart.; who composed and performed by the age of six! That’s keen! Less well known is the Mozart who invested thousands and thousands of hours of focused practice starting at age three. Three! What we don’t pay attention to is that this genius lay not just in [...]

Yesterday men invented the light bulb, planes, trains, cars, telephones, tv’s and radios.

Put your dream across, and never mind what “they” say if you meet [...]
