Author: AJ ChorenPartly Owned by the "Enemy" In August of 1997, Microsoft gave Apple a cash injection, paying $150 million for 150,000 shares of Apple Series A, non-voting stock. In return, a number of patent disputes between the two companies were settled, Microsoft agreed to continue developing software for the Mac platform and Apple pledged to include Internet Explorer as the default web browser on the Macintosh. On the face of it, most people...more
Author: Michael G ThompsonYour cold sore outbreaks; have you never thought of them as being an attack on your body? What about attacks on your life or your personal relationships? This should start you thinking in an entirely different way, because as those horrid little sores develop around your mouth, scatter across your cheeks, or as they can do, pop up just about anywhere else on your body, they most definitely are in fact, attacking you. By...more
Author: Matthew TooneWho determined that pancakes have to be round? Seriously – have you ever thought about that, or do you make them round just because everyone else does? I certainly realize that pouring the batter into a circular shape is much easier than making a pancake into an octagon, and mom probably raised you on circular pancakes, but does that necessarily mean that pancakes must continue to be round? Now, what are the other ‘pancakes’ in your life that you consciously (or unconsciously) continue to do simply because the majority, the culture, or even your parents do it that way? Or, do you persist in doing these ‘pancakes’ simply because they are easier? And do you realize that the accomplishment of your dreams and goals often entails making ‘pancakes’ a different way? I know, the analogy of a pancake seems silly, right? Actually, it has incredible application to our goals and dreams in life. First of all, why do we make pancakes into a circular shape: 1) Due to gravity and the laws of physics, pouring batter onto a grill or pan will naturally result in a relatively circular shape – thus, we do what is natural. 2) We each are busy and often do not have...more

The reason is because being average or just good is certainly easier than the work required to become great or successful in anything....more
Author: Matthew TooneThe very concept of giving to receive is counterintuitive to our normal thought process, because if and when we do give it is usually after we have received. And yet ironically, many who have achieved great successes have long been aware of the fact that giving before receiving is perhaps more important than receiving and then...more
Author: Matthew TooneUsually, the difference between success and failure is attempt! Courage is more important than ability, faith is more powerful than experience, and action produces far more than knowledge. Ironically, the majority of our daily actions require taking a risk; in fact, progress and risk are synonymous. Thus, we must not only develop the ability to take calculated risks, decide confidently, and act quickly, but to also realize that avoiding failures, listening to fears and doubts, practicing idleness, and being content with mediocrity is just as risky. As Niccolo Machiavelli perfectly stated, we need to “make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth, [and to] develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.” What are your goals and dreams in life? Would achieving them require you to take a risk? What is it that prevents you from taking that risk? The answer to such a question is different and personal for everyone; but undoubtedly, the answer falls under one of these categories: lack of belief in yourself, unwillingness to put in the necessary work required, scared of the ‘what if’ or what could go wrong, afraid that you possibly...more
