How to Trip Around The Universe Without Leaving The Comfort Of Your Own Home!
I suppose someone has got to do the dirty work. I wonder how many applicants there will be for his replacement?

What does this teach our kids?
I deal with businesses around Leicester (who produce high quality garments for high street stores) who would love to be able to compete fairly for this work.
I personally experienced attending my first day at secondary school dressed like an ex prisoner of war, the war my Grandparents fought in to ensure my (and your) freedom of choice. I feel that Monopolies like this certainly should not be allowed.
I have learned how to laugh about it now but it wasn't funny at the time.
I try to influence my kids to be competitive by all means BUT on a level playing field, anything other than this is cheating, to win by FAIR means is the name of the game! I, for one, do not want the education system influencing my kids to believe in cheating.

My Plums Are Just Too Big!
I heard the weather has been good for fruit this year, A mixed bag of sun and rain. Not for my plum tree, there is so much fruit that the branches have literally dropped off, they couldn't stand the strain.

There Are Thirteen Steps! Heres one of them
The First step towards Riches
In this chapter, Napoleon Hill talks about the starting point of all achievement - Desire. He writes that the desire, or impulse to achieve something in life, can be so great that any obstacles no matter how big or small cannot stop an individual from reaching the goal he has set up for himself. A person with burning desire, an obsession with success can go to any lengths until he succeeds. Failure does not bother him and in fact he uses it as a stepping-stone to fuel his burning desire for achievement.
Napoleon Hill mentions a couple of stories of everyday common people who in the face of insurmountable odds came out victorious.
Read on to understand how desire can change a mans life.
Mr.Edwin C. Barnes had one consuming obsession of his life; in fact it was a burning desire to become a business partner with a great inventor. So extraordinary was his desire to become the business associate of Thomas A. Edison that he caught a freight train to Orange, New Jersey because he never had money to pay for the fare. After arriving he straight made his way to Edison office and presented himself and asked Mr.Edison for a opportunity to become his business partner.
Mr.Edison was very impressed with Barnes determination that he gave him a chance to work in the office at a very nominal wage. He worked with great eagerness but never gave up the desire to be his business partner. He waited for his opportunity and when it came in the form of a new invention known at that time as the Edison Dictating Machine. Mr Edison's salesmen were not very excited over the machine. They Believed that the machine had no future and thus selling it would be a difficulty.
Barnes knew that he could sell the product and suggested this to Edison who agreed immediately. Barnes did sell the machine and went to become Edison?s partner. He was so successful that Edison gave him a contract to distribute and market the product all over the nation. In fact their business grew by the slogan, ?Made by Edison and installed by Barnes.?
So strong was his desire that he achieved what he was out for. That is all there is to the Barnes Story of success!
So we see that just wishing will not make a person rich but one must desire richness with a state of mind that becomes a passion, then planning definite ways and means to acquire those riches and not recognizing failure but persisting with a one track mind towards your goal. You may as well know that you can never have enough riches unless you work hard for it, it is a well known fact that as you shall sow , so shall you reap. You should know that every great leader, poet or actor are dreamers. In fact so intense are their dreams that they see their dreams in spiritual form before it can transpire into physical form. If you do not see riches in your imagination you will never see them in your bank balance.
Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, he put his dreams into action and despite more than ten thousand failures; he stood by his dreams until he made it a physical reality
Lincoln dreamed of freedom for the black slaves, put his dreams into action, and barely missed living to see a united North and South translate his dream into reality.
The same way The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through air now one may see evidence all over the world how successful their dreams were. Always remember that practical dreamers do not quit!
As Napoleon Hill says ?All who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heart-breaking struggles before they arrive?.
How can one harness and use the power of desire? This has been answered in this and the subsequent chapters in this book.

Me Me Me influences
I'm going to kick off with with my first Me Me Me blogger blog.
Think and Grow Rich: Gold Edition: A must read for entrepreneurs, businesses, webmaster and other professionalsHi,
Glynn Hobson here,
Glynn Hobson here,
I was thinking about where to start with this me me me blog, as I have said, it is to be about me and who I am (and hopefully WHY I am). Intended mainly as a 'reference point' for my family BUT you are more than welcome to visit!
I have been recalling what I consider to have been major influences in my life (by the way I am 56 years old now) and one that came immediately to mind takes me back to the early 70's.
Not long turned 20 years old, married and a new family (my daughter Clare Marie). And all the pressures that came with this new experience. I left a secure job in the Education sector, I was a technician at our local Technical College (Mexborough Schoffield Technical college) studying engineering. Secure but not enthralling! And I needed more income.
I left this position and after a short spell in 'Work Study' I joined the ranks of the Self Employed selling Personal Accident Insurance, I was crap at it, I just could not believe I was offering the best product for the best price. I put insurance in the same category as "Gambling".
The Company would supply us with motivational material which, if my memory serves me well, was called "Success Unlimited" by (I think) Edwin Stone? Anyway it pointed me to a book called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. A guy encouraged by Carnegie to study successful people and analise their successes so that others could replicate them.
Over 30 years later and I STILL READ THIS BOOK.

Me Me Me
Hi there,
This is Glynn Hobson @ MeMeMe.Biz
Just getting this blog started, my intention is to link this blog to a site that I built a while ago http://mememe.biz
I am hoping to get some social interaction here but my main aim is to use it like a journal, something for my family to relate to in years to come. Only the truth (as I believe it to be) as I don't want a work of fiction, just an honest record of ME and how I feel about my past, present and future. What influences my daily life, my habits, likes, dislikes etc.. What past influences STILL control a fair portion of my daily thinking/moods.
