In my Ten Ways self-help manual, I referred to a definition of luck given by someone as: “when preparation meets opportunity”. Well, that was just one of the many definitions of luck that have been given by people who have achieved success (see more below). Some people always try to explain away another person’s success (or lack of it) as being due to luck (or bad luck). But the fact remains very obvious to anyone who will take an objective look at the issue. There is NO shortcut. Lasting success, very frequently, comes to those who apply themselves with commitment to a chosen cause. Continue reading

Be Impossible To Ignore!
In his New York Times Bestseller titled “Startup Entrepreneur”, James R. Cook summed up the lessons he learned about PERSISTING in his marketing, until he made a sale, by stating that Marketing is “like throwing mud at a barn wall. After a while, some of it begins to stick
How To DEFEAT Haters – Permanently!
Life is full of ups and downs. Quite often, to get to the top, we first have to endure going DOWN, and having to exert ourselves to climb back up and BEYOND where we originally fell from.
Challenges we face will come in various forms. In order to qualify for the reward of success we seek in life, we will have to take them on, and overcome.
Haters, whether they know it or not, are helpers of those they hate ON. The key is for the HATED to understand this, and use it to his/her advantage.
Jim Rohn advised: “Be grateful for adversity, for it forces the human spirit to grow… He explained that there cannot be achievement in the absence of adversity…we have to achieve IN SPITE of adversity, if we are to truly succeed.
This is why complaining never helps. When haters turn their lenses on you, and begin to viciously backstab or openly castigate you, that will be the time for you to be at your adrenaline boosted best. Continue reading

This Report Explains What I Did
I have chosen to share the story behind my discovery with you, to illustrate how having a questioning mind, being willing to GO OUT and get answers (and also being a SHREWD thinker, with a focus on frugality) can help one make very useful discoveries that could boost one’s productivity, and even those of others.
Like I said earlier, some technology gurus and other people with relevant exposure already know how to do what I did. However, the TRUTH is that the larger majority, who use smart phones, may not be familiar with this kind of useful/cost-saving method for browsing the web. I have also noticed out here, that those who know, are sometimes reluctant to share with others, even if they are offered financial or other rewards to do so.
They just prefer to keep it to themselves. As a Performance Enhancement Specialist, my goal is to explore, discover and document strategies that can help as many people as possible function at their optimal best, to achieve their goals at work and in life, in as many areas of endeavour as I can be relevant. And I aim to earn profitable rewards from doing so, over time. This report is just another of many efforts towards achieving that purpose.

Geniuses & Highly Successful People Are NOT Always Nice Guys! (E.g. Steve Jobs & Bill Gates)
In fact, many people who achieve phenomenal levels of success, can be quite difficult to LIVE WITH or GET ALONG WITH – especially if/when you fail to meet the high standards they strive to maintain.
I believe this does not make them bad. They are just so ruthlessly focussed on achieving their goals that they feel compelled to dispense with niceties, if they feel it will aid “progress”.
Majority of us in the public never get close enough to see this side of them however. Those who have to live with, and work for hugely gifted and driven people like Jobs, are the ones that enjoy that “privilege”. In Steve Jobs Was A Jerk, You Shouldn’t Be , a reflection on this “dark side” of the late Steve Jobs, by David Coursey , this timeless TRUTH once again comes across as reality.
Because we humans do not like to speak ILL of the dead, it is understandable that news about them rarely dwells on their faults – especially when they achieved positive things that benefited the majority.
I recall reading articles in which Bill Gates was reported to erratically throw tantrums at employees in meetings when someone said something he did not like. A favourite expression he had was “That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard!”.
Here’s an excerpt from one of many reports of this “Bill Gate-ism” on websites results returned in Google: Continue reading
