FamilyRe: When Love Dies, Will You Stay For The Sake Of Your Children? by ellagold(m): 12:26pm On Jul 22, 2010
Love endures,

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths.
In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life.

There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation.

There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other.

There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take?

What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way?

Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?


There are no guarantees.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life.

Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned.

So please as you make your decision remember love endures,
FamilyRe: Do You Use Abusive Words On Your Kids by ellagold(m): 12:01pm On Jul 22, 2010
Spoken words are very powerful,i am very careful how i talk not only to my children but other people as well especially when i am angry.

We are all familiar with the old adage that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?" That is such a false statement. Of course words can hurt you, and often times they do. When spoken by a loved one, its effect can feel even more detrimental. The harmful effect that words have can often be permanent regardless of intent.

A person's self-esteem and self worth are invaluable. One can't assume to postulate the value that mere words either written or spoken can have on those around them. Ones self-esteem is how they feel about themselves. When harmful words are all you hear over and over again, the magnitude of its very negative connotation can be stagnating. Eventually, one starts to believe these words to be true.

I PLEAD with anyone using abusive words on their kids or anyone to please stop it.

Hi forumites,

While many people believe they are entitled to live a great life,
top achievers I've met over the years know they
must take 100% responsibility for achieving the lifestyle,
relationships, financial freedom and opportunities they
experience in their lives.

This isn't always easy.
But one way to start making progress is to begin
responding differently to the events that occur in your life.

I challenge you to be courageous,what lies within you is far greater than you can ever imagine,

BusinessTips for event planners by ellagold(op): 2:35am On Mar 24, 2010
The festive season is around the corner,so many event are line up ,likewise so many people like you are already calculating how they are going to make millions.

There are many tips that you can use to become an event planner and become one of the best, however, you need to know that to become an excellent event planner you need to pay attention to the fine details and offer the best to your clients. This can take a lot of time from your day-to-day activities. To become an event planner you need to put forth a lot of energy and time.

1. The first tip and the most important one is that you need to get in contact with some of the best supplies. You need to have a business contract and connection with many suppliers so that you can offer the best to your clients. Remember when you have the best suppliers; your reputation will be excellent.

2. Also, always give your clients options. Have a least a dozen venders that you work with on a regular basis so that your clients can choose from a few options. When you give your clients options they will feel more evolved in the planning process.

3. You need to think about what kind of events that you will plan. They can be small dinners to huge weddings so you need to come up with creative ways to bring life to a party. There are going to be a lot of signatures styles, but if you continuously research then you can keep up on trends and event activities.

4. When you are doing a wedding that is multicultural, you need to learn about both of the cultures that they want present in the wedding. This will give you a better understanding of the traditions that they want to honor.

5. You also need to think about your location of business. Is your office somewhere respectable or in the ghetto? You need to make sure that your clients are going to feel comfortable in your office. This way you can have more cliental.

6. As an event planner you need to learn how to communicate effectively. You need to know what is acceptable and what is not by reviewing all your details with the clients. The party isn't about you, but the clients. You need to keep that in mind. Even if you think sometime is wrongfully place, listen to your clients needs and wants.

7. Another way for you to enhance your reputation is to keep ties with the clients who were very pleased with your performance. Use them as references, but always ask before giving out any information. This way you can give future clients and idea of your quality.

8. You may also want to ask your clients if you can take general pictures of the event so that future clients will be able to see what exactly you are capable of doing. This is will make a lot of people hire you on the spot.

9. Talk to the client and set a budget before contacting any of your suppliers. This way you can communicate effectively with your suppliers and clients. You can offer the best possible solutions and ideas within a budget. If you can pull off an extraordinary event within a budget, then you will be recommended to everyone. There are only two things that matter and that is the design and cost of an event.

10. Finally, you need to have a personality that allows you to interact with others and really hear what others want. You need to have the strength to handle everything with a collective attitude, as well as, make the planning process fun for your clients. Your personality and the way you handle things makes a huge difference in being a successful event coordinator or an okay planner.

LiteratureRe: Get Motivated by ellagold(m): 3:11am On Nov 26, 2009
Thanks for the info, Kindly consider this few words below about[b] Getting Motivated
[/b]

Personal Motivation The fastest and Easiest Way To Be Successful
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What better way to motivate ourselves to move towards our goals than to have the object of our fascination as a source of motivation? If we want to live in a bigger house, let that house be our motivation. If we want to have a better job, let that new job with a big paycheck be our motivation. And if we want to have an international business, why not let that international business give us the nudge we need to trudge forward.

I have come to understand that the biggest obstacle and challenge to being successful in life is the lack of personal motivation. Sometimes, when we’re halfway through a journey, we find ourselves slacking. It’s like writing a novel. Novel writers will happily tell you about how easy it is to start a project and how difficult it is to see it through to the end.
Achieving success is a lot like that. You have a million and one starts, and practically not a single ending. Or even if we have lots of endings, most of them maybe premature and way off the excellent pre-determined goal.

Never lose sight of success

The fastest way to success is to always keep your eyes on that success all the time. Consistently. Never peel your eyes away from the fact that one day, you’re going to get what you want in life. It’s not hope. It’s not a wish. It’s not even a goal! It has to be a fact. When you think success is not an option but a fact, the faster you will get it.

Take, for example, Olympic swimmers. If Olympic swimmers want to get their gold medals, they are trained to go through a series of mind-boggling workout sessions every single day and are consistently psyched up about WHEN they are going to achieve their goals. Not IF but WHEN. Only when they start viewing the gold medal as a necessity, envisioning the gold medals hanging from their clothes hook on their wall will they feel adequately motivated to move
unwaveringly towards that goal.


I’ve personally heard of people who are so geared for success that they are literally living in a world of success, enjoying the things that they would enjoy when they are successful. This plays up the part of it being the biggest motivation, and when it is all around you, you
cannot ignore it.

By surrounding themselves with successful people or success-minded people the rewards are limitless. Not only are their friends able to share their positive views on how to better reach their goals, they are in the position to motivate each other and share tips and tricks!


Nevertheless I think there’s nothing better than self-motivation. Try making a book of dreams to help remind you of your goals. Cut and paste pictures of people or things that can remind you of your goalsand let yourself smell success every time you flip those pages.

Author and Pastor, E. W. Kenyon once said; what you do for yourself counts far more than all that others have done or can do for you. This is very true. Personal motivation is the key.
