Heart Warmers

1. When you are born, all the people around you are smiling and you are crying, live your life in such a way such that when you die, all the people around you are crying and you are smiling.

2.Dream what you want to dream and do what you want to do, becos you have only one life to live and don't ever live to regret.

3. The person who goes on well in life lives on a forgotten past and an optimistic vision about the future.

4.The best kind of friend is those type that both of you can sit down , say nothing, but after you leave, you feel like you have juz finished the best conversation ever.

5.Be gentle to yourself when you find that your love is not reciprocated...there is nothing you should do and there is nothing you can do...juz be contented that love comes and knocks on your door before.

6. When one door of happiness closes, open your heart and don't dwell on the closed door..........as usually, another door of happiness will be opened for you.

A Candle

There was this man who was walking along the beach at low tide when he came to a spot where there were thousands of starfish left on the sand by the receding waves. He was saddened that all of them would die under the noonday sun.

A short distance ahead of him he saw a man wearing a red hat picking up a star fish and throwing it into the water. Every few yards, this man with the red hat stopped, picked up another star fish and threw it into the water.

Finally, the first man hurried up to the one with the red hat and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I am saving the star fish."

"That's silly," replied the first man, "There are so many of them that it really doesn't matter."

With that, the man with the red hat stooped down, picked up another star fish, threw it in the water and said, "To that one it matters."

That story reinforces the words of Dr. Thomas Anthony Dooley, which he so beautifully expressed in his book, *The Night They Burned the Mountain*. Dr. Dooley said, "It's better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."

Specially for women

WOMEN have strengths that amaze men and often intimidate them.

They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.

WOMEN wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend or relative after a late night drive home.

WOMEN have special qualities about them. They volunteer for good causes. They are pink ladies in hospitals, they bring food to shut ins.
They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys, stay-at-home moms, biker babes and your neighbours. They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms.
They fight for what they believe in. They stand up for injustice. They are in the front row at PTA meetings. They vote for the person that will do the best job for family issues.

WOMEN walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in the right schools and for getting their family the right health care. They write to the editor, their congressmen and to the "powers that be" for things that make for a better life. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

WOMEN stick a love note in their husband's lunch box. They do without new shoes so their children can have them. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally.

WOMEN are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power; but they still know how to use their softer side to make a point. WOMEN want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

WOMEN are happy (or cry) when they hear about a birth or a new arriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.

A WOMAN'S touch can cure any ailment. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. She can make a romantic evening unforgettable.

WOMEN come in all sizes, in all colours and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!

WOMEN bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. All they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with.

Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Let's salute our women for what they have done for us - the men.

cheers,

DEALING WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY

Have you ever had one of those presentations where you really hit it
off with a prospect? It was like the two of you had known each other
for twenty years. Then, in the same day you talk with a prospect and
no matter what you say or do, you can't seem to make any progress.
Sound familiar? This is a common problem for internet marketers.
The reason for this is that every person has their own personality.

There are four distinct personalities, so if you are dealing with all
people the same way, then you are only handling a quarter of the people
correctly. No person is ever totally one personality. We are all
mixtures, but you will discover that people operate primarily in one of
the four types. Here are the four personality types you will encounter
and the associated characteristics:

Analytical & Amiable:
Ask a lot of questions; speak softly; move slowly; very little eye
contact; will lean back in chair; no hand gestures; patient;
cooperative; calm.

Driver & Expressive:
Tells you things; speak loudly; fast movements; direct eye contact;
lean toward you; animated hand gestures; impatient; competitive;
excitable; enthusiastic; outwardly; positive.

As you meet prospects, try to determine their personality type. Take
notes and compare them to the characteristics listed in this section.
The more you study personalities and the better you understand how to
recognize them, the better you will do in business and in life. Next,
you will want to know how to best handle each personality type.

Analytical:
Let them feel they are right; give them facts first; stress the
rational and logical facts; observe time constraints; compliment them
regularly; give quick, precise answers.

Driver:
Dress professionally; get right to the point; do not waste time; stress
results; ask questions that force attention; change voice inflection to
maintain interest; put everything in writing; let them feel they are in
control; give them choices.

Amiable:
Be friendly and build rapport quickly; talk emotionally; don't pressure
them; take your time; reassure them regularly; allow them to include
others in decisions; give them one positive choice; help them justify
their decision.

Expressive:
Present the "big picture"; talk emotionally; recognize them as being
important; put details in writing and explain carefully; reassure them
regularly.

Recognizing the different personality types and being capable of
working with them at their level will make prospecting more fun and you
will recruit more people with less effort.
