Endure
where is the focus of your life?
"Are you intent on fame?
Or are you reaching deep inside?
How are you playing the game?
Do you wish to amass a fortune or to transform yourself?
Loss can be gain, pleasure can lead to pain.
Hearts must be led
minds must be trained.."
We must open our hearts to the deepest values. Embracing the truth of our divinity and living through love and not fear.Open your heart to wisdom and wisdom guides you to deepest truth and joyful life....(TAO)

Top Ten Qualities Of Highly Successful People
We have all read about people who are successful briefly. They win a gold medal, make a fortune, or star in one great movie and then disappear.…These examples hardly inspire.
My focus and fascination is with people who seem to do well in many areas of life, and do it over and over through a lifetime. We all know examples of such people who go from one success to another.
They have the following traits in common:
1.They work hard! Yes, they play hard, too! They get up early, they rarely complain, they expect performance from others, but they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off.
2.They are incredibly curious and eager to learn. They study, ask questions and read—constantly! An interesting point, however: While most of them did well in school, the difference is that they apply or take advantage of what they learn. Repeated success is not about memorizing facts, it's about being able to take information and create, build, or apply it in new and important ways. Successful people want to learn everything about everything!
3.They network. They know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to friends, neighbors, co- workers etc. They don't have to be "the life of the party," in fact many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. Successful people have a Rolodex full of people who value their friendship and return their calls.
4.They work on themselves and never quit! While the "over-night wonders" become arrogant and quickly disappear, really successful people work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, and every other detail of life. When a relationship or business deal goes sour, they assume they can learn from it and they expect to do better next time. Successful people don't tolerate flaws; they fix them!
5.They are extraordinarily creative. They go around asking, "Why not?" 6.They see new combinations, new possibilities, new opportunities and challenges where others see problems or limitations. They wake up in the middle of the night yelling, "I've got it!" They ask for advice, try things out, consult experts and amateurs, always looking for a better, faster, cheaper solution. Successful people create stuff!
7.They are self-reliant and take responsibility. Incredibly successful people don't worry about blame, and they don't waste time complaining.
8.They make decisions and move on.…Extremely successful people take the initiative and accept the responsibilities of success.
9..They are usually relaxed and keep their perspective. Even in times of stress or turmoil, highly successful people keep their balance, they know the value of timing, humor, and patience. They rarely panic or make decisions on impulse. Unusually successful people breath easily, ask the right questions, and make sound decisions, even in a crisis.
Extremely successful people live in the present moment. They know that "Now" is the only time they can control. They have a "gift" for looking people in the eye, listening to what is being said, enjoying a meal or fine wine, music or playing with a child. They never seem rushed, and they get a lot done! They take full advantage of each day. Successful people don't waste time, they use it!
10.They "look over the horizon" to see the future. They observe trends, notice changes, see shifts, and hear the nuances that others miss. A basketball player wearing Nikes is trivial, the neighbor kid wearing them is interesting, your own teenager demanding them is an investment opportunity! Extremely successful people live in the present, with one eye on the future!
Repeatedly successful people respond instantly! When an investment isn't working out, they sell. When they see an opportunity, they make the call. If an important relationship is cooling down, they take time to renew it. When technology or a new competitor or a change in the economic situation requires an adjustment, they are the first and quickest to respond.
These traits work together in combination, giving repeatedly successful people a huge advantage.
And finally, none of these traits are genetic! They can be learnt.
