Thought of the Week |
"It
is impossible to live without
failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as
well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by
default."
- JK Rowling 2008 Harvard Commencement Address

Week's Trivia Question |
According
to legend, it's good luck to throw back the first fish you catch - if
you do, they say you'll be lucky for the whole day. But
there's
something that - if you do it - will limit the number of fish you
catch. What is it? Go fishing below for the answer!

Yes
Is So
Positive...
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz
There is a story about
John Lennon's first encounter with Yoko Ono. He attended the
pre-opening viewing of one of her shows. Her art was mostly strange and
experiential.
The story goes that he climbed up an unsteady ladder to look through a
small eyeglass where he found a single word: yes. It's been reported he
later said that if it said "no" he wouldn't have been interested in
getting to know her!
It is funny how the word "yes" is always looked at as so positive and
wonderful. And it is great, don’t get us wrong. We
like
"yes" as much as the next person. But clearly, "no" has
gotten a
bad rap. No wonder so many people feel damaged, deflated, and depressed
when they hear the word "no!" It's a hated word.
Guess what? If you sell a product, service or yourself you are going to
hear the word no. Don't kid yourself. The only way you'll stop hearing
"no" is to quit entirely. And a lot of people do. They've been taught
(programed) that no is bad. It's a failure. And people don't like to
feel like failures. And if they feel bad about something they won't do
it.
Yet all the successful people - in whatever endeavor you are involved
in - have gotten tons and tons of "no's" suffering all types of failure
and rejection. They have learned that they are not failures. They have
essentially reprogrammed their thinking. They know that, yes
is
the destination... but no is how you get there!

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie

"Most
people think it's the end, that it's over, that's it, they have to just
move on. It's not, it's just that sometimes, most often it's a light,
maybe sometimes the light's yellow and sometimes the light's red and
you just have to get around what the issues are." - Millie Rosenbloom

Mind Over Back Pain
by John Sarno, M.D. Not the traditional type of
recommendation
since only a percentage of you likely suffer from back pain, but if you
do, you know that this debilitating condition can literally take
over your life! Forget about going for no... all you want to do is lie
down and not move. So, if this is you, make your way
(slowly) to the computer and get this book! Yes, you think
you've
tried everything, but this just might be THE thing to get your life
back (it was for both of us!)

Week's Trivia
Answer |
If you
count the number of fish you've caught at any given time, legend says
you'll catch no more for the rest of the day! (kind of makes
you
want to avoid tallying up your sales, huh?)
