Creating a "Man Cave" has become extremely popular with men everywhere. This popularity actually includes any women in their lives, too! A space for a man to have that is his own special area to relax, have fun, and just enjoy himself is important in any home. Whether the space is created in an extra bedroom, a basement, a den. or in a garage that is attached or detached, the space should cater to what each individual man enjoys, such as hobbies, favorite sports, or other interests. In many homes where there is a partner, be it man or woman, who typically does all of the decorating, a designated room for the significant other creates a good equilibrium to the balance.
Enter the "Chick Shed"! The chick shed is all about the woman and her needs to have her own retreat, also! Like the Man Cave, the Chick Shed can be created among any of the previously mentioned areas. The primary decorator of the home, be it man or woman, will many times choose to go with neutral, or mutually identifiable decor. Therefore, the need for a Chick Shed is apparent as the need for a Man Cave! An area to keep all of her favorite things to do is as easily attained as an area for the man!
Depending upon the person's interests a Man Cave or a Chick Shed could include hobbies for the garage, such as car rebuilding and restoring, woodworking and carpentry, or even metalworking. An area that is large enough to contain large projects and large equipment is important. For cars, trucks, or motorcycles, there should be plenty of room to safely maneuver around and under the vehicle. A good tool box or tool bench is also necessary. Proper ventilation is also important for these kinds of Man Caves. Exhaust from vehicles should be properly vented with a hose that leads to the outside of the building.
When woodworking and metalworking ample space should be dedicated to the different types of saws, a jointer, a planer, sanders, lathes, and drills that are required. Shelving and tool benches or boxes are needed for storing hardware like vises, nails, and screws needed for projects. There are many kinds of saws made for specialty woodworking such as: a circular saw, an oscillating saw, a jigsaw/reciprocating saw, table saw, and a band saw. These are some of the most important kinds of saws to own. Combined with all of the other woodworking tools needed, a large area is needed to accommodate the amount of tooling and room to work for project completion. Proper eye protection goggles and face masks to protect against debris from wood and metal are essential components for either the woodworking or metalworking.
When metalworking a proper metal work table or bench is needed. Layout tools such as a combination square, marking pencils, centerpunch, and a scriber can be stored on a bench or in a tool box, also. Drills, tig welders or mig welders with the proper tanks of gas should have enough room to store. The work table should be made of a thick metal with nothing flammable in the immediate area, The gas bottle should be chained to a wall, with the chains attached to wall studs. If welding, a welding jacket, welding gloves, and welding helmet are also a must for protection.
The Man Cave or Chick Shed could include a small indoor archery range, or a hunting, camping, or hiking preparation area. The set-up for this could include peg boards attached to the walls with hooks for hanging fundamental items needed. Having a large area for a camping preparation area is crucial to the success of storing camping items, as well as hiking items. Tents, hiking boots, backpacks and other items can be set up to dry out if they have been in the snow or rain, so that they may be put away dry and free of any mold or mildew.
A game room is another fantastic idea for a Man Cave or a Chick Shed. A pool table, a card gaming table, and a chess set at the ready placed upon a small table are ideal items to have in the room. In addition, a t.v. and a gaming console can be mounted to the wall or placed on shelving. Retro pinball games, a ping-pong table, an air-hockey or football table, and a shuffleboard are a few more fun ideas to place in the game room. The game room could include a set-up for a band to practice. Building a stage in the corner of the room or along a wall makes a dedicated area for the band instruments and equipment. the room completion can include decor related to any hobby or interest.
A Man Cave or Chick Shed for pottery would be perfectly contained in an attached or unattached garage. A pottery wheel and chair should be place with plenty of room to work and not be bothered by any splatter that may be made during the forming of each piece. Shelving to store clay, paints, glazes, unfinished and finished pieces should be abundant. A firing kiln is essential for the finishing of all pieces made.
Another idea for the Man Cave or Chick Shed is to create an Art Studio. A well-lit room, preferably with windows for lots of natural light, in addition to electrical lighting is ideal for seeing colors and works in progress perfectly. A table to hold easels for painting and a stool or a chair to sit upon while working are a necessity. A variety of easel sizes to accommodate different sizes of canvases for painting can be stored in a cabinet or on shelving. Free-standing easels may be placed in the room, also. A tool box in variable sizes according to how many art mediums the person wants to use would be a good place to store paints, whether they be acrylic, oil, or milk-based. It can also be used to store brushes.
An art studio can include a variety of arts that do not have to be painting. Visual arts such as wire art, mosaic art, felting art, card-making art, drawing and illustration, and stained glass art are all forms that work well for creation in a studio Man Cave or Chick Shed. Crafted types of art, from molding clay models, creating jewelry, wood carving, to model car and ship creations can all be done in the Cave or Shed. Textile creations like designing, cutting fabric, and sewing are another idea for the studio. Any kind art a person can conceive in their mind, would be superb for the Cave or Shed Studio.
In the case of Man Caves and Chick Sheds the possibilities are endless, and mutually needed! The imagination and interests of each person are what create the perfect Cave or Shed. So let your love for all things "you" expand into a room that suits those loves. There will never be any regret to pamper and supply yourself with things to do in your life that make you feel satisfied, accomplished, or simply relaxed and happy! Cheers to the Man Cave and the Chick Shed!

What You Can Get for $175k Near Allentown, Pennsylvania
by Ellen Kershner on February 25th, 2020
These communities near Allentown, Pennsylvania have a lot of options for budget-minded homebuyers.
Before Allentown reinvented itself in the 21st century, it was one of the largest iron producers in the United States. Its economy flourished in the 1850s and 1860s, but it went on a roller coaster ride for the next 150 years or so. Then, in 2009, things changed with its Neighborhood Improvement Zone legislation. This lead to over $1 billion in development, including the PPL Center and the revitalization of its downtown.
With all this new life breathed into the region, it's not surprising that so many active adult homebuyers are interested in Allentown area real estate. And since the cost of living is lower than in other parts of Pennsylvania, there's a good selection of budget-friendly retirement communities. Allentown is also part of the lovely Lehigh Valley near New York City and Philadelphia and known for the historic town of Bethlehem, covered bridges, holiday festivals, golf courses, skiing, and whitewater rafting.
The four retirement communities we've profiled below have price points at $175k and under, and they're 30 minutes or so from downtown. They're small to mid-sized communities, and they offer attached or single-family homes.
Arbours at Morgan Creek - Quakertown, PA
High $100s - High $200s
With a desirable Bucks County zip code, Arbours at Morgan Creek is near the Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market, Nockamixon State Park, and countless more indoor and outdoor attractions. It's also close to the center of Quakertown, where you'll find St. Luke's Hospital, a Walmart Supercenter, restaurants, and other shops and services.
This Ryan Homes 55+ community broke ground in 2006, and it will have 85 new and resale attached homes when completed. The two attached carriage-style floor plans feature 1,528 or 2,250 square feet with two or three bedrooms, two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms, first-floor master suites, unfinished basements, and attached two-car garages. Plans for a private clubhouse are in the works, and the property has a walking trail, a gazebo, and a scenic pond.

The Village at Upstream Farm is also down the road from Forks Township which has a grocery store, a community center, restaurants, post offices, and other services. Drive a few miles further south and you'll run into Downtown Easton.
The three attached floor plans are sized from 991 to 1,180 square feet with one or two bedrooms, one or one-and-a-half bathrooms, and attached one-car garages.

Podcast: LA Galaxy sign a defender, release a defender, and are out of the US Open Cup
2018 Season, CoG From The Box, Game Recap, Injuries, LA Galaxy, Major League Soccer, US Open Cup
On today's show, your hosts will walk you through the LA Galaxy loss to the Portland Timbers in the US Open Cup, plus talk about the club's newest addition — defender Sheanon Williams.
CoG Studios, CA (Moscow, Russia) — The LA Galaxy fell in their round-of-sixteen US Open Cup match in Portland by a score of 1-0. But in a very even match, there isn't much to get upset about.
On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman (CA, USA) and Kevin Baxter (Moscow, Russia) are back to give you the latest in Galaxy news and also touch on some tournament that is going on in Russia. With Kevin holding down the Moscow outpost and Josh firmly planted in Southern California, they've put together a show that will need to hold you over until the Galaxy get ready to play again on June 30.
First, the guys will give you an update on the dos Santos brothers and why you didn't see them in Mexico's opening group-stage victory over Germany. Josh and Kevin will discuss Mexico's victory in that vein and also have some fun talking about the World Cup — we don't get to do it every day.
Then the guys will get you through the highlights of the Galaxy's loss to the Portland Timbers in the Open Cup including a first-half adjustment that Josh thinks could've prevented the only Timbers goal. And while the Galaxy losing is a big story, the guys will also discuss the injuries to Ola Kamara and Sebastian Lletget. Did the Galaxy actually weather the storm of rapid-fire games without too many broken bodies? And will the glutton of games continue after the World Cup break?
Finally, Josh and Kevin will dive deep into the Galaxy's signing of defender Sheanon Williams, the release of defender Emrah Klimenta and why the timing all seems a little fishy. And did the Galaxy really keep a guy from an International call-up just to release him a couple weeks later?
We're glad you could join us for 60-minutes of Galaxy talk and we can't wait to take a few days off in preparation for the second half of the Galaxy's season.

Investors concerned that the bottom's about to drop out of the U.S. equity market may have longer to wait. Portfolio manager Alan Berro explains his reasoning.
Matt Miller: Your portfolio responsibilities are almost exclusively U.S.-based, so why don't we start there. What's your outlook for U.S. equities? How are you thinking about where things stand?
Alan Berro: When I look at the U.S., a lot of people say, "Oh, we're late cycle," and, you know, "This has been going on for a long time." I would break it up into what's going on with policy, what's going on with the economy and then what's going on with markets.
Alan Berro: — which I'll get into later.
Matt Miller: But it's on the agenda potentially, correct?
Alan Berro: That's still looming out there. So, I would say policy-wise, we're early cycle.
The economy, we're probably more mid-cycle. But we're not late cycle in a lot of respects, in that growth has actually been accelerating this year and looks like it has pretty good momentum. When you look at all of the economic indicators — unemployment 3.9%, weekly claims 200,000 — I mean, that's a number we haven't seen since the late '60s. We were 650,000 in weekly claims in the heat of the financial crisis in 2009, so that just tells you how far we've come. But usually you don't end at that point; you would start to see things like that trend back up. So, employment's great. Corporate earnings are going to be very good this year. When you look at autos, those are strong.
There are a lot of things in the economy that all look really solid right now, and not like we're entering a recession in the next 12 months. A lot of people think the second half of 2019, we're going to have a recession. Right now, there is so much momentum, I think that we're further out than that. We have other opinions, of course, around Capital.
Alan Berro: The market ... Look, the market's been up for 10-plus years, so it's hard to say the market's early cycle. But I'm not seeing the kind of excesses that we would usually see at the end of a market cycle.
Matt Miller: Say more about that.
Alan Berro: Well, when you think about earnings multiples, earnings on the S&P are going to be up 20% to 25% this year. A lot of that's due to the tax cut. But in terms of earnings, you're looking at $150 to $160 on the S&P this year, going to $170 or $180 next year. And there are people out there that have estimates of $190 to $200 in 2020. The market's at 2,900 and change today.
Alan Berro: — frothy area that we've seen before. This is not like the tech bubble in 2000. This isn't like the housing financial bubble that we saw in 2007- 08- 09. So, I'm not seeing those kinds of excesses. Could we have a 5%, 10%, 15% correction? Those can happen anytime for any reason. But do I see a 50% — really severe downturn, deep-recession — global-type crisis? There's nothing that I see out there today that really leads me to that conclusion.
So, yes, I do have a cautious eye on the market, because we have been going up for 10-plus years. But I think there are reasons that you can see that we could go for a while longer. And it may not be that the market goes up. Maybe we just go sideways for a while, hard to tell. But I just don't see signs of huge excesses and things that would make me really worry about where we're going from here.

PERFECTION – Chapter 21 – The Tentacles of the Socialist-Marxist Takeover
August 18, 2022 November 15, 2022 ~ Michael Young, Sr.
THE TENTACLES OF THE SOCIALIST-MARXIST TAKEOVER
(It is already in your home, government, schools, hospitals, churches and food production. It is in your Federal, State and local governments.)
The United Nations – The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – The Commission on Global Governance – The United Nations Globalist Great Reset – Agenda 21 – Agenda 2030 – The Global Community – The Council on Sustainable Development – U.N.C.E.D. – International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives – The Social Security Administration – The Internal Revenue Service – etc.
Explosive documents have surfaced which exposed a planned genocide based on a Malthusian population control method, in order to save the planet from a depletion of resources due to overpopulation.
Was the release of the Corona-19 virus and the resulting 'pandemic' an accident, or was it a carefully executed plan of population reduction? Before you cry, "Oh, just another conspiracy theorist nut", do your homework.
The LEFT, that is progressives, liberals, democrats and socialists, Marxists all, have been propounding population control, in concert with Communist China, for the last 75 years. They have pushed for population control through birth control methods, abortion, legalized euthanasia, by encouraging and endorsing homosexuality, transgenderism and wars. But, with the continued growth of world population, the worldwide Globalist-Marxist movement has activated and unleashed the most insidious and evil plan to date.
Their reasoning is based on the argument that the world is overpopulated and that the only way to save the planet from environmental doomsday is to force people to have fewer children, which has been the rallying cry for Stalinist population control measures around the world. Their methodology is based on extreme Malthusianism.
"Malthusianism is the idea that population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply or other resources is linear, which eventually reduces living standards to the point of triggering a population die off.
Deo-Malthusianism is the advocacy of human population planning to ensure resources and environmental integrities for current and future human populations as well as for other species. (Source, Wikipedia)
Stephen Moore, a columnist for The Washington Times, and a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation and an economic consultant with FreedomWorks, writes in a Washington Times article, "China took the population control crusade to a whole new level when it instituted its notorious one-child policy. To this day there are tens of millions of females demographically missing in China. The homicidal environmental policy was cheered on by the United Nations and many of the same left-wing activists and organizations that preach "reproductive freedom" and women's rights. Similarly brutish population control programs were implemented in Africa, India, Egypt and many South American nations. To save the planet, babies had to be prevented.
Fortunately, scholars like the late Julian Simon of the University of Illinois proved that human beings do not deplete the world's resources, but help discover and create them. A larger number of human beings — especially when combined with freedom and free enterprise — leave the planet materially and environmentally better off not worse off.
Simon also showed that freedom and prosperity are the best forms of contraception. Population growth happened because we found ways to conquer early death — with infant mortality rates falling by 70 percent and 80 percent — and eradicate killer diseases like small pox and tuberculosis.
Poverty – Where it all Started – A Video
The Malthusians were not just immoral; they were dead wrong on their population projections.
All of those population forecasting models that predicted standing room only on the planet over the next 25-50 years were lies. In the 1970s, the left predicted a population by today of more than 10 billion people. The number is closer to 7.5 billion.
These doomsday demographic models of the future were about as accurate as the climate change models predicting catastrophic temperature changes have been.
What the population control crowd didn't see happening was that population growth has radically slowed down — and not because of government edicts. As people get richer and freer, couples have chosen to have fewer, but healthier children. In most countries of the world today — including in China — the tragedy is not too many children, but too few.
But at its core, the radical greens really do believe that the fundamental problem with the human race is that there are too many of us. People are the pollution. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Prince Harry are urging people to have fewer or no kids. Rep. Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez wondered earlier this year whether young women should feel ethically bound to not have children so as to help prevent climate change. At the end of the day, she rejected that lunacy idea, but the very idea that liberals had to ask the question shows how anti-human the left has become.
This is a fundamentally anti-Judeo-Christian ideology that disrespects human life and — as history proves all too well — can lead to dastardly consequences for basic human rights and economic progress. Human ingenuity is the solution to, not the cause of, environmental problems, and the constantly changing climate of our planet." (Full article at "Democrats Embrace Population Control")
An article by Human Life International, the world's largest pro-life and pro-family Catholic advocate, Dr. Brian Clowes, PhD, explains that "the United States National Security Council, highest decision-making body regarding foreign policy in the United States, on December 10, 1974, completed a top-secret document entitled National Security Study Memorandum or NSSM-200, also called The Kissinger Report, since Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State at the time it was written.
"The Subject of NSSM-200 is "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." This document, published shortly after the first major international population conference in Bucharest, was the result of collaboration among the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Departments of State, Defense and Agriculture.
"NSSM-200 was made public when it was declassified and was transferred to the U.S. National Archives in 1990.
"Although the United States government has issued hundreds of policy papers dealing with various aspects of American national security since 1974, The Kissinger Report continues to be the foundational document on U.S. government population control. It therefore continues to represent official United States policy on government population control and, in fact, is still posted on the USAID website.
"NSSM-200 is critically important to pro-life workers all over the world, because it completely exposes the unsavory and unethical motivations and methods of the population control movement. We can use this valuable document to lay bare the strategies used by unscrupulous governments and "aid" agencies that are used to bend developing nations to their wills. Their rote denials will be useless in the face of this evidence."
"According to The Kissinger Report, elements of the implementation of government population control programs could include the legalization of abortion, financial incentives for countries to increase their abortion, sterilization and contraception-use rates, indoctrination of children, and mandatory population control and coercion of other forms, such as withholding disaster and food aid unless an LDC implements population control programs.
"This last strategy, force and coercion applied to developing countries, is currently used by the population control cartel to push not only abortion, sterilization and birth control, but other evils such as homosexuality and transgenderism.
"There are dozens of examples of this kind of blatant injustice, including the following:
When Nigeria refused to legalize contraception and homosexuality, the United States withdrew financial and military aid that would allow it to combat the Islamic terror group Boko Harem, which has murdered and kidnapped tens of thousands of people in that nation.1
When Ecuador declined to legalize abortion, the United Nations refused to provide any aid for it to battle COVID-19, condemning many more Ecuadorians to death.2
When Kenyan pro-lifers collected irrefutable evidence that Marie Stopes International (MSI), one of the largest abortionists in the world, were committing illegal and dangerous abortions on a vast scale, MSI demanded that they be either muzzled or jailed.3
The United Nations Population Fund halted food and other aid to millions of starving Yemenis because the nation refused to legalize abortion.4
When Zambia refused to legalize sodomy, the United States withdrew much-needed foreign aid to help alleviate the 11% national HIV infection rate and to care for 250,000 AIDS orphans.5
The Joint United Nations Program on AIDS [UNAIDS] threatened to withdraw all of its aid from the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia unless it approved language supporting abortion and homosexuality in a political declaration on HIV/AIDS.6" (It is important to read this full article. Go to Human Life International – population control).
Although the global fertility rate is in a steep decline, the Globalists Marxists and Communists, through the United Nations, have decided that in order to reach their proposed goals by the date they had set, the year 2030, they needed to accelerate the process of negative population growth. So, it appears they have taken matters into their own hands and in 2019, early news reports pointed to a virology lab in Wuhan, China, which may have released the Corona-19 virus. Since that time, a cover story has emerged and spread throughout the liberal and Leftist media, worldwide, claiming the Corona-19 virus was transmitted from either bats or a pangolins, (scaly ant eaters).
It was reported widely in the news media that democrats in America were using the phrase, "Don't let a good pandemic go to waste". So, we should ask if the Covid-19 pandemic was the Globalist's opportunity to accelerate their Agenda 2030 completion? (see COVID-19 & GLOBALISM).
The United Nations Global Movement is a complexity of a myriad of sub-organizations, (tentacles), hiding behind many names under the control and direction of the Unite Nations. It is the United Nations which formulated the Agenda 21, which claims to be a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. Its lofty sounding goals and programs are designed to deceive the observer and obscure the nefarious Marxists methodology and end game.
Now, what began as Agenda-21 (the "21" represents the 21st century), has evolved into what is now known as Agenda-2030, and has brazenly stated it will have accomplished all its goals by the year 2030. It has and is achieving what the people could not have imagined possible just a few decades ago.
There is much more to be written and said on these matters, but I will leave you with some important links for further information and study on the enemies we face and solutions.
The Heartland Organization is one of the world's leading conservative free-market think tanks. It is a national nonprofit research and education organization based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Its mission since its founding in 1984 is to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems.
The Heartland Organization is an "action tank" as well as a "think tank," and we measure our success by the impact we have in the real world. The Heartland Institute plays an essential role in the national (and increasingly in the international) movement for personal liberty and limited government. We are the pipeline between the freedom movement's leading writers and thinkers and the nation's 8,400 national and state elected officials.
Human Life International is a Catholic, Pro-Life mission, teaching the world to value life and to follow God's plan for the family. In1972, Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B founded the Human Life Center to fight the spread of abortion and breakdown of the family. In 1981, the Human Life Center became Human Life International.
Now we travel the world helping local leaders build a pro-life culture in their families, communities, and countries. The anti-life movement is huge. But we save lives and souls every day with the help of our amazing supporters. Together, we can build a culture that values life at every stage. Legal abortion will never end unless we can change the way our culture treats sexuality and marriage.

Crystal Structures of an Enantioselective Fab-Fragment in Free and Complex Forms.
Parkkinen, T., Nevanen, T.K., Koivula, A., Rouvinen, J.
Enantioselective antibodies can separate the enantiomers of a chiral compound in a highly specific manner. We have recently reported the cloning and applications of a recombinant Fab-fragment, ENA11His, in the enantioseparation of a drug candidate, finrozole, which contains two chiral centers. Here, the crystal structures of this enantioselective antibody Fab-fragment are determined in the absence of the hapten at a resolution of 2.75 A, and in the presence of the hapten at 2.05 A resolution. The conformation of the protein was found to be similar in both free and complex forms. The hapten molecule was tightly bound in a deep cleft between the light and heavy chains of the Fab-fragment. The complex structure also allowed us to describe the molecular basis for enantioselectivity and to deduce the absolute configurations of all the four different stereoisomers (a-d) of finrozole. The ENA11His antibody fragment selectively binds the SR (a) enantiomer from the racemic mixture of a and d-enantiomers, thus allowing separation from the pharmacologically most active RS enantiomer (d). In particular, Asp95 and Asn35 of the H-chain in the ENA11 His antibody seem to provide this specificity through hydrogen bonding.

By its power to change the lives of those who read it, this unusual book has won a distinctive place in world literature. It is a small classic, designed to help us make the best use of the most priceless possession we have, time.
The proverb that time is money understates the case. Time is the inexplicable raw material of everything. Without it nothing is possible. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle. You wake up in the morning, and lo! Your wallet is magically filled with 24 hours of the unmanufactured tissue of your life. It is yours. The most precious of possessions showered upon you in a manner as singular as the commodity itself!
For remark! No one can take it from you. It is unstealable. And no one receives either more or less than you receive. Wealthy or genius is never rewarded by even an extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. Waste this precious commodity as you will, and yet the supply will never be withheld from you.
You have to live in this 24 hours of daily time. Out of it you have to spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect and the evolution of your immortal soul. If one can't contrive to live on a certain income of money, one earns a little more, or one braces the muscles and balances the budget. But if one cannot arrange that an income of 24 hours a day shall exactly cover all proper items of expenditure, one does muddle one's whole life definitely.
Which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter this or that when I have a little more time?" Which of us is not haunted by the feeling that the year slip by, and slip by, and that we have not yet been able to get our lives into proper working order? We have, and we have always had, all the time there is. It is the realization of this profound and neglected truth that has led me to the minute practical examination of daily time-expenditure.
The most important preliminary to the task of arranging one's life so that one may live fully and comfortably within the daily budget of 24 hours is the calm realization of the extreme difficulty of the task, of the sacrifices and the endless effort which it demands. I cannot too strongly insist on this. If you are not prepared for discouragements, if you will not be content with a small result for a big effort, then do not begin. Lie down again and resume the uneasy doze which you call your existence.
It is very sad, is it not? And yet I think it is rather fine, too, this necessity for the tense bracing of the will before anything worth doing can be done. I feel it to be the chief thing that differentiates me from the cat by the fire.
The chief beauty about the constant supply of time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted a single moment in your career. Therefore no object is served in waiting till next week, or even till tomorrow. But before you begin, let me warn you against your own ardour. Ardour is a treacherous thing. You can't satisfy it at first; it is eager to move mountains and divert the course of rivers. And then, too often, it wearies all of a sudden and dies.
Beware of undertaking too much at the start. Allow for accidents. Allow for human nature, especially your own. A glorious failure leads to nothing; a petty success may lead to a success that is not petty.
Therefore, in setting out on the immense enterprise of living fully within the narrow limits of 24 hours a day, let us avoid at any cost the risk of an early failure.
Now let us examine the budget of the days' time. You say your day is already full to overflowing. How? You actually spend in your earning your livelihood – how much? Seven hours, on the average? And in actual sleep, seven? I will add two hours, and be generous. And I will defy you to account to me on the spur of the moment for the other eight hours.
To come to grips with the situation, I must choose a typical case – say a businessman who works in an office. Now the great mistake which my typical man makes in regard to his day is a mistake of general attitude which vitiates two third of his energies and interests. In the majority of instances he does not precisely feel a passion for his business. He begins his business functions with reluctance, as late as he can, and he ends them with joy, as early as he can. And his engines while he is engaged in his business are seldom at their full horsepower.
Yet in spite of all this he persists in looking upon those hours from nine to five as "the day," to which ten hours preceding and the six hours following are nothing but a prologue and epilogue. Such an attitude of course kills his interest in the odd 16 hours, with the result that, even if he does not waste them, he does not count them; he regards them simply as margin. If a man makes two thirds of his existence subservient to one third, for which he has no feverish zest, how can he hope to live fully and completely? He cannot.
To live fully and completely he must arrange a day within a day. And this inner day, a Chinese box in a larger Chinese box, must begin at 5 p.m. and end at 9 a.m. During all these 16 hours he has nothing whatever to do but cultivate his body and his soul and his fellow men. During those 16 hours he is free; he is not a wage-earner; he is just as good as a man with a private income. This must be his attitude. And his attitude is all-important. His success in life depends on it.
In examining the typical man's method of employing the 16 hours that are entirely his, I will merely indicate things which he does which I think he ought not to do, postponing my suggestions for "planting" the times which I shall have cleared – as a settler clears spaces in a forest.
In justice I must say that he wastes very little time before he leaves the house in the morning. In too many houses he gets up, breakfasts and then bolts. But immediately he bangs the front door his mental faculties, which are tireless, become idle. He walks to the station in a condition of mental coma. Arrived there, he usually has to wait for the train. At hundreds of suburban stations every morning you see men calmly strolling up and down platforms while railway companies unblushingly rob them of time, which is more than money. Hundreds of thousands of hours are thus lost every day because my typical man thinks so little of time it has never occurred to him to take quite easy precautions against the risk of its loss.
He has a solid coin of time to spend every day. He must get change for it, and in getting change he is content to lose heavily. For that is what he does when the company robs him of five minutes twice a day… you say I am dealing with minutiae. I am. And later on I will justify myself.
You get into the morning train and you calmly give yourself up to your newspaper. Your air is the air of a leisured man, wealthy in time, of a man from some planet where there are 124 hours a day instead of 24. I am an impassioned reader of newspapers. Hence it is not prejudice when I say that since they are produced with rapidity, to be read, with rapidity, there is no place in my daily programme for them. I read newspapers as I may in odd moments. As for devoting to them 30 or 40 consecutive minutes of wonderful solitude, I cannot possibly allow you to scatter priceless pearls of time with such oriental lavishness. You are not the Shah of time. Let me respectfully remind you that you have no more time than I have. No newspaper reading in trains! I have already "put by" about 30 minutes for use.
Now you reach your office. And I abandon you there till five o'clock. I am aware that you have an hour in the midst of the day, less than half of which is given to eating. But I will leave you all that to spend as you choose. You may read your newspaper then.
I meet you again as you emerge from your office. You are pale and tired. At any rate, your wife says you are pale, and you give her to understand that you are tired. You don't eat immediately on your arrival home. But in about an hour or so feel as if you could sit up, and take a little nourishment. After dinner you smoke, seriously; you see friends; you putter; you play cards; you flirt with a book; you take a stroll; you caress the piano… By Jove! A quarter past ten. Time to think about going to bed! You then devote quite 40 minutes to thinking about it, and at last you go to bed, exhausted by the day's work. Six hours have gone since you left the office – gone like a dream, gone like magic, unaccountably gone!
That is a fair sample case. But you say: "It's all very well for you to talk. A man is tired. A man must see his friends. He can't always be on the stretch." Just so. But when you arrange to go to the theatre (especially with a pretty woman) what happens? You spare no toil to make yourself glorious in fine raiment; you rush back to town; you keep yourself on the stretch for four hours, if not five; you take her home; you take yourself home. You don't spend three quarters of an hour in "thinking about" going to bed. You go. Friends and fatigue have equally been forgotten, and the evening has seemed exquisitely long (or perhaps too short!).
And do you remember that time when you were persuaded to sing in the chorus of the amateur operatic society, and slaved two hours every other night for three months? Can you deny that when you have something definite to look forward to at eventide, something that is to employ all your energy – the thought of that something gives a glow and a more intense vitality to the whole day?
What I suggest is that at five o'clock you look facts in the face and admit that you are not tired (because you are not, you know), and that you arrange your evening so that it is not cut in the middle by a meal. By so doing you will have a clear expanse of at least three hours. I do not suggest that you should employ three hours every night of your life in using up your mental energy. But I do suggest that you might, for a commencement, employ an hour and a half every other evening in some important and consecutive cultivation of the mind.
You will still be left with three evenings for friends, bridge, domestic scenes, odd reading, pipes, gardening and pottering. If you preserve you will soon want to pass four evenings, and perhaps five, in some sustained endeavour to be genuinely alive. And you will fall out of that habit of muttering to yourself at 10:15 p.m., "Time to be thinking about going to bed." The man who begins to go to bed 40 minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living.
But remember, at the start, those 90 nocturnal minutes thrice a week must be the most important minutes in the entire 10,080. They must be sacred, quite as sacred as a dramatic rehearsal or a tennis match. Instead of saying, "Sorry, but I have to run off to a bridge game," you must say, "… but I have to work." This, I admit, is intensely difficult. Bridge is so much more urgent than the immortal soul.
In the average case I should say: Confine your formal programme to six days a week. If you find yourself wishing to extend it, extend it; but count the time extra as a windfall, not as regular income, so that you can return to a six-day programme without the sensation of being poorer, of being a backslider.
Let us now see where we stand. So far we have marked for saving out of the waste of days half an hour at least six mornings a week, and one hour and a half on three evenings a week. Total, seven hours and a half a week.
"What?" you cry. "You pretend to show us how to live, and you only deal with seven hours and a half out of 168! Are you going to perform a miracle with your seven hours and a half?" well, not to mince the matter, I am – if you will kindly let me! My contention is that the full use of those hours will quicken the whole life of the week, add zest to it, and increase the interest which you feel in even the most banal occupation.
It is not really a trifling effort to "clear" even seven hours and a half from the jungle. One may have spent one's time badly, but one did spend it. To do something else means a change of habits. And habits are the very dickens to change. Some sacrifice, and an immense deal of volition, will be necessary. Hence I iterate and reiterate: Start quietly, unostentatiously.
Before coming to the method of using the indicated hours, I have one final suggestion to make. That is, to allow much more than an hour and a half in which to do the work of an hour and a half. Remember the chance of accidents. Remember human nature. And give yourself, say from 9 to 11 for your task of 90 minutes.
People say: "one can't help one's thoughts." But one can. The control of the thinking machine is perfectly possible. And since nothing whatever happens to us outside our own brain, the supreme importance of being able to control what goes on in that mysterious brain is patent. For without the power to concentrate – that is to say, without the power to dictate to the brain its task and to insure obedience – true life is impossible. Mind control is the first element of a full existence. Hence, it seems to me, the first business of the day should be to put the mind through its paces. It is for this portion of the art and craft of living that I have reserved the time from the moment of quitting your door to the moment of arriving at your office.
"What? I am to cultivate my mind in the street, on the platform, in the train?" Precisely. Nothing simpler! No tools required! Not even a book. Nevertheless, the affair is not easy.
When you leave your house, concentrate your mind on a subject (no matter what, to begin with). You will not have gone ten yards before your mind has skipped away under your eyes and is larking round the corner with another subject. Bring it back by the scruff of the neck. Ere you have reached the station you will have brought it back about 40 times. Do not despair. You cannot by any chance fail if you persevere. It is idle to pretend that your mind is incapable of concentration. Do you not remember that morning when you received a disquieting letter which demanded very carefully worded answer? How you kept your mind steadily on the subject of the answer until you reached the office: whereupon you instantly sat down and wrote the answer? That was a case in which you were roused by circumstances to such a degree of vitality that you were able to dominate your mind like a tyrant. You insisted that its work should be done, and its work was done.
By the regular practice of concentration (as to which there is no secret – save perseverance) you can tyrannize over your mind every hour of the day, and in no matter what place.
It is for you, I passionately repeat. Indeed, you are the very man I am aiming at. Throw away the suggestion, and you throw away the most precious suggestion that was ever offered to you. Try it. Get your mind in hand. And see how the process cures half the evils in life – especially worry, that miserable, avoidable, shameful disease: worry!
The exercise of concentrating the mind is a mere preliminary, like scales on the piano. Having acquired power over that most unruly member, one has naturally to put it to the yoke. A course of primary study is indicated.
Now as to what this course of study should be there cannot be any question. It is the study of one's self. Man, know thyself. These words are so hackneyed that I blush to write them, yet only the most sagacious put them into practice. I don't know why. I am convinced that what is more than anything else lacking in the life of the average well-intentioned man of today is the reflective mood.
We do not reflect. I mean we do not reflect upon genuinely important things; upon the problem of our happiness, upon the main direction in which we are going, upon what life is giving to us, upon the share which reason has (or has not) in determining our actions, and upon the relation between our principles and our conduct. For happiness does not spring from physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles.
Do not fear that I mean to thrust certain principles upon your attention. All I urge is that a life in which conduct does not fairly well accord with principles is a silly life; and that conduct can only be made to accord with principles by means of daily examination, reflection and resolution. The less we reflect, the less reasonable we shall be. The next time you get cross with the waiter because your steak is over-cooked, ask reason to step into the cabinet-room of your mind, and consult her. She will probably tell you that the waiter did not cook the steak, and had no control over the cooking; and that even if he alone was to blame, you accomplished nothing by getting cross; you merely lost your dignity, looked a fool and soured the waiter, while producing no effect whatever on the steak.
The result of this consultation with reason (for which she makes no charge) will be that when once more your steak is overcooked you will treat the waiter as a fellow creature, remain quite calm and politely insist on having a fresh steak. The gain will be obvious and solid.
In the formation of principles, and the practice of conduct, much help can be derived from books. I suggest Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. I may also mention Pascal, La Bruyere and Emerson. But no reading of books will take the place of a daily, candid, honest examination of what one has recently done, and what one is about to do – of a steady looking at one's self in the face (disconcerting though the sight may be).
When shall this important business be accomplished? The solitude of the evening journey home appears to me to be suitable for it. A reflective mood naturally follows the exertion of having earned the day's living. Of course, if, instead of attending to an elementary and profoundly important duty, you prefer to read the paper (which you might just as well read while waiting for your dinner) I have nothing to say. But attend to it at some time of the day you must. I now come to the evening hours.
Many people remain idle in the evenings because they think there is no alternative t idleness but the study of literature; and they do not happen to have a taste for literature. This is a great mistake. There are enormous fields of knowledge quite outside literature which yield magnificent results to cultivators. For example, you go to concerts and you enjoy the music. But you say you cannot play the piano or the fiddle. What does that matter?
Surely your inability to perform "The Maiden's Prayer" on a piano need not prevent you from making yourself familiar with the construction of the orchestra to which you listen. As things are, you probably think of the orchestra as a heterogeneous mass of instruments producing a confused agreeable mass of sound. You do not listen for details because you have never trained your ears to listen to details.
If you were asked to name the instruments which play the great theme at the beginning of Beethoven's C Minor Symphony – which has thrilled you – you could not name them for your life's sake. All that you can positively state about the C Minor Symphony is that it is a "fine thing." Now, if you have read one of many books on "how to listen to music," you would go to the next concert with an astonishing intensification of interest in it. Instead of a confused mass, the orchestra would appear to you as what it is – a marvellously balanced organism whose various groups of member each have a different and an indispensable function.
You would spy out the instruments, and listen for them. You would know the gulf that separates a French horn from an English horn. You would live at a concert whereas previously you had merely existed there in a state of beatific coma, like a baby gazing at a bright object.
What applies to music applies to the other arts. I might mention books on "how to look at pictures," or "how to judge architecture," as beginnings (merely beginnings) of a systematic vitalizing knowledge in other arts.
"I hate all the arts!" you say. My dear sir, I respect you more and more. I will deal with your case next, before coming to literature.
Art is a great thing. But it is not the greatest. The most important of all perceptions is the continual perception of cause and effect – of the continuous development of the universe.
It is hard to have one's watch stolen, but one reflects that the thief became a thief from causes of heredity and environment which are as interesting as they are scientifically comprehensible; and one buys another watch, if not with joy, at any rate with a philosophy that makes bitterness impossible. One loses, in the study of cause and effect, that absurd air which so many people have of being always shocked by the curiousness of life. Such people live amid human nature as if human nature were a foreign country. But, having reached maturity, one ought surely to be ashamed of being stranger in a strange land.
The study of cause and effect, while it lessens the painfulness of life, adds to its picturesqueness. The man to whom evolution is but a name looks at the sea as a grandiose, monotonous spectacle. The man who is imbued with the idea of continuous cause and effect perceives in the sea an element which in the day-before-yesterday of geology was vapour, which yesterday was boiling, and which tomorrow will inevitably be ice. Nothing will afford a more durable satisfaction than the constantly cultivated appreciation of this tremendous, changeful picturesqueness of life.
Perhaps you happen to be an estate agent's clerk, and you hate the arts, and you want to foster your immortal soul, and you can't be interested in your business because it's so humdrum. Nothing is humdrum. The tremendous, changeful picturesqueness of life is marvellously shown in an estate agent's office. There was a congestion of traffic in Oxford Street; to avoid the congestion people actually began to travel under the cellars and drains, and the result was a rise of rents in Shepherd's Bush! And you say that isn't picturesque! Suppose you were to study, in this spirit, the property question for an hour and a half every other evening. Would it not give zest to your business, and transform your whole life.
You are a bank clerk, and you have not read that breathless romance (disguised as a scientific study), Walter Bagehot's Lombard Street? Ah, my dear sir, if you had begun with that, and followed it up for 90 minutes every other evening, how enthralling your business would be to you, and how much more clearly you would understand human nature.
You are "penned in town," but you love excursions to the country and the observation of wild life – certainly a heart-enlarging diversion. Why don't you walk out of your house door to the nearest street lamp of a night with a butterfly net, and observe the wild life of common and are moths beating about it, and coordinate the knowledge thus obtained and build a superstructure on it, and at last get to know something about something?
You need not be devoted to the arts, not to literature, in order to live fully. Th whole field of daily habit and scene is waiting to satisfy that curiosity which means life, and the satisfaction of which means an understanding heart.
Novels are excluded from the "serious reading" of 90 minutes three times a week – for the reason that bad novels ought not to be read, and that good novels never demand any appreciable mental application on the part of the reader. A good novel rushes you forward like a skiff down a stream, and you arrive at the end, perhaps breathless, but unexhausted. The best novels involve the least strain. Now in the cultivation of the mind one of the most important factors is precisely the feeling of strain, of difficulty, of a task which one part of you is anxious to achieve and another part of you is anxious to shirk; and that feeling cannot be got in facing a novel.
Imaginative poetry produces probably the severest strain of any form of literature. It is the highest form of literature. I say this with the sad consciousness of the fact that the majority of people do not read poetry. If poetry is what is called "a sealed book" to you, begin by reading Hazlitt's famous essay on the nature of "poetry in general." It is difficult to imagine the mental state of the man who, after reading this essay, is not urgently desirous of reading some poetry before his next meal.
If you are antagonistic to poetry, then there is history or philosophy. Herbert Spencer's First Principles, for instance, simply laughs at the claims of poetry and refuses to be accepted as aught but the most majestic product of any human mind. I do not suggest it as a work suitable for a tyro in mental strains. But I see no reason why any man of average intelligence should not, after a year of continuous reading, be fit to assault the supreme masterpieces of history or philosophy. The great convenience of masterpieces is that they are so astonishingly lucid.
I offer two general suggestions for self-improvement through reading. The first is to define the direction and scope of your efforts. Choose a limited period, or a limited subject, or a single author. Say to yourself: "I will know something about the French Revolution, or the rise of railways, or the works on John Keats." And during a given period confine yourself to your choice. There is much pleasure to be derived from being a specialist.
The second suggestion is to think as well as to read. I know people who read and read, and for all the good it does them they might just as well cut bread-and-butter. They fly through the shires of literature on a motorcar, their sole object being motion. They boast of how many books they have read in a year.
Unless you give 45 minutes of careful, fatiguing reflection (it is an awful bore at first) upon what you are reading, your 90 minutes of a night are chiefly wasted. This means that your pace will be slow. Never mind. Forget the goal; think only of surrounding country; and after a period, perhaps when you least expect it, you will suddenly find yourself in a lovely own on a hill.
I cannot terminate these hints upon the full use of one's time to the great end of living (as distinguished from vegetating) without referring to certain dangers which lie in wait for the sincere aspirant towards life. The first is the danger of becoming that most odious of persons – a prig. A prig is a pompous fool who has gone out for a ceremonial walk, and without knowing it has lost an important part of his attire, namely, his sense of humour. A prig is a tedious individual who, having made a discovery, is so impressed that he is capable of being gravely displeased because the entire world is not also impressed by it. Hence, when one sets forth on the enterprise of using all one's time, it is just as well to remember that it is one's own time, and not other people's time, with which one has to deal; that the earth rolled on pretty comfortably before one began to balance a budget of the hours.
Another danger is of being tied to a programme like a slave to a chariot. I know men whose lives are a burden to themselves and to their relatives and friends simply because they have failed to appreciate the obvious fact that while a programme must be respected it must not be worshiped as fetish. "Oh no," I have heard a martyred wife exclaim, "Arthur always takes a dog out for exercise at eight o'clock and he always begins to read at a quarter to nine. So it's quite out of the question that we should…" etc., etc. And the note of absolute finality in that plaintive voice reveals the unsuspected tragedy of a career. On the other hand, a programme is a programme. And unless it is treated with deference it ceases to be anything but a poor joke.
There is still another danger of developing a policy of rush, of being gradually more obsessed by what one has to do next. The only cure is to reconstitute one's programme, and to attempt less. But an excellent palliative is to pass with exaggerated deliberation from one portion of the programme to another; in other words, to waste five minutes with the consciousness of wasting them.
The last, and the chief danger is one to which I have already referred – the risk of failure at the start. This may easily kill outright the newborn impulse towards a complete vitality, and therefore every precaution should be observed to avoid it. The impulse must not be overtaxed. Let the pace of the first lap be even absurdly slow, but let it be as regular as possible. And, having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labour is immense.
Finally, in choosing the first occupations of those evening hours, be guided by nothing whatever but your taste and natural inclination. It is a fine thing to be a walking encyclopaedia of philosophy, but if you happen to have no liking for philosophy, and to have a liking for the natural history of street-cries, much better leave philosophy alone, and take to street-cries.

A head cold now inspires us to check how much longer we have to live. This is the new normal, writes Suresh Menon. Weird, but natural.
I haven't googled to confirm this — but I suspect that the second-most googled subject in the world is the medical problem (the first, of course, is our respective names). The internet is full of medical advice, which is why doctors tell us to stop reading up on our symptoms.
There's an old story about a doctor's assistant coming into his waiting room and announcing to the patients, 'Please do not discuss your symptoms with one another. It is confusing the doctor.' The internet is today's waiting room, waiting to confuse both doctor and patients.
'According to the internet…' is probably the worst thing you can tell a doctor. It's a conversation killer. It means you have tried Dr Google's advice and have come to the human doctor only because it hasn't worked for you. Self-diagnosis is the bane of the trained physician who spent years studying medicine, making sacrifices, giving up on luxuries and treating rich and poor without discriminating. And now he has to undo the effects of internet advice before focusing on his own methods.
Many of us may not annoy the doctor, but who among us has not checked anyway? I know the moment I have a headache I rush to check if it could be a developing tumour.
A stomach ache has greater possibilities for the imagination — both ours and the internet's. We know the names of rare diseases, rare doctors, rare treatments — enough to make us stress out. A head cold inspires us to check how much longer we have to live. This is natural. Weird, but natural.
According to the UK's Daily Mail newspaper, the most googled symptom in the US is 'stress', followed in no particular order by fever, poop colour, stomach ache and morning sickness. Stressed, said the philosopher, is merely 'desserts spelt backwards.' Such profundity merely adds to the stress (which, as anyone knows, is merely 'sserts' spelt backwards).
The significant difference between the internet and the family doctor is this: Dr Google never tells you, 'Take a couple of aspirins and call me in the morning.' On the other hand, no doctor to whom you are describing your symptoms suddenly gets distracted and tells you about the London fire of 1666 or how the tsetse fly got its name. Google does that. Often the thirst for knowledge (and tidbits of useless information) drives out the need for getting a headache attended to.
For many years, doctors had computers. Now computers have doctors — and we are paying the price for it.

Cadogan Founder Mr. Mayou Discusses Dangers of Cosmetic Surgery Abroad
Following the recent news about Joy Williams, 24, who tragically died after buttock implant surgery in Thailand, the dangers of cosmetic surgery abroad have once again been highlighted in the press. Mr. Bryan Mayou was asked to give comment in various newspapers including the Daily Mail and the Telegraph, and was even interviewed live at the clinic on BBC News and Channel 5!
Mr. Mayou firmly states that going abroad for surgery is "a false economy and so dangerous. What if it goes wrong and your parents need to fly out there? What if there are complications when you get home? What are you going to do– get on a plane and fly back?"
He adds "When you go abroad, you're throwing expertise out of the window, I wouldn't have a clue how to differentiate between one doctor and another online. Then you're expected to pay upfront. You've committed to surgery before even seeing the inside of the clinic."
At Cadogan Clinic we have some of the best surgeons in UK and are committed to the well-being and after-care of our patients.

Tips for finding a car that is just right for you…….
Your aspirations around the car of your dreams determine if it is the right one for you. Some people might look at the practical aspects of using a car while some others would put more value on the emotions that surround it. The first group of people is interested more about the functionalities and usability of the vehicle while the other group wants to make a statement with the vehicle that becomes their prized possession. Therefore, ascertain your needs first to decide which car would be right for you as it provides the right perspective for judging the vehicle. Do you need the vehicle for commuting or would you like to use it as a showpiece?
How do you want to use the vehicle points to the kind of vehicle that would suit you? On what kinds of roads, you would drive, the number of passengers to carry, what is the average driving distance daily, are you sensitive to fuel economy and what are the minimum features that the car should have are some considerations that you have to finalize before buying. In addition, what kinds of safety features you are expecting, your garage or parking space and the size of the vehicle are some other considerations that point to what kind of car would be able to meet your needs.
Except for some buyers who pay cash, most people would take the financing route when buying cars. The thumb rule for allocating money for buying a car is to keep aside 15% of your take-home pay that you can use for monthly payments of the car loan. The rule is the same whether you buy a new or used car. In case of leasing, the experts at Dave Smith Seattle, a reputed car dealer, advice customers to set aside 10% of take-home pay for the purpose of the budget. Remember to add another 7% to the cost towards insurance and monthly fuel expenses. Once you know where you belong, it becomes easier to choose models and makes that fit into the budget.
Whether want to own a car or just use it without any concern for giving it up later helps to decide whether you should buy a car or lease it. If you are attracted to lower monthly payments with no down payment and do not want to own the car, leasing is a good option for you. On the contrary, to own a car, you have to buy it.
Some cars might be quite affordable and attractive for buying, but the cost of maintaining the car could be quite high that increases the overall cost of ownership. The insurance might be high for some car models in the same price range, and even some models might have a higher rate of depreciation with the car losing its value very fast.
Estimating the long-term cost of ownership is an exercise that you have to complete carefully before deciding which model and make to buy.

I believe ambition drives the world and what keeps it going is the hope to see it realized. There is no end to it. You achieve one goal and you aspire for the next. After all, you have to live and that is what is called living.
However, many a time, a lot of people spend tremendous amounts of time and energy on dreaming and preparing to start, waiting for the opportune time.
What they do not understand is that time is always NOW!
You can dream all you want, prepare all you want and keep waiting forever for the opportune time; time will pass, but nothing gets realized until started. What better time to get started on your ambition than now.
Hope is the elixir that keeps you going. However, there is no going anywhere if you keep planning, dreaming and preparing.
Take a stand and get started. Half the battle is won right there! You are moving on the path of achievement. You will face trials and tribulations, you will fall to rise again, and perhaps fall again to rise once more. Your will shall be tested, your patience, self respect and talents will be bruised and battered, however, you will still be inching closer toward the realization of your goals. Never give up no matter how bad the situation seems. You are one of the lucky few that actually started down the path of working for your goals; being resilient and holding steady will eventually see you realize them.
That is success. Not the realization of your dreams, goals and ambitions, those are the fruits of your getting started and holding steady. But the actual journey of making it there is what defines your success.
To achieve your dreams and realize your ambitions, start now for there is no better time than NOW!
