WHY are only the very few—women as well as men—successful in life? Just what is success? Here is the surprising answer to life's most difficult problem, proving that NO HUMAN NEED EVER BECOME A FAILURE! All who have succeeded have followed these seven laws! The only WAY to success is not a copyrighted formula being sold for a price. You can't buy it! The price is your own application to the seven existing laws.
DID IT EVER occur to you that there might be a reason why so many people make a failure of life? Not only men and career women, but wives and mothers to!
Are you one who is wrestling with the problem of "making ends meet"? Nearly all of us are. This problem need not mean failure—yet it often leads to it.
It is a fact—the vast majority do wind up failures. Yet none need fail!
Every two minutes someone in the United States attempts suicide. Each day nearly 70 persons succeed—but is that success? The World Health Organization estimates that some one thousand people commit suicide in the world—every day!
Suicides now outnumber murders. Now various organizations for the prevention of suicide are a reality! But the cause is individual failure!
Much of the world is in current "prosperity." Yet—in booming U.S.—more businesses failed in a very recent year than in any other in the last twenty-six. Across the world streaks the shocking trend of increasing failures. Scores of millions daily allow he creeping cancer of failure to chain them to a life of unhappy circumstances, from which only death promises release.
Why are only the very few really successful? Is it mere chance—is it just happen-so—can it be luck? Or are there definite reasons?
Why do all but the very few find themselves, by age 60 or 65, dependents? Why must there be old-age pensions, public welfare aid, charities to support the non-crippled, non-handicapped helpless? Why must children so often provide for aged parents—when it ought to be the other way around?
I asked the opinions of hundreds of businessmen. Most thought success resulted merely from superior ability, and failure from the lack of it. But this opinion consigned the majority to failure from birth without a chance. If a man lacked the ability, he was foredoomed to failure. There seemed nothing he could do about it. I was not satisfied with this ides—and later I proved it false.
The manager of the large J.L. Hudson department store in Detroit thought failure generally resulted from lack of adequate capital. A minority interviewed agreed with him. But this, also, made dollars, and not the man, responsible for success or failure.
Failures are not foredoomed. Success does not just happen! It is governed by seven definite laws. If you know them, and apply them, the happy result, in the end , is assured.
Every individual was put on this earth for a PURPOSE! Every person was put here to become a success. Every human ought to enjoy the sweet taste of success—to find peace and happiness—to live an interesting, secure, and abundant life! And in order that all might—if willing—reap such full and abundant rewards, the Creator set in motion actual, definite LAWS to produce that desired result.
The tragedy is that through the centuries and millenniums man has turned his back on those laws—those causes of the very success he craves! The world long ago ignored and forgot them. Today, most people do not know what they are. Most people have not followed a single one of the seven basic laws.
I ask in all candor—isn't that a shocking state of human affairs? It is, in fact, the colossal tragedy of all history!
One man had such a plan. It was a sort of pseudo "psychological" religion. He promised the plan would make its followers prosperous or rich—the easy way, of course. Its propagator advertised that it had made him rich. He boasted of his fine home, his great high-ceiling pipe-organ room. The inference was that it would make its purchasers equally prosperous—but he neglected to mention that it was the naïve dupes who bought his bogus plan who made him rich.
This man stumbled onto an advertising catch-phrase for a headline in magazine and newspaper advertisements, which multiplied responses. He used it for years. But ultimately it wore itself out. This charlatan's "success" was neither real nor lasting. He was, himself, a colossal failure.
You can't buy it with money. It comes to you free—without money, and without price. There is a price, of course—your own application of these definite laws. It is not guaranteed to be the easy way—but it is guaranteed to by the only way to real success!
I was struck with a number of things in this cinema-star's obituary. My mind, of course, was on this theme, since I was at the moment writing on it.
Clark Gable was heralded on page one of this newspaper as king of the films. He was described as "the romantic hero of 90 films." He was one of the first ten money-making stars in the years 1932-43, 1947-49, and 1955. That is 16 years. And the top film stars make fabulous incomes. "He was, " said the obituary, "one of the few screen idols to stay the course for so long." But does all that spell SUCCESS?
One of the "fascinating" things mentioned about his life was that he had been married five times! Would we consider at least three failures in marriage (one wife was killed in an air crash) SUCCESS? The obituary said he cultivated "the furrowed brow, the knowing frown, the half-closed eyes, those ears and the wise-guy leer." They were not natural. He deliberately cultivated them for the women. "Clark Gable," said the obituary, "had cultivated these for the girls for nearly the whole of his romantic reign." You might have called it his trademark. He would." "It's just a business to me, always has been," he explained. It was just his way of "earning a living."
In my lifetime I have had close and intimate contact almost constantly with recognized successful men. From age 18, in early life—within the United States. From middle-age—worldwide. I have read many books and articles written by such men, numerous biographies and autobiographies of the great and the near great—their experiences, their philosophies. I know how these leaders among men think, how they act, what principles and rules they follow.
Significantly, most of these man practiced the first SIX of the seven laws of success. That is tremendously important!
There was the president of a great motor car corporation at the time when I was the young assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in his city. He made money. He was recognized in the world as important. He rose to the top in his profession and industry. But in the flash depression of 1920 his corporation passed into receivers' hands, he lost his personal material gains—and he ended his life a suicide! ? Was he, after all, a success. He neglected not only the seventh, but also the sixth.
Some thirty-five years later I walked into his great bank and inquired of one of its many vice-presidents whether he knew where Mr. Reynolds had moved, and where he had died. I had heard that he had retired and moved to our headquarters city, Pasadena, and died there. This vice president had never heard of Arthur Reynolds. "Who was he? he asked.
He inquired around. No one he asked remembered Arthur Reynolds. Finally the public relations secretary sent to the bank's library, and presently a clerk brought a newspaper clipping. It was the sole record the bank seemed to possess of its former president, who, with his brother, was largely responsible for building up this bank to its great size and importance. The clipping was from a San Mateo, California, newspaper. It told of his death in that San Francisco suburb.
"You'll certainly want to keep this," I remarked. "It must be valuable to the bank."
"Oh, no," he replied. "If you knew him, take it along."
The other great banker was Mr. John McHugh. I first knew him as president of a bank on a Midwest city. Then I had an hour's interesting chat with him in the Willard Hotel in Washington during the American Bankers' Association national convention in 1920. He was then president of a well-known New York City bank. Later, consolidations of several New York banks elevated him two offices higher than the president of the then largest bank in the world. Yet some 36 years later when I inquired about him at this great bank, the answer was the same—"Who's he? Never heard of him!" His "success" did not live after him.
Yes, I have been privileged to know many of the great and the near great—especially in the American business world. I have known multimillionaire capitalist, chief executives of great corporations and banks, cabinet members in the national administration at Washington, authors, artists, lecturers, college and university heads.
One important man I know was Elbert Hubbard, philosopher, prolific writer, publisher, lecturer, known as "the Sage of East Aurora." "The Fra," as he sometimes styled himself, became quite famous. He wore semi-long hair under an extra-size hat, and a string bow tie. He was said to be worth a half million dollars at a time when that equaled three million or more on today's market.
He published two magazines, composed mostly of his own writings, The Philistine, and The Fra. He boasted the largest vocabulary of any man since Shakespeare. He published An American Bible, shocking many of the religious yet explaining that the word "bible" merely means "book," not necessarily implying sacred writings, unless the word "HOLY" is prefaced. His "bible" consisted of his selection of choice writings from American authors. He included Franklin, Emerson, Paine, Jefferson, Lincoln, and, of course, Hubbard! He allotted nearly half of the entire volume to Hubbard—and all other famous Americans combined shared the remainder.
He knew that "important" men craved flattery as an actor enjoys applause. A large share of his fortune was made by writing an almost endless series of booklets, captioned Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great and the Near-Great. These were printed, of course, in rare style in his own Roycroft Press. Dozens and scores of America's rich and famous men paid Hubbard premium prices to write them up in his inimitable literary style.
An interesting sidelight on Mr. Hubbard's concept of success came spontaneously from his lips one Sunday afternoon. He and I were chatting at his Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, New York.
"I asked a Unitarian minister," I said, "whether he had ever been able to discern just what your religious belief really is—if any."
"He said he wasn't quite sure, but he suspected that whatever your religion may be, it probably originated in your pocketbook and bank account." There was no denial.
"Ho, ho," laughed Elbert Hubbard, "well, I get away with it, don't I?"
But was Elbert Hubbard a real success, after all? By human standards, I suppose he was. He knew and applied the first six of the seven laws of success. He worked hard and industriously, and he reaped a bounteous harvest—of money, popularity, acclaim. He and his wife Alice Hubbard went down together into the depths of the Atlantic when a German submarine sank the Lusitania. This was one of the overt acts of the Kaiser's forces that plunged America into World War 1.
Hubbard knew material values. But his agnosticism closed the door—and threw away the key—that led to an understanding of spiritual values. He never quite understood the real PURPOSE of life itself. He wasn't sure whether there was a Creator. He was convinced that fundamentalist or traditional "Christianity" was an impractical superstition. He didn't know WHY humanity was placed on the earth—or whether it just happened! He didn't know man's real potential destiny. He didn't know the seventh law of success. And, not knowing or following that seventh rule, he drove himself, by the diligent practice of the six, in the wrong direction — diametrically away from true success!
Their goal in life—their definition of success—was material acquisition, recognition of status by society, and the passing enjoyment of the five senses.
Some "successful" men of the world maneuver to get their pictures on page one of metropolitan newspapers, or on the front covers of national magazines. This inflates and briefly titillates ego, but it never satisfies for long. There's nothing the public forgets so quickly as yesterday's news!
Such men seek the flattery of others, and engage in back-slapping to invite it. But, like an actor's applause (the word always makes me think of "applesauce") it doesn't last and leaves them flat, with a gnawing inner hunger for something that will satisfy! So they become restless, discontented.
Isn't it about time we learn the true definition of SUCCESS?
Continuing to describe his experiment, this man wrote: "I searched with my mind how to cheer my body with wine—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good."
This ancient king was young enough to try to really enjoy life. He could afford it, too. He was one of the wealthiest men who ever lived—with the resources of a nation at his command. If there was not enough money for a project he dreamed up, he simply raised the taxes.
So, he continued writing of his experiment in searching for happiness and success, "I went in for great works." Stupendous national works and projects. "I built mansions, planted vineyards, laid out gardens and parks for myself, in which I planted all manner of fruit trees, making pools to water the trees in my plantations. I bought slaves, both men and women, and had slaves born within my household. I had large herds and flocks, larger than any before me. I amassed silver and gold, right royal treasures; I procured singers, both men and women, and many a mistress, man's delight. Richer and richer I grew, more than any before me in my country . . . Nothing I coveted did I refuse myself: I denied my heart no enjoyment—for my heart did feel pleasure in all this—so much I did get from all my efforts.
"But, " he concluded, "when I turned to look at all I had achieved and at my efforts and trouble, then it was all vain and futile . . . all was VANITY, and a striving after wind. Nothing in this world is worthwhile.
"Utterly vain, utterly vain, everything is VANITY," wrote this king, after his life of experimenting. All it led to was striving—yes, always striving—and for what? "After WIND," he concluded. All that a lifetime of hard work, vigorous application, material accomplishment brought him, he concluded, amounted to no more that a HANDFUL OF WIND!
This man was called the wisest man who had ever lived. He was King Solomon of ancient Israel. But in all his costly experimenting he never found the true values—the meaning of true and lasting SUCCESS!
Simply because, with all his wisdom, this man sought pleasure—happiness—success—his own way, in materialism. In the beginning the Eternal Creator designated and set in motion living laws for the very purpose of producing happiness, abundant living, pure and continuous joy, in all humans who would follow them. These are the seven great laws of SUCCESS. King Solomon, like nearly all the world's "successful" men, applied diligently the first six—but without the seventh, he started out in the wrong direction. The more he strove, the farther he went—in the direction away from true and lasting success.
He knew this seventh law. But, "Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Eternal. . . he did not keep what the Eternal commanded. Therefore the Eternal said to Solomon, 'Since this has been your mind and you have not kept my covenant and my rules which I commanded, I will surely tear the kingdom from you' " (1 Kings 11:6-11).
Now let me tell you the experience of a modern king. He was a close personal friend of ex-King Saud of Arabia, to whom I have been personally presented. Wealth came suddenly to Sheik Ali of Qatar (pronounced ""gutter").
Qatar is a little Arabian country jutting into the Persian gulf. The big oil boom recently came to Sheik Ali's little kingdom. It paid the country of 35,000 population 50 million dollars a year, of which 121/2 million went personally to old Sheik Ali, age 69.
Now what would you do with it, if you suddenly came into 121/2 million dollars a year?
The answer, in all probability, is that you would not do what you now think you would! That much money, coming suddenly into one's hands, usually changes one's ideas completely. That's what it did to old Sheik Ali.
Immediately he began to build big gaudy pink, green, and gold palaces in the midst of malodorous mud hovels. They were air-conditioned, ultramodern, even equipped with push button window curtains! And now the newly wealthy sheik could avoid the 120-degree bake-oven summers of the desert.
Then Sheik Ali indulged in the $1,000,000 purchase of a magnificent mansion overlooking Beirut—and the beautiful Mediterranean. When King Saud paid him a royal visit, he presented the king with 16 automobiles. One was embellished with gold. Old Sheik Ali became so generous in his self-indulgences, that his debts, over and beyond his fabulous income, soon mounted to 14 million dollars!
The news stories filtered around the world of how the Sheik just simply could not make ends meet on a mere 121/2 dollars a year! About the 1st of November, 1960, he abdicated in favor of his son Ahmed, age 40. A new advisory council arranged to pay old Ali's debts, and give him a pension large enough only to provide for a mere handful of servants and a few wives.
Poor old Ali! He found it harder to make ends meet on 121/2 million annual dollars than he did in comparative poverty.
Certainly NOTHING in life is more important than to know: what is real success—and how to achieve it.
Not just any goal. Most of the "successful "men I have mentioned had goals. They drove themselves relentlessly to accomplishment. But making money, gaining STATUS in the eyes of people, enjoying the passing pleasures of the five senses, has literally strewn the pathway of history with fears, worries, heartaches, troubled consciences, sorrows, frustrations, empty lives and death.
Do you know that most people go through life without any GOAL at all? In fact, most people, as I've said before, do not know, and do not apply a SINGLE ONE of the seven laws of success!
If you have saved up money for a trip to Paris, or Rome, or London for your vacation or holiday, you spend a lot of time in excited anticipation PLANNING your trip—but you DO have a definite DESTINATION—and all plans are laid to take you to that particular destination—that GOAL. You know where you are planning to go. Otherwise, how would you ever expect to arrive there?
As I said once before, most people have no aim—they are merely the victims of CIRCUMSTANCE. They never planned, purposefully, to be in the fob or occupation in which they find themselves today. They do not live where they do by CHOICE that is, because they PLANNED it that way. They have merely been buffeted around by CIRCUMSTANCE! They have allowed themselves to drift. They have made no effort to master and control circumstances.
The first law of success, I repeat, is to fix the RIGHT goal. Not any goal. One could set a goal in which he had little or no interest, and drift into inaction. The right goal will arouse ambition. Ambition is more than mere desire. It is desire plus incentive—determination—will to achieve the desire. The right goal will be so intensely desired it will excite vigorous and determined effort. It will fire one with incentive.
There should be an overpowering PURPOSE to life. Few have ever known such purpose. Down through centuries and millenniums thinkers and philosophers have pondered, and sought in vain to learn whether life has a real purpose. Socrates, Plato, Augustine among others speculated and reasoned, yet the true meaning of life eluded them. This deepest and most important question in life remained to them a mystery—an unsolvable enigma!
IF one could discover such an overall PURPOSE—a definite purpose for which humans were put on earth—IF one could discover a human potential greater than mere temporary existence, one would think that PURPOSE would be the goal that should excite dynamic ambition!
But—alas! Who has ever discovered such an objective as life's aim?
One thing we need to know about life—and many do not—is that humans do not come equipped with instinct.
The new born calf does not have to be taught how to walk. It starts immediately to get up on its somewhat infirm and uncertain legs. It may fall down on the first or second attempt, but in a matter of a few moments it stands, even if a little unsteady at first. It does not require a year or two—not even an hour or two—the little calf starts walking in a few minutes! It does not need to reason out any goals. It requires no textbooks, nor teaching. It instinctively knows its goal—dinner! And it knows, also instinctively, the way. On its own four legs it proceeds immediately to the first meal!
I have repeated so many times: birds build nests—by instinct. No one teaches them how. Five generations of weaver birds, isolated from nests or nest-building materials, never saw a nest. When nest-building materials were made accessible, the sixth generation, without any instruction, proceeded to build nests! They were not crows' nests or eagles' nests. They were the same kind of nests weaver birds have built since creation. They had no minds to think out, imagine, design, and construct a different kind of nest.
We don't come to these basic accomplishments instinctively and immediately like the dumb animals. It may take a little more time. It may come a little harder. But we can go on to learn reading, writing, and "rithmetic"!
But we have to LEARN—to STUDY—to be EDUCATED—to be PREPARED for what we propose to do.
One if the first things we need to learn is –that we need to learn!
Once you have learned enough to CHOOSE A GOAL, the second step toward successfully accomplishing that goal is to LEARN THE WAY—to acquire the additional education, training, experience, to give you the know-how to achieve your goal.
Yet these "successful" people were not really successful. They not only chose an overall goal that led them in the way of false values, they also failed to equip themselves with the RIGHT education to make possible that REAL LASTING success—fulfilling the PURPOSE of life.
These successful people were not lastingly successful. Their education failed to teach them the TRUE VALUES. They chose goals that led them in the way of false values that didn't last.
The basic and most essential knowledge—the true values, the meaning and purpose of life, the WAY to peace, to happiness and abundant well-being—these basics are never taught. Because I was given to see this decadence in modern education—to recognize this tragic knowledge gap—I was led to found a college that fills this need.
Right education must teach that all things are a matter of cause and effect—that for every result, whether good or evil, there is a cause. True education will teach the CAUSE of this world's evils—of personal or collective troubles—so that they may be avoided. Also it much instruct in the CAUSE of this world's evils—of personal or collective troubles—so that they may be avoided. Also it must instruct in the CAUSE of the GOOD results, that we may know how to win them instead of the troubles. Right education must not stop at teaching TO LIVE! It must know, and teach, the PURPOSE of human life, and how to fulfill it.
It's another significant tragedy of our time!
He lives by the breath of air—which is the breath of LIFE itself. If the bellows we call lungs do not keep inhaling and exhaling the oxygen-containing air, man won't live to achieve any goal. You are only one heartbeat away from death! As the lungs pump air in and out, so the heart pumps blood through and intricate system of veins and arteries. These must be supported by food and water.
My youngest brother may not like to read this in print, but I remember when he was about nine months old, and had managed to creep into the basement coal bin. We found him trying to eat little chunks of coal—his mouth and face well blackened!
You may laugh at babies trying to eat silver cups and chunks of coal. Or at people who dip small mice into a sauce, and, holding them by their tails, drop them as a delicious delicacy into their mouths.
You think adults have actually LEARNED any better than nine-month-olds babies? Go to your fancy grocer's and you'll find on his shelves canned eel and canned rattlesnake.
WHY? As I said, humans know nothing at birth! We have to learn! But most of us do not know that! And, again, what we don't know, we don't know that we don't know! And somehow, ever since babyhood, most humans seem to have grown up putting everything into the mouth. Most have grown up eating just whatever seemed to taste good—and whatever they saw others eating. There has been little education or even study about WHAT we ought—or ought NOT—to eat.
Most degenerative diseases are modern diseases—penalties for eating foods that have been demineralized in food factories—usually an excess of starch, sugar (the carbohydrates) and fats. Others are caused by a type of malnutrition—lack of needed minerals and vitamins in foods. Then people try to put the "vitamins" back into their systems by buying pills at the drugstore!
A famous director of a "Physical Fitness" program, lecturing at Ambassador College, reminded us that the medical profession has made great strides toward eliminating communicable diseases, yet is having little success coping with the increase of the non-communicable diseases,--such as cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, kidney diseases. These latter are affected by faulty diet.
Of course there are other laws of health—sufficient sleep, exercise, plenty of fresh air, cleanliness and proper elimination, right thinking, clean living.
Right now "jogging" has become the physical fitness fad. Even men in their late forties read a book by a self-professing "expert," and suddenly are straining their hearts running two miles every day. "More and more exercise!" cry the faddists.
Why do humans tend to go to extremes? Exercise is good—it profits a little—but like most things, it can be carried past the law of diminishing returns. You can get an overdose that can cause harm. We are prone to forget the admonition of TEMPERANCE in all things.
What is the value of this excessive exertion in running two miles a day? It induces blood circulation. It gets circulation even to the extremities. And that is good. Stimulating blood circulation is good. Stimulating blood circulation is important. But we can also DESTROY HEALTH by going to unwise extremes. There is as much danger in overdoing exercise as in neglecting it.
Circulation can be induced without over-exertion or danger. I have never forgotten a lecture I heard as a young man in the days of the Chautauqua. The lecturer had been physical trainer to President Howard Taft. Immediately following the close of the Taft administration, this physical trainer managed to secure a list of all—or nearly all—of the centenarians in the United States. He personally visited every one. He asked to what they attributed their long life. One never used tobacco, and gave that as the reason. But another used tobacco all his life and still lived past a hundred years. One "tee-totaled"—but another drank beer and brandy all his life. And so it went. When he had interviewed them all, he analyzed his notes and was surprised to learn that ONLY ONE THING was common to them all. Yet not one gave it credit for his long life. Every one had taken a vigorous daily rub-down. Some with a bath towel, following a daily bath. Some with a brush But in one way or another, each had stimulated blood circulation even to the extremities of toes and fingers by daily rubbing or massaging.
Many ask how I (now in my nineties) keep up the energy, vigor and drive. I'm sure there is more than one reason—but I do not "jog" or go in for fads. I WALK—the best exercise for one of my age. But ever since I heard that lecture, perhaps 60 or more years ago, I have taken a daily RUB-DOWN. Method? A generous-size bath towel, following a daily shower. I try to get enough sleep. I watch elimination (very important). I try to be careful about my diet. And I have a tremendous INCENTIVE—a driving PURPOSE in life, because I have learned what is life's PURPOSE. That spurs to action! I have a mission to accomplish that is more important than my life. There's not much time left—and it MUST and WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED! Besides all this I draw on a greater and higher Power. I think that gives the answer.
The average person has never stopped to realize that it is not natural to be sick. Sickness and disease come only from violation of nature's laws of body and mine—the physical LAWS of health. Most people have not learned that there are any such laws! They suppose that occasional illness or disease is natural in the course of life. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Sickness should not be taken for granted. Some authorities go so far as to say that we do not catch a cold—we eat our colds and fevers! They explain that a cold or fever is merely the unnatural and rapid elimination of toxins and poisons stored up in the glands, resulting from improper diet.
As an example, the President of the United States always has a White House physician who is constantly watchful over the President's physical condition. A President is virtually required to get in certain exercise. President Eisenhower played golf frequently. President Kennedy took a daily swim. President Taft had a physical trainer who watched the overweight President daily.
One factor I think has worked universally in favor of such men. Mental attitude does have considerable influence on physical condition. Most "successful" men—as the world evaluates success—do think constructively, positively, in a mental attitude of confidence. They do not allow themselves to think negatively or assume an attitude of fear, worry, or discouragement. They do not allow themselves to get into uncontrolled moods of griping, complaining. They enforce on themselves emotional balance. And, mindful of the responsibilities on their shoulders, they probably put more restraint on dissipation than most people.
He may feel drowsy, and hate to awaken and get up[ in the morning. But he refuses to give in to this impulse.
I remember the struggles I once had with this situation. It was during one of my "Idea-Man" tours as a magazine editorial representative at age 22. I was having quite a struggle with drowsiness. Yet I acquired the habit of sleepily answering the morning telephone call and promptly going back to bed and to sleep. Then I bought a "Baby Ben" alarm clock, which I carried with me. But I found myself arising to turn it off, then plunging back into bed. I was too drowsy to realize what I was doing. I was not sufficiently awake to employ willpower and force myself to stay up, get under the shower and become fully awake and alert. It had become habit.
I had to break the habit. I had to put a prod on myself. I needed an alarm clock that couldn't be turned off until I was sufficiently awake to get going for the day.
"Yes, Sir!" he answered, eyes sparkling in anticipation.
After ascertaining that he would be still on duty at 6:30 next morning, I said, "If you will pound on that door in the morning at 6:30, until I let you in, and then stay in this room and prevent me from getting back into bed until I am dressed, then you may have that half-dollar."
I found those bell-boys would, for a half-dollar tip, even wrestle or fight with me to prevent my crawling back into bed. Thus I put a prod on myself that broke the morning snooze habit and got me up and going!
Often workmen never rise above whatever job they may have because they have no drive. They slow down, work slowly, poke around, sit down and rest as much as they can. In other words, they must have a boss over them to drive them, or they would probably starve. They would never become successful farmers—for a farmer, to succeed, must get up early and work late, and drive himself. That is one reason so many must work for others. They cannot rely on themselves—they must be driven by one of more energy and purpose.
Without energy, drive ,constant propulsion, a person need never expect to become truly successful.
One might suppose that if he had a goal—and with it the ambition to achieve his purpose—if he then became trained, educated, and experienced in pursuing it, kept in good health, and constantly drove himself relentlessly toward his objective, that he would be bound to accomplish it.
Life constantly encounters hazards, obstacles, unexpected problems or setbacks. You may be proceeding along right on schedule, when BANG!—out of nowhere comes an unexpected complication. Some sudden circumstance arises which seems to stop you completely, or at least set you back.
The old Slow Train Through Arkansas (I read the book years ago) encountered a cow lying across the tracks ahead. The train could not proceed toward its destination until that obstacle was removed.
I learned a lesson in determination and resourcefulness on my first visit to Niagara Falls. It was on December 25th, probably 1913, with a silver thaw. I strolled out on Goat Island, which divides the river just above the falls. At one point there was a huge rock. It appeared as an impassible barrier to that rapid-flowing river, racing to its destination, down over the falls, into the rapids below and on to Lake Ontario.
I watched, intrigued. Did the rushing waters stop, quit, give up? Not on your life! I was thrilled as I watched the water swirl around the huge boulder—splash on over it, even find a hole through it, dashing, crashing, roaring on toward its goal!
The IBM people used to put out a famous card found in many offices, which says "THINK!"—and sometimes they deliberately spell it "THIMK?"
When sudden emergencies arise, then of all times you need a clear mind, calm nerves, rapid thinking, sound reasoning! You need RESOURCEFULNESS! You need a cool head, to quickly get all the facts and make a wise decision.
And now one would most certainly think that these five laws should be all that is required to guarantee ultimate success. And yet nine out of every ten who have all these five still fail—without the important sixth law.
Among the case histories recounted in the beginning pages was that of the president of a major automobile manufacturing corporation. He had utilized the first five of these laws—that is, except he had the usual goal that leads in the wrong direction. Yet in the flash depression of 1920, when he lost his personal fortune, he committed suicide.
This man had reached the point where he was, to all appearances, through! During life he had resourcefully solved emergencies and problems that arose. But now, suddenly, it seemed that everything had been swept from under his feet. Everything he had worked for. Everything he had accumulated. Everything he had set his heart on! There was NOTHING left! He was washed up—finished! So it seemed to him. I never knew his private life.
Yes, nine in ten, at least once or twice in a lifetime, come to the place where they appear to be totally defeated! All is lost!--`apparently, that is. They give up and quit, when just a little more faith and perseverance—just a little more STICK-TO IT-IVENESS would have turned apparent certain failure into glorious success.
Law number six, then, is PERSEVERANCE—stick-to-it-iveness!
I had been making an income, still in my twenties, equivalent to an executive's salary in today's dollar value. But some 90 percent of it came from five or six big Midwestern corporations. Most of these great corporations "went under"—that is, they went into "receivers'" hands.
Even the first two years of the operation of Ambassador College stared constant defeat in the face. Nearly everybody thought we were through—we had failed! WHY, they wondered, didn't I realize it and QUIT? In those days I had to listen to associates around me talking constantly about "when this college folds up."
But it didn't fold up! By the year 1949 we got over our first financial hump. Later, the second. Today, I think we may be justified in saying that the college is, indeed, a glorious SUCCESS! And our other operations today are worldwide on a major scale.
Still their lives were empty—they were never satisfied—they were discontented, they never found lasting, permanent, enduring happiness—they did not take their acquisitions with them when they died, and their fame died with them!
What they lacked—what ALL lack who fail of REAL success, application of Success Law number 7—the most important law of all! That is the ingredient that would have changed everything?
When serious illness strikes, people call the doctor. It is automatic for most to rely on human professional knowledge and skill—on material drugs, medicines and knives. But finally, when the attending physician—perhaps with specialists called in collaboration—gravely shakes his head and says there is no more that medical science can do—it is now in the hands of a higher Power—then, at last people cry out desperately to the Creator God!
Is it possible that the living GOD might be a factor in determining the success or failure of one's life? Few have thought so.
People will ignore all their lives any idea of divine guidance and help—yet if one should find himself on a foodless and waterless raft after a shipwreck in mid-ocean, it is remarkable how quickly he would begin to believe there really is a living God! In last-resort desperation most people will cry out to Him whom they have ignored, disobeyed, and set at naught all their lives.
Wouldn't it seem axiomatic that, if there is a compassionate beneficent Creator standing ready and willing to give us emergency help as a last resort, it would have been more sensible to have sought His guidance and help all along? Yet some have acquired wealth, lived luxuriously, and then, suddenly losing all, turned finally to God in their economic distress. Others have committed suicide. Few, it seems, will ever rely on their Maker and life-Sustainer until they feel helpless and in desperate need. Even then the motive too often is selfish.
Yet, if we are to enjoy the good things of life—freedom from fears and worries, peace of mind, security, protection, happiness, abundant well-being—the very SOURCE of their supply is the Great God! Since all comes from Him anyway, why not tap the SOURCE from the very beginning?
Look again at the very first Law, as it has been listed here. It is not merely choosing a goal—any goal. It is setting as one's life-aim the right goal.
The main goals of those supposed to be successful in the world usually are two: Vanity—desire for status; and money with the material things it will buy. But happiness is not material, and money is not its source. Vanity, as Solomon observed is like a striving after wind!
These men I have mentioned made money. Their bank accounts may have been full, but their lives were empty. When they acquired money, it never satisfied, and always they wanted more. These monetary victories, these material acquisitions, gave, of course, a thrill of satisfaction—but it never lasted!
This life-long struggle—this constant striving "after wind"—striving after false values—left in its wake a trail of fears and worries, apprehensions, disappointments, heartaches, troubled consciences, discontent, empty lives, frustrations—and finally, DEATH!
Oh yes, of course there were pleasures, moments of excitement, periods of enjoyment. There were occasional thrills, temporary sensations of delight. But always they were followed by periods of depression. Always a gnawing inner soul-hunger returned. This in turn drove them to seek satisfaction in the thousand-and-one events in the world's whirl of material pleasures and pastimes. Yet these never filled the void. They never satisfied the real inner hunger.
These people probably didn't realize it, but the hunger was spiritual. And spiritual hunger is never satisfied by material food!
It seems almost no one, today, realizes HOW—and WHY—we were made. WHAT we humans are, and WHY we are. Why should we live in ignorance of these basics of knowledge?
1. While man was made a material being, of the dust of the ground, sustained by eating material food and drinking material water, he was made also to need spiritual food, and to drink of the "living water" of God's Spirit. Without these spiritual needs man cannot be truly and continually happy. Nothing else really satisfies.
2. The Eternal Creator, who made us in His own likeness, is creator of ALL that is. Everything man needs to make life continuously and abundantly satisfying, must come from Him. He is the SOURCE OF SUPPLY. He is the GIVER of everything good. WHY must men ignore the true SOURCE, and try to obtain where there is nothing to be obtained? If I wish to draw clear, sparkling drinking water from a well, I will go to a well filled with such water, not to one that is empty. God says of our people: "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the FOUNTAIN of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water" (Jeremiah 2:13).
The right goal sets the direction of your life's journey. Success is the destination of that journey. Success is where you finally arrive—and true Success includes a happy and enjoyable journey along the way.
Of course men cut off from God have no knowledge of that Purpose. For that knowledge is not material, but spiritual knowledge. And spiritual things cannot be seen—nor heard, felt, smelled or tasted. Spiritual knowledge can be transmitted only by revelation. And this world has rejected revelation. Men cut off from their Creator of necessity are spiritually blind and ignorant, groping in the dark. So they fail to seize the proper tools, ingredients and facilities.
But the Maker has sent an instruction book along with the human mechanism He made. It contains all the real answers. It reveals life's real PURPOSE—the potential destiny of man! That instruction book, as Bruce Barton aptly said, is the "book nobody knows." Almost no one knows that 95% of the contents of that Book is virtually ignored by the professing Christian clergy. Most scientists and educators today suppose, erroneously and in ignorance of the facts, that the Bible is merely the book of an ancient race of Jewish people, striving to devise a concept of a god—in by gone days of ignorance and superstition. They don't examine the Book, as they examine other data, to see what it says. They ignore it as something beneath their pride of intellect to consider.
The religious Bible-believing fundamentalists generally quote and use not more than some 5% of the Scriptures. Approximately one-third of the entire contents of the Bible is devoted to ADVANCE NEWS REPORTS, called, in religious terminology, prophecy. FEW pay any attention to this third of the writings—and most seem devoid of understanding.
What almost ON ONE realizes is that the ignored 95% of that great volume is the INSTRUCTION BOOK which the Maker sent along with His product—just as any manufacturer of a material commodity does. Yet some scholars today have been surprised and shocked to learn that this ignored, maligned, misrepresented Book contains THE ANSWERS to life itself—reveals the PURPOSE of life—the LAWS that govern it—the ANSWER to what IS Success, and how to achieve it!
It has been like discovering a gold mine of knowledge they did not know existed. They have found that it MAKES SENSE—that, indeed, IT IS THE VERY FOUNDATION of KNOWLEDGE in just about all areas—that it provides the only right approach to the acquisition of further discoverable knowledge.
Those who have worked, striven, fought their way to any other goal have been wasting their lives—living for naught! They have, in true fact, been going nowhere! And how many, since humans were first put here on earth, have really known that PURPOSE—that one right goal of life? Very few, indeed!
The time when we need divine guidance, enlightenment, and help, is at the very BEGINNING—at the time when a young man or woman chooses that RIGHT GOAL. Without divine guidance the wrong goal is always set.
Life has a PURPOSE. God has set in actual, inexorable motion definite LAWS to PRODUCE for man every happiness, security, and GOOD thing he desires—THE WAY OF LIFE that will fulfill God's PURPOSE for our being!
LOOK! THINK! An automobile was designed and built by its human makers to transport passengers, and do it more speedily and in more comfort than the old horse and buggy. Would it not be ridiculous if the automobile had a mind and free volition of action, and it would say: "That's silly! I don't think I was made to transport people. I think I was made for some other purpose. I refuse to transport people. I want to be an instrument for viewing the stars in the heavens."
Apparently it is only stupid, foolish man—with POTENTIAL mind power and CAPACITY for intelligence beyond any creature God has created—who says "WHY have you made me thus?"
Suffice it to say—and I shall leave it to another booklet to explain—man was put here for the PURPOSE of being conformed to, and finally stamped with the exact perfect CHARACTER of Jesus Christ! Write for the free booklet Why Were You Born?
The Bible pictures God as the Master Potter—us as the clay. Indeed we are, literally clay images of God—composed of the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). As we now bear only the physical image of the "earthy," we shall when changed, bear the spiritual image of the heavenly—of GOD (1 Corinthians 15:47-49). So we are clay images with human minds that are free moral agents. They may submit, or they may rebel. They have power of will, and of decision.
Understand this! You are a free moral agent. God will never "cram" His religion down your throat." He will never force you to decide His way or go His way. He not only allows you to choose the wrong way—He compels you to make your own decision. Otherwise His PURPOSE would be thwarted!
The living God has set two ways before us. One, His Way, the cause of all the good things you want here and now, plus eternal life in REAL SUCCESS continuously forever. The other the way of self-centeredness, vanity, greed, envy—the way mankind has gone, in rebellion against God and His Law—the way that causes all unhappiness, suffering, evils, and ends in death. And God compels you to choose! Yet He commands you to choose the Way that leads to REAL SUCCESS (see Deuteronomy 30:19).
You must make the decision. You must set this right GOAL. You must set your will. You must expend your full effort. You must WORK AT overcoming, growing and developing spiritually, and sticking with it. Yet GOD supplies the all-important ingredient—His power, His love, His faith—His guidance—HIS LIFE!
First, it will completely alter your overall major GOAL as I have just explained. Of course, you will have other minor goals—such as the profession or occupation to provide material needs, and HELP achieve the major goal. And these minor goals always must be compatible with and contributing to the major goal.
Your main goal, now, will be spiritual and not material. It will follow the WAY OF LIFE of the Ten Commandments. You will actually LIVE BY every Word of GOD—that is, the Bible!
Your EDUCATION and entire preparation will be DIFFERENT. You will seek to learn the TRUE VALUES of life—yes, of this life as well as the hereafter! This means your number one textbook will be the BIBLE. It will reveal to you the MIND OF CHRIST. This will provide your mental APPROACH in all education and practice.
Take the FOURTH LAW. If you are motivated by GOD'S WORD, you'll have DRIVE. God commands that you do what you do with your might! Apply yourself! Whatever is worth doing is worth doing the very best you can! Nine Biblical passages command that you apply your self with DILIGENCE! Ten other places in the Bible command us to BE DILIGENT. And 36 Scriptures command, or show the example of acting diligently! Many of these instruct us diligently to seek God's guidance and help, several diligently to keep His commandments.
How about the businessman? "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before [obscure] men" (Proverbs 22:29).
Now, Law Number FIVE. No matter how intelligent, alert, or resourceful you may be, YOU NEED GOD'S WISDOM and HELP in solving the constant problems and meeting the recurring obstacles that beset life's path. Whether it is in business, a profession, private life or what. The man who has CONTACT WITH GOD, who can take these matters—these emergencies—these problems—in the quietness of his private prayer room to the Throne of Grace and seek God's counsel and advice IS GOING TO HAVE DIVINE GUIDANCE! That is, of course, provided he is submissive, obedient, diligent, faithful. WISDOM comes from GOD.
May I give you a personal example? God has blessed His Work, and caused it to grow into a tremendous worldwide activity, with offices around the world. God has set me in the position of human director and leader over this expanding enterprise, employing hundreds of people. We encounter problems of all kinds, constantly. I have problems to solve, obstacles to hurdle, policies to set, decisions to make which affect many lives—frequently involve many thousands of dollars, even millions. It is a weighty responsibility.
Always—and I can remember it from at least age 5—I have desired to have UNDERSTANDING. But more than fifty years ago, I discovered that I sadly lacked, yet sorely needed WISDOM. Having dedicated my life to live, literally, according to every word of God's Instruction Book—the Bible—I obeyed this command of God: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God. . . and it shall be given" (James 1:5). He has given me wisdom. Of course He has allowed me to make mistakes—but never a major mistake that could threaten His great Work.
Wisdom must be applied to every specific circumstance individually. I learned many years ago the need of getting all of the facts bearing on a case before making a decision. But it requires more. God's Word says that in multitude of counselors there is safety. In any important decision I call in the most competent possible counselors, specialists in the field involved.
You simply cannot know, if you have never had this divine help, how very, very much it means! We have been saved hundreds, of times from costly blunders. We are saved from worries and the "headaches" most businessmen have to suffer over such problems. We can proceed in CONFIDENCE—that assurance that is FAITH! What a blessing! What a comfort, and a joy!
People trying to live without the living CHRIST in their lives are missing the most practical and valuable asset they could have. In the language of our day, "IT PAYS OFF!" Of course, we have to expend our own effort. We have to really THINK. We use all our own effort. We have to really THINK. We use all our own resources and natural resourcefulness. But we have that added SECURITY of divine GUIDANCE. Often God simply works out CIRCUMSTANCES. He literally gives us "the breaks"! IT PAYS!
Finally, now, look at Success Law Number SIX. Perseverance—Stick-to-it-iveness—Enduring—Never quitting or giving up.
The Maker's Instruction Book seems full of this. Jesus' parable of the sower and the seed showed the four classes. All heard God's Message. All were given the opportunity. Three classes GAVE UP. One never really got started. Two started out with joy and a great flourish, but let former friends, the cares of this material life, pleasures, choke them off, and discourage them. The other class of quitters simply did not have the depth of strength of character within themselves to stay with anything. They were just naturally quitters. Even of those who went on, and endured, some were more diligent, more resourceful, better prepared, more careful of health, and consequently developed farther in accomplishment than others. Theirs will be the greater reward!
Jesus Christ said, plainly, "He that endureth unto the END, the same shall be SAVED" (Matthew 24:13).
Yes, these Seven Laws are the WAY, not only to business and economic SUCCESS—they are THE LAWS that lead to rich, rewarding, interest-filled, abundant living and, in the end, to ETERNAL LIFE AND GLORY in the Kingdom of God.
It teaches you to choose the RIGHT GOAL. It teaches you to STUDY, to show yourself approved to your Maker. It teaches you to acquire KNOWLEDGE, right and true education—preparation for success. It teaches you to watch your health. It teaches diligence—drive—dedication, persistent application. It teaches resourcefulness, and offers you divine help in applying it—and it teaches STAYING WITH IT TO THE END!
WHAT A HAPPY LIFE God haw made available! What blessedness,--what JOY! What SECURITY, this life of implicit living FAITH—reliance on the Creator—GOD!
I know! I've been enjoying this life for more than fifty years! It's a BUSY life—but it's interesting, thrilling, happy, abundantly REWARDING! And to constantly look forward to the OVERALL GOAL—an eternity in THE KINGDOM OF GOD!

Ludwig Bandl (* 1. November 1842 in Himberg; † 26. August 1892 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Geburtshelfer und Gynäkologe.

Leben
1867 promovierte er zum Doktor der Medizin an der Universität Wien, wo er bei Karl von Braun-Fernwald (1822–1891), Joseph Hyrtl (1810–1894) und Johann von Dumreicher (1815–1880) studierte. Im Jahr 1878 wurde er Leiter der Abteilung für Geburtshilfe an der allgemeinen Poliklinik in Wien, später wurde er zum außerordentlichen Professor für Geburtshilfe und Gynäkologie ernannt (1880). Sechs Jahre später erlangte Bandl eine ordentliche Professur in Prag, musste aber innerhalb weniger Wochen wegen einer Geisteskrankheit von dieser Position zurücktreten. Seine letzten Lebensjahre verbrachte er in einer Wiener Anstalt.

In Erinnerung geblieben ist Bandl durch die Beschreibung des Uteruskontraktionsrings, einer Einschnürung an der Verbindungsstelle von Corpus uteri und Isthmus uteri. Diese Struktur wird manchmal auch als "pathologischer Retraktionsring" oder als "Bandl'scher Kontraktionsring" bezeichnet.

Triptych of the Temptation of St Anthony
Bosch often represented saints in landscapes charged with evil. Nowhere, however, were the vicissitudes of the spiritual life more vividly and circumstantially detailed than in the legend of St Anthony the Hermit, founder of Christian monasticism, which Bosch painted on an altarpiece now preserved in Lisbon.
Bosch was preoccupied with themes of torment and the sinfulness of man, which replaced earlier, more optimistic visions of Christ and the Virgin with feelings of anxiety, fear, and guilt. His sources for such unusual images were the dark corners of the medieval imagination, the gargoyles and monsters of cathedral decoration, and the marginal illustrations of books and popular prints.
The Lisbon triptych sums up the major themes we encounter in the art of Bosch. The spectacle of sin and folly and the shifting horrors of Hell are joined to the images of the suffering Christ and of the saint firm in his faith against the assaults of the World, the Flesh and the Devil. To an age which believed in the reality of Satan and Hell, and in the imminent appearance of Antichrist with the Last Judgment not far behind, the serene countenance of St Anthony looking at us from his haunted chapel must have offered reassurance and hope.

When it comes to investing in Pakistan, many people immediately think that would not be worth the risk. Many consider it a country where there is only terrorism, violence and poverty, but Pakistan has great rates of return for those who resolve to invest money in their territory.
The country is one of the markets that promise more concrete results in the Middle East region in coming years. Reasons for this abound, for example: Recently, in 2013, for the first time in Pakistan's history, a democratic government handed over power to another party elected in a natural and lawful manner. The absence of a military coup - common until then - raises the confidence of foreign investors and Pakistanis themselves, creating a very large circulation of money in the country and a great opportunity for real profits.
But even the "bad side" of Pakistan one can find good things. Think: Political stability is good for business, right? Instability can generate a prone business environment as well. It is in these moments of crises and difficulties that companies need to readapt and have the ideal chance for growth. When they show they can handle such change they become "seasoned" and there for more trusted with investment. Pakistan has consolidated a diversified economy in order to adapt to these moments of difficulty.
Legally the country is also a good place for investments. Very similar to US law, Pakistan has good legal initiatives to protect foreign investors. The two major legal instruments in this regard are the Foreign Private Investment Act, 1976 and the Protection of Economic Reforms Act, 1992. In addition, for those exploring the region as a whole, India and Pakistan have very simple border laws, rather similar to the legal system of the UK.
During 2004 and 2007 GDP growth remained in the 5-8% range, one of the highest growth rates in the world, above even the great development and industrialization of countries. Growth was spurred by gains in sectors such as services and aerospace, software, automobile, textile (responsible for the largest share of Pakistan's exports), shipbuilding, etc. and services.
Recently the country has achieved the largest foreign exchange reserves of dollars of its history. There were about 17 billion in the country, invested or not.
Even with a positive outlook ahead, some precautions need to be taken care of, such as inflation, which remains the main concern among the public. She jumped from 7.7% in 2007 to over 13% in 2010 driven by other factors. Another point that inspires care is the devaluation of the rupee Pakistan from 2007 result of the crisis that hit much of the world.
Other challenges include the strengthening of Pakistani rupee against the dollar and the improvement in indices such as education, electricity production, and reducing dependence on foreign revenue entering the country.

Rudd Offers Condolences On Death Of Australian Soldier
Kevin Rudd has offered his condolences following the death of an Australian soldier in Afghanistan.
Listen to Rudd (5m)
Transcript of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's press conference.
PRIME MINISTER: I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of an Australian soldier in Afghanistan. This brave soldier, wearing the uniform of Australia died the field of duty wearing his nation's uniform and wearing it with pride.
On behalf of the Government, I extend my condolences to his family and to his friends and to his loved ones. Our prayers and those of the entire nation are with his family and his friends and his loved ones on this most tragic of days.
In accordance with the wishes of the family, the soldier's name will not be released at this stage.
This soldier was killed when Taliban insurgents engaged an Afghan forward operating base. And Australians were present and they came under rocket attack. Sadly, as a result of this incident today, eight brave Australian soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan, fighting Taliban insurgents.
Our troops in Afghanistan are doing dangerous and difficult work and this work continues, it continues as we speak here today. They are in the field, they are doing their job for Australia and it is dangerous.
I've said before that there is no higher calling for any Australian than to wear the uniform of Australia. And on a difficult and tragic day such as today, we are reminded of the cost of wearing that uniform – and that is to ultimately surrender your life for your country. And that is what has happened.
Fighting the war in Afghanistan continues as an important part of the fight against terrorism, the fight against Al Qaeda.
It is also part and parcel of our obligations to our allies and friends, given that this war in Afghanistan began following the terrorist attacks on September 11 by Al Qaeda resulting in the murder of thousands of innocent civilians.
My thoughts, my prayers, go out to this young man's family. The nation grieves with his family today. The nation grieves with his comrades today. The nation grieves with his friends today. I'll take your questions.
JOURNALIST: Can you tell us what state the soldier comes from?
PRIME MINISTER: None of those details will be made public at this stage and that has been at the request of the family. And these are deeply and understandably personal matters.
The Australian Defence Force has a well established protocol for engaging with the families of those who have lost their lives or those who have been wounded. Those protocols are being adhered to and what is of paramount importance to us is respecting the wishes of the family, as we're doing today.
JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, will the Government be reconsidering troop numbers in Afghanistan.
PRIME MINISTER: As I've indicated before, the Government believes that our current troop disposition in Afghanistan is about right. We have no plans to increase those numbers.
And remember our troops in Afghanistan, whom I visited recently, are doing a first class job. That is also the view of our allies and friends. That is also the view of the Afghan Government.
We believe the work that they are doing both in pushing back the enemy, both in training the Afghan National Army and engaged in necessary reconstruction work in Oruzgan Province is proceeding calmly, smoothly, methodically but there are always risks, there are always dangers, and we're reminded tragically of those dangers today.
JOURNALIST: Prime Minister were there any other Australians at that base? Or how many were there?
PRIME MINISTER: Again I would adhere to the protocols, I think important protocols laid down by the Australian military. We'll make further comment as it is appropriate.
We're always mindful of the ongoing security of our troops in the field at times like this. And having seen something, a small part of their operating environment again recently – this is a difficult, dangerous and bloody place.
JOURNALIST: [inaudible] Gaza [inaudible]
PRIME MINISTER: Australia is deeply concerned by continued violence in Gaza and in Southern Israel. Australia recognises Israel's right to self-defence, while we call on all parties to avoid any actions which result in unnecessary suffering or increased suffering on the part of innocent civilians.
The escalation in the conflict, following the incursion by Israeli ground forces, underlines the absolute importance of bringing about an effective diplomatic solution.
Any solution, any diplomatic solution, must find a way of bringing a halt to rocket attacks against Israel by the terrorist organisation Hamas. Any diplomatic solution much also bring about a halt of armed shipments into Gaza.
Any diplomatic solution must also bring about the opening of the Gaza crossings. Any diplomatic solution must also involve an immediate ceasefire. And in that connection, we the Australian Government support the actions of the United Nations now in seeking to bring about an immediate ceasefire.
Furthermore any diplomatic solution must form part of a longer term compact involving Israel and Palestine, based on a two-State solution.
All Australians are concerned about the humanitarian implications of this conflict. And it is critical therefore for Israel to meet its humanitarian obligations under international humanitarian law towards the people of Gaza, in ensuring that they have access to basic goods, food and humanitarian assistance and medical supplies.
The Australian Government has already in the last 12 months have doubled our level of assistance to the Palestinian people to nearly $50 million. And on 1 January, the Government announced a further allocation of $5 million for additional assistance to the people on the Gaza Strip. This is designed specifically to be delivered through UN agencies and international non-government organisations to provide food and much needed medical supplies to the people of Gaza.
The Australian Government also stands ready to deliver further assistance as is necessary.
Okay. Thank you.

I have a bit of a backlog of posts that need to go up! Here's a little Parisian inspired outfit I had on repeat for a good few weeks. The beret is my absolute favourite piece from the Silver Spoon Attire x Hello Kitty collection, which is sold in Selfridges and over on their website. The top and dress are pieces stolen from my sisters wardrobe that she will never get back - thanks Nar!

Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land on SMX West 2014: More Search & Social, New Marketing Land Summit
Larry Kim
Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land's founding editor (not that he needs any introduction in search marketing circles) is getting geared up for SMX West, the next in his series of search marketing conferences spanning North America, Europe and Australia. SMX is known as one of the best conferences to marketers to learn the latest trends and tactics to improve their marketing performance.
I had a few questions for Danny Sullivan about the upcoming event and the state of the search industry in general. Here's what he had to say about the evolution of SMX and what marketers will need to focus on this year:
Danny Sullivan on Knowledge Graph, Predictive Search & Social Signals
Larry Kim: You have Google's Amit Singhal doing a keynote on recent Google updates and the future of search, but what do you personally think we'll see out of Google over the next two to three years?
Danny Sullivan: I think we'll see much greater growth of embedding direct answers via the Knowledge Graph. We'll also see Google continue to expand in trying to do "predictive search" and show answers it's anticipating that we need.
Results will also grow to be even more personalized than ever before. And maybe, just maybe, social signals will be used more.
LK: What one platform or tool do you think is underrated right now, but marketers should really be keeping an eye on?
DS: Well, I'm super curious about Snapchat. It has so much growth. I don't know that it's underrated, but there's potential people aren't sure yet how to tap into. Aside from that, I think some don't realize what a powerhouse Pinterest is.
Conference Knowledge: Share the Love
LK: We see great social and blog content coming out of each SMX West event. How do you enable and encourage attendees to share their knowledge and what tools do you use to promote social sharing?
DS: I think people just naturally like to share great content. If you've seen something super helpful, and you pass that on to others, many get a great sense of satisfaction just from that. But also, sharing great content helps people want to follow you in social media, I think, so helping others also helps yourself. So, our key is to have great content to begin with. From that, we of course encourage people to share by providing an #smx hashtag, reminders in room slides at the show and through our own social media accounts. We also recently made the move to have slides from the events available on Slideshare, to make it easy for both attendees and others to get them.
New This Year: Marketing Land Summit
LK: SMX conferences take place around the world, from Jerusalem to New York to Stockholm. What makes SMX West unique?
DS: SMX West is especially designed for people who are in or near the West Coast looking for a show that broadly covers all aspects of search marketing. It's really the location. SMX East has similar content. But if the snow keeps hitting much of the US, maybe some people will think they'd like an escape to warmer California this time of year.
But new to SMX West is also our Marketing Land Summit. It's a special track within SMX West where we have a series of keynote-level, solo presentations providing a more strategic look at search marketing and digital marketing issues of interest to any digital marketer. It's the debut of this, so that helps make SMX West special. Also, the close proximity to Google means that you get slightly more Googlers around the show, doing lunch networking or out in general.
The Future of SMX & Social Media Integration
LK: You always seem to be a step ahead of emerging trends in search and it looks like you've added thirty new sessions to SMX West this time around. What other changes or evolution can we expect from SMX conferences in the future?
DS: The Marketing Land Summit track I mentioned above is one example, where we're trying to involve many viewpoints with a higher-level format, yet still have content that's applicable to the search marketer.
We also, when planning a show, carefully review what happened at the last show. Does it make sense to return a session? Do we need to evolve one aspect of a session into a new breakout? What trends are we seeing as Search Engine Land editors or hearing from our contributors? What are people suggesting as session ideas? That's what we do each time to make sure the program itself is always evolving.
LK: You've added a Social Media Marketing Boot Camp to the agenda. Tell us more about that and why you wanted to add this program.
DS: We've had this before at our SMX Social Media event, and it proved very popular. There are constantly new people coming into the space who need to get up to speed. While SMX West is search-focused, plenty of search people also have to do or deal with social media. So offering it is an easy way for some of them to get educated.
SMX West in San Jose: Learn, Network & PARTY!
SMX West takes place in San Jose, California, March 11-13, 2014. See The Big Preview for more information on the 60+ sessions and keynotes on paid search, social media marketing, SEO, mobile and more.

Tipping depends on many different factors and habits, and customs tend to change from country to country. Some countries consider it compulsory. others believe it is an offence, while others simply believe that tip is the expression of a reward for good service: Italy falls into the third category.
When Italians travel to countries such as the US, where tipping is a well-established rule, they do end up having problems very often. Truth is this doesn't happen because Italians are rude or stingy, but simply because they hold very different habits from Americans when it comes to giving extra money to waiting staff.
More often than not, it is a simple matter of different cultures clashing: Italians are not mean, and those who think they just refuse to pay a tip because they are not generous forget to take into account how differently things work in Europe. Tip is usually a choice made by customers and relates to their satisfaction with the service and food. This is the main reason Italians are a little reluctant sometimes to leave the gratuity to waiters.
Very often, also, Italians think service is included in the check. In Italy, when you ask for the check you will not find the charge for the tip, "mancia", but you will sometimes find the entry "servizio", service, which actually stands for the service and work carried out by the waiters. However, this was often criticized by consumers, who felt they were often charged too much. The old Italian entry "pane e coperto", bread and cover, was badly criticized by Consumer Associations. Nowadays, in Rome the charge for the "coperto" is forbidden, but you will find a basket of bread on the table, and if you don't send it back it means that you accept it and that you are willing to pay for it (it basically replaces the old "coperto"). In the rest of Italy, you will only have to pay service in some restaurants, which have the duty to state this clearly on their menu. The price for service may vary from restaurant to restaurant, but it is usually around 10-15%, while the coperto is usually between 1 and 2 euro per person.
The point is that, all in all, tipping in italy is up to the customer, and it becomes at times hard to realize it is compulsory in other countries; even those who are happy to leave a tip, often get caught by leaving the wrong amount. As in Italy tipping is a choice, customers also decide how much they want to leave and this is usually based on the level of their satisfaction: the higher the tip, the better the service. Much depends on the politeness and cordiality of the staff, but the amount is something extremely subjective and waiters can never and will never ask for it. This clearly is very different from the American standard habit of tipping 10%-15% across the board.
The thorny issue of tipping is not only for restaurants, but also for other types of services. Let's take tour guides, for instance. Even if there is not a rule or an established tipping fare, it is a good custom to always leave a reward for the guide. If the tour guide was kind and did well its job, people usually collect money and give the tour guide a 'collective' tip.
So, tip or not to tip, this is the question: Italians sometimes find it difficult to conceive tipping as a 'duty'. It is true that some may find it harsh not to reward waiting staff after a nice meal, but to many Italians that is the duty of a boss, not of a costumer. Ultimately, however, one must follow the old saying, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do:" when in the US, tip like an American.


Fusing paint and moving image, Jacco Olivier creates short, painterly animations that depict a variety of subject matter, ranging from scenes of daily life to elemental landscapes and abstract forms. Every painting is repeatedly reworked in generous, casual strokes and systematically photographed at each stage of development. The resulting films are enigmatic and experiential– moving in and out of abstraction they reveal the traces and decisions made by the artist in the process of painting. The works for which Olivier first became known are, with few exceptions, small-scale single projections of concise narrative episodes that appear in a microcosmic, dreamlike world. However, Whale, 2006, in which the artist imagines a whale's movements so that it disappears and reappears in a painterly field, is split across three projections and spans some twelve metres in total.
While there is a clear and quite complex process involved in their creation, Olivier does not set a thematic agenda for the works, or for their relationship to one another. The films are instead imagined as windows on to converging, and often elegantly simple, moments of daily life–a bus journey, a swim in the ocean, or a walk through the wood. In Calling, 2006, for instance, a village church comes into view as a bird beats its wings overhead. A phone call is made from a booth on the street and as it rings a mother and her children walk down a staircase. A pink house floats by, and a figure draws back the curtain to view the world outside. At this convergence of painting and cinema lies an uneasy tension, a feeling that something is about to happen or has just happened that is unexpected and beyond our control.
Born in 1972, Jacco Olivier lives and works in Amsterdam. In 2012 Olivier staged an outdoor exhibition of six painterly animations at Madison Square Park, New York; he has additionally recently exhibited at Indianapolis Museum of Art, 2016, solo; Galerie der Stadt Backnan, 2015, solo; Museum Hilversum, 2014; GEM, The Hague, 2014, solo; Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 2013; Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst, Amsterdam, 2012, solo; Artpace, San Antonio, Texas, 2012; Fundación Foto Colectania, Barcelona, 2012; Stedelijk Museum Zwolle, Zwolle, Netherlands, 2012; Dordrechts Museum, Netherlands, 2011–12; Denver Art Museum, Denver, 2011; the 8th SITE Santa Fe Biennial (2010-11); Centro de Arte de Caja de Burgos, Burgos, Spain, 2010, solo; Victoria Miro Gallery, London, 2010; Blaffer Gallery, The Art Museum of the University of Houston, 2010, solo and Portsmouth Museum of Art, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 2010.


Kourtney Kardashian may have enlisted the help of interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard when it came to decorating her 11,500-square-foot Tuscan-style home, but the most special items were not hand-picked by the decorator to the stars. Instead, they were all given to her by various family members, as the eldest Kardashian sibling recently pointed out on her website.
Kardashian shared a peek at all of the "things she really cherishes" throughout her home, where she is raising her three children: Mason, 7; Penelope, 4; and Reign, 2. Naturally, the reality star cited artwork from her children as some of the most meaningful items. "I love to display the masterpieces that my kids make," Kardashian writes on her website. "The kids and I enjoy seeing it on the fridge all year long."
Scott Disick, the father of Kardashian's three children, also contributed to her collection, gifting her a diamond-dust skull print by artist Damien Hirst. There are also items on display from her siblings (for example, Kendall Jenner gave her a coffee-table book of Annie Leibovitz photographs), but perhaps the pieces with the most sentimental value came from her parents.
When Kardashian was much younger the family matriarch, Kris Jenner, gave her the grand piano that is now featured in her home. "I've had this Yamaha piano since I was a little girl. I took lessons on it," Kardashian writes, adding that the instrument "will always be in our family." And the star has several items throughout her home from her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died from cancer in 2003. In her living room under her coffee table she has Syrian inlaid game boxes that once belonged to her father. "They are so beautiful and so special to me," she writes. Her father's law books sit on bookshelves, next to the pièce de résistance: a pair of platform shoes in a Lucite box, a present to her father from Elton John. "My dad always kept them in his closet, but I had them put into a shadow box," she writes. "They are so special."


The 'Ping Nakara' is located in the prime tourist area of downtown Chiang Mai. Close by the Ping River, the hotel is within a few minutes easy walk to major tourist attractions such as the night bazaar (open everyday from 6-11 pm), the city's main fresh market, and the pier from which river cruises depart. Several temples are in the immediate area as well. As it is such a popular location, there are over fifty restaurants serving many kinds of cuisine nearby.
A bit further away, no more than a five minute tuk- tuk ride, is the old city, inside the moat. In this area are many old temples as well as local neighborhoods. It is a nice area to explore during the day to see temples, old houses, and the Chiang Mai way of life. There are walking streets in the evening every Saturday at Wualai Road and every Sunday at Ratchadamnoen Road.

Memphis basketball routs Alcorn State without James Wiseman
Jason Munz
Lester Quinones, newly 19 years old and from the seat of his hiked-up shorts, flexed his muscles after sinking a basket and drawing a foul Saturday.
It was a gesture symbolic of the way Memphis beat Alcorn State 102-56 at FedExForum and how the Tigers are handling what's gone on in the past week. Memphis outhustled, outmuscled and outplayed Alcorn State — all while James Wiseman watched from the end of the bench.
On Thursday, Memphis' preseason All-American and projected No. 1 NBA Draft pick dropped his lawsuit against the NCAA, and the school immediately ruled him ineligible and applied for reinstatement. He will sit out until the NCAA's reinstatement staff decides his formal punishment.
"(The team) understands what's going on. It's just part of life. Nothing that we can do about it right now," coach Penny Hardaway said. "We just have to continue to try to focus as hard as we can. And we just keep everything right in front of us."

Smooth it was not without Wiseman, but the 15th-ranked Tigers (3-1) had their teammate's back.
"We don't see (being without Wiseman) as a negative," freshman forward Precious Achiuwa said. "I think it's a chance for every guy, for every other person to step up and play the game of basketball. We understand James is not playing right now, which hurts the team in a way. Because he's a big part of the team, obviously. But I think it's an opportunity for the other guys to step up and play. Dudes that haven't been playing a lot of minutes to step up and play and show what they can do until everything gets resolved."
Here are three observations from the game.
Quinones, a Brentwood, New York, native, continued to increase his production.
Entering the game, the freshman guard was averaging 10 points and three rebounds.
Against the Braves (1-3), he collected the first double-double of his college career. He was efficient, hitting 7 of his 8 field goal attempts and making 6 of his 7 free throw attempts.
Quinones punctuated his career-high 21 points with his only 3-pointer of the game. It's just the fifth of his career, as he was just 4-of-17 through three games. On Saturday, he was 1-for-2.
"I mean, just really crashing the boards," Quinones said. "Since they were a pretty undersized team today. So just really crashing hard every time. And just really breaking their press, finding my open teammates. Just really being an overall good teammate today was my goal."
Eight of his 10 rebounds came on the defensive end.
Achiuwa steps up
Memphis' other five-star freshman flexed his muscles in a pair of exhibition games, registering double-doubles.
But the first three regular-season games of Achiuwa's Tiger career were more pedestrian than prominent. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 9.7 points and 6.3 rebounds against South Carolina State, Illinois-Chicago and No. 14 Oregon.
On Saturday, Achiuwa was 6-of-11 from the field and five of his eight rebounds were on the offensive end. He was 8-for-20 from the free throw line.
Quinones, Achiuwa, Tyler Harris, Lance Thomas and D.J. Jeffries hit double-digits in scoring.
All 11 players who got minutes scored at least one point. Damion Baugh was the only Tiger without a field goal. He didn't attempt one.
Hardaway said Friday that senior center Isaiah Maurice's role will expand with Wiseman out. The 6-10 Maurice produced six points, nine rebounds and a block in 11 minutes.
"Yeah, Isaiah actually deserved more minutes tonight. I just tried to get Precious going," Hardaway said. "I tried to get him some confidence. He only shot the ball five times against Oregon. I changed during the game to try to get him more minutes at that position."

What Role Do Distribution Companies Play in Today's Economy?
Given that contemporary economy is immensely fast-paced, the role of distributors is often being questioned. Though a majority of people feel that it makes sense to do away with the middleman, since efficiency is a manufacturer's ultimate goal, on the contrary, distributors can play a crucial role in establishing a smooth connection between manufacturers and customers. Distribution companies Dubai can expedite response times, enhance the reach of a company, and even create value-added packages that complement a company's product offering or scope. If they are cut out from the system, whether the buyer or the seller will have to perform these functions, which is turn will have an adverse impact on the bottom line.
There is a common misconception that distributors are only concerned with taking orders and stocking shelves. By actually gaining some insight of the system, one would know that many are staffed with technical experts who have the know-how to deal with issues with specifying and sizing components, improving efficiencies, and troubleshooting failures. They are also equipped to engineer solutions for tough, complex problems, putting to use the best available software and modelling tools.
Since distribution services are adept enough to handle multiple products from various companies, they can bundle components into turnkey systems. Yet another argument in favour of distribution companies is that, they are respond quickly to customer demands, which is a critical factor in today's highly competitive environment. As local and nimble members, food distribution companies in key geographical areas can provide service to customers at a level that would be difficult or even impossible to execute through headquarters. In order to ensure smooth functioning of any economy, distributors should be looked upon as an integral part of the team and treated accordingly. They can play a unique role that combines the roles of business partners and customers. Distribution companies can also benefit economies majorly if they have a thorough knowledge of your product in order to engineer, sell, and service it.
To put in a nutshell, be it providing engineering support and aftermarket services, reducing costs, or optimization of processes, as well as managing inventories, besides of course, selling products, distribution companies undeniably create value for manufacturers and customers alike.
