Unless you have been living under a rock these last few months, you will have heard (and most possibly felt) the effects of this so called Credit Crisis or global recession.
And i pray that you have not fallen victim to it, however, while most people have somewhat of an idea of what it is, not everyone understands it fully.
In fact, i think the majority of people have not gotten their heads around the complexities of it and are too shy to ask or can’t find a simple enough explanation to tell us what is going on!
What has kicked of this global recession? Well the sub prime mortgage crisis in america ….but what does all that mean!!!
I found this great video by a media student named Jonathan Jarvis, and hats of to the guy, he really did a hell of a job! Am extremely impressed and kind of understand what has been going on that little much better!
Check out this excellent video that explains in the simplest terms, what this credit crisis is, and why countries are facing a global recession.
Zig Ziglar is definately one of my favourite Personal Development speakers and authors.
Very funny, very motivating and a great speaker!
Zig Ziglar
Zig Ziglar is by far one of the most famous and recognizable names in Personal Development.
In this video Zig Ziglar uses the example of a pump to demonstrate how most people live their lives, and how we get out of life what we put in, not the other way around!
To get what you want out of life as Zig Ziglar says you have to “Prime the pump”
Quite a weird day yesterday, as my brother left on his journey to the north pole. Aiming to become the first Arab to hike to the North Pole, he will be stopping of in a couple of places before heading to Canada and then beginning the long greulling hike to the north pole.
Nabs Climbing
Although my brother Nabs has been planning this North Pole trip for a while and it is something we have known about for a long time, our last few days have been somewhat emotional and different.
Nabs is planning on being the first Arab to hike to the north pole, there have been arabs that have been there by ship or helicopter but there is a pretty good reason why there has not been many people that have hiked there!
It has its dangers! And obviously if you aren’t prepared physically and mentally its probably not a good idea to go, to say the least!
Well, being a dangerous trip, Nabs had to handle a few things before he went, and it all kind of hit home when he sent me a text saying that he wanted me to witness his will!
Wow!
In his last hours in Bahrain and at his farewell party we joked around a lot and kept the event very upbeat and merry, but also there were emotional times where he had to make a bit of peace with people! At the end of the day, we have every faith that Nabs will make it, but you always have to cover your bases just in case and that is scary and difficult thing to do! Also its sad to say but its something that had never been done by any of us! As my sister said its also something that a lot of us should do more often in a way I guess!
At the end of the day, you might wonder, how does a family member react when you know that it is something that is dangerous that your brother is going on?
Well my brother always talked about going to Everest or doing something and making his mark. I am also a big fan of making things happen vs talking about things happening!
There are so many people that talk a great game but few people follow through, and my brother is not one of those!
I read that the single greatest regret that people have on their death bed is thinking what if I had done more and taken more risks! Its not about just living a 9 to 5 life day to day, its about making a difference, its about contribution- so how does a brother react, well , with pride and support!
We are happy that he is doing something important to him and happy that he is doing something for his country and for the positive profile of Arabs around the world. And happy that through his efforts a substantial contribution to charities will be made!
Our thoughts and hearts are going out to him on this journey and we wish him all the best of luck!
I will be helping handle his blog along with my own (this one) while he is at the north pole, to check out his blog visit www.nabse.ws
Also if you would like to donate money to one of the causes that Nabs is supporting then please click here to donate.
Are you afraid of success? I used to be, and it almost kept me from achieving my goals. I used to think that successful people were smarter and more talented than the rest of us. WRONG! Want to know Malcolm Forbes’ secret to success? “Try hard enough.” New York Times best-selling author Harvey Mackay says,
“People begin to become successful the minute they decide to be.”
Key To Success

Thanks to the Internet, there is a whole new world of business opportunity for ordinary people like you and me.

With a few simple tools and a little persistence you absolutely can achieve financial success. Mark Twain once said,
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”
