We have all read about people who are successful briefly. They win a gold medal, make a fortune, or star in one great movie…and then disappear. Or, there are those like Marilyn Monroe
who achieve extraordinary success, at the cost of their own lives. These examples do not inspire
me!

My focus and fascination is with people who seem to do well in many areas of life, and do it over and over through a lifetime. In entertainment, I think of Paul Newman and Bill Cosby.
In business, I think of Ben and Jerry (the ice cream moguls), and a local hardware store owner who is famous for the money he´s give to children´s charities. As a Naval Officer, husband, businessman, politician and now as a mediator and philanthropist on the world stage, Jimmy
Carter has had a remarkable life. We all know examples of people who go from one success to another.

These are the people who inspire me!

I´ve studied them, and I´ve noticed they have the following traits in common:

1. They work hard! Yes, they play
hard, too! They get up early, they rarely complain, they expect performance from others, but they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off.

2. They are incredibly curious and eager to learn. They study, ask questions and read – constantly! An interesting point, however: While most of them did well in school, the difference is that they apply or take advantage of what they learn. Repeated success is not about memorizing facts, it´s about being able to take information and create, build, or apply it in new and important ways. Successful people want to learn everything about everything!

3. They network. They know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to friends, neighbors, co-workers and bartenders. They don´t have to be “the life of the party”, in fact many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. Successful people have a rolodex full of people who value their friendship and return their calls.

According to the latest report in the New York Times, a famous astrologist has made these predictions:

Sarah Palin will divorce her husband and will marry Asif Ali Zardari.

Then Palin will be elected Vice President of USA.

President McCain will die of old age and natural causes.

Palin will become President of the USA.

After Palin gets killed by an unknown group of  ‘terrorists’, her hastily handwritten last will and testament will be discovered by her husband Zardari.

Her will will say ” Zardari will inherit my presidency after my death”.  This will be frantically waved (once) in front of the Congress. It will than be put into an envelope and will replace the Declaration of Independence document. Public viewing of the same will not be allowed. Asif Ali Zardari will declare the FBI incompetent in the investigation of Palin’s murder, and will eventually ask the UN to investigate.

Zardari will become the next President of the USA.

The Republican Party will be renamed the Peoples Party of America, and Asif Ali Zardari will also be Co-Chairman.
