A fearless movie lifts me up

       And MAN ON WIRE is a movie that was so stunning and inspiring that I  knew while watching it that my life had been changed forever. If you've ever wondered what a fearless, creative, artful, joyful life would be like if someone ACTUALLY LIVED IT watch this movie...it's out on DVD now so you can rent it. It is the movie version of club fearless.

Inspiring books lift me up

     Inspirational books are great, but there's a better way . . . there's an even more effective way to STAY encouraged and inspired and I'm building a club around this new way. It was something I have longed for so many years I finally decided to just do it myself.

     Books lift me up until I put them down.  Then the inspiration starts to fade.  I can't wait for the writer's next book . . . but I do have to wait.  Sometimes for years!

     So I wanted to create something that would revitalize people's thinking ...  over and over, in an ongoing way and always be fresh and new.  Like having a new book every week.

"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage."

~Thucydidies

*     *     *     *     *

     That's why when you join this club you get a weekly email and something in the mail from me every two weeks.  Always fresh.  Always new.

     I, myself, like being inspired.  When I read about something exciting that someone has done, I know I could do something like that, too.

     So that's why I created Who's Fearless In This World? as my monthly report to you.  It's part of Club Fearless. It's a counter to the everyday news of doom and gloom and missing children and horrific politics.  Too much of that kind of news and I can get disheartened.  DIS-couraged.

     I would rather be encouraged than discouraged.  So my whole purpose behind Club Fearless is to encourage and inspire.  That's it.  I was put on this earth to encourage and inspire . .  myself and others.

     So how do I inspire myself?  How do I encourage myself?  You will know.  Because I'll be sharing my personal diary with you . . .  The journal I keep of ways to create wealth, to reinvent myself, to create the courage to change the things I can.

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage."

~Anais Nin

      Your bank account also shrinks or expands in proportion to your courage. So does the energy, strength and leanness of the human body. Those who boldly step into an exercise program, who courageously build the body into something brave and beautiful, are rewarded with expanded life.

       British researchers have recently concluded that the size of a man's belly and the bulk of his biceps provide a far more accurate forecast of his mortality than body mass index (BMI) alone, reports Reuters Health.

      The team from the Royal Free and University College Medical School in London analyzed data on 4,107 men ages 60 to 79 over a six-year period. During the study period 713 of them died. Those whose waists were greater than 40 inches and had above-average muscle mass were 36 percent more likely to die than the men who had smaller waists and bigger-than-average muscles. Those who had big
bellies and small muscles had a 55 percent greater mortality risk. As people age, they typically gain belly fat and lose muscle mass, changes that are not picked up in a BMI number.

     "In older men especially, we should not just be measuring just weight, but also their waist circumference and their muscle mass as measured by mid-arm muscle circumference," lead study author Dr. S. Goya Wannamethee told Reuters Health. He said the findings underscore the importance of life-long fitness, especially in the abdominal area.

    This is Clarence Bass who is in his seventies. I recommend all of his books, easily found on Amazon. His books are not just for bodybuilders, they offer practical inspiration and help for people like me, too.

bold move, which, by definition, cannot be planned."

     The most fun part of anything for me is the most unscripted, unplanned and innovative part---and in the club (starts Monday), that will be the monthly seminar where I'll go LIVE with spontaneous answers to the most interesting questions on earth (yours).  You'll be able to tune in to that seminar LIVE every month---and you'll be sent the audio from that afterwards so that if you happen to miss it or you just want a refresher, you can listen at your leisure.

     You become what you think about.  Many great people have said that.  It's even in the Bible.  So how much creative direction do I give to what gets into my thoughts every day?  What do I think about?  My fears? My worries?

     This will be a club that changes that; a mastermind that inspires creative thinking.  And  courage.  Combine creativity and courage?  Amazing what happens when you do that. 

      Is it all too rare that you do that?  Join the club

        It's that time again when another apprenticeship has opened up. If you would like to be my apprentice, learn my trade, work behind the scenes with me, take possession of all my material to present as you will, be taught and coached by me for a full year, learn how to build a very lucrative coaching and speaking and internet practice, then email me (100ways@compuserve.com) and tell me so. Also tell me your level of commitment to success. I've had one person who experienced apprenticeship tell me it was worth over a million dollars to him, and he got no argument from me.

Gata, asadar dsrepe Ip Man. Nu ma asteptam sincer la un asemenea film (semibiografic) pornind pregatit sa vad ceva gen Fearless, poate putin mai serios. Regia lui Wilson Yip este absolut speciala, mai mult de film european decat de film asiatic, ca sa nu zic de genul abordat: artele martiale. Camera este impecabila, montajul asijderea iar atmosfera spune totul dsrepe perioada anilor 30 si cea din momentul invaziei japoneze in China. Donnie Yen in rolul pincipal are carisma si efectiv joaca, dupa primele 10 minute pe mine cel putin reusind sa ma convinga ca de data aceasta abordez un film mult diferit fata de clasicele kung-fu. Nu in ultimul rand raman cascadele, de-a dreptul realiste (se spune ca aceasta ar fi chiar patina lui Wison Yip) si regizate de surpriza: Sammo Hung (Expertul).In incheiere raspund provocarii tale: Ip Man il bate pe Huo Yuanjia. Vorba romanului: la fundul gol. Cu pamatuful acela de sters mobila. De aseara sunt fanul lui Ip Man. Ma gandesc chiar sa imi fac un cont de mail cu numele asta. Daca e ocupat e clar ca si tu ti-ai luat acelasi cont, daca nu astept provocari de Huo Yuanjia

The AP credits issue is a big oveghirst, because it means he may have only taken 30 credits a semester instead of 40, which is not extraordinary if you are intelligent, disciplined, and motivated.The whole opening of his book is about how he became a felon and then reformed and got a 4-year degree in 1.5 years he should provide proof. A copy of his transcript would be nice, and he could post it on his blog and edit out the personal info.

I assume it will. I have used it for that long but they are like tanikg vitamins if you stop that you are not going to get the right supplements for your body. These are like vitamins for your hair have to use them but not everyday. I use it only 1-2 times a day now.

let me say after participating in 20 costents and winning none (almost winning some and get bypassed by copies, or worst, when realllly bad designs won)I got really depressed, thought of quitting design for good!Itc2b4s not bad enough to spend hours working for nothing, but to see lousy designs win, people dont understand designers are professionals who study brand identity and social interactions : Itc2b4s not just drawing!!

A question for those piipicatatrng in design contests:I have yet to see a spec worker justify their position.What is the appeal of a design contest to the freelance designer (or any human being with self esteem)? Professional designer or not, this is the message design contests send to the world about your talent:e2€œI agree to promote the idea that my time and talent is of little or no value.e2€9dThe design contest is like a lottery, except that the risk/reward factor is reversed. The e2€œcost of the tickete2€9d is much larger and prize is very small and not even guaranteed to be paid out to anyone.In the words of Benjamin Franklin:e2€œTime is money.e2€9de2€œDo not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of.e2€9dHow is it that a paltry and arbitrarily set fee without any regard for the time invested on the project, or the skill and talent of the designer can be a positive exercise for customers or designers in the long term? The only foreseeable result is deflating income for designers (a profession that is not well-paid to begin with) and, ultimately, promoting hasty hackwork to buyers.

This is my first time i visit here. I found interesting things to many in your blog, mostly to the debate.

Needless to say, absolutely nothing but perseverance can lead a person towards the way of achievement. In other words, a persevering dude in no way does his do the job with out doing well in it. This can be certainly unchangeable reality.
