"Slow and Steady Wins the Race"... It's Not Glamorous, but It's True

"Slow and Steady Wins the Race"... It's Not Glamorous, but It's True by Cynthia Kersey

"Slow and steady wins the race." It's not glamorous, but it's true. The tragedy is that most people never even get in the race, and many of those who do hope that success comes easily and swiftly. When it doesn't, they're out of the race, before it really begins. What they don't realize is that the decision to be unstoppable is never made just once. It is made moment by moment, again and again.

Setbacks are inevitable. In fact, they're evidence that we're doing something. The more mistakes we make, the greater our chance of success. Failures indicate a willingness to experiment and take risks. Unstoppable women have learned that each failure brings wisdom and insight that will take them one step closer to achieving their dreams. When we focus on one unstoppable moment at a time and stay the course, the end result will take care of itself.

It's important to remind ourselves that failure is an event, not a person. If you don't achieve your 30-day goal, does that make you a failure? If you don't get a promotion at work, does that make you a failure? If you get married and then divorced, does that make you a failure? Of course not!

Failure doesn't characterize who you are. It is simply an event that happens to you. And when you continue to move forward, despite difficult experiences, you have already won!

ACTION: Find the gift in the setback

The next time the outcome you had hoped for doesn't transpire, look for the gift. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. What can I learn from what happened?
2. What am I grateful for about this experience?
3. What are the potential benefits of this experience?
4. What is the best way for me to move forward?

Commit to finding the gift in any setback. And in advance, tell yourself that you will never, never, never quit. If you don't give up, you simply cannot fail. Not only will you achieve your dreams, but the combination of your commitment, courage, and faith will rise as the greatest triumph of all.

Choose to be unstoppable!

New Appliances

2008-06-27T14:20:02Z

This is the only time you are excited to do house work! You get a new washer and dryer....you are so excited to do laundry!!! You go around the house LOOKING for laundry. You might even wash stuff that is already clean!!!!

You get a new vacuum, you are on a mad hunt for dirt to suck up with this new baby!!

I bought a new vacuum 6 months ago, an Infinity. (http://www.infinityvac.com/) And I HATE IT!!!! I was in the market for a new vacuum and saw this one at Costco. I called my husband to google this vacuum and tell me what he had found. He found many site praising this vacuum......http://www.lasplash.com/publish/Home_134/The_Shark_Infinity_Vacuum_Review_A_Vacuum_to_be_Envied.php. These peole to not know what the heck they are talking about. I hate it and the kids hate it. Realy user unfriendly. Every 3 min I am stopping to empty it out. I have to take it apart because it get clogged where the motor and the hose meet!! After EVERY use, I have to clean ALL the filters or it will not turn on for the next time I use it. $200.00 down the toilet!!!

So, I went with a brand name I know. I bought a Bissel Pet Hair Eraser. I just got done putting it together and can not wait to use it. This better work!!! Oh and my back ground on vacuums? I was in the cleaning business with my own little business for over 25yrs. They really do not make good vacuums like they use to and I will not pay over $200.00 for one. You should be able to buy a great house vacuum for under $200.0, anything more, I will buy a commercial vacuum.

Well, here I go with my new vacuum, wish me luck!?

"Have to" or "Get to"

2008-06-27T03:41:27Z

Who knew that two simple words could change one's mindset, perspective and approach to work and life? Just two words have the potential to enhance joy, productivity, performance and change a complaining voice to an appreciative heart.

So often we say things like, "I have to take the kids to practice." "I have to go to this meeting." "I have to finish this project." "I have to go to work today." "I have to take care of this customer." "I have to share this new information with my team." "I have to see my family this weekend."

We act as if we don't have a choice. As if we are imprisoned by a paycheck and the expectations of a world that forces us to do thing we don’t want to do. But in reality we do have a choice. We can choose our attitude and our actions. We can choose how we view our life and work. We can realize that every day is a gift. It’s not about what we have to do. It's about what we get to do.

We get to live this life while so many like Tim Russert and my Mom have left this world far too early. We get to drive in traffic while so many are too sick to drive a car. We get to go to a job while so many are unemployed. We get to raise our children even if they drive us nuts at times. :) We get to interact with our employees and customers and make a difference in their life. We get to use our gifts and talents to make a product or provide a service. We get to eat three meals a day while millions of people are starving. We get to work on projects, answer phone calls, serve customers, participate in meetings, design, create, share, sell, lead and suit up every day for the game of life.

Yes there will be challenges and life isn't easy but each day we wake up we get another opportunity to make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today. We get to uplift, inspire, encourage, and impact others. We get to live this life. Let's make the most of it by remembering that life is a gift not an obligation.

Stay Positive!

Uncontacted Tribe Photographed in Brazil

2008-06-24T14:59:14Z

Members of an unknown Amazon Basin tribe and their dwellings are seen during a flight over the Brazilian state of Acre along the border with Peru in these May, 2008 photos distributed by Survival International. Survival International estimates that there are over 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, and says that uncontacted tribes in the region are under increasing threat from illegal logging over the border in Peru

Explanation of my name change

2008-05-19T17:59:59Z

http://tribes.tribe.net/goldstarclub/thread/2c89668e-4ede-4274-9277-e1c5438b0d6e

The link posted here brings you to a silly thread in another tribe which basically will show you why tribe deleted my Oz profile. That being said, although I did have fun getting all of the top moderators into the same Avatar, I was not the ALT profile as suggested in this thread. It is someone I know and who is in this tribe, and It was all in fun.

My real name is Bruce. Most of you know this. I was a top moderator on this site for a very long time and I created the Mystubenmyspec tribe which is now moderated by Lady Jess who is doing an amazing job. I created the venting tribe which is now moderated by Denice who is also doing a wonderful job keeping that tribe alive. They were appointed moderators of those tribes after my origional profile was deleted by tribe.

I would never claim to be a perfect person. I will not sit here and BS anyone and say I have never stuck back at some of these freaks on the site when I felt I was pushed too far. BUT many of you here have known me for a long time and know how I treat the people I care about. I consider everyone in this tribe a friend and I feel I have treated each person here with the respect they deserve.

That being said I am sure in the near future I will re-invite everyone here to a new tribe as I can no longer be the moderator of this one as I was unsubbed from this site without any explanation although the link I posted explains why. BUT, like I stated, I was not the person who is being referred to in this thread even though that profile was deleted as well.

In addition, when my first profile on this site was deleted, tribe posted on the gold tribe that I would be refunded for my premium membership, and they also stated I would NOT be allowed to purchase another premium membership. Well, I would never throw away another $50.00 - but nothing was stated that I cannot be on this site.

Love you all,

Bruce

Differences Between Women and Men

2008-05-16T06:55:51Z

1. NAMES
If Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth and Barbara go out for lunch, they will call each other
Laurie, Linda, Elizabeth, and Barbara.

If Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as
Fat Boy, Godzilla, Peanut-Head, and Scrappy.

2. EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mark, Chris, Eric and Tom will each throw in a $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

3. MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need, but it's on sale.

4. BATHROOMS

A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream,
razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337.

A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

5. ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that... is the beginning of a new argument.

6. CATS

Women love cats.

Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

7. FUTURE

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

8. SUCCESS

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

9. MARRIAGE

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change but she does.

10. DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage,
answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

11. NATURAL

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

12. OFFSPRING

Ah,children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

13. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Philosophies to Ponder

2008-05-09T14:19:09Z

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.

No one is listening until you make a mistake.

Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.

The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

Work is accomplished by those employees who have not reached their level of incompetence.

You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an approaching train.

To be 6 Again

2008-05-08T13:53:04Z

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.

'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again??'

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you dumb ass!'

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong.

You won't believe this!
El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a walkway, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga , Spain . The walkway has gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is only one meter in width, and over a 700-meter fall, and over time it has also lost its handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost th eir lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, ad venturous tourists still find their way into the walkway.The view and the music are almost like being in a video game...very cool!Oh yes... once you get to the website and click the 'Play' button - you must go full screen!!

Biker death today....

2008-04-29T10:29:38Z

Today, I headed out on my Harley and met friends new and old for a little road therapy. Around dinner time, at a pub stop with friends, I checked my cell phone. I had a couple missed calls from my boyfriend, Chad - no messages. Not like him. Later, I had a couple from my ex-husband, too.

I called Chad first. I asked how he was, and he was silent for a moment. Then in a strange tone, he said, "Well, I'm fine NOW." I thought he was still upset about this argument we got into last night, even though we discussed it, and things were fine.

No. Turns out, he had been having a hard time worry about me. He worked at the fire station Sunday from 8 a.m. to Monday 8 a.m. At about 4:30 p.m., a woman around my age went down on her motorcycle on the road by my house and was killed. His station alternates calls - his big ladder truck one call, the hose engine the next. This call, he heard over the loudspeaker, motorcycle fatality near my house, 40 yr old woman, and the engine got the call. He had been freaking for quite some time until I called him back. I guess he knew when I called it wasn't me. He was on the radio grilling his coworkers on the engine for details... What color bike, what color hair, where is she, is she alive, etc. Poor lady was hamburger, not much left, by the time they found her. Sounds like other cars ran over her once she hit the median. But it didn't match my description. Thank god. It obviously bothered him.

He was pretty grouchy and short with me when I spoke to him on the phone. He questioned me about where I was, what I was doing, how much was I drinking, etc. Said he wasn't trying to be a 'whiny bitch' but he would have a problem if I was drinking on my bike because it just made it more dangerous. Well, duh! I have drinks but very few and I watch myself and eat when I'm on the road. I don't want to die! After last night's argument, I felt a little hurt by his tone. But I bet he is just worried and tired.

I'm starting to see that he really isn't digging some of my risk taking behaviors. I met some guys on Mt. Hood yesterday that parasail, and I made plans to go parasailing soon. He was NOT happy with that. He feels like I'm potentially jumping to my death.

Me, it sounds fabulous, and I can't wait! I worry about him driving up and down Mt. Hood to ski, because he does it so often I feel he puts himself at risk percentage wise, driving around loons who can't drive in winter weather. And then there is the fact that he is standing on burning roofs, running into burning buildings, dealing with drug addicts and dealers, he's had a gun pulled on him, etc. I think I've been remarkably un-hen-like.

I'm not sure how to reassure him. He said he doesn't want me to stop doing what I love. And he won't try to make me stop. But I know it bothers him. Have you had similar stuff with your significant other? What helped? I think I'm doing the right things, but what else helps?

Everyone, please take a moment and send a biker sister some love. She was young and probably was living a thriving, fulfilling life she did not want to leave. And her family is probably heartbroken. Let's send some to the person riding with her, when she died, too, because I know that person is suffering badly tonight, and for quite a while into the future.

In his dreams:

2008-04-23T15:14:20Z

In his dreams he's taken away by alien beings to another
galaxy, deep in space. To a planet where a man can live
out his fantasies, and experience unimaginable pleasures.
But morning comes and soon the realities of life will
shatter his illusions, and the clichés of the world will
bring him down. But still he's waiting for a change.

NEW YORK - A time-lapse video of a man trapped in an elevator for 41 hours has become something of an Internet sensation after surveillance camera footage emerged of the event which occurred nearly a decade ago.

``After a certain period of time I knew that I was in pretty big trouble because it was the weekend,'' Nicholas White said Monday on ABC-TV's ``Good Morning America.''

Video of his Oct. 15, 1999, ordeal in an elevator in New York's McGraw-Hill building was posted online to accompany an article in the April 21 edition of The New Yorker. It can be seen on the magazine's Web site and had been viewed more than 280,000 times on YouTube by Monday morning.

White said he understood why the video has captured people's attention: So many have wondered what they would do if it happened to them.

Edited to a soundtrack of classical piano music, the video shows him pacing, trying to climb the walls, lying down, curled up in a fetal position, prying apart the doors. (He said he relieved himself down the shaft when the doors were open.)

White sued the managers of the midtown skycraper and the elevator maintenance company and won an undisclosed settlement.

He was a production manager for Business Week when he left his office about 11 p.m. Friday for a cigarette break. According to the article, it was never determined exactly why the elevator stalled though there was talk of a voltage dip.

mmmm somethin' smells good!

2008-04-21T01:13:42Z

I just made some more toast here at the office (hungry this morning, a lot) and everyone coming in is delighting over the smell and surprised to find that it is, in fact, just toast. So I'm thinking, as I often do, about what my favorite smells in the world are - and I know you have some too, so let's hear 'em.

I'll start: in no particular order except for #1, which is Cilantro. Best smell in the world!!
- toast
- celery
- tomatoes when you water them in late afternoon sun
- frozen laundry that's just beginning to defrost (this is a very very rare and exotic smell now)
- all the flowering ones: jasmine, honeysuckle, lilies, lavender, gardenia, freesia, hyacinths especially white ones -- have you noticed that white flowers tend to have the strongest smells? -- strangely while I like roses I don't find them too thrilling, not like these others
- babies (most parts and most times)

Do what God says

DeLand - A 30-year-old woman caused quite a commotion Wednesday evening when she decided to direct traffic at a DeLand intersection.

Rather than keeping traffic flowing through the intersection of W. Euclid and S. Orange avenues, the woman was creating a bit of a hazard, police said, because she was topless. The DeLand Police Department received a number of calls about 7 p.m. and responded to find the woman "foaming at the mouth and talking to herself," according to a police report.

The DeLand woman told police that God told her to direct traffic.

She was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation.

The Power of Attraction

2008-04-17T16:56:52Z

I have been pondering this and wonder if anyone has any thoughts to add.
Thoughts are powerful. Words are also. Like attracts like. Expectations are often fulfilled. Seek and ye shall receive.
What You Think Is What You Get

Your reality will represent what is going on in your mind and subconscious mind. Your attitude will be reflected back to you by the attitude of those close to you and around you on a daily basis. If you are positive and optimistic - you'll have positive and optimistic people around you.

Re-visit from time to time the definition: "the Law of Attraction is attracting to your life whatever you give your attention, focus and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted." It works all the time, everywhere, it's completely up to you to activate it. Set goals, long- term goals and literally flood your mind with positive, motivating thoughts and feelings. This is how you become excellent, more prosperous and a successful entrepreneur.

Can I be an insufferable mom and brag a minute????

2008-04-11T21:03:53Z

Please?

This is my son, Dustin. He is the most beautiful, amazing, talented young man I know. He plays 13 or 14 instruments, writes music, and has an ear with perfect pitch.

He decided one day that he wanted to sing. My older sister and I both sang, but he was in instrumental musician until that day, no matter how hard I tried to get him to sing, because I heard how he sounded when he was little and would sing around the house with me.

He turned 16 7/21/05. He started singing Sept 05. He auditioned for an elite a capella camp at University of Oregon June 06. And got in. One of 16 in all the northwestern states.

They got to choose ONE song to record, that week - the best they had to offer, and they had to vote on it. The other kids had sang since they were little, most with private lessons and aspirations of musical careers. Dustin shocked me, but not anyone who had worked with him, musically. Here it is.

I know we all tend to keep this tribe silly and light, but the blog Munky posted today really made me think of how lucky she is to find a loved one, a sister she never knew existed.

I am truly happy for you and your family, Munky. Sometimes the world just needs good news, if only stories like this would be reported more and stories about war and hate a little less?

Here is our friend, Munky's blog
