rudy ruettiger....against all odds
rudy, a dyslexic. 3 rejections before accepted to the Univercity of Notre Dame. He played football as his ideal game and succeeded at attaining his goal despite all hindrances which made him even more popular. his achievements and determination has made him a good motivational speaker.

he is also the founder of rudy foundation, whose mission is to help children of all ages around the world reach their full potential. and his website www.rudyint.com has and inspirational messages column. http://www.rudyint.com/inspirational.cfm
'Everyone told me, I couldn't do it, but in the end, I reached that goal'
" I got tired of the noise of everyone telling me why I couldn't and why I shouldn't and why I wouldn't. I felt like I was living in a box labeled " this is where you belong". Well that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you hear it enough you start believing it.
I know that if I don't change my friends or my circumstances soon, I'd ended up somewhere I didn't want to be,
pg 77. I'm going to control this deal by volunteering instead of having someone else tell me what to do. I saw that by taking control of things, you get better options.
It was a book called Psycho-Cybernatics by Maxwell Maltz that has caught rudy by surprise on what a mind is capable of doing.

psycho-cybernetics
' one message stood out for me . You are in control of your destiny. Your mind is very powerful, what you think is your reality. Just because something is a struggle doesn't mean you can't do it. it just means you've got to find a different way of doing it.
pg 78: " I'm going to do this, period, end of sentence," and new opportunities created just by my showing up. I went without a game plan. Maltz said if you take action, the plan will unfold in front of you. You can develop your game plan as you move toward your goal.
Sometimes it's better not to have everything laid out. Focusing too much on how you think it should happen/go can cause you to miss opportunities. Everyone of us uses our mind to create our life. Willing to swim against the streams, fight against the odds and believe you can be whatever you want to be.

chris daughtry what about now
cool song. got message. let's listen to it
What About Now lyrics
Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby , before it's too late,
What about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
Thisbroken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

sheryl leach the creator of barney
Quote: 'Necessity is the mother of invention'

19 years ago, Sheryl created this children icon out of her needs to keep her son entertain and since than there was not much of choices to pick from, her son had become reason Barney is around today.
as what all human being do, obstacles in life comes and goes. the most unimaginable that could happen had happened. her son had a seizure and was diagnosed of having a brain tumor. as a mother, all question pops up in her mind. 'what's going to happen to him, how's he going to handle this emotionally, and all others concern how his future would turn out to be'
she had new insight after reading this book. The power of now by Eckhart Tolle. in the book its message" all fears comes from living in the past or the future, which are both in our minds-in reality, it is always now. as long as we stay with the Now, we have peace. knowing this, we can choose peace at any moment."

sheryl came across this
' emotions come and go, but we are not those emotions, they just pass through us. at any moment, we can choose to participate in fear and doubt, or we can turn to the now and find peace. than from that place of peace, we can continue forward to deal with the situations at hand. our life situation maybe the same, but we can alter our response to it'
chellie campbell; the wealthy spirit
i came across her when i read the you've got to read this book. who is chellie? a former bookkeeper & musical comedy actress whom has created the popular financial stress reduction workshop. it teaches you on managing your financial .

but the most interesting thing here is, chellie coach the coaches to teach on her principles. it is disseminated around the US without the need of her to be there. that's pretty cool.
- Are you someone that others always call for good advice?
- Do you enjoy meeting new people and making new friends?
- Do you enjoy teaching, counseling, training, speaking, or coaching?
- Would you like to work for yourself doing work you love, making a great income, and helping others do the same?
as for chellie, she had gain something valuables in her life after she read this book.
'i couldn't believe what i was reading. page after page gave me explicit instructions on how to please myself before pleasing others. it said that i had the right to choose my own happiness first. that i could say no. and more importantly, that i had the right not to explain why i was saying no.'
this was all due to her boss than, whom was less than sensitive enough to care for the employee, very self absorbed and doesn't know how to behave, speak more than to acknowledge his subordinates. Mentally re***ded i would say. very familiar.
she read the book and the next time her boss yell at her, she was able to yell at him back. he never yelled at her again.
'Smiths' book said not to give your reasons for saying no, or the conversations would degenerate into an argument over the validity of your reasons. i just said no.'
so people learn to say NO

she came accross the book by Stephen Covey, 7 habits of Highly Effective People
a part of the book had us to meditate. imagining we are in a funeral and it was our own. What would they say at our own funeral. how do they remember us by, what kind of person are we. he said " begin with the end in mind".
" i realized in my heart that i wasn't living the way I wanted to be remembered"
" the other things that struck me was that there are so many things i still wanted to do. like be with other people - like sit with my mom and paint her toenail or laugh hysterically with my dad until both our stomachs hurt. i wanted them to have those memories, but i was too busy for those kinds of things at the time"
" i think the most important things that the book has given me was the permission to write my own life. before i read the book, i hadn't let myself ' stand inside' the gift of speaking that God had given me. but i could tell that i had something special to give by the way people reacted to me when i spoke"
" in fact , every important decision i've mad since reading Covey's book has been based on that one question: How do I want to be remembered?"
I felt that we need to find our strength, our specialties and focus on it. make the most of the gift we have but be grounded. remember the people we have around us.
kita dilahirkan di muka bumi ini, semua ada tujuannya tersendiri. cari kekuatan diri. sumbangkan pada dunia. Insya Allah kita akan mati meninggalkan nama.
