Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #31f "What is a Winner?” – Female version)
(If this is your first time on this site, I recommend that you begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
What Is A Winner?
Winning is doing the best you can do
With whatever God has given to you.
Winning will happen if you have a plan;
A plan that consists of the phrase, "I can!"
Winning is nothing more, at all;
Nothing more than rising each time you fall.
A winner will fight when she's hardest hit.
It's when things go wrong that she mustn't quit.
A winner prepares; a winner takes aim;
A winner will write the rules of the game.
A winner takes time for family and friends.
A winner has optimistic views that never ends.
A winner says it's possible; a loser says it's not.
A winner sees beneath the surface; a loser only sees the rot.
A winner must understand before she can be understood;
A loser doesn't care, as long as she looks good.
A winner must have a moral sense, a sense of who she is;
A loser has no moral sense; she has no need of this.
A winner decides; a loser can't chose;
A winner finds a way; a loser finds an excuse.
A winner anticipates; a winner acts;
A loser procrastinates; a loser re-acts.
A winner begins with an end in mind.
A loser goes forth as if she's blind.
A winner has values beyond which she won't go.
A loser has values as malleable as dough.
A winner sees to it that everyone wins.
A loser causes failure, as she looks on and grins.
A winner acts like a winner and acts like she knew
That if she looked in the mirror, she'd see the reflection of you.
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- What winning characteristics can you identify with?
- What losing characteristics can you identify with?
- Which of your characteristics would you like to change?

Two Little Boys...
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?"
"Eight," the boy replied.
The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"
The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you
would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either one."

Helpful Hints
Think of this as "Public Service Sunday"
I was looking though some old archived information that I had and I came across these hints. Some of these are quite informative. Ladies, these are mostly for you, however, there are a few that could have some interest for men, especially the reheating of pizza.
Subject: Great Tips for everyone! Very helpful GREAT TIPS: PLEASE BE SURE YOU READ THE LAST ONE ABOUT THE CLOTHES DRYER!!!!!! Here we
thought we knew it all!
- Reheat Pizza - Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
- Easy Deviled Eggs - Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
- Expanding Frosting - When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
- Reheating refrigerated bread to warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
- Newspaper keeps weeds away. - Start putting wet newspapers in your plants. Work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, then put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
- Broken Glass - Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
- No More Mosquitoes - Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
- Squirrel Away! - To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.
- Flexible vacuum hose to get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
- Reducing Static Cling - Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- ta da! -- static is gone.
- Measuring Cups - Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
- Foggy Windshield? - Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
- Reopening envelope. - If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily
- Conditioner - Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...
- Goodbye Fruit Flies - To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
- Get Rid of Ants - Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home" can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
- INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS - The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free - that nice fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire & potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?! Learn something new every day! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, I thought I'd share! Note: I went to my dryer & tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water & a nylon brush & I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran right thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about! PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S HOME, BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

After much thoughtful review of your comments I have decided to make a change to my “CAVES” analysis (Cathartic, Altruistic, Validation, Earnings & Strength.) I have reworded the entire process. Here is what I have come up with:
- Cathartic – I have changed this to Therapeutic, which is really more descriptive in why we want to share experiences.
- Altruism – Stays the same. A way to disseminate valuable information (valuable in the mind of the blogger. Whether it is actually valuable has no real bearing for this discussion) that you want to be put out their; truly giving.
- Validation – Stays the same. To feel valued as a person, or feel that his or her ideas, opinions or creativity are worthwhile.
- Earnings – I have changed this to Money. (Again, whether blogging actually can make money has no bearing on this conversation.)
- Strength – I have changed this to Improvement. What I mean by this is a channel by which we can effect change.
- Communication – New addition. Some of us what to be able to communicate with family and friends based on your circumstance, communicate with like minded people.
- Enjoyment – New addition. Let’s face it, some of find the process to be fun.
- Enlightenment – New addition. Some of us are looking for growth, looking to learn and, yes, become enlightened. If you are providing enlightenment then Improvement is your focus.
So the new formula will be known as
Therapeutic
Improvement
Money
Enjoyment
Communication
Altruism
Validation
Enlightenment
Again, for the sake of this discussion let’s use the following scale:
0 = Absolute no
10 = Absolute yes
Using the TIMECAVE analysis I will rework my original quotient.
T – 3
I – 8
M – 3
Enj – 9
C – 2
A – 4
V – 6
Enl – 2
I believe that this analysis better address the varying needs of why a blogger blogs. I know that it better enables me to come to grips with why I blog. For me the rewording of Strength to Improvement better describes what I am doing. It allowed me to reduce my Altruism factor in order to make it more realistic.
I would love to get further feedback. I grow with every discussion. Maybe I should increase my Enlightenment factor?

STUPID can be Terminal
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID
These people prove that STUPID can be a terminal condition. As always, the competition this year for the "Most Stupid" award has been keen, and the winners are . . .
8th Place
In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.
7th Place
A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who 'totally zoned when he ran, accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.
6th Place
While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.
5th Place
Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.
4th Place
Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with 4 bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.
3rd Place
After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.
HONORABLE MENTION
Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. so they lit a quarter stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed.
RUNNER UP
Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable, lay near by. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and the tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.
AND THE WINNER IS . . .
Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves . . . 'Shit happens!'
Just in case you think I'm kidding, take a look at this:

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #30 "Foundation” – Male & Female versions)
(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
Foundation
Your foundation is near completion now.
Your attitude's in place.
Your confidence is growing strong,
As you increase your power-base.
Your past is just a memory;
A name without a face.
Never again will you ever run
In a rigged and futile race.
As you leave an era of your life,
You do so without disgrace.
Your future is awaiting you.
Your obstacles you will erase.
As you move towards your destiny,
With opportunities as vast as space,
You'll soar and swoop and live your dreams;
Your life, you'll now embrace.
- What is your destiny? (Keep it positive!)
- What was your destiny?

Everyone who has read my blog knows that I post at least once a day. Because I feel that my last post "Why do you Blog?" is so important and has received so much attention, I will not be posting anything new for another day or two. I am looking for as much feedback as I can get on "Why do you Blog?". If you have not yet commented on "Why do you Blog?" please do so.

Why do you Blog?
Warning! This post will ask some tough questions and you may be a little uncomfortable with your answers.
As with many of my posts my wife is my inspiration. This time she asked if my blog was taking away from "real life." After my initial reaction of being defensive (some old habits are hard to break), I began to think of it in a more useful way. When I come home from a business trip I have a tendency to go to my blog as quickly as I can. It's like I have missed an old friend that I can't wait to get reacquainted with. Like everything in life, blogging is a compromise. Am I putting too much importance into blogging and letting some more important things go unattended? (A question to myself.) So, I decided to open this up for discussion. It may help me in getting down to my root need (yes, I did say "need") to blog. It may also help you, not that you need help.
I would welcome an open discussion on this topic. I personally think that it totally depends on the individual. I have identified the following five reasons that people blog:
- Cathartic - the need to share experiences.
- Altruistic - a way to disseminate valuable information (valuable in the mind of the blogger. Whether it is actually valuable has no real bearing for this discussion) that needs to be put out their.
- Validation – I have changed my definition from “
Blogging is their life; without it they would not have a way to validate themselves”to “to feel valued as a person, or feel that his or her ideas, opinions or creativity are worthwhile.” My first stab at validation was, according to Baba Doodlius, “way over the top,” for which I have to agree. - Earnings – A way to make money. (Again, whether blogging actually can make money has no bearing on this conversation.)
- Strength – Blogging gives all types of people: strong, weak, extroverts, introverts, etc. a voice by which they can possibly effect change. This may be closely aligned with Altruism and Validation; however, I feel that it needs a category by itself.
For the sake of this post let's consider the five reasons noted above as the five prime reasons; kind of like prime colors. And for the sake of this conversation we'll say that we all live in blogging CAVES (Cathartic, Altruistic, Validation, Earnings & Strength) of our own design. I believe that we all have some aspect of each reason, just in different proportions.
Again, for the sake of this discussion let’s use the following scale:
0 = Absolute no
10 = Absolute yes
Let's all agree that there will be no judging here! There are no right or wrong answers.
I'll talk about me first. At this point I am not trying to make any money. That may change down the road. I'll give myself a 3 on “E”.
I have a life outside of blogging but I do use blogging to validate myself (especially when I get some of those wonderful comments.)
However, blogging is becoming a significant part of my life. I'll give myself a 6 on “V”.
I honestly feel that I am disseminating some very useful information that will have a positive effect on the world. I'll give myself a 9 on “A”.
I feel that being cathartic has very little to do with my blogging,
although, the act of sharing my ideas and experiences does feel good. I'll give myself a 3 on “C”.
As far as the category of strength goes, I feel that I can effect change with what I say and it definitely gives me a feeling of power. I put humor in this category; the power to make people laugh. Humor also falls into the “A” category as well. I will give myself an 8 on “S”
Let's see now, that puts me at:
C – 3
A – 9
V – 6
E – 3
S - 8
Let's also keep in mind that this could change tomorrow, or even in 5 minutes from now.
You know, it's funny how something that seems so complex can seem so clear once it is broken down into its component parts. We just have to be honest with ourselves.
Please, I invite comments on this. I do not believe that I have a fragile ego......anyway, if I do not like your comment I can reject it. Actually, to date, I have rejected only one comment and that was challenge that was too absurd to even respond to.
Why do you blog?
I wish I was computer literate enough to create a fancy widget that could be used to better illustrate this and maybe even be used by bloggers on their sites. If anyone has the knowledge to put such a widget together I would be more than happy to share the authorship.
