no dear lady most folks in business are ruled by greed, or if not outright
greed, the "bottom line" I.E. making a profit, and almost all of these "get
it here" things may have some... some value, but feed on folks that have no
hope and no self esteem and get deceived into thinking they can buy it, its
not a false thing, its stuff they could build and research themselves if
they got on the hump and did so.

its the same for these grants books, most of them talk big, have a selective
reality to them, and could have been researched by those paying outrageous
sums for them for free, if they had bothered.

same songs second verse!

I have my hope and my willpower intact so don't fall for these things.

>> I think everyone would agree that a hopeful attitude is a good thing. But

>> But what exactly is hope? Well, according to Dr. Rick Snyder while at the

>> stance people assume in the face of difficulty. It combines a
>> goal-directed determination with the ability to generate the means of
>> reaching the goals.
>>
>> Dr. Snyder developed a test to measure hopefulness, and he found that
>> college students who scored high in hope also turn in the best academic
>> performance, regardless of high school grades or SAT scores. Folks who
>> are

>> Christopher Reeve had every intention of walking again, and had he lived,

>> The research also suggested that - all other things being equal - a
>> hopeful attitude helps people overcome obstacles like poverty, lack of

>> Can you learn to be hopeful? You bet you can! See failure as an
>> opportunity to learn rather than a flaw in your character, and make a
>> habit of remembering your past successes. Break down your long-term goals
>> into short-term sub-goals, and reward yourself for reaching them.
>> Visualize a positive outcome for every situation, affirm yourself for all
>> your good qualities, and no matter what happens, hang on to your hope.
