The DNA of Top Achievers

Of course by now we are all becoming aware of DNA. It is the source code that determines who we are. When we look at DNA we can see what a person will look like, what diseases they may come down with, etc. This has been a tremendous breakthrough for scientists and will continue to be so for some time, I think.

This got me to thinking about what makes up those who are top achievers. Is there a “DNA” to them? Obviously, all top achievers wouldn’t have the same literal DNA but what about a figurative DNA? Is there a common “gene” that they all have? Are there common “genes” perhaps? I think so!

If we could get right down to it, I think these are the genes we would find in the DNA of top achievers:

A predisposition to setting high, lofty goals. Top achievers are people who won’t and can’t settle for the status quo. They see average as a place they want to keep in the rear-view mirror. Instead, they continually look for ways to stretch themselves, to get better, to do better, to be better! They set their sights on goals that others have never even thought of. They want to shoot so high that even if they miss, they go higher than everyone else. This is what makes them top achievers.

An ability to focus intently upon reaching their desired destination. Many people can set high goals, but just as many people get sidetracked by one thing or another on their way to those goals. High, lofty goals usually take a while to get there so there will always be plenty of time to be tempted to stray away from the road that is taking you to those goals. Often, those things that sidetrack people are good things, but not the best things. Top achievers do not get sidetracked. They stay focused. They know where they are going. They have an ability to say “no” to the good things in order to get to the best things.

The willingness to personally sacrifice in order to get to their goal. When the going gets tough, many people quit. When the going get tough personally, most people quit. When the going gets tough for top achievers, they remind themselves of the high. lofty goals they have set for themselves. They remind themselves of what an accomplishment it will be for them and that the reward is worth pushing through the momentary trials. They are willing to sacrifice personally in the short-term in order to get the reward and the prize long-term. Keeping their eyes on the big picture enables them to persevere through any personal pain they may experience.

A predisposition to tenacity. Tenacity is the ability to “keep on going.” Tough times? Keep on going! Financial troubles? Keep on going! People are suspect? Keep on going! You look like a dreamer? Keep on going! Tired? Keep on going! Want to quit and take it easy? Keep on going! Just remember this: Keep on going! The prize is ahead! Many people quit just before they were to get the reward, so keep on going!

The ability to see available resources and to use them accordingly. Those who are top achievers know that they cannot be lone-rangers on the way to the top. No one makes it by himself or herself. Top achievers recognize their weaknesses – the weaknesses that if they don’t cover will keep them from becoming a top achiever! They see their resources and they work to get them into a helping position so they can continue the route to becoming a top achiever. And they don’t use them, they utilize them. There is a big difference! People, finances, etc are all brought in to help by the top achiever.

A desire to help others achieve more for themselves as well. The top achiever knows that they can make a difference for others by becoming a top achiever. They know that the wealth they make can feed the hungry. They know that the position of influence they achieve can open a door for someone who may not normally get a chance. True top achievers look at how they can bring many with them, not how they can leave many in the dust. People are helped by the top achiever, not trampled upon!

I think if we could get to the DNA of top achievers, the things we talked about above would be at the core and fiber of their beings. What about you? Did you recognize yourself at all? I hope so! The good news about the DNA we are talking about today as opposed to real DNA is that you can go out and work on top achiever DNA whereas you are stuck with real DNA. So if you lack a little in the above-mentioned areas, take heart – you can get better and work on them so that you can become a top achiever!

Go get ‘em, tiger!

My Fab Life in the Great City of London Last Summer

It seems to be that any time I browse through a London mag I see an advert for the most current club in the city, or the latest theatre production. London is full of life, the folk here are astonishing, the disco scene is hardcore and the shops are heaving with people spending their hard earned money. Make sure you try Tarot Readings from Anne Jirsch or learn to do it yourself online.

When I first arrived in this city, the first thing I did was head down to Bond Street and pick myself up a top for going out. The second thing I did was put on my new outfit that I bought and head out to Islington to dance till the early hours. This cycle of buying clothes and dancing seems to be adopted by the majority of 30 year old men and women. The nicest thing about the city is its vast amount of sex shops where you can get a decent Penis Pump. Find a hypnotherapist in London and make the change today.

I am additionally stunned at the options that are on offer in this place, I recently went to see a psychic who regressed me back to a past time; of course I was a scientist. Strange but real apparently, and I am forever interested on how many successful males and females have their very own personal trainers and life management coaches. These girls and guys are forever running all over the place achieving and making hoards of money, wonder if life management coaching will be ideal for me. And lets not forget Soho and all the sex shops, you will forever happen upon an obscene looking butt plug in the window displays.

While the World is on Fire – Part Two

Luke 19:49-19:46
This world is a tender box, of political, industrial and religious, differences. What is making the world that we call home, so violent? Religion is the biggest fuel to the coming fire than any other source. More people are dyeing today in the name of religion than at any other time in history. Suicide bombers, arson-est and snipers, to kill mame and destroy. All this in the name of religion. These are some of the causes, now here is the effect, in our coming future, what will you be doing while The world is on Fire?

Luke 19:49, Jesus said, I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it already be kindled? There’s a fire coming and you may be part of it. The Lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, an at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the un-believers. Luke 19:46. Can you afford to set back and think that every thing will be OK., that you’ll be all-right, Cant you smell the smoke before the fire? Are you going to be among them that don’t believe are you in that number that Jesus talked about are you the lost one that he’s still looking for to save, well are you?

Ask yourself, will I be setting around, lost, when Jesus breaks the eastern sky and takes his children Home, will you say, Jesus, I never had the time to pray. The Bible states that you will, cry out to the rocks and mountains to fall on you to hide you from the face of the Lamb and from the wrath of God. Look at Revelations 16:8, And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire, and men were scorched with great heat. It doesn’t say heat, it says, GREAT HEAT. This is part of the beginning of righteous Judgments of God upon the wicked and evil men upon the earth.

Can you hide, can you run, can you survive? This is not a question to answer, but to avoid. Today its pretty outside, blue sky, gentile wind, the blue jays and blue birds are eating of the feed that I’ve left out for them . The sweet songs of the season are all around, I’ve put my babes to bed and life is good, the world is at peace. Whats that noise? This is what people will say the day the earth catches fire, this is the time of great deception, when Satan will tell the world that every thing is fine. One moment you’ll be basking in the peace of a cool fall or summer day and then, fire and smoke, mingled with blood surrounds you.

Rev 16:15, Behold, I come as a thief. Screaming, wailing and gnashing of teeth. You look around and huddle with fear, not caring any more for the money you used to take so highly, or the home, in flames, that you worked on Sundays not listening to the songs coming from the church, just down the street, the beautiful trees you planted all now ablaze going up with your home. Knowing in your heart, the position with the church as a decon, that you held with growing pride, was just a lie, something to make you look good, knowing that you were just fooling yourself, its all over in a heartbeat. Then you think, Ill run to the sea, it will be safe there, There’s nothing there to burn, the water will cool my blisters that cover my flesh, thats what Ill do.

Revelations 16:3. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and it became as the blood of a dead man, and every living soul died in the sea. What then, where will you run, the mountains and islands are moved out of their place the grass is even on fire and the sea has turned to blood, what now, where to go, God help us all. You say, why are you telling us these things, why cant you say things that are nice to here?

Look at Jude 22 and 23. And of some have compassion, making a difference, and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Pulling them out of the fire, pulling you, out of the fire, thats our goal. Were coming down to the wire, You are just a heart beat away from judgement. Don’t wait to be put into the hands of the Living God, bent upon wrath and judgement. Don’t let today slip away and here again the question, What will you be doing, While The World is on Fire.

DNA Therapy Treatments Now Underway Could Fight Mesothelioma

DNA therapy is a new way of soothing ailments including carcinomas, made up of malignant mesothelioma. It can be defined as the healing which utilizes genetic materials or DNA that does send a protein in the cell or interfere with the blend of protein in a cell in order to care for a disease. Genes are basic biological items of heredity. They are sub-parts of DNA which contains the instruction for manufacturing enzymes. These genetic materials are sited in the genes in the basis of the bacterium. Pertaining to the Human Genome Project most of the DNA in homosapiens have been charted. Man have approximately thirty-thousand and forty-thousand DNA strands. At the point these DNA are adjusted either by transformation or by removing, it might function unusually finalizing in cancers.

Studies are being done to utilize genetic therapy to attempt to cure carcinomas likes mesothelioma cancer. Genetic therapy targets either enhancing the capability of the cells in good health to engage the cancer cells or simply kill the carcinomas or stunt their growth. Right now RNA therapy is just being clinically tested and currently it cant be tried for caring for sicknesses including cancer. It could take many years to realize if it does have a vital function in the curing of cancer.

In RNA therapy genetic materials are implanted in to the cells that are targeted. The majority of the clinical experiments are performed using protein 53. This gene is given the title of the Tumor suppressor gene. If this genetic material malfunctions, it could end in many different types of carcinoma like colon cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal carcinoma,, lung cancer, etc. In genetic therapy, this DNA and other needed DNA are introduced in to the selected cells to stop the growth of carcinoma.

The genes is normally incorporated to the persons cells by these methods: Microinjection of chromosomes into the cells and electropermeabilization. DNA carriers are given the title of a vector. The vector in the majority of the cases is a bug. These bugs are altered so that they do not produce any sickness in the patient and hence cannot do harm. The change also makes the virus to find the selected cells. The vectors are picked by the exact characteristics and requirements like how good they transfer DNA to the cells they recognize and are able to infect, and whether they change the cells genes forever or briefly.

Professional Writers Will Wean, Wither and Wilt

Professional freelance writers who write public relations articles, magazine articles, and trade journal articles are a dying breed. Recently one public relations writer and well-known screenplay writer wrote a slamming and scathing article about online article submission sites and how amateur authors like me are hurting the professional freelance writers from making money.

Well, that is show business isn’t it? Deal with it, that is supply and demand and I am allowed to produce as much as I want for whatever price I wish to sell my work. As an amateur hobbyist, I have written 7000 articles and put them online. Half of them are not very good, 25% or passable and 15% are good and 10% are excellent and my price is FREE. You could say I am the real FREE-Lance writer, as my name is Lance and I charge nothing for my work as I am retired now.

But this poses a slight dilemma now as I have taken what was a fad and increased it into a trend and many other online article writers who are purely amateurs now feel empowered to write more articles and share their information with the world on the greatest information and communication device ever created; the Internet.

Professional Writers are worried because they cannot compete for free and believe they cannot sell their writing for enough money? Tough luck, because that is business and this is all about supply and demand. If you cannot compete, because your articles are too flowery, written over the average readers head or you will not lower your ego to match the new market place price; well then eat my dust!

Incidentally I did write an article (1 of the 7000) on paper plates and plastic forks for the paper and plastic industry, if you need help in consuming the granular of sand?

Stop Your House Price from Dropping

The forecast for the next few years is a little dreary if you’re a property owner – falling house prices are making numerous people worry. Some property owners will actually experience negative equity shortly, if not already. However, there are methods to fend off this issue. Namely, to add value to your home. How to do that? By making home improvements. Do It Yourself / home improvements can add far greater value to your home than the actual cost of those improvements.

So where to begin? A good place to begin is to think about the rooms in your house that you use the least. Maybe it’s a spare bedroom or adjoining garage. Knocking down a wall can transform such a rarely used room into a kitchen or living room extension which can bring a great deal of value to your property. Also take into account plumbing and electrics. Dimmer switches can transform ugly bright rooms into cosy, warm rooms just via a dimmer dial – it’s just a dimmer switch, but showing such a pleasant ambience in your home makes the prospective home buyer feel more relaxed! Maybe your home doesn’t have a downstairs lavatory? Then get one put in where your utility room is – again this can add a great deal of value to your home.

Possibly your 4 bedroomed house could be changed to 3 bedroom by ripping a wall down, and creating a much larger room. This may sound a little odd, but in reality bigger rooms will give you a higher sale value, and quite often people use a 4th bedroom strictly as a spare room (meaning it’s not really used or important) .

Next up is the garden. Have you got a garden shed? If not, consider installing one in the garden. Why? Well, here is one place where you can keep all your stuff that’s congesting up your spare bedroom / garage / utility room. Having a shed helps also with the gardening, and enthusiastic gardeners (read: your potential house buyer) like a shed in their garden. And get into gardening yourself! If your garden’s been forgotten about, then cut the grass, plant some flowers, cut the garden edges. Also consider installing decking. Just providing a beverage to a prospective buyer out in your lovely garden can really help sell the place – viewers feel comfortable in such an environment – so your garden is very important to help raise the price of your property and help sell your home.

Where can you get advice? Take a look online. A home and garden directory like homeandgardenlistings.co.uk has all kinds of home and garden websites listed there : including a directory of bathroom fitters, directory of builders, directory of painters and decorators, directory of garden furniture suppliers, directory of bedroom furniture and beds suppliers etc.

These are just some fundamental tips on raising the value of your home in these tough times, but hopefully this will get you thinking!

Repurposing Content

Today’s phrase that pays is “repurposing content.” That means taking intellectual property you have created and using it in another way. For example, turning a book into an audio program, or excerpting parts of the book into articles.

Repurposing content can help you reach a brand new audience with your ideas. One advantage of transferring your existing information into new formats is that you can meet the needs of people with different learning styles. This can help you to reach a larger audience with your message, as well as increasing your profits.

Here are some examples of how you can reuse your content:

  • Workshops can be recorded to audio or video. They can be transcribed and turned into articles, booklets and books. If the workshop includes a PowerPoint presentation or other visuals, the presentation can be made available on CD.
  • Books can be excerpted into articles and booklets. Articles may be sold, or offered freely to get more exposure for you and your products. Books can be read to audio and sold on CD or as an online download. Better yet, adapt the content into a new audio program, not simply a reading of the book.
  • Articles and booklets can be combined to create a book. Or put several articles together in a PDF and offer it as an ebook.
  • If you have a large collection of articles, audio, etc., consider setting up a membership Web site. Charge subscribers a fee to access existing and new content.
  • Modify content to appeal to a new audience. Do you have products you created for insurance sales people? Could they be modified to serve Realtors?

This barely scratches the surface of the ways you can use and reuse your content for promotion and profit. Use your imagination and creativity to find new ideas.

Compare Treadmills & Read All Treadmill Reviews Before Buying One

Compare treadmills and their features before making a decision. The number of features plus the fact that the prices of treadmills can range from about $500 all the way to $10,000 means that you must compare treadmills as much as possible.

Some lower priced treadmills can actually have a better treadmill rating than some that cost thousands of dollars more. There are many things to consider before you buy any treadmill.

Here are just a few different points to take into account when making a treadmill comparison:

Compare treadmills tip #1: Determine how much you are will to spend before you go shopping.

As mentioned above, the cost of a treadmill can vary greatly. This is truly a case of you get what you paid for. You’ll find this true with any treadmill reviews you can find.

The cheaper treadmills simply aren’t built to last.

On the other hand you don’t have to rush out and do a treadmill comparison of only the most expensive treadmills. After all, in a lot of cases you’re only paying for the fancy add-ons and other gadgets.

Compare treadmills tip #2: Check around. Don’t go to one location and buy right away. Compare treadmills at all of your local treadmill stores.

Possibly the most overlooked place to purchase a treadmill is online. Online exercise equipment stores offer many more advantages over regular stores. Check as many of them out as well.

When searching online try to locate some good exercise equipment reviews that will help you narrow down your search.

Compare treadmills #3: What will you use it for? Before making any treadmill comparison you need to determine exactly what you will use it for. Will you be doing a casual walk now and then? Will you use it for a light jog each day? Or will you use it for intense running?

The more you intend to use it, the more money you will have to pay. Most treadmills under $2000 cannot handle daily running.

Compare treadmills tip #4: How much space do you have set aside in your home for your treadmill?

This is one area that a lot of consumers overlook. Just where will you put that treadmill once you get it? Also, you will have to leave approximately 2 extra feet of space on all sides of it.

If you are using your treadmill to run on or are a tall person, you will need a treadmill with a longer belt (the surface you run on). Running requires a longer stride so keep this in mind.

Compare treadmills tip #5: Test before you buy. Regardless if a treadmill rating is high on certain models and not on others, test for yourself. Even if one model gets good treadmill reviews online, you still have to test it if at all possible.

Most treadmills sold online will also be sold at exercise equipment stores. You have to determine if it will work for your unique situation regardless of what the online treadmill reviews say.

Compare treadmills tip #6: Performance. When you test out any treadmill make sure you take note of how smooth it runs and how quiet it is. Treadmills with cheaper parts (but a high price tag) tend to make a lot of noise and vibrate somewhat.

Compare treadmills tip #7: Warranty concerns. Check out the warranty in great detail. All manufactures are different. Most are quite different when it comes to the motor, the belt (the belt you run on), the frame and various options.

A lot of the cheaper treadmills only offer a year or less on the belt. If the belt breaks after that, you can expect to pay an additional $500 or much more for a replacement.

Compare treadmills tip #8: What safety features should you look for? Probably the biggest one is an emergency stop button. This is very helpful in case you slip and fall off the treadmill. You also have to determine if it will support your body weight.

Some treadmills don’t support as much as you think. The last thing you want to have happen is for the treadmill frame to break when you have it on an incline or are running. You could get seriously injured.

Compare treadmills tip #9: What top speed will you need. Most treadmills have different sized motors and therefore will run at different speeds. Make sure it can handle the speed you want to run at.

So there are just a few points to keep in mind when buying a treadmill. It is a big financial decision, so do your homework ahead of time. Read as many treadmill reviews or treadmill ratings as you can find.
