Association and success
By acca | May 3, 2008
Another part about association and success from “How to Get on in the World A Ladder to Practical Success” book by Major A.R. Calhoon.
The old proverb, “Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are,” is as true to-day as when first uttered. In the preparation for success, association is one of the most powerful factors, so powerful, indeed, that if the associations are not of the right kind, failure is inevitable.
As one diseased sheep may contaminate a flock, so one evil associate– particularly if he be daring, may seriously injure the morals of many. Every young man can recall the evil influence of one bad boy on a whole school, but he cannot so readily point to the schoolmate, whose example and influence were for good; because goodness, though more potent, never makes itself so conspicuous as vice.
Criminals, preparing for the scaffold, have confessed that their entrance into a life of crime began in early youth, when the
audacity of some unprincipled associate tempted them from the ways of innocence. Through all the years of life, even to old age, the life and character are influenced by association. If this be true in the case of the more mature and experienced, its force is intensified where the young, imaginative and susceptible, are concerned.
Man is said to be “an imitative animal.” This is certainly true as to early education, and the tendency to imitate remains to a greater or less extent throughout life. Imitation is responsible for all the queer changes of fashion; and the desire to be “in the swim,” as it is called, is entirely due to association.
In school days, the influence of a good home may counteract the effect of evil associates, whom the boy meets occasionally, but when the boy has grown to manhood, and finds himself battling with the world, Read the rest of this entry »

Character and success
By acca | April 23, 2008
We can learn a lot from old books espetially wroten by successful people. Here is part about character and success from “How to Get on in the World A Ladder to Practical Success” book by Major A.R. Calhoon.
That “Heaven helps those who help themselves,” is a maxim as true as it is ancient. The great and indispensable help to success is character.
Character is crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment
and education; but these apart, if every man were not to a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, an irresponsible creature of circumstances, which, even the skeptic must confess he is not. So long as a man has the power to change one habit, good or bad, for another, so long he is responsible for his own character, and this responsibility continues with life and reason.
A man may be a graduate of the greatest university, and even a great genius, and yet be a most despicable character. Neither Peter Cooper, George Peabody nor Andrew Carnegie had the advantage of a college education, yet character made them the world’s benefactors and more honored than princes.
“You insist,” wrote Perthes to a friend, “on respect for learned men. I say, Amen! But at the same time, don’t forget that largeness of mind, depth of thought, appreciation of the lofty, experience of the world, delicacy of manner, tact and energy in action, love of truth, honesty, and amiability–that all these may be wanting in a man who may yet be very learned.”
When someone in Sir Walter Scott’s hearing made a remark as to the value of literary talents and accomplishments, as if they were above all things to be esteemed and honored, Read the rest of this entry »

Sahar and Bobby Hashemi, British sister and brother, Iranian background, followed their dream into entrepreneurship. They had successful jobs, Sahar was layer and Bobby was investment banker in USA. They described their entrepreneur steps in”Anyone can do it” book. All their fears, enthusiasm, and all.

One of the first rule we can find in this book, is “You can not be an entrepreneur with half of work”. They don’t believe in part time entrepreneurship. You have to be into it, full time, full mind.

Ana Ivanovic have AdSense account
By acca | February 1, 2008
The other day, on I watched some short interview with Ana Ivanovic on EuroSport. She said that she have weblog on her website and she updates it regularly by herself. I decided to go to Ana’s blog and read some posts, but I forgot that until yesterday. So, yesterday, I went to Ana’s website AnaIvanovic.com to take a look at her blog. Blog is OK, Ana writes posts almost everyday, but I noticed something I didn’t expect there. On Ana Ivanovic official website, there are Google AdSense ads. It’s 468×60 ad box, image, fit right into template. But Ana what Ana can earn with Adsense is almost nothing in compare she earns by tennis. At the other hand, I am shore she could earn lot more with direct selling advertising space on her official website and blog. I am a little confused. Although, maybe it’s some deal with webmaster, maybe it’s his Adsense code on Ana Ivanovic website? Who knows? And it was interesting, while I was on Ana’s website and her blog, I opened several pages and in 80% of cases ad was for some Power Point Templates. Nider one for tennis related websites.
