Let Determination Drive You

Determination is a big key to achieving your goals. A determined person will do more with a pen and paper, than a lazy person will accomplish with a personal computer. It is the size of one's will which determines success.

People with a strong will power will always have the bigger picture in mind. They will be able to forgo small pleasures in order to help attain bigger goals. You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction.

We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history. PERSIST. Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things.

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.

Take Chances In Life

(The Wrap-Up Magazine) Just as a learning process through life, its okay to take ricks and chances. If you want a better life, start taking chances now! I’m not saying you should mortgage your house and go play high limit craps at the casino. In this world we have to take chances, sometimes they're worth it and sometimes they're not, but I'm telling you now, you will never know until you try.

It is absolutely necessary to take chances to achieve greatness. The benefits of taking risks will enrich your life in the long run. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance. Can taking risks in life make you happier and more successful? Yes!

Be About Your Money

This is more support for inspiring artist trying to get noticed. Visualize the rings of the aura surrounding you, increasing and increasing now. Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely. The people who have great financial wealth usually have a cause for it, appreciate it, value it, study it, put focused to make it.

You also get paid to make appearances. Many of them won their medals in an era when success didn't go hand-in hand. You are better off in life earning your own money. It’s pointless to set goals if you are not going to try to hit them. Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

You can’t always visualize the reward, but you can believe in the sacrifice if the vision is strong enough. At least eighty percent of millionaires are self-made. That is, they started with nothing but ambition and energy, the same way most of us start.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate. The difference between succeeding and failing is consistency. Predicting the future with any degree of Certainty is impossible. The key is to react accordingly to any situation as it arises.

Stand Out From The Rest

All of us have competitors, whether it's someone who is pumping out a similar product, or someone who wants to snag our top job candidate. Whatever the competition, we want to win. Be known in the marketplace as the company with the fun group of professionals who are not only intelligent and hardworking, but who are nice and empathetic.

Find opportunity where competition fell short. If prospective clients share how they've been burned in the past, show proof of how your company excelled. Make your company a one-stop shop for customers. For instance, if customers use your product or service as one part of a larger process, consider offering those other points of that process.

Be selfless and offer expert knowledge and suggestions. Building rapport early is key to not only facilitating communication, but building a credible reputation. Deflecting that sale and giving up half a million dollars may seem crazy now, but circumstances can change and they could be a $50 million client five years down the road because of that built trust.

Picture being in their shoes and develop a sense of empathy. Would you want to receive three calls from the same person in one week? Or would a hand-written letter make more of an impact? Being respectful of a person's time and treating them like an actual human rather than a sale can go a long way.

Have good posture. Experts say that first impressions are based on 60 per cent non-verbal communication and 40 per cent verbal. Whether you want to stand out at an interview or get noticed by a member of the opposite sex, just hear me out and follow the directions.

In It To Win It

No matter what it is you are doing in life, be in it to win it. You don't have to be a genius to sound like one or look like. Truly believe that you have so many different characters. Never let the competition define you. Instead, you have to define yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them. History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength of character, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinal fortitude. They are mandatory for anyone who wants to get to and stay at the top. Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

That's what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.

Nicki Minaj’s Brother Indicted

A grand jury has indicted Jaleni Maraj for raping a 12-year-old girl.

He had been arrested for the alleged crime in December and was released the same day on $100,000 bail, which was reportedly put forth by Minaj.

A grand jury had been deliberating the accusations made against Maraj for about a month before making the decision to indict him on April 4. The indictment means Maraj has officially been charged with felony predatory assault against a child, felony sexual conduct against a child under age 13, sexual conduct against a child, and endangering the welfare of a child.

If convicted solely on the charge of felony predatory assault against a child, Maraj will face upwards of 15 years in prison as well as the possibility of a life sentence.
