**Alert!**Game changer for word-user brains Game changer for word-user brains? What am I talking about? Talking about quotes. Yup, quotes. All over the world, word-users are banging on about stories, only because stories endlessly repeated sell, sell, and sell again — provided they’re endlessly repeated. But no-one bangs on that in stories you cannot tell the difference between a lie and what genuinely happened. Lie? True? Children and adults alike have changed their views on

Wanna know the secret to having all I want? Many word-users believe they need somebody else, something else, or more of what’s already there — unaware that they already have all it takes to have it all. Call it a dream, it doesn’t change anything. As long as it doesn’t occur to them that they must pull rather than push, they’ll never discard the keys to the doors that A) ain’t there and B) open

Unless they are your friends, your prospects don’t know you, let alone your friends. And it’s unlikely they think of their friends as you think of yours. You’re thinking of your friends as in three buckets. Bucket 1: Leaves Your leave-type friends will stick around only when the circumstances are favourable to them, not to you. Some will jump onto new opportunities like fleas jump onto passing dogs. As long as you keep in mind

Keep your word. The best vitamin for making friends that respect you: B1. Take time (for your friends, or time will take your friends away). It takes two to dance (in the long run, dancing alone isn’t fun). Listen (rather than be heard). Understand (rather than be understood). Give (rather than be given).

All of them were great to fabulous. Some even got me to travel to exotic places — Hawaii, Virgin Islands,

“A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” – Richard Bach “A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.” – Thomas Mann “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” – Ernest Hemingway “All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.” – Ernest Hemingway Everything you know is a word.
