I received this from a friend and wanted to share it with you… it could save your life, or at least a buck $.

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself
out of t he coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number
112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and
the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone
from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car
door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding
it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves
someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who
has the other “remote� for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the
trunk).
Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!�

THIRD
Hidden Battery

Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will
show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you
charge your cell next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits
on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service
provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block
your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will
be totally useless. btw here is a free coke rewards code knrxz nzlmh
kj9mv – anyways on to your phone, you probably won’t get your phone back,
but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If
everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile
phones.
And Finally….

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even
more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option,
simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any
charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
This is the kind of information people don’t mind receiving, so pass it
on to your family and friends.

It’s hard to believe it’s that time again. It’s time to enjoy the feast, the game, and the couch… oh and the family too. The traditional meal of course is the Turkey with all the fixings. And quite frankly I can’t wait to dive in and overdo it as I do every year. 

Even though there are only two of us my wife went out and bought a 14 pounder. As I watched her loading the frozen butterball in to the refrigerator it dawned on me that of all the things I have to give thanks for, and there are many, I have never once stopped to thank the poor chubby little turkey who selflessly sacrificed its life for my enjoyment.  So as silly as it sounds I stopped for a moment patted the frozen bird on the back and said simply “thanks for being of service turkey, you’ve achieved your mission and purpose, happy Thanksgiving.”

My wife of course looked at me like I was nuts.

Then I got to thinking that the turkey was very fortunate in the sense that it  had fulfilled its life’s mission… it completed its purpose for being here.  Of course the turkey could have gone on to live an average life of turkey mediocrity and died comfortably of old age and I guess there is something to be said for that. But what of the glory and satisfaction of living and even dying for a more noble cause – a sense of mission and purpose. Perhaps one that serves (no pun intended) others at a higher level?

I thought to myself “we should all be as fortunate in knowing and fulfilling our life’s mission and purpose as that Thanksgiving turkey”.  And finally my thoughts raced to those men and women who are away from their homes this Thanksgiving in service of our freedom. Their sense of purpose which they are willing to sacrifice their lives for is our ability to choose, turkey or ham, god or no god, and to live free, and give thanks.

Thank You!

 

 

During a recent coaching call I was asked by someone who was facing a challenge that would require her to turn what she perceived to be a weakness into a strength. If she was not able to do so, it would likely lead to the inability to achieve her objective. I shared with her a story about a young Judo champion who was able to turn adversity and a perceived weakness into a gold medal strength. And since we are all faced with those challenges from time to time I thought I would share the story with you.

It’s the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.

“Sensei,” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei entered the boy in his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy artfully used his one move to win the match.

Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

“No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

“Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

Today marks the 40th anniversary of man’s landing on the moon.  Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969 — arguably the greatest technological feat of the 20th century.

I was 10 years old at the time but I can still remember watching the black and white images on our one little TV set in the living room.  That lunar landing and the first words to follow “one small step for man- one giant leap for mankind� captivated millions of people around the world and inspired the belief that anything was possible.

What inspires you today?  What marvel of man’s ingenuity, passion, or contribution serves to move you to take or at least consider your own giant leap forward?

Like millions of others you may be answering that question with a great deal of thought only to come up with a big fat question mark and a feeling of disappointment.  It is true that on the surface finding that inspiration can seem like a daunting task with little hope of success.  Whatever struggle is going on in your own life may indeed eclipse the good that is happening all around you – below the surface.

When Buzz and Neil left the moon that day and headed home to earth all they brought back with them was what they could find on the surface – moon dust and rocks.  They didn’t have the equipment, time, or the inclination to go deeper or to look below the surface but rather surmised that it must be more of the same.

You on the other hand have the ability to dig deeper to discover the true treasure around and below you.  If you want to start seeing man’s ingenuity, his ability and desire to create better lives for others, and witness his contribution then you must first be what it is you wish to see.

If you want to be inspired then seek to inspire.

If you want to see man’s contribution then you yourself must begin to contribute.

If you’re looking for help – then start looking for someone you can help.

If you want to take that giant leap in your own life then make it about helping and inspiring others to take the LEAP.

You and I can’t afford to settle for the dust on the surface… our inspiration and perhaps even our lives depend on our desire and ability to dig deeper.

A friend of mine presented me with a news clipping from the Denver Daily News yesterday which had within it a quote from a noted fitness expert regarding the recent study on the collective rise of obesity in America.

He had a pretty good chuckle as he read part of the quote to me, “The best thing people can do to fight obesity is to stay fit.�… no shit, he said.

And indeed it certainly doesn’t take a “expert� to know that.  But here’s the thing – the truth in the simplicity of that statement cannot be denied.  Why should it take volumes of written information and billions of dollars in pharmaceuticals, and medical procedures to put that fact into practice.

Yes, it doesn’t take an expert to know the formula – (more…)

This whole ego business is pretty interesting. On one hand, the ego is often responsible for not allowing us to admit our own limitations and for the cocky arrogance that is the greatest obstacle to our own success.

On the other hand, our ego is responsible for our protection and safety – in doing so it often acts like an overzealous park ranger. It sit’s up in the tower with its binoculars and shouts DANGER–LOOK OUT every time someone lights a match or a little possum pokes its head out of a hole.

The ego is also what’s responsible for our anger and rage. Think about it. The last time you got cut off on the highway or someone wouldn’t let you in the merge lane from the on ramp… “F-U – you freaking son of a bitch!â€�   You got pissed, didn’t you?   WHY?

What threatens your ego? (more…)
