All The World is Mad?

I am a BIG fan of Thrice.

 

 


Thrice is an American rock band
from Irvine, California, formed in 1998.
The group was founded by guitarist/vocalist
Dustin Kensrue and guitarist Teppei Teranishi
while they were in high school


I must of first heard them in 2001 or so and had never heard anything like it. I went out and bought their CD and listened to it over 100 times. I actually had to import it, because no one new who they were. The band has since grow and released many albums. They have traveled the world and have earned the respect of millions. Their newer stuff has become very experimental, they have all grow up a lot. This one song sticks in my mind all the time and I thought I would share the lyrics with you. They are quite hardcore, but I do think this represents our world today. When I look around I see most in pain and very few in absolute luxury, it’s NOT right! I suggest you get the album and take note of the lyrics. Dustin is a genius.


All Whole World Is Mad


We are saints made of plaster, our laughter is canned;
We are demons that hide in the mirror.
But the blood on our hands paints a picture exceedingly clear. 

We are brimming with cumbersome, murderous greed,
And malevolence deep and profound.
We do unspeakable deeds, does our wickedness know any bounds?

Something’s gone terribly wrong with everyone;
All the world is mad.
Darkness brings terrible things; the sun is gone-
What vanity! our sad, wretched fires.

We can’t medicate man to perfection again;
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts.
We can’t educate sin from our souls, it’s been there from the start.

But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits,
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.
But of all our iniquities ignorance may be the worst.

Oh, what little light we have!
It only serves to show
The snares and seeds of wrath
We have already sewn on every path.

Network Marketing – What is it really?

 

Well here it is again 12:15AM and I can not sleep. I really do believe in Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing, whatever you want to call it. Some go as far to say it’s a pyramid scheme, ha ha ha, I would ask them to look at the very same corporation they are working for? Is that not a pyramid scheme to, except, the guy at the top is the only one there! In network marketing you have multiple people at the top…

If you would like to understand how to build a real true ass I suggest you get the book CASHFLOW QUADRANT by Robert Kiyosaki today and read it through! You can get it here –>>https://www.kalahari.net

I found this and thought it was too good not too include.

Network Marketing-It’s an Asset, Not a Job

By Robert Kiyosaki


I am sometimes asked, “Why do so few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?”


The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone-unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon. So why would someone quit short of the top?

Most people join only to make money. If they don’t make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged and quit (and then often bad-mouth the industry!). Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. But joining to make a few quick dollars is not the reason to get into the business.


The Two Essential Reasons to Join a Network Marketing Business

Reason number one is to help yourself. Reason number two is to help others. If you join for only one of these two reasons, then the system will not work for you.

Reason number one, means that you come to the business primarily to change quadrants-to change from the E (Employee) or the S (Self-employed) quadrant to the B (Business owner) or I (Investor) quadrant.

This change is normally very difficult for most people-because of money. The true E or S quadrant person will not work unless it is for money. This is also what causes people to not reach the top of the network marketing system: they want money more than they want to change quadrants.

 


 

 


E and B quadrant or I quadrant person will also work for money, but in a different way. The B quadrant person works to build or create an asset-in this case, a business system. The I quadrant person invests in the asset or the system. The E invest his time into money.

The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants. If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business.

As a B or an I, sometimes you don’t get paid for years; this, a true E quadrant or S quadrant person will not do. It’s not part of their core values. Risk and delayed gratification disturb them emotionally.

Delayed Gratification and Emotional Intelligence

One of the beauties of network marketing is that it focuses on developing your emotional intelligence as well as your business skills.

Emotional intelligence is an entirely different matter from academic intelligence. In general, someone with high emotional intelligence will often do better than someone with high academic intelligence but low emotional intelligence. That explains, in part, why some people do well in school but not so well in the real world.


The ability to delay gratification is a sign of higher emotional intelligence. In a recent study of emotional intelligence, it was found that people who could delay gratification often led more successful lives than those who could not.

This is why the educational system inherent in a good network marketing opportunity is so important. It’s the emotional education or emotional intelligence aspect of their programs that I find so valuable for people.

Many people write me and tell me they loved my book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but I fear that many of them don’t get the most important point of the book: Lesson #1, “The rich don’t work for money.”


Once I have built or bought an asset, that asset works hard to make money for me. But I will not work for money-I will work only to build or buy assets. Those assets make me richer and richer, while I work less and less. That is what the rich do. The poor and middle class work hard for money, and then buy liabilities instead of investing in assets.

What Kind of Asset is a Network Marketing Business?


Remember, there are two reasons required to be successful in network marketing: to help yourself, and to help others. Reason number one means helping yourself get to the B side of the quadrant. What about reason number two

The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you don’t really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S 

quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants. If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business

If you only want to teach yourself to be a B quadrant and I quadrant person, then a true network marketing system won’t work for you. You may as well go to a traditional business school, which focuses only on your becoming a B quadrant person.


The beauty of a network marketing business is that your goal is to create assets, which are other B’s working under you-and their job is to create other B’s working under them. In traditional business, the focus is for the B to have only E’s and S’s working for them.


The type of business I was taught to build is a business with me at the top and E’s and S’s at the base. I really don’t have room at the top for many other B’s, which is why in my businesses, I strongly recommend that all my employees look into network marketing as their own part-time businesses.

The traditional corporate system really is a pyramid, because there are a few B’s and I’s near the top, and more E’s and S’s at the base. A network marketing system is a reverse pyramid: its primary focus is to bring up more and more B’s to the top.


One type of pyramid, the traditional type, has its base on the ground; the other type has its base in the air. It’s a pyramid that pulls you up instead of pushing you down. A network marketing business gives everyone access to what used to be the domain only of the rich.

This passage is excerpted by permission from The Business School for People Who Like Helping People, by Robert T. Kiyosaki, with Sharon Lechter, CPA, authors of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.”

Money as Debt?

I really can’t understand how the world, has got into a situation, where there is more material wealth and production, and yet everyone is in debt to bankers?

With all these bailouts, stimulus packages, and basically debt piled upon debts, is there no limit to how much money can be made? Surely we can not just print money whenever we feel like it?

But wait… problem number two, the bankers themselves are running out of money too right? So we the tax payers have to rescue the bankers, by going even further into debt. ARE WE ALL BLIND, this is a world wide ponzi scheme!

The good news it has to end. And it will. It will be tough, but we can pay back the debt and move into a new era.

Understanding exactly what money is, is very important.

Silver – Up Up and Away

Did YOUR Bank Pay YOU 85% Return on YOUR Money Over the Last Year?


CLICK HERE TO BUY TODAY, IT’S FREE and EASY—->>> http://jaredtalbot.co.uk

 


Well, XAG Members who purchased Silver in April 2010, when we opened, have earned that much!!

In April 2010, Silver was at just over $18 per ounce.
On the weekend Silver topped $38.18 in trade day and today is sitting at over $37.00! This is the highest we have seen and guess what, some expect it to rise signification further, following the wars in the east and inflation, but now while it’s still affordable. We are not some HYPE that will take your money and run!

This is YOUR silver bullion in YOUR hands almost doubling in value in less than one year!


Wake up and see money is an illusion! The rich know it, the Chinese know it, people are buying up all the major REAL commodities right under our noses, while we stock pile thousands in the banks.


That is HUGE!
Gold, between April 2010 and now has given a return of about 23%. (Really unchanged since first few days of December)
Which one do you wish YOU had purchased??
I am glad I have been buying Silver!
In January 2009, Silver was as low as $10.50 per ounce!
2 years – 220% return.
That is what I have earned on the Silver I purchased back then!!

 


Did you also know that these coins are BEAUTIFUL!


With all the uncertainty with the markets and currencies, I am glad I started collecting silver and gold in 2009. As you probably know the US dollar is taking quite a hit as well – I am not a doomsayer but it does not look good. I am South African and I cannot remember a time, since I was a kid that the US dollar was above par with the US greenback for such a long time.

My current silver stock should take me out a couple of weeks at least, but if the prices maintain their current level, I will have to increase my prices again. (Though my price increase is always a good thing for our members!!)

One month ago, I am was able to purchase silver when it was about $28-29 – today it is over $37.
In keeping with my price model – I will having to increase the price $4 over the next week or so if the price remains high. 


My pricing model is always quite consistent (except normally on the low side until I place a new order). If you want to see what the price should be here, you can always add $5 to the spot price and then add the $12 we collect to pay out the affiliate fees and you can see what our approximate Collector membership price should be.

The cost of Marketer and Reseller memberships are not affected by this – they will remain the same. This also does not affect commissions in anyway.

If you are not an upgraded member, or if you are not a collector member – perhaps you should have another look at the beautiful coins we offer!

The time is now to also promote your XAGNetwork business.
The interest in Silver is at an all time high! Send out your referral link to your contacts, place it in some surf sites or send it out through any other advertising you use!
Everyone things gold is the place to be, but there are TWO huge reasons to get into Silver! It is affordable for everyone and as you can see it has been out performing gold by more than double!!

Please let me know if you have any questions – the best way to send those is through a support ticket – email is a little unreliable in this day and age.

Again, I do want to remind members that you need to request the payouts – the script is not setup to send them automatically.

Just so you know, you can also purchase additional coins from your account balance and you can also upgrade from your account balance to save fees. Just purchase or upgrade as normal, but instead of selecting a payment processor, select the From Account Balance option. (sorry you need to have the full amount – the script cannot handle part payment from your balance and part from outside payment)

Have a great and prosperous week!

What Matters?

I first learned it from my grandmother.

Now, my grandmother was a wonderful person.

She is the one who taught me to play the game Monopoly.

She understood that the name of the game is to acquire.

She would accumulate everything she had, and eventually became master of the board.

Then she would always say the same thing to me.

She would look at me and she would say:

“One day, you’ll learn to play the game.”

One summer I played Monopoly almost every day, all day long.

And that summer, I learned to play the game.

I came to understand that the only way to win is to make a ‘total commitment to acquisition’. I came to understand that money and possessions… that’s the way that you keep score. And by the end of that summer, I was more ruthless than my grandmother. I was ready to bend the rules if I had to, to win that game… and I sat down with her that to play that fall. I took everything she had, I watched her give her last dollar and quit in utter defeat… and then she had one more thing to teach me. Then she said: “Now it all goes back in the box… all those houses and hotels. All the railroads and utility companies… all that property and all that wonderful money… now it all goes back in the box.

None of it was really yours.

You got all heated up about it for a while. But, it was around a long time before you sat down at the board, and it will be here a long time after you’re gone – players come – players go. Houses and cars, titles and clothes… even your body.”

Because the fact is that everything I clutch and consume and hoard is going to go back in the box and I’m going to loose it all.

So you have to ask yourself… when you finally get the perfect degree, that ultimate promotion, when you have made the final purchase, when you buy the greatest home, when you have stored up enough financial security, and climbed the ladder of success to the highest point you can possible climb, and the thrill wears off – and it will wear off – Then what? How far do you have to walk along that road before you see where it leads? Surly you understand… it will never be enough.

So you have to ask yourself the question, “what matters?”

I think you and I both know that answer ;)
