* Focus Gets Results
by Sandy Karn

If you are so eager to get results that you try to rush
through things, are you sure you will be that successful?
What if you focused on doing one thing at a time, do you think
it is possible that you would get more done more efficiently?

I think this is worth giving some thought.  How do you get
things done?  Are you disorganized and work harder longer than
most because you don't stay focused?  It's worth thinking
about.

Whatever it takes to stay  focused with your mapped out
priorities, you might be able to create more results if you do
so it's worth a focus to map out a plan to do that.

Wishing You the Very Best!

Humor******
Catholic Men and Women (Joke)

Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee. The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."

The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."

The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal. When he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."

The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope. When he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."

Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well....?"

She proudly replies, "I have a daughter, slim, tall, 38D breast, 24" stomach and 34" hips.

When she walks into a room, people say, "Oh My God."

 Computers and Cars

At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared The computer industry with the auto industry and stated: "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: if GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they painted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to re-install the engine.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.

10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 percent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Dept.

12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine.

 Valuable Book

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody- or-other had printed it.

"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.

"Yes, that was it!"

"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!"

"Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the margins by some clown named Martin Luther."

 Answers to the Quiz

1. Delirious. (wild with excitement, enthusiasm, etc.)

2. H.L. Mencken said, "A cocktail today consists essentially of any hard liquor, any milder diluent and a dash of any pungent flavoring." It is a slang term - reportedly in print by 1806 as 'spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters' - with a lost origin. There are many, many theories about the word's etymology, but none has been agreed upon. It could be a combination of the words cock (perhaps as in 'tap, faucet') and tail, but at this point all agree that the word's origin is really unknown. American initiative and imagination continue to show themselves in the making and naming of cocktails!

Quotable Quotes

What Kind Of Person Would Victimize A Child?

People who sexually abuse suffer from emotional immaturity, low
self-esteem, an inability to see harm in their actions and lack the
knowledge to control their impulses. Often the offenders were
victims of child sexual abuse themselves. Many abusers are not
strangers, they are often people of position or power in our lives,
such as, teachers, doctors, baby-sitters, neighbors, parents, peers,
siblings, relatives and clergy.

How Common Is Child Sexual Abuse?

It has been shown that 3-7% of boys are sexually abused by the time
they reach eighteen and 2-5% of girls, on the whole two out of ten
children are victims of abuse. These averages are of course
conservative since most occurrences are never reported.

* Observing Human Behavior Shows You Better Ways To Live
 by Sandy Karn

I think observing human behavior is a fascinating thing
because that is where a lot of our life's lessons can be
found.  We are such strange creatures sometimes and other
times we are wonderful ones to behold.

In the last couple of years, I have been making a point to pay
attention to other people's behavior and reactions to things.
I have also paid a lot of attention to my own reactions to a
lot of different things and in doing so have made some
decisions how I would like to change some of those reactions.

The key thing here in the observation process is to take
notice of the things you like, don't like, would like to have
more or less of.  Stop long enough in events that are going on
in your life to JUST NOTICE.  If you don't pause, you may be
running through life doing things and putting up with things
you absolutely don't like, but don't stop long enough to
notice that.

Just Notice!  Just Notice!  Life will talk to you and tell you
a lot when you pause long enough to listen.  Pause, listen and
decide what you want and don't want then take action
accordingly.  You CAN make better reactions for you in your
life when you take the time to do it.  There in lies your
Optimal Results.

* Tune into DISC Behavioral Selling Skills
by Sandy Karn

When you tune into DISC Behavioral Selling Skills, you will have a better chance of making more sales because people like to communicate on their terms.  It is your responsibility as the sales person to know the DISC and when to say what to whom according to their DISC behavior.

Your first step is to know yourself and your preferred style.If you are a High D talking to a High D customer, it will probably be easier for you to communicate than it would if you had a High C customer.

Your D customer is looking for Results.  You don´t want to try to overpower them.  They would not respond well to that.Don´t waste your time building a friendship, they are probably not interested unless, of course, they have an equally as High I part to their behavior.

Since you like to close sales fast and your customer, being a High D, doesn´t want all the details, there would be a very good match here.  That helps.  Little energy is lost trying to adapt to your customer.

When you´re talking to that customer who has a dominant style of High C, whether you like it or not, be prepared to share data with them that proves the value of what you are selling.To you, all you think they need to know is that it works. Sorry, Charlie, it doesn´t work that way.  They want proof and you had better be prepared to provide it to them or you very likely will not make that sale.

If you are a High I talking with a High I customer, you will probably both have a good time because you like the interactive sharing.  As a High I, your tendency is to talk too much and even though they are a High I that is not advisable because they are looking for the experience.

If you let them experience things and let them talk more than you, you´ll probably do just fine.

If you are a High S selling to another High S type, it will be a personable experience.  In your attempt to be friendly, make sure you keep building assurances throughout your presentation. Make sure you build a good trust level too before you move too fast in your presentation to close it.They are looking to be secure in their decision.

If you are a High C selling to a High C, it is easier for you to sell to a High C than most people could because both your needs are very similar.  You know a lot of data and they want a lot of data for proof to make the decision.  You will have trouble selling anything below their standards, so I hope you have a good product to sell.

DISC Behavioral Selling Skills are a key to selling-use them.

 Florida

Mr. Peterson, a tourist from Toronto arrived in Florida.

In an airport taxi cab, Peterson asked the driver... "Say, is this really a healthful place?"

"It sure is," the cabby replied. "When I came here I couldn't say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn't have the strength to walk across a room, and I had to be lifted out of bed."

"That's wonderful!" said the tourist , "How long have you been here?"

"I was born here."

 English School

Donald MacDonald from Scotland went to study at an English university and was living in the hall of residence with all the other students there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him (no doubt carrying reinforcements of tatties, salt herring, oatmeal and whisky).

"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.

"Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the other side screams and screams all night."

"Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English neighbors?"

"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes."

Better Communications Give You More Results In Less Time
By Sandy Karn

Everything takes time and if you want to get more done in less time, then the way you communicate and relate to others will be more efficient when you use the DISC in all your communications.

When talking with a High D person, you will want to say less in less time than most people you talk with because they are primarily a task-oriented person and don't like the small talk and moving slowly.

They wanted results yesterday and will be asking those around them why the results aren't happening faster.  They want to get the job done with as few details as possible and will be very glad to move on to something else to get done with success in a short period of time.

Do you know how to talk to the D people?  Be short and sweet and too the point and if they don't have much of an I in their behavioral style, you really don't have to be that sweet about it either.

When you notice a primary characteristic in a person, try to notice what other primary/secondary characteristic surfaces in their behaviors.  Are they friendly and at the same time moving at a faster pace?  If they are, they might be both a High D and a High I.

If they show more Directness with their D than the Interactive with their I, they are probably a D with less I that could still be pretty high.  If so, then make sure you are also friendly with these people.  They are both task-oriented and people-oriented so you will want to accommodate both.

Remember that we are all made up of all the styles, but we each have a different intensity of expression in our D I  S C.

What if you see the High D along with some High S behavior? What would that look like?  This person could have some conflict going on because they really want the results and can cope with conflict because of their D part, but that S part of them would do anything to avoid conflict.

Because they are the achievement type of personality, you want to help them get their results, but if you can help them keep the harmony in their environment, they'll love you for it.

Take a moment with everyone you meet to figure out what is their style, then you can communicate the way they like to communicate and you'll get more results when you do.

Time is Everything
By: Hifzur Rehman

Time is wealth;

Time is health;

Time is power;

Time is strength;

Time is the essence of life;

Time is everything


But time is nothing, without proper planning.

It's just the wastage of time.

And God never forgive those who waste their time.

All influential people,

All important people,

All successful people,

Have one thing in common

They all value their time.
 
For them, Time is everything!
Do you value your time and the time of others?

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second! To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

Third Question:

Very tricky math! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10. What is the total? Scroll down for answer.

Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!

Answers to the Quiz _(\_/)_(\_/)_
1. Economists
2. Rust, Trust and rap- trap
hair, chair and ream - cream 
hut, shut and old - sold
right, bright and ail- bail.
earn, yearn and east, yeast
3. Susan = 20, Mary=39 and Jim =41 years
Solutin: Suppose Susan'age as s and Mary's age as M.
Since Mary is 19 years older M=s+19
One year ago Mary was twice as old as Susan, so we get:
2(S-1) = M -1
2s-2=S+19-1
S=20
M=39
Jim next year would be 2(20+1). That gives his present age
J=41
