HOW BRUCE LEE’S “STOLEN GOAL ACHIEVER DIARY” WAS AUCTIONED JUST BEFORE THE “SOCIALIST” PRESIDENT MET THE “CONSERVATIVE” CHANCELLOR

After attending a goal achiever seminar in 1969, Bruce Lee developed a goal achiever system which he secretly used to become the century’s king of Kung Fu until his untimely death. However, the Bruce Lee Goal Achiever system was stolen and it disappeared from the public for over three decades until a few days ago. When the world media was fascinated by the inauguration of the Socialist President in France my Coach and business partner in the US won an auction of the Original Bruce Lee Goal Achiever Programme. We reveal the secret Bruce Lee used to become the world’s greatest karate king, philosopher and a goal achiever!!!!

1.    “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.”

2.    “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

3.  “The “moment” has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.”

4. “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough: we must do.”

5. “The measure of the moral worth of a man is his happiness. The better the man, the more happiness. Happiness is the synonym of well-being”

6. “Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”

7. “A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at.”

8. “Because one does not want to be disturbed, to be made uncertain, he establishes a pattern of conduct, of thought, a pattern of relationship to man etc. Then he becomes a slave to the patter and takes the pattern to be the real thing.”

9. “Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.”

10. “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”

HOW A PHOTO WHICH DISSAPPEARED 40 YEARS AGO LED TO THE ERECTION OF A WOMAN’S MONUMENT - HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY!!!

2010 was the best year ever as is the year my father (a few months before he died at age 86) gave me a photo of me and my late mother who had died in 1971. The memory of my mother’s funeral a few months after the photo was taken, when I was 6 years, remains vivid 41 years after she passed on. As part of honoring women on women’s day, we erected a monument at the grave of my mother - in a 450 hectare land which was forcefully taken away from our family by the apartheid state in 1971. It is my family’s desire that the government, which has so far failed to return the land back to the rightful owners, can do the honorable thing and returns the land which our family has lived, and farmed for over 150 years. This blog is dedicated to the memory of my mother and to all mothers throughout the world.

3.     “Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children”. William Makepeace Thackeray

4.     “Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible”. Marion C. Garretty

When is Time Out!

From the heat of unpredictable political landscape which destroys our future for cheap political points

From the turbulence of volcanic market forces with the ruthlessness of the Lucifer

From zealous religious demagogues who temporarily heal our flesh but throw us into the furnace of fire

From sales people who extract cash from the pensioners but give victims rotten bread crumbs

From the social fabric which has become heat wave persistently kills humanity like locusts in their droves

From the banal populist bubblegum television shows which focus on the worst of humanity

Time Out Will Occur!!!!

When on a daily basis we make honest decisions to live life to the fullest

When the spirit of creation in us takes over to contribute to a just social order

When we embrace social justice on daily basis ceases to be an option by a essence of why we are alive

When fairness replaces selfishness which at times makes people worse than wild animals

When we stop to smell the roses as they are be purest embodiment of the future

We wait eagerly the time when students will spend time to studying

Spending time acquiring necessary skills in preparation for contribution to society

Politician’s embodying the spirit of Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko and Solomon Mahlangu

When workers spend time working and bosses pay fair wage

When business sees profit as reasons to invest in humanity

We await the day

We await the time

We will create the day

We want it NOW!!

DO YOU HOW “FACEBOOK”, “GOOGLE” AND “TWITTER” USED TO RADICALLY ALTER THE WAY THE WORLD COMMUNICATES TODAY?

After facilitating a Goal Achiever Seminar recently, there was a lively debate on the secrets used by Facebook, Google and Twitter in their amazing rise to conquering the world. At the end of the session, one teenager stood up, and compiled the following list of the 10 GREATEST INVENTIONS which Facebook, Google and Twitter used as Foundation to impact the lives of billions around the world.

1.     Alphabet

An alphabet is a complete standardized set of letters—basic written symbols—each of which roughly represents a phoneme of a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it may have been in the past. There are other systems of writing such as logograms, in which each symbol represents a morpheme, and syllabaries, in which each symbol represents a syllable.

2.     World Wide Web

The World Wide Web ("WWW", "W3", or simply "Web") is an information space in which the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet, but the Web is actually a service that operates over the Internet.

3.     Wheel

A wheel is a circular object that together with an axle allows low friction in motion, for example, in transport applications.

4.     Typewriter

A typewriter is a mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic device with a set of "keys" that, when pressed, cause characters to be printed on a document, usually paper.

5.     Watch

A watch is a small portable clock that displays the current time and sometimes the current day, date, month and year. In modern times they are usually worn on the wrist with a watch-strap (made of e.g. leather (often synthetic), metal, or nylon), although before the 20th century most were pocket watches, which had covers and were carried separately, often in a pocket, and hooked to a watch chain.

6.     Communications satellite

A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to comsat) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications. Modern communications satellites use geosynchronous orbits, Molniya orbits or low Earth orbits. For fixed services, communications satellites provide a technology complementary to that of fibre optic submarine communication cables. For mobile applications, such as communications to ships and planes, for which application of other technologies, such as cable, are impractical or impossible.

7.     Computer and video games

Formally, a computer game is a game composed of a computer-controlled virtual universe that players may interact with in order to achieve a goal (or set of goals). A video game is a computer game where a video display is the primary feedback device.

8.     Answering Machine

An answering machine, also known as an answer machine (especially in UK and British Commonwealth countries), answerphone or telephone answering device (TAD), is a device for automatically answering telephone calls and recording messages left by callers. Unlike voicemail, which is a centralised or networked system that performs a similar function, an answering machine is installed in the customer's premises alongside the telephone. While early answering machines used magnetic tape technology, most modern equipment uses solid state memories. Magnetic tape is still used in many low cost devices.

9.     E-mail -- Electronic Mail

Electronic mail, abbreviated e-mail or email, is a method of composing, sending, and receiving messages over electronic communication systems. Most e-mail systems today use the Internet.

10. A mouse

A mouse is a handheld pointing device for computers, involving a small object fitted with one or more buttons and shaped to sit naturally under the hand. The underside of the mouse houses a device that detects the mouse's motion relative to the flat surface on which it sits. The mouse's 2D motion is typically translated into the motion of a cursor on the display.
