LOVE AND LIFE


Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.
by Jumar

Life is about trusting your feelings and taking chances, losing and finding happiness, appreciating the memories, learning from the past, and realizing people change
by Jaimie

To be honest with you, I don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and I have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again.
by Caila

I'll always remember... I'll never forget, how you took my breath away, the first time we met. No matter what happens... no matter what we do, I'll always remember the first time I saw you.
by Zenki

I'll always be beside you until the very end, wiping all your tears away, being your best friend. I'll smile when you smile and feel all the pain you do, and if you cry a single tear, I promise I'll cry too.
by Leighann


You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel
by Unknown
 
Sometimes what you want isn't always what you get, but in the end what you get is so much better than what you wanted
by Caitlin

Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met.
by Cristina W.

Why is it that we love the ones who ignore us and ignore the ones who love us?
by Steph

 Most times you do not walk into love but just find yourself in it. Love is the best thing in life.

Quotes are life



Great day a friend shared this with me in a mail this week and I found it helpful, so I think every should be bless by them.



Here are a few quotes about wealth that I feel the urge to push into your face this morning

·        If you don’t see the need for an extra income, please just get it at least for the fatherless and motherless. Godfrey Ogbuehi

·        “Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.” Oscar Wilde quotes (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

·        You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy.” Garth Brooks (American Country singer)

·        “Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time” Margaret Bonnano

·        How unfair the fate which ordains that those who have the least should be always adding to the treasury of the wealthy

·        The No. 1 rule is to know the difference between an asset and a liability. The rich focus on their asset columns while everyone else focuses on their income statements. The more money that goes into my asset column, the more my asset column grows. The more my assets grow, the more my cash flow grows. And as long as I keep my expenses less than the cash flow from these assets, I will grow richer, with more and more income from sources other than my physical labor.            Robert T. Kiyosaki

·      Money isn't everything...but it ranks right up there with oxygen. Rita Davenport

·     “[The] ideal client is the very wealthy man in very great trouble.” John Sterling quotes

·     Happiness is a positive cash flow. Fred Adler

·     Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. Benjamin Franklin

·     Anyone who says money can't buy happiness just doesn't know where to shop.

·     Fortune does not change men, it unmasks them. Suzanne Necker

LIVING YOUR DREAM


Dreams are the mental pictures of a preferable future.

Living without such burning desires for better days ahead, is dangerous.
Living without a goal is living like a goat.

Live for something higher than you.

A man can only emerge a success only when he decides to live for something higher than him. If you will run from the challenges of today you will not enjoy the pleasures of tomorrow. Tomorrow belongs to those who a willing to deny self for the joy of tomorrow.

Live deliberately.

There are no accidents or coincidence in life.
Never live like a mistake, allowing life to roll bye anyhow. It’s the most dangerous way to live.

Learn to create your world. Get on the driver seat of your life.
If you will live your life anyhow, you will end up a surprise, but not a pleasant one.
I often ask who taught us those bad pronunciations. May be we did not learn how to live deliberately, learning the rudiments of the language.
Life is to be lived deliberately

Take steps towards the big goal each day.

Success is a product of calculated steps.
Right things done daily, compound into success.
Take steps today.

Build relationships for the future.

People are precious; you cannot afford to lose a friend.
The future is locked up in people you meet and the books you read.

Save for the future.

Cultivate the habit of saving for the future. Set aside funds for raining days.
Be financially intelligent.

Develop skills for the future.

Skills will elevate and project your persona.
Among the skills of the future is ability to speak and write well.
Kindly give yourself this wonderful gift of the future, get a coach today. Live for the future.

Live each day like tomorrow.

Dont wait for the future to come, start living it now!
Dress for the future. Dress your dream.
Talk the future. Live in it today!

The Icon is gone: Steve Jobs of Apple in history

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius and the world has lost an amazing human being," Apple said. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives."
What a great loses to technology as Steve Jobs bow to the battle against pancreatic cancer. To fans of Apple from America to Australia gather to pay tribute to a man who transformed the phone, music and computing industry.
What a short and eventful life. The world will not forget Jobs in a hurry.
Apple co-founder and former chief executive Steve Jobs has died at the age of 56.
 The pioneering businessman, who was the mind behind the revolutionary iPhone and iPad devices, had been battling pancreatic cancer.
He stepped down from his post as Apple's chief executive in August saying he could no longer handle the job due to his illness.
Mr Jobs, who lived in Silicone Valley, California, died on Wednesday surrounded by his family. Apple said it was "deeply saddened" by the news.
A company spokesman said: "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.
"His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
A statement released by his family added: "In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve's illness."
The father-of-four started Apple Computer with high school friend Steve Wozniak in his garage in 1976 but was forced out a decade later. He returned in the mid-1990s and transformed Apple into one of the world's most powerful companies.
Just two months ago the frail-looking businessman resigned as the company's CEO due to his health, but said he would continue to play a leadership role. He was replaced by Apple's chief operating officer, Tim Cook, and took the role of chairman of the company's board.
Mr Jobs, described by many as an industry oracle who revolutionised computing, survived pancreatic cancer in 2004 before receiving a liver transplant in 2009. He had taken three spells of leave over the past several years, with the most recent spell in January.
Steve Jobs works and words live with us forever, reading through some of his speeches and quotes I could tell he was a man deep and truly great. Greatness is from the heart, communicated in words, demonstrated in deeds. A tireless worker and visionary, you have stamp your stamped your feet on the sound of time and heart of men forever.
I found his words enriching, kindly read:
COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, 2005
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.''
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.''
"Stay hungry, stay foolish."
"Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem. It's ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.''
"And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.''
INTERVIEW WITH FORTUNE MAGAZINE, 2000
"In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.''
"My position coming back to Apple was that our industry was in a coma. It reminded me of Detroit in the '70s, when American cars were boats on wheels.''
INTERVIEW WITH WIRED, 1996
"These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that. But it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light - that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important.''
INTERVIEW WITH PLAYBOY MAGAZINE, 1985
"I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore. When we finally presented it at the shareholders' meeting, everyone in the auditorium stood up and gave it a 5-minute ovation. What was incredible to me was that I could see the Mac team in the first few rows. It was as though none of us could believe that we'd actually finished it. Everyone started crying.''
COMMENT TO NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER WHO ASKED ABOUT JOBS' HEALTH, 2008
"You think I'm an arrogant [expletive] who thinks he's above the law, and I think you're a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong.''
INTERVIEW WITH WIRED, 1996
"These technologies can make life easier; can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that. But it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light - that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important.''
INTERVIEW WITH FORTUNE, 2008
"We don't get a chance to do that many things, and everyone should be really excellent. Because this is our life."

INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2003
"Design is not just what it looks like. Design is how it works."
INTERVIEW WITH THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, 1993
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me."
INTERVIEW WITH INC MAGAZINE, 1989
"You can't just ask the customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
Steve Jobs died 5th October 2011.
