Creed for Optimists

Be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

Talk health, happiness, and
prosperity to every person
you meet.

Make all your friends feel
there is something in them.

Look at the sunny side of
everything.

Think only of the best, work
only for the best, and expect
only the best.

Be as enthusiastic about the
success of others as you are
about your own.

Forget the mistakes of the
past and press on to the greater
achievements of the future.

Give everyone a smile.

Spend so much time improving
yourself that you have no time
left to criticize others.

Be too big for worry and too
noble for anger.

...from "Creed for Optimists"
by Christian D. Larsen

Gurus, Questions and 40 Pound Appointment Books
By Barry Maher

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

When I tell audiences they need to be their own guru, that
doesn't mean they shouldn't pick up every idea they can from
whomever they might be able to pick it up from. We need to pick
up everything we can, but pick up nothing unquestioned.

Question authorities, question gurus. Stephen Covey is certainly
one of our most successful business gurus--and quite possibly one of the best. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People has sold nearly 13 million copies. At one point he was advising 82 of the top 100 companies in America on how to run their businesses. Then he teamed up with Hyrum W. Smith, the guru who created the Franklin Day Planner. Who's also a best-selling author.

I mean, talk about guru wonderland: here's a guy who in the 1980s talked every yuppie in America into lugging around 40 pound appointment books that they had to take a course to use.

Covey and Smith said that they were going to apply their
expertise to make their company a model for industry.

According to Business Week, " It turned out to be a model all
right: of bloated bureaucracy, poor planning, and internal
bickering, turning Franklin Covey Co. into a poster child for
highly ineffective organizations."

It's easier to say than to do. Are you familiar with Weiler's
Law? Weiler's Law says that nothing is impossible for those who
don't have to do it themselves.

In 2001, the business gurus at Fortune magazine awarded the
coveted title of most innovative company in America to . . .
Enron.

Success Magazine is a publication chocked full of tips for
success from all the country's leading business gurus. Success
magazine just went out of business. I don't know if the advice
wasn't any good or if they just weren't listening to their own
gurus. I can't get too cocky about this though, since I was one
of those gurus. In fact, they still owe me for the last article I
wrote for them. Obviously neither the article nor the advice in
it did much for Success magazine.

Question the best. Question authorities. Question the flavor of
the month. Question me.

Question conventional thinking. Earl Nightingale said, "Whatever
the majority of people is doing under any given circumstances, if
you do the exact opposite, you will probably never make another
mistake as long as you live."

Question conventional thinking. Question Earl.

Question accepted wisdom. Art Hammer is an idea expert. His
company helps businesses generate, refine and test ideas for
improving their processes. Art has empirically tested hundreds of
thousands of ideas. Art says, "What we have consistently
discovered is that whenever everyone involved unanimously agrees an idea is going to help, a quarter of the time it will improve results, half the time it will have no effect and a quarter of
the time it will actually hurt."

Be your own guru.

Then don't forget to question yourself.

Creating Extra Screen Space

No matter what size your monitor, I'll guarantee that sometimes
you wish you had more space to view your favorite Britney Spears Website.

Well, you can always upgrade to a bigger and more expensive
monitor. But here's some tips on utilizing your existing screen
area. This works if you use Internet Explorer.

A. Reduce the size of your Task Bar icons.

The default configuration takes up a lot of valuable space, but
if you're reasonably comfortable with the buttons, and what
they're for, there's quite a bit you can do.

Open Internet Explorer and Left click on

View

Toolbars

Customize

You are presented with a flyout window.

Go to 'Text Options' and click on drop down button.

Then select 'No Text Labels'. This removes the description labels
of the Buttons.

Then go to 'Icon Options' and select 'small icons'.

Click 'Close' - NOT 'Reset'.

You've immediately saved a lot of space in less than a minute.

There's probably a lot of buttons you never use, so go back to
'Customize' again, and while the flyout window is open left click
on a button you want to remove from your taskbar, hold down the
button, and drag it off the task bar. Any button you want to add,
drag it from the open window onto your taskbar.

If that doesn't work, right click on the icon you want to remove
in the right hand pane of the flyout window, and click 'Remove'.
Or click 'Add' if you wish to add icons.

====================
Those techies sure are clever. Of course they don't always
make it clear how you use all their techie stuff. Which is just
as well, or The Newbie Club wouldn't exist:-)
