THE BREAKING POINT

Breaking point is the point where you get to and you feel that you've had enough of the pain, the shame , the guilt , and the frustrations. you may be eating the best food on the table of your comfort zone feeling that you are the king of the world, never wanting to go out and try new ideas, seeking new informations, meeting new friends and seeing new places. Man is never made to be satisfied with one accomplishment, we are always made to seek for new ways to improve our life, to be different, to cause a raise in our situation. Just like a wire when stretched above the limit it can exceed will get taught and get broken so does your brain but in the reverse way. I think that may brain is always saying to me stretch me so that you will be very great. Research shows that the brain can take as many as more that a million informations and process them to give us a result. You own life breaking point is when you are tired of your prsent situation and you want a raise in your life. You are more than your limiting factor. My mentor Mr PRAISE FOWOWE always make it clear that the only nation you can travel to without a visa is the nation called imagination.
welcome and be aware that you are always getting to your point

Play like a champion today

It's just a simple wooden sign, painted gold and blue and mounted on a cream-colored brick wall at the foot of a stairwell. Yet, the "Play Like A Champion Today" sign, found outside Notre Dame's locker room, is so much more.
The slogan "Play Like A Champion Today" is so synonymous with the University that one can be excused for believing that Father Edward Sorin, the school's founder, received it as a divine revelation in 1842.
While the exact origin of the slogan is not known, the sign that currently hangs in Notre Dame Stadium came courtesy of former coach Lou Holtz.
"I read a lot of books about the history of Notre Dame and its football program," Holtz explains. "I forget which book I was looking at - it had an old picture in it that showed the slogan `Play Like A Champion Today'.
"I said, `That is really appropriate; it used to be at Notre Dame and we needed to use it again.' So, I had that sign made up."
Soon, the tradition of hitting the sign before every game developed. Holtz even used a copy of the sign when traveling to road contests to help motivate the team. The players took no time in embracing Holtz's idea.
"(The players) were encouraged by it; I told them the history of it, that this had been here years ago. I didn't know who took it down, I don't know why it wasn't here when I came here, but this is part of Notre Dame tradition and this is what we're going to do," Holtz says.
"Hopefully, it will be here for years to come."
Chances are it will, as the sign still inspires the same feelings that Holtz hoped it would back in 1986.
"(Whenever I see it) I think `Why not? Why not today? Why not this game? Why not right now?'" sophomore left tackle Ryan Harris says. "You just remember what you're out here to do. You came to Notre Dame to be a champion and every time I see it, I think `Why not? Let's go do it!'"
Fifth-year senior Carlyle Holiday vividly remembers his first encounter with the famous sign. "The first time I hit it, Anthony Denman, who was a linebacker here, said when you hit it, you better mean it." Holiday recalls. "The guys take it seriously, so it meant a lot to me. I knew you had to come out with intensity when you hit that sign."
As Holiday's Notre Dame career comes to a close, the slogan has taken on a special meaning.
"You know that the time is coming when you won't be able to hit that sign for very long, so you've got to take advantage of it and cherish every moment you get to hit that sign when coming down the tunnel."
Former Irish coach Gerry Faust, a great believer in motivational tools, has spoken to the team at various times and believes in the power of the "Champion" message.
"The word `champion' means you're the best - the very definition of it," Faust says. "You're a bar above the rest. When you play that way, you're going to be the best and if you give your best, that's all you can ask of a person."
To Holtz - the man who resurrected what has become even a worldwide phenomenon - the hitting of the sign comes with a solemn commitment.
"Regardless of the won-loss record, regardless of the problems you have, when you walk out on that field you have an obligation to your teammates and the fans to play to the best of your ability - to play like a champion and to think like a champion," Holtz says.
"But, I also asked my players that every time they hit that sign, to think about all the sacrifices your family has made; your teammates made in high school; the sacrifices your teachers have made; and you also think of the thousands of people who would love to be in your position. Just think about how fortunate we are.
"All of these thoughts should go through your mind when you hit that sign - `Play Like A Champion Today'."

Who is Great between Ronaldinho and Messi?

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira aka ronaldinho is a player of great fleet that even the world would stand to see him play in the pitch.now as am writing this article in regards to two players who are shaking the world,in regards to thier power on the field there is none greater between these two players as they have shown that to be great on the field you need to obey the law of teamwork.
From his book the 17 irrefutable law of teamwork, John C Maxwel said that ' one is too small a number to achieve greatness'. So for anything great to be achieved then you must be in the team. The New England Patriots' locker room states "Individuals play the game ,but teams win championships."
From my own view I can say that there is none greater than the other but the sharpening of the skills through the help of the team that will always make you to stand out. So may I end this join a team that will lead you to your total accomplishment.

I Don't Regret a Mile

I’ve dreamed many a dream that’s never come true,
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,
But enough of my dreams have come true
To make me keep dreaming on

I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed no answer would come,
Though I’d waited so patient and long;
But enough answers have come to my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen by the wayside,
For the birds to feed upon
But I’ve held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me sowing on.

I’ve trusted many a friends that’s failed me
And left me to weep alone
But enough of my friends have been true blue
To make me keep trusting on

I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain’
And gone many a day without song
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on

The Law of a lifetime growth

This states that ‘always make your learning more than your experience.’
That is continual learning is essential for lifetime growth. You can have a great deal of experience and be no smarter for all the things you’ve done, seen, and heard. Experience alone is no guarantee of lifetime growth. But if you regularly transform your experience into new lessons, you will make each day of your life a source of growth. The smartest people are those who can transform even the smallest events or situation into breakthroughs in thinking and action. Look at all of life as a school and every experience as a lesson, and your learning will always be greater than your experience.

------ Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura

COURAGE WILL STAND YOU OUT

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn’t, but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say no till he tried.
So he buckled in right in with the truce of a grin
On his face, if he worried, he did it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.

Somebody stopped: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one has done it;”
But he took off his coat and took off his hat
And the first thing he knew he’d begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubling or quid it,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That he couldn’t be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it couldn’t be done
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done” and you’ll do it.
- Edgar A. Guest
