A Filipina who is ASTIG or uniquely cool & fashionable is Yeng Constantino. Her birth name was Josephine Eusebio Constantino which reminds me of the great Portuguese footballer Eusebio who played with a lot less petulance than a current, fabulous star for Portugal. Yeng hails from Rodriguez, Rizal, Philippines.

As have many Filipinos, she has traveled abroad and graced audiences in the U.S.A, Canada, Australlia, Guam, Japan, Singapore, HongKong, the U.A.E, Qatar where this photo was taken, Oman & Kuwait.

Yeng, a winner of Pinoy Dream Academy, released her third album, Lapit, in late 2009. 2010 will feature her as the host of "Music Update Live" on ABS-CBN. The time slot is 1:20 A.M. daily.

Yeng is performing tomorrow, May 19th in Quezon City, at 9 p.m. Tickets are going for 400Php. The venue is the METRO concert bar.

The Top 10 Reasons NOT To Buy SBI!

procrastination
embarrassment -- afraid of what friends will think if it was a scam, if it really was too good to be true
not aware/don't believe you can make money online
not relevant enough (did not realize I needed it), not ready, don't have an idea for a biz
don't understand what it is/does, don't see the value, think can do it on their own, misunderstand "business."
previous failures due to GRQ or regular hosting
Wordpress on the brain
the "what else" is out there syndrome
skeptical-GRQ -- "we all know that guarantees from the unscrupulous are worthless"
nay-sayers.
Hey! You can't procrastinate on what you don't know about yet, so whether you're sure or not, give yourself the opportunity to know more & please visit my SBI Testimonial Page.

Chris Lytle shares these insights from Tor Dahl, the Founder, President and CEO of Tor Dahl & Associates; the 10 Top suggestions for making your sales department more productive:
1. Have a two-hour paper purge. Set a timer and see how many pounds of paper salespeople can get rid of. Make it light and fun. Sure, people should come in on Saturday and do this for themselves, but they don't. Making it a group activity helps create a new clutter-free culture.
2. Institute a clean desk policy. At night, all surfaces should be cleared of papers, even if that means the pile goes in a drawer. During the day, three-quarters of the surface of the desk should be visible.
3. Impose the poster rule. No poster can hang more than six months. Start with your own office.
4. Knock off the knickknacks. It's a desk, not a nest. While there's nothing wrong with a personal touch, consider an amendment to your policy manual to limit the number of those touches to two.
5 . Quit copying everybody. Post memos intended for everyone on a central bulletin board. Use "group email" to get information to people.
6. Throw away every back issue of every magazine that's over two months old. Feeling guilty about not reading them only drains energy that could be devoted to having a more productive present.
7. Make it a practice to have at least one empty drawer in your desk, one empty shelf on your bookcase, and one unscheduled hour in your daily planner.
8. Write down your top five functions. These high-leverage tasks are the things you should be planning first. If you're doing something other than one of these five, ask yourself why.
9. Make a list of things you are doing that shouldn't be done. Quit doing them.
10. Brainstorm another list of 10 things that will eliminate clutter and act on them.

As anyone who walks in Manila can attest, there are many hazards including holes in unexpected places. I met a blind man the other day and yes, he was with a cane but it made me wonder if he had ever fallen in a little deeper than expected. If I saw him again, these are the questions that I'd ask:
1. Have you set a vision for yourself?
2. Do you like seafood?
3. Do you believe in love at first sight?
4. Is love blind?
5. Is the phrase "seeing is believing" true?
6. Is there a braille equivalent of WYSIWYG?
7. Show me the money or showtime resonate more with you?
8. Do you ever set your sights on new goals?
9. When will I see you again?
10.What do you see happening in the rest of 2010?

Did You ever want a "rewind" button? While I think the saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression is terribly flawed, it is true that you may never get the second chance. Here is a list of Ten Top Tips for "quick" sales from Audrey Watters:
1. Keep it short
2. Have a hook
3. Pitch yourself, not your ideas
4. Don't forget the pitch
5. Don't overwhelm with technical or statistical terminology
6. Practice
7. Use the same tactics for print
8. Revise
9. Be involved in the startup community before you pitch

Here is a Top Ten List of Positive Affirmations compiled by gems4friends.com:

I trust in my ability to relax. I am calm and peaceful.
I celebrate my ability to take risks and to dare to take a different direction.
I enjoy being me!
I am happy with myself. I relax and enjoy my life.
My resilience and calmness inoculate me from external pressures.
I define success on my terms.
I trust that there is a plan for my life, even if it has yet to be revealed to me.
I take small steps in life and appreciate the time I have.
I am thankful for all opportunities. My attitude reflects my happiness.
I am where I want to be in life.
I especially like number 6 and used to carry a similar quote among many on a particular clipboard; success is self-acceptance.
Conditioning of the mind is important or how would people not only survive but grow stronger during harsh times such as when a Prisoner of War. The mind is truly a sanctuary to hold in the highest regard.
I am of the opinion that a daily 'Positive Affirmation' may actually diminish the expected outcome since we embrace a new affirmation rather than reinforcing one that is extrapolated into working for us individually and can be utilized for a time period that is appropriate and relevant to our present circumstances.
On the other hand, a daily affirmation can give us something positive to look forward to and/or burst negativity or snap an idea into us.
Here is a link to a Facebook page with daily affirmations for YOU to appreciate.

Get a grip on life - take responsibility for yourself - be in control of your own life

What’s important today won’t matter tomorrow
Everybody else is furiously improvising, so you can too
Nobody thinks about you as much as you think about you
It’s OK to piss people off
Aspiration is for suckers
Nobody tells all the truth, all the time Life doesn’t get better – only your perception of life improves
Your family comes first, but not to the detriment of everything else
You’re wrong as often as you’re right
Men should never wear wigs
