Reliable Work Ethic
By · CommentsYou will see that generally when individuals, companies or countries have some kind of economic problems there is often some kind of work ethic problem. What were the problems at failed companies such as Worldcom, Enron and Lehman Brothers ? All of them had questionable business practices and work ethic.
One of my friend has been unemployed for five years now. He has two degrees one in political science and the other in some related field. When you talk with him. It is clear that he is passionate about health and fitness not politic. It is the person you can turn to for advices about a good work out routine at the gym or a good healthy diet. But my friend has not the willingness to pursue a fitness trainer certification and work in that field. In fact, I do not think the idea has occurred to him. He insists to find a job that will use his skill in political science a field that I’m not sure he has a passion for.
International observers noted that Greece could repay part of its debt with solar power sold to EU countries. In fact Greek individual such as those living on the Island of Naxos could use their land to set up solar panels and sell the energy. But one Greek land owner living there said in an interview for the French/German Arte TV channel that there is not the willingness to do something like this. According to him, people had rather run a bar or a restaurant. The willingness is lacking.
Part of having a good and reliable work ethic is to have willingness. I know some people in unemployment ALL of them lack willingness. They are not willing to learn new skills, to adapt themselves to new condition and they fear hard work.
It is advisable for someone lacking in willingness to develop these qualities of working hard, learning new skills and to learn to adapt to change.
It is also important to view work as something good or even fun. Seeing work as a burden or a privilege can only cause trouble.
The other big aspect of a reliable work ethic is the ability to deliver.
Back in the days, I was working at a software development company. Once my supervisor came to announce me that in one week, I will work on some programming technology that I did not know anything about.So what I did, I took the manual which was about 1200 pages, I divided it by five and everyday in addition to my daily workload I would study about 240 pages a day. The next week I was operational and I could deliver what was asked.
One another time, my supervisor assigned me to solve some technical glitch in a software from a large retail company. I did not develop the program and I was not familiar with its source code. I told my supervisor that I would need two weeks but he gave me 5 days.
So I stayed at office late at night studying the source code of that program and looking for a solution to its malfunction. I did the extra miles of staying at office until progress toward a solution were made. I solved the problem in 5 days.
This is what it is all about. Delivering
Quit complaining
Quit crying
Quit saving your energy.
and deliver.

Gary Ryan Blair’s 100 day challenge review
By · Comments
A little while ago, I completed Gary Ryan Blair’s 100 day challenge. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. During 100 days, I worked on a couple of goals. I learned that working on more than 2 goals or projects can be too much and some will take more than 100 day especially if I lack knowledge in that area.
I learned the real meaning of this quote:
Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction. –Bill Gates
During those 100 days, I was very focused and it is one of the benefit I got from this. I improved my focus. Because I was focused, I planted many good seeds for some of the goal that were unrealistic to complete in just 100 days.
One of my goal was to produce a documentary about the Law Of Attraction in French language. I had a lot of fun with this one but it can’t be completed in 100 days at this stage for me. I´m still learning film-making (my courses include classes in video editing, animation and motion graphic, screenwriting and filming)
If I make this, the film will be distributed on my French Law Of Attraction Youtube channel. So I wanted to make the channel populars and one of the goal for my Youtube channel was to pass 100,000 views before the end of this year. I passed 100,000 views the 25th. I had less than 20,000 views in June so I’m happy with the results.
Another goal I had was too increase my revenue. I didn’t achieve the sum I wanted. Because I put a lot less effort in this one. But I did put constant effort as a consequence I increased my revenue of a few percents. The increase is significant enough that I can go on vacation every month almost anywhere in the world, If I wanted to. I created new websites where I promote affiliate products that bring high commission two of the products, I promote offer 120 dollars of commission. This is an excellent rate. I also created some audio products that I sell on my French website.
I believe 2012 will be a good financial year for me. The 100 day challenge is very appropriate for financial goal especially; if you are independent or a business owner.
Spiritually, I worked on “releasing/letting go” and it was reflected in many posts I made during the last 100 day. I did hours of release per day and I learned a lot. The deepest lesson for me was that you can achieve a lot just by releasing. It made many things I wrote in the past obsolete. I have to re-invent this blog next year as I found new definitions for many of the concept taught on this blog such as “love sending”. There is a lot to say about this. It will keep me busy blogging in 2012 about that stuff.
This last goal was so intense that it conditioned the others one and it limited my ability to work more effectively on these goals but I didn’t regret it. When you do this for 100 days, you considerably develop your discipline/will power, therefore it gets easier to get stuffs done which is great.
About Gary’s program itself. A few words about it. First, you have to pay for it and if you are like most people, you do not want to throw your money by the window so you will tend to be more focused and go through it.
You will be supported by a highly motivated and ultra-competent community. The 100 day challenge community is amazing and if you have difficulty to follow the program, they will help you with very good advices.
Watching the daily video emailed by Gary every morning tend to keep the focus on things to be done to achieve the goals. There is another piece of software that come with the program. You can install it on your PC and it will remind you about your goals. I installed that program on a Sony Vaio/Windows Vista system. The program worked just the first day and that’s it. But you don’t really need it.
I recommend the 100 days challenge for:
People who want to quit laziness
People who want to stop procrastination
People who want to increase revenue
People who struggle to get well organized (the program provide great tools for this)
People who want to be high achiever

Binaural Beats and Inner Peace
By · Comments
Photo from my window / Spain
There are inner peace and inner peace. The inner peace I will talk here is not the inner peace of Ramana Maharshi or other advanced masters.
The inner peace I want to talk with you is a state with no stress, a state of high well-being. It is a state of calmness and joy. It is a state where problem solving is very easy. Creativity is abundant. The simple things in life are appreciated even more. A state where you go in supreme harmony with the flow of life. Most people have been there during their early childhood. Can you remember a childhood memory when you played the whole afternoon somewhere in the countryside until the sunset came without even noticing the time passing?
That`s the state. A state in the here and now, creativity is often paramount and worries are absent.
I had many extended periods of inner peace during these periods many things I wanted to create got manifested very easily. I remember in 1998 I was in that state. I had a very quiet and solitary life. My main hobby included taking long walks in the wood. During that time, I didn’t watch or consume a lot of media such as movies, loud music and other stuffs. Most of the time I listened to classic baroque music and some new-age artist notably Steven Halpern.
At the time and for six months, I visualized my ideal lifestyle for the coming years. I stopped the exercises when I finished college in June 98 then in September, I was hired at a startup company during that period I met a guy who said that I could work at the best Internet startup of the country if I wanted. I sent them my CV and by February 7th, 2000 (My birthday is the February 6th) I worked with them and the ideal lifestyle I visualized during six months in 1998 manifested itself.
Exactly like I visualized it. It is like a movie becoming true.
I attributed the success of this to that state of great inner peace and creativity. If you are familiar with the level of consciousness that will be like being in the 400s. When you are in the 400s, it is easy to create reality.
Binaural beat’s conditioning can help you to achieve that state. It is also possible to achieve that state without any artificial help like I did in 98’. Regardless of the method, you choose to use releasing, binaural beats or meditations. You will have to adjust your lifestyle, a little and the more you do it the greater the result.
The less you live loud the better your chance for inner peace.
Living Loud
- coffee + smoking + eating sweets
- no exercises
- lot of TVs, web surfing, phone chatting
- lot of inappropriate foods
-lot of loud music (MTVs)
- conflicting relationship
- inner conflicts
Living in calmness
- Healthy food and drinks
- waters, fruits
- exercises (usually more than one type of exercise)
- classical music, new age, Gregorian chants
- reading genuine spiritual books
-harmonious relationship
- time alone to reflect
When you have a calm lifestyle, and you listen to the binaural beats after a while you enter that state very naturally. I created that state several times since 2000. The first time was with the help of Ultra Meditation
They are many tools you can use today to create inner peace but always remember to adjust your lifestyle, consequently.

I got this question pretty often:
What binaural beats CD is good against attention deficit disorder (ADD) / attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ?
In a study conducted by Robert Sornson on a group of children aged six to fourteen years, all of whom had been diagnosed with ADD. Several binaural beats tones were tested. The best changes in the mood and behaviors of these children were gained with the use of 12 and 16 Hz tape.
“Often, children with ADD demonstrate unusually slow brain-wave activity, with a higher than normal theta to beta ratio. Neurofeedback training for ADD typically focuses on decreasing theta activity (4 to 7 Hz) and increasing beta activity (12 to 18 Hz). ” Monroe Institute
In this case, the use of a binaural concentration CD could be helpful. A good one from Hemi-sync is Seasons At Roberts Mountain 
Another alternative to binaural beats CD is a technique called Open Focus. According to Dr. Les Fehmis the mis-use of our natural attention processes is at the bottom of a number of problems, such as attention deficit disorder (ADD) / attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I highly recommend his book “Open Focus” the book comes with a CD that has the technique.
