The secret of success lies in the total undivided attention given to your goal

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /><br />When you love and worship you are ready for sacrifice. You must be ready not only to do anything, but also to give up anything to attain your goal, for, without sacrifice you cannot attain anything. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizEaKnrIBggVX0xpfb4MOG3ksydaolAH77L7papCwhi6VJZ2xg3_NUotTX8QApARG5SuE5hETPtIJ-fw9ZbnubwXVZk6ZvyBlApBh_1J8X0Ky7bSP6oW20ZXgpbxU5fr4stUj-F6IA8wOe/s1600/800x600%2521%2521+-+Virginia%2527s+Majestic+Mountain+Sunsets+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizEaKnrIBggVX0xpfb4MOG3ksydaolAH77L7papCwhi6VJZ2xg3_NUotTX8QApARG5SuE5hETPtIJ-fw9ZbnubwXVZk6ZvyBlApBh_1J8X0Ky7bSP6oW20ZXgpbxU5fr4stUj-F6IA8wOe/s320/800x600%2521%2521+-+Virginia%2527s+Majestic+Mountain+Sunsets+001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> The secret of success lies in the total undivided attention given to your goal; otherwise you become a jack of all trades and master of none.

We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.

<div class="zemanta-img" style="text-align: left;"> <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RandyPausch_Wiki_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dr. Randy Pausch" border="0" class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" height="336" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/RandyPausch_Wiki_2.jpg" style="border: none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="224" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /><br />"I've never understood pity and self-pity as an emotion," Pausch told Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America" today. "We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived."<br /><br /><br />The lecture is filled with jokes.<br /><br /><br />"We're not going to talk about spirituality and religion. Although I will tell you that I have experienced a deathbed conversion. I just bought a Macintosh. … Now I know I'd get 9 percent of the audience with that," Pausch said.<br /><br /><br />He also told the audience he was in "phenomenally good health" at the moment and even did a round of one-handed push-ups to prove it.<br /><br />Patience Rewarded<br /><br /><br />Pausch said he looked back at family photos and saw that when he was a kid, he was smiling in every picture.<br /><br /><br />"So what were my childhood dreams? You may not agree with this list, but I was there. Being in zero gravity, playing in the National Football League, authoring an article in the World Book Encyclopedia. I guess you can tell the nerds early," he said in the lecture.<br /><br /><br />Though he achieved most of his childhood dreams, Pausch flashed his rejection letters on a screen and talked about career setbacks: "Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls aren't there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show us how badly we want things."<br /><br /><br />Pausch says he's not afraid of death, but does worry about the process of dying.<br /><br /><br />"Well the particular way I'm going to die is not going to be particularly pleasant. It will probably be physically uncomfortable and it won't be an easy thing for my wife and kids to watch," Pausch told Sawyer. "I think it will be a real challenge to see if I can squeeze the lemons hard enough to still get lemonade the last few weeks."<br /><br /><br />But Pausch said in the face of adversity, don't complain, just work harder. Your patience, he says, will eventually be rewarded.<br /><br />"You know, life is a gift," Pausch told Sawyer. "Again, it sounds trite, but if you wait long enough, other people will show you their good side. If there's anything I've [learned] that is absolutely true. Sometimes it takes a lot longer than you might like. But the onus is on you to keep the hope and keep waiting."<br /></span>Disclaimer. Our materials are intended for entertainment purposes only.

The label, sponsorship did not come from A.A. nor is the word mentioned in there BIG BOOK.

<p><a href="http://galatictours.blogspot.com/2012/01/sponsorship-is-downfall-of-aa.html">Sponsorship is the downfall of A.A | DREAM WARRIOR RECOVERY</a></p><blockquote>The label, sponsorship did not come from A.A. nor is the word mentioned in there BIG BOOK. Sponsorship came from recovery places that injected it into A.A as a whole thus dividing A.A.– The message of A.A. is clear “ God could and would if sought”– Sponsorship goes against God ability and the message of A.A. You can count on if it doesn’t come from ones own heart (personal willingness) it is not A.A</blockquote>
