Principles of Success

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
                                                                         Abraham Lincoln
 
How do we define success? Webster’s dictionary defines success as “ the attainment of wealth, favor , or eminence.” I think we would agree that Webster’s definition is quite accurate in terms of how we look at people that we perceive to be “successful”.
I would like to expand on this thinking with the following 10 Principles of Success

1) Have a Dream- Create a vision for your future, no matter how big or outrageous your dream is.

2) Develop your Action Plan- Goal setting: Organize your thoughts and feelings on paper, when you do that they become more real. Tape these goals to bathroom mirror, or the refrigerator, somewhere you will see them on a daily basis.

3) Control your Focus- In this day and age of “multi-tasking” you may find this principle hard to follow. However, you must remain focused on your goals if you hope to attain success. Don‘t let yourself get distracted.

4) Seek Guidance- Finding a mentor is of the utmost importance! Find someone you respect and would like to learn from.

5) Practice Self-Discipline- There will be times when you will be tested, you need to stay on target, and re-focus on your goals.

6) Be Aggressive- I don’t know of any successful people that sat around and waited for things to just happen! You need to make things happen, take the initiative and Go For it.

7) Believe in Yourself- If you don’t who else will? Be confident in your abilities to turn things around when things don’t look so good. Your attitude is a little thing that can make a big difference.

8) Be a Pioneer- You will undoubtedly run into people who will tell you “it can’t be done” ignore them, if you have an idea that has not been tried before work to make it a reality. Every great achievement was once considered impossible.

9) Learn to Budget- Put your time, energy and money behind your plan, but do not forget to budget time for you family! They are the reason for your success.

10) Love what you Do- No matter what, you must love what you do in order to live a rich, healthy and successful life.




Worlds Smallest Dog





The smallest dog in terms of length is Heaven Sent Brandy, a female chihuahua who measured 15.2 cm (6 in) from the nose to the tip of the tail on January 31, 2005. Brandy lives with her owner, Paulette Keller in Largo, Florida, USA.

Most Expensive Phone Number



In many areas of the world you can phone switch carriers but keep your phone number. This is known as phone number portability. Caller id and cell phones have encouraged many people to stop memorizing phone numbers, because simply by hitting a button, a person can connect to someone who recently called. 

It is easy to see that some phone numbers are easier to remember than others. In May of 2006 the most expensive phone number was sold in a charity auction in Doha, Qatar.

The expensive phone number 666 6666 reportedly sold for 10m Qatari riyals or £1.5m, or around $2,750,000 US. In the West some consider 6 the imperfect number, but this is apparently not the consensus in Qatar.

The Register reports that the Chinese number 8888 8888 was previously the most expensive phone number, selling for £270,000 to Sichuan Airlines.

History Of A Computer Mouse



When the Computer Mouse was Born



Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute invented the first mouse prototype in 1963, with the assistance of his colleague Bill English. 

Engelbart never received any royalties for it, as his patent ran out before it became widely used in personal computers.

Top Fact - World Longest Tennis Match

Longest Professional Tennis Match


Yes you got it.............

Wimbledon 2010 holds the Title of the worlds longest tennis match for both in terms of TIME and Number Of SETS.

Accurate time keeping of tennis matches did not begin until 1968.

On May 24 at the 2004 French Open in Roland Garros Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clément started playing tennis but eventually darkness fell and they had to stop, but like good tennis players, they came back the next day and played some more.
 
After 6 hours and 35 minutes of actual playing time, spanning two days, the world's longest tennis match was over and Fabrice Santoro was the winner (6-4 6-3 6-7 3-6 16-14).

But the record was broken on June 22 to June 23, 2010 in the first round of wimbledon 2010. The match was played between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut.



           John Isner                                                                                           Nicolas Mahut







                              V/S





                                                                                                    
           

                                                      

The game lasted 183 games and involved 11 hours and 5 minutes of time. Some interesting facts of this game are:
  1. Longest set by time and games: The fifth set of the match required 138 games played over 8 hours and 11 minutes.
  2. Longest play in a single day: The first 118 games of the fifth set, played on 23 June 2010, lasted 7 hours and 6 minutes. This time is longer than the entire tennis history.
  3. Most games in a single day: 118, on the 23 June.

THE RESULT
John Isner (left) defeated Nicolas Mahut (right) 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70-68.
