I know I could have written: …In their eyes, but I guess You’ll come to that conclusion as well, after watching this video about Benjamin Zander.

Life is not found in a Shopping Mall

arthur taubo — Sun, 16 May 2010 00:59:54 +0000

I must admit. It is facinating to walk around in a shopping mall.
It’s all there! All kinds of people are there; rich, poor, happy, sad
ambitious, depressed, lucky, hungry…they are all there, me included.
Some have stated that shopping is the new hunting. We hunt to get
a better life, feel great and escape from reality for a while.

Personally I feel exhausted when I leave a shopping mall.
My head is heavy, and I do really want to fly away to a quiet
place to put everything back into the right perspective.

You know as well as me that most of us do not need all the
things we actually shop. We do not need a new shirt if we
have one hanging in the closet. We do not need a new pair
of sneakers if the ones we have are not worn out. We do
ofcourse need food, but nearly as much as we end up carrying
to our car. The soda is way to big, the; Grab 10 – pay for 8 is
a trick, but we tend to be victims for that trick over and over
again. And, where did all the money go in the end of the day?
What was wrong with the old television? Do I actually need
an iPad? Why do I dream about wearing that new suit?

There is way to much to choose from. Most of the stuff is made
far away, and mainly in China. Alot of people around the world
struggle with large credit cards bills. Buy now pay in 9 months
is easy right there and then. The want of NOW, overweighs the;
You do actually do need to work hard to pay those bills. 9 months
are far away, and until that time I’ll get a raise at my job. I might
win in the big lottery. But none of those things happend. Life
returns to normal. I might as well loose my job, but I do have a
cinema sound and a plasma TV where I can watch the new Blue Ray
films I just bought.

A lot of people are anxious theese days. A lot of people, at least in
the western part of the world are worried. The owner (s) of the company
outsourced my job. I get paid a lousy buck from the government,
my house rental is way gone. My kids are crying because they can’t attend
the vacation I had promised them. What should I do?

My advice is this. Start taking notes. Start to get rid of all the things
you do not need. Sell them. If you do not actually need a new pair of
jeans, don’t buy them. Pay off your bills, but at the same time, cut of
the monthly slavery. Charles Linden has helped thousands of people
to get rid of their anxiety. I do believe, to get rid of anxiety in one
way or the other is absolutely the beginning on a new journey. I do
believe it is vital to become the CEO in your life, and not your own slave.

Life is not found in a shopping mall?
It is, and it is not. Find your purpose in life. Find your passion.
Do not give up before you find your talent. Start listening to the
voice within. Actuallly, get rid of all the crap. Find out how you
would spend your time if everything was possible. Make a circle
on a piece of paper. Divide your day into the things you actually would
spend your time on. Make a similar circle with how you spend
your time right now. Start out changing the things you can change today,
and change the rest a small step at the time. Make a plan and stick
to it. You’ll discover that you are on your new path in seconds.
It is that easy, and it is really hard at the same time. But start right now.
Find your purpose. There are people out there longing for you to find
your purpose. When you do that, you’ll be able to help them with their
purpose as well.

If You Knew What I Know Would You Buy What I Sell

When I started an Internet business in 1997 I had been on the web for a while, but I did not know how to code. I hired a really young person to help me out, but at that time, the web was lousy, and you found some: This site is under construction animated gifs all over the place. What ever I tried to do looked lik crap. I could not get pictures to stay in place, and Alta vista, my browser at that time did not help me. The trick at that time was to make up the website with huge pictures, at least if you wanted it to look good. But as you probably recall – the black modem did not like it at all. Later, I created a bunch of web sites using a clear.gif to make the site download faster and look pretty. You know the story from then on. The money I earned from creating websites for companies is still to be seen in our house; a great TV and stereo from Bang & Olufsen : http://www.bang-olufsen.com/, and as a matter of fact, I do love it still. Even my kids love it; a push of a button, and the TV is turned to my favorite position. Internet and communication has gone a long way since the 90′s, and you know the story.

BUT: If You Knew What I Know Would You Buy What I Sell?

If you knew me well, you probably would?

or?

For the last 15 years I have been discovering alot of ways that I can persuade people into buying something. And yes, it works. But I have constantly been asking myself this: Am I doing this because I love them or whyBcause I want to make my own life better? What is the correct prize for something? If You Knew What I Know Would You Buy What I Sell?

I do believe that the future will divide “people” into two groups:
#1 Those who wish people well and help others without bragging about it and not think of money.
#2 Those who get more and more greedy each day. (Those are the once that tell you about freedom but do not know anything about it).

I have decided that I would like to become the #1 person. I will of course sell my time and knowledge, but I will rather die broke and calm at heart knowing I gave this world my best shot. So far I have been able to accomplish alot. I have been able to use my potential. I have done alot of mistakes, but I do know that making mistakes is probably the best thing you can do to create great things. But bare this in mind: If you hurt people on your way (I know you will do that because I have), make up with them the best you can before you go to bed at night!

Stay in there tiger grrr;0)

Disclaiming the world

arthur taubo — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:43:48 +0000

I do not know how it is in your world, but in mine there is a bunch of Disclaimers.
Not that I Disclaim that much, I think, but you can now a days not actually do or
make anything without having a disclaimer on your web page or anywhere.

I DO PROMISE YOU THIS

DISCLAIMER

I do not promise you anything

at all because of “the system”,

because “I have too”, because

I’m a chicken, because I do not

know, because every body else does,

because I’m afraid of beeing sued.

I DO PROMISE YOU THIS…

It’s getting worse every day.
Your freedom is beeing boxed in.
Grace is under pressure.
Freedom of speech? Thought?

And this;

You were born for a purpose!
We do all need each others purposes.
Find your purpose, and bring light
to the world. Help those who stumble
and fall. Cheer people up on your way.
Be brave.
