Million Dollars

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will. - Nelson Mandela

http://gemwritinggems.wordpress.com/




(I’m not a guru, I'm not an expert but here is my answer to the following question...)

 QUESTION
"If you win a million dollars, will you quit your job?" 

  ANSWER
 Winning a million dollars will definitely achieve my money goal (see Outside the Box for related story)...  

... will I quit my job? 

NO.

I love my job (I was an inclusion teacher 6 months ago, now I'm facilitating IEPs in three of the district's schools - see Believing is Seeing for the story) and I thank God for the opportunity!(... and yes, money won't be able to buy it too :)) 

But
 
... for sure I will be very enthusiastic, over-to-the-top-glad and super-duper-elated to have the money -the million dollars OMG!!! - to save, to invest, to use and to give :)     

(Best if as I am writing my thoughts here, millions of dollars are on its way to the palm of my hands LOL!)


What about you? Will you quit your job?

    For me, it's not so much about quitting my job. I'd say I'd continue working, whether in my present job or in another. I'd still want to be productive, be useful to society (assuming that I am useful now, hehe), and apply my skills and talent. Definitely I won't just sleep all day and party all night, maybe on weekends lang. :))

    Yes definitely because I would want to do something that I truly love :) call center is something I can do but not something that I truly love.

    I won't quit my job, that's for sure. The joy of working in place where people are you friends is something money can't buy too.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
