I just noticed something surreal - There's no way my typing is _that_ bad.

Just a quick test if you don't mind:

petalles

petalles

petals

boob


(Edit: I don't effing believe it - As someone else, Dim Prawnarolo I think, pointed out this poxy site now changes tit to petal. Almost as unreal as an email server at work that baulked on an email of mine when it spotted the phrase "via gravity" and assumed I was trying to flog viagra.)

Try saying ****, ****, ****, *******, *******, *******, *******, *******, ******* or ******* then.

Are you the tramp that "lives" in Letchworth library? If so, please wash your undies: the fishy stench is very off-putting. Thank you.

Is that _the_ Letchworth? Never been there I'm afraid.

That smell is probably his kipper sandwiches - If you ask nicely he might give you one.

(and a sarnie, if you're very good)

For Heaven's sake don't waste money buying them. I have hundreds of self-improvement ebooks. Not that I've ever read any, but they're among my 100,000 plus collection of ebooks. (Beat that if you can AtW )

If you let me know a few titles and an email addy I'll send you some.

I once bought Burt Weedons "Play with yourself in a day".
Wasn't what I expected at all.

[QUOTE=beaker;324463][QUOTE=2uk;324403]...when I feel fear or anger I've been trying to train myself to , as i call it , "cut the thought (or feeling) at the source".

If you are to change your thought process fundamentally you have to be persistent , apply the principles everyday.

Serenity now!

Exactly . telling the other mes shut up

pm me if you want/need one or two specific titles, but I can't spend too long searching. (They're not all organised as well as I'd like, and I can't be bothered to spend too long on that.)

Your best chances will be topics related to computing, maths, science, medicine, and humour. But I have plenty of others. (I don't bother much with fiction though, but also have several thousand novels.)

Install Windows desktop search or google desktop search. Let the thing index the directory where the ebooks are. If they are PDF , you might need to download a add-on to read that.

Would this generous offer extend to another board member, kind sir?

Well , after having spent about a decade reading technical books only , I decided to find something other to read. I was browsing amazon for self-improvement books ( biz , productivity related ) – ones that make you better. Frankly there are thousands, it is almost like everybody has written one. One that cought my attention was “Meditation for dummies” lol . Might give it a try ( at least I will have a laugh )

Another one that I ve been hearing all over the place is the “4 hours Work Week”

Anyone ?

The 97% of your thoughts in point 1 should be able to help you achieve point 2.

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill is good for focusing your mind on achieving what you want. "The E Myth Revisited" by Michael E Gerber is a practical way to do it.

"Eat that frog" by Brian Tracy is good for getting loads of important stuff done to free up time for that very important 97% of other stuff you are aiming to achieve

"
The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA),
"

Sounds like what i need. I actually have a concept like that in my life , it is called the SFM . Success Focused Mindset. It has to do with controlling what I think all the time. For example when I feel fear or anger I've been trying to train myself to , as i call it , "cut the thought (or feeling) at the source". Basically by "fading-out" , not thinking about this. I've been trying to apply it since 2001 , but is hard. If you are to change your thought process fundamentally you have to be persistent , apply the principles everyday.


If I buy the Think and Grow Rich , ( written in the 30ies) , and don't like it , where do I claim my rupees ?

1. I want to gain control of my mind and to be able to maintain constant focus and concentration on a particular subject – say a new business idea. A bit of a change from now - 97 percent of my thoughts are devoted to cute chicks , fast cars , big houses and big dreams.

2. Become patient and persistent in realizing my business ideas.
