Goal Setting - Forget about it
Many motivational speakers and self-help books will tell youthat you must have goals. I've even advocated goal settingmyself in the past. You write down your goals and detail them for family life,friends, finances, career, recreation, health, learning,education and your spiritual life. However, I've now come to the conclusion that successfulpeople with strong self-belief don't do goal setting in thisway - why? - Because their too busy doing what they need todo to get what they want to get.Successful people don't spend time writing down what theywant out of life they just get on and do it. To besuccessful at whatever it is you want to do, you need to askyourself - what do I really want to achieve? What are mydreams and desires, what do I want to build, to create andwhat sort of person do I want to be.
You need to clearly identify what it is you want out oflife, what do you hunger and thirst for, what do you reallywant to achieve? If someone held your head under water you'd quickly realisewhat you wanted - oxygen! You need to feel like this to besuccessful. Most of us experience this feeling when we fallin love. We do almost anything to impress and be with theperson of our dreams. This is how people create success, it's how new countrieswere discovered, products were invented, Everest wasconquered and man walked on the moon. You may not want toachieve something so dramatic, you may want to have asuccessful plumbing business, or be an excellent accountant,or even run a marathon.
Whatever it is, once you identifyand focus on it you will release the motivation to make ithappen. There is an often-told story of the swimmer, FlorenceChadwick. On her first attempt to swim the English Channelshe encountered huge waves and chilling temperature. Hertrainers were alongside her in a boat. They had greased herbody to provide protection from the cold and gave her hotsoup from a vacuum flask.
She had everything going for herto ensure she was successful. However a heavy fog set in and as the fog descended, hervision was limited to only a few feet. The water seemed toget colder, the waves higher and she started suffering fromcramp in her arms and legs. She eventually gave up hereffort and asked her trainers to take her on board the boat.What she didn't realise was that she was only a shortdistance from the shore. When the reporters asked her whyshe'd given up when she was such a short distance form theshore.
Her answer was quite simple - "I lost sight of what Iwanted to achieve. I'm not sure that I had it firmly in mymind." You need to have a clear mental picture of where you want togo. You need to visualise yourself being successful and worktowards it, you then have a far better chance of achievingwhat you want to achieve.And case your wondering about Florence Chadwick - she didbecome the first woman to swim the English Channel on the8th August 1950. It took her 13 hours 25 minutes and I bether arms were tired!.
New Efficient and Smaller Herlt Wood Gasifier
The HN-13 is a low cost log wood boiler designed for residential and small commercial applications.
It is as efficient as the larger HERLT Gasifiers already being offered by Advanced Biotechnology Inc.
The PowerFRED can supply heat and hot water for almost any size of home and uses only renewable fuel (wood) energy.The main difference between the HN ? 13 and the larger HERLT models other than the size of the PowerFRED, is the combustion and gasification chambers have been reversed.
A refractory lined gasification chamber, surrounded by a specially packed insulating layer, keeps heat loss and oxygen levels very low, resulting in very few inert gases and burns at high efficiency.
This gas is immediately delivered to the combustion chamber that works in a catalytic mode, allowing a combustion process so clean it achieves emission values that comply with standards for natural gas heating.
