The 11 Rules of Life

Sue Sutcliffe — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:50:22 +0000

Although this speech has been circulating for years and years with credit being given to Bill Gates, a little research showed me that this is an urban myth.

Rule 1: Life is not fair — get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping — they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

Unexpected And Amazing!

Sue Sutcliffe — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:55:31 +0000

I love Reading Seth Godin’s blog and look forward to reading it each day. Yesterday’s post was called…

What’s expected vs. what’s amazing

I visited a favorite restaurant last week, a place that, alas, I hadn’t been to in months. The waiter remembered that I don’t like cilantro. Unasked, she brought it up. Incredible. This was uncalled for, unnecessary and totally delightful.

Scott Adams writes about the cyborg tool that is coming momentarily, a device that will remember names, find connections, bring all sorts of external data to us the moment we meet someone. “Oh, Bob, sure, that’s the guy who’s friends with Tracy… and Tim just tweeted about him a few minutes ago.”

The first time someone does this to you in conversation (no matter how subtly), you’re going to be blown away and flabbergasted. The tenth time, it’ll be ordinary, and the 20th, boring.

Hotels used to get a lot of mileage out of remembering what you liked, but it was merely a database trick, not emotional labor on the part of the staff.

Today, if you go to an important meeting and the other people haven’t bothered to Google you and your company, it’s practically an offense. We’re about to spend an hour together and you couldn’t be bothered to look me up? It’s expected, no longer amazing.

On the other hand, consider Dolores, a clerk with kidney problems at a 7 Eleven, who broke all sorts of coffee sales records because she remembered the name of every customer who came in every morning. Unexpected and amazing.

You can raise the bar or you can wait for others to raise it, but it’s getting raised regardless.

If you like this post, you’ll love the others Seth writes daily on Seth Godin’s blog

Go to www.GourmetBlackCoffee.com to find out why they call it the healthy coffee and to order a box or two to try it out! Gourmet Black Coffee is my favourite kind, but they all have many health benefits:

Oxygenates the body and boosts stamina
Provides more energy and vigor
Increases brain power
Improves quality of sleep
Improves blood circulation
Reduces allergies & imflammations
Strengthens & boosts the immmune system
Strengthens the organs for the elimination of toxins
Pejunivates and makes you fell younger and more alert

Each cup contains one serving of Ganderma Lucidum a.k.a Reishi Mushroom which has done wonders for me, and it’s as good if not better than the coffee you’re drinking now!

Is Your Health Holding You Back?

Sue Sutcliffe — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:04:25 +0000

I discovered a yummy coffee last summer and started feeling better that I have in years. After drinking it for only a few weeks, I started sleeping soundly through the night (rather than waking up 4-5 times per night), I have tons more energy and am amazed by all the testimonial letters that keep flowing in.

In China Ganoderma Lucidum is known as the “Miraculous King of Herbs”. It has been used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 4,000 years, and is known around the world to help with the following:

Oxygenates the body and boosts stamina
Provides more energy and vigor
Increases brain power
Supports quality of sleep
Supports circulation
Supports the immune system
Natural body detoxification

If you’re having problems sleeping, or suffer from health conditions traditional medicines are not working for, why not try some OrGano Gold coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Each cup contain 100% Certified Organic Ganoderma Lucidin and most people feel a difference after only drinking a box or two.
