If we ever have the pleasure of meeting each other, whether it be at an education conference, a teacher workshop, or in a classroom, other than my size (I stand only 5′-6″), you’ll notice that I will adorn two bright red bracelets – one on each wrist. I never take them off. Refer to keynote speaker for more information.

Both are bands I specifically created for a pre-determined purpose: to keep me focused on what’s most important when it comes to building my character as a teacher. One band reads “Integrity” and the other reads “It’s Not About Me.”

I started wearing these bands about two years ago, and I haven’t taken them off since. They serve as a constant reminder that…

1.) no matter how difficult my job as a teacher becomes, I must always be a man of my word; do the right thing when no one’s looking; and do things for God’s approval, not people; and

2.) I must always remember that I became a teacher to serve others, not myself, and to ALWAYS do what’s in the best interest of my students.

Why do I refuse to take off my bands, even in the shower (that’s probably too much information)? Because I think it’s so easy to compromise when things around us get a little uncomfortable.

Personally, I believe a little compromise in character invites a little corrosion in character; and I believe a little corrosion of character leads to the corruption of character. And in our profession, I don’t believe we can afford neither corrosion or corruption of character; therefore, I try not to compromise my integrity.Go to keynote speaker for more information.

I am well aware of the countless number of challenges we face as new and veteran teachers. I get dozens of requests to visit, speak, train, and consult with school districts all over the country each year, and sometimes the professional challenges of our job seem insurmountable.

But as I once told a good friend of mine, I’ve never faced a problem where humbling myself and honoring others have ever gotten me into trouble. And I believe that starts with teaching and working with integrity (at all cost) and taking the focus off of our problems and refocusing our attention on the future of our students.

I know this is easier said than done in a school system that’s plagued with bureaucratic red tape, little or no support, sometimes incompetent leadership, and often apathetic parents.

However, I believe when we face our wonderful Creator when our time on earth has expired, and He asks, “What did you do with the children I placed under your care as a teacher?” I don’t believe God will accept ANY of the “logical” excuses we often use to justify less than a 100% commitment to excellence on our jobs and in the lives of our students.

So I want you to ask yourself some of the same tough questions I ask myself when it comes to my commitment to teaching:

1.) Am I part of the problem or the solution?
2.) Do I focus on the obstacles on my job or the opportunities?
3.) Do I make excuses or do I set a positive example for others?
4.) Do colleagues and students see me as being full of enthusiasm or full of something else?
5.) Do I brighten up my school when I enter it or when I leave it?

If we’re honest with ourselves, we know the true answers to these questions. That means either we can keep doing what we’re doing so we can keep getting the same results or we can choose to change our school by changing our approach and our attitude towards our job. The choice is yours.

Teach with passion, and remember to practice what you teach. Visit keynote speaker for further information

“You can spend all your time making money…”
– Eagles, “Take It To the Limit (One more Time)”

I know you are tired of tinkering with buy, sell and stop orders. Your eyes are burning from constantly staring at your computer screen. You may consider yourself a successful investor but the reality is: you have been playing guessing games with your money for too long.

It is time to put an end to this.

Introducing the Forex Autopilot – endorsed by a number of recognized media companies like NBC, CBS and Entrepreneur Magazine, the system consistently wins a significant proportion of placed orders generating a substantial income for individual investors.

The Forex Autopilot was released to the public in mid 2007. Since then, it has rapidly improved the Las Vegas style guessing games that non-institutional investors like you and me have had to put up with. The developer’s web-site quotes numbers as high as 85% successful trades and upwards of 100% profit per month!

Even though the results posted on the Forex-Autopilot official web site are likely a record of the system’s preformance in perfect market conditions, they are still quite impressive.

What is more interesting, is that a number of Forex Autopilot owners also report success ratio indicating similar performance. Typically the results reported are winnings of from 70% to 85%, of all trades with an average profit trade being 3 to 4 times the size of an average loss trade!

While profitability are undoubtedly crucial, what some will consider even more important, is that the Forex Autopilot Electronic Adviser goes one step further than many other forex systems, like the Forex Killer System (www.forex-killer-system.com) or Forex Trading Machine (www.forex-trading-machine.com).

Why? With the Forex Autopilot you are getting 8 Electronic Advisors or EA’s (robotos), which trade for you 24 hours a day!

While all these other systems will also do a good job at specfying the entry/exit levels, the Forex Autopilot will actually execute the Buy, Sell, Take/Profit and Stop/Loss orders for you, 100% automatically! Imagine not having to sweat the little details. Out to lunch? Not a problem. Nap time? For you, maybe. The Forex Autopilot robots will monitor the moves of the currency pairs for you while you go about your business. No more being Forex’s slave, you have more important tasks to attend to!

To be fair I should also mention those aspects where the Forex Autopilot software system performance is not as stellar. One area where this product is lacking is Technical Support. Presently, support is by email and user discussion groups/forums. Responsiveness varies, according to various user reports, from several hours to a couple of days, with some extreme cases reportedly taking up to 2 weeks to resolve! Well, every new begining is difficult… As a matter of fact good customer support is something to be desired even with huge corporations like Yahoo. Yes, Yahoo – go to their home page, I challenge you to find a support phone number, or even a Contact Us link for that matter! (A lesson to be learned…)

The good news is that there is a full refund offered for the first 8 weeks after purchase so everyone who is totally dissatisfied with system can return the product and get a their money back (no issues have been reported with refunds).

Another minor limitation of the Forex Autopilot is that it only works with the MT4 (MetaTrader 4) platform. Even though MT4 is the most popular Forex trading platform, it is fair to list this here as a limitation. This may not be a problem for new traders who are just shopping for a broker and opening their new account but it may be an inconvenience for traders whose broker does not support MT4. A full list and a side-by-side comparison of all MetaTrader brokers is available at www.fxsoftwaresolutions.com.

With the exception of those few issues, Forex Autopilot can make you other important things… like counting your money!

Jokes aside, if you are looking for extra income, part time work or a home based business then definitely give Forex Autopilot a try. You won’t regret it.

Flexible hours, working from home, minimum involvement on your part, no sales skills or cold-calling required… the benefits are obvious! After all, thousands of people make a living from forex, so why not you?

Of course trading is not for everybody, and you may not like it, but until you try it you will never know. Accept every new experience that life offers to you – that is the only way to find your true calling! And with the 8-week guarantee you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from this proven system! Leaving aside the very high profitability potential, Forex Autopilot is designed to be totally hands-off, leaving you free to focus on your family, friends and all those other things that make life enjoyable!

If you have a good financial education you don’t need money because you have a financial education. Most of people work for money, which is doled out in meager fashion, and they blame their boss for their poor financial position. They work hard, but they don’t think financially. The rich don’t work for money, money works for the rich.

What does Kiyosaki recommend as a solution? Taking seminars on futures trading, financial workshops and real estate. He writes about buying a property and quickly reselling it for a large profit and he set up a free educational training classes which moving around US, being at 8-10 cities at 1 time. It is amazing that you can take 2 day free financial workshops with ought spending anything and no future obligations. It is just to give people an idea of how to be in control of their trades and investments.The big difference between the rich and non-rich is that the rich use their money to buy things which generate future wealth-stocks, real estate, etc. The non-rich tend to buy personal things which depreciate in value and have no ability to earn future wealth. People should be taking jobs to learn and not to earn.Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom.

“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is the longest-running best-seller in US.

Robert Kiyosaki had two dads – a rich one and a poor one.

“One dad was highly educated and intelligent; he had a Ph.D. and had completed four years of under-graduate work in less than two years. He then went to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies. All on full, financial scholarships. My other dad never finished the eighth grade. Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one dad struggled financially all his life and the other dad would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities, and his church. The other left a legacy of unpaid bills. Both men were strong, charismatic, and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things”.

If I can take a dollar and turn it into 100 dollars, my bank will give me all the money I want, so will the stock market. But if you’re a financial idiot, you know they don’t care if you went to Harvard they’re not going to give you any money.”Most people live their lives chasing paychecks, pay raises, and job security because of emotions of desire and fear, not really questioning where those emotion-driven thoughts are leading them. It’s just like the picture of a donkey, dragging a cart, with its owner dangling a carrot just in front of the donkey’s nose. The donkey’s owner may be going where he wants to go, but the donkey is chasing an illusion.” writes Kiyosaki.”In the real world outside of academics, something more than just good grades is required. I have heard it called ‘guts,’ ‘chutzpah,’ ‘balls,’ ‘audacity,’ bravado,’ ‘cunning,’ ‘daring,’ ‘tenacity,’ and ‘brilliance.’ This factor, whatever it is labeled, ultimately decides one’s future much more than school grades.”Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing RK: I think that money is a very important subject. You know, when somebody says, “Money’s not that important,” or the best one is, “Money doesn’t make you happy”. I say, “You must be a very unhappy person”. You know, because I am happier when I have all the money I want. Money buys my lifestyle; it buys my freedom. I can travel the world I can work if I don’t work. So I think it’s to be more honest with yourself about your relationship with money.

Stock options provide advanced investors with additional opportunities for potentially rewarding returns. But stock options also involve risks, so a good understanding of options will help you minimize risk and maximize your profits as an option trader.
Options on stocks and stock indexes are derivative instruments. Stock investors may use stock options to hedge against a price decline, to lock in a future purchase price, or to speculate on the future price of a stock.

A stock option is essentially a contract that gives one party the right to purchase or sell a stated number of shares of a stock at a specified price. The price at which the shares may be purchased or sold is known as the strike or exercise price. The right to exercise lasts for a stated period of time, which may be months or years, until the expiration date. If not exercised on or before the expiration date, the option expires.

You need to develop a stock option trading system. Hundreds of different systems already exist, and you can certainly learn about them, and even purchase one if you like. Or you can develop your own. Your stock option trading system must preserve your capital or you’ll fail. This also means you can’t risk everything. As a trader, you should be looking for small, repeated successes. Your focus should be on consistently making profitable trades and limiting your losses on bad trades.

Your stock option trading system should also be mechanical in nature. Trading should always take place in liquid markets. An effective stock option trading system should be aimed at liquid markets where sufficient daily volume exists to easily and consistently execute orders. You can take a Free Option Trading Workshop near your area to get a better idea of the Option trading systems and even choose a couple.
