Right or Wrong ...........?

Canada & USA Need A Leader Like This!

**Prime Minister John Howard - Australia**

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law
were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia ,
as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head
off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims
on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies
monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote:
'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.
Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying
about whether we are offending some individual or their
culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have
experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority
of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries
of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men
and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese,
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society
Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some
Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because
Christian men and women, on Christian principles,
founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.

It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls
of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as your new home,
because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why.
All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony
and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE,
and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping
about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our
Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one
other great Australian freedom,


'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force
you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the
country YOU accepted.'


Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves,
American and Canadian citizens will find the
backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

Make it a great weekend!

Hello and good day to you. It is our wish here at Prestige, that 2009 brings your family much Love, Joy and Happiness. I hope this year finds you walking closer in your relationship with God, your spouse and children. I hope this year finds you regaining control of your finances and put the steps in place, if they are not already, that finds you giving & saving first and then spending it last. We tend to want to spend or money first and worry about trying to save or give what's left. I know I'm making changes and I hope you do also. I hope you awake each day realizing all the blessing you have and a little less worrying about what's lacking. About a year ago I heard a saying that said "The more I am grateful for, the more I have to be grateful for". Always know you are loved and special - God does not make Junk. We may find ourselves in a position of feeling unworthy, but God loves us just as we are. He is always available to talk, you don't have to be in a church to speak with God. Take 5-15 minutes right now of quite time and call out his name in prayer, he only wants your heart and love. Let this be the day you start releasing the weight of the world and give it over to him. Give up this need to be and do all "God I can't do this, but you can". It is in this time your world will start to change and the blessing of the heavens will begin to align to see good things happen in your favor. It will happen in Gods time, not yours, but it will happen and you won't have to feel like it's up to you to work. God bless you and your family!

DESIRE / MOTIVATION

DESIRE / MOTIVATION

Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a “must” and a “want”.

The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, “I wish someone would come by and turn me on.” What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life…

When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.

Patriotic Horse Finds A Home At Veterans’ Park

OCALA - About 40 people attended the unveiling of a sculpture at the Marion County Veterans Memorial Park on Friday. While the upcoming election was a hot topic for those asked to speak, the gathering mainly commemorated the veterans of Ocala and Marion County.

The day was windy and clear, and for most of the hour-long program, a blue tarp covered the sculpture.
Called "Hero," the horse-shaped sculpture is similar to the statues in Horse Fever, the public art exhibition organized in Ocala several years ago.
Chris Spears, owner of Prestige Auto Sales, commissioned the artwork after he saw local artist Kim Samson's contribution to Horse Fever, "Old Glory," another patriotically-themed horse sculpture. He called Samson a "good friend and customer."

"When I called Kim, her heart jumped out at the chance," Spears said.
Samson painted stars and stripes, the Department of Defense seal and other symbols of patriotism on "Hero."

Marion County community resources bureau chief Lee Niblock introduced several government officials, including U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Dist. 6) and city of Ocala mayor Randy Ewers.

"In a few days, we're going to elect a new president. Many people don't have these liberties," Ewers said of the right to vote, and thanked veterans for preserving it.

Niblock also reminded the audience of the upcoming election as he praised veterans' service to the country. He held up a sample ballot. "To honor those who couldn't be here because they made the ultimate sacrifice, please go vote," he said.

After the speakers made remarks, Niblock asked the crowd to count down from 10. As they did, the tarp slowly came off the statue as the Spears family and Marion County and Ocala officials gathered in front. They cut a large red ribbon when the crowd made it to "one" and began to applaud.

The side of the horse facing Northeast 25th Avenue shows six local veterans. The third veteran on the left is Dewy Roberson, 85, who served in the U.S. Air Force. He volunteers at the park, and said he hopes the horse draws more people to visit. Samson painted his portrait from a photo Roberson gave to her. "Finest thing it could be," Roberson said of the result. He posed for a snapshot with family members next to the horse.

Spears' young daughter, Savannah, named the horse "Hero," picking it from a list of ideas he gave her.

Thought For The Day!

LEADERSHIP

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on good people.

Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.

Leaders, whether in the family, in business, in government, or in education, must not allow themselves to mistake intentions for accomplishments.

Learn to help people with more than just their jobs; help them with their lives.

Overcome Negativity!

Overcome Negativity

We must all wage an intense, lifelong battle against the constant downward pull. If we relax, the bugs and the weeds of negativity will move into the garden and take away everything of value.

Humility is a virtue, timidity is a disease.

If you spend five minutes complaining, you have just wasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, it won’t be long before they haul you out to a financial desert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret.

You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in your garden. You’ve got to hate weeds enough to kill them. Weeds are not something you handle; weeds are something you devastate.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." -- Teddy Roosevelt

BASIC FUNDAMENTALS

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.

There are no new fundamentals. You’ve got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, “I’ve got a new fundamental.” That’s like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques.

Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn’t going to get the job done.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
