We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided.

Imitate the chameleon, for survival often depends upon the
ability to rapidly adapt to change. To do less is to be at

Enhance Performance on Windows XP

If you have installed Windows XP on older hardware and
want to improve your overall performance, you can do so
by disabling some of the less-needed features like the
sliding menus.

Here's how:

Right click "My Computer" and select "Properties".
Click the "Advanced" tab.
Under "Performance", click the "Settings" button.
Click the button labeled "Adjust for best performance"
to deselect any resource intensive features.
Click "OK" and enjoy your faster, more responsive
Windows XP system.

"Success Programming"
By Randy Gage
http://www.prosperityweekend.net/

I was behind a one-armed man at the sub shop. He was
complaining about the fact that the lady cut the tip
off of the bread she was making his sandwich on.

The attendant explained that they cut the bread exactly,
so regular subs are six inches long, and large are 12.
He kept whining about the 1/4 inch tip she had cut off.
She explained that he would receive the same standard
portion of meat and other fillings. He wasn't impressed.

In fact when the sandwich came out, he insisted that he
wouldn't pay for it unless they found the tip she had cut
off, toasted it, and put it in the bag. Standing behind
him, with my blood sugar dropping, and my blood pressure
rising, it was all I could do to refrain from smacking
him upside the head. Of course he left without leaving
a tip. I watched him get behind the wheel of a taxi parked
in front and begin his dining experience.

So what kind of success programming do you think he had?

I bet he's proud of himself for cadging that extra bite of
toast. In fact, I'm sure he sat in that taxi, congratulating
himself for his assertiveness and savvy consumerism.

What do you think about his priorities, and where he expends
his energy?

Is he focused on abundance or lack?

It's a similar kind of situation with you. I think the
programming you've had is what determines your approach to
just about everything in life. But instead of being
programmed for success-most people are programmed to avoid
failure.

Now perhaps you think I make too much of our cab driver's
thriftiness. I think not. Your programming controls how you
react to hundreds of situations, each and every day. And the
way you react reveals what your programming really is.

Another example . . .

How do you think about money?

When you think about money, is it about how much of it you
lack, or how much you can manifest? And why you want to
manifest it.

Most poor people spend all their time thinking about money.
Or more specifically, their lack of it. When I was younger
and broke, that is what I did. I was fixated on money all
the time. I thought about all the things I didn't have and
couldn't get. And I was very jealous of the people who had
them.

Know where that led to?

Jealousy soon turned to hate. Soon I hated all rich people
because they had what I wanted.

Nice homes. Exotic cars. Expensive clothes. They could go
to a restaurant and order what they really wanted. And not
worry about who would pick up the check.

That's when the real problems started . . .

Because I hated rich people. But I was working hard every
day trying to become one. So that set the stage for a whole
bunch of internal conflict that I had no idea was going on.

So I would surge forward to success-only to sabotage myself
every time I got close. I snatched defeat from the jaws of
victory more times than I can count.

I thought I was programmed for success, but that wasn't
true. I was programmed for poverty, but acting for success.

The symptoms are always there, if you know what to look
for . . .

Ever see someone who experiences more anguish at losing $10,
than the joy he gets from earning $100?

Someone orders his dinner at a restaurant and the waitress
asks, "Would you like a salad with that?"

The correct answer is "yes" or "no" but never, "Is it
included in the price?"

Ever see someone who drives around a parking lot for five
minutes-to save a one-minute walk to the store?

All of these scenarios have the same plot line: They are
fear-based, not abundance-based. Decisions are made not on
what the possible benefits are - but in order to avoid a
possible negative outcome.

Now the question for a lot of people is, "How do I really
know what kind of programming I have?"

They want to know if they really have success programming,
or just success surface actions. The answer is in the
questions above.

If you make decisions-particularly money and career ones-
based on the moving away from fear model-you've got poverty
programming.

If you make decisions on a positive, move toward good model,
then you have true success programming.

So what do you do if you test poverty programming?

Well you're already doing it. Of particular importance is
regulating the influence you're getting from the TV shows
and movies you watch, books you read, etc.

And the other area is the people who are closest to you.
Your "Sacred Circle" of the five people you are the closest
to. It's crucial to your success that you have some positive
people in the five to support you.

One of the biggest factors in your prosperity is the people
that you associate with. Of particular note is your Sacred
Circle. These are the five people that you are the closest
to.

I believe that the people you allow to make up this group
are so instrumental to your prosperity consciousness, that
they truly become sacred to your prosperity path. They color
your goals, expectations, and what you believe is capable
and possible for you.

Be honest with yourself, would you describe what you now
have as a Sacred Circle, or a "Rancid Ring?" Who are the
five people in the group closest to you now?

Can you think of two or three new people that you currently
know, that you can actively work at developing a deeper
relationship, and bring into your circle?

[The Lighter Side Of Life - Jokes & Humor]

A Swiss man asks directions of two Americans on a street.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks.

The Americans just stare at him.

Next he tries, "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?"

Still no response. "Parlare Italiano?" Again, nothing.

"Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Not a word from the Americans.

Disgusted, the Swiss guy leaves. The first American says
to the second, "Maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why bother?" the second replies, "That guy knew four
languages, and it didn't help him!"

"Backup Your Data on Windows XP"
By Ralph Moore (c)2004

If you have moved to the Windows XP operating system, but
have yet to take that important step of backing up your
data, here is a simple way to insure that your information
will be safe.

Windows XP Professional includes an excellent backup utility
that is installed by default.

(Here is yet another reason that I recommend to my all of my
customers that they always opt for the professional version
of any Microsoft operating system.)

For some reason, the folks at Redmond have decided that if
you're not running a business, then backing up your data
must not be all that important to you.

To install the included backup utility on the Windows XP
Home edition installation CD, navigate to the following
folders: "VALUEADD" / "MSFT" / "NTBACKUP". Then double
click "NTBACKUP.MSI" and follow the directions in the
wizard.

If you are still running Windows 98 (and many people are)
you can follow this procedure to install the MS backup
utility:

Click "Start" / "Settings" / "Control Panel". Double click
"Add / Remove Programs" and click "Windows Setup". Next,
click "System Tools" / "Details", then click "Backup"
and finally click "OK" twice.

Once you have installed the utility, it is a simple process
to begin backing up your data to a safe location.

To backup your files, go to "Start" / "(All) Programs" /
"Accessories" / "System Tools" / "Backup".

You can choose to backup everything or just select some
individual files. You can also set up a schedule to make
regular backups.

I recommend a combination of both. Set up a schedule to
make backups of important files on a regular basis, and
then backup your entire system from time to time.

If you happen to have a second hard drive on your computer,
then that is the first place that I recommend using for
your backups. Or if you have another machine on your home
or business network, that would be my second choice.

You can also elect to back up to CD, DVD, tape, ZIP or
even floppy drives if the size of the media will hold the
files to be backed up.

I do NOT recommend backing up to a separate directory on
the same hard drive where the source files are located.

Doing this will only assure that you will lose everything
whenever the hard drive decides to fail. And remember, it
WILL eventually fail.

Since large capacity hard drives are now available at such
low prices, many people are starting to use them instead of
tape drives for their primary backup media.

If you often need to move large amounts of data to a remote
location, you might want to consider an external hard drive.

Another option for backing up several computers is the use
of an external CD or DVD writer. Just remember that all of
the machines need to support the method of restoring your
files should the need arise.

In other words, if you backup one machine to DVD, you will
need to have a DVD reader installed on the other machine in
order to read the disks.

Whenever you are making backups, one thing to consider is
that sometimes a backup may contain corrupt files. In order
to insure that you always have access to your data, you
need to keep multiple backups and if possible keep at least
one copy of your data "off site" to prevent loss due to a
fire or other physical loss, such as water damage or theft.

The most important part of any backup system is that it is
easy enough to do that you will actually take time to make
the backup on a regular basis.

And the second most important part of the system is your
ability to restore the data when necessary. I highly
recommend testing your backup system from time to time,
by restoring a file from your backup and testing it to
see that the data can be read.

With Windows XP's backup utility and built-in scheduler,
there's really no excuse for not taking the time today
to protect your data.

Invest a few minutes today, to avoid spending thousands of
dollars tomorrow, recovering the critical information that
lies at the heart of your successful business.
