Something To Think About

Normally, I hate math because I seem to manage making 1+1=3. LOL Anyway, I got this from a fellow bizpreneur member (http://bizpreneur.com/anncie) and thought it was pretty neat.

This is fascinating. Be sure to go all the way to the end.
Absolutely amazing!
The Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
Brilliant, isn't it?And look at this symmetry:
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Now, take a look at this...101%
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer thesequestions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And:
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But:
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just the way I did.

Gratitude

I have a lot to be grateful for this week. :-) Every once in awhile when really nice events come along and brightens up my day, I'm grateful for it coming my way.

Some of you may know that I like to wish people the best of success, congratulate a success, and any news that's wonderful news is responded with "Awesome!!" or "Cool!!" :-) I went on a conference call given by Ali Brown which had some great guest speakers. They talked about how they got started in their business and then how Ali helped them propel their business to new heights. One of the guest speakers was Allen Voivod whose website I saw before I went on the call. Their website intrigued me and I read their blog as well. So, I had the pleasure of hearing his voice on the call and thought what a "down to earth" kind of guy. He shared his story on how he and his wife used to write love letters to each other and that turned into their business EpiphaniesInc.com. I don't know what it was but I felt a connection listening to him and he made me laugh (always good in my book!).

I subscribed to get their newsletter called The Inciter and was very impressed with it can now I can't wait to read the next one. :-) I emailed Allen and Lani to tell them what I thought of the newsletter, that I was on the call where he was a guest speaker, and to wish them much happiness with their new bundle of joy due in the next couple of weeks. I was even so bold, but truly from the heart, shared some advice on the new baby as I'm a Mom myself. You know how all Moms love to give advice, lol.

I figured I would get an email back saying thank you for the baby wishes and for liking the newsletter. I did, and so much more that I had tears in my eyes. They featured me on their blog with such kind words and appreciation, that I showed my family and they were happy for me. I'd like to share it with you and hope that you'll enjoy enjoy Lani and Allen's blog too. :-) They truly are a special couple and very inspiring and I'm glad to have found them.
