<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We have all been taught
about the value of giving a first impression. Yet we have all heard
stories or even experienced the value of second chances. Yet , it
seems most are stuck on that first impression idealism. Of course
until it happens to us.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>First Impressions
Revisited</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The value of being
openminded and being predisposed to giving second chances. I once had
a nice boss who admitted I was too good to be true. That was his
first impression. One day he called me into his office after a half
year on the job. The conversation went something like this. He
confessed his first impression. Then, he admitted testing seven days
to forever. Next he admitted I passed every test he could imagine.
To his dismay his first impression was right and wrong at the same
time. I was too good but it was true. In fact he wasted his time
testing me.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The moral of the story</b></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Give people a chance
especially if you want someone to give you that same chance. In fact
my first impression was he was a hardass and possibly a jerk. He
proved me wrong, so I guess it was a reciprocal situation. He proved
to be personable and honest. So, it went both ways. Though he never
stopped testing me, I never stopped testing him. Despite it all we
remained friends. Why, because we kept giving each other second
chances.</div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I used to cringe when some
someone spouted the words “Same Difference”. Then my world
opened up and I began to become exposed to different cultures and
religions. And what I found was we shared much of the same ideals
and yes same differences.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Are We Really That
different?</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
No we are not. We all are
individuals with hopes and dreams. We want the best for ourselves and
our families. Think about it, what more is there really?
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Yes There Are Differences</b></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What we
have to think about are they really major? (I'm not talking about the
ISIS situation) My Facebook and Twitter communities span the globe.
We share and speak our minds in a friendly way. Actually both abound
with positivity. And we share one thing respect and friendship. And I
have to say I don't see that all the time in the communities I live
and have lived in. Which makes you wonder why.</div>

whether are not they are ones we are working for. Their called “Life
Shifts”. They can not only compliment changes we want but they can
be of their own doing. As many times as not they can be for the
positive.</div>

<b>Mindset</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It can set the tone for how
these changes affect you, your life and those around you. Another
word for mindset is perception. How you perceive change can make all
the difference in the world. Of course judging too soon can be
detrimental to the change process.</div>

<b>My Friend</b></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
He had a good life for him
where he was, but as is human nature he wasn't satisfied. Mainly,
because during the years things changed around him and he refused to
accept them. So, he moved in search of the things that once made him
happy. He never gave the change a chance thus never finding the
happiness he longed for. Now, he is moving again. Again looking to
create change to find the same things he lost. While I wish him well
he somewhere along the line to has come to terms with not only his
own changes but the life shifts that will take place around him. If

We need to have a handle on
ourselves even when things are spiraling out of control. It's called
being self-centric. And applied properly that's a good thing. For
the record it has no relation to being self-centered the selfish
thing. It's more like an improvisational dancer where it's about the
dance and the person performing.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">A mood of positivity can
be shattered by one word of negativity. If you let it. Sure you have
to dig deep but it's worth it. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Worth is the key. Hanging
true to your self worth will take you far. Have belief in your value!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>I had a dream</b></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I
dreamt that I had a landlord who remodeled the place I was in
splitting it up into new apartments. Also in the dream I was in the
midst of making a break through in my own life. My self belief and
worth got me through in this dream. I held on to that personal
positivity to get though.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Not
really, it was not only the reflection of reality but a test of my
self worth. You see the reality of what I am carried through into my
dreamtime dilemma. My daily flow of positivity filtered into what one
might have called a nightmare. In truth it ended up pretty well in
the end.</span></div>

<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes
you are the key. Work at defeating negative thoughts. I was one said
too me “if you can't embrace the positive, then don't you don't
have the right to criticize.” Make yourself find the good before
you address the bad. It's there all you have to do is use your inner
positivity to change your mindset. </span>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We start with positive
intentions, but things go wrong. It may seem to be negative because
of the originating positivity. But maybe we should stop and think on
it. Why, because the deeper we look the more our perspectives might
just change.</div>

<b>Behind The Scenes </b>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The research, planning and
effort are powerhouses toward turning negativity into positivity.
You're thinking, “Hows that possible?” Was the research good and
well conducted? Was the plan well organized? Did you give it full
and complete effort? The answers to those questions will teach us
something positive. That is if we are truthful with ourselves.</div>

<b>The MLM Seminar</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My friend Tom brought me to
a seminar about a multilevel marketing system backed by a major well
known communication company at the time. The usual took place with
presentations by leaders. They spoke the usual talk about the money
they had made and to yet be made. I had been involved in one or two
before and found a glaring flaw in their plan. The upside was just
joining meant being able to save money on your phone bill no matter
what. The hundred dollar investment paid for itself and more. That
alone made it worthwhile. So I did join up and saved three times the
value over a course of the year. Afterwards I explained the flaws in
their plan I learned from experience to my friend. He lectured me on
how my negativity was bringing him down and how he needed not discuss
it anymore until he worked their plan. Weeks later Tom owned up, I
was right. Since he didn't have a phone his investment was lost. He
learned not only to listen to experience, but better understood the
downside of the MLM program. The positivity comes from his learning
to get the full story and all the facts before throwing into any such
program because they won't give you a balance picture at any
presentation.</div>

<b>The Key</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Lessons are to be taken away
no matter the outcome. That is the least that can happen to turn
negativity into positivity.</div>

Sometimes
it's a feeling or the course of the day and the urge toward
willingness is blocked. The obstacle is self made and it's up to you
and me the individual to open ourselves to willingness. And there
are reasons that we can achieve this on our own.</div>

We tend
to view blocks as solids such as rocks or brickwalls. In reality
they are smoke or fog which can be addressed with a mental fan. The
kind of mental fan is one that suits you bests at that particular
time and place. The fan is made up by your change in perception. Make
the undoable doable by opening ourselves to willingness.</div>

We all know the world is in
constant motion on many different levels. The two differing
celestial levels. Revolving around the Sun and rotating while
journeying on its path. It's not just the planet it's the lifeforms
on it up to and including the ones designated as people. I used to
live in a place where the living room had this giant street level
picture window.

<b>On my rocker</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Well actually, in my
office/lounge chair I would watch as people went pass. Some on foot.
Others by car, motorcycle or even bicycle. Some alone with the look
of determination. Others conversing with a companion or two. And yes
there were the obligatory drivers on cellphone talking and or texting
along. All with their own agendas oblivious to all round them and
particularly if you ever asked one of them oblivious to me watching.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>It's a scientific fact</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A person can only process up
to two instances unfolding around them. If you don't believe that
have three or four people talk to you at the same time about
different subjects. Even for the most acute the most one can process
of the four is two. Many who do will have inaccuracies in the
recounting of those conversations.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Back at the picture
window</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I was seeing what was really
parts of many things as a whole. From there I would even grasps bits
of knowledge and create little stories and articles as a whole. All
the while was world was spinning as it paced itself around the Sun.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The point</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We all have the vision into
the world thru that big picture window of our own choosing. And even
if we are looking at the same thing, somehow our collections will
vary and yet still have degree of accuracy.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Why because it's all
subjective to your personal perception. And at times that's colored
by our interpretations sometimes called opinion. Now think a moment.
This rotating roundish ball of mud and other such things racing
through space contains millions or may billions of these perceptions
and opinions taking place at one time at any given moment. Now armed
with this knowledge do you think you can spare a moment to create a
perception or form an opinion on how you can express a creative way
to make someone else's day just a little bit better at any particular
time you perceive would be just the right time? Look out the
picuture window of your choosing and think about it.<br />

He who hesitates when seeing
someone in need often regrets their own lack of action. That
statement is not only a truism but it is also a proven common daily
event. And the question is why?</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>A pattern of behavior</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Studies have been performed
that prove the more people present and witness a situation in a
person needs assistance the less likely someone will step forward to
help. People will film or take pictures of the event but they won't
lend a hand to help the person in trouble.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>A sad show of reality</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I recently took a course
centering on human behavior. In one lecture section we were shown a
video of an elderly person crossing a busy street. There was quite a
few pedestrians present. The person was hit by a car and continued to
lay in the way of the flowing traffic. People can be seen watching
and pointing before turning away. Cars would continue on jockeying
around the victim lying in the street. A couple of cars nicked the
person stopped for a few seconds then continued on. Even more
startling was the person filming the event was close enough to take
action but instead continued to record it. Did the victim live or
die? It appeared no one present seem to care.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>In opposition</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A similar event was shown.
It was also filmed. The difference was the was only one person other
than the cameraman on the scene. That person without hesitation
rushed out halted traffic and began to give assistance to the victim.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>The facts</b></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We were assured neither
event was staged. As I noted studies have been conducted to back up
the reality behind both events being established patterns in human
behavior. That brings up some questions about those who took the
course which includes myself and you who are reading this
presentation. Unlike the course I chose to start off with the Ralph
Waldo Emerson quote. For those that took the course will you if
encountering a situation where a person is in need be more inclined
to buck the trend and offer assistance no matter what? For those of
you who read this piece including the quote, with this knowledge will
you create change and enact a show of kindness.</div>
