Role Model? 007?

In order to achieve the best possible results, I find that emulating someone or wanting what someone else has works well as a starting point. Who did I choose? None other than "i shoot everything in sight and seduce good looking women" James Bond, aka as 007.

Just look at the guy. It doesnt even matter that its only a movie...no. The picture here shows Daniel Craig as a guy with two fairly...hot?...women next to him. This is real, no movie here. But I am digressing because it really isnt all about the women. Its about the lifestyle that his character enjoys when he is not out killing anyone who stands in his way or tries to screw with him. Its the haute lifestyle!!!

The last two Bond films (Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace) really protray the lifestyle of those who succeeded in life. Not so much the 'villians' because they did not really play the rules to do so; the locations/cars/fine dining are the mainstay of elegant living and working hard to achieve those things. He travels by private jet, drives Astin Martins, stays in luxury hotels, and parades around in stylish suits. Again, just a movie, BUT there are legitimate persons in this world who have afforded themselves these lux accomodations.

Sure...there are individuals who prefer the simple life and can do without travelling etc..., but I am not one of these people. Would I be happy with a simple life? Yes. Do I want to achieve more and not stop at easy? Absolutely.

Plane and Simple...

Over the past year or so, many a thought has occured to me that always ended with "?". Why a question mark? Simply put, uncertainty about a variety of subjects were hard to answer with a solid answer; even if it was right under my feet. And that got me pondering even more...is the answer really always simple and if it was, would the world have any problems at all?

So I said "enough answering questions with another question and just get right to the point everytime and never say never!" Most importantly, do not take 'no' for an answer.

That being said, I have adopted some very simple yet oh, so powerful mission statements that wise men and woman once uttered. If spoken to oneself even just once a day, they help you forge through tough times that you feel may never resolve themselves:

1) Never say "never"
2) If you want something bad enough, it can be yours
3) Hard work ALWAYS pays off

In regards to hard work, you need to remember that it may not pay off immediately or for the very desire your working for. You may very well fail from time to time, and though it pains me to say it...oh well. You pick yourself up and move on to the next task at hand and work hard at that. You never know who is watching and who is taking note!!!




Much Success,
