Having gone through at least five banks in the 90's, I was trained and heard many many "inspirational" banking managers. In 1997 or so, I heard a pep talk by one of these sales managers, and his talk inspired me! He started by saying... "you know when someone tells you...someday...you'll have this, you'll get that, you'll finally accomplish this, and that...does someday ever really come? Please write this in you folders...SOMEDAY NEVER COMES! I also quoted him when he said "you don't find yourself, you MAKE yourself!". Needless to say, that talk inspired me forever. I am not going to get too specific on my real estate successes, but let me just tell you...I've owned many houses, made lots of money, and have helped countless people since 1997. Last year, feeling like I can conquer another industry, the music industry, I started a rock band, called xxrub, and I produced, mixed, and wrote most of the music to our album called "Someday Never Comes". It is on itunes and myspace.com/xxrub. As far as CCR's song, I have never heard of it and had no clue that someone else had a song called "SNC". Anyway I also do inspirational talks, and I'm working on a novel and a "sales" self-help book as well. All because I believe that "someday never comes"! ---Robert Calixto robertcalisto@hotmail.comrobertcalixtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843460979150140381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026729.post-1161877266506672102006-10-26T08:41:00.000-07:002006-10-26T08:41:00.000-07:00Don't you think though that it's also made us a li...Don't you think though that it's also made us a little lazier about keeping up with people in the real world? I find myself keeping up with "strangers" than my real friends who are a phone call away. It's odd because, although I never used to be a phone person, I was never that lazy keeping up with people and I find something like MSN gives me more free time to spend on my own... but that's just it, on my own. I find I tend to withdraw myself from the world a little more and feel less like really interacting with people. I don't know... maybe that's just me. But the whole debate you wrote about has always been something that has worried me for a while, and hopefully that will stop me from becoming a hermit altogether!Lunar Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883451808971084772noreply@blogger.com
