Seduction secret
"life seduction is the most fun you can have with your pants on"
Enticing people to want to help us is not achieved by selling others on your brillance, it's about revealing the brilliance we find in others. It's about being the mirror in which others can see why they are valued and important.
Life seduction is a game, play it well and have some fun!

Winners and losers
"life is too much fun not to make more mistakes"
It often occurs to me that we do a lot of damage by labeling people and our actions as losers. Just because something or someone fails doesn't mean it is bad. It is only through mistakes and failures that we really learn. We only win by trying and no one wins all of the time. So I'm thinking we should encourage failure. Fail early, fail often equals learn early and learn often. The only time it hurts us pernamently is when we don't learn from the mistake.
"to continually beat yourself up over a past mistake is cruelty to a dumb animal"
I wrote that line some months ago but it still cracks me up. We've all been dumb animals at times. Man is the only animal that continually beats himself up over a mistake. An animal in the wild if it makes a mistake either pays for it with it's life or learns a valuable survival lesson. In the animal world you either learn or you die. Good thing for us we get many chances we screw up. Good thing for us we can learn the lesson from a mistake and profit from our bad judgement.
So the only question is....what glorious magnificient mistake will I make next? What if, the bigger my mistake, the bigger my lesson and the bigger my profit?
"challenge yourself to the point of failure"
That's exactly what athletes and the very best entrepeneurs do. They push themsleves and their companies until something fails. That's the only way they can know what is possible and what isn't. So then failure reveals the truth they need to know. Then it longer is try, try again. It then becomes..try different. Or as WC Fields once said...
"try, try again and if it still doesn't work..quit. No sense be a damn fool about it"

The truth about conformity
This quote has hung above my desk for 20 years. It has been my guide all of those years. Enjoy..
"The man who follows the crowd,
will usually get no further than the crowd.
The man who walks alone is likely to find himself
in places no one has ever been before.
Creativity in living is not without
it's attendant difficiulties
for peculiarity breeds contempt.
The unfortunate thing about being
ahead of your time is that
when people finally realize
your were right, they'll say
it was obvious all along.
You have two choices:
you can dissolve into the mainstream
or you can be distinct.
To be distinct you must be different
To be different, you must strive to be
what no one else but you can be"

Are you having any fun?
"Don't just do something, have some fun while you are at it"
To some serious types having fun is frivilous. How silly is that? Fun isn't something you'll get around to when the work is done or the money made. You need not earn the right to have fun. There is nothing you need to do nor buy to have fun.
How advertising has fooled you?
The marketing genius have convinced the masses that happiness is a purchase away. You'll be happy and have fun if you only just buy the latest iphone, ipod, new car or take a southern cruise. They portray the poor unhappy soul who has no date and then sell you on all the fun you'll have when you join their dating site. Buy, buy, buy and you will have fun and be happy.
The truth is....
You were born to have fun! It is your natural state. Possessions are only momentary moments of happiness. Yesterdays treasures will become tomorrows junk. You can have fun vacuuming the floor, walking around the neighborhood or helping a neighbor. Crank up the stereo, do a dance and sing along. Go ahead nobodys watching and if they are...so what? Fun is little more than a one little decision away.
"its not my inner child I'm afraid of losing contact with...it's my outer adult"
If you've forgotten how to be child like, then go borrow a kid. Oh, you can call it babysitting if you like but those little tykes will teach you how to have fun again. Life is too short to live with boredom! And never forget what that famous best selling author said...
"anything is possible if you can have fun doing it"
Guru Eduardo
P.S. Ok I'll grant you I'm not famous nor a best selling author (yet)

Give peace a chance
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace" (Jimi Hendrix)
"An eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind" (Mohandes Gandhi)
I found a zillion good quotes about peace but I still don't think anyone said it better than John Lennon in his song....Imagine
"Imagine all the people
living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope one day you'll join us
and the world will be as one..
All I am is saying
is give peace a chance..
That song still gives me goose bumps!
Peace friends
Guru Eduardo
