Pay attention to the chart. Everytime you choose a new number, the chart changes……but all the multiples of 9 will have the same symbol…..any 2 digits when subtracted with the total of its numbers {28 : 2 + 8 = 10; so 28 – 10 = 18 (a multiple of 9)} will give u the multiple of 9.

A Little Inspirational Story To Share.......

A Magic Lesson To Success

There was some time ago, in a city, there lived a couple who have a comfortable life. Both of them are living happily married. They have a secure job, own a house, car and those common needs you can imagine.

Basically, this couple does not need to worry much about their financial or relationship needs. But after living the same life style for years, they realized that their life seems to be so routine! It is so predictable that it seems like something is missing for both of them.

Everyday, they wake up in the morning, go to work, come back from work, go home, eat dinner (sometimes they have to dine outside) watch tv, wash car and go back to sleep. The normal, typical daily stuff. With the money they earned everyday, it would not be possible for them to go on vacation overseas a lot, go safaris in Africa or take flying lessons. You know, the lifestyle of the richer group for whom spending money is not a main concern.

What is missing!!? Their passion in life….

This is because they have not sought the passion in their life and with their current financial situation, this is the type of enjoyment they can afford to spend on.

So one day, the wife voiced out that she has had enough; enough is enough of this meaningless life, they need to find their passion in life, to enjoy life to the fullest and be better off financially. They know they can achieve more, but do not know why they are not achieving more. Achieving does not mean that they have to be millionaires, but in every other aspects of life. The husband agreed, and so they set off to find a better lifestyle and seek the passion for their life.

And amazingly, the husband is told by a successful friend of his, that there is a magical success guru living in a far, far away land, on top of the highest mountain where there is a cave. The guru lives in that cave.

The husband is excited with this news, and so after much discussion with his wife, they make a decision. They decide to seek advice from the guru for the secrets of success. They take their company leaves, save some money for traveling and off they go.

After months of searching high and low with their determination to seek the answer, finally they find the mountain where the guru lives.

Excited as they are, they make their climbs to the peak of the mountain. It is very
hard and tedious, but it is worth the effort. Finally, they are at the peak.

Overseeing the view of the world from the top of the mountain, they feel so confident and a peace of mind. Now, their task is to find the guru. The hard part is:

Where could he be? They think.

Suddenly, they see an old man, sitting at the end of the mountain rock. It seems very dangerous to sit there, because anyone can fall off anytime down the mountain and break all the bones. Of course, anyone who falls off will probably end up dead with broken bones.

So, the wife whispers to the guru, 'Excuse me, old man, are you the magical success guru that helps people to be successful?'

The guru seems not to be hearing her whisper. He is still sitting quietly at the end of the mountain rock without any movement.

The wife whispers again. Then, the old man turns around and stands up at the end of the mountain rock. This is even more dangerous now, because anyone can lose balance and fall off!

'Be careful, o'wise guru! You can fall down from the mountain rock if you stand so near at the end of the edge!' they warn.

But the guru simply ignores what they say. In fact, he replies, 'If you want to speak with me and learn from me, you have to come closer. Come and stand beside me at the end of the mountain rock, my students-to-be.'

If they want to learn the secrets of success from the guru, they have to follow his instruction. With a lot of fear, they come close to the guru. Now, the Guru is standing in the middle with both of them standing on the left and right side of the Guru. All 3 of them are facing outwards of the mountain, they are facing the down slope of the mountain over looking the top of the world . They can fall down the mountain at any time if they are not careful. The husband's and wife's hearts are panting non-stop.

At this moment they feel so different, a feeling they never felt before, peace of mind and yet full of anxiety. Looking down the land, they feel really confident.

And also a little bit afraid of falling off. It will break their bones if they fall down the mountain.

The husband is thinking, 'Now what?'.

So, he asks the guru the million-dollar question,

'What is the secret of success, o'wise guru?'

The guru just smiles at them and replies, 'Look at the world beyond below, from here.'

Following the instruction, both of them did as instructed, looking at the world from the top of the mountain. They can see almost everything from the peak of the mountain.

Suddenly, the guru pushes them off the mountain peak!! Unbelievable!
(Sad conclusion??)

Both of them fall.

When they fall, with so much fear of death, suddenly, they realize that they can fly! And they fly…… because they have forgotten that they can fly all this while...........

Anthony Robbins

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
Anthony Robbins

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Anthony Robbins

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
Anthony Robbins

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.
Anthony Robbins

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
Anthony Robbins

Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!
Anthony Robbins

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
Anthony Robbins

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
Anthony Robbins

Action is the foundational key to all success.
Anthony Robbins

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustrations were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.
Anthony Robbins

It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.
Anthony Robbins

Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, 'Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.'
Anthony Robbins

Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. Experience is usually the result of bad judgement.
Anthony Robbins

What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.
Anthony Robbins

The truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if:
Anthony Robbins

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.
Anthony Robbins

I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.
Anthony Robbins

We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
Anthony Robbins

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events -- how we interpret them -- that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.
Anthony Robbins

It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
Anthony Robbins

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
Anthony Robbins

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.
Anthony Robbins

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
Anthony Robbins

Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.
Anthony Robbins

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.
Anthony Robbins

All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.
Anthony Robbins

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
Anthony Robbins

It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.
Anthony Robbins

More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.
Anthony Robbins

The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without firs taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.
Anthony Robbins

You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
Anthony Robbins

Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.
Anthony Robbins

Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.
Anthony Robbins

You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving,
1. You're willing to take massive action,
2. You notice what's working or not, and
3. You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way.
Anthony Robbins

We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Anthony Robbins

If you can't, you must. If you must, you can.
Anthony Robbins

Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.
Anthony Robbins
