Hi Gambini
You live in SA, what areas are still growing over there … or have we missed the boat?

Tempest tossed souls, wherever you may be, under whatever conditions you may live, know this:

In the ocean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the core of your soul reclines the comanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him.

Hi Nadine.

All of the above, plus…

Something to ponder: Entrepreneurs are by definition inventors, lateral thinkers, innovators, people who brake the rules, go against the trend and against popular wisdom.

In post ’90ties depression’ era I “discovered” Regional NSW and the fact that I could buy houses for 60-80K and rent them for 150 plus. I…[Read more]

What I personally find much more hard to swallow is the foreign aid sent to countries that are notoriously corrupt. There we are funding the swimming pool of foreign “dignitaries”. .. and I am sorry for using such anachronism.
I rather deal with the real or perceived inequality of public spending then to se our hard earned dollars wasted in some…[Read more]

Aussie, your use and interpretation of the scriptures is amazing. What denomination do you subscribe to? The pick and choose?

When I have no intention to discuss Christian doctrine here, to say that prosperity is wrong since Jesus did not pursue a career, is as valid as to say carpentry is bad since Jesus gave it up.

You are throwing concepts…[Read more]

what are YOU doing to try and make the public school system better?? what are YOU doing to try and make a great education possible for everyone? (not just kids with access to money)

why did you with a gifted child have to make a greater sacrifice than a rich person with a gifted child???

the point is that it doesn’t have to be this…[Read more]

“People want to believe in magic, and if that magic can also save them from working and thinking, they gladly pay good money for it.”

The above is certainly true… and it is equaly true when refered to what we beleive.

HOW LOW CAN WE GO?

Using a sophisticated mathematical model, University of Montreal exercise physiologist Francois Peronnet and colleague Guy Thibault predicted in 1989 what the world records would be in future years for various races. So far, they’ve proven pretty accurate.

Wez, you nailed it this time in more ways than one.

You “accuse” Lucifer to think at Bill Gates’ level.
Bingo !! That is exactly what I am talking about.
How can you succeed if you think small? The short answer is you cannot.
Aim at the Sun and you may get off the ground. “Be realistic” is guaranteed to make you a loser.
Do you think that Helen…[Read more]

Poor is good, spiritual, generous, popular…
Rich is bad, greedy, materialist, scrooge, hated…
Now that is a novel thought, where did I hear that before [confused2].
What is your source Kay? … the movie Titanic?

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Celvia, I think my post is self explanatory.
If you want an aswer, ask specific questions.

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

I send my 4 offsprings to Grammar School and proudly so. The choice for me was just not there, the public school alternative was a gigantic step backwards.

From many responses it seems that people think that the only difference between private schools and public schools is the amount of money available.

I disagree, more money to public schools…[Read more]

Grega, can you be more specific?
Give as much detail as you possibly can, not saying you advertise here to sell but if you want answers, you must tickle the curiosity.

Too small? Too big? A house? Apartment? Farm?
What price? Where? What sold nearby and at what price?

May God prosper you always.[biggrin]

Wow, so many good ideas…

Ali G, ring up your insurance company and ask if they insure your content without a deadlock on the door and locks on all windows. I don’t know where you live but in Sydney the answer will be no. The home rented must be insurable and that is for the landlord to provide.

A good quality dead lock from Locksmith is around…[Read more]

You may travel at the speed of light but relative to some point deemed to be stationary. Your light globe is stationary relative to the photons so they will still go.
Yet if Einstein is to be beleived, you cannot go any faster than speed of light so the answer should be no.
Yet Relativity and quantum phisics are at loggerhaeds and we know that…[Read more]

Good post AussieR even when you make some unfounded assumptions.
I am not defensive, I am enthusiastic, and my enthusiasm stems from having discovered some time ago that I am in control, providing I load my mind with the right values, and have the right thoughts, followed by the right actions.

No more “luck” no more “connections”, no more “rich…[Read more]

So cancer is OK, fat lips is not OK.[blink]

Kay you disappoint me. The money we earn is the result of the value we add, and not the result of some evil unjust irresistible force.

Can we dictate which is the “right” value and which the “wrong”. You can try, but other tried before you, the kings, the communist, the dictators, and the pontiffs of…[Read more]

Wezwaz, so you think 3 millions a year is too much and the guy should be content with 300,000.
Why?

You don’t give one solitary plausible reason but for your own mindset that 3 millions is too much. I think it is OK …[confused2]

If the person is giving value for money, he should be earning it, that and more. If he is not, (and according to…[Read more]
