Food for Thought
10 Ways Rich People Think Differently
May 23, 2014, 10:34 AM
If you ask Thomas Corley, being rich has very little to do with luck and everything to do with habits.
Corley, who spent five years monitoring and analyzing the daily activities and habits of people both wealthy and living in poverty (233 wealthy and 128 poor, specifically), isolated what he calls "rich habits" — and many of them are simply patterns of thought.
"I found in my research that wealthy people are by and large optimists," he says. "They practice gratitude and look at happiness like a habit."
Corley, who presents and explains many of his findings in his book "Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits Of Wealthy Individuals" and on his website, defines "rich people" as those with an annual income of $160,000 or more and a liquid net worth of $3.2 million or more, and "poor people" as those with an annual income of $35,000 or less and a liquid net worth of $5,000 or less.
1. Rich people believe their habits have a major impact on their lives.
"Daily habits are critical to financial success in life."Rich people who agree: 52%
Poor people who agree: 3%
Wealthy people think that bad habits create detrimental luck and that good habits create "opportunity luck," meaning they create the opportunities for people to make their own luck. "When I looked at luck," Corley remembers, "a lot of rich people said they were lucky and a lot of poor people said they were unlucky."
2. Rich people believe in the American dream.
"The American dream is no longer possible."Rich people who agree: 2%
Poor people who agree: 87%
"The American Dream is the idea of unlimited potential, that you can make it on your own," says Corley. In his study, the vast majority of rich people believed that wealth is a big part of the American dream (94%), and that the dream is still possible.
3. Rich people value relationships for professional and personal growth.
"Relationships are critical to financial success."Rich people who agree: 88%
Poor people who agree: 17%
Not only do rich people feel that their relationships are critical to their success, but they put a lot of effort into maintaining them, making a habit of calling up contacts to congratulate them on life events, wish them a happy birthday, or reaching out just to say hello. "When I applied the hello calls and the life event calls to my own life," recalls Corley, "I ended up making another $60,000 as a result."
4. Rich people love meeting new people.
"I love meeting new people."Rich people who agree: 68%
Poor people who agree: 11%
Hand in hand with valuing relationships comes making new ones. Rich people both love meeting new people and believe that being liked is important to financial success (in fact, it's a whopping 95% that believe in the power of likability, compared to 9% of poor people).
5. Rich people think that saving is hugely important.
"Saving money is critical to financial success."Rich people who agree: 88%
Poor people who agree: 52%
"Being wealthy is not just making a lot of money," explains Corley. "It's saving a lot, and accumulating wealth. Many of the people I studied aren't wealthy because they made a lot, but because they saved a lot." He's trying to instill what he calls the 80/20 rule in his own children: Save 20% of your income while living on 80%.
6. Rich people feel that they determine their path in life.
"I believe in fate."Rich people who agree: 10%
Poor people who agree: 90%
Poor people are significantly more likely to believe that genetics are important to becoming wealthy, and significantly less likely to believe that they're the cause of their own financial status in life. "Most of the wealthy people I talked to were businesspeople who weren't always wealthy," Corley explains, "but they had this attitude that they could do anything."
7. Rich people value creativity over intelligence.
"Creativity is critical to financial success."Rich people who agree: 75%
Poor people who agree: 11%
While rich people are more likely to believe that creativity influences success, poor people are more likely to think that being "intellectually gifted" is critical. They're also more likely to believe that wealth is usually accidental. "If you look at my stats, you'll find that a lot of wealthy people were C students," says Corley. "There's more to wealth than just being smart."
8. Rich people enjoy their jobs.
"I like (or liked) what I do for a living."Rich people who agree: 85%
Poor people who agree: 2%
"Many of the wealthy in my study loved their job — it's not an accident," says Corley. In fact, 86% of the wealthy worked an average of 50 hours or more per week (compared to 43% of the poor), and 81% say they do more than their job requires (versus 17%). Corley says it's related to the idea of creativity being important to financial success: "These people found a creative pursuit that could turn into monetary value. When you engage in a creative pursuit that can make money, the rewards are often obscene."
9. Rich people believe that their health influences their success.
"Good health is critical to financial success."Rich people who agree: 85%
Poor people who agree: 13%
"One of the individuals in my study told me 'I can't make money in a hospital bed,'" Corley remembers. "Wealthy people think that being healthy means fewer sick days, which translates into more productivity and more money."
10. Rich people are willing to take risks.
"I've taken a risk in search of wealth."Rich people who agree: 63%
Poor people who agree: 6%
"A lot of the wealthy people in the study were business owners who started their own businesses," Corley explains. "They became successes because they were master self-educators who learned from the school of hard knocks." In fact, 27% of the wealthy people in Corley's study admit they've failed at least once in life or in business, compared with 2% of the poor. "Failure is like scar tissue on the brain," Corley says. "The lessons last forever."

Luis Suárez Banned for Four Months for Biting in World Cup Game
In an unprecedented move Fifa has banned Uruguay’s Luis Suárez from all “football-related activities” for four months for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, ruling the striker out of the rest of the World Cup and the start of the domestic season.
The Liverpool player will not be able to play or train for his club or country for four months after Fifa’s disciplinary committee handed down the hefty sanction, which is sure to provoke dismay from Uruguay and Anfield.
The biting incident, the third in which Suárez has been involved in his career, has also led Fifa’s disciplinary committee to ban the player from entering any football stadium during the ban.
Suárez has also been banned for nine competitive international matches, beginning with Uruguay’s last-16 game with Colombia on Saturday, and fined £66,000.
However, Fifa clarified that Suarez’s ban from all “administrative” tasks related to football did not block any possible transfer from Liverpool during the period.
“Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field,” said Claudio Sulser, the chair of the disciplinary committee, which met late into the night in Rio de Janiero.
“The disciplinary committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suárez’s guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated.”

The ban means that Suárez, whom Brendan Rodgers hailed as a reformed character last season as he won both footballer of the year prizes, will miss nine Premier League matches and three Champions League games.
Although Uruguay can appeal the decision, it will not stop Suárez being banned from Saturday’s match because under article 124 of the Fifa disciplinary code it does not have a “suspensive effect”.
Before Fifa announced their judgment, the Uruguayan FA and even the country’s president had weighed into the issue in support of Suárez.
They claimed that Suárez was the target of a conspiracy among the Italians, the English media and the Brazilian hosts to make more of the incident than it warranted.
“You shouldn’t forget that we’re rivals of many and we can be for the hosts [Brazil] in the future. This does not go against what might have happened but there’s no doubt that Suárez is a stone in the shoe for many,” said his lawyer Alejandro Balbi.
Television pictures of the incident seemed clear. The ban – added to previous penalties for racially abusing Manchester United’s Patrice Evra and for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, mean that Suárez will have been suspended for 34 matches since 2010 without receiving a red card on the pitch.
Liverpool’s chief executive Ian Ayre said: “Liverpool will wait until we have seen and had time to review the Fifa disciplinary committee report before making any further comment.”
Britain’s Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce, from Northern Ireland said the sanction was fully deserved. “I think the punishment handed out by Fifa to Luis Suárez is fully justified,” he said. “Hopefully he will realise now that behaviour of this type will not be tolerated under any circumstances.’

GM Chief Executive Mary Barra: ‘We Failed Our Customers’
GM Chief Executive Mary Barra: ‘We failed our customers’
By Matt Wilson | Posted: June 26, 2014
Hours after news broke that General Motors has halted sales of its 2013-2014 Chevrolet Cruze models over possibly defective air bags, the company’s CEO, Mary Barra, sat down with the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer to talk about the millions of cars GM has recalled this year.
Many of the recalled vehicles had faulty ignition switches, which have been linked to 13 deaths and 54 crashes, though reports state they’re likely to have caused many more than that.
“Clearly this issue took too long to find,” she told Lauer. “In this case, we failed our customers. We failed them with these vehicles.”
She said she didn’t believe there was a cover-up of the potential dangers in the cars’ faulty ignitions. Rather, she said information was in silos within the company and employees failed to come forward with the information they had.
“The problem with this is that people didn't understand the safety aspects of it,” Barra said.
If GM recalls the Cruze, it would be the company’s 45th recall of the year so far.
This month, GM fired 15 employees over the ignition problem. Barra didn't rule out any additional recalls, saying, “We’re going to take the action that we need.” However, she said the firings are over.
“The investigation that was done independently was exhaustive,” she said. “It went to all areas. There were people in five different functions, across all levels of the company. Associated with this situation, we’ve addressed the issue.”
In response to a question about whether criminal charges could be brought over the ignition problems, Barra said, “That’s for the courts to decide.”

5 Tips to Get Yourself Noticed as a Job Seeker
I just couldn't resist this write-up when I saw it while surfing the net. That's what I've been trying for so long to pass on to people. I hope this changes your attitude Enjoy!
5 Tips to Get Yourself Noticed as a Job Seeker
Posted on June 25, 2014 by Glassdoor.com
Every job seeker knows they need to get noticed by employers, but the most important thing they want to understand is how.
Being a job seeker in today’s workforce is a challenge. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to help job seekers land a job. In fact, if you want to be a standout job seeker, you have to go above and beyond to land on the radar of employers.
Many job seekers today wonder why they must work so hard to find a job they love. After all, shouldn't landing a job be easy? Unfortunately, when employers hire new employees, they want candidates with the strongest talent and most experience. Employers believe this is a guaranteed way to improve the success of their company.
Here are some tips for job seekers looking to stand out during their job search:
Job seekers who consistently market themselves, look for opportunities, and show their dedication to their industry are the ones who land jobs. Employers want to see how you’re putting in the effort to make a contribution to your given industry and how you can make an impact within their organization.
During your job search, ask for advice from colleagues, mentors, and professionals for their opinions on the future of your industry. Their insight will help you figure out what skills and experience you need in order to follow those trends. Once you know the future of your industry, you’ll be better at predicting future trends, which is an appealing quality to employers.
As you continue to search for jobs, remember to never give up. So many job seekers get close to success and eventually give up just before they land a job. We all know jobs aren't easy to come by, but if you remain persistent, network with the right people, and highlight your best qualities, you’ll land a job before you know it.
Are you a job seeker who is trying to stand out? What are you doing to get yourself noticed by employers?

2. Market yourself for the future of your industry.
Employers are all about having a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Once you know the future of your industry, you’ll be better at predicting future trends, which is an appealing quality to employers.
3. Understand the position of the employer you’re targeting.
When researching employers and job opening, make sure you know the position of each company. Read through their mission statement and company values. Take a look at their culture and what employees say on Glassdoor (or any other company review site- my own input) about working there. This information will give you a better idea of who the company is and how you can market yourself to fit their mold.4. Know how to apply your skills to new roles.
Employers like hiring employees who are Jacks or Janes of all trades. If you’re applying for a job outside of your industry, use examples from your experience that show employers how your skills are versatile. Job seekers who can transition from different roles are sought after candidates because it makes the training process easier for employers and can contribute more to the organization.5. Pay attention to the feedback others give you.
Whether it’s advice you receive from a colleague or getting turned down by an employer, use this feedback as a way to improve your image as a professional. Positive and negative feedback is critical to professional development and will make you a better individual. Especially when searching for jobs, receiving feedback on your job search tactics, resume, or cover letter can help you get ahead in your job search, too.As you continue to search for jobs, remember to never give up. So many job seekers get close to success and eventually give up just before they land a job. We all know jobs aren't easy to come by, but if you remain persistent, network with the right people, and highlight your best qualities, you’ll land a job before you know it.

Excerpts from the High Impact A2 Festival

| Lira and her crew arrive the UAE for the High Impact A2 Festival. |

| Lira about to check-in at Meydan Hotel, Dubai. |

Mr. Vegas and son at Meydan Hotel, Dubai for the High Impact A2 Festival.
The New 'Me'
In 2013, I was a really nice little lady, going out of my way to please people. I always told myself I had to live for myself, do what makes me happy, blah, blah, blah.
Easier said than done!
Every year I would make resolutions, but a few days into the new year I realized that I had made resolutions that were near-impossible to keep.
So, this year 2014, no resolutions for me; no promising to quit a bad habit or determining to be less vulnerable/gullible.
Sounds lazy or defeatist? Nah! I'm only being a realist.
So in Year 2014, I'm just going to be Happy. I'm going to learn to accept that sometimes I'm too nice and will be taken for granted. I'm going to accept that I cry when I hear or watch a sob story. I'm going to accept that I can never please everyone. I'm going to accept that no matter how I try to be ordinary and blend in, I'm a gold fish(*wink* and *smile*).
Most importantly, I'm going to accept that I'm Vickie and there's no one in the world that can do a better job of being 'Me' than 'Me'.
Have a Happy 2014 Everyone. Mwah!!!
