CHRISTCHURCH LIES IN RUINS
As has been reported worldwide, yesterdays 6.3 magnitude earthquake caused untold chaos in Christchurch as panicking and upset people checked for the whereabouts of their loved ones in the rubble.
The 12.51pm quake struck 10 kilometres south-east of our second largest city Christchurch at a shallow depth of five kilometres and was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks.
I live in a small town which is 74 kilometres from the epicentre, and the whole town felt the quake's violent shaking, surprisingly and miraculously no one was hurt. However, the situation was different in CHRISTCHURCH. Many people have lost their lives, more bodies are being discovered, more survivors are being rescued and some are having to be amputated to free them from underneath the debris. I would not wish such pain even on my worst enemy.
Police have reported multiple fatalities at several locations in the down town area, including the two buses which were crushed by falling buildings.
The city centre is resembling a war zone and the damage is immense and the needs are correspondingly huge. The Earthquake ruptured sewer, water lines and powerlines, which were still under repair from September 4, 2010, earthquake whose magnitude was 7.1.. It struck in the early hours of the morning
and therefore no one was killed,BUT this one struck midday, the time the central city was packed with lunch-hour shoppers..
Its reported that the death toll is already the second highest in a New Zealand earthquake - outranked only by the 7.9 violent earthquake which struck Hawke's Bay killing 256 people.
What has happened to our city only helps us to know that, things can take an unexpected turn just like that. It is a terrifying experience to feel the earth moving beneath you. I cannot describe it well enough, but what I know is that you feel powerless and helpless. No one can stand up to mother nature, except the One who created it. Yes, what is happening right now is painfuland devastating and as human beings, we will never comprehend why these disasters happen.
Let us join together to pray for the people of Christchurch, that the Almighty God will comfort them in these very difficult and trying times.

BURNING DESIRE
Do You really, really, really want to succeed in your life?
Do you have the DESIRE TO SUCCEED?
If your answered YES, the following quotes are sure to motivate you.........
"This FORCE, which is the best thing in you, your highest SELF, will never
respond to any ordinary half-hearted call, or any milk-and-water endeavor.
It can only be reached by your supremest call, your supremest effort.
It will respond only to the call that is backed up by the whole of you, not
part of you; you must be all there in what you are trying to do.
You must bring every particle of your energy, unswerving resolution, your
best efforts, your persistent industry to your task or the best will not come
out of you. You must back up your ambition by your whole nature, by
unbounded enthusiasm and a determination to win which knows no
failure.... Only a masterly call, a masterly will, a supreme effort, intense
and persistent application, can unlock the door to your inner treasure and
release your highest powers".
ORISON SWETT MARDEN
"We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat"
QUEEN VICTORIA
"There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent,
hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul."
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
MARK TWAIN once said, "I can teach anybody how to get
whatever they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find
anybody who can tell me what they want".
AN OLD WELSH PROVERB GOES.... "The hand will not
reach for what the heart does not long for."
DAREK PABIN once said...."DESIRE gives a reason.
KNOWLEDGE gives a courage. ACTION gives a
result."
Here is an observation made by A.G BELL, "What this power is,
I cannot say. All I know is that it exists...and it becomes available
only when you are in that state of mind in which you know
exactly what you want...and are fully determined not to quit
until you get it."
REMEMBER: NO ACTION NO RESULTS.

ATTENTION ONLINE ENTREPRENEURS!
The World we live in is shrinking, it has been villagized. Thats how I can sum up the Tweeter effect.
Twitter was not taken seriously by the adult world when it started. Naysayers laughed and dismissed its potential as an effective social medium. Today Twitter has become, surprisingly, a force to reckon with .
I take my hat off to the pioneer Jack Dorsey. What would the world be like without people like Dorsey and others, who think outside the box. I thank the Almighty, the Creator of the Universe for these fearless individuals. Indeed, the world would be poorer without them.
Love it or Hate it, Twitter is here to stay, its solidity is not in doubt. Independent statistics show that well over 6 million people use Twitter and the number keep growing bymore than ten thousand each day. Wow, isnt that remarkable? According to Twitter, about 65 million tweets are posted each day, which translates to about 750 tweets sent each second. It is handling over 800 000 search queries per day. A good growth indicator. Bear in mind that Twitter was created in March 2006 and launched in July 2006, and four years later has more than 190 million users.
For the sake of those new to Tweeter...Visitors to twitter site are called in the tweeting world, "Social Users".These people (me included) log on to keep in touch with friends or follow their favorite celebrities. Savvy Entrepreneurs, Professionals, and Churches are now using it to stay in contact with what is happening around the globe. For business people, this is particularly very beneficial for networking purposes and creating that online presence.
Personally, I have found these social platforms to be good places to develop and expand my world. I follow role models like John Maxwell, Pastor T D Jacks, Mike Murdock, Jim Rohn, Stephen Covey, Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Tony Robbins and many more who inspire me to live life to the maximum.
The World has moved on and continues to move . The world of yesterday is now history and there it will remain. In...enters the INTERNET AGE. I don't know what the future holds, but what I know is that we have to face each day with an open mind. Those with open minds are already positioning themselves courtesy of the social media and maximizing the moment. Dont" get left behind!
