It is important to review your RETIREMENT OPTIONS every 5 years. You may become amazed that benefits change, options and grandfather clauses lapse. You cannot reply on a single source for your retirement. Be prepared to SAVE at least 5% of your income and INVEST another 5% in other investments. "If things can go wrong - they will."

Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.

We are all going to die
it is question of when
so enjoy life today
before it starts over again.
You are going to die
Let me say it again
Your are going to die
It is only a question of when.
You are going to die
And all your stuff will rot.
You are going to die
And your dreams will stop.
You are going to die
Perhap even today.
Your going to die
So remember to play.
Your going to die
As everyone else.

Quotes for Living Well!
1.Know Thyself – Socrates. From ancient Greece comes this
reminder that introspection, keeping a journal, paying attention to
the heart of things, comes first. Before we can know the world
around us, and make wise choices, we must first come to grips
with who we are and what we value.
2.To Thine Own Self Be True – Shakespeare. In life there is no
substitute for integrity. My grandmother was fond of saying, "We
either stand for something, or we'll fall for anything." Integrity is
about going beyond the truth to full and complete honesty,
openness and fairness.
3.And the Greatest of These is Love – St Paul. He also observed
that "without love I am just a clanging symbol or a noisy gong."
Without love, caring relationships, and compassion, life is indeed
a dry and shallow thing.
4.Imagination Rules the World – Albert Einstein. The good life is at
least partly based on dreams that are worthy of us, dreams that
elevate and challenge and inspire our best. Bobby Kennedy
noted, "Others look at the world and ask, 'Why?' I dream of a world
that never was and ask, 'Why not?'" Martin Luther King's defiant
cry, "I have a dream!" will live long after most of us are gone and
forgotten.
5.Too much of a good thing is just right – Mae West. The good life is
about living large, about expressing the joy and love of life. It's
about song, exuberance, and about taking chances, and "going
for it".
6.Opportunities multiply as they are seized – SunTzu. Success
depends on the courage to act, and courage in turn requires a
level of faith that every opportunity acted upon will lead to more
and better ways to serve, learn, grow and prosper.
7.Do, or do not. There is no "try". – Yoda (The Empire Strikes
Back). Life requires action, boldness and decisiveness. Mae
West also observed, "He who hesitates is a damned fool."
8.Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but
when there is nothing left to take away – Antoine de St. Exupery.
Henry Thoreau recommended, "Simplify, simplify, simplify. Let
your concerns be as 2 or 3, not more." Friends, work, the media
and this thing called the Internet, along with our own "wish lists" try
to seduce us to complexity, busy-ness and anxiety. Keep it simple!
9.The artist is nothing without gift, but gift is nothing without work –
Emile Zola. Only focused, intelligent, diligent effort turns potential
into reality. Without creative effort, talent and "gift" seem to atrophy
and die. Truly a case of "use it or lose it".
10.There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a
miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. – Albert
Einstein. I highly recommend practicing the attitude of gratitude.
What else is there?

Success Stories, motivational stories, marketing, success, carrers, entrepreneurs,: "Don't Be Afraid To Fail
You've failed many times, although you may not remember.
You fell down the first time you tried to walk.
You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you?
Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat?
Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.
R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.
English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs.
Don't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...
you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...
you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
Count your blessings!

You can make a difference
From the Orlando NTC "Navigator", by LCDR Tom Cook, NTC Command Chaplain:Â
Once there was a man walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset.  As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he got closer, he noticed the man was picking up
starfish that had been washed ashore and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water. When the man asked what he was doing, he said, "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the beach. If I don't throw them back, they'll die from lack of oxygen." "I understand," replied the visitor, "but there must be hundreds of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. And this is happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down the coast.  Can't you see that you really cannot make a difference?" The man smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that one." Our lives do influence others...for good or bad. Even small insignificant acts set in motion great things.  An encouraging word. A cold soda. The first, "Good Morning!"  A strong handshake. Your every act or attitude will make a difference to just one! ...In everything set them an example by doing what is good ...show integrity."
