"Captive Audience"

A cliche goes : "There are many things in life that will catch your eye. But only a few will catch your heart... Pursue those. "

Whoever said this is right dead on target! Often, in life, we are led by many visual pursuits. The consequence is that we almost always end up living miserable lives once those pursuits fades.

A good looking wife, a good looking car, a good looking house etc. Don't get me wrong. Who doesn't want all of these. However, when external beauty rusts and fades, then the disappointment snowballs.

Again, the scripture is never more truer when it says " "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal".

Go ahead, store goodness, kindness, excellence and love. After, it is these things that makes the world go round!

Trump

'In Life, there are fighters and non-fighters. There are losers and winners. I am both a fighter and a winner' - Donald Trump.

Arguably one of the most recognizable man on TV today. He is simply one character to watch out for. What most people don't realize is that this same man was honed, molded and shaped by an illustrious military background as a CADET at the New York Military Academy.

Few of his accomplishments include topping his class, corps commandant and the like. Even beyond college, he went on to pursue Finance MBA at Wharton. Top that and you could equal his 'subtle but likable' arrogance bordering on Machiavellian exploits.

He has the girls and the gold. What more could he ask for?
