Remember that laughter is the elixir that can cure boredom and bad moods

My wife's mother told her that she was going to put "The Mother's curse on her, having 6 children just like herself".  My wife laughing told her mother after her 3rd daughter was born and having her tubes tied that her curse had failed.  Then she got divorced and married me who also had 3 daughters, needless to say her mother got the last laugh.


The most beautiful house is the one, which is filled with infectious giggles, excited gamboling and innocent babbling. Being with kids is an extremely fun experience - kids often startle us with their adorable innocence, their sweet ways and their ability to imitate us.


Children really brighten up a household. They never turn the lights off.  Ralph Bus.


Never underestimate a child’s ability to get into more trouble. Martin Mull


Children are the most desirable opponents at scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat. Fran Lebowitz


I have just returned from a children’s party. I’m one of the survivors.  Percy French


There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother’s age. Benjamin Spock


You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance. 
Franklin P. Jones


In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn’t danced in television. 
Erma Bombeck


The easiest way to teach children the value of money is to borrow some from them. 
 Anonymous


Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.  James Arthur Baldwin


Children ask better questions than adults. "May I have a cookie?" "Why is the sky blue?" and "What does a cow say?" are far more likely to elicit a cheerful response than "Where’s your manuscript?" Why haven’t you called?" and "Who’s your lawyer?" Fran Lebowitz


I’ve noticed that one thing about parents is that no matter what stage your child is in, the parents who have older children always tell you the next stage is worse.  Dave Barry


The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant–and let the air out of the tires. Dorothy Parker


There's nothing that can help you understand your beliefs more than trying to explain them to an inquisitive child. Frank A. Clark


I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home. Robert Orben


Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.  Erma Bombeck


To be a successful father there’s one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don’t look at it for the first two years. Ernest Hemingway


Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million-dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla. Jim Bishop.


I’ve got seven kids, the three words you hear most around my house are: "Hello, goodbye, and I’m pregnant. Dean Martin


Children nowadays are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food and tyrannize their teachers. Socrates.


Before I was married, I had a hundred theories about raising children and no children. Now, I have three children and no theories. John Wilmot


I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. Harry S. Truman

“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them. Oscar Wilde "Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas”  Paula Poundstone “The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”  Confucius  “Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls on them makes an impression.”  Dr. Haim Ginott  “The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”  Pablo Casal “Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children. Rosaleen Dickson  Have a very good day and till next time God Bless you, Bye Raymond

Stop, take a minute or two and figure out the 3 "Ws".

Sunday morning was my youngest daughter's High School Baccalaureate Mass and the Priest who said Mass was once a Pastor at our church. He was filling in for our present Pastor who had to be somewhere else. When it came time for the sermon he started it off with a story about a cowboy who found himself out it the middle of nowhere when it became dark. So he camped for the night and come sun up, he was hungry. So he got out his cooking stuff; got everything ready and discovered that there was no wood to be found anywhere. He finally decided that if he set the grass on fire he could cook his breakfast over that. Well long story short when his breakfast was finally cooked he found himself three miles across the prairie and away from his camp. The cowboy knew he wanted breakfast and when he wanted it that morning and he knew where he wanted it; at his camp. The only trouble the cowboy had was that he got so focused on the cooking aspect of his breakfast that he lost sight of everything else and ended up having to back track to where he had started. The cowboy did finally accomplish his goal of cooking his breakfast and he didn't give up. It just took him a lot longer to get there and a lot of wasted effort.

This is a very similar problem with a lot of new internet marketers today; they know the 3 "Ws", what, where and when. They all know WHAT they want, WHERE they want to be and WHEN they want to be there. The trouble is they don't always think about or plan out a course of action to follow. Some of them do get what they want, a lot of them get no where close to where they wanted to be or when they wanted to be there. The reason being is that along the way they got side tracked by something and end up way off course. Finally, some just get tired of chasing their dream and give up because it has taken them way past their when of their wanting to be there. Goal planing is a big part of being successful at the 3 "Ws".  Actually it should be the 4 "Ws", with the forth one being "WHO". The WHO is the most important one of the Ws. This is the person or persons who you are going to find to guide you along the way to achieve your What, Where and When. There are a lot of good people on the internet today who are very willing to help you. There is a very large percentage of Network Marketers who are willing to help you out for the sheer joy of having the chance to help another person succeed.

So when you start the planning stage of your home based business, be it to just supplement your income or to have it become a full time business where you replace your boss by becoming the BOSS. Remember that there are 4 "Ws" and when you start the planning your home business you need to set some goals. When setting your goals don't forget to remember that the WHO is just as important as the WHAT, WHERE and WHEN.  Having a good mentor to help you along the way is very important. They have been down the same road that you are traveling and know the shortcuts and detours involved with getting to What you want, Where and When you want to be there.

Why we do what we do.

How many times do you find yourself working late at night after putting in a full day of work? Night after night, it gets to the point that your family thinks that you are avoiding them. You have become a 24/7 workaholic. You see more of a computer screen than you do of your wife and children put together. They wonder why you are doing it. You're not getting richer, just more tired. The "Honey Do" list keeps getting longer and your lack of help around the house is starting to stress the whole situation even more.

So why do we do what we do? Are we just chasing a childhood dream? That would probably depend on your age, up bring and a whole lot of other things that were probably beyond your control. Most people in America and from my generation had some strict fundamental beliefs taught to them daily. You were to respect your elders, be truthful, treat women like ladies all of the time, work hard, putting in a good day's labor.  More importantly go to school and get a good education. That way, you can get into a good college for a better education and eventually a great JOB. So you in turn can get married, have a family, bringing them up with the same guidelines that you were raised with. This might have worked out like clockwork if the world would have came to a complete stop and time stood still.

Well as we all know that never happened. All the children who listened to their parents and heeded their words of wisdom, for the most part fulfilled the expectations of their forefathers. They got their good education, better jobs and as all the technology came together; life in America and the world changed. Outside forces came into play, communications kept getting better and easier to use. Television and movies started to show everybody a new way of living.

Advances in every aspect of day to day living changed and the old standards of living were going out the door as fast as the new ways were coming in. Peer pressure was still around, but it now was multiplied by a 1000 time or more and  now it is a constant onslaught. So as time move on life styles changed. Instantaneously people were finding out what happened across the ocean sooner then what happened down the street. Change is inevitable and with it came the good and the bad. Not blaming anybody for what has taken place in the last 100 years, some people will gladly step forth a claim responsibility. while others will step forth blaming everybody else.  It  happened and we probably should all shoulder our share of the responsibility. This country and world is in terrible shape. Be it financially, morally, medically, politically, religiously, environmentally; it doesn't matter.  Step out your front door, turn on the television, connect to the internet it you are faced with it everywhere. Very few people are getting rich and unfortunately many more are having a hard time surviving, just the day to day existence is becoming a struggle. Everything costs more and very few people are keeping pace with the rising cost of living.

So now you know, Why We Do What We Do. Everyday more and more people are turning to the internet. Hoping and trying to figure out how to catch that elusive dream; of just making it through to the end of the month.  Getting all our monthly bills, rent/mortgage, utilities, car payment, medical and all the insurance policies paid on time.  With enough left over for groceries and maybe just maybe saving a little for the kid’s college and our own retirement.

Millions upon millions of people everyday are turning to the internet and home based business hoping to survive. The good news out there; is that the ones who are serious; are turning things around. They are figuring it out and there are a lot of people realizing that the more they help others the better off this whole  world will be. As people worldwide connect and start interacting with each other, friendships will develop and suspicions will fade. Granted there are a lot of shady characters out there preying on the unsuspecting, but there are a lot of good people out there also. My advice is take it slow; you can check out anything and anybody on the internet just do a search and take your time to figure it out. When you do find something, stick with it, get it paying for itself and then expand.

I am a relative newbie out there and I have made a lot of the classic newbie (beginner) mistakes, but I am learning and I haven't quit. Slowly and steadily I am figuring it out and I will share my knowledge with anybody and everybody. I have just recently built my own website, and I will tell you this, it is definitely a work in progress. Every day it grows and more things are added and every day I go back and fix links that are not quite the way I want them. My good friend   Randy Ritter  and I talk  daily. I feature his Top Flight Traffic Exchange on my website.  He is a great mentor and for the days I don't talk to him, I will make it up on the days I talk to him numerous times.

So stop by my website every now and then, check it out. Keep in touch with my blog "Raymond Anderson's Diamond Bits", I promise not to ramble on as I have today.   Sometime it might just be interesting quotes, other time maybe I will let you know about something new on the scene.  Got questions I will have or find an answer.  I have a lot of information about Diamond Rewards,  but I also have links to other business opportunities and links to Traffic Exchanges which all have a free version and all can be upgraded.

Remember I am here to help.  Raymond
