go beyond average.

MONDAY MOTIVATION.


**DARE TO RELEASE YOUR POTENTIALS.*

I don't want you to succinctly chose to accept the fate of millions who have resigned themselves to a normal life,

With a normal activities,
In the company of normal people ,
Striving for normal goals,

 at a normal pace ,with a normal motivation , with a normal education ,taught by normal teachers,

Who gave Normal grades,and live in normal homes ,with normal

 families, leaving a normal heritage for their children,

Who bury them in a normal grave .
What a normal tragedy!


      I want you to be conscious of this fact once more ,
You were designed to be:

..distinctive ,
..Special
..Irreplaceable and unique ,      
So refuse to be normal.
Go beyond average ! do not strive to be accepted strive to be yourself.

**DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE.**

It is impressive to recognize that all the great leaders in all works of life and during all

 periods of history, have attained their leadership by the application of their abilities behind a definite major purpose.

It is no less impressive to observe that those who are classified as failures have no such purpose,

But they go around and around ,like a ship without a rudder ,coming back always empty handed, to their starting point.

Some of these FAILURES begin with a definite major purpose, but they desert that purpose the moment they are over taken with temporary defeat or strenuous opposition.

They gave up and quit, not knowing that there is a philosophy of success which is dependable and as definite as the rules of mathematics, and never suspecting that

 temporary defeat is but a  testing grounds which may prove a blessing in disguise if it is not accepted as final.

It is one of the greatest tragedies of civilization that 98 out of every 100 people go all the way through life without coming within sight of anything even

 approximates definiteness of a major purpose! And it was Andrew Carnegie's recognition of this tragedy that inspired him to influence some 500 great American leaders of industry to collaborate in the organization of this philosophy of individual achievements.

Mr.Carnegie  first test, which he applied to all of his associate workers who where under consideration for  promotion to supervisory positions, was that of determining to what extent they where willing to go the EXTRA MILE .his second test was that  to determine whether or not they had their minds fixed upon a definite GOAL, including the necessary preparation for the attainments of that GOAL.

Showing good showmanship

The history of the founding fathers.

**Domino's Pizza* Founder Tom Monaghan Biography
***********;;;-------;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;******************--------
 
**Thomas Stephen**

 Monaghan was born in 1937 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. His father died when he was four years old, and, two years later, his mother placed him and his younger brother James in an orphanage run by an order of nuns, the Felician Sisters.

Although his mother was later able to raise the

 boys on her own, the nuns had a tremendous effect on Monaghan, leading him to consider becoming a priest. At the time, though, he did not have the necessary discipline and was expelled from the

 seminary. He gained a better sense of discipline by serving three years in the U.S. Marine Corps.

The Beginnings of

 Domino's Pizza
Upon his discharge in 1959, Monaghan returned to Ann Arbor and enrolled in the nearby University of Michigan.

 He studied to become an architect, inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1960, however, he and his brother James borrowed $500 to buy a pizzeria in nearby Ypsilanti.

The previous owners were named Dominic and Nick, and it was called DomiNick’s. Tom

 changed the name to Domino’s Pizza, and after growing it to four stores bought out his brother by trading a Volkswagen Beetle for his brother's part of the business.

The stores were losing money, but with his experience in the college town, Tom Monaghan knew how to, literally, cater to them. He dropped sandwiches from the menu and focused on the pizzas and their delivery.

He invented an insulated box that would not only keep the pizza warm but also support the weight of multiple boxes on top of it, allowing several to be delivered at once, without the box’s lid sagging and causing the cheese to be stuck to the top.

Monaghan’s emphasis on delivery led him, in 1973, to institute the guarantee of having a

 pizza delivered within 30 minutes of a phone order being placed, or the order would be free. Domino’s took off as a result of its improved delivery

 system. Monaghan was able to spread his stores all over North America.

most habits that might be killing you without knowing.

**Four Habits That May Be Affecting Your Brain Health****-



A number of everyday habits ranging from skipping a morning work to those numerous bedtime snacks can have a serious impact on your brain health. Here are the common habits that may be speeding the decline of your brain health.
You Drink Too Much
As far as your brain is concerned, there’s a big difference between enjoying a glass of wine with dinner and


 consuming a lot of bottles. A study conducted in 2012 at Rutgers University used rats to model “moderate to heavy drinking” defined as a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent.


The production of nerve cells in the brain’s hippocampus (the region involved in certain types of learning) of the drunk rodents dropped by almost 40 percent. In the long term this type of behavior could have an adverse effect on learning and memory.
Failing To Care For Your Heart


Heart health is directly connected to brain health. You usually know what’s good for your heart is good for your brain. If your heart is stressed and strained and your brain is not getting proper blood flow, it’s going to age more rapidly.


A 2017 study in JAMA Neurology found that middle-aged individuals with vascular risk factors such as hypertension or diabetes were more likely to develop dementia as they got older.

Failing To Walk


Normal aging brings brain changes that slow cognitive function as some brain regions shrink, communication between neurons may decrease, blood flow in the brain may lessen, and inflammation could increase.


However, certain daily habits may accelerate this brain aging—and there is something you can do about that. Physical activity, managing the risk factors for cardiovascular


 disease (i.e., high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking), getting sufficient sleep, are all good for other health reasons and may be helpful for the brain.
Additional practices such as staying socially active, treating depression, and avoiding excessive


 alcohol consumption may also be beneficial for your brain health.
Failing To Protect Your Ears


Hearing loss is linked to dementia. A 2011 study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the


 National Institute on Aging found that senior citizens with hearing loss were “significantly more likely to develop dementia.”


It’s possible that the strain of struggling to hear could overburden the brain or that hearing loss could lead to social isolation, which is an acknowledged risk factor

 for dementia. Protect your hearing as best as you can.
