First Reading
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
1Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand, 2by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain.  3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,  4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,  5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.  7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.  8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 19:2-5
1The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. 3There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; 4yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 
Gospel
John 14:6-14
6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.  7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."  8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied."  9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'?  10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.  11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.  12"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.  13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;  14if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute

Hey Tai here, Sometimes it's hard to find somebody to help. There's a lot of need out there in the world. The way I look at it, in the world with all the suffering, you've got to earn the right to drive a Rolls Royce by making sure you give back. I gave $500 to a homeless man and his dog once and he thanked me by saying  “there is a God.” Now some people would probably say he might use that money for drugs and alcohol, and there's some truth to that, but I don't know. At this point in my life I don't feel like it's my place to judge everything, figure everything out, and try to help. Some people use it the right way, some people abuse it, but for the people that do use it, at least people didn't hold back giving because of the people who do abuse it. You know what I mean? Plus with that guy, I kind of have a soft spot for dogs. He's got his dog, and hopefully he buys some dog food, vet bills. You know I feel like animals are a lot of times helples...

I’m going to tell you something you’re not going to hear too often that can help you beat. You need to know your competition’s strengths and weaknesses as well or better than your own. This lesson can be applied throughout your life. Any time you have competition in life, you need to know their strengths and weaknesses, so you can know how to improve your own venture to beat them out.  Sun Tzu, the famous ancient philosopher says,   "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy, nor yourself, you will lose in every battle." Sun Tzu says in his book  “The Art of War”  that there are three levels that you can be at when it comes to knowing your competition. The lowest level you can at is level three. That basically means that you don’t know your competition, and even...
