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 helpless.

For all of you that are successful out there, count your blessings. Success, and fame, and money is short. But the good karma of giving to other people hopefully lasts forever. Help the helpless without too much judgment.

I wonder what the world would be like if everybody, all 7 billion people didn't go to sleep until they did one random act of kindness – It'd be interesting. I'm no expert but it'd probably be better than all the nonsense that goes on now in the world, violence, injustice. But what do I know? Til someone figures out the answer, I guess I'll keep giving to the homeless and the helpless. I don't know. I'm no saint but feels like the right thing to do.

Stay strong,
Tai

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

Hi ELLEN, One day, a little boy spent the afternoon building a blanket fort in his bedroom, but he had nobody to play with. His mother was busy tending to the baby, and his father wasn’t home from work yet. When his father came home, the little boy ran up to him, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked him to come sit in the blanket fort. The father was tired from a hard and stressful day at work, and said no in a rather grumpy way. “Son, I’ve been working hard to make money all day. Don’t bother me right now, okay? I’m too tired to play.” Very disappointed, the boy went back to his room and sat quietly in his fort. Suddenly, he had an idea. He ran back to his father who was dozing on the couch. He shook his father’s arm and asked, “Daddy, how much money do you make in one hour?” The father was startled out of his slumber and none too happy about it. “Didn’t I ask you not to bother me?” he snapped. But the boy persisted. “Daddy, I really need to know. How much do you ...

How can you be way happier, less depressed, have less anxiety and fear?  Let's talk about this book,  "The Happiness Advantage" . It's pretty interesting. "The Happiness Advantage" is  an international best seller and talks about the seven principles of positive psychology that fuel success and performance at work.  What are the seven? The happiness advantage number one, the fulcrum and the lever number two, the tetris effect number three, falling up number four, the zorro cycle number five. Number six, the 20 second rule, and number seven, social investment.  It's a good book. Just finished doing my book of the day, and I thought I'd share it with you.
