The markets are dominated by easy access to petroleum oil and the sway of dominant advertising. We were never told the fact that we can make a difference for the environment simply by switching to synthetic oil. How can this be? Because of the stability, low volatility, and high film strength of synthetic oils. I'm not just talking about amsoil, but any synthetic lubricants on the market. The others are good (by their claims..) I just know about Amsoil. Amsoil has higher lubricity for better economy and low engine wear, but the big thing is extended oil changes. Because synthetic oil doesn't boil off, doesn't react with combustion byproducts to form acids, doesn't break down, does hold particles in suspension, and does have high film strength-clinging & cushioning to the moving parts, your oil is good for 25,000 miles or a year. If you use regular petroleum oil, you will go through 40 quarts, and 8 filters for that mileage. It's obvious; as someone who thinks globally and acts locally, synthetic oil is the only way to go. </div> <div> Do yourself a favor and copy/paste my site url. Order Amsoil from my site.

Extend vehicle and equipment life and get better fuel economy. </div> <div> Amsoil molecules are uniform, stable, and have a high film strength. The additives that reduce friction and wear remain in suspension. The volatility is low, so viscosity remains consistent, even in the highest temperatures. In low temperatures, Amsoil doesn't get thick, and circulates immediately after start up. With the high film strength, Amsoil clings to moving parts, and reduces engine wear at startup. Engine runs cooler in hot conditions. Engine stays clean, and oil change intervals can be extended 25,000 miles, or even longer with oil analysis.</div> <bR> <div> I am an Independent Amsoil dealer in Minneapolis.</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="bad_car_again"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>BAD CAR AGAIN EZINE March 2, 2003 Issue No. 3 Tommy Sessions, Publisher/Editor Mailto:badcaragain@netdot.com<A HREF="http://www.pollokautorepair.com " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.pollokautorepair.com "><U> </U></A><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.pollokautorepair.com " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.pollokautorepair.com "><U><U>http://www.pollokautorepair.com</U></U></A></FONT><A HREF="http://www.pollokautorepair.com " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.pollokautorepair.com "><U> </U></A>Copyright 2003 All Rights Reserved %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Welcome to Bad Car Again! Here you will find helpful information so you can do maintenance and minor repairs (if there are any) to your own favorite vehicle. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% </div> <bR> <div> <I>Here's an article from Tommy's latest.. </I><I><B>Transmission Fluid and Filter change.</B></I></div> <div> If you do a lot of towing or off-the-road driving, then it probably needs to be changed every six months. It's not too hard to do. You need to jack the vehicle up and put stands under it, so it will be safe to work under. You really need a flat piece of ground, or driveway, to park it on. Never park on an incline! If you park on an incline the vehicle will probably start rolling before you ever get it jacked up. You sure don't want to be under it when and if it decides to go for a *roll* on its own. You really need something to lie down on. Maybe an old quilt, a piece of tarp, or even a sheet of plywood (I hate working on the ground!), Maybe you can stay a little bit cleaner (I don't mind doing this kind of work, I just hate to get dirty :-) Remove the bolts in the pan, starting at the lowest end. Most of the fluid will be at that end. As you remove more bolts, the pan will drop and fluid will spill out. After the fluid has drained some, you can remove the last of bolts. But! Hold the pan up with one hand and remove the last bolts with the other. When you have all the bolts out, take the pan in both hands and slowly let it down, tilting toward the drain pan. Now look at the filter. What holds it up to the transmission? If it has a slot in the head you can use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove them. If it has a bolt-head you'll have to get the right size socket to get them out. If it doesn't have anything holding it up, look at the ends of the filter, there should be a "neck" that pushes into the bottom of the transmission. If it is the type with the "neck" all you have to do is pull it down. It may not pull down all that easy, but all that holds it up is a rubber grommet. Look at the neck on the filter. Is the rubber grommet still on there? If it's not, you'll have to get it out of the hole in the transmission. Sometimes this is fun. What you want to do is push an awl past the grommet and indent it so you can get hold of it with needle-nose pliers. Sometimes you can pry on the awl and slip the grommet out. A narrow-blade screwdriver may work. Now you can scrape the gasket off the bottom of the transmission. Be careful here. That's aluminum, and you can cut a chunk out fairly easy. When you have the bottom of the transmissions and pan cleaned up, you can put the new filter on the transmission. Whatever way you took it off, just reverse the procedure. Take the new gasket and size it to the pan. Sometimes the gasket will not fit but one way for all the holes to line up. It's best to fit it before you put the sticky stuff on. Get some gasket sticking stuff. They make it in a spray can and it works wonderful. When you know how the gasket fits on the pan, put a thin layer of sticky stuff on the pan and then the gasket. I usually put the bolts in the holes to help keep the gasket in place while it driesåor while the gasket sets-up. Start all the bolts before you tighten any. After you get all the bolts started you can tighten them. Note: These bolts will strip the aluminum holes out if you tighten them too much. The best way to tell if you have them tight enough is to watch the gasket as you tighten the bolt. When the gasket starts to squeeze out from the pan, STOP! That's tight enoughådo them all that way. Once you have the pan back in place you can let the vehicle down. You can add four or five quarts of fluid and then crank the engine. Pull the gearshift down into each gear. The idea is to run it through each gear so the fluid will circulate through the transmission. You will want to hold the brake, though. ? Leave the engine running and the transmission in Park. Pull the dip-stick out and see where the fluid is on the stick. Now here, you may have some complications. On transmission dip-sticks the fluid tends to get all over it! But, one side will probably be fairly clean, except where the level is showing. Wipe the stick again with a paper towel and replace it, and pull it back out. Is the fluid level close to the FULL mark? You may have to add some to fill it up. DO NOT overfill! If the fluid level is ?" away from the full mark, just add a half-quart and recheck it. It is better to have the transmission a little bit low than a little bit over full. Transmission fluid expands with heat. It will blow out the seals, and the new gasket! ? Just be sure to have a place to discard the old fluid and filter. If you may have a friend who owns a repair shop that will let you leave it there, great! Or you may have to check with the city-hall and ask them where you can dump it. Please don't pour it out on the ground!!!

You are not using a Follow up Autoresponder? Then better be. </div> <div> If you are SERIOUS about increasing your subscriber database, </div> <div> you need Follow up autoresponders. </div> <bR> <div> What are Follow up autoresponders? </div> <bR> <div> Follow up autoresponders send a series of emails to your prospects </div> <div> that goes at specified intervals. You have complete control on this </div> <div> interval period. </div> <bR> <div> Some of the Follow up Autoresponders: </div> <bR> <div> <U>http://www.autoresponseplus.com/ </U></div> <div> <U>http://www.scripts4webmasters.com/autoresponder.shtml </U></div> <bR> <div> What you can do with your Follow up autoresponder: </div> <bR> <bR> <div> 1. Offer free email courses: </div> <bR> <div> Load your autoresponder with a series of emails as a free course. </div> <div> Name it as 'Mini course that doubles Your profits in 7 days' or </div> <div> something like that. User should really get temptation to </div> <div> subscribe for your course. </div> <bR> <div> Once they subscribe emails will go at the set up intervals. </div> <bR> <div> Remember these tips before offering an email course: </div> <div> =Name your email course something attractive </div> <div> =Don't keep too much gap between your emails </div> <div> =If possible refresh the previous topic in every next email </div> <div> =Keep short URLs </div> <div> =Try to use short courses like 7 - 10 days. It would be </div> <div> interesting for your reader. They should't feel like a classroom </div> <div> =Check the URLs before loading them in to your autoresponder </div> <bR> <bR> <div> 2. Follow up your customer: </div> <bR> <div> After your buyer purchase your product they will be landed on your </div> <div> subscription form. They will enter their name and email address. </div> <div> They will be redirected to your download page. You can set a follow </div> <div> up emails at an interval of 15 or 30 days. Offer some discount in </div> <div> this follow up emails on your other product. Selling a product to </div> <div> your present customer is easier than searching for a new prospect. </div> <div> In this method, you have to keep one form for each of your product. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> 3. Conduct quizzes, polls: </div> <bR> <div> Yes. You can fill your follow up autoresponder with 10 quizz questions </div> <div> and can set up to send it one per day. People that answer all questions </div> <div> correct will get a discount on your product or free product or free </div> <div> membership etc. DON'T forget to keep your product links in each of </div> <div> your emails. This is a kind of advertisement for you. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> 4. Benefit from your Ezine articles: </div> <bR> <div> You write ezine articles. Don't you? Good... </div> <bR> <div> Then load your Follow up autoresponder with 5 - 10 ezine articles and </div> <div> put a subscribe link on your web pages or in your signature file. Send </div> <div> the link to publishers who are willing to receive your articles.

In other words, what do you really value? The </div> <div> main headings are: PEOPLE- THINGS- OTHER, e.g. </div> <div> career. Also finances. That word MONEY again! </div> <bR> <div> Areas of goals: </div> <bR> <div> These can be divided into short, medium and </div> <div> long-term; these respectively being six months, </div> <div> one/two years and five plus years. Also divide them </div> <div> into balanced components, being: personal, family, </div> <div> social and work goals. Then break them down further into: </div> <bR> <div> * Spiritual </div> <div> * Mental </div> <div> * Physical </div> <div> * Financial </div> <div> * Family </div> <div> * Community/School </div> <bR> <div> Remember that over-concentration on one of your </div> <div> goals will not ensure success. A car can only run well </div> <div> if all the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure... </div> <div> and if it has four wheels! </div> <bR> <div> The art of goalsetting is to balance all of these areas. </div> <div> If one area is out of proportion in your wheel of life, </div> <div> it affects everything else. Your wheel of life should </div> <div> be rounded evenly and balanced, so that it gives a </div> <div> smooth ride. Unlike mine. Currently my social life is </div> <div> pathetic; so I am joining "rent-a-friend", as I'm way </div> <div> too obsessed with my work, my writing and spend </div> <div> far too much time focussed on it... instead of </div> <div> having more FUN ! </div> <bR> <div> A thought... </div> <div> Perhaps it's about time I slowed down in my article </div> <div> submissions and set a goal of using that time for pure </div> <div> relaxation! How's that for a goal? </div> <bR> <div> TIPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS </div> <bR> <div> 1. Give yourself permission to dream and desire. Put </div> <div> aside (asmuch as you can) all reason and logic. If you </div> <div> don't have a goal, you have nothing to aim for and </div> <div> no plan of action. Without a goalyou are just kicking </div> <div> a ball around. Think creatively by using your </div> <div> imagination in setting targets. </div> <bR> <div> 2. Make a master dream list. It is important to write </div> <div> down everything you want and need. Every place you </div> <div> want to go and everything you would like to become </div> <div> or achieve. These need not be high ideals, but </div> <div> genuine wants, eg. putting food on the table (most </div> <div> important for "starving" writers - hint hint, say no </div> <div> more, say no more!), a new car, beach house, </div> <div> swimming pool, yacht. A "proper job" for </div> <div> writers like me, perhaps! </div> <bR> <div> 3. Aim high: Stretch yourself to your limit and you </div> <div> will achieve more than you believed possible. The </div> <div> higher the level of conscious goals, the greater their </div> <div> motivating power. </div> <bR> <div> 4. Prioritise your Goals. Start off with some easy goals </div> <div> to get you in the 'habit of achieving'. Know where </div> <div> you are now and how you got there. (" How the s... </div> <div> did I get where I am now?). Look at yourself and learn </div> <div> from others. These goals must be compatible </div> <div> with your inner values. Values are what we hold to </div> <div> be important at the deepest level of our being. Doing </div> <div> this will make them far more likely to be achieved. </div> <bR> <div> 5. Set a time limit for achieving them. It's important </div> <div> to set a deadline...but it doesn't have to be "set in </div> <div> concrete". Don't let something drag on for three </div> <div> years that could have been achieved in one year. </div> <div> Set short-term goals: tomorrow, next week, next </div> <div> month. Also set long range goals which will require </div> <div> vision, courage and foresight. Finally, set your </div> <div> ultimate goals like, becoming an All Black or Springbok </div> <div> (these are rugby football players from New Zealand </div> <div> and South Africa for "ignorant Americans"- oops, er, </div> <div> sorry!), a Judge, or some grand purpose, etc.... as </div> <div> long as that is what you really desire. List the steps </div> <div> needed or smaller goals required to be achieved on </div> <div> the path to your ultimate goal. By breaking them </div> <div> down they will seem more attainable and once each </div> <div> minor goal is attained will bring you closer to the </div> <div> ultimate goal. List the skills, qualifications or traits </div> <div> you will need to achieve them. </div> <bR> <div> 6. Be inspired: Receive regular inspiration and </div> <div> enthusiasm through reading and other motivational </div> <div> material (like this book- PLUG, PLUG). Also elpful is </div> <div> frequent contact with a person or people who inspire </div> <div> and enthuse you. </div> <bR> <div> 7. Focus on your goal like a laser and go after it every </div> <div> day Don't be discouraged - sometimes "one step </div> <div> backwards comes before a leap forward". "Dare to </div> <div> be different to others", if that is just being "the real" </div> <div> YOU. Don't allow the future to act on you. Act on </div> <div> the future. Don't see yourself as a powerless victim </div> <div> of circumstances, but rather as one having many </div> <div> choices to take any path you CHOOSE to move your </div> <div> life forward. N.B. Goals should be written down and </div> <div> regularly reviewed. This makes for focussing ones </div> <div> thoughts and COMMITMENT in seeing them through. </div> <div> Write each goal on a list and as you achieve it, tick it </div> <div> off and enter a new goal. Act immediately on your </div> <div> short-term goals, as only ACTION will get you there. </div> <div> Have balance in your dreams and be honest and </div> <div> realistic with yourself. A goal is either meaningful in </div> <div> itself or as a means to an end. </div> <bR> <div> More Goal Tips </div> <bR> <div> * Start first with your longer term goals and break </div> <div> them down; if you start with short term goals you </div> <div> will end up with more of the same. </div> <bR> <div> * Focus first on the overall outcome, not how you </div> <div> will achieve the goal or you will limit yourself.Then the </div> <div> amazing power of your creative imagination (in the </div> <div> form of your subconscious mind) will come up with </div> <div> the plan on HOW to achieve your goals. The answer </div> <div> may come to you immediately or take a while... and </div> <div> then come to you in unexpected moments, like in </div> <div> the shower. Usually at times when you are most relaxed. </div> <bR> <div> * Don't be obsessive about goals - let them happen, </div> <div> don't force them. (I must earn that one and let "life </div> <div> take it's course"!). </div> <bR> <div> * Be flexible and be aware of the unexpected, which </div> <div> may be a stepping stone to your goal in disguise. </div> <bR> <div> * Involve your spouse/partner/those "nearest and </div> <div> dearest to you" in goal setting.Shared family goals </div> <div> have more meaning and the commitment to achieving </div> <div> them is greater. </div> <bR> <div> THE SECRET IS TO VISUALISE YOUR GOALS </div> <div> AS ALREADY BEING ACHIEVED </div> <bR> <div> "We should all be concerned about visualising the </div> <div> future, because we will have to spend the rest of </div> <div> our lives there."- anon Visualisation is the technique </div> <div> used by top sportspeople to achieve results. </div> <div> Successful people make things happen and use the </div> <div> process of Goal Setting. Ask yourself whether you are </div> <div> a goal-setter or goal-getter? You are not as stuck down </div> <div> in a rut as you may think. You have far more choices </div> <div> than you could ever imagine. </div> <bR> <div> GOALS - THE FIVE KEY QUESTIONS </div> <div> "The important thing is to identify what you need </div> <div> to do AND THEN DO IT!" </div> <bR> <div> * Which? </div> <bR> <div> What do you really want? Break down into needs </div> <div> and wants, e.g.. yacht, pool, new car, beach house, </div> <div> holiday. Also set tangible and intangible goals. </div> <bR> <div> * Why? </div> <div> If it is not planned, it doesn't happen. </div> <bR> <div> *When? </div> <div> Goals must have a time frame. Long range goals </div> <div> should have checkpoints and a completion date. </div> <div> Who? Goals involve others : </div> <bR> <div> # Business (the boss, manager) </div> <bR> <div> # Personal (wife/husband/partner) </div> <div> How? </div> <div> What is the blueprint? You can't build without plans. </div> <div> The reason why you must have specific goals. Don't </div> <div> Forget: </div> <div> A. Involve others. </div> <div> B. State goals in terms of measurable results. </div> <div> C. Set target dates. </div> <div> D. Be specific. </div> <div> Criteria for Setting EFFECTIVE Goals </div> <div> They: </div> <div> # Should make you enthusiastic and excite you. </div> <div> # Must be truly your OWN goals - meaningful to YOU </div> <div> only. </div> <div> # Must be based on real desires. </div> <div> # Must be consistent with your values </div> <div> and be purposeful. </div> <div> # Must be written down. </div> <div> # Must lift our sights, yet be realistic and </div> <div> attainable. </div> <div> # Must be specific and measurable. </div> <div> # Must be compatible with your other goals. </div> <div> # Must have a starting and completion date. </div> <div> # Keep written goals in front of you. </div> <div> # Should be dynamic, but not set in </div> <div> concrete. </div> <bR> <div> GOAL DESIGN </div> <bR> <div> 1. ITEMISE </div> <div> - list possible goals </div> <div> - don't analyse at this stage </div> <bR> <div> 2. CATEGORISE </div> <div> - personal/family/work (use headings from </div> <div> the Wheel of Life). </div> <bR> <div> 3. PRIORITISE </div> <div> - relate to what you value and rank. </div> <bR> <div> 4. CRYSTALLISE </div> <div> - make specific and clear, use the KISS principle ("keep </div> <div> it simple, stupid"). Oops, sorry my dear reader! </div> <bR> <div> Remember that goals are dreams which come true. </div> <div> Most people give up on their dreams too soon or, </div> <div> like me in the past, don't aim high enough and </div> <div> achieve them too easily and quickly. Except in </div> <div> writing! </div> <bR> <div> N.B: The essence of goal setting is: </div> <bR> <div> COMMITMENT </div> <bR> <div> DISCIPLINE </div> <bR> <div> DETERMINATION </div> <div> I really believe that. This entire planning process might </div> <div> take a few days. </div> <bR> <div> GOALS </div> <bR> <div> 1. If it's not in writing, it is not a goal. It is a New </div> <div> Year resolution. </div> <div> 2. If it's not specific, it's not a goal. </div> <div> 3. 'Goals must be believable, inspirational and </div> <div> expandable'. </div> <div> 4. An effective goal is an exciting challenge. </div> <div> 5. Goals must be adjusted to new information. </div> <div> 6. Dynamic goals guide our choices. </div> <div> 7. Don't set short-term goals for longer than </div> <div> ninety days. </div> <div> 8. Maintain a balance between long-term and </div> <div> short-term goals. </div> <div> 9. Include your loved ones in your goals. </div> <div> 10. Set goals in all areas of your life. </div> <div> 11. Your goals must harmonise with your life. </div> <div> 12. Review your goals regularly. </div> <div> 13. Set vivid goals. </div> <div> 14. Don't chisel your goals in granite/set in </div> <div> concrete. </div> <div> 15. Reach out into the future. </div> <div> 16. Have a set of goals for every day, </div> <div> and review results every night. </div> <div> 17. Train yourself to crave your goals. </div> <div> 18. Set activity goals, not production goals </div> <div> (salespeople). </div> <div> 19. Understand luck, and make it work </div> <div> for you. </div> <div> 20. START NOW! </div> <bR> <div> If you don't break your yearly objectives down into </div> <div> first quarterly and then monthly/weekly/daily activity </div> <div> targets, you cannot keep on track. Marathon runners </div> <div> keep going not by focusing on the whole course, </div> <div> but on the next drink station, the bottom of the hill, </div> <div> and when the pain comes, the next lamp post. </div> <bR> <div> The plans we make to achieve our dreams are the </div> <div> blueprints for success. A written plan focuses the </div> <div> mind on goals. Intermediate steps move one step </div> <div> by step closer to success. </div> <bR> <div> You should regularly review whether you are on </div> <div> track (e.g.. monthly, quarterly, yearly). Goal setting </div> <div> must be an ongoing process. Goals that are no </div> <div> longer meaningful must be replaced by ones that are. </div> <bR> <div> " A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single </div> <div> step." </div> <div> - Mao Tse Tung </div> <bR> <div> I really like that one. No wonder I repeat it so often </div> <div> (the first signs of impending </div> <div> senility, perhaps???). </div> <bR> <div> Mark Spitz, the American swimmer, won nothing at </div> <div> the Mexico Olympics in 1968. Bitterly disappointed, </div> <div> he dreamt of winning 7 goal medals at the next </div> <div> Olympics in Munich in 1972 and set a target of the </div> <div> times he would achieve in each event. He won those </div> <div> seven medals with times within 100th of a second </div> <div> of what he had said he would do. He developed his </div> <div> plan and a rigorous training regime. His goal became </div> <div> an obsession which overcame everything else... yet </div> <div> Mark Spitz became a legend and achieved greatness. </div> <bR> <div> Thomas Edison tried 2000 times to invent a light </div> <div> bulb. He didn't see it as 2000 failures, but rather </div> <div> as a process to be gone through. He didn't take it </div> <div> personally, but saw his efforts as 2000 ways that did </div> <div> not work. Every time an idea didn't work, it got Edison </div> <div> a step closer to his ultimate goal - SUCCESS. That is </div> <div> what kept him going. In a word, PERSISTENCE. </div> <bR> <div> Even countries have set goals. After being defeated </div> <div> n World War II, Germany was totally devastated. </div> <div> However, Germany is now one of the economic </div> <div> giants of Europe. Another defeated nation, Japan, </div> <div> which only had .3 of the world's land and 3 of </div> <div> the population now has 10 of the global trade. </div> <div> The nation's leaders set goals for these countries </div> <div> after the war, which seemed impossible at the time, </div> <div> but were achieved. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> The motto: Forget the mistakes of the past and </div> <div> press on to the greater achievements of the future. </div> <div> Remember that setting a new goal is the first step </div> <div> towards a positive plan of action; because without </div> <div> a goal you have no target, nothing to aim for. </div> <bR> <div> "Challenges are a chance to boost motivation, seize </div> <div> them like gold dust." </div> <bR> <div> SUMMARY </div> <div> Set SMART goals </div> <div> S - specific </div> <div> M - measurable </div> <div> A - achievable </div> <div> R - realistic </div> <div> T- with a time-frame. </div> <bR> <div> There is nothing more exciting and inspirational than </div> <div> new goals. Our attitude to ourselves determines our </div> <div> ability to set and achieve goals. Whatever your self-image, </div> <div> you project it to other people and it becomes a </div> <div> self-fulfilling prophecy. </div> <bR> <div> With positive attitudes (subject of the following </div> <div> chapter) and a good self image, our enthusiasm for </div> <div> challenges will be heightened, as well as for life in </div> <div> general. This results in greater job satisfaction, as </div> <div> well as living an emotionally healthy life filled with </div> <div> meaning and purpose. </div> <bR> <div> Remember, negative attitudes in other people can </div> <div> easily block your goals. I don't expect people to </div> <div> understand what I'm trying to achieve in my personal </div> <div> goals; but I'm getting there. Slowly! They are MINE </div> <div> alone and I believe are right for ME! Raise your </div> <div> sights high and dare to be different. In our society </div> <div> we are conditioned to follow the leader. N.B: Follow </div> <div> your own heart in setting your goals. </div> <bR> <div> If you've set goals, but have had difficulty with your </div> <div> goals in the last 3 months, it may be because of </div> <div> the following: </div> <div> 1. Your goals were not realistic. </div> <div> 2. Your goals were not clear and specific. </div> <div> 3. Your goals were not written in the present tense. </div> <div> E.g.. 'I have now cleared all my short term debts </div> <div> and I have saved X$ (or pounds')...'I now weigh </div> <div> my ideal body weight of...' Well done "Jumbo"! </div> <div> 4. You weren't really committed to your goals </div> <div> and/or they were not appropriate for you. </div> <bR> <div> A final few words of wisdom (even if I say so myself) </div> <div> to end off this chapter... </div> <bR> <div> WE GET WHAT WE EXPECT </div> <bR> <div> DON'T ALLOW THE FUTURE TO ACT ON YOU </div> <bR> <div> ACT ON THE FUTURE </div> <bR> <div> "There are those people who make it happen, those </div> <div> who watch it happen, and those who don't even </div> <div> know it happened." </div> <bR> <div> WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO BE? </div> <bR> <div> Craig Lock </div> <div> <U>http://www.bridgeniche.com/CLOCK/zaniestbooks.htm </U></div> <bR> <div> P.S: WITH FAITH AND PERSISTENCE, </div> <div> YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU SET </div> <div> OUT TO DO. </div> <bR> <div> "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. </div> <div> Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." </div> <div> - Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe (German philosopher) </div> <bR> <div> BECOME ALL THE PERSON YOU ARE CAPABLE OF </div> <div> BEING. </div> <bR> <div> P.S: </div> <div> As the ancient Chinese philosopher said so well, </div> <bR> <bR> <div> "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a ... </div> <div> broken fan belt and a flat tyre"... </div> <div> er sorry... </div> <bR> <div> a single step. </div> <bR> <div> "A wish is just a wish, </div> <div> A New Years Resolution is just a resolution. </div> <div> Goals have deadlines and are the stepping stones down the </div> <div> path, </div> <div> the stair-case to your dreams." </div> <div> - Craig Lock </div> <bR> <div> There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that </div> <div> flows through (and from), the Source of our Being, the </div> <div> Spirit </div> <div> of God, Life.

Your visitors will have a richer experience with your site when there is more content. Not only can they buy the widgets you are selling, but they can also learn more about how to select widgets, exciting news from the world of widgets, and so on. </div> <div> The more pages you add to your website, the better chance the already visiting search engine robots will also pick up your new pages to be indexed. More pages mean more links. Be sure to make an archive of your articles on your website. Always keep your pages in directories close to the root of your site for optimum indexing by the search engine robots. </div> <div> Submit to the search engines. As always you will want to submit your new pages to the mainstream search engines and directories. In addition, look for specialized, topical directories that deal with your particular subject. There are also many general business directories available.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#top_of_page" TITLE="Articles chucksgreenoil"><U>top of page</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
