Billionaire Larry Ellison, the 3rd richest American according to Forbes, has purchased Lanai which is the 6th largest Hawaiian island.
At $500,000,000 it was quite a steal considering it breaks down to a tiny 0.13 cents a square foot. A great 500 million USD investment by the Oracle CEO.
Lanai is a destination of untouched tranquility, relaxation and tranquility. A golfers paradise, no distraction or hustle and bustle like Oahu.
This romantic island is a true getaway, though they also have a Four Seasons five star hotel.
The rich get richer. Congratulations, Mr. Ellison on obtaining Hawaii’s most enticing island. Well played sir and Aloha.
Suggestion is Power. Chapter 4 of the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol.
Suggestion is power. Repetition of mantras, words or formulas is basic to all religions and play their part.
This brings us to the power of suggestion and autosuggestion which causes the subconscious mind to begin its creative work.
Once belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen. It is the law of suggestion.
Suggestion is power – through raising our expectations. It’s the ACT of BELIEVING that is the starting force or generating power that leads to successful accomplishment
Suggestion is a powerful weapon in the hands of anyone who knows how to use it positively.
“ Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.” – Claude Bristol
Portugal gave up 1 goal in their entire 4 games in World Cup 2010. That was one goal too many as Spain’s David Villa knocked arch-rival Portugal out of the Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo did not perform any magic. Ronaldo, Messi etc, great individual players are not scoring at all. Great teams are scoring just fine.
Offense gets the glory. Defense wins the game.
Spain survives and lives to fight another day. They luck out playing Paraguay in the quarterfinals. My Lock is Uruguay over Ghana. While world #1 Brazil battles Holland and Argentina is in a war with Germany who crushed England.
Those two quarterfinal matches would normally be worthy of a World Cup Final. And yes, my Brackets are still perfect in this extremely predictable World Cup. 8-0 in round of 16.
