Ternyata Pilihannya Sepatu Tomkins

Setiap tahun ajaran baru kami selalu mengajak anak-anak untuk membeli sepatu baru. Kami biasa membelinya di Mitra Swalayan. Sekarang toko tersebut sudah tidak ada (baru satu tahun tutup). Kebetulan adik saya salah satu karyawan di sana. Tak jarang saya mengutarakan niat saya membelikan sepatu anak-anak kepadanya. Dia menyarankan untuk membelinya pada saat diskon toko.

Kami mulai mencari-cari sepatu yang cocok untuk anak-anak dan melibatkan langsung anak-anak untuk memilih sepatu yang disukainya. Di toko banyak pilihan sepatu yang bagus-bagus. Sebelum kegiatan eksplorasi saya memperingatkan anak-anak supaya mencari sepatu yang bagus, kuat dan tahan lama. Sambil menunggu anak-anak memilih, saya mendatangi adik saya dan bertanya apa kiranya sepatu yang bagus dan kuat? Dia mulai menjelaskan dengan sepatu Tomkins.

Katanya, sepatu Tomkins aja modelnya bagus dan kuat. “Alah, semua sepatu paling sama saja, kalau nggak atasnya yang jebol, outsolenya trepes atau lem-lemannya mengelupas. Trik pabrik sepatu supaya laris,” kata saya. “Sampeyan belum tahu sejarahnya sih,” katanya sambil mulai meyakinkan. “Ah sama aja,” pikir saya.

Tak lama kemudian anak-anak menghampiri saya dan menunjukkan pilihan sepatunya. “Ini Ma, sepatunya bagus kayaknya kuat, Mas suka!” anak saya yang pertama membiasakan dirinya panggilan mas kepada adiknya. Si adik pun tak kalah argumen dengan masnya. Adik menunjukkan sepatu pilihannya yang tak beda jauh dengan kakak. Karena memang kakaknya selalu menjadi inspirasinya. Mereka memang akrab dan saling ngobrol jika menginginkan sesuatu.

Tak terasa hampir satu jam, kami berada di toko. Saya mulai melihat-lihat sepatu pilihan anak-anak dan berniat membawanya ke kasir. Ternyata pilihan sepatu anak-anak adalah Tomkins. Adik saya pun tersenyum memandangi kami seolah berkata “benarkan sepatu Tomkins banyak yang menyukainya”. Sayapun membalasnya tersenyum dan berlalu.

Di rumah saya memandangi sepatu anak-anak. Dalam hati berkata memang modelnya bagus sesuai dengan keinginan anak-anak dan tampaknya kuat. Saya mulai berdiskusi kecil dengan suami saya dan bertanya kenapa pabrik sepatu bisa mengerti keinginan anak-anak? atau anak-anak yang menyukai produk sepatu buatan pabrik? Suamiku pun menyarankanku untuk menggali sendiri jawaban-jawabannya dengan bertanya kepada mbah Google yang paling tahu.

Mulailah saya dengan pencarian melalui Google tentang sepatu Tomkins. Ternyata sepatu Tomkins adalah buatan lokal Indonesia. Saya tidak menyangka dari namanya kelihatan sepatu luar negeri atau paling tidak produk Perusahaan Asing.  Dari hasil pencarian saya, pada awal pendiriannya merupakan perusahaan PMDN yang memproduksi sepatu sport untuk tujuan ekspor. Perseroan memiliki buyer utama Reebok yang berasal dari Amerika. Reebok merupakan salah satu merek sepatu internasional. Pantesan dulu di toko-toko banyak sepatu merek Reebok yang terkenal kuat. Tahun 90an sepatu ini jadi andalan. Pada tahun 2002 Reebok menghentikan ordernya karena melakukan relokasi usaha. Maka mulailah Perseroan yang kini bernama  PT. Primarindo Asia Infrastucture yang beralamat di Jl. Raya Ranca Bolang No. 98 Gedebage – Bandung Indonesia merintis penjualan sepatu di pasar dalam negeri dengan merek Tomkins.  

Gayung bersambut, masyarakat dapat menerima keberadaan nama dan model sepatu Tomkins. Ditambah lagi dengan perkembangan teknologi canggih internet semua orang bisa mengakses website sepatu Tomkins http://www.tomkins.id . Disana banyak tersedia pilihan aneka model sepatu dari anak-anak hingga dewasa laki-laki maupun perempuan. Beberapa model diantaranya sepatu casual, sepatu sekolah, sepatu futsal, sepatu touring, sepatu gunung, sepatu olahraga dan lainnya. Bentuknya modis dan harganya terjangkau. Memang benar jika dikatakan kalau Perusahaan Sepatu Tomkins merupakan pemimpin di industri sepatu Indonesia.  Selalu saja ada inovasi dan model terbaru sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan keinginan masyarakat Indonesia.

Makna dan Arti #BahagiadiRumah bagi Seorang Ibu Rumah Tangga bukan Pekerja

Terimakasih kepada Tabloid Nova yang telah memberi kesempatan mengungkapkan pikiran mengenai makna dan arti #BahagiadiRumah bagi seorang Ibu Rumah Tangga bukan Pekerja

melalui tulisan blog pada Novaversary Ulang Tahun ke-28 Tabloid Nova.

Hakikat Bahagia

Di awal pencarian jati diri seseorang, pastilah ia mencari kebahagiaan. Pada dasarnya bahagia itu adalah suatu pencapaian perasaan yang bisa didapatkan seseorang setelah melalui sebuah proses. Sebagian mendefinisikan bahagia seperti ketika dia mendapatkan hadiah, lulus ujian, diterima kerja, mendapatkan pacar, jatuh cinta, menikah, punya anak dan lain sebagainya. Itu semua bisa dicapai melalui sebuah proses. Contoh; untuk mendapatkan hadiah seseorang harus mengikuti kuis, lomba, atau undian. Seseorang mendapatkan penghargaan karena prestasinya dalam studi atau prestasi di masyarakat. Ketika nama siswa tercantum dalam daftar lulus ujian maka dia akan merasa bahagia. Ketika sekarang mencari pekerjaan susah dan seseorang diterima bekerja maka dia akan merasa bahagia dan bangga karena lolos seleksi diantara ribuan orang. Seseorang jatuh cinta maka setiap hari dia merasa bahagia bila berjumpa dengan pujaan hatinya. Bahkan semenit pun tak bertemu serasa seminggu. Begitu berbunga-bunganya. Seseorang merasa sangat bahagia bisa menikahi pujaan hatinya dan merencanakan harapan-harapan yang mungkin akan mereka miliki. Setelah menikah mereka ingin memiliki anak, rumah, kendaraan dan hidup bahagia tanpa kekurangan. Seorang ibu berkeinginan hamil dan memiliki anak yang sehat dan lucu. Semua itu tidak akan ada dengan sendirinya tanpa suatu upaya dan usaha dari seseorang yang memiliki asa.

Menyambut Bahagia

Seorang wanita pekerja menemukan pasangannya dan memutuskan untuk menjadi ibu rumah tangga biasa bukan pekerja. Di awal pernikahan merasa bahagia karena impiannya menikah dengan pujaan hatinya telah terwujud. Namun rumah semakin lama terasa hampa karena belum hadirnya sang anak. Kemudian dia hamil dan berharap mendapatkan anak yang normal, sehat dan sholeh/sholehah. Dia merasa sangat bahagia ketika janin dalam perutnya mulai membesar dan akan menyambut dunia. Oek...oek... tangisan bayi terdengar, betapa gembira ibu dan ayah bayi ini dengan kehadirannya. Apapun kebutuhan bayi mulai dipersiapkan. Namun tak disadari pekerjaan rumah menjadi bertambah sejak kedatangnnya. Mulai dari mencuci pakaian, menyusui, memasak hingga merawat bayi. Disini ibu berperan sebagai pelayan yang harus menyediakan waktu dan tenaganya untuk anak dan suami. Namun dia merasa bahagia dan menganggapnya sebagai anugerah yang diberikan Tuhan. Tanpa mempersoalkan kelelahan yang dialaminya. Dia merawat keluarganya dengan kasih sayang yang tak terhingga. 

Peran Ibu terhadap Anak-anaknya

Pada dasarnya kebutuhan seseorang meliputi kebutuhan fisik, psikis, sosial, dan spiritual. Kebutuhan fisik merupakan kebutuhan makan, minum, pakaian, tempat tinggal, dan lainnya. Psikis meliputi kebutuhan akan kasih sayang, rasa aman, diterima, dan dihargai. Ibu banyak mewarnai dan mempengaruhi perkembangan pribadi, perilaku, dan akhlak anak. Anak melihat dan  mengamati gerak gerik/tingkah laku ibu. Ibu mengajak berbicara anaknya akan mengembangkan proses bicara anak. Perkembangan mental anak sangat ditentukan oleh motivasi/stimulasi yang diberikan ibu. Sosok ibu dituntut untuk terus meningkatkan kualitas diri dengan memperkaya diri akan ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan seni demi keberhasilan dan kesuksesan anak di kemudian hari. Salah satu contoh menambah pengetahuan dengan banyak membaca Tabloid Nova yang sarat dengan ilmu tentang memasak dan kewanitaan. 

Tanggung Jawab Ibu terhadap Keluarganya

Dengan cinta ibu selalu memperhatikan keadaan setiap anggota keluarga dan mengusahakan yang terbaik. Sehingga  tercipta keluarga yang penuh kasih sayang dan kehangatan. Banyak hal yang harus dilakukan ibu rumah tangga  setiap hari. Ibu  mengatur rumah, keuangan serta kesehatan keluarga. Bersih-bersih rumah, mencuci baju, memasak, mengurus keuangan keluarga dilakukannya agar kehidupan rumah tangga menjadi teratur. Ibu mengajarkan nilai-nilai dasar yang penting seperti saling menghormati dan menghargai satu sama lain, jujur, saling menolong, sopan santun dan sebagainya. Ini berpengaruh pada kejiwaan anak agar menjadi jiwa yang tegar, mandiri, pengertian, jujur, nasionalis dan patriotis. Penjelasan ini menunjukkan betapa besar tanggung jawab ibu terhadap keluarganya di rumah. Dengan melihat keluarganya tersenyum bahagia, anak-anak yang sehat, keluarga yang harmonis, rukun saling menyayangi. Seorang ibu yang mencurahkan seluruh waktunya untuk keluarga di rumah, membuatnya merasa bangga akan hasil kerjanya. Ibu tak perlu mencari kebahagiaan diluar karena sudah mendapatkan yang berlebih dari keluarganya di rumah.

Kunci Kebahagiaan di Rumah

Yang terpenting dalam hal ini adalah seorang ibu menjadi diri sendiri tidak meniru orang lain, memiliki waktu untuk merenung dan bersyukur, menyempatkan diri mengikuti kegiatan kampung agar tidak bosan dengan rutinitas keseharian, mengajak anak-anak melakukan hobi bersama, menjadualkan liburan bersama keluarga, menciptakan suasana berbeda setiap waktu agar berkumpul keluarga di rumah sangat menyenangkan dan membahagiakan. 

Agar menjadi ibu yang bahagia, perbanyak pengetahuan memasak dengan membaca Tabloid Nova dan praktekkan. Mengikuti lomba menulis blog pada Novaversary (Ultah ke 28 Tablid Nova). Disini pujian dan penghargaan dari anggota keluarga menjadikan ibu bahagia. Ibu tidak pernah mengeluh akan menjadikan spirit/semangat bagi anak-anak untuk bahagia. 

Peran Fashion di Hari Kartini

Tanggal 21 April adalah hari lahir Ibu Kartini. Seorang wanita Jawa yang telah membangkitkan emansipasi wanita Indonesia. Melalui surat-surat yang dikirimkannya kepada Abendanon seorang sahabatnya yang berasal dari Belanda, terciptalah buku "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang." Buku ini menceritakan betapa wanita dahulu berada dalam kehidupan yang terkungkung, sempit pemikiran dan jalannya dikarenakan adat dan tradisi yang berlaku masa itu.

Hanya anak orang-orang bangsawan yang bisa mengenyam pendidikan. Rakyat jelata hanya diperbudak. Para bangsawan telah berhasil menciptakan tradisi loyal bagi rakyatnya untuk ngawula. Bagi mereka ngawula menjadi sebuah penghormatan dan mendapat kesempatan untuk dekat dengan kehidupan para bangsawan. Di masyarakat juga akan dihormati.

Jaman semakin berkembang, orang-orang yang menginginkan perubahan mendapatkan tentangan pada saat itu. Bahkan mereka dianggap pemberontak kepada suatu tradisi yang sangat dihormati masyarakat. Munculnya pendidikan modern dan keterbukaan pada informasi, hubungan dengan negara lain semakin memperkuat adanya perubahan tersebut. Lihat saja cara orang-orang berpakaian. Sebagian menerapkan fashion yang dianggapnya gaul namun kurang santun. Sebagian orang yang menggunakan fashion sederhana malah terkesan ndeso atau ketinggalan.

Di hari Kartini para siswa dan instansi mewajibkan anggotanya memakai baju adat/tradisional. Ini mengingatkan kepada kita bahwa adat dan tradisi berpakaian santun jangan pernah ditinggalkan. Lihat betapa indahnya anak-anak ketika menggunakan baju adat. Kesan apa yang terlihat? Mereka berpakaian santun tapi bermartabat. Dari tahun ke tahun fashion adat tak pernah ketinggalan jaman. Malah tampil semakin keren.

Kenapa hari lahir Kartini yang dijadikan momen kebangkitan peranan wanita? Kenapa bukan pahlawan wanita lainnya? Itulah yang sering ditanyakan orang-orang. Memang banyak pejuang dan pahlawan wanita yang beremansipasi dalam perjuangan dan kebangkitan negara. Tetapi bila ditetapkannya pada hari lahir pahlawan wanita yang lain. Pertanyaan yang muncul akan sama. Oleh karena itu kita harus melihat perbedaan antara pahlawan wanita RA. Kartini dengan yang lainnya.

Ini melibatkan peran seorang wanita Belanda yang bernama Abendanon. Beliau memiliki bukti pemikiran-pemikiran kartini dan ini mewakili pemikiran para pejuang wanita pada jaman dahulu. Untuk semakin mengukuhkan pemikiran-pemikiran cemerlang tersebut, disatukanlah dalam sebuah buku yang berjudul "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang". Itulah alasan kenapa digunakan tanggal kelahiran Kartini sebagai hari penting nasional yang harus diperingati.

Aneka Rajutan (knitting)

Hasil dari merajut disebut rajutan. Banyak macam rajutan yang terbuat dari benang rajut, seperti baju, switer, kaos kaki, topi, dll. Merajut memang nampak sulit bagi orang yang hanya melihat tapi tidak berminat mengetahui bagaimana cara merajut. Merajut bisa menggunakan tangan dengan bantuan jarum rajut. Selain itu merajut juga menggunakan mesin. Sekarang ini teknologi merajut sudah sangat maju. Rajutan bisa dihasilkan dalam skala besar menggunakan mesin rajut. Tidak hanya di Indonesia, di negara-negara asia lainnya merajut sudah sangat dikenal. Contoh Rajutan asal Korea. Saat ini banyak sekali orang memasarkan rajutan model Korea dengan harga terjangkau. Bisa dibilang murah daripada merajut dengan tangan.

Result of knitting is knits. Some kinds of knits made from yarn are: cloths, sweater, socks, hat, etc. Knitting looks like difficult for people who only look but do not want to know how to make it. Knitting usually made by hand using knit needle. Beside hand, knitting is also using machine. Now we have modern knitting technology. We can make knits in big scale using machine. In Asia countries knitting is well known, example Korean knitting. In the internet many people sell Korean knitting in low price.

Saya teringat ketika kecil ibu membuatkan baju rajutan yang dirajut dengan tangannya sendiri. Beliau juga merajut tepi sprei, taplak meja, tas dll. Merajut butuh ketelatenan dan perasaan senang ketika merajut. Dijamin hasilnya akan sangat bagus dan indah. Baju rajutan jika dipakai tampak feminin, ini dikarenakan sifat benang yang elastis. Bagi wanita yang berbadan langsing ok-ok saja.  Tapi yang perut bergelambir, selulit disarankan tidak menggunakan pakaian yang fit body karena akan semakin menampakkan lekuk-lekuk tubuh yang tidak semestinya. Sehingga kelihatan tidak sedap dipandang. Anda masih bisa menggunakan baju dengan kain yang tidak fit body tapi jangan terlalu gombor, sehingga membentuk badan tidak berbentuk lagi. Anda bisa menggunakan bentuk sweater yang menutupi bentuk perut atau menggunakan baju rajut yang terbuka di bagian depannya.

I remembered my mother when I was child, mother made me knit cloths by her hand. She made also lace knitting, table mat, hand bag, etc. Knitting needs patience and joy. Guaranteed the product will be beautiful and fashionable. The people who wears knitting cloth looks feminine. It is because of the elasticity of yarn. For woman who has slimming body is right, but for people who has cellulite in their stomach will not be good to wear the fit body of cloth. You can wear sweater or the cloth which opener in front. It will cover your stomach. 

Di daerah dingin bentuk rajutan yang biasa dipakai berbentuk sweater atau syal. Syal dikalungkan di leher sehingga memberikan rasa hangat. 

In the cold area the people usually wears sweater or scarf. It feels warm.

7 TIPS REGARDING EARN CASH FOR PAID SURVEYS

Here are a few tips to consider before joining a survey company.

1. If the survey company is asking you to pay a membership, you can almost be 100% certain it is a scam. The survey company should be paying you (monetarily or gifts), not the other way around.

2. If the company is asking you to pay for paid surveys list, you can pretty much surmise the only one making money on this effort is the operator of the list. Needless to say, they are either a middleman or low-life scammer.

3. If they are asking for credit card information, that should be an immediate RED flag. Don’t give out your credit card information to anyone unless you truly trust the source. Next thing you know, you will probably see some unauthorized charges on the next billing cycle.

4. Remember that legitimate survey companies are using your feedback to make important business decisions relating to demographics, marketing, product development, and advertising. For example, when you try/test a product sample or a service in a store, the survey marketing company or the producer is gaining valuable research information.

5. If you do find a legitimate survey company, make sure the payout level is fairly low. See if the company pays out in the first place and was it in a timely manner. I imagine it would take a lot of surveys to attain a $50 or $100 payout.

6. Be extremely wary of claims of making outrageous amounts of money with surveys. The operators are just trying to bait you into buying their programs. Making money on the Internet is not an easy endeavor. It is like anything else worthwhile in life; you really have to work hard at it.

7. Remember the old US postal axiom: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Now that sounds like good advice. Caveat emptor!

Easy Business with Payment Processor

We have known about the payment processor like Paypal, E-gold, 2checkout, Strompay, E-bullion, Goldmoney, Intgold, Netpay, Pecunix, Webmoney, Western union, Moneygram and Moneybookers.

I use paypal for my business. It is very easy for me. Written Protection Policy for buyer who uses Paypal state that he/she can make complaint int0 45 days, if buyer still not received the ordered goods or if the ordered goods not like the seller description.

If buyer using credit card will get refund of chargeback from credit card company, Paypal is also protect buyer from refund or lied complaint from buyer depend on the situation and clue.

Written protection policy for seller had been designed for protecting seller from buyer's claim who recognize that he/she has sent money but no payment bill and transaction records. Every buying using Paypal always has transaction record in Paypal account of sender and receiver. It is rightly as a proof that have been sent money between both.

We can conclude that Paypal is more safer from other online payment tool for sender and receiver because of transaction record and can make complain.

Morning Sickness

Morning sickness refers to the nausea and vomiting that some women have when they become pregnant. It is caused by the sudden increase in hormones during pregnancy. Although morning sickness is more common in the morning, it can occur at anytime of the day or night.

Morning sickness is not harmful to you or your baby, but if you experience excessive vomiting and cannot keep your food down, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum. Hyperemesis gravidarum can be harmful to you and your baby if severe and left untreated, due to the possible lack of nutrients and electrolyte imbalance. The most important thing is to inform your health care provider when these symptoms appear and discuss possible options for treatment.

Tips to relieve morning sickness

The tips below may help reduce morning sickness:

• Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
• Avoid rich, spicy, greasy or fatty foods.
• Avoid foods with smells that bother you or make you nauseous.
• Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice or dry toast).
• Eat bland foods when you feel nauseous (such as saltine crackers, gelatin desserts such as Jell-O, popsicles, chicken broths, ginger ale and pretzels).
• The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.
• Before getting out of bed in the morning, eat a few saltine crackers to calm your stomach.
• Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at drugstores, boating stores or travel agencies.

Diet and Diabetes

Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes

One of the most undemanding and the most workable ways to knock over blood sugar amount, eliminate the dangers of “cardiovascular disease,” and perk up health and welfare in general is exercise.

In spite of that, in today’s inactive world where almost every indispensable job can be carried out online, from the ergonomic chair in front of a computer, or with a streaming line of messages from a fax machine, exercising can be a hard argument to win over.

The Weight of Exercise

Everyone should exercise, yet the health experts tells us that only 30% of the United States population gets the recommended thirty minutes of daily physical activity, and 25% are not active at all. In fact, inactivity is thought to be one of the key reasons for the surge of type 2 diabetes in the U.S., because inactivity and obesity promote insulin resistance.

The good news is that it is never too late to get moving, and exercise is one of the easiest ways to start controlling your diabetes. For people with type 2 diabetes in particular, exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, lower the risk of heart disease, and promote weight loss.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is on the rise. The number of people diagnosed with diabetes every year increased by 48% between 1980 and 1994. Nearly all the new cases are Type 2 Diabetes, or adult-onset, the kind that moves in around middle age. Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes include increased thirst, appetite, and need to urinate; feeling tired, edgy, or sick to the stomach; blurred vision; tingling or loss of feeling in the hands.

The causes of type 2 diabetes are complex and not completely understood, although research is uncovering new clues at a rapid pace.

However, it has already been proven that one of the reasons for the boom in type 2 diabetes is the widening of waistbands and the trend toward a more deskbound and inactive lifestyle in the United States and other developed countries. In America, the shift has been striking; in the 1990s alone, obesity increased by 61% and diagnosed diabetes by 49%.

For this reason, health experts encourage those who already have type 2 diabetes to start employing the wonders that exercise can do for them. Without exercise, people have the tendency to become obese. Once they are obese, they have bigger chances of accumulating type 2 diabetes.

Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that over 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are clinically overweight. Therefore, it is high time that people, whether inflicted with type 2 diabetes or not, should start doing those jumping and stretching activities.

Getting Started

The first order of business with any exercise plan, especially if you are a “dyed-in-the-wool” sluggish, is to consult with your health care provider. If you have cardiac risk factors, the health care provider may want to perform a stress test to establish a safe level of exercise for you.

Certain diabetic complications will also dictate what type of exercise program you can take on. Activities like weightlifting, jogging, or high-impact aerobics can possibly pose a risk for people with diabetic retinopathy due to the risk for further blood vessel damage and possible retinal detachment.

If you are already active in sports or work out regularly, it will still benefit you to discuss your regular routine with your doctor. If you are taking insulin, you may need to take special precautions to prevent hypoglycemia during your workout.

Start Slow

For those who have type 2 diabetes, your exercise routine can be as simple as a brisk nightly neighborhood walk. If you have not been very active before now, start slowly and work your way up. Walk the dog or get out in the yard and rake. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park in the back of the lot and walk. Every little bit does work, in fact, it really helps a lot.

As little as 15 to 30 minutes of daily, heart-pumping exercise can make a big difference in your blood glucose control and your risk of developing diabetic complications. One of the easiest and least expensive ways of getting moving is to start a walking program. All you need is a good pair of well-fitting, supportive shoes and a direction to head in.

Indeed, you do not have to waste too many expenses on costly “health club memberships,” or the most up-to-date health device to start pumping those fats out. What you need is the willingness and the determination to start exercising to a healthier, type 2 diabetes-free life.

The results would be the sweetest rewards from the effort that you have exerted.

What is your idea of success?

Success is having achieved that which you determine you will do!

You determine what success is for you. Success may be something material, such as money or a new home. Success has no particular name or identity. Being successful is a two-part process — determination and belief! Both of which begin in the mind.

It’s important to be consciously on your path to success, and equally important to prepare your mind, spirit and body for the success you seek. To allow life to “pull you along” creates conflicts, resentments and lost opportunities. Resent your life and many of the people in it. You only need to open your mind to the possibilities, then ...

Change Your Mind — Change Your Life!

Open Your Mind to the Possibilities

Determination and belief are the starting points for success. A closed mind seals off creative solutions and eliminates any possibility for new opportunities. All you need do to be on your path to achieving success is to open your mind.

Let’s look at how the mind works. A thought, just like an action, is energy in motion. Emotional thoughts carry even more energy. When you create a thought, especially one you feel emotional about (such as your dream of success), you have created energy that goes out to the universe and allows you to explore, create and grow the thought.

We all have thoughts, but we don’t all achieve our dreams. That’s because thoughts may be negative or positive in nature. Even thoughts you believe are positive may, in truth, be negative to achievement.

Focus is another problem in how thoughts are formulated in our thoughts. You would believe that this is a positive focus, because it keeps the goal constantly in your mind and you actions are that of someone who is buying a new home. Here, we want to emphasize the power of your mind, and how thoughts create your reality.

That means only positive thinking, no attachments, and no labeling.

Internet Fraud Tips

• Be aware that these scams are well-known. They used to be called “Nigerian letters” because they came by mail, but now these messages also come by phone, fax, or email.

• These promises are never true. The purpose of the scam is to get money out of your bank account, not to put money into it.

• Once you are on the hook, they’ll never let you go. You will be asked for a never-ending series of payments for “transfer fees,” “legal expenses,” and other bogus costs.

• Be wary of offers to send you an “advance” on your “commission.” Some con artists use this ploy to build trust and to get money from your bank. They send you a check for part of your “commission,” instructing you to deposit it and then wire payment to them for taxes, bonding, or some other phony purpose. The bank tells you the check has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that checks have bounced. After you wire the money, the check that you deposited finally bounces because it turned out to be an elaborate fake. Now the crooks have your payment, and you’re left owing your bank the amount that you withdrew.

• Don’t believe photographs of the “treasure.” One common ploy is to tape money around a block of wood or bundles of paper to make it look like a large amount of currency. Sometimes the crooks even sprinkle harmless powder on the money and tell victims that it’s a toxic chemical used to protect it. Then they offer to sell a special substance to remove the powder!

• Never provide your bank account or other financial information. This information can be used to withdraw money from your account.

• Don’t agree to travel anywhere to meet these people. They avoid coming to the United States because they fear arrest. Instead, they sometimes try to lure victims to meet them in Africa or other countries. Victims have been robbed and even murdered.

• Remember that these are hardened criminals. According to the Secret Service, these crooks use the money they make on this scam to finance other illegal activities such as drug dealing and credit card fraud.

• If they get your money, you’ll never get it back. It’s very difficult to bring these crooks to the United States for trial, and action is rarely taken against them in their own countries. However, it’s still helpful to report actual or attempted Nigerian money offer scams to law enforcement agencies.

Money Fraud

I received email from anyone who I knew her name in the email inbox. She said greeting and
want a help. I responded the first mail. Then I got second mail which introduced her self to
me. Her name is Saron Makki Mowet as the only daughter of Dr. Makki Mowet who had million
dollar on behalf of her name. She want me to help her make money tranfer to my bank account.
I search on google by name of makki mowet. The searching shows to Phina makki Mowet. She is
listed one of scammer on 419 fraud. Yes I see some samples of the similar letter which sent
to my inbox. I conclude that it is money fraud scheme.
See sample of mails.....

One other site listed the money fraud names, here the list.

You can avoid becoming a victim of a Nigerian scheme by following these steps:

* Never respond to this type of email, snail mail, or fax from Nigeria, even to get more
information about the offer. Delete it or throw it away.
