INTRODUCTION
On an average, a person encounters about three salespeople in a day. Your phone will ring one sunny morning; a jovial salesperson is on the other end of the line selling you cruise vacation tickets. As you condition yourself for a good relaxing nap, somebody begins knocking on your door and when you open it, an insurance salesman is right at your face smiling his heart out. You try to sort out your mails before going to bed and you noticed that half of them are promotional newsletters.
You might be tired of salespeople yourself. In fact, you might have hated the mere sight of one. But do you know that it is one of the most rewarding jobs around? Well, not unless you can become the next President of the United States; but then, I could be wrong.
Salespeople are the very individuals who move the company. Their job is to market the products and make the company flourish in the process. If a salesperson is not able to do his job well, then the rest of the company will fall. The CEO, down to the rank-and-file employees, will soon be out of their jobs.
Do you see now how powerful salespeople can be? And because of this reason alone, they are very indispensable in any company.
For a salesperson, every sale merits a commission. And for their every good performance, income spiffs and special bonuses, who then would not want to be a salesperson and become rich and successful?
Do you now want to be involved in sales? If you still don't feel up for it, take this. It is in selling where money really lies. You do not even have to invest too much, nor would you need any capital upfront. All you needed is the right skills and the correct attitude for the job. That is exactly what this report is going to give you. After you’ve gone through this report in whole, you will become a topnotch salesperson - a salesperson who can sell anything and everything under the sun, from a shiny new car to a multi-colored checkered coat and tie collection.
Whatever product you are selling won’t matter at all. Your merchandise, service, or goods will all be sold in a matter of minutes, hours, or days, depending upon its complexity and worth. And you will achieve your first million more sooner than you have ever expected...

INTRODUCTION
“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. In fact, I believe most people fail in life simply because they major in minor things.” - Anthony Robbins
Did you know that you have about 50,000 thoughts every day? Those thoughts actually create the world you live in. You have the power to create any kind of world you desire; you are in control of that world and your thoughts. It’s totally up to you which thoughts you will entertain, give energy to, and expand upon every day.
Concentrating means intense mental focusing on these thoughts each day, giving them your complete attention. And this requires practice.
You’ve seen them—the successful business men and women, the gold medal winning athletes, the leaders of society, the teachers of the year. What is the common denominator? These people have learned how to focus their minds on the task in front of them. They don’t just concentrate; they have learned how to use their attention like a laser beam, hitting the mark every time. They don’t allow themselves to become distracted or confused. And they practice this intense focusing every day.
Unfortunately, most of us don’t possess that kind of focus and concentration. We try, but just can’t seem to hone in on a task with that kind of power. How would you describe yourself? Are you distracted, mentally confused, scatterbrained, or maybe just a daydreamer? We are too easily distracted by the events and circumstances around us. We moan that if we could just get our act together and really concentrate, we could accomplish anything. The trouble is, the more we think about really concentrating, the less we are actually able to bring it into being; it becomes terribly elusive. The average person can concentrate to a certain degree, some of the time; but for the most part, our thoughts are scattered, with our minds racing from one thought to the next, not even in a logical progression. I call that ‘mental leapfrog.’ Many times, we can’t even remember how we got to a particular thought; we can’t follow the progression in our minds.
So what is concentration? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes concentration as a direction of attention to a single object. We need the ability to regulate our thoughts, to point them undeviatingly in a straight course.
What keeps you from concentrating on your many tasks? The simplest answer is that life itself can prohibit your ability to focus on a task, to the exclusion of everything else. Many people pride themselves on their ability to multitask, claiming they are highly productive every day. However, that’s still a split focus. Only a part of your attention is actually on each task; you are also thinking of all the other things you must accomplish and your mind races from one thing to another, helter-skelter...

INTRODUCTION
Pioneers of Stress
In the early part of the twentieth century, Walter Cannon was a noted psychologist employed at the Harvard Medical School. He was the first person to describe the body's reaction to stress. Think of it this way: Your heart begins to pound and speed up, you seem unable to catch your breath, you begin to perspire, your muscles tense and a whole array of changes occur within your body. He identified this stress reaction as the 'fight or flight' response. Your body prepares itself, when confronted by a threat, to either stand ground and fight or run away.
Using rats in an experiment and exposing them to stressors, Hans Selye was able to specify the changes in the body's physiology. In his book “The Stress Of Life”, he summarized stress reactivity as a three-phase process called the general adaptation syndrome:
Phase 1: Alarm reaction - The body shows the changes characteristic of the first exposure to a stressor. At the same time, its resistance is diminished and, if the stressor is sufficiently strong (like extreme temperature), death may result.
Phase 2: State of resistance - Resistance ensues if continued exposure to the stressor is compatible with adaptation. The bodily signs characteristic of the alarm reaction have virtually disappeared, and resistance rises above normal.
Phase 3: Stage of exhaustion - Following long continued exposure to the same stressor, to which the body has become adjusted, eventually adaptation energy is exhausted. The signs of the alarm reaction reappear, but now they are irreversible, and the individual dies.
Selye said stress is “nonspecific response of the body to any demand made upon it.” That means both good things (like a promotion) to which we must adapt (also called eustress) and bad things (loss of a loved one, a.k.a. distress). Both are experienced physiologically. Other researchers have added to the work of these two scientists to shed more light on the relationship of stress to body processes. With this understanding comes a better appreciation of which illnesses and diseases are associated with stress and how to prevent these conditions from developing. Others also helped clarify the effects of stress. Others have found ways of successfully treating people with stress-related illnesses.
Stress may not just be bothersome but may be downright unhealthy, and that stress may lead to other negative consequences, such as poor relationships with loved ones or low academic achievement. Stress management is serious business to which some very fine minds have devoted their time and effort. This study has paid off and is continuing to do so...

INTRODUCTION
“Mommy, how come these little ones get away with things many didn’t when they were that age?” is the usual complaint of the eldest children. They were referring – not to their first brother, who was just a few years younger -- but to the next “batch” of siblings – a boy or a girl who came about ten years later.
As parents, you do try not to play favorites and be consistent as possible. However, that eldest child, indeed, had reason to complain. “Well son, it’s because your parents have learned a few things as you were growing up. You must understand. Your parents never had any kids before you so they made a few mistakes with you” is probably the usual explanation.
“So I am the guinea pig! Why was I born first?” will probably be exclaimed, with a smile.
If you read Dr. Spock from cover to cover, you will probably be unconvinced about sparing the rod. Didn’t that generation produce the juvenile delinquents? You didn’t follow the “wait ‘til your father gets home” practice either. Very young children tend to forget what they are being punished for when you postpone it. Besides, it is assured that you do not want them to have an image of a father as “the executioner” just as you dislike the sermons of the old about mortal sin and hell-fire.
That doesn’t mean you should spank them for every little thing. If talking to them or sending them to their room doesn’t work, then the slippers will convince them that you mean business. For graver offenses, it’s the belt, no TV, no telephone, no parties (“grounded”), or no allowance – whichever is effective at that point in time, upon consultation with your spouse, their other parent, of course.
You should avoid spanking as much as possible. You can even try classical music to calm the warring preschoolers. Result: they will fall asleep. They will probably say, “No wonder I hate classical music!” when they learn about your trick when they were small.
The main thing a child should understand is to know what he or she did wrong. No amount of punishment can correct behavior if the child is not aware of his or her mistake. And the best thing to achieve this is to take the child aside and talk to him or her calmly. If the child is ranting and raving like the Incredible Hulk, it is useless to talk to him or her. That’s when you send your child to his or her room.
“Come out when you’re not ‘Hulk’ anymore and we will talk”. More often than not, they fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion...

Introduction
Inside the human brain’s three-pound package are ten billion nerve cells and almost one hundred billion smaller supporting cells. That’s more power, in a smaller package, than a computer.
If you added all the telephone connections in the entire world and multiplied that number by 1, 349, you would have the total number of brain connections of which your brain is capable.
A common misconception is that the human brain is firm and grey in color, hence the expression “using your grey matter.” In truth, the human brain is soft and jelly-like and of a deep red color. Chemicals or resins that the scientists use to preserve the brain are what cause the grey color and firm texture.
Another common misconception is that we humans use only about ten percent of our brains. This is a misunderstanding of the research gathered back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was noted then that only about ten percent of the brain’s neurons actually are firing at any given time. We know now that the brain has many functions, that every part of the brain has a different purpose, and that all the neurons are busy working all the time. What everyone could improve upon is the cognitive potential of their brains; that is by reading and studying, learning to solve problems, and increasing their brain’s power.
As each decade passes, doctors and researchers learn more and more about the brain - its functions, the dangers it faces and ways to protect it. They are even experimenting with ways to make the brain more retentive and thereby smarter. Whether or not they ever concoct a “smart pill,” there are ways you can train your brain to be more efficient, right now. You can protect your brain from dangerous outside influences. You can learn to feed and stimulate your brain so you not only live to a healthy old age, but you retain all your cognitive faculties. You can increase your brainpower and in the following report, we’ll show you how. Don’t wait for that “smart pill.” You can start right now to eliminate confusion in your thoughts and learn to think better and more clearly, no matter what your age.
Solving problems is easier when you’re thinking clearly. By taking care of your brain and protecting it from danger, you can learn to make decisions quickly and easily.
Do you need to:
• Learn new information easily and with greater accuracy than ever before?
• Be more creative about finding solutions to problems?
• Reduce your mental and physical stress?
Whether it’s learning a new language, studying for classes, or just memorizing a speech, clear thinking is more conducive to productive, high quality work. Any man, woman or child, with the proper training, can learn to think more clearly and thereby learn to be more productive. The only thing keeping you from a highly attuned mental capacity is a failure to understand what good, clear thinking is all about and how to attain it...

INTRODUCTION
What This Book Offers You
You are single in the world of mobile phones and the Internet. You may not realize it, but you actually have more power than you think you hold.
Think of it this way: back when the only entertainment that existed were the likes of the movie theater, the parks, or the nearest video and record store, the solo-flighter’s dilemma was how to avoid being singled out in such family environments; where he/she is most likely to be asked the annoying question, “Hey, how come you don't have a girl/boyfriend?”
In these modern times, gone are the days when you have to sit through events watching partnered people smother the world with their “love” and “concern”. With the introduction of broadband Internet access, cheap mobile phone rates, a plethora of coffee shops, over a hundred late-night bars and restaurants, and travel opportunities, singlehood has become the identity-to-be.
While your married friends are spending some couch time at home or frequenting amusement parks with their kids, you are out with friends, hopping from place to place, meeting new people and, ultimately, letting go of fears, laughing the night away and having a lot of fun.
Being single is not a curse, contrary to what most people think. In fact, there is so much room for mobility that you actually know better about the things around you, have more friends and are freer to further your development and know-how without having to factor a partner’s whims.
The Empowered Single
Unlike the past, the single of today is empowered and knows what he or she is worth. And that there is no pressure to hook up with anybody that comes along, just for the sake of being with somebody.
The modern day single has the power to make better choices, engage in more fruitful activities and expand networks. Gone are the days when you just choke on your food and fall silent when people ask why you’re still taking on the road alone. You can always say, “Because I want to” or “I’m busy enjoying life” and just leave them speechless.
This book is not meant to douse on the merits of being in a relationship and encourage singlehood. See, there really should be no comparison between the two statuses, because, well, they each have their advantages and disadvantages.
What should be realized here is that being single is not a curse. While society often dictates that a person is to be miserable for the rest of his or her life if the right partner does not come soon, there is also a lot to be gained by choosing to be single...

Introduction
Humor is simply the ability to evoke feelings of amusement in others. A person, object, situation, or combination of these may be humorous. Humor is a way of communicating that makes you and others laugh or feel happy.
All people have a sense of humor. Some may have a more developed sense of humor compared with others. Hence, situations that may seem hilarious to some will appear incredibly dull to others. There are many variables involved when it comes to determining a person’s sense of humor.
Among these variables are geographic location and culture. Oftentimes, what Americans find humorous is met with cold stares and totally not understood by other cultures. Another possible factor is the American slang that prevents others from understanding and appreciating the Americans' brand of humor. Cultural taboos could also keep others from finding certain topics humorous.
Other variables may include maturity or educational levels of the individual. For example, a young child laughs over a character slipping and falling on a banana peel, while the adult finds satirical humor highly entertaining. Obviously, the young child is not going to understand satire and the adult may find pratfalls just plain silly and juvenile.
Even gender can be a variable when it comes to sense of humor. Men and women do not always appreciate the same type of humor. Men favor aggressive humor with sexual content, while women might appreciate humor with subtle sexual content.
The origin of the word “humor” comes from the ancient Greeks and the humoral medicine. The Greeks believed that a mix of fluids they called “humors” control human health and emotions.
Whether you are a young child or a senior citizen, developing a sense of humor is essential to your health and well-being. This report will teach you how to develop your own unique sense of humor! Therefore, put a smile on your face and let the laughter begin!...

Chapter 1
THE NATURE OF A BAD HABIT
Have you ever done something so painfully repetitive and monotonous that you sometimes find yourself wanting to just bang your head against the wall several times to break the pattern? Have you ever felt that something you have been accustomed to doing for the past several years is becoming all too daunting and boring, even annoying, not just for you, but also for others? Has anyone ever told you at any point in your life that you need to make a change or else get left with nothing? Sure, you have. These things happen to you every single day, right?
Waking up at the same time each morning and taking the same bus routes to work or school are some of the basic ingredients to a ho-hum day. To make things worse, this daily waking-up routine also precedes always being barely a minute into the "late" situation, leaving you with a start that is equally as fussy as the previous mornings. However, despite realizing how much of a hassle it has been, you simply shrug your shoulders and tell yourself, "Hey, maybe tomorrow I'll be able to beat a record." And then you end up doing the exact same thing the next day.
The "That's Just The Way Things Are" Excuse
No matter how often you realize that your routine is what's making your mornings stressful, you still don't try to change things. You simply leave the next day to chance and hope that some magic powder appears on your doorstep and help you arrive at your destination before the bell rings. "This is just the way things are," you would say, and simply leave it at that.
A lot of us are guilty of saying "These are the cards I am dealt with so I just have to cope." We make excuses for things we think we cannot change or improve on. We point fingers at others, at our surroundings, at time, or at existing circumstances to justify our behaviours and linear ways of thinking. We hardly ever blame ourselves.
This is how our bad habits are formed -- by simply not acknowledging that certain attitudes and situations can be modified; by refusing to take that extra step because it's too fussy or takes up too much effort to achieve; by making excuses for every bit of improvement that needs to be implemented, because you've been "doing it this way for years" and you've received no major complaints from anyone else.
That's what you think. Often, our bad habits are more destructive to ourselves than to other people. Sure, others find your chronic lateness and chain smoking annoying and bothersome. However, whatever negative effect our bad habits have on other people is always magnified when applied to ourselves -- only that we refuse to see it...

INTRODUCTION
Let’s play a game!
Are you ready?
Considering the current world population, can you take a wild guess on how many people are happy?
For the answer, let us look at some interesting statistics gathered by George Ortega of The Happiness Show.
At any given time, one fourth of Americans are mildly depressed! Here’s another startling fact: Most people on this planet claim that they are LESS than 65% happy.
We might think that those people who say that they are MORE than 65% happy are those who are rich. You think this is true?
Let me show you another set of statistics. The personal income of Americans has increased more than 2 1/2 times over the last 50 years YET their happiness level has remained the same. Furthermore, 37% of the people on Forbes List of Wealthiest Americans are less happy than the average American! Professor Daniel Kahneman of the University of Princeton shares the same findings for the British people, “Standard of living has increased dramatically and happiness has increased not at all, and in some cases has diminished slightly.”
Indeed, true happiness is elusive. Most people continue to look for happiness but fail to find it. Even the great achievers, the wealthy, and most powerful people on earth have been striving for it, yet many failed to have it. Is happiness impossible to achieve?
Happiness is not impossible to attain. Didn’t we feel ecstatic when we were promoted? How about when we got our first paycheck? Didn’t we feel happy while in a loving relationship? How about the first time when we cradled our child in our arms? How about being in the company of close friends? It might have been a long time ago and we totally forgot that once in our life we have experienced moments of happiness.
Why is happiness so elusive for most people? Could it be that we have been looking for happiness at the wrong places? Is it possible that we have the wrong concept of happiness?
In all these discouraging statistics and questions, this report aims to provide a ray of hope. Experiments conducted by New Zealand psychologist Kaye Haye, in line with The Happiness Increase Experiment, “have empirically demonstrated that individuals can be trained to be 25 percent happier through various training programs from two to ten weeks.”
This report presents breakthrough ideas in order to equip the reader with tools on how to achieve happiness. As individuals, we have a choice. We can always choose to find happiness. This report points to its various sources. Succeeding chapters will provide ideas on how to create and achieve happiness.
In addition, this report discusses the different causes of unhappiness and teaches us how to overcome them. It cites several barriers to happiness. One such barrier is our unrealistic expectations. We must always remember we cannot command the world to function according to our own desires. We can only control our needs and wants, but not the forces needed to achieve them. If we keep on desiring endlessly, we are just exposing ourselves to unhappiness...
