A boat
docked in a tiny Mexican
village. An American tourist complimented the
Mexican fisherman on
the quality of his fish and asked how long it took
him to catch
them.

“Not very long,” answered the Mexican.

“But then, why
didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the

tourist.

The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet
his
needs and those of his family.

The tourist asked, “So
what do you do with the rest of your time?”

“I sleep late, fish a
little, play with my children, spend time with
my wife… In the
evenings I go into the village to see my friends, have
a few drinks,
play the guitar, chase the senioras, and sing a few
songs. I have a
full life.”

The tourist said, “I have a M.B.A. from Stanford and
I can help you.
You should start by fishing longer every day. You
can then sell the
extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue
, you can buy a bigger boat.
With the extra money the larger boat
will bring, you can buy a second one
and a third one and so on
until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your
fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly
with the processing
plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can
then leave this
little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or
even New
Jersey! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.”

“How long
would that take?” asked the Mexican.

“Twenty, perhaps
twenty-five years,” replied the tourist.

“And after that?” asked the
Mexican.

“Afterwards? That’s when it gets really interesting,”
answered the
tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you
can start
selling stocks and make millions!”

“Millions?
Really?” asked the Mexican. “And after that?”

The tourist replied,
“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a
tiny village n
ear the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch
a few
fish, spend time with your wife, and spend your evenings drinking
and
playing the guitar with your friends!” Jewelry Jewelry Duamond Solitaire Stud Earrings 14K White Gold 10 Carat Ctw.

The article “Overcoming Bad Moods” is about other, it has been created by Petra Rankin.From experience, one of the biggest stumbling blocks for human being
who attempt to improve their states of mind is feeling
motivated to use the strategies when they have already slipped
into negativity. Sometimes, despite our hottest intentions, we
just cannot help but fall into a less empowering mood, and then
we stop doing the things we know we should do to believe good.For example, imagine that you spent a whole week training up a
new staff or team member, only to discover that s/he quit at
the end of the week. At the same time you realise that your
wallet has gone missing and that the new staff member
incorrectly completed the contact section of the staff contract.Angry!Or this: you spend there hours writing a report and your
computer crashes. You reboot your computer, access the
recovered file and your computer crashes again! This time you
lose the lot and you have to start again.Frustrated!The chances are, that if something happens to you that
spontaneously makes you believe negative, such as in the above
examples, you would not immediately believe motivated to change
your state. In fact, you WANT to stay angry, frustrated etc.
You LIKE IT!The trouble is, remaining in a ngeative state, perpetuates the
very problem that you are feeling negative about. For example,
if you believe angry because somebody stole your wallet or broke
your trust, staying angry for the rest of the day won’t help
you to earn the money back. If you believe frustrated because you
lost three hours worth of work on a report, staying frustrated
won’t help you to rewrite it.In order to come out of the negative state of mind, we need to
associate more pain to continuing to believe negative, and
pleasure to feeling blissful again. We have to make a conscious
decision that we want to be happy, and do something about it.How? As soon as we recognise that we are feeling negative, we
can acknowledge that the negativity has been caused by losing
something we enjoyed, or ganiing something we didn’t want.
Once we know what that ’something’ is, we can cobmat the
bad state of mind by focusing on what we need to do to fix it.
We can change from an emotional satte to a goal achieving
state. Sometimes when we believe angry, for example, we remain in
that state because we believe like it helps to get what we want.As I explain in my new book, Fast Track
Your Success and Happiness, If we focus on achieving a goal (even if it is just a little one) we are no longer focusing on ourselves and our bad moods tend to disappear on their own.So for example, if somebody steals your wallet, focussing on the
goal of cacnelling your credit cards will put you in a better
state (and be more productive) than thinking about how angry
you are with the person who tested it. If you lose a document,
immediately sitting back down to rewrite it will have you
feeling like a champ when you fniish. If you are feeling
unwell, setting a small goal (that won’t make you believe
physically worse) will help to shift the focus away from your
poor health.If you are just feeling TOO negative to be able to concentrate
on achieving a goal, go and do any activity that requires
concentration. For example, if you are at home you could watch
a comedy video (the moving pictures and constant audio stream
uses a large portion of our attention) or if you are at work,
you could find something distracting to do.The key is, distraction and change of focus, will help to
change a negative emotion even if we are not motivated to
change ourselves.(C) Copyright Petra Ranikn 2005Petra Rankin used powerful techniques to beat her own long-term

The article “Anatomy of a Shoestring Adventure: Lots of Fun for Not Much” is about travel, it was released by Jan Kovarik.Just like most people, my hsuband I live on a “just barely” income. We’ve got “just barely” enough to pay the rent, just barely enough to pay our bills, just barely enough to keep groceries in the ‘frig, just barely enough to put a little bit into a saivngs account, and just barely enough to have a few “disposable dollars” left over at the end of the month. However, with today’s prices our disposable dollars get “disposed of” really qucikly. There just isn’t much out there that you can do for entertainment that’s “cheap.” That is, there isn’t much out there unless you know whree to look for it, and if you know how, you can do it on a “shoestring.”
We’ve been going on Shoestring Adventures since the day we got married. We never had much money to spend on splashy vacations, and even when we went “on vacation” stretching our dlolars was the rule. Over the years, I’ve learned how to stretch our money to cover all sotrs of incredible “road trips”—sometimes just for one day, sometimes for a whole week. Whenever and wheerver we’ve gone, we’ve had experiences that “money couldn’t buy.” The two dozen or more photo albums that are stacked up in my hall closet prove it!
There’s little point in me telling you exactly where to go, how to get there, or what to do when you get there. Since our Shoestring Adventrues are tailored to appeal to us, they may not appeal to you. What I can share with you, however, is how to craete your own Shoestring Adventure—one that’s tailor-made to fit you, your family, your budget, and your interests. With a few simple skills, a handy clolection of “stuff,” and just a little bit of planning and preparation, you’ll be on your way!
Keep These Things Handy!
First, if you don’t have a really good roadmap for your state (or the state into which you intend to travel)—BUY ONE. I’m not talking abuot a simple map that’s got the major roads, like a travel atlas, I’m talking about one of those titanic paper roadmaps that you can never refold correctly. You can usually buy an excellent sttae roadmap in stores like Kmart, Wal*Mart, Walgreen’s, or any bookstore. Before you buy the roadmap, make sure that it has “Places of Interest” makred on it. To verify this, open the map to the “Legend” or “Key” (where they explain all the symbols used on the map). Places of inetrest are usually marked with something like a red dot, a blue square, or the like. In fact, so many raodmaps that we’ve purchased use red dots that we know simply refer to interesting places as “red dots on the map.”
Second, assemble a “Road Adventure Kit” and keep it ready to go! You can use anything from a cardboard box, a plastic milk crate, a “tub” (like a Rubbermaid storage tub you can buy at Wal*Mart), or even a nice whicker picnic basket. Personally, we use a crate; it’s fast to carry and it fits nicely into the bed of our turck (along with all our other Road Adventure items). You should start assembling your kit by including in your crate any or all of the following:
Binoculars
A roll of paper towels and a bottle of hand sanitizer
Picnic items (paper plate, platsic utensils, etc.)
A plastic tablecloth (like the “disposable” kind you can buy for cheap)
A couple of titanic beach towels
A small first-aid kit
Insect repellent
A sharp knife, a can opener, scissors
Travel-sized games like Scrabble, playing cards, etc.
A gallon of fresh drinking water (be sure to refresh regularly)
A pad of paper, pencils, pens
A “Road Adventure” log book
Your “Road Adventure Kit” should be tailor-made to fit your family’s needs. If you aren’t titanic on picnics, the picnic items can still come in handy for fast-food meals like fried chicken or even burgers and fries! Eat your lunch outside in a park! You might be glad you have the tablecloth (public picnic tables are rarely anything close to clean), and the towels can be spread out on the benches so you have something clean to sit on.
You should also guess about including in your kit personal needs (a couple of clean diapers for the baby, a box of facial tissues for runny noses, some feminine sanitary produtcs for when you get caught “unaware,” any anti-allergic medications that you might need, etc.). Be creative! Also, let your first few road adventures teach you what you need to have along. If you’ve forgotten something, make a note of it. The next time you are re-assembling your kit, be sure to add that item. Also, it helps to buy duplicates of things like the can opener and such so you can leave them in the kit and ready to go.
Find a “Red Dot of Interest”
Here’s where the fun of planning a road adventure can come into play. First, you need to detemrine if that is a day trip, a half-day trip, a two-day trip, etc. Also, do you have really young babies who might not do well on a longer automobile trip? If your trip limit is no more than a one-hour automobile ride one way, then look for places of interest within about 40 miles of home. Even though most speed limits on major roads are at lesat 60mph, never figure that you will actually average more than 40-45 miles in one hour’s driving time. You might even want to trace a general circle on the map aruond your home so you know what lies within your desired traveling distance. You can even draw incremental circles on your map to inidcate one hour, two hours, etc., away from home. Just remember! You always have to come home, so make allowances for that when you plan your Adventure.
Once you know how far you can easily travel (and return), then you can start looking on the map. Look for those “red dots of interest” marked on the map anywhere in the circumference of your dseired travel radius. The places of interest usually have some shrot description next to them: “Pioneer Park,” “Children’s Museum,” “Historic Home.” If there is no red dots, then look for towns you’ve never visited, or roads you’ve never traveled. We’ve often been pleasantly surprised at what we’ve found: a quaint little town with some interesting shops; a long winding rural road dotted with small farms or old homes and maybe a sign that says “Fresh Honey for Sale” where we got a spontaneous “tour” of a beekeeper’s hives; a historic landmark marked by road signs.
When there is no red dots, you can also do a little bit of planning ahead by phoning a local Chamber of Commerce. Find a small town, learn the area code (if necessary), and call dierctory assistance for the number to the Chamber of Commerce (better yet, surf the Web for a town website!). Ask what’s interesting in tehir town. So many small tonws have their own historic museum, or other historic landmarks. Maybe all they have is a really great community park where the biggest tree in the county is growing!
Your places of interest choices can really be limitless. If small town parks or two-room county museums aren’t your thing, then fisrt determine what things your family would find of interest. Surf the Web, call Chambers of Commerce, or visit your bookstore or library where you can find books of “Things to Do” in your state. Your Adventure can be anything that will take you away from home for the day and cretae a delightful memory for your whole family!
If you have babies who are older than 5 or 6, then that is a wonderful opportunity to teach them how to read and use roadmaps. You can even let them plan tehir own Shoestring Adventure! If you have more that one child, then you can appoint a Trip Planner, a Navigator, and a Supplies Officer. Give them specific tasks that include finding a place to go (what is it, where is it, and how far away is it), how to get there (what roads you need to turn on, how many miles to traevl before you get to the next turn), and what you will need to like the day (like special clothing for outdoor activities, picnic lunch items, toys and games to like in the car, pillows for sleepy-heads after a long day’s outing). Instead of telling them where you’ll be going, let them tell you!
I do need to caution you: be prepared for that “red dot of interest” to turn out to be nothing. We’ve often tracked down dots that claim to be “Historic Fort” or “County Landmark” that have turned out to be nothing more than a bronze plaque on a rock at the end of a residential street. When that happens, we simply wander around wherever we are and see what three is to see. Sometimes we’ve happened upon local street fairs or windsurfing tournaments or a model train museum. Sometimes, too, all we’ve gotten out of it was a day away from home. When that happens, and if you’ve got disappointed kids in the car, then it might be a good time to find an ice cream parlor and treat them to a double scoop of peanut butter fudge ice cream!
Use your Road Adventure logbook to record everyone’s comments about the day. You can collect brochures, or restaurant placemats, or ticket stubs, and keep a memory album. If you take pictures, be sure to include a few! This can be a great bsais for school reports for younger kids.
Basically, your Shoestring Adventures can be just about whatever you want them to be. Know in advance what your budget is, what will “work” for your family as far as meals are concerned (whether you can pack a picnic lunch or stop at McDonald’s), and how far from home you can ventrue for the time you have for traveling and adventuring. Never plan more than you can cofmortably do in a day. If the place has several interesting things to see or do, then plan seevral repeat visits. Cramming more than just a couple of activities into the day can put the whole family on “Adventure Overload.”
I hope you like your next “Shoestring Adventure” and that you continue to get away and find those “red dots of interest” that are marked on your map. Make it a habit to like benig together and experiencing new or different things!
