Self Improvement Quotes on Success "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." James Allen

"The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it." Pearl Buck
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." Buddha

THE CONCEPT OF EFFECTIVENESS
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."Henry David Thoreau"
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done."
"Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out."Stephen R. Covey
"Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things."Peter Drucker
"The ''Inside-Out'' approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness means to start first with self; even more fundamentally, to start with the most inside part of self / with your paradigms, your character, and your motives. The inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves recedes making and keeping promises to others. It says it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves."Stephen R. Covey
"To increase your effectiveness, make your emotions subordinate to your commitments"Brian Koslow"Concentration is the key to economic results. No other principles of effectiveness is violated as constantly today as the basic principle of concentration."Peter Drucker
"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."Peter Drucker"People, like nails, lose their effectiveness when they lose direction and begin to bend."Walter Savage Landor

For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say."

FANS REACT NEGATIVELY ON THE SALE OF OWEN SHIRT IN SHORES
Owen Shirts Not Selling At Manchester United Megastore

EPL:Michael Owen, Newcastle United - Bolton Wanderers (PA)
Manchester United's Michael Owen coup, bought on a free transfer after the former England international's contract at relegated outfit Newcastle United expired, has not proved popular in terms of shirt sales, as one employee at the club's megastore revealed nobody had requested a Michael Owen shirt.
"We haven't got his number yet, which might have had an effect, [but] we are not expecting a big demand even when that is known," the employee is quoted to have told British tabloid The Sun.
"As far as I know, no one has asked for an Owen shirt.
"We print about 3,000 for Wayne Rooney but we'll be doing nowhere near that for Owen," the source concluded.
Owen received his football education at Manchester United's arch-rivals Liverpool.
Despite not being warmly received by some sections of Red Devils fanbase, the player has been welcomed by the club's playing staff, and burgeoning Brazilian midfielder Anderson recently opined that Owen is the pride of the country and that the club are hoping to groom the player back to his best form.

HUNTERLAAR VERY CLOSE TO AN EXIT
Report: Manchester United Preparing Huntelaar Move
After all the high-profile arrivals, Real Madrid are going to have to start off-loading players.Shane Evans
Jul 7, 2009 6:43:05
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Real Madrid (Peace Cup 2009)Manchester United are preparing to make a €23million bid to end Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's brief stay at Real Madrid and revitalise his career at Old Trafford, according to a report.Manager Sir Alex Ferguson wants to add the Dutchman to his new look front-line and it is believed that the Spanish giants would be willing to let the striker leave.The relationship between United and Madrid has healed after a rift grew when Ramon Calderon was in charge at the Bernabeu and the lines of communication are now open after the Cristiano Ronaldo deal.Huntelaar's was one of the first names to be linked with a move away from Los Merengues when Florentino Perez resumed control and he is set to be one of a large number of players leaving.After netting an incredible 113 goals in 136 games in Holland, the 25-year-old forward joined Madrid in January and was expected to play a major role in the absence of the injured Ruud van Nistelrooy.Instead, it was Gonzalo Higuain who led from the front and Huntelaar was unable to make the impression he craved; his chance now appears to have gone with the arrival of Karim Benzema.Michael Owen has already joined Manchester United this summer and Ferguson is said to want Huntelaar to bolster his options, and is preparing to make a move this week, The Sun states.As revealed exclusively by Goal.com today, Real Madrid will not be offering market discounts for Huntelaar or any of their other out-going stars, so United know they will need to meet the asking price.

THE HOT MAN ON HELSEA'S LIST
Daniele De Rossi - Inter-Roma - Italian SuperCup (Grazia Neri)
Chelsea secured their first major transfer of the summer window with Monday's £18 million purchase of Russia international Yuri Zhirkov, but look set to embark on their own wave of Galactico recruiting as a report in an Italian newspaper intimates that the Stamford Bridge side harbour ambitious hopes of landing Roma midfielder
Daniele De Rossi .
Il Romanista claims Carlo Ancelotti would prefer the midfield hardman over deep-lying Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo, a player whose credentials are familiar to the Italian tactician as they spent many seasons together at the San Siro.
Roma chief Bruno Conti dashed any notion of an easy switch when he baulked at a €46 million bid from Real Madrid. Chelsea sponsor Roman Abramovich would therefore have to pen a large cheque in order to tempt the Roman outfit. Conti said last week, "De Rossi isn't worth €46 million, he's worth much, much more."
De Rossi and Pirlo have not been the only Serie A representatives to be linked to the Blues. Inter full-back Maicon is also apparently on Ancelotti's shortlist as current right-back Jose Bosingwa is receiving admiring glances from Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.

Valdano Franck Ribery & Xabi Alonso Are Out Of Real Madrid's Price Range
With a lot of money already spent, it is not clear how much more Madrid have to buy players this summer.Shane Evans
Jul 7, 2009 9:47:18 AM
Jorge Valdano, Real Madrid (Goal.com)Real Madrid general director Jorge Valdano has acknowledged that as far as the signings of Franck Ribery and Xabi Alonso go, the prices are too high for los Blancos to make successful moves at the moment.Bayern Munich have reportedly put an €80 million price-tag on the head of their French international winger. With regards to Alonso, Liverpool are apparently keen to keep the midfielder and Madrid have already had two bids rejected for the Spaniard.In an interview with El Partido de la Una, Valdano was asked about the situation with Alonso, and said no deal is close."Xabi Alonso is a priority if he fits into our budget, but that does not seem to be the case. We are very far away from the figures that Liverpool have presented," he explained.Likewise, Valdano acknowledged that Bayern's valuation of Ribery has all but put Madrid off buying him."It is a figure that is out of place. It is the same thing as them saying that they do not want to sell him," he said.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Champions, Real Madrid (Goal.com)The figures have been coming out thick and fast since Cristiano Ronaldo's presentation but only this morning has it been revealed how many fans decided to snap up shirts with his name on the back.Initial reports state that in the two hours after Ronaldo strutted his stuff around the Bernabeu for the first time, Real Madrid sold 2,000 tops with his name and the number 9 on.AS reports that along with the jerseys bought by the customers, there were also 300 stolen in an hour, most likely due to the sheer number of people in the shop.The excitement did not die out last night either, with reports claiming that there were queues outside the shop an hour before it was due to open at 10.30.At first it was announced that only 15 people would be allowed in at once, but that was soon relaxed and the store began to fill with fans eager to get their hands on a Ronaldo top.The shirt itself costs €85, so Madrid will still have to sell plenty more if they are to regain a sizable chunk of the €96 million that they spent on buying Ronaldo from Manchester United.
