Wealth is a Feeling, Measured by Gratitude Bo Sanchez

- true measure of wealth is not your money, your real estate, or your jewels
- the true measure of wealth is how grateful you are

Wealth Is A Feeling

By Bo Sanchez

Let me shock you. Wealth is not primarily your cash or your houses or your cars. I believe wealth is first of all an emotion. Wealth is a feeling.

The true measure of wealth is not your money, your real estate, or your jewels. The true measure of wealth is how grateful you are. The more grateful you are, the wealthier you are. The less grateful you are, the less wealthy you are. It's that simple.

20 years ago, I was earning P30 a day. Yet I felt so rich. Because I was so grateful for God's blessings. Today, I even feel richer. Not just because I earn more, but because I've become even more grateful.

As I told you before, there are three levels of gratitude: Superficial, Simple, and Sacred.

1. Superficial Gratitude

Superficial Gratitude is being thankful for big-ticket items.

A house. Car. Marriage. Baby. Healing. Big Business deal.

Superficial gratitude is very good, but I warn you that it doesn't last very long.

Like yesterday, I read a story of a man who finally passed the bar exam after 9 attempts. For those 9 years, passing the bar exam was like a full time job. But finally, he passed it! Imagine if you're John. You'd be very grateful. But soon, you'd have new problems as a lawyer.

I remember my friend who finally got married at the age of 51. Imagine her joy. I'm sure she was very grateful. But eventually, new problems will come up. Like marital problems.

Superficial gratitude is good, but it doesn't last. Because after awhile, big problems come with big blessings.

You need to move to the second level of gratitude.

Collisions in LAN Interface FastEthernet - CISCO troubleshooting

As part of my daily job as Network Operation Engineer, I received a case from a managed router that it's LAN Interface FastEthernet0/0 was keep on bouncing. Logs and interface stats was telling me that the interface was experiencing collisions. See details below.

Initial investigation was telling me that the LAN interface FastEthernet0/0 was configured as speed and duplex auto. But I found out that the interface resulted to be in half duplex 100 Mbps. By theory, it is telling me that the device or equipment that is connected to this interface is configured also to 100 Mbps Half Duplex but I have no way to verify it because we don't manage that equipment. In order to know this, I should call the customer to do it for me which is not appropriate at this time because we have time zone difference of 13 hours. See, if there is a sunlight here where I am standing, I'm sure, they are now sleeping or out of office already. Who want to be called out business hour? I don't either.

So I tried my luck, and googling it to find the answer. I found out that some routers have issue in their auto-duplex and speed config. The possible work around is to force the interface config to 100 Mbps full duplex and boom, it solved the problem. Collisions disappeared in the interface and still 0 errors after clearing the counters.

GEO graph as of 120709

In my own newbie analysis, I think it is good to buy GEO now for bottom fishing.  It is clearly shown in the graph that it is already touched the bottom with support around 0.83.  Big volume came around at 0.85 and 0.86.  So, many bought around these prices consider that it is also included in the magnificent 7 stokcs of JAP.

 

Real Love is about dirty hands, not beating hearts - Bo Sanchez

Spot The Difference

Let me now share five clear-as-daylight differences between Infatuation and Real Love:

1. Infatuation doesn’t require a decision. It just happens. You see a girl and boom—your hormones kick in and you want her. You don’t know why. It’s her dress. It’s the way her hair falls on her shoulder. It’s her smile. It’s the way she bites her fingernail. That’s why I said that pirated versions are free. But Real Love doesn’t just happen; Real Love requires a decision. That’s why Scott Peck says Real Love can only start after one has “fallen out of love.”

2. Infatuation, no matter what you do, lasts only for a season. You have these feelings of love swirling within you until something happens that breaks the spell. Maybe she’ll open her mouth. Maybe she’ll reveal her fangs. Maybe she’ll pick her nose. Maybe she’ll spend your money. Maybe she’ll introduce you to her mother. Maybe she gains 30 pounds. It could be anything. Infatuation can last for a few days or for a couple of years. But Real Love can last forever precisely because it’s a decision.

3. Infatuation is directed towards a figment of your imagination. You’re not attracted to a real person. You’re attracted to a projection of that person from your own imagination. Like Infatuation itself, you’re in love with a fake. But Real Love is directed towards a real person. You now know her strengths and weaknesses, and have accepted it all.

4. Infatuation is a spontaneous collapse of your boundaries. You get lost and you merge with the other. You’re enmeshed. You can’t survive without each other. But Real Love requires strengthening of both your boundaries; You actually don’t need each other, but you choose each other because you want to serve.

5. Infatuation is all about feelings. Dubdub. Dubdub. Dubdub. Cold palms, giddy spells, dazed looks, and feet on the clouds. But Real Love is about dirty hands. You don’t have to feelanything to love. Love is a verb, not just a feeling. Love is an action, not just a state. Let me repeat my message: I believe love is about dirty hands, not beating hearts. The essence of love isn’t feelings but service. Scott Peck says it so well—the opposite of love isn’t hatred; the opposite of love is laziness.




Love Is Service - Sample Story



I dedicate my last story to all those living away from their loved ones today — Overseas Filipino Workers, Migrants, etc.

Many years ago, I met Alice, a Filipina teacher in Brunei.

She was my host and took care of me while I was there. When I woke up early one morning, I noticed that she was on the phone. But she wasn’t speaking.

She explained that it was her beautiful ritual of love to her husband. Years ago, her husband suffered a stroke and he became paralyzed. So she went to Brunei to work for the family.

And what was this ritual of love? Alice would wake up at 4 in the morning to call her husband. (This was before the days of cell phones and text messages.) But because they could not afford long distance calls, they agreed that the husband was not to answer the phone.

Instead, the husband would allow the phone to ring.

And ring.

And ring.

He would allow the love of Alice, symbolized by the ringing, to fill their house and to fill his heart.

For 8 years straight, Alice did this beautiful ritual without fail.

Until he finally passed away.

-----------------

That’s what love is.

Not like feelings that come and go.

Not like moods that are here today and gone tomorrow.

Love is simply done, day in and day out.

Because it’s eternal.

Constant.

Faithful.

It was Mother Teresa who said, “Service is a fruit of love”.

If you love, you will serve.

Go now, and like Mother Teresa, dirty your hands.

Cryptarithms - Math Tutorial

Cryptarithms

A cryptarithm is a type of mathematical puzzle in which the digits are replaced by symbols (typically letters of the alphabet).

For example:

9567 + 1085 = 10652
Can be represented by:
abcd + efgb = efcbh

Cryptarithm Rules

• Numbers must not start with a zero.
• Each letter represents a unique digit.
• The solution is unique (unless otherwise stated).

 Sample 1:

Find the solution for ABCDE x 4 = EDCBA.

Step 1: Solving A
Possible A: 1,2

Why: 3-9 when multiply by 4 will produce 6 digit numbers.

Answer: A=2

Why: A must be even number in order to be divisible by 4.

New Equation: 2BCDE x 4 = EDCB2

Step 2: Solving E
Possible E: 3,8

Why: 3 and 8 are the only values that has a product ending of 2 when multiply by 4

Answer: E=8

Why: Only A=8 can satisfy the new equation from step 1.

New Equation: 2BCD8 x 4 = 8DCB2

Step 3: Solving B
Possible B: 0,1,2

Why: When 4 is multiplied by b, (0,1, and 2) are the only possible numbers in order to satisfy the new equation from step 2. (if 3, 4 x 3 = 12, 2 + 1(carry from 12) = 3 which is not equal to 8

Answer: B=1

Why: 8DCB2 must be divisible by 4. The divisibility rule for 4 is that the last 2 digits must be divisible by 4. Only B=1 can satisfy this statement which happened to be 12.

New Equation: 21CD8 x 4 = 8DC12

Step 4: Solving D
Possible D: 2,7

Why: The product of 4 and D plus 3 (carry from 4 x 8 = 32) must end in 1 to satisfy the new equation from step 3.

Answer: D=7

Why: D must be greater the or equal to 4. It will be prove when 4 is multiplied by B=1.

New Equation: 21C78 x 4 = 87C12

Step 5: Solving C
Possible C: 7,8,9

Why: 4 x C + 3 (carry from 4 x 7 + 3 = 31) must be greater than 30 - 39 in order to carry the 3 to be added to B to get 7.

Answer: D=9

Why: 9 is the only number that satisfy the equation.

Final Answer:   21978 x 4 = 87912

How to run Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) in Cisco Router T1/E1 Controller

95% of my job as a network engineer is to troubleshoot WAN connections. One of the useful tool is using Bit Error Rate (BER) Tester to test the Layer 1 (Physical layer) and Layer 2 (Data Link layer) for any performance issues. Some Cisco router WAN implementation are using controller cards. This controller cards have built in functionality for BER testing. Thanks to my colleague Jack for the tip.

Here it is "the How To".

BERT Testing Using Cisco Router with Controller Card

1. To start BERT:

hostname#bert controller e1 0/1/0 pattern ?

0s All 0's test pattern
1in8 1-in-8 test pattern
1s All 1's test pattern
2047 2^11-1 test pattern
3in24 3-in-24 test pattern
511 2^9-1 511 test pattern
63 2^6-1 63 test pattern
alt-0-1 Alternating 0's and 1's test pattern
qrss 2^20-1 QRSS O.151 test pattern
qrw 2^15-1 QRW test pattern

hostname#bert controller e1 0/1/0 pattern 1s interval ?

<1-14400> Duration of BERT <1-14400> minutes

hostname#bert controller e1 0/1/0 pattern 1s interval 2



2. To display result:

hostname#sh controller e1 bert

E1 0/1/0 is up.

BERT is done on the controller. The result of last time is

DSX1 BERT status : done
DSX1 BERT pattern : 1s
DSX1 BERT sync count : 1
DSX1 BERT interval : 2 min
DSX1 BERT time remain : 0 min 0 sec
DSX1 BERT total errs : 0
DSX1 BERT total k bits: 231363
DSX1 BERT errors (last): 0
DSX1 BERT k bits (last): 231362


3. To stop BERT:

hostname#bert abort controller e1 0/1/0

Note:
For T1 circuits, use "t1" instead of "e1"

TOP 10 BIGGEST BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1.  No Breakfast

• People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
• This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2.  Overeating

• It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3.  Smoking

• It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4.  High Sugar consumption

• Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5.  Air Pollution

• The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body.
• Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6.  Sleep Deprivation

• Sleep allows our brain to rest.
  
• Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7.  Head covered while sleeping

• Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8.  Working your brain during illness

• Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9.  Lacking in stimulating thoughts

• Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10.  Talking Rarely

• Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Google AdSense Reports Terminologies Defined

---

I started to sign-up in AdSense several months ago without knowing its capability to earn money.  Now that I have started to love blogging, I am constantly visiting my AdSense account and I noticed that the Page Impressions  is increasing everytime I will add a blog entry.  So what are these terms/terminologies all about.  Below are the snapshot of my AdSense account and their definitions excerpted from Ask Dave Taylor.

Snapshot of my AdSense account


Terminologies Defined

• Page Impression -- how many times the page or pages containing the AdSense advertisement was shown to visitors
• Clicks -- the number of times someone actually clicked on an advertisement
• Page CTR -- the resultant click-thru rate, as a percentage
• Page eCPM -- the effective cost per thousand (M = mil, it's Latin) for your ad space.   This is a statistic that only a marketing person could love, so it's fine if you ignore it, but it can show you what ads / ad units are most valuable, particularly if you use channels
• Your earnings -- no explanation needed. Bigger is better. :-)

Quit Trying to Please Everybody - Rick Warren

---

Inspiring Quotes in This Article:

• It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you.
• You cannot please everybody.
• You don't have to please everybody in order to be happy in life.
• Rejection will not ruin your life unless you let it.
• God likes me, and I like me; if you don't like me, then you've got a problem.

The Article:

“It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you” (Proverbs 29:25 GN)

When we worry about what other people think, we let them control us. We waste a lot of time and energy trying to figure out what other people want us to be. Then, we waste a lot of time and energy trying to become like that rather than just being what God made us to be. You're manipulated and controlled by somebody else.

Worrying about what other people think is dangerous because we’re more likely to cave in to criticism. It means we don't always do the right thing; instead, we do the thing that everybody wants us to do.

And we’re in danger of missing God's best because we're so worried about what other people what us to do that we can't stop to think about what God wants us to do.


• Fact #1: You cannot please everybody. Even God can't please everybody. One person prays for it to rain; another prays for it to be sunny. In the Super Bowl, both teams are praying that they will win. Who is God going to answer? God can't please everybody. Only a fool would try to do what even God can't do. You can't please everybody.

• Fact #2: It's not necessary to please everybody. There is a myth that says you must be loved and approved by everybody in order to be happy. That's just not true. You don't have to please everybody in order to be happy in life.

• Fact #3: Rejection will not ruin your life. It hurts, sure. It's not fun. It's uncomfortable. But rejection will not ruin your life unless you let it.

Quit trying to please everybody! Remember that nobody can make you feel inferior unless you give them permission.

The Apostle Paul says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31 TEV) This means we can think like this: ‘God likes me, and I like me; if you don't like me, then you've got a problem. If God likes me, who cares that everybody doesn't approve of everything I do.’

Remember, nothing you ever do will make God love you less. Nothing you ever do will make God love you more. He loves you completely right now.

Eliminate Negative Self-Talk - by Rick Warren

You can change your thoughts into things..... The Secret


Inspiring quotes from this article

-  your life is shaped by your thoughts
-  thoughts determine your feelings and your feelings determine your actions
-  If you want to change your life, you've got to control the way you think.
-  God wants us to stop putting ourselves down
-  don't think about all those weaknesses in your life
-  fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right

"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts" (Proverbs 4:23 GN).

Long before psychology came around, God said your thoughts determine your feelings and your feelings determine your actions. If you want to change your life, you've got to control the way you think.

Our minds are really an amazing creation. It would take a computer the size of a small city just to carry out the basic functions of your brain. Your brain contains over one hundred billion nerve cells. Each individual cell is connected with ten thousand other neurons.

In addition, you're constantly talking to yourself--all the time. Your mind is talking to you! You're talking to yourself right now. Research indicates that most people speak at a rate of 150 to 200 words per minute, but the mind can listen to about 500-600 words a minute. That's why you can listen to me and plan today's dinner at the same time.

In fact, our internal dialogue--the conversation we have with ourselves--is at a rate of 1,300 words per minute. How? Because our mind sees in pictures, and you can see a thought in a nano-second!

The problem is a lot of us are like Job, who says, "Everything I say seems to condemn me" (Job 9:20 GN). He is saying, in effect, "Everything I say puts me down." If you are typical to the human race, you are your own worst critic.

We're always putting ourselves down. We walk into a room smiling, but inside we're thinking, "I'm fat. I'm dumb. I'm ugly. And I'm always late!"

God wants us to stop putting ourselves down. When you put yourself down, who are you really putting down? When you say, "I'm fat. I'm dumb. I'm ugly. I'm no good. I have no talent," you're really pointing to the Creator who made you. When you say, "God, I'm worthless. I'm no good. I can't do anything," you're saying, "God, you blew it with me." That's why God says it's wrong to put yourself down.

How do you eliminate negative self-talk so you can become a more confident person?

The Bible teaches the principle of replacement:

"Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right . . . Think about all you can thank God for and be glad about" (Philippians 4:8 TLB).

In other words, don't think about all those weaknesses in your life. Focus on who God wants you want to be and on what God wants to do in your life. I don't know any better antidote to low self-esteem (or to facing your hurts, habits, and hang-ups) than to read God's word every day: study it, memorize it, meditate on it, and apply it in your life.

There isn't a better thing you can do to raise your confidence level than to start believing what God says about you. As I read through the Bible, chapter by chapter, I find a verse that speaks to me. I write it down on a card, memorize it, and then I start affirming it back to God. "Father, thank you that I am valuable; I am significant; I am forgivable; I am capable." Let God renew your mind because "your life is shaped by your thoughts" (Proverbs 4:23 GN).

How to Backup a Blog on Blogspot to Your PC

Recently, I changed this blog to a new look using a 3 column template.  I will create a separate entry how I change from 2 column to 3 column template.  Before migrating to a new template, I had a fear that my blog entries might disappear because of a bug of the new template or some other reasons.

So, I consulted again my virtual bestfriend, GOOGLE for the answers.  Google search results listed many ways on how to backup a blogspot blog such as using a software, a built in exporter, email, etc. but only one backup method that catched my interest and attention.  This is by viewing all your blog entries on a single page then save the page to your PC or hard drive.  Easy, isn't it.

So here it is the "HOW TO", happy reading....

How to Backup a Blogspot Blog

1.  Type this address in the address bar 

http://XXX.blogspot.com/search?max-results=N

     where:   
                 XXX - URL of your blog minus the blogspot.com extension
                      N - number of blogs entries you want to backup, make it higher if you are not sure

     illustration: 
                I have blog entries which is less than 100.  So, I types below URL to the address bar of my internet browser.

           

http://my-online-guide.blogspot.com/search?max-results=100

2.  Then issue a "Save As" command and locate your folder in your hard drive where do you want to store you blogs.  Easy,  isn't it.

Wonders of God's Creation

A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...  

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!   

God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (mo dern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actual ly bal ance the glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

How to Compute Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI = Weight in pounds * 703 / height in inches / height in inches

BMI normal = 18.5 - 24.9

How to Compute Time Deposit Interest

Here is the "How to" on how to compute your earnings if you put your money in Time Deposit with the bank.  I remembered several months ago when I was hopping from one bank to another along Ayala Ave. seeking a bank that gives the highest interest rates returns.  Happy reading... 

Legend:

P = Present Value
m = 4 if quarterly, 12 if monthly
i = Interest rate
n = Number of years

Simple Formula:

InterestEarned = [PresentValue * InterestRate * (No. of days of maturity / No. of days in a year)] * (1 - 20%)

Actual Formula:

InterestEarned = [PresentValue [(1+i/m)^m-1]] * (1-20%) / m

Tax = (1-20%)

Linear Diophantine Equation Solution

- way back in time when reviewing for licensure board examination, one problem that I had to deal with was Linear Diophantine Equation Solution
- it is solving one equation, 2 unknowns
- sharing it to you



An Example of Linear Diophantine Equation Solution

A Diophantine equation is an equation in which only integer solutions are allowed.

The mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria (200-284 AD) gave a
general solution for when problems of this type are solvable. Of
course he was only interested in integer solutions, so when we say a
problem like this is solvable, we mean that there exist integers x and
y such that ax + by = c.

Condition: c is divisible by Greastest Common Denominator (gcd) of a and b.
GCD of a and b can be determined by Euclidean algorithm.

Greater than one solution:

x = x' + (b/d)*t
y = y' - (a/d)*t

where d = gcd(a,b)
t = is an arbitrary integer.

Ten Principles of Investing in Stock Market

- while searching the web, this article have captured my eyes and emotion because of arising interest to invest in Stock Market
- happy reading

Ten Principles of Investing in Stock Market

1. Start investing now. You could be getting better returns on your money today to prepare yourself financially for your future.
2. Make a financial plan. You must know what your goals are to be a successful investor.
3. Do not follow the crowd. When investing, do what the wealthy do and look for opportunities to get in before the masses.
4. Don’t overpay for stocks simply because the companies behind them are large and well known. Too many large companies are overvalued, and their prices will eventually fall back to earth.
5. Have patience when investing. Wait for the right time to enter and exit your trades.

USED vs LOVE

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up a
stone and scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man
took the child's hand and hit it many times; not realizing he was using
a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple
fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked,
'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked
it a lot of times.. Devastated by his own actions..... ...sitting in front
of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written
'LOVE YOU DAD'.
