Only Love

Be prepared to field questions that the audience will ask and want to know. Brainstorm ahead of time for possible questions, scenarios, and answers. There will always be someone who asks the tough questions. If you are the expert, you are expected to know the answers. Obviously, if you don’t know the answer, you should not make one up. If the question is way out of line, you can say you don’t know the answer. But what do you do when your audience expects you to know the answer and you don’t? How do you save yourself from losing credibility?

Air Jordan was an idiom first invented by Michael Jordan s agent D. Falk when the last one was discussing a deal on the shoes with the Nike sportswear company back in the 80s. Although the first shoes were rejected by the Chicago Bulls basketball team because they didn t match the team uniforms, the next model was accepted and Jordan s name became also associated with sportswear.

All was going good for the sports star and even events that would have damaged an image of any star (offending the president, failure to follow the rules of the golf club he was in, etc), were not good reasons to stop liking Michael. He still was the most

affectionate and visible athlete and in this world. His own style of play made him the most astonishing basketball player ever. Wit Chamberlain is probably the only one who could sort of match Jordan, since he also had scored three thousand points in a season once.

Italian fashion icon Valentino after 45 years of reining in the top of the Fashion Industry is retiring, after presenting his last collections in Paris, the statement was made from his fashion house, on September 04th 2007.

Valentino’s last pret-a-porter collection will be show cased in October, and his haute couture collection is scheduled for January. His announcement wasn t a surprise, as everyone knew something was a drift during last July’s three-day extravaganza marking his extraordinary career dressing the world’s most beautiful and famous women.

I d like to outline five different powerful tools that are used by all power closers. Anyone who masters these skills who does not possess them already will surely see profound results.

The first concept is that power closers are intensely goal-oriented. Talk about goals and goal-setting these days seems to have become very clich . In spite of this tendency, super-successful individuals who are driven to accomplish well-planned and clearly defined goals are distinguished from those who are mediocre. They know exactly what the bottom line is and exactly what they have to do to meet it. Not only this, but successful sales people typically push the bottom line so they increasingly out-produce previous records.

The American people
Quite a classification indeed
For us self-willed politicians plead
Purport to support our cause
While our soldiers overseas bleed
Yet we’re told Iraq is a war we need
To engage ourselves in
So “the war on terror” we can win
Whatever that means
That illusory, misleading battle
By which we sell fear and rhetorically rattle
The souls of men and breed instability in nations
While profiteering behind the scenes with corporations
VP Cheney has profited handsomely from Halliburton
He is biggest chain in the al Qaeda and Iraq connection
His body language alone reeks with deception
Believe you me, I’ve studied interrogation
Nevertheless the American people are slow
To awake to the lies of the

Bush administration
As if this were some profound revelation
Homeland security is a low prioritization
Instead our leaders see Iraq as more important
Neglect the real issues, preferring to punt
Hopefully we will have wiser leaders in the next generation
Less apt to love power and more desirous to serve out nation
The leaders of the past have thought to kick ass
Flex their military muscles globally and spread political ideology
Cheney, Baker, Bush & daddy know how to use corporate war machinery
Maneuver and cuddle up with royals in Saudi
By which they’ve become powerful and wealthy
Simultaneously their efforts have hurt us diplomatically
As they’ve tried to sweep over issues with a broad brush
Demonize American dissidents and tell us to hush
As they propagate what the American people really need
That is their multinational maneuvering to satiate their greed
To win a war against terrorists
You have to do more than arrest and kill people
Unprovoked invasions only show you to be a jihadist and crusader
Perhaps President Bush wants to be remembered as Darth Vader
If not, he had better clean house in his administration
Begin reading and seeking alternative information
Pray for divine illumination and humbly enlist the Democrats cooperation
Because the world has had enough of his pious and proud self-exaltation
Wherewith he has only further exacerbated the problem with aggravation
Is it any wonder nobody wants the senior counterterrorism position?
It’s time to stop being secretive and vindictive
Learn, listen, and let live
Bite the bullet, be accountable, and ask those you’ve wronged to forgive
Declassify the 9/11 Commission Report
Stop lying about casualties and the truth distort
While “mission accomplished” you foolishly purport
Apologize and come clean with the American people
Address the motives of terrorists and examine issues from every angle
Admit bad decisions that did not serve us and build a national consensus
Iraq was a tangent that weakened us and strengthened the next al Qaedas
America is becoming increasingly hated across the world
Our thoughtless leadership’s effect will historically be felt and told
Recognize the dereliction of duty and rejection of analysis
For which we will pay the price and experience paralysis
Beginning with our maimed troops who we used and abused
It is nothing more than Vietnam repeated. There is nothing new
Just a different time, place and political face
Undoubtedly unjustifiable and irreparable, a moral disgrace
9/11, a chance to build global community, was a squandered opportunity
The Presidential cabinet was preoccupied with an Iraqi without WMD
And gains monetary that could be had by a foreign imposition of democracy
Hence we jeopardized our national security and further antagonized the enemy
POTUS deceived us, derailing the appropriate response and agenda
A dream come true and propaganda victory for al Qaeda
Invading Iraq was the Bush administration’s plan long before 9/11
Bush certainly “stayed the course” and didn’t alter his decision
Over 100,000 Iraqi innocents and 3,000 American troops gone
Meanwhile the war machine making a killing fights on
Bush ironically showed himself the ultimate villain
Pursuing Iraq instead of Afghanistan and Pakistan
His knee-jerk Texas oil-man reaction
Despite his motive or intent, the evidence does not relent
Billions of dollars have now been needlessly spent
Our patriotic fervor has come and went
And as for the war on terror, we’ve not even made a dent.
Apparently the trademark “the American people”
Is great political leverage and still for rent.
