The World Is Rich With Opportunity
Do you think that opportunity only knocks once? If you do, Richard Carlson, author of Don’t Worry – Make Money, says you’re buying into one of the most perpetuated myths in our culture.

Carlson argues that this kind of thinking inspires people to do things they really don’t want to do, and that it’s based on a “never enough to go around” mindset that just isn’t true. Thinking that it’s “now or never” often encourages bad decision making, he says. For example, you might take a job you don’t want or move to an area that doesn’t suit you.
The world we live in is rich with ever-increasing opportunity, says Carlson. The world is in need of creative people, and everyone has unique gifts and talents to offer. You just have to figure out how it’s going to work for you. There are thousands of jobs out there that you can do. There are thousands of business opportunities. But first you have to overcome your fears: the fear of not having enough, and the fear that you only get one shot and then it’s over.
It just isn’t so. Your life will be filled with great opportunities over and over again.

It’s Graduation Time
Here are some wise words for graduates from a commencement address given by bestselling author Anna Quindlen:
“You walk out of here this afternoon with only one thing no one else has. There will be hundreds of people out there with your same degree; there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you will be the only person alive who has sole custody of your life.”
Small Mistake – Big Problem
In today’s ever-punitive world of credit ratings, here’s a story of how something fairly insignificant can hurt your credit.
A customer who had a decent rating ordered a clock that cost $11.95 from an insert included with his department store credit card bill. He received the clock – but it quit working two days later. The customer tried to reach someone right away at the toll-free number where he’d ordered the clock, but this time no one answered.
He decided that the department store should take some responsibility in the matter, and to not to pay his bill until everything was cleared up. Instead, the department store applied a $29 penalty fee to his credit card bill and reported him to the credit bureau for nonpayment. Good-bye, decent credit rating!

No one would ever make light of the discomfort from a bee sting, or minimize the potentially fatal results of a bee sting to someone who’s allergic. Then there’s the problem of bee colonies coming to live in your attic, backyard tree or other location too close for comfort. Yes, sharing our space with bees is a challenge – and it’s also a blessing.
There are thousands of bee species, but the two we’re most familiar with are bumblebees and honeybees. It’s domesticated honeybees – and their pollination activity – that bring us one mouthful in three of the foods we eat, either directly or indirectly. Directly when we’re eating any of the 90 crops honeybees pollinate, from almonds and apples to cucumbers, oranges and zucchini; indirectly when our food comes from animals that consume crops dependent on honeybee pollination. Many of your favorite flowers also need bees to bloom, and don’t forget fragrant beeswax candles, and that sweet bee by-product: honey!
So, while it’s best to avoid all bees, it’s good to remember how meager our menus would be without them. And the next time you sink your teeth into a juicy, crunchy apple or a sweet, cold slice of watermelon, remember they’re brought to you by bees and say, “Thanks, honey!”
