3rd Law:
CONCEAL YOUR INTENTIONS
"Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late."

48 days of the 48 Laws of Power - 2nd Law
2nd Law:
NEVER PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN FRIENDS, LEARN HOW TO USE ENEMIES
Be wary of friends - they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Entertainment Vs. Education
Have we become a nation of cowards? I noticed something as I browsed the current blogs vlogs I frequent throughout the week to stay updated on what's what in this world. What I noticed was somewhat disturbing, but made contemplate my own case.
So, here it is: Have you noticed that the sites, blogs, vlogs, etc. that get all the attention, the thousands of hits per day and the web viral spread are the entertainment sites, blogs and vlogs. While the sites and blogs geared toward education, financial literacy, technology and the like barely get recognition. Just take a look for yourself. A video blog of teen girls fighting average well over one million hits within a week or so and a vlog on job training or investment strategies may get a couple hundred hits within the same time span. That's heartbreaking. I like my dose of celebrity gossip every now and then. I also like some TV shows that I get enthralled in, but when do we say enough is enough and get to the education that will help us get out of debt, save some money for times such as these and make smart investments that will allow us to live comfortable lives, put ourselves in position to put our children through College, start businesses and invest in our communities. These are all essential to our growth and independence from a Government that caters to the rich and corporations who could not care less about its customers, but are more concerned with the bottom line; which is always PROFIT.
It's a fact that the top 1% of wealthy people in this country have one third of all of the wealth in this country. Close to 60% of the country are living close to or below the poverty line. They are sloppy numbers in comparison.
We have to begin to educate ourselves. We must be financially literate, possess entrepreneurial spirits, and we must yearn, want and need to be successful.

48 Days of The 48 Laws of Power - 1st Law
I first read the 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene about 8 years ago and it was quite possibly the most powerful book (besides the Bible and the Qur'an) I have ever read.
Robert Greene lays out the book in The Art of War fashion. He uses stories from a time that once was as a examples for his 48 Laws. This book has been infamous for being read and studied by CEO's, Executive Managers, Politicians and Royal Families alike.
I am currently on my second read of the book! I also heard in an interview with the ever hustlin' rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent that he is currently working with the Author to make the new book: The 50th Law! An addendum to the original book. Look out for that. I will be reading that one too.

For the next 48 days, I will be sharing some information from each law with my friends and followers. So stay tuned. Here's the first Law:
Law 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER!
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite - inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.Law 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER!

Credit and Banking Industry News - This Just In!
This Just In:
Some major Credit Card Companies such as: Chase, AMEX and the like have been changing the monthly minimum amount of cash you can pay them for their high balance customers.
The minimum amount you usually pay on your balance is about 2% of the entire balance. Now the Major Credit Card Companies (b.k.a Banks that charge ridiculous interest rates to suck us dry of our hard earned money) are raising that balance to 5%. You say, "that's not that bad!" Well, if you weren't the sharpest knife in the drawer when it came to your math lessons, let me break it down for you:
2% on a $5,000.00 balance is $100.00
5% on a $5000.00 balance is $250.00. A monthly difference of $150.00.
If you have a balance of $20,000.00 you could see your monthly minimum payment go from $400.00 to $1,000.00 at once. Not gradually. The worst part is the banks are not informing the people. They're not changing the interest rates. Just the amount of the minimum monthly payment.
This really effects the people who have switched all their credit card debt to one major card in hopes of controlling their debt and lowering their payments. Now that their debt is centralized it makes their balance(s) higher than usual.
Most people are not being fore-warned. Check with your credit card issuers and make sure this won't happen to you.
Be blessed.

Thoughts of Prosperity... even in hard times!
I was just sitting here thinking... Sometimes we can let everything get in our way of achieving prosperity. Bills due. Bad economy. Kids going crazy. Spouse acting not acting accordingly. etc. etc. The list can be endless. Anyway, we let all kinds of roadblocks deter us from reaching the levels we can realistically reach.
Think about this: "we are exactly what we think of ourselves."
Confucius once said, "the man who says he can't and the man who says he can find that they are both usually right." I know. Deep right?
So for today, do as I do, have done and will continue to do. That is, keep your head to the sky and your feet moving forward your goals. No matter how slow the motion may seem.
Be mindful of our thoughts because they become your speech. Your speech becomes your actions and your actions ultimately become YOU.

President Obama says now is the time to buy stocks! Is he right?
Today President Obama urges Americans to get out and buy stocks.
It was reported by CBS that the President said that now is the time to buy stocks due to the latest weakening of the stock market. Is he right or not?
Well, I guess that's for you to decide.
Check out this video and make a logical decision:
