Thanks Armand !
I just had to share this with you because I just find this so amusing… test yourself and see how the brain works…
The Right Brain vs Left Brain Test … Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If you are seeing clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction… see if you can do it. I can make it turn both ways. 
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses logic RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses feeling |

How to become an Internet Millionaire like Ashley Qualls
Still thinking whether it is possible to be a millionaire online?
Here’s how a teenager turned an $8 website into a million-dollar empire….
Meet Ashley Qualls, 17 years old and CEO of the website called Whateverlife.com which gets more than 70,000 visitors and 60 million page views a month.
With only $8 borrowed from her mother, she started Whateverlife.com at the age of 14 and today her website has made her more than $1 million !
How it all started :
Ashley became interested in graphic design just as the online social networking craze began to catch fire.
When she saw her friends personalizing their MySpace pages, she began creating and giving away MySpace background designs through Whateverlife.com.
The designs are cheery, colourful and whimsical, with lots of hearts, Ashley’s favorites. She also pulled quotes from popular songs and built backgrounds around those themes.
Ashley’s first cheque was for $2,700. The next was for $5,000, the third for $10,000. She now hires her friends as designers and her own mom to help manage the business.
Although her website makes more than $70,000++ every month, she only pays herself a modest salary of $3000.
Hope this motivates all of you, that nothing is impossible out there… If you have a dream and real passion for something, start taking action today and you will reach your goals…

Be careful.. Squidoo can terminate your account!
Attention Squidoo Lensmasters!
Recently, my high ranking Squidoo lenses and account got terminated for violating Squidoo’s Terms of Service.
It says here:
11. SQUIDOO CAN TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE
Oooo, scary. But true. Squidoo, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of or access to the Service (including CO-OP Services), and remove and discard any Lens, for any reason. Some of the more likely reasons for termination are inaccurate information in the registration form, harassment of other Lensmasters (this is a BIG no no), Citizen Squids, SquidooStaff, bloggers and other individuals online. More reasons include hacking Lenses or the Service, automatically redirecting lens traffic to another site, spamming people on and off the site, illegal transactions via Squidoo, and otherwise acting in violation of the terms or the spirit of these Terms of Service or other policies making a Lensmaster a fine, upstanding member of the Squidoo community. If Squidoo terminates your use of the Service, then your Lens may be immediately taken down, and your Squidoo Earnings Account may be closed (and donated to charity). In this event, Squidoo will not be responsible to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. (So, if you sell your lens, make sure the buyer knows this stuff).
Obviously, I was over Squidooing, Squidwhoing and Squidvidding….. I had spent so many hours on my niche lenses, getting a lot of attention but Squidoo just terminate it. I emailed them to ask for it back, but they said I was in violation and they said I can open a new account but they couldn’t give me back any of my lenses (even the ones which was not in violation).
Well, sad and lesson learned… so be careful of what you write, what you put and how you use your Squidoo lens…………
Oh my God,,.. 500,000 flee raging California wildfires….. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the flames are threatening 68,000 homes…..
From Los Angeles through San Diego towards the Mexican border… the entire Southern California is burning…..
It’s a very unfortunate and sad situation, let us pray for those who are evacuating…. many have lost their home…..
