BG’s Positively Speaking

Click To Delete

People today have mastered the art of using the delete button on our computer keyboard. We use it to delete our junk mailbox, eliminate OLD emails, and eliminate useless or outdated information. When we click delete, something else happens: we help our computer run better and perform the tasks we need faster and more efficiently. We have cleared all the accumulated, unwanted information from our memory, leaving it free to concentrate on the important things we need to do now.

Is there a lesson we can learn from this?
You bet there is! We can function more efficiently when we learn how to use our “personal” delete button. We will be able to achieve more, making us feel more positive and creating the better life that we seek. The secret lies in recognizing what we must delete so they don’t take up permanent residence. Here are a few things to help move you toward that better life.

When someone says something negative about you, your abilities, options, dreams, and achievements. Don’t let them determine who you are or what you can become…. CLICK “DELETE”

Next time someone does something that annoys you, hurts you, insults you or tries to get you angry. Treat them like the junk mail they are. Don’t allow them to get under your skin…. CLICK “DELETE”

Whenever you hear someone talk negatively about your family, friends, associates, or boss, Let their words fall into the garbage bin. Don’t let their opinions dominate the way you think. Develop your own relationships and your own opinions…. just click “DELETE.”

Create a BETTER life……… Learn how to click “DELETE”!

Extreme Golf

Andre Tolme, 35, finished his last round of golf in Mongolia, losing 509 golf balls and hitting 290 over par. His course? The entire length of Mongolia, where each “hole” was up to 179,222 metres long. The course took 9 months to traverse Mongolian Steppes with nothing but a Jeep, a tent and a three-iron.

His caddy drove the Jeep and supplied water along the course, which followed the land once ruled by Genghis Khan. Along the way, he encountered bubonic plague-carrying marmots, constant heat, 65 km/h gusts of wind, and howling wolves. Tolme, a civil engineer from New Hampshire, divided the 1,986-kilometre length of Mongolia into 18 holes – a course he estimated at having a par of 11,880. His final scorecard shows 290 over par, with a “handicap” score of 506. Why did he do this? Officially, Tolme stated that he wanted to raise Mongolia’s awareness, pioneer the sport of extreme golf, and expand his “artistic imagination.” I suspect it had something to do with his new catchphrase, “If Genghis Khan. So can I.”

The aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of the pigpen when the elderly woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their golden wedding anniversary. “Let’s have a party, Jethro,” she suggested. “Let’s kill the pig.” The farmer scratched his grizzled head. “Gee, Elvira,” he finally answered, “I don’t see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago.”

Love And Marriage

An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep, but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, “You used to hold my hand when we were courting.” Wearily, he reached across, held her hand for a second and tried to get back to sleep. A few moments later, she said, “Then you used to kiss me.” Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep. Thirty seconds later, she said, “Then you used to bite my neck.” Angrily, he threw back the covers and got out of bed. “Where are you going?” she asked. “To get my teeth!”
