This book will assist you in achieving twice as much in half the time IF you persist in taking action every day to create a more effective YOU. In time, others will want to know how you get so much done. Then—and only then—will you be ready to make a difference in the world by sharing it with others. Thank you for your trust. I promise you when you put this book down, you will be a different person. Mark Matteson IX Chapter 1 Inspirational Dissatisfaction! ave you ever heard someone say, It’s about time? When things get bad enough in our life, H we are motivated to change. I like to call it INSPIRATIONAL DISSATISFACTION! This little project is something I HAD to write. These are lessons I needed to learn and then relearn. In sharing this with you, I am reminding myself that IF I practice what I preach on these pages, I will get the results I seek in a fraction of the time and effort expended. First-person experience has proven this time and time again. Like me, if you have ever spent an extended period of time disorganized, frantic, going 200 mph and ultimately not getting the critical things done, you will appreciate what these simple (not easy) ideas can do for your life. You will experience joy, balance, peace of mind, and a sense of control and effectiveness that is truly life altering. Once you have mastered some of these principles, teach them to two people you care about. It 1 It’s About TIME will help them and cement the learning, so you might attain mastery of your time and talent. It’s called “dual-plane learning.” Think of this book as a buffet. On your first visit, take a few things and put them on your plate. Taste them. How are they? Do you want seconds? On your next trip through the line, try something else. Taste it. Good huh? Have some more. Life is like that: trial and error. It’s also governed by the greatest law in the universe, the Law of Cause and Effect. We reap what we sow. Okay, let’s get started... What is time? American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a non-spatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession, which isn’t very helpful. One mentor of mine called it event control. I prefer Ben Franklin’s simple description, Time is the stuff of which life is made. In my mind, the saddest phrase in the English language is IF ONLY I HAD... It’s the pain of regret. It’s not being true to yourself, your goals, objectives, and the reason you are here on earth. It’s living life with sadness and beating yourself up because of past sins of omission and commission. Blame and regret, regret and blame. It’s Marlon Brando in the 1954 Best Picture, On the Waterfront. Charlie: Look, kid, I—how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast. 2 Inspirational Dissatisfaction! Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson. You remember that? This ain't your night! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville! You was my brother, Charley; you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money. Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money. Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody instead of a bum, which is what I am; let's face it. It was you, Charley. This book is about living your life with no regret. It is about eliminating the IF ONLY I HAD’s in your life. If you follow the suggestions, you will live a full and rich life and accomplish twice as much in half the time. You will have realized that vast potential within you. We have all the time there is. No one has any more or less of it: 24 hours in a day, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. Ever hear someone say Do you have a second? That usually means an hour. Why don’t we say no? The truth is we don’t manage time very well. We are not mindful. We manage activities in relation to the sands of time, dropping through our own personal hourglass. 3 It’s About TIME No time? That’s a myth. Here are some other myths about time. I call them Rational Lies. See if you are guilty of using one or more of these excuses. I know I have. 1. I am waiting until I have more time. 2. It (planning) doesn’t work for me. 3. I always lose my list. 4. I already took a time management course (or read the book). 5. You just can’t get organized around here. 6. But there is nothing I can do. 7. People keep interrupting me. 8. Time Management is boring. 9. Isn’t there a danger you will get so organized you can’t get anything done? 10. I need someone to motivate me. Is it time to be honest? Are you operating on a small fraction of your potential? Would you like to learn how to get twice as much done in half the time? If you answered yes, read on..

  • PM I Am Kloot 30.11.2012
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a · 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 · www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 30.11.2012 I Am Kloot im kommenden März auf Tour Im Januar kommenden Jahres veröffentlichen I Am Kloot ihr mit Spannung erwartetes neues Studioalbum „Let It All In“. Wie schon beim Vorgänger „Sky At Night“, der immerhin für den Mercury Preis nominiert war und den Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik erhalten hat, haben Guy Garvey und Craig Potter von Elbow die Produktion übernommen. Und wie schon bei allen Werken des Trios aus Manchester sticht die Qualität des Songwritings ganz besonders hervor. I Am Kloot ist wahrlich eine der hervorragenden klassischen britischen Bands unserer Zeit, die inzwischen mehr als eine Generation von Musikern geprägt hat. Gitarrist und Sänger John Bramwell, Bassist Peter Jobson und Schlagzeuger Andrew Hargreaves machen einfach, das muss man neidlos anerkennen, nur großartige Musik. Das exorbitante kreative Potential des Texters und Komponisten Bramwell setzen seine Mitspieler kongenial um. Dabei ist es egal, ob I Am Kloot in kleiner Besetzung spielen oder sich ein Orchester ins Studio holen: Stets bleibt es ihr typischer Sound. Das gilt auch für „Let It All In“: Vom bluesigen Opener „Bullets“ über das mystische „These Days Are Mine“ bis zur einfachen Eleganz von „Some Better Day“ strahlt das Werk von innen die tiefe lakonische Leidenschaft aus, die diese Band so sehr charakterisiert. Guy Garvey behauptet ja schon seit der ersten Platte von I Am Kloot (die er übrigens auch schon produziert hat), dass die Jungs vor allem eine so großartige Live-Band seien, dass man im Studio eigentlich nur den Aufnahmeknopf drücken müsse, schon sei die Platte fertig.

  • A NOVEL Heather Marlene Zadig
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE RAMPARTS SUBLIME: A NOVEL Heather Marlene Zadig Master of Fine Arts 2012 Directed By: Professor Howard Norman Department of English The prevailing concerns throughout this work of fiction are the questions of Who is family? and Where is home? It is a narrative which explores questions of identity in the context of modern American cultural mobility, wherein the boundaries of identity have been variously blurred, blended, and occupied by the forces of modernity and globalization. The narrative seeks to examine the usefulness of such boundaries within individual human relationships and, in particular, explores the potential for the blues as an art form to foster human relationships that are familial in nature, not in spite of its historical context but rather because of it. That the narrator himself is uncomfortably self-conscious of his own narration is representative of the novel’s preoccupation with the problems of white discourse on race and cultural identity and the limits of language in general in attempts to explore and transcend such issues. THE RAMPARTS SUBLIME: A NOVEL By Heather Marlene Zadig Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts 2012 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Norman, Chair Professor Maud Casey Professor Emily Mitchell © Copyright by Heather Marlene Zadig 2012 Table of Contents Table of Contents .......................................................................................................

  • “Sparking Your Success” (How to Unlock Your Potential Greatness)
    “Sparking Your Success” (How to Unlock Your Potential Greatness) by Mark Matteson “The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.” -Auguste Rodin “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” -Albert Schweitzer Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 - Potential Chapter 2 - Awareness Chapter 3 - Comfort Zones Chapter 4 - Self-Talk Chapter 5 - Habits Chapter 6 - Attitude Chapter 7 - Goals Chapter 8 - Hour of Power Chapter 9 - Job, Career, Calling (Extra-Mile) Chapter 10 - WINS Chapter 11 - Consistency Chapter 12 - Other-Centered Philosophy Chapter 13 - Helping Others Afterward Introduction You are the only one that truly understands what sparks your own success. For some us, getting cut from a sports team will do it. Others, it’s a well meaning friend or relative or coach that tells us we can’t or shouldn’t do something we really want to do. What motivated you as a teenager will in all likelihood motivate you as an adult. It’s a matter of getting in touch with your inner locus of control. Your inner drive. Your WANT To vs. your HAVE To. For whatever reason, be it nature or nurture, if you tell a “Matteson” we can’t do something we really want to do, it sparks something in us to prove you wrong.

Now in its 13th year, Chorlton Arts Festival will launch on Friday 17 May with a special evening in St Ninian’s Church featuring John Bramwell of I Am Kloot, nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2010 and achieving overwhelming success with their latest album, Let It All In. John will be in conversation with journalist, author and DJ Dave Haslam, and an interesting event packed with anecdotes is guaranteed.
