Mahatma Gandhi saw our compassion as a bank account, and that we determine the size of our own account. When he said “Breach of promise is no less an act of insolvency than a refusal to pay one’s debt”, he meant that our responsibility lies as much with the promise box as with the promise. The larger we choose our promise box to be, the larger the promises we can keep. Our promise box determines our capacity to contribute. When we choose the size of the box, we are choosing the size of our purpose.
So you are looking to purchase a home or refinance the one you are currently living in. If this is the case, not only do you want to obtain the best mortgage rate out there, you want to obtain the current mortgage rate and not a percentage point higher.Before you begin to track down a lender who can get you going with a current mortgage rate, take some time to do a little research to find out what the current mortgage rate is on your own. Don’t just take the lenders word for it.You can find out information on the current mortgage rate, and rates in general from many resources. To name a few, the internet or the business section of your local newspaper is a good place to start and will give you a very good idea of what rates are doing.The current mortgage rate can be easily obtained if you have excellent credit, or what lenders call “A” credit.However, if your credit is challenged in any way, you will still be able to get a mortgage. Except the rate
At one of my coaching sessions last month, one of my clients said “You mentioned there is a cost to everything. What about purpose? When I step up to my Life Purpose, and live every day fully with contribution and compassion – what is the cost of doing this?”
“The cost is responsibility, which is why so few are willing to pay it.” I replied “I’m willing, but I’m unsure. What if I contribute fully, and then find it is more responsibility that I can afford to take? How can I be sure I have the capacity to pay it forward?” he asked. That’s when I told him about the Promise Box.
I was in Bali in April on holiday with my wife, Renate, and our three kids, Kathleen (10), Theresa (8) and Luke (6). On the day we were leaving, the kids had promised that if they could stay up late they would pack their own bags in the morning. When it was time to leave, the bags weren’t packed and the kids were jumping on the beds. The bags got packed in a rush, we were late, and on the way to the airport I asked the kids to come up with their best ideas on how to keep promises.
On the plane, Kathleen reported on behalf of the team following their mini-conference on promise keeping: “Dad, we all came up with different ideas so I’ll tell you all of them. I think that the best way to keep promises is to write them down so that we remember. Luke says if you don’t make them in the first place you can’t break them. And I think both of these are good ideas. But we like Theresa’s the best!”
“And what would that be, then?” I asked.
Theresa interrupted by proudly presenting a colour drawing of a box she had scribbled on the way to the airport. “It’s a promise box.”
“What’s a promise box?”
“Well it’s like my wish box, where I keep my wishes. But this one is made just for promises. I think maybe sometimes is difficult to keep promises because we have nowhere to keep them. Look, it’s got a padlock so the promises can’t escape.”
“And the padding around the box?”
“That’s so the promises don’t get broken, Silly.”
“And that little person?”
“That’s not a little person. That’s a normal size human being. So you can see the box is huge. Just in case you want to keep a really huge promise.”

When he said “Breach of promise is no less an act of insolvency than a refusal to pay one’s debt”, he meant that our responsibility lies as much with the promise box as with the promise.

Police officers, teachers and nurses who have just completed their training, earning starter salaries are finding it increasingly difficult to get on to the property ladder. Could co-buying, also known as joint ownership, be the answer?Co-buying involves two or more people jointly taking out a mortgage on a property and sharing all of the costs associated with purchasing and running a house. Will this appeal to ‘key workers’ who are a section of society everyone would like to see being able to afford their own homes?At the moment very few ‘key workers’ including nurses, teachers, junior doctors, police and fire officers, paramedics and social workers can afford to move if they have been lucky enough to afford a property in their current location. This is particularly true of those ‘key workers’ in the North who might want to move to the Essex/Oxford/London areas but are unable to do so because of property prices.Co-buying is not a new concept but the emerg

Figure out what you want to do.You can't write an effective resume if you have no job target. What I mean by this is you need to tailor your resume to the specific job you want to apply to. Gone are the days of sending out 400 copies of the same resume.Make a list of the jobs you have held that have relevance to the new job target.If none exists, what skills did you acquire from those jobs that apply to the one you are seeking? For instance, if you are applying for an administrative assistant position, it is possible that your fast food job does not apply and should be left off. However, one exception would be if you were in a managerial position and had restaurant paperwork you were responsible for (like inventory, ordering, reports, and bank deposits).Know what things you should NOT put on your resume. (See Common Resume Mistakes - linked below).Make sure you stand out without be

Based on a two-hour interview with the late Robert Ludlum, author of some of the world's best selling novels of international intrigue.Q. How did your career in writing begin?Ludlum: When I got out of college in 1952, I wanted to be an actor. I worked pretty consistently in plays and doing voice-over TV commercials until about 1958. Then somebody said to me, did you ever think of becoming a producer?So I learned that field and produced original theater on Broadway for ten years. But I got bored with the pressures and labor problems. I had worked with a lot of playwrights, and I thought – I can write. So I wrote a humorous book about the funny things that happens when actors meet the general public - people who may not know anything about actors. I sold it to a publisher who told me, "Actually this is just what we want." I named it "Broadway goes Suburbia." Then the publisher said to me, "Of course, we have to make it much more serious. No humor. We'll call

~ Bono, throughout the U2 Elevation Tour
At the age of 16, Paul Hewson answered a note on his Dublin high school bulletin board to join a new student band. After 18 months of practicing, the band won a talent show in Limerick and got the financing for their first record. The band change its name from “Feedback”, to “The Edge” to “U2”, and Paul changed his name from “Paul Hewson” to “Bono Vox” to just “Bono”. That was in 1978. In 1984, Bono took part in Live Aid, became exposed to the plight of the poor in Africa, and from that point on became involved in every major initiative to make poverty history.
One thing led to another. Over the next 20 years, $289 million was raised. By 2002 he had set up DATA (Debt, Aids, Trade in Africa) with funding from Bill Gates and George Soros, to hold Western governments accountable to their 2002 collective promise at the UN to end extreme poverty. Through the Make Poverty History campaign this year, over 100 charities have come under one banner in the UK - led by the star power of Bono and Nelson Mandela - to pressure the G8 nations to cancel African debt and pledge the necessary funds to end Africa poverty at their summit in Scotland on July 6th to 8th 2005, and to influence the UK government’s commitment to this cause as it takes on the EU presidency later this year. In the US, the ONE campaign has brought together Holywood’s star power to pressure the US to increase their aid budget to Africa, and Bono is leveraging his current Vertigo Tour to spread the word across the US and Europe.
So what led a Dublin boy to become a leading voice in one of this generation’s great causes? How did an Irish rock star end up becoming a candidate for the World Bank Presidency and get nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize?
The size of our promise box will be a measure of our capacity to contribute. Each day we all strive to keep the promises we have made. In Bono’s case, his promise just happens to be bigger than most. From our promise box, our promises grow into our legacy. Our life purpose is our life promise. Our life promise is our life commitment to others. How big will you make yours?
As we flew over the Pacific Ocean, I asked my 8 year old daughter, “So do you think you will be making really huge promises?”
Theresa answered, “Of course, Dad, I’d have to! My Promise Box would be too empty otherwise.”
And Finally
I met a wonderful lady at our Hong Kong Momentum night last week, who I hadn’t seen for over a year. She came and heard Charlene Low talk about her property developments in Macau, heard Andrea Gutwirth talk about how she had raised the funds for her Soultalk
