		<description>I just attended an event where Douglas Vermeeren spoke. I was excited and disappointed at the same time. Excited because the information he shared was absolutely wonderful and practical. Just like everyone is saying. Disappointed because the time passed too quickly and there is so much more I wanted to learn. If you ever get the change to hear Doug Vermeeren live do it. He is so much better in person than in The Opus.</description>

		<description>Thank you Mary. 
I think you meant for your link to be this one http://www.tryitoneverything.com/cmd.php?af=1129119 because the one that you added doesn&#039;t go anywhere.
Yes, I quite agree that it&#039;s an excellent tool. 
I too am an affiliate and I have this link as well, which offers a fantastic free online audio event: http://budurl.com/FreeTappingEvent
Thanks for visiting here, Mary.

		<description>I also liked The Opus. I am here to report that Douglas Vermeeren has another movie coming, which I think will also be great. I tis called The Gratitude Experiment. (You can see a trailer at www.Gratitude-Experiment.com)  I think it will be incredible.</description>

		<description>Hey Great Blog! I enjoyed statement, get just as &#039;involved in what the person is saying as they are.&#039;  This sums up active listening perfectly, as unfortunately so many people wait their turn to speak, only hearing keywords and responding accordingly, but not relevantly.

		<description>Great post!

Success is the habit of learning from failures, and keeping your head up, no matter how many the challenges there is. The more they are, the more you learn,  and the more you learn, the more closer to success.</description>

		<description>Dear Helen,

I found this article extremely useful &amp; timely! A friend I love a lot had asked me to teach her English and my days are really busy right now. Although I knew committing to this was not the best for my already hectic life, I was about to say &#039;yes.&#039;

Thanks to &#039;coincidences&#039; that are always ready to help me, I read this post and I called my friend to decline. I&#039;m extremely relieved.

Thanks a lot!</description>

		<description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;This is Norman, a webmaster. Congratulations for maintaining such a good blog on finance!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I own some websites on-Debt, Real estate and Mortgage having good internet presence and traffic. Yesterday when one of our forum moderators informed me about your blog, I visited it. Man, your finance focused &amp; nicely presented posts really make me admit that the content of your blog posts are standard and relevant.

		<description>Well it seems to me that we in Malaysia are suffering from high inflation and boom in our economy, we have to import in foreign labour for undesirable jobs that none of our citizens wants to work at.  China, Indonesia and Singapore are also booming, an example would be a dessert I bought a month ago was $ 1.20 in local currency and currently is selling at $ 1.80 which shows high inflation... The job market is also good with 2 jobs available for 1 worker, leading to high wage growth, hence we have to import in labour.  We found out after March 2009 that we were not going to go into a Recession, imagine our surprise when we were told we were going to go into a Recession, we suspect we were saved by China&#039;s boom and growth !  You are just too depressing, you should be teaching people how to fight inflation and how to job hop to a higher wage as well as how to spend all this easy money !</description>
