By Don Aronson Island Time and Your Internet Success
Dr. Don Aronson "The Seniors e-Doctor"
Several years ago, I had a real "eye-opener" from one of my patients.
He was from an island "somewhere in the Pacific" and when I asked him about his homeland, he made the comment that he really missed living by "island time".
Not knowing exactly what he meant, I asked what this was, and his answer really awakened me as to how we exist in the high tech world in which we live.
In a "nutshell", I learned that the inhabitants got up when the sun came up, and went to bed when the sun went down. Cars were almost non-existent, and when you said you were coming to see someone, no time was specified, and it meant "I'll see you when I see you".
Life is casual, simple, and people enjoy the beauty of the day, the flowers, and each other.
Compare that to our lifestyle.
We live by the calendar, and more specifically by the watch. Father forgive us if we're five minutes late!
How does this relate to you?
Because of the pressures of our daily lives in our "advanced" society, we have become a world of humans who accept nothing less than instant gratification.
Especially on the Internet!
We're hammered with "Get Rich Now", "John Doe made $XXX. So what do we expect? We want it NOW !
What's wrong with this scenario? We've become a land of hypertension, heart problems, divorces, and stressed out individuals!
How are we going to correct all of this and still become financially independent?
Let's take it in steps and remember that the largest mountain can be moved...one rock at a time!
First, outline your goals...you'll never obtain anything unless you know what you're looking for.
Second, plan how you're going to find your goal, and then proceed a step at a time...After all, it took God six days to create the world, and He rested on the seventh. We all know God's timing is perfect...why do we expect to "have it all right now"?
Third, have fun doing what you're doing. If you are "pushed and shoved" into accomplishing your goal, you might as well not be doing it, because you'll be so worn out when you "arrive" you won't enjoy the fruits of your labor".
How many times have you heard of wealthy individuals saying they'd give up everything if they only had their health back?
Be different...enjoy your life, don't expect "overnight" success, and be grateful for all the beauty around you...your family, your friends, and above all, "take time to smell the roses".
Finally, keep working at what you want to do, enjoying it as you progress, and always keeping your eyes on your goal and "the big picture".
Here's an example for you to remember: We all love "lush" lawns and we put hours, days, and weeks into seeding, fertilizing, watering and mowing.
Knowing this will result in a lawn we will truly enjoy.
How many of us stay up all night and spend all day watching that grass grow?
The bottom line here is that we all must keep our focus on our goals, seek out the information we need, water and fertilize our crops by utilizing that information, continually improve on what we're doing, and be persistant in our efforts.
Then too, your business and your success will result in something you can truly enjoy (just like your lawn).
I've heard that Confucious once said "Man have to sit for a very long time before roast duck fly into his mouth".
I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that if you strive for success it will surely come to you, but you have to work for your own success...keep focused on that success!
Finally remember, life is a journey...enjoy the trip!
Live your life as the islander's do...enjoy the beauty around you, and have fun!

By Anonymous June 26, 2004 -- The patented Island Chair is designed and manufactured to provide each individual in the Chair the ability to adjust the Chair exactly to their body size. When the Chair is properly adjusted, the occupant is in near perfect balance with their feet level or slightly elevated. The condition of balance removes all pressure points throughout the body, thus providing total relaxtion and removing the stress, which is often is the source of back pain. The Chair is suspended from a single swivel point, which can hang best from an Island Chair Stand, or from a tree, beam, horizontal pipe, etc. The maximum capacity for the occupant is 300 pounds. The Chair is completely asesembled, making it easy to hang or remove for storage. The powder-coated steel pipe Chair Stand has five sections, which easily assemble and disassemble without the use of any tools. This makes for simple storage, or convenient transportation to favorite activities such as, Camping, RV touring, Boating, Soccer games, Football Games, Baseball Games, and other open field events.
