<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
following statement will be quite familiar to those of you who know me
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often say, </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">“the
shortest distance between any two points is a straight line.”</span></i><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This simple concept is really the main
strategy behind my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a knack
for being able to both visualize and clarify my goals, as well as being able to
identify all the resources available to me in order to establish my current
position in relation to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my own
lingo, I call this establishing my “Point A” and “Point B.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

have to say that on the grandest scale my “Point B” would be </span><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">“the
summit of that mountain called world peace.”</span><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
</span><span style="font-family: "Lucida Sans","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I will certainly be very satisfied to reach any
point along the way, just as long as I have had the opportunity to serve
humanity.</span></span><br />

know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you
who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found a way to
serve.”</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, when I even
attempt to be of service, it becomes a powerful tool that keeps me on my toes
and boosts my energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result, I
wake up every morning with so much eagerness to explore how I may help any
person or group that crosses my path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having said the above, no matter who I come across in life I hope I will
always be aware of my priorities and commitments that I have previously made.</span></span></span>Joseph Zarabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06121396493170332154noreply@blogger.com0
