Positive Brainwashing
By Cornelis Boertjens
Brainwashing is a term perceived in a negative way by most people. But you know what, I think our brains could actually do with a bit of a washing sometimes!
You see, everyone comes into this world with a clear mind, and a belief that everything is possible. All is positive and well. Remember as a child, you could do and become everything, without any boundaries!
As we grow up however, we pick up beliefs, fears and limitations from our surroundings and peers that gradually form the person we are today. A lot of these beliefs unfortunately are negative and as we build our lives they limit us in our actions and being. Very often they therefore contribute to unhappiness or feeling unfulfilled in our lives and business.
It can be the smallest -- seemingly harmless -- remark from a mother like "just let me handle that, you are no good at that" that can convince you that you are not good at a certain task. A teacher who calls a pupil "the clumsy one" can do more harm with this remark than he realizes when repeated often enough. With every remark the belief is harnessed further in the child that it indeed is clumsy. Even though a remark is said with a smile or with the intend to be funny, it still leaves a legacy in the belief system.
This programming of course doesn’t stop at adulthood, it keeps influencing people in all stages of life. We are being influenced by our parents, kids, partner, friends, colleagues, television, newspapers, magazines and so on. Sometimes positive, but very often in a negative way. No wonder we limit ourselves in so many ways! Belief is the key to your success. If you belief you can do something, you can. If you belief you can’t do something, you will be right too.
The good news is: we can "reprogram" our mind and replace our negative, limiting beliefs for positive contributing ones. Positive brainwashing is what I like to call it! This can be done by the use of so called "affirmations". An affirmation is a positive self talk statement, stated in the present tense that covers a goal you want to achieve and that ‘overrules’ negative beliefs towards that goal.

How to Sell Anything to Anyone....
If you're a writer, in business or in the marketing arena who's interested in specializing in this million dollar knowledge, you're in luck because I'm going to share 7 of them with you right now. And here they are:
1. Story -- Everyone loves a good story
There's a magic that happens when you tell a story. The reader or listener has to become part of the story, in order to make sense of it. This is where you get them to FEEL, and almost realistically experience -- in their imaginations, what you're telling them. Unconsciously, this creates a memory and it is harder to forget. Finally, it helps you create a bond with your prospect.
Application: Relate to your prospect and come up with a story that gives them imaginative reasons to use your product or service.
2. Time Distortion -- "Pretending They Already Are"
Here's the attitude: "You already want and own this product and let me show you what it's like to." Basically, what you're doing is future pacing their thoughts as if they are holding your product or service in their hands. Use simple descriptive phrases that initiate a "sense" or "touch" response, and it instills in the mind of your prospects that they already own it. They will begin to imagine the benefits of doing so all on their own.
Application: If you sell books, they are flipping though the pages. Electronics, they are using this neat gadget (pushing the buttons, twisting knobs etc). Cars, boats, anything -- get in and drive it, grab the wheel.
3. Credibility -- To Project Authority
Make what you say believable, and nothing outrageous. Who is backing your message? Do you have happy buyers of your products or services? What do they have to say? Put that in your message. Show them experts endorse your products. If it's not believable, your prospects are going to "pick up" on that. Credibility instills what you're saying is true, period. Just give proof.
Application: Ask your customers for testimonials, even if you have to ethically bribe them for one. Offer a free sample, bonus, or report. Simply put, the more credibility you create for you and your product or service, the more believable the message becomes, and the less resistance they have when it comes to make a buying decision.
4. Urgency -- To Act Now
Even if your sales message is emotionally driven and powerful -- making them feel like the want to buy, place a sense of urgency to reinforce them to buy it now, and to not wait, period. Limited offers, supplies won't last, this deal won't last long. No matter how powerful your sales message is, if they get away -- after so long, the feeling and their buying decision erodes away their desire to buy now, until it's gone.
Application: Come up with a compelling reason to get your prospect to feel so compelled it's absolutely necessary they must buy it now, because it's urgent. Maybe use "fear of loss."
5. I Gave It To You Free, You're Guilty -- To Create The Return Effect
Ever get an offer in the mail of a free sample of a product? Ever go to a website and get 3 free chapters of a book? Giving something to someone for free creates guilt, the feeling to give back. If your friend buys you dinner, you might feel the need to buy it next time. It's human nature. When something's given, the desire to give back is created.
Application: Give away a free sample or report -- anything for free. Make sure it is something of real value. After, suggest that you've given them something and how they're one tuff nut to crack, because you've given them something for free, and you haven't heard back from them. Sit back, and watch them buy.
6. Commit then remain Consistent -- To Create Long-Term
Friendships/Action
Here's the attitude: "If you're buying from me now, we're friends; you'll buy more from me too." You've won the customers trust once you've established the first sale, and once they're happy, make them happy again, and again. Buy something from the television and you're almost always asked to buy more, it's simple. Then, two months later, another offer from that same company rings on your phone in the other room, or the offer is waiting in your mail box when you get home. Normally, being a much higher priced product or service. Why not ask? You're obviously
qualified.
Application: If they buy once, get them to buy again and again. If you sell information memberships, sell all the tools and products that the membership consists of (improving your golf game membership website -- sell golf clubs, balls, clothing, shoes etc.) If you sell them a book, sell them a home study course that's more expensive.
7. Curiosity -- To Keep Your Prospect Tuned In
Early in your sales presentation, promise what will happen when they finish and complete your sales presentation, and keep them curious. Curiosity is a powerful tool you can use to keep your prospect in suspense, and to search out the answers to satisfy that strong desire to "fill in" the missing information. Leave out certain information in your benefits that "trigger" the thought "What will happen if?"
Application: Instill and arouse curiosity early in your sales presentation to cause your prospect to want to complete your message (i.e. tell them there's a misspelled word in your sales copy, and if they can find it -- they get a special deal. Ask them if they want to compelling benefit, and tell them they'll find the answer as they continue to read, or pay attention to you.
As you've probably noticed, it's infinitely more powerful to apply these psychological devices in your presentation when you realize they all open the flood gates of a person's brain, and deliver compelling emotions and complex thoughts and meaning. Anyone who comes across one of these seven applications will "undergo" the spell of this covert influence because it sparks response below a person's surface awareness.
So, the only question to ask yourself is: "Are *you* going to use them? To find out, simply go through the following checklist, and count the number of items that apply to you.
1. You want more sales
2. You're willing to look through your sales presentation making sure each of these devices are applied
3. You prefer to *use* powerful knowledge over just "knowing it"
4. You want more power in your ability to influence others on undetectable brain levels
5. You are curious and interested in creating more powerful "unconscious" influence
6. Covert persuasion and influence doesn't scare you and you'll use it to your advantage in ethical and judicious ways
1. Story -- Everyone loves a good story
There's a magic that happens when you tell a story. The reader or listener has to become part of the story, in order to make sense of it.

Optimize Broadband & Dsl Connections
These settings allow you to boost the speed of your broadband Internet connection when using a Cable Modem or DSL Router with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create the following DWORD values, as most of these values will not already exist you will need to create them by clicking on 'Edit -> New -> DWORD Value' and then set the value as shown below.
DefaultTTL = "80" hex (or 128 decimal)
Specifies the default time to live (TTL) for TCP/IP packets. The default is 32.
EnablePMTUBHDetect = "0"
Specifies whether the stack will attempt to detect Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) routers that do not send back ICMP fragmentation-needed messages. The default is 0.
EnablePMTUDiscovery = "1"
Specifies whether the TCP/IP stack will attempt to perform path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1191. The default is 1.
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = "7FFF" hex (or 32767 decimal)
Specifies the system maximum receive window size advertised by the TCP/IP stack.
TcpMaxDupAcks = "2"
Determines the number of duplicate ACKs that must be received for the same sequence number of sent data before "fast retransmit" is triggered.
SackOpts = "1"
Enables support for selective acknowledgements as documented by Request for Comment (RFC) 2018. Default is 0.
Tcp1323Opts = "1"
Controls RFC 1323 time stamps and window scaling options. Possible values are: "0" = disable RFC 1323 options, "1" = window scale enabled only, "2" = time stamps enabled only and "3" = both options enabled.
TcpWindowSize = "7FFF" hex (or 32767 decimal)
Specifies the receive window size advertised by the TCP/IP stack. If you have a latent network you can try increasing the value to 93440, 186880, or 372300.
Exit your registry and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
If you don’t want to edit the registry, here's a little TCP utility that is ideal...

THE TROJAN “HORSE”
I found it necessary to devote a chapter to Trojans. Trojan’s are
probably the most compromising of all types of attacks. Trojans
are being released by the hundreds every week, each more
cleverly designed that the other. We all know the story of the
Trojan horse probably the greatest strategic move ever made.
In my studies I have found that Trojans are primarily responsible
for almost all Windows Based machines being compromised.
For those of you who do not know what Trojans are I’ll briefly
explain. Trojans are small programs that effectively give
“hackers” remote control over your entire Computer.
Some common features with Trojans are as follows:
• Open your CD-Rom drive
• Capture a screenshot of your computer
• Record your key strokes and send them to the “Hacker”
• Full Access to all your drives and files
• Ability to use your computer as a bridge to do other
hacking related activities.
• Disable your keyboard
• Disable your mouse…and more!
Let’s take a closer look at a couple of more popular
Trojans:
• Netbus
• SubSeven
The Netbus Trojan has two parts to it as almost all Trojans do.
There is a Client and a Server. The server is the file that
would have to get installed on your system in order to have
your system compromised. Here’s how the hack would go.
The Hack
Objective: Getting the potential victim to install the server
onto his/her system.
Method 1
Send the server file (for explanation purposes we’ll call the file
netbusserver.exe) to you via E-Mail. This was how it was
originally done.
The hacker would claim the file to be a game of some sort.
When you then double click on the file, the result is nothing.
You don’t see anything. (Very Suspicious)
Note: (How many times have you double clicked on a
file someone has sent you and it apparently did
nothing)
At this point what has happened is the server has now been
installed on your system. All the “hacker” has to do is use the
Netbus Client to connect to your system and everything you
have on your system is now accessible to this “hacker.”
With increasing awareness of the use of Trojans, “hackers”
became smarter, hence method 2.
Method 2
Objective: Getting you to install the server on your system.
Let’s see, how many of you receive games from friends?
Games like hit gates in the face with a pie. Perhaps the game
shoot Saddam? There are lots of funny little files like that.
Now I’ll show you how someone intent on getting access to
your computer can use that against you.
There are utility programs available that can combine the
(“server” (a.k.a. Trojan)) file with a legitimate “executable
file.” (An executable file is any file ending in .exe). It will
then output another (.exe) file of some kind. Think of this
process as mixing poison in a drink.
For Example:
Tomato Juice + Poison = something
Now the result is not really Tomato Juice anymore but you can
call it whatever you want. Same procedure goes for
combining the Trojan with another file.
For Example:
The “Hacker” in question would do this: (for demonstration
purposes we’ll use a chess game)
Name: chess.exe (name of file that starts the chess
game)
Trojan: netbusserver.exe (The Trojan)
(Again for explanation purposes we’ll call it that)
The joiner utility will combine the two files together and output
1 executable file called:
.exe
This file can then be renamed back to chess.exe. It’s not
exactly the same Chess Game. It’s like the Tomato Juice, it’s
just slightly different.
The difference in these files will be noticed in their size.
The original file: chess.exe size: 50,000 bytes
The new file (with Trojan): chess.exe size: 65,000 bytes
(Note: These numbers and figures are just for explanation
purposes only)
The process of joining the two files, takes about 10 seconds to
get done. Now the “hacker” has a new chess file to send out
with the Trojan in it.
Q. What happens when you click on the new chess.exe file?
Answer: The chess program starts like normal. No more
suspicion because the file did something. The only difference
is while the chess program starts the Trojan also gets installed
on your system.
Now you receive an email with the attachment except in the
format of chess.exe.
The unsuspecting will execute the file and see a chess game.
Meanwhile in the background the “Trojan” gets silently
installed on your computer.
If that’s not scary enough, after the Trojan installs itself on
your computer, it will then send a message from your
computer to the hacker telling him the following information.
Username: (A name they call you)
IP Address: (Your IP address)
Online: (Your victim is online)
So it doesn’t matter if you are on dial up. The potential
hacker will automatically be notified when you log on to your
computer.
You’re probably asking yourself “how likely is it that this has
happened to me?” Well think about this. Take into
consideration the second chapter of this manual. Used in
conjunction with the above mentioned methods can make for
a deadly combination.
These methods are just but a few ways that “hackers” can
gain access to your machine.
Listed below are some other ways they can get the infected
file to you.
News Groups:
By posting articles in newsgroups with file attachments like
(mypic.exe) in adult newsgroups are almost guaranteed to
have someone fall victim.
Don’t be fooled though, as these folks will post these files to
any newsgroups.
Grapevine:
Unfortunately there is no way to control this effect. You
receive the file from a friend who received it from a friend etc.
Email:
The most widely used delivery method. It can be sent as an
attachment in an email addressed to you.
Unsafe Web sites:
Web sites that are not “above the table” so to speak. Files
downloaded from such places should always be accepted with
high suspicion.
IRC:
On IRC servers sometimes when you join a channel you will
automatically get sent a file like “mypic.exe” or “sexy.exe” or
sexy.jpg.vbs something to that effect. Usually you’ll find
wannabe’s are at fault for this.
Chat Sites:
Chat sites are probably one of the primary places that this sort
of activity takes place. The sad part to that is 80% are not
aware of it.
As you can see there are many different ways to deliver that
file to you as a user. By informing you of these methods I
hope I have made you more aware of the potential dangers
around you. In Chapter 3 we’ll discuss what files should be
considered acceptable.

call it whatever you want. Same procedure goes for
combining the Trojan with another file.
For Example:
The “Hacker” in question would do this: (for demonstration
purposes we’ll use a chess game)
Name: chess.exe (name of file that starts the chess
game)
Trojan: netbusserver.exe (The Trojan)
(Again for explanation purposes we’ll call it that)
The joiner utility will combine the two files together and output
1 executable file called:
This file can then be renamed back to chess.exe. It’s not
exactly the same Chess Game. It’s like the Tomato Juice, it’s
just slightly different.
The difference in these files will be noticed in their size.
The original file: chess.exe size: 50,000 bytes
The new file (with Trojan): chess.exe size: 65,000 bytes
(Note: These numbers and figures are just for explanation
purposes only)
The process of joining the two files, takes about 10 seconds to
get done. Now the “hacker” has a new chess file to send out
with the Trojan in it.
Q. What happens when you click on the new chess.exe file?
Answer: The chess program starts like normal. No more
suspicion because the file did something. The only difference
is while the chess program starts the Trojan also gets installed
on your system.
Now you receive an email with the attachment except in the
format of chess.exe.
The unsuspecting will execute the file and see a chess game.
Meanwhile in the background the “Trojan” gets silently
installed on your computer.
If that’s not scary enough, after the Trojan installs itself on
your computer, it will then send a message from your
computer to the hacker telling him the following information.
Username: (A name they call you)
IP Address: (Your IP address)
Online: (Your victim is online)
So it doesn’t matter if you are on dial up. The potential
hacker will automatically be notified when you log on to your
computer.
You’re probably asking yourself “how likely is it that this has
happened to me?” Well think about this. Take into
consideration the second chapter of this manual. Used in
conjunction with the above mentioned methods can make for
a deadly combination.
These methods are just but a few ways that “hackers” can
gain access to your machine.
Listed below are some other ways they can get the infected
file to you.
News Groups:
By posting articles in newsgroups with file attachments like
(mypic.exe) in adult newsgroups are almost guaranteed to
have someone fall victim.
Don’t be fooled though, as these folks will post these files to
any newsgroups.
Grapevine:
Unfortunately there is no way to control this effect. You
receive the file from a friend who received it from a friend etc.
Email:
The most widely used delivery method. It can be sent as an
attachment in an email addressed to you.
Unsafe Web sites:
Web sites that are not “above the table” so to speak. Files
downloaded from such places should always be accepted with
high suspicion.
IRC:
On IRC servers sometimes when you join a channel you will
automatically get sent a file like “mypic.exe” or “sexy.exe” or
sexy.jpg.vbs something to that effect. Usually you’ll find
wannabe’s are at fault for this.
Chat Sites:
Chat sites are probably one of the primary places that this sort
of activity takes place. The sad part to that is 80% are not
aware of it.
As you can see there are many different ways to deliver that
file to you as a user. By informing you of these methods I
hope I have made you more aware of the potential dangers
around you. In Chapter 3 we’ll discuss what files should be
considered acceptable.

JOKE: Only three doors
An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.
The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"
The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"

[EnjoyTheMasti] Sardar Again..!---------------must read
.............................................
We all love Sardar jokes. But do you know that Sikhs are one of the hardest working prosperous and diversified communities in the world.
My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you.
It has had a deep impact on my thinking.
During last vacation, his few friends came to Delhi . They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys being boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease the old man. But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.
At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, ''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes.. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world..
But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this or any other city.'
My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I couldn't find a single Sardar begging anywhere.'
MORAL:
The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Sardar will drive a truck or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, put a fruit juice stall, take up small time carpentry, ... but he will never beg on the streets.

5 Mind Tricks to Beat the Recession
Opportunites Are Always Available
Here is the real secret – regardless of the economy, opportunities are always available to turn our ideas into cash. Despite the economy many people are still making a lot of money. There’s no reason why you can’t be one of them.
How can you do this?
#1 Start Your Own Business
If one of your goals in life is to achieve wealth and financial independence, one of the quickest and surest ways to achieve those results is through owning a business of your own. Period. Believe it or not, a recession can actually be a wonderful time to start a new business venture. I can tell you right now that some of the most profitable businesses were started during a recession. The owners simply addressed a need during an economic downturn which continued
to be successful even when the economy rebounded.
Starting a business in a recession is like vacationing in the off-season. It’s a little less crowded, and everything starts going on sale. It allows you to tap into new markets, launching new products that will serve the needs of the current economy and build a business for the future.
#2 Pay Close Attention to What You Think and Say
During tough times, it’s easy to get into the habit of thinking negative thoughts and making negative comments. Constantly thinking and talking about what is wrong with your life, your business or the economy will only serve to bring you more of what you focus on. Before you know it, you’ll end up in one of those self-fulfilling prophecies we talked about earlier.
Stay informed, but don’t keep repeating what you hear on the news. Remember, energy flows to where attention goes. By focusing on what you want instead of what you don’t want, you’ll also do wonders for your creative thinking. Creative thinking allows you to come up with solutions to your problems. It also allows you to see new opportunities. One of the biggest downsides to being in a negative frame of mind and focusing on what you don’t want is that it blinds you to opportunities.
#3 Invest In Yourself
Investing in yourself is more secure and more rewarding than owning stocks, bonds or real estate. Moneymaking ideas are everywhere. If you act fast on them, you can prosper fast. Don't simply entrust your money to others to make money for you -- have faith in your own ideas and take control of your own financial future.
The more you expand your awareness and education, the more you will be able to see opportunities to make more money. The more you invest in yourself -- the better the return you'll get when you take action on what you learned.
#4 Understand that Scarcity is a function of the mind; so is Abundance
The choice is always yours. Are you going to focus on scarcity or the lack of something or are you going to focus on creating more of what you want? These are your only two options. Instead of focusing on cutting back and spending less, change your point of focus to create MORE of what you want. Use that same creative energy to attract the things you desire and to improve your life and your business.
# 5 Start appreciating what you already have!
If you really take stock of all the things you do have in your life, I bet you will be amazed. Too often people focus on what’s missing in their lives and as a result, they ignore the riches they do have; a place to live, a car to drive, a job, career or business, a great family, a loving spouse, wonderful children, fantastic pets, loyal friends and the freedom to create whatever they desire.
Every so often someone will write to me and tell me how desperate things are for them. Since I’ve been there myself at one time, I can surely sympathize. But I always point out the same thing…
How bad is it – really?
Ask yourself: how bad is it -- really?
As difficult as you current situation may be, it is only temporary. There are millions of people all around the world would trade places with you in a heartbeat.
The good news is if things are not going your way at the moment this entrapped cyclical experience is only here to give you a warning that your POINT OF FOCUS in going in the wrong direction.
When you feel grateful you automatically place yourself in alignment for more good things to come into your life. It also opens the doorway to your mind. Only when it’s open, can opportunity jump in. Consistent gratitude is the easiest track to ending poverty internally and externally. When your abundance is measured by how deeply you FEEL grateful for what you already have and how often you visit this feeling, then your experience of attracting riches is truly unstoppable. This is
the most direct path to financially magnetizing massive abundance and success.
For example, how bad can it really be if you have enough to eat? Many people around the world have had nothing to eat in days….
How bad can it really be if you are sitting at a computer and writing me an email? Some people around the world don’t even have electricity to run a computer, let alone own a computer.
And finally...
