Wealth Inequality ‘Crisis’ As Richest 1 Percent Account For Half The World’s Wealth DONATE NOW Global inequality has worsened since the millennium, with a NEW    finding: the richest 1 percent account for half of the world’s wealth. The world’s top 1 percent held 45.5 percent of all household wealth in 2000. Now, they hold 50.1 percent, according to Credit Suisse’s annual Global Wealth Report. The report highlights that Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) – people who are worth more than $50 million – as being the driving force behind the gap. This group of wealth holders has grown five-fold since 2000. “While the bottom half of adults collectively own less than 1 percent  of total wealth, the richest decile (top 10 percent of adults) owns 88 percent of global assets, and the top percentile alone accounts for half of total household wealth,” the report said. It was also the wealthy who benefited from the global fortun...

By Kathy Caprino Look around you and you’ll see three kinds of people — those who hate their work, and complain bitterly, those who just tolerate their work and see it as a paycheck and aren’t looking for more (or feel they can’t have more), and finally, those who love their work, and relish it. The third category is a small subset of all professionals globally, but this group stands out because these are, most often, the people who change the world for the better. In my work as a success coach and writer, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with people who’ve made a true and measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. But among this group of world influencers there are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all priv...

If you understand that you have control  of your acts and reaction, you not only get better results , but you also have a much better journey through life. Isn't it better to go through life with the knowledge and belief that you are not a victim of circumstance but are in control of your choices. ****************************************** History is filled with stories of people who have succeeded after years of failures. These people had faith in what they were doing despite failing and being attacked by those who doubted. What keeps all achievers going is their optimistic faith in what they believe they can do not focusing on what they cannot do or control. ****************************************** Life rewards excellence, you will never be excellent or rich unless you absolutely, passionately love what you are doing ****************************************** Do not be afraid to abandon the ship and take a long swim when the passion is gone and the excitement has ...

Belief is nothing but a state-a feeling of certainty-that governs behavior. The birth of excellence begins with our awareness that our beliefs are a choice. You can choose beliefs that limit you, or you can choose beliefs that support you. The biggest misconception people often have of belief is that it's a static, intellectual concept, an understanding that's divorced from action and results. Nothing could be further from the truth. Belief is the doorway to excellence precisely because there's nothing divorced or static about it. Beliefs come from a variety of sources: 1) ENVIRONMENT may be the single most potent generator of belief ghettos, on the one hand, supporting environments that help foster beliefs about being "special" on the other. 2) EVENTS, SMALL OR LARGE-like Kennedy's assassination, and personal events we'll never forget. 3) KNOWLEDGE is one of the ways to break the shackles of a limiting environment. 4) OUR PAST RESULTS- knowing ...
