While on the telephone with a user, I determined the need to have him open PC Anywhere so I could further assist him with the problem.  He already warned me he was not real good with computer things, so I carefully walked him through opening PC Anywhere and giving me his address so I could connect.  Once connected, I rapidly moved the mouse around the screen to demonstrate that I was now controlling his computer.  I said to him, "Do you see the mouse moving around?  That's me."   His reply was, "Nope, I was watchin' it,  but the mouse never moved."

The Echo of Life

A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams:
"AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating,
somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO,
but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your
competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it.
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF
YOU!

Welcome back!

I hope you had a great summer and are now ready for some great HDI meetings. We have a really great meeting to kick off our September session. We are excited about bringing Jerry Fritz and his Power to WOW!  Program.  We, the officers of this local  HDI chapter, are committed to bringing quality, relative topics and programs to you.  Jerry Fritz is one example of this type of program. I am sure you are aware, quality programs cost money. I think we are all in agreement that we can not afford to bring this caliber of speaker to our local meetings every month. 

We do, however, want to provide you with what is important to you. What do you want at our meetings? What can we do to get you to come to our monthly meetings?  If you are currently not attending meetings on a regular basis, why not?  We look forward to an exciting year of  HDI  meetings, and we want you to be an active part of it!

Thanks!

Rick Hovde
President N.E.W HDI
