How To be Remarkable

How To be Remarkable. Be Extreme

Remarkable means doing more than anyone else.
Extremism is necessary. Half-measures won't do.

Being remarkable means impressing an audience. Not yourself.

Of course, most people won't appreciate your efforts to be remarkable. But, so what? Most people can't do squat for you. They just try to keep you down.

A few people insanely focused on what you do is better than thousands who are mildly interested.

Average is for losers; Get appreciated or not, whether You Win or Lose. You have to be different.

There are very few people like this, in any area of life. Most people freak out when their plan goes awry. They panic. They feel lost.

You might think you are like this in your area, but you don't know until you get nearly to the very top and you see the difference between the people two steps from the top and the top.

Abandon yesterday. What's fashionable is commonplace, not remarkable. There are no problems, only solutions. Find a way. Make it Work!!!

Intersearch Ranked 11th Globally

InterSearch Worldwide was ranked 11th in Kennedy Information's Executive Recruiter News (ERN) exclusive global rankings of retained search firms for 2008, rising three places from the No. 14 position the organization held in 2007's rankings.
The 97 offices of InterSearch's global network reported revenue of U.S. $119.3 million in 2008, up +12% from last year. Only 9 of the top-20 global executive search firms reported growth in 2008, the others reporting loss of revenue of up to -13% due to market conditions during the year's last two quarters. InterSearch Wordwide's revenue per consultant was $486,900, up from $421,100 in 2007.
"This is a confirmation of our organization's strengths and InterSearch's capability to create business opportunities, especially in emerging markets where the effects of the global economic crisis have been felt less. We will continue to focus on providing top-quality services by combining in-depth local market knowledge with an international mindframe" commented Patricia Epperlein, Chairwoman of InterSearch Worldwide.
ERN's 2008 ranking includes the 20 largest global retained executive search practices with specific data on revenue, growth, revenue-per-search consultant as well as the number of offices, partners/consultants, and associates/researchers.

Consultants from all regions participated in these projects, including consultants from InterSearch offices in developing markets.

Major sectors with high demand for cross-border executive search business in 2008 included Automotive, IT/Electronics, FMCG, Capital Equipment and Machinery, Life Sciences, and Manufacturing.
This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.

1.Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.'

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little fingers- the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

lets all join our hands and pray for a beautiful, loving and a peaceful world :) : )
