How Do You Define Success
There was a motorcycle policeman on either side of Osceola to support the torch she was holding. There would be a strong hand under hers when she became too tired to hold it aloft herself. The crowds cheered while she smiled and beamed.
Osceola never dreamed such an honor would be hers. She didn’t dream of any of the honors heaped on her in the years after. . . But wait - I’m getting ahead of myself.
Osceola McCarty had dreams of being a nurse when she was a little girl growing up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Her dreams were laid aside when family needs forced her to leave school at age 13 and join her grandmother, mother and aunt beside the washing pot in the back yard.
That big black kettle, boiling away under the relentless Mississippi sun, pelting rain, or cold winds, became her existence. You could find her, from early in the morning until late in the evening, either washing clothes or stooped over a hot iron as she crisped them up. At some point she became content with her life. She loved her work but she thought a lot about what education would have meant to her if she could have stayed in school.
Osceola buried her grandmother, then her mother, then her aunt. And she kept right on washing and ironing. 75 years worth. She lived alone. She walked everywhere she went. She didn’t talk much because there was no one to talk to. She pretty much just worked. With the exception of the trip she made to the bank every month to put money away for her future. In 87 years she had only been out of Mississippi once. So how did this elderly black woman end up carrying the Olympic torch?
Well, it all began the day she made her monthly trip to the bank. She had decided to retire because the arthritis in her hands had gotten so bad. The bank officers suggested she should make plans about what she was going to do with all her money. All her money? Yes. 75 years of savings, of putting away small amounts of money, had grown to more than $200,000!
Osceola knew she wasn’t going to live forever. After some thought, Osceola decided that upon her death she would give 10% to the church, 10% each to 3 cousins, and the rest, $150,000, to the University of Southern Mississippi right there in Hattiesburg. "I just want the scholarship to go to some child who needs it, to whoever is not able to help their children," Osceola said. "I'm too old to get an education, but they can."
She never dreamed of the uproar her gift would cause. Nor the honors that would be heaped on her – meeting President Clinton; numerous awards; an honorary doctorate from Harvard University; the keys to cities; travel all over America; and so much more.
Osceola simply wanted what she had worked so hard for all her life to make a difference for others. Her philosophies of life were simple and powerful.
On work: "I knew there were people who didn't have to work as hard as I did, but it didn't make me feel sad. I loved to work, and when you love to do anything, those things don't bother you."
On saving money: "A smart person plans for the future. You never know what kind of emergency will come up, and you can't rely on the government to meet all your needs. You have to take responsibility for yourself."
You see, success means different things to different people. Success to Osceola meant working hard, saving her money, and then in the end – making a difference to others. She never had much as far as material things but when she died in 1999 at the age of 91, she was rich beyond belief in all the things that truly mattered.
How do you define success? Too many people never answer that question for themselves. They let the world define success for them, and then wonder why they are dissatisfied with the results of their life. Take some time and discover the answer for YOUR life.
Here’s one more of Osceola’s beliefs:
On good living: "There's a lot of talk about self-esteem these days. It seems pretty basic to me. If you want to feel proud of yourself, you've got to do things you can be proud of. Feelings follow actions."

Are You Corporate Burn-out?
Corporate Burnout
Do you dread getting up to face another day at work? You’re not alone. In fact, you may well be in the majority. Corporate burnout is becoming so widespread throughout the US and other countries that people travel the country giving seminars on how to handle job burnout and make workers feel less stressed. Of course, you’ve probably heard the drill-”Learn to work smarter, not harder”… “Be a team player”… “It came down from the higher-ups”… “In the end this will help us reach our goals and we’ll get fat bonuses.”
Of course, the goals set for many corporate employees are so unrealistic that the bonuses they hold out for never materialize. Perhaps you hit 8 out of 9 targets, but sorry, you don’t get the prize because you didn’t hit that last, totally impossible ninth one. Sometimes it feels like you’re working in some sort of absurd carnival sideshow. It’s no wonder you don’t feel very committed to a corporation that treats you like a slave. How can you feel loyal when there’s so little appreciation?
Mega-Stress
The unrelenting stress of a high-pressure job can lead to numerous health problems as well- hypertension, heart attacks, backaches, anxiety, headaches, depression, and even addiction to drugs or alcohol, either as a way to try to stay energized and “up” to complete excessive workloads, or as a self-medicating attempt to relax when you finally have some time for yourself.
To add to the stress, stories of layoffs by major corporations are announced every month.
In 2006, 1,500,000 workers were pink-slipped in mass layoffs (”mass” meaning more than 50 employees at a time). Rumors circulate constantly about what the top management is doing now, what changes are in the wind. Companies are “reorganizing.” They’re “outsourcing” or selling out to another company. Or they’ve gone bankrupt-only to reappear overseas, employing workers for a tiny percentage of their American counterparts’ salaries.
Fat Cats and Sad Sacks
Average, everyday workers like you are the ones who bear the brunt of these kinds of changes. CEO’s and other top executives just keep rolling in the dough-even those at companies you wouldn’t think of as “blue chip.” For example, in 2005, the annual pay package of Dollar General’s CEO, David Perdue, was $3,314,901 (as reported by The Corporate Library). An American worker earning an average salary would have to work until the year 2135 to make what Perdue makes in one year. But frankly, this guy is small-time. The average total compensation for a CEO of a Standard & Poor’s 500 company in 2005 was $13.51 million-over four times what Perdue made, and a 16% raise over the year before. Did you get a 16% raise recently?
Like many of your co-workers, you probably feel angry, undervalued, underpaid, and exhausted when you think about stories like these. Few salaried employees in corporate America work a traditional 40-hour week. Many put in 50, 60, even 70 hours to meet the demands of their superiors. Hourly workers are cut off at 40 hours or less so the company can avoid paying overtime-and you know who takes up the slack. (Meanwhile, those hourly workers may have to work an additional job-at straight-time pay, of course.)
The “blame culture” that has developed in our society extends into the corporate world as well. (”It’s her fault we have to work so late. If only she’d do her job like I do!”) Feelings of competition and worries about favoritism increase feelings of anger and powerlessness.
What’s the Alternative?
There is a way NOT to let all these other people control your life and hold power over your economic survival and lifestyle. You can take control of your own life by becoming your own boss. Ironically, as you’ve become more and more disenchanted with your corporate job, you have also been learning what kind of job you need to be happy.
Are these some of the aspects you would include on your list of ideal job conditions?
The freedom to set your own hours.
Choosing how to handle situations yourself instead of deferring to a “company policy” that you find ridiculous.
The liberty to spend time with your friends and family without having to beg for time off.
Working in comfortable clothing in a location you choose.
Excellent pay that is determined by the amount of work you put in.
You’re steering your own course-no worries about someone else determining your future.
Have You Got What it Takes?
You already know you deserve more than your corporate employer will ever provide. Ironically, during all those excessive hours of work for them, you’ve honed valuable business skills that you can put to work as you build your own business. The difference is, you will reap the rewards. It’s kind of like being your very own CEO.
As long as you have a genuine desire to empower yourself, to live the kind of life you’ve always dreamed of, we can show you our easy system that will start you on the road to success. This is a legitimate business opportunity that has the potential to bring you more wealth and independence than you’ve ever dreamed of. As long as you’ve got a computer and a phone, the only other things you are going to need are a longing for personal freedom and a desire for financial security. You’ve already got what it takes-so call me and let's change your destiny. It could be the first step toward stomping out that corporate burnout fire forever.
