Why should you keep digging and never give up? It doesn't matter if your looking for a pot of gold or a hard to find old car part or if you are looking for your next client for what ever job have (being a Realtor, mortgage broker,home inspector, you get the point).This could apply to any job....really anything in your life...
Well because you never know whats going to be under the next scoop you dig up.....That's why... Yes some days you find nothing and other days you find good things.... It is a day to day trial and error and if you just give up you will never know what was under that last scoop you never turned over...
And if you dig deep enough and try hard enough and have the stamina to stand the test of time you just may find gold around the next corner....or that old car part you needed or the client that you have been searching for or what ever dreams you have...
Today is a day in history for one such man that keep digging and digging....And boy did he find gold!!!!! LOTS of gold....His name was Howard Carter You may not know that name but I'm sure most of you know what he found on this day Nov 4th 1922 87 years ago today....What Howard found was the tomb of Tutankhamun AKA..... "King Tut" .....now you know who he is don't ya...
Yes Howard dug for 31 years before he found his "his old car part, his next client, yes his pot of gold" and boy what a find he found....
So remember when your digging and not finding what your looking for .... never give up and you will find what your looking for........peace zane
Ok I have a friend....more like a dad to me... He is the one that got me involved in Real Estate as in buying rental property's....And now he needs some help and I am counting on my friends on Active Rain to help me help him...and I am sure you can do it.... everyone knows some one, that knows someone, that knows someone, that owns property on the ocean...right?
Ok he is planing a family trip to Florida next year and he wants to rent a house on the ocean....( and no he isn't taking me)
But he is looking for certain things and that's what he wants he may sway a little this way or that way...so just let me know what you got....
Here is what he wants....
#1 To rent for one (1) week from June 20th till June 26th 2010 (he would consider a week before or a week after
#2 It has to be within 25 miles of Melbourne Florida (north or south) but must be on the ocean...(not across the street from the ocean) must have a beach right out the back door.....
#3 It needs to have at least 4 bedrooms ( the more the better but at least 4)
#4 He would like 3 bathrooms but will consider2 (again the more baths the better)
#5 He would like it to have a pool (if it don't I told him he would have to live without one for a week)
So if you or anyone you know have a place like this let me know and I will pass it on to him....remember it has to be ocean front property and at least 4 bedrooms and within 25 miles from Melbourne Florida...
Thanks for all your help people....and like they say at Arby's....."your the best"
Anyway if you know of one you can E-mail me at zaneo@adelphia.net or leave a comment down below...
....................................peace zane
On November 2nd 1915 was the 1st U.S. election by proportional representation in Ashtabula, Ohio
With all the party's that have come andgone Who is to say who is right and who is wrong....no mater what party you are with List of political parties in the United States there are going to be flaws in it. And someone somewhere ain't going to like it....you can count on that...
I myself have friends that some would call Left and some would call Right and everything in between and around the whole spectrum of political views...And yes they are my friends even if we don't see eye to eye on somethings....we still have other things in common and they are my friends....I build on those things we agree on....not what we disagree on...
Anyway I was looking at this day in history and came across this little history lesson I thought I would share with you about Ashtabula,Ohio being the first to use this type of system Proportional representation it is a democratic principle rather than an electoral system in itself...ummm sounds better already...
But like all good things if it don't fit your style you will find away to make it not work..And they did....just like all the other Party's from the past and present that you, me, or them don't like
The political roots of proportional representation in the United States originated in the Progressive Movement of the early 20th century.
If by chance you have read this far you might as well click on this link it is very interesting and informative A Brief History of Proportional Representation in the United States It talks a lot about why it failed and some of the reasons at the different time periods in history.
Maybe when we as a human race come together we will get it right but until then not everybody is going to be happy with any government anywhere in this world. This is just my opinion....or is it a fact?
anyway like always, I may not know what I'm talking about...................
and If you have read this far......thanks for stopping by...............peace zane
Mr Ford once said "People can have the Model T in any colour--so long as it's black."Well it was 19 years before Henry Ford "Looked to the Past for the Future." And changed his thinking. By the end of 1927 you could have any Model A in 4 different colours ....Just not Black... He went back to the past and gave people a choice.
Now don't get me wrong I love the Internet and all it has done for Real Estate and the vast information and knowledge we can consume from it. How it has opened up a new market for everyone to meet that you would never have found before. I could go on and on with all the good it has done and I'm sure you could add things that I never even thought of...But
Is there really anything better then making a friend or finding love or getting a new client... from a face to face meeting? Is there? I think not. Like I said I love the Internet....maybe to much...But I really love to meet people face to face.
When I was younger we didn't have the Internet and I had to meet people face to face. Maybe its time to look to the past and find the future. Get out from behind your computer and see who your neighbors are, the people at the store, the ones down at the park, the people at your kids schools, they are everywhere.
Yes the computer is great but isn't face to face so much better? If you are ever in my town stop by and see me....Face to Face....
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." Henry Ford You have to go out and do it face to face......zane
Nov 1 1927 Henry Ford looked to the past to find the future and started production of the Model A

A little history if you like.....
There were several cars produced or prototyped by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 until the Model T came along. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 19 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Ford Model S,[2] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A and not the Model U. Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A
