Motivation

Profound Thought:
"No matter what he does, every person on Earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it." -- Paulo Coehlo, Brazilian novelist
When we ordinary people think about the great inventors, scientists, business moguls, writers, explorers and leaders from history it would be easy to conclude that our own lives are small and insignificant. We are not in the same league as Leonardo da Vinci, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Thomas Edison, Thomas Jefferson, Bill Gates or the other great achievers we have heard about. A diligent researcher could list 20,000 humans whose achievements have been dramatic and remarkable. But 20,000 is a small number when compared to the 10 billion humans who have lived to adulthood in the saga of humankind.
This line of thinking suggest that the most notable movers and shakers among us number only 2 people out of each million. How significant are the rest of us? Well, let's take a look. Each of the 20,000 anointed ones had parents, grandparents, great grandparents and so forth. Without parents there never would have been a Marie Curie or Howard Hughes or John Paul Getty. Nor do great people operate in a vacuum. How large was the supporting cast that made it possible—one idea piled on another...plus all the teachers, suppliers and other necessary community members—for Guglielmo Marconi to be credited with inventing radio or Orville and Wilbur Wright to be credited with inventing the airplane?
Written history doesn't extend back to the time when the wheel or agriculture or animal husbandry were invented or when metals were first refined and shaped into cutting implements. The path that led humanity to where we are today is interwoven with more complexity than anyone can possibly imagine. Who would have worked on developing computers or software if there were not a market for these devices. Yes, the public plays a role. We are consumers. We are the fabric of society. We matter.
The telescope would have been invented with or without Galileo. Dynamite would have been developed with or without Alfred Nobel. Alfred Einstein made a giant intellectual leap in 1905 when he published his first paper on special relativity. But this concept would have been figured out by someone else if Einstein had not beaten the others to the punch.
As Paulo Coehlo says, we all play a role. Whether a man dies on a battlefield or lives in poverty in Africa or teaches chemistry at a university in America, in each case he is a part of the whole.
No one man or woman is 100% essential. The Apollo 13 movie could have been made with or without Tom Hanks. We are not all stars, but at least we are stagehands or extras in the drama of life. In some way—even if it's obscure and unnoticed, we all matter.
Moreover, we sometimes find ourselves in a position where change is possible. An interesting hand is dealt to us. When those circumstances come along, we can change our position, our role and our prosperity.
Motivation is a tool we use to influence the way we play the cards that are dealt to us.

Join The Team

Vollara Corporate

If this is going to be your company, don't you want it to have strong leadership and, most of all, staying power? Study this page for a good solid 10 minutes. It's worth it!

Read the fine print behind each heading. If possible, attend an event where Joe Urso is speaking. Here's what you will find: Joseph P. Urso is remarkably well prepared to take Vollara to the pinnacle of network marketing.

Do you want to be there at the top with Joe Urso and Vollara?

Will Joe succeed in building Vollara into a Network Marketing Giant? The Million Friends System thinks so.

The Urso preparation for Vollara began more than 25 years ago. As a young attorney he got involved in doing contract work for an investor group that was on the front lines when it came to identifying distressed companies, buying them at the right time and turning them into something valuable. They hit some home runs and Joe was sitting there like a sponge.

That's how the chippynews.com webmaster reads Mr. Urso's history. In those early years he married a woman whose father was a co-founder of the modern Direct Selling Association. Joe's mind was stimulated. I'd like to be in this industry...to do it right and do it big.

F i n a n c i a l F r e e d o m

                               1 - Remember the Sixties?                                                     
 We had hippies and Vietnam war protesters. Bill Gates turned 5 in 1960. John F. Kennedy replaced Dwight Eisenhower as president.  Historical perspective...The first Baby Boom began on Jan 1, 1946. They ushered in rock 'n roll, the computer age, fast foods and a lot of prosperity.
                         Fantastic news...It's happening again!                                        
                                 2 - The NEW Baby Boom
 The US birthrate shot up in 1980 and soon exceeded 4M births per year. These are our New Boomers.These 100 million young people will shape the future of America (and the world) through 2050. Those of us who were born in the forties and fifties will die. But our final 20 or 30 years promise to be pretty good...Assuming we have money!                                                            
                                 3 - Then and Now...
 Today's young people aren't protesting our wars. But mark these words: Twenty years from now we'll have a president who was not an Iraq or Afghanistan veteran. The New Boomers will be strongly against war. They will have learned from our mistakes. Hopefully, they'll be more fiscally responsible and less wasteful. To tell you the truth, I think our last years look pretty good!                                                                                                  
                                   4 - A Booming Economy
 Through 2023, four million new Baby Boomers will turn 18 each year.  50 million are already in the 18 - 31 demographic: they are workers, consumers, movers and shakers, voters, taxpayers and investors. Our lives will be shaped by new thinking, new companies, new inventions and a constantly evolving culture. Do you have a few bucks. I hope so; because this will be a boom era.                                                                                        
                                   5 - Inflation is coming...
The economy has been in the pits for a few years. As the recession fades away, inflation will take over. All experts know this. You'll soon need $80,000 for each $50,000 of income you have today.
 If you have plenty of money, more power to you. If not, put on your thinking cap. How you can cash in on today's Boom???                                       Please visit : www.myvollara.com/johnrivera2 ,Today. You can only go up from here.
