According to Wikipedia, a Purchase Order (abbreviated PO) is a commercial document issued by a buyer to a seller, indicating the type, quantities and agreed prices for products or services that the seller will provide to the buyer. Sending a PO to a supplier constitutes a legal offer to buy products or services. Acceptance of a PO by a seller usually forms a once-off contract between the buyer and seller and no contract exists until the PO is accepted.
What is your PO to the Universe? What do you want of your life?
P = Purpose
O = Outcome
What do you choose to be the major definite Purpose of your life? This is the "Why".
What is the Outcome that you desire? What are your Goals? This is the "What".
The "How" will be Bestowed by a Benevolent Universe in the form of Synchronicity and Serendipity... our duty is to Recognise, Accept & Appreciate with Grace & Gratitude.
This is a fact of life, a law of the Universe. Believe, Respect and Allow it to work in your life. Nothing lies between O & P.
A person with the Vision of a major definite Purpose for life is someone with the power of a sharp razor which can more quickly and efficiently cut through obstacles and achieve Great Success with Grace.
It is the most invisible and slender edge of the razor that makes way for the bulk of material that would follow. Likewise, when a person Focus Energy in a specific direction with Clarity, Success in this single area would pave the way for further future developments in other areas.

Survival of the Fittest?
Survival of the Fittest?
Not anymore. In this age, it’s the Survival of the Smartest.
The Strong takes from the Weak, but the Smart takes from the Strong.

Quotations on Learning (Work in Progress)
“Any child can be developed, it depends on how you do it”
~ Shinichi Suzuki
“The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”
~ Pablo Casals
“Children desperately need to know - and to hear in ways they understand and remember - that they're loved and valued by mom and dad”
~ Paul Smally
“If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.”
~ Dr. Haim Ginott
“The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond our wildest dreams.”
~ Sidney Madwed
“When love is deep, much can be accomplished”
~ Shinichi Suzuki
“Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.”
~ Richard L. Evans
“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”
~ Confucius
“Great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance.”
~ Professor William Hundert
“One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.”
~ Albert Einstein
“Children learn to smile from their parents.”
~ Shinichi Suzuki
“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another; it is the only means.”
~ Albert Einstein
“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”
~ James Arthur Baldwin
“Not to know what happened before you were born is be forever a child.”
~ Cicero
“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.”
~ John Cotton Dana
“It is necessary to be concerned about the importance of educating a really beautiful human spirit”
~ Shinichi Suzuki
“The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.”
~ Elbert Hubbard
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
~ W. B. Yeats
“One looks with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.”
~ Carl Jung
“Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.”
~ Roger Lewin
“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think, rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.”
~ James Beattie
“We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyfull of words and do not know a thing. The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.”
~ Malcolm Forbes
“ Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.”
~ Sir William Haley
“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.”
~ Anatole France
“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”
~ Galileo Galilei
“Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.”
~ John Ruskin
“We must have the courage to examine everything, discuss everything and even to teach everything.”
~ Condorcet
“I've come to the frightening conclusioin that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makesthe weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”
~ Dr. Haim Ginott
“We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.”
~ Phyllis Diller
“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”
~ Angela Schwindt
“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.”
~ Galileo Galilei
“I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe.”
~ Shinichi Suzuki
“If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.”
~ Abigail Van Buren

The Beyond Possibilities Logo
3 circles from the letters BP Each circle = Completion, Open & Transparent
Each a Portal of Possibilities... All Portals Beyond Possibilities...
2 circles = (horizontal) Infinity 
+ (vertical 8) Prosperity = Abundance
3 circles = ever expanding Possibilities, both breath (1st, bloom) & depth (flow). Unity, Oneness, Interconnectedness.
Body, Heart & Mind.
Physical, Emotional & Mental.
Juggling (basic pattern of fantasie de vinci - infinity symbol)
4th invisible circle = Spirit, Spiritual4 circles in balance = 2 pairs of opposites held in tension with an “invisible” Center of Peace, Truth, Joy, Compassion & Love, which holds everything together.
Body, Heart, Mind & Spirit.
4 circles together extend toward our external world and beyond to interact with & affect the Material, Social & Environmental circumstances that surrounds our outward lives. This is the Divine Without, our Sacred Source.Everything merges into the Universal Divine.
~ Rolling Thunder, CHEROKEE
“The atom is a circle, orbits are circles, the earth, moon, and sun are circles. The seasons are circles. The cycle of life is a circle: baby, youth, adult, elder. The sun gives life to the earth who feeds life to the trees whose seeds fall to the earth to grow new trees. We need to practice seeing the cycles that the Great Spirit gave us because this will help us more in our understanding of how things operate. We need to respect these cycles and live in harmony with them.”
~ White Bison
“The number Four, the first square number, reconciles the two forms of mathematical growth, being both 2+2 and 2x2, and it represents the human instinct for symmetry and order by dividing the compass onto four points and the year into four seasons. It is at the foundation of civilisation, settlement and rectangular land division. It is the foursquare number of solid earth as opposed to formless heavens.”

Create Your Day
Dear Possibilities Seekers!
How are your New Year Resolutions coming along? For those of you who did not plan for what you want in 2006, I urge you to do so now! When you set goals and put in place a plan to achieve them, you are taking responsibility for your own life. No one else is going to do this for you...
When you schedule and plan your day by the hour, your life will be more organised and you will have a sense of achievement knowing that you are moving towards your goals, fulfilling your mission and achieving your life's purpose, each and every moment.
Start by allocating time to create your day one week in advance. Set up your work meetings and personal appointments as well as allocate time for family, friends and self (leisure, fitness, learning and service etc). More importantly, include your intentions for the coming week.
When you get used to this... extend the practice to create your day monthly. You will be able to see your life with clarity and also live life with confidence. You will be in a better position to determine which activities are aligned with your values, vision and goals. As a result, you will be able to make better decisions that place you on the path towards balance, happiness and success.
You will experience positive changes and results almost immediately. Do share your experience with me espcially when little miracles, synchronicity and serendipity start to happen in your life. Anticipate without expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised :-)
To help you start the life changing process of creating your day, I have included my personal planner free of charge... it is like nothing you have used before and you will be surprised by its simplicity. You will gain much clarity into the planning of your daily activities and also schedule your whole month on one single piece of paper!
I am using it myself & all my clients & students swear by it.
Simply print it out and use different color pens & highlighter to block out your schedules. Think of bar charts and you will get the idea. Write you activites in these hour blocks & experience for yourself how clear & organised your life suddendly becomes. Drop me an sms or email if you need help.
This was originally created for my personal use... then some friends love it so much that they suggested I should sell it... I have decided to share it with you for free.
It comes with my business card and flyer but I believe that once you experience the benefits this little tool brings... you will agree that it is great value & worth the change :-)
The planner will be available for free from our file store for a limited period only. Do let me know if you encounter any problems accessing this transformational tool.
"Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action." ~ Napoleon Hill
P.S. Please feel free to share it with your friends once you are convinced of its effectiveness & efficiency.
P.P.S. As this started as a personal planner, there were no legend... and because I live in Singapore, the holidays are in the context of my beautiful little country.
Pink = Public Holidays
Yellow = School Holidays
Green = Scheduled School Holiday such as Children's Day
This planner may be reproduced without change and in its entirety for noncommercial and personal use only.
