			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If You&#8217;re like me, then You try to understand the deeper nature of things, the meaning of life, how everything is connected, the nature of things and ultimately - how shall we live?</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://www.philosophersnotes.com/images/template/logo.jpg" alt="PhilosophersNotes" /></p>
<p>I see life as an eternal University. <strong>The University of Life</strong>, where our curriculum is our total relationship with the whole world. And we learn by making choices and decisions and acting!</p>
<p>In the University of Life there are <strong>three ways to gain wisdom</strong> - through personal experience, through reflection and from others who are willing to share their experience and knowledge. Probably the most widely used way to gain knowledge from others is by <strong>reading a book</strong>.</p>
<p>And I have excellent news for you!</p>
<p>There is a new site called <strong>Philosopher&#8217;s Notes</strong>. It offers &#8220;concentrated wisdom&#8221; as its slogan says - summaries of great self-development books. Each summary is just 6 pages long (or short) and guides You through the Big Ideas in the book, as well as insightful comments from Brian Johnson - the guy who created the site.</p>
<p>The Notes are available 6-page <strong>PDF </strong>document and ~20 min <strong>MP3 </strong>file.</p>
<p>But enough. Head over to <a href="http://www.philosophersnotes.com/welcome" title="PhilosphersNotes" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.philosophersnotes.com');">Philosopher&#8217;s Notes website</a> and sign up for just $39.95 and You&#8217;ll get Notes on 40 books righ ahead as well as receive a new Note every other week for a whole year! It&#8217;s more than a bairgain - it&#8217;s a no-brainer, I&#8217;d say! <img src='http://www.beexcelsior.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oh yeah, You can<strong> test-drive the offer</strong> by signig-up for free samples of four Notes. Just enter your e-mail at the bottom of the welcome page and start gaining wisdom!</p>

Inflācija ikvienam nozog darba augļus, ienākumus - tāpēc būtiski ir izprast kas ir inflācija un kā sevi pasargāt no tās postošās ietekmes.

		<description><![CDATA[The Four Agreements
by Don Miguel  Ruiz
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.                      					                [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Four Agreements</strong></p>
<p>by <a href="http://www.miguelruiz.com/fouragreements.html" title="Don Miguel Ruiz" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.miguelruiz.com');">Don Miguel  Ruiz</a><img src="http://www.miguelruiz.com/publications/4Abook.jpg" alt="4 Agreements" align="right" height="254" width="164" /></p>
<p><strong>1. <span class="subTitle">Be Impeccable With Your Word</span></strong><br />
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.                      					                Avoid using the word to speak against yourself  					                                    or to gossip about others. Use the power of                      					                your word in the direction of truth and love.</p>
<p><strong>2. <span class="subTitle">Don&#8217;t Take Anything Personally</span></strong><br />
Nothing others do is because of you. What                      					                others say and do is a projection of their  					                                    own reality, their own dream. When you are                      					                immune to the opinions and actions of others,  					                                    you won&#8217;t be the victim of needless suffering.</p>
<p><strong>3. <span class="subTitle">Don&#8217;t Make Assumptions</span></strong><br />
Find the courage to ask questions and to express                        						            what you really want. Communicate with others                                    						as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings,                                     						sadness and drama. With just this one agreement,  					                                    you can completely transform your life.</p>
<p><strong>4. <span class="subTitle">Always Do Your Best</span></strong><br />
Your best is going to change from moment to                                    						moment; it will be different when you are  					                                    healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance,                                     						simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment,                          					            self-abuse and regret.</p>
