Many people I know of have problems with their eyesight and have to wear glasses or contact lenses. I have seen the effort required by some of my friends to maintain their contact lenses and I cannot believe how they put up with it.
With bucket loads of people glued to video games and computer screens, no wonder there are so many with eye problems. However, there are some methods that can be used to throw away your glasses and contact lenses for good.
You may be thinking that laser surgery is the answer, but in reality laser surgery is expensive and may not work.
Last year I met Evgania Mehler and her husband Veit in Sydney while attending a conference. I then met them both again in Texas last May. During my stay in Texas, they showed me the project that they were working on for improving your vision. They also showed me a video. I have included half of the video at the bottom of this post. I highly recommend that you click here to watch the second part of this video. Both videos are very educational and amusing.
Evgania is from Israel and was born in Russia. She lost her mother at age 8, having to move to Israel at age 13. Evgania naturally got depressed by age 16 and ended up wearing glasses. She did a great deal of research and found a process whereby she could throw her glasses away for good. Evgania has a course where she has taught thousands of people to restore their eyesight to 20/20. No more eyeglasses are needed for them now.
I personally know Evgania and Veit and keep in contact with them fairly regularly. They both love helping people and are very talented in a wide spectrum of areas. I felt that Veit has done a great job with the videos, including this one below, and Evgania is a sweet, bubbly and caring person. So if you wear glasses or contact lenses enjoy the videos and join their course. If you don’t wear glasses or contacts, then just enjoy the videos like I did.
So watch the video below and then click here for access to the second video.
I have been in Adelaide since last Saturday. The main purpose was to catch up with dad to discuss business matters and to meet a couple of people that might mutually benefit from us visiting them. However, it was a good opportunity to catch up with other relatives who live in Adelaide too.
I spent some time last weekend at my brother’s place and my sister’s place. My sister showed me one of her son’s “Blake” stories that he had written. Blake is only 7 years of age and he typed this on 4 sides of a card. Whilst the English and grammar was not 100% accurate, Blake did a great job for a 7 year old and we were all very proud of him. I have probably done some mistakes here. lol
Below is what Blake wrote. It not only shows great English skills for his age, but reminds us of the fantastic imaginations that children possess.
Flat Blake
Once upon a time at midnight in Chine Blake went for a walk.
He got to the park and then the playground fell on him. In th morning he woke up. Then some people came and picked the playground off of Blake. He thanked them and realised that he was Flat Blake. Then he went home.
His family kept on staring at him. His son, Ben lost his toy behind the fridge. Flat Blake went under it and got the toy back. His son was happy. After tea Flat Blake went to bed. In the happy morning Flat Blake had breakfast. Then he went to the Doctor’s. He was called Declan. The Doctor said “Sometimes it is good to be flat.” “Why” “Because you can do lots of things that other people can’t do.” “So what’s good about that?” “Don’t worry Blake.” “Bye.” Then Flat Blake went home and sat down, he watched some T.V where he heard that a cat had got stuck in the tallest tree in the neighborhood. Do the he turned himself into a kite and saved the cat. He went home.
A month later people kept laughing at him. So he went home and had a good idea. “I will drink lots and lots of water.” So he did. But it didn’t do anything. He felt sad. So he went to bed. In the morning he was going to work. When he came to a voodoo shop and bought a potion. Then he drank it and ‘Pop!” He was 3D again.
Ben Teo was one of the speakers at UYMG Sydney 2008 and he was warmly applauded for providing a ton of information to the participants.
Ben spoke mostly about search engine optimization, SEO, and he provided heaps of useful tips for everyone. I liked Ben’s personality, as I am certain many others did.
His girlfriend, Phoebe Chin, now works for Stephen Pierce International as a sales director. I sat next to Phoebe while Ben was talking and took a photo of the 2 of us, which can be seen below.
I thought that Phoebe was a cute and bubbly person, so I could understand why Stephen and Alica were happy to sign her up for the sales director job. She took a photo of Benjamin while he was performing on stage, which can be seen below.
Ben showed us his catch phrase that he uses “Shh..hit That’s a Lot of Traffic”. You can find more information about Ben’s SEO techniques at Thats A Lot Of Traffic
As some of you would have realized, from the previous WIS Dallas post, I went to Texas to attend the World Internet Summit. However, some may not realize that after I arrived in Dallas, I spent some time in Whitney with some alpha leaders, Stephen Pierce and his lovely wife Alicia Pierce. I will describe some of the details of my trip below.
I left Brisbane airport on Sunday the 18th May and detoured via Sydney so that I could share a flight with Alpha Leader Jennifer. We arrived in Dallas at night, via Los Angeles, and went to La Quinta Inn via a free shuttle bus.
La Quinta Inn was a great place to stay and I must thank Gary for organizing it for us. La Quinta provided a wonderful buffet breakfast included in the price and the staff was very friendly.
During the morning we were packing our belongings to go to a log cabin that Alicia had booked for us, when I noticed a tornado chaser van. Being a meteorologist, I was keen to talk to the guy about his tornado ventures. He did not have too much time to talk, but he mentioned that due to the sophisticated equipment in the van that they usually find at least one tornado in a 2-3 week trip. He also mentioned that many Australians go on tour with them. Go to Tradd Storm Chasing Tours for more information about these tours.
Gary drove a hire car to Whitney. Thanks again Gary for organizing that and also for driving. Gary is great for organizing things. He had the assistance of a global navigation system with Sean Connery’s voice (very entertaining listening to instructions from a Scottish voice, “turn right, keep left”). Veit also helped navigate and did a great job, as Sean was not always right. While travelling on the highways I was glad that Gary was driving rather than me. It was so confusing compared to what I am used to back in Australia.
We also noticed the amount of large cars on the road. I guess that people may buy smaller cars in the USA eventually due to rising fuel costs? We had a break on the way to Whitney and I took the photo below of Veit, Evgania, Jennifer and Gary in front of the hire car.
To get to the cabins we had to stop at a security gate in order to get permission to enter the reserve. Alicia told us later that Stephen and her stayed at one of these cabins before they bought the property that they now live in. The cabin had a queen size bed and 3 single beds upstairs, so it was cozy for us all. There was a golf course nearby too. I found it amusing that on the front door it had a sign saying “in case of tornado”. Apparently tornadoes are quite common, but luckily for us none got too close to us during our stay.
During the late morning we drove to Stephen and Alicia’s place. Alicia showed us around the house while Stephen was cooking a BBQ for us. The house was large, well presented and very clean and tidy. I noticed that the cielings were very high too. Stephen did a great job with the BBQ, and seeing that there were 3 vegetarians out of the 6 Alpha Leaders (Sern Yi stayed at the house), there was plenty for me to eat. It was very nice too.
During our stay, 3 days, both Stephen and Alicia offered us tips for progressing with our Internet marketing projects. I certainly gained some great insight from them both and I really appreciate their hospitality and assistance. We also got to use the facilities that Stephen uses for DTAlpha Talkback for recording some audio products. Jennifer, in particular, made great use of this.
On the second day, we all went for a boat cruise on Lake Whitney. Stephen seemed to be very content driving the boat. Some of us went for a swim in the lake. The water was fine. 🙂
We also watched a movie in their cinema. The cinema had comfortable reclining chairs that had popcorn and drink holders and they vibrated with some of the actions in the movie. There was also a massage chair available for us to use at any time. The Alpha Leaders spent most of their time in the training room.
I was fortunate to meet Alicia’s mother, Ilona. Ilona helps out Alicia and Stephen with their business and she also did much of the cooking for us during our stay. Not only was Ilona a good cook, but I loved her company. Ilona told me that she was born in Guyana and moved to Canada when she was 15. She loves the cricket and I am hoping that she visits me, as promised, in Australia some time so that we can both attend the cricket together.
It was sad to leave, but we had to go to the Sheraton Hotel for our next adventure. That being WIS Dallas. Below is a photo taken by Gary of Sern Yi, Evgania, Veit, Jennifer and me in front of Stephen and Alicia’s place before departing to Dallas.
I have recently returned home to Australia after a long flight back from Dallas and wanted to share some of my experiences from WIS Dallas 2008.
The event was organized by Brett McFall, Tom Hua and Stephen Pierce. It was held at the Sheraton Hotel in Dallas between 22nd-25th May 2008. As an Alpha Leader for Stephen Pierce, I was invited to help assist at the event. I accepted the invitation and was glad that I did so.
There were many speakers at the event. Apart from the 3 that organized the event, Ray Edwards, Debra Thompson, Armand Morin, Sean Roach, Mike Stewart, Christopher Guerriero, Joel Comm, Adam Ginsberg and Joel Therien gave presentations. They provided some excellent internet marketing content.
There were many wonderful and interesting people at the event and below are some photographs that I took of them. The audience had a great deal of energy within it.
Dr Stan Harris is a 10th dan black belt in Karate. There are less than 100 of them world wide. He was awesome in the audience by regularly providing positive feedback for each speaker. He also gave a demonstration on stage whereby he let 3 people punch him in the stomach, including a 3rd dan blackbelt. He did not flinch with any of the blows. Dr Stan then broke about 7 boards using various strikes, a kick and a head butt. The boards had differing types of fears written on them which he “broke through”.
I loved the energy Adele had at WIS. She was always smiling and pleasant to be around. Adele is involved with motivation skills, if I can recall correctly.
I met Rochelle while doing the networking session on Saturday night. Rochelle is in the wealth creation field. She was so sweet to me and lovely to talk to.
Raghu is involved with options trading and has a product that may be available for sale in a few months time. Raghu now lives in Texas, but came from India.
As you can see, A R Hurd is quite a tall man. He always came in a basketball style outfit and was quite a funny man. He made us flick our name tags over our shoulders for this photo. I enjoyed his company.
Before the event, I spoke to David Ciup while at Stephen Pierce’s house and he invited Julie Castleberry to attend. I spoke to David throughout the event and met up with both he and Julie at the Network Session. The photo taken here is one where they found the crew, Susan (Mike’s wife), Tom and Brett having some drinks after the event had finished.
The crew were invited to the speakers dinner after the close of the event. From Left to Right.. Sern Yi, Bryan, Jennifer, Kate, Gordon, Jason, Evgania, Veit and Gary. Kate, Gordon and Jason were part of the WIS. The rest of us are Alpha Leaders.
After the WIS event had come to a close and the speakers dinner had finished, Tom and Brett were more relaxed and enjoyed a couple of drinks with some of the crew. I really enjoyed it.
