Perseverance

I want to share an excerpt from this awesome motivational mindset book that I've been reading..


'When I think of successful people, I think of Abraham Lincoln. Most people don't know his story:


He failed business in 1831.
He was defeated in state legislature in 1832.
He tried another business in 1833. It did not succeed.
His beloved fiancee died in 1835.
He had a nervous breakdown in 1836.
In 1843, he ran for Congress and was defeated.
He tried again in 1848 an dwas defeated again.
He tried running for the Senate in 1855. He lost.
The next year he ran for Vice President and lost.
In 1959 he ran for the Senate again and was defeated.
In 1860 he was elected President of the United States and has served as an iconic American hero ever since.


Imagine what his belief structure was. He always went forward. That is an exceedingly powerful key in life---to keep moving forward.'

My Music Is Where I Want You To Touch..

Music is such an essential part of life. For me, nothing is better than the feeling of discovering new and enjoyable music to listen to. I've done my fair share of research in this topic for personal benefit and would like to share what I've discovered. Below is a list of three (free) valuable resources for music which I often use. Enjoy!

stereomood

Purpose: To somewhat randomly find songs to my liking when I am in particular moods.

Details: This website hosts many free tracks which allows the user to select based on the mood that you are in, or music which would best suite a certain activity. (examples: MOOD - calm, gangsta, high, lonely; ACTIVITY - busy as a bee, cooking time, making love, sunday morning.) I find this site quite useful and with Firefox I'm actually able to rip music from it using the DownloadHelper add-on.

Pandora

Purpose: To listen to a mix from an artist or genre you like, as well as associated similar artists or music within that genre.

Details: Pandora is still free as far as I know. I use it on my iPhone at the gym or stream it from my laptop. Unfortunately you have to listen to 30 second ad clips randomly while listening to a 'station'.


iTunes Radio

Purpose: To listen to live streaming Internet radio stations.

Details: Not many people know about this feature of iTunes. To access, open iTunes then go to 'Library' on the top left hand side of the program followed by the 'Radio' tab. Now you can access whichever genre you are interested in listening to. Two of my particular favorites to listen to are 'dubstep.fm' and 'dubterrain.net'.

torrentz.com

Purpose: To download full music albums, movies, television episodes.

Details: This website is a search utility to download torrent files. You will need to download a program to access torrent files such as the one I use 'uTorrent.' You also should note that with using torrents there is a risk that you could download potentially threatening files to your computer and should be cautious.

playlist.com

Purpose: To search and listen to single tracks, or multiple songs from an artist or group.

Details: see above.

A blogspot just for me..and you!

My name is Jon Williams and I have created this blog as a compliment to my website joneugene.com. I'm an introvert attempting to share my thoughts and ideas with the world. I also would like to stay up to date with my friends, family, customers, and business associates new and old alike.

I plan on sharing my insight on local dining, music, the internet, gaming, film, business, relationships, observations, news, politics, spirituality, fitness, education, travel, and much more. Helping others and putting others first is my key intention in life and I feel that utilizing blogging will help a lot in this effort!

If you have any questions, comments, or disagreements regarding a topic feel free to email me personally at anytime!
