What Baby Regina teach me about life

What Baby Regina Taught Me about Life

I have always been aware that my new baby, Regina is special, but recently, I try to understand more about her and I try to learn what she is really trying to say to me. I then realized that she is more of a philosopher than a 5 month old infant.



The following is an exclusive interview with her at our home in Chandler, Arizona.

be Happy

Daddy: "Regina, what do you think is the purpose of life?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Be happy. When I get to eat, I am happy; when I have my nap, I am happy; when I get a fresh diaper, I am happy; when I don't have to wear a diaper, I am very happy. Try to do thing that make you happy and be happy with everything you do."
Daddy: "But what if you are not happy?"
Regina: "Goo-Goo-GHA-GHA" (Translation): "Well, make sure others know about it, do whatever you need: speak, write, or draw to express your feelings. For me, I just cry or yell as loud as I can to let you know how I feel."

Pay attention

Daddy: "How come you are so smart for your age?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "By paying attention: being able to see, hear, and feel everything the world has to offer is a gift from God. You have to be able to pay attention to enjoy such a gift.
The fresh air I breathe, the warm milk I drink, the soothing sound of a loving mother, they all have a purpose and I have to pay attention to appreciate and enjoy it."

Express yourself as much as you can

Daddy: "How do you keep your positive attitude and good health all the time?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Express yourself as much as you can. When I am happy, I laugh and giggle. When I am unhappy, I make sure everyone knows about it: if my diaper is dirty, I cry so loudly so that everyone will run to me. I don't have time to call or e-mail for things like that, you know? Everything concerning me is an emergency."

Know what you want and go for it
Daddy: "What advice can you give to other young people in the world?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Know what you want and go for it. When I want someone to hold me, I reach for them. I don't care whose arm I am going to receive. If I want milk I reach out and grab that bottle like it is the last bottle on Earth.
But sometimes doing this can hurt. The other day I tried so hard to grab my brother's camcorder that I almost fell out of your arms. I didn't get it, but I tried! I never see that thing around me anymore, but I will get it someday! I always get what I want because I know what I want."

Learn to control yourself

Daddy: "How can you keep so focused and balanced?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Learn to control yourself. Your body and your mind are the biggest assets that you have; you have to develop them as much as you need to protect them. Use what you have and be in total control of it. I just learned to hold the milk bottle with my own two hands. I can almost feed myself! I will be moving out before you know it… "

Love the people you know and smile to the people you don't

Daddy: "How do you make everyone fall in love with you? Is it because you are so adorable?
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "That is a part of it, but you must also love the people you know and smile to the people you don't. I love the people that care for me: I'll give twice as many kisses and hugs than I receive. It is simple, you have to give twice as much love as you receive, and that is how we can fill this world with it. As for the people I don't know I give them a big smile and they will become my friend. Being beautiful helps too, but that is beside the point."

Appreciated the little things in life

Daddy: "How do you make your family's life so enjoyable?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Appreciation. I love when everyone makes all kinds of funny faces to try to make me laugh, sometimes they are not funny but I laugh anyways. Sometimes it is what they don't do for me that is important. Sometimes they won't give me what I want because they know that it is not good for me, or that I am not ready yet, so I wait. Being patient is important. I know I must wait until I am older. Or until no one is watching…"

Non-stop growing

Daddy: "What are your plans for the future?"
Regina: Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Non-stop growing. I will learn, see, taste, feel, and travel the world to become the person that I want to be.
And to be able to do that, I must develop my body, my mind, my knowledge, my skills; everything in my life must be fully developed. It is a time consuming task, but ultimately I will be happy. Growing is fun. Life is fun."

Break through every border

Daddy: "What do you have to say to the people that are not as lucky as you?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Break through everything that is holding you back. You have to keep reaching and growing until nothing can limit you. It took me 4 months to jump out of my stroller. 4 months! That took almost 80% of my life just to break through that thing. You don't hear me complaining.
It is not about how long it took or how hard you worked, it is about finally accomplishing it.
People are too scared about changing and trying new things."
Daddy: "Just like Toby trying to jump over the fence in the back yard right?"
Regina: "Goo?" (Translation): "Who's Toby?"
Daddy: "Our pet, Toby the dog."
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah." (Translation): "Oh that Toby. I didn't even know he was a dog. I always thought he was my hairy brother! Umm, by the way, what is a dog anyways?"

Learn something new every day

Daddy: "Do you have any last thoughts before I let you get back to your busy life?"
Regina: "Goo-goo-gah-gah!" (Translation): "Learn something new every day. For example, I just learned to roll over last week and wow! What a feeling that was! I discovered a whole new world this way. I can only imagine what I could see if I could walk around! And I just tried to eat my own feet yesterday. I am still trying to figure out how that skill can benefit me but it is good to know that I can do something like that. "

Finally, after a year and a half of hard work and headaches, Ninos' house is complete. We got to see first-hand what our boss' home looked like this Saturday evening. He invited all the partners and their families for a small, house warming dinner.

The house is absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. After all these years, Ninos and his family finally get to settle into their dream home.
I congratulate you, Ninos, for this wonderful achievement that makes us all proud.
The wonderful delicacies that Ninos' wife, Fadia, made were delicious. We got the royal treatment with a variety of appetizers, an exquisite main course, and an assortment of sweet desserts.

With charming music from every room and an elegant atmosphere in the dining room, it truly felt great to share the moment with the friends and families we love.
This evening was positively perfect.

Thank you to Ninos, Fadia, and everyone there; WE will forever remember this night.

what is the driving force behind the market

stay put or go for the kill?

What is the driving force behind the market? And I mean any market, from stocks to real estate.
Interest rates? Inflation? Money supply? You can put in charge all the experts in the world to answer this question and you will indeed end up with many different answers.

However, I will try to make it simple for you, here.
In my book there are two major forces that will influence any market: Greed and fear.

People always have the desire to make more money and in return, people are deathly afraid of losing it. It is common sense to never have your personal emotions involved when it comes to investments, but unfortunately most investors are either influenced or controlled by their emotions.

And in return, the best way to control peoples' emotions is through the mass media.
So much information is flowing through the television, radio, internet, and even cell phones; there is so much information being transmitted that it is impossible for us to process everything and make intelligent decisions on the matters that are really important. We live in an era where it is important to be independent, but also equally important to be able to co-exist with others within our society.
We eat the food cooked by chefs; we drive the cars built by engineers, etc… We also learn what many like to call the "news" that is reported to us by newscasters. However, many do not realize that the news that gets reported is controlled by "gatekeepers" that choose what the public gets to be informed of. We start to become the follower, like sheep being herded by dogs and cowboys. We eat what is given to us and we surrender our wool in return.

This can lead to dangerous situations if you are making your financial decision based on the pre-determined information or partial facts that we call the "news." In reality, the news is controlled and paid for by the advertisements of large companies that do not care about what you see, as long as they make a profit.
That is why we hear something different everyday: one day we hear that the market is at rock bottom and cannot get any worse, making you think that the market has only one way to go: up. This causes many investors to buy, buy, and buy. The next day, another "expert" will come out with charts and statistics and say that the time of recovery is a long way away, causing investors to sell, sell, sell.
Ultimately, the bankers and brokerage companies can make a profit from our reactions by controlling the information that they want us to know.

All this conflicted information is meant to stir up the emotions of greed or fear from you, the investor, and this will ultimately influence your decisions in a way that will benefit the big companies.

Now, I want to share with you the weapons that can defect them: the emotion called LOVE. You must love the family you support, the friends that are always there, and the job that you must complete. They are the reasons you wake up every morning and go to work.
For that love, you do whatever you have to, to succeed and hopefully learn how to make the best choices for the family that you LOVE so much.

You can be spontaneous or careful, you can either take action or inaction, you can buy, sell or trade, all because you love the happiness and comfort that the right decisions will bring—not because of the greed or fear that you felt.

And you can deal with people that have the same kind of LOVE toward the things they do and the people they care about: their family and their clients—you. That is what we do and what we have always believed in, here at Investar Capital Group.

And we would like to have the opportunity to show you how much love we have to share.

My thoughts on the market today and solutions for the future. JUNE -2007

Bad news can be seen on television and read in the newspaper everyday: the stock market fluctuates up and down, gasoline prices are out of control, interest rates are rising every week and the real estate market continues going downhill.

Now, just as it was before, we still must get dressed and go to work; life must go on.

However, we should work harder, play less and spend wisely.

If the cost of business increases by 10%, instead of raising prices and ultimately driving yourself out of business, you need to find alternative methods to offset the extra costs. For example, you can: cut costs by 10% or increase gross sales by 10%, by working 10 % longer, driving 10% further, making 10% more phone calls, or knocking on 10% more doors.

And when it comes to investments, there is no down time for you, the investor. Whatever you have your money invested in; it should always be working for you : rain or shine, day or night. Instead of working for your money, let your money work for you. The dollar can be the best employee you will ever have.

However, the difference is that money has no skill or experience. You are the master of your money, as you are the master of your life. Using your knowledge to make an intelligent decision and sending your money to the right place at the right time will yield seemingly endless growth. Naturally, on the other hand, if you make the wrong call then you will ultimately end up with much less than what you started out with.

The question is not: "When will the market be back?" This is as futile as asking when it will rain in the desert when you are thirsty.
The right questions are:
"Where is the water?"
"How can we find the water?"
"How can we survive the searing sun the high temperatures?"

If you have a considerable amount of cash, and you are simply holding on to it, without investing it, you will never make a profit. You are just inactively sitting on your money, thinking that you are safe. Ultimately, when the next boom arrives, you will end up watching your money shrink until it is completely gone.

If you have more than two houses and you cannot rent them out or make payments on them, I strongly urge you to cut your losses and go. Sell them before they end up costing you more than you expect, forcing you into a deep debt.

If you hold a job with a steady income, the key word is to diversify. Keep investing if you already have a house and some additional cash: it will be a smart move to purchase some land as a long term investment.

Conclusively, the best thing you can do is to speak with us, as friends, and let us help you decide on the best financial strategy during hard times like these.
