Average of 5

You become an average of 5 people you spend your time with.

21 Days Strategy

Ben Franklyn’s gave to the world the 21 days miracle formula. If you think of yourself as a loving and a worthy person for 21 days non-stop then you begin to feel and act like one; if you complain and whine on an on-going basis then you become a negative person; if you think of your goals on a continuous basis, you begin to make steady progress to achieve them. It may sound too simple to be true but it works. The deal is 21 days continuously, if you miss a day, then try for 21 days all over again.
