5 Important Lessons..
Most Important Lesson
During my second month of college our professor gave us a pop quiz.
I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until
I read the last one:
"What is ! the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several
times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's but how would I know her
name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would
count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many
people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care even if
all you do is smile and say 'hello'."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2 - Second Important Lesson
Pickup in the Rain - One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure the
lashing rainstorm.
Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those
conflict-filled 1960s.
The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a
taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and
thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise,a
giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was
attached.
It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other
night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you
came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's
bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and
unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson
Always remember those who serve - In the days when an ice cream sundae
cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a
table.
A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in
it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing
impatient. "Thirty-five cents, she brusquely replied."
The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream,"
he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked
away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table.
.There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five
pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have
enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson
The Obstacle in Our Path - ! In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed
on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would
remove the huge rock.Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers
came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not
keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out
of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching
the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone
to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally
succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.
The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating
that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle
presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 -! Fifth Important Lesson
Giving When It Counts - Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz, who was suffering from a
rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a
blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously
survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies, needed to
combat the illness.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the
little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and
saying, "Yes, I'll do it, if it will save her."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and
smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks.
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor
and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, th! e little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he
was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save
her.You see, after all, understanding and attitude, is everything.

TWEN Reverse Merger News Yesterday Company Info Inside!
Currently a well-known, profitable and established regional firm, 2Energia (http://www.2Energia.com/) is on the verge of "going national" with its accounts and offices. While 2Energia is committed to growing it business through an aggressive re-investment of net revenues from new and existing contracts, we understand that the company is also aggressively and pro-actively searching out undervalued acquisition opportunities that would both compliment its existing business and significantly increase shareholder value.
A Closer Look
2Energia is a recognized leader in the areas of Information Technology services (basically, the business of keeping a company's entire computing environment alive and running well) for large and emerging growth companies and government agencies. 2Energia provides staffing and contract consulting services in the following specialty areas: Information Technology, Technical Services, Software / Programming / Training, and Call Center Services / "Help Desk" staffing.
Information Technology Companies Like 2Energia Are In High Demand
Outsourcing and consulting has become a huge and growing sector of our nation's economy. Although companies continue to lay off thousands of workers, their Information Technology (IT) requirements remain. The prevailing trend is to out-source all IT needs to companies like 2Energia.
IT consulting / services has become a multi-billion dollar business, employing millions of people on a contract (hourly / daily) basis. Major success stories (annual revenues > $1 billion) in the IT sector are Perot Systems (NYSE : PER) and Electronic Data Systems (NYSE : EDS).
Objective
The company's immediate objective is to secure a number of national contracts with a select group of Fortune 500 companies that collectively will boost annual revenues into the range of $25 to $50 million by the end of 2003. Net income will be re-invested for beta-testing of several computer security, data storage and educational software products that TWEN presently has under development.
Points To Consider
(1) This is an early-stage opportunity with excellent upside potential.
(2) TWEN's management team has a proven track record of rapidly-building profitable IT businesses.
(3) Today's "Letters to Shareholders" strongly suggests that TWEN is committed to pro-actively communicating information to its shareholders on a regular basis
(4) IT businesses are enjoying strong growth and profitability despite the current economic downturn.
(5) There are few publicly-traded IT companies - most are private, and until now, investors could only buy shares in the big global IT businesses like EDS.
Conclusion
2Energia serves a rapidly-growing, lucrative business niche (Information Technology services) that has been immune to the current economic downturn. The new management team's track record suggests that TWEN could grow rapidly, thus creating value for shareholders.
Keep TWEN On Your Radar Screens!!
Happy Trading!

New Truck
One day, Jimmy Joe was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy
Bubba driving a brand new pickup. Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin.
"Bubba, where'd you get that truck?!?"
"Bobby Sue gave it to me" Bubba replied.
"She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?"
"Well, Jimmy Joe, let me tell you what happened. We were driving out on
County Road 6, in the middle of nowhere. Bobby Sue pulled off the road,
put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the
truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said 'Bubba, take whatever
you want.
So I took the truck!"
"Bubba, you're a smart man!. Them clothes woulda never fit you.
