Alphabet of Happiness...
Alphabet of Happiness...
A--Accept
B--Break
AwayBreak away from everything that stands in the way of what you hope to accomplish with your life.
C--Create
Create a family of friends whom you can share your hopes, dreams, sorrows, and happiness with.
D--Decide
Decide that you'll be successful and happy come what may, and good things will find you. The roadblocks are only minor obstacles along the way.
E--Explore
Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you try something new, you'll learn more about yourself.
F--Forgive
Forgive and forget. Grudges only weigh you down and inspire unhappiness and grief. Soar above it, and remember that everyone makes mistakes.
G--Grow
Leave the childhood monsters behind. They can no longer hurt you or stand in your way.
H--Hope
Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.
I--Ignore
Ignore the negative voice inside your head. Focus instead on your goals and remember your accomplishments. Your past success is only a small inkling of what the future holds.
J--Journey
Journey to new worlds, new possibilities, by remaining open-minded. Try to learn something new every day, and you'll grow.
K--Know
Know that no matter how bad things seem, they'll always get better. The warmth of spring always follows the harshest winter.
L--Love
Let love fill your heart instead of hate. When hate is in your heart, there's room for nothing else, but when love is in your heart, there's room for endless happiness.
M--Manage
Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you'll suffer less stress and worry. Then you'll be able to focus on the important things in life.
N--Notice
Never ignore the poor, infirm, helpless, weak, or suffering. Offer your assistance when possible, and always your kindness and understanding.
O--Open
Open your eyes and take in all the beauty around you. Even during the worst of times, there's still much to be thankful for.
P--Play
Never forget to have fun along the way. Success means nothing without happiness.
Q--Question
Ask many questions, because you're here to learn.
R--Relax
Refuse to let worry and stress rule your life, and remember that things always have a way of working out in the end.
S--Share
Share your talent, skills, knowledge, and time with others. Everything that you invest in others will return to you many times over.
T--Try
Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach, try anyway. You'll be amazed by what you can accomplish.
U--Use
Use your gifts to your best ability. Talent that's wasted has no value. Talent that's used will bring unexpected rewards.
V--Value
Value the friends and family members who've supported and encouraged you, and be there for them as well.
W--Work
Work hard every day to be the best person you can be, but never feel guilty if you fall short of your goals. Every sunrise offers a second chance.
X--X-Ray
Look deep inside the hearts of those around you and you'll see the goodness and beauty within.
Y--Yield
Yield to commitment. If you stay on track and remain dedicated, you'll find success at the end of the road.
Z--Zoom
Zoom to a happy place when bad memories or sorrow rears its ugly head. Let nothing interfere with your goals. Instead, focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.

Ailing Smart Telecom on brink of collapse as Eircom cuts services to 45,000 customers By Finfacts TeamOct 3, 2006, 06:41
On Thursday the 4th of May, Microsoft awarded Smart Telecom the ICT Company of the Year 2006. This was awarded to Smart Telecom for excellence in marketing, implementing and supporting ICT solutions. - - Taoiseach Bertie Ahern (r) presenting the award to former CEO Oisin FanningMore than 45,000 of Smart Telecom's customers had their phone service switched off Monday evening.
Eircom, which operates the network used by Smart, cut the service of its ailing rival.
Ireland's top telco said that Smart owes it several million euros for the use of the network and that it is not confident that the money will ever be paid.
Smart lost €36m in the first half of 2006 as its extensive promotional campaigns failed to generate enough new revenue.
Last February, Smart Telecom was dealt a body blow when the communications regulator ComReg withdrew the offer of the country's fourth 3G licence, awarded last November.
In a statement, ComReg had said that it believed the company had failed to meet certain conditions of its original offer. It said accordingly, that it no longer intended to award the licence to Smart.
It is understood that Eircom switch-off on Monday of all of Smart's ordinary customers was planned for 5 pm but technical difficulties meant the move was delayed until 6.30pm. It is also understood that Eircom met with Comreg, the communications regulator, to advise it of its plans.
In order to avail of Eircom's network, Smart had to lodge a multi-million-euro bond which Eircom can call on in the event that the smaller telephone company failed to pay its bill. It is understood that Smart's level of indebtedness to Eircom runs to millions of euro above this bond.
The move will affect 45,000 Smart customers who have an ordinary telephone service. Smart's 16,000 broadband customers have not been affected. This is because Eircom has to physically disconnect these customers from its exchanges.
This process will take some weeks, after which these customers may also be disconnected.
Smart shares are traded on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in London. Yesterday they were trading at stg2.5p, having plunged from 27p earlier in the year.
The customers who were cut off last night will still hear a dialling tone, which is known as a soft dialling tone.
This means that they will still be able to receive calls and will be able to make emergency (999) calls.
As the owner of the principal telephone network and a seller of services, Eircom is both a wholesaler and a retailer.
Under the rules by which the market operates, Eircom's wholesale unit cannot advise its own retail arm of the mass disconnection.
This rule, which is meant to prevent Eircom from taking advantage of its dominant position to compete unfairly with other companies, also inhibits its ability to facilitate Smart customers with an immediate alternative service.
Last month Smart announced that its chief executive, Oisin Fanning, was stepping down and that it was reviewing all of its business areas.
It announced last month that it would reduce its head count from by 180 to 100 staff, within a three-month period..
Last November, Smart Telecom said it had raised €44.4 million and planned to convert a further €10.8 million of debt after issuing 186.7 million new shares. The telecoms company said the proceeds from the shares issue will help it win more broadband customers. Under the issue, Oisin Fanning, then chief executive, and Brendan Murtagh, director were to double their stakes in the company. Alan Murtagh and Fergal Murtagh also joined the Smart Telecom board.
Brendan Murtagh of the Kingspan building materials group, has a 20 percent stake in Smart.
