Can Gloria Hold On?

President Arroyo's website lists the sparkling achievements that paved the way to the Philippine presidency -- magna cum laude graduate, dean's list at Georgetown University, a masters and doctorate in economics.

But like the lonely class genius, Arroyo has still not worked out how to win acceptance from her deeply divided people.

Barely a year since winning her first electoral mandate, she is the most unpopular president since dictator Ferdinand Marcos was overthrown in 1986 and a rising drumbeat of scandals threatens to undermine her modest reform achievements.

"I offer my hand and I hope it will be taken with the same faith," Arroyo told the crowd at a windswept Manila park after her narrow election victory last year.

Hi DYAB

After reading a good blog I tend to analyze it to see what the person behind it might be like.

I've been in the goal setting business a while now and just like most people with experience in different areas of expertise, I can tell a lot about a person just by speaking to them or reading something they've written.

You haven't wrtten any goals on paper for awhile have you? And if you have I'll bet you haven't looked at them for a long time. Right?

Goal setting is hard work, and harder still if you don't have short range goals, mid range goals and long range goals.

I think you'll agree that few people really take the time to set goals of any kind.

When is the last time you really thought about setting some real goals, or are you like the vast majority of people who just "hope for the best"?

You already know successful people aren't "just lucky", they know how to set effective goals and reach them.

I was like that once, you might be also.

How about changing all that.

Come on over to goals+ and learn exactly how to set effective goals, act on them and be the real you.

There's a ton of FREE information and who knows, this little insert in your blog might well change your life!

Happy New Year!
