It was as famous as the works of William Shakespeare and Harry Potter in a bygone age and forgotten for the past 60 years until now&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inspiring Story of Little Goody Two Shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of Little Goody Two Shoes, was one of the most famous, popular and influential children's/adults books of the eighteenth century. It was first published in 1765 and had an unparalleled status for over two hundred years. At long last, Point of Life publishing house has renewed, refreshed, revitalized and recreated the literature masterpiece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the inspirational pen of Michael Levy, the creative publication has been gracefully transformed, while at the same time keeping to the original text and meaning as much as possible. It is an updated, encouraging book that is required inspiring reading for all children and adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From humble beginnings the little orphan girl teaches children and adults to learn to read and write with wisdom. The inspirational tale follows Little Goody Two Shoes on many adventures that challenge her sanity and survival. In the second part of the story, as an adult Miss Margery, becomes headmistress of the ABC College of education. She also teaches adults how to stop quarreling and live a peaceful, wholesome life... She invents a three cornered "Pals Hat" (Peace and Love - Smile) that has thought provoking words written on each side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hat helps people become aware of the differences in their opinions ... It conveys messages to them that allows time to stop and think about how they can meet each other in the middle of their opinions, so that together they can embrace peace and harmony.&lt;br /&gt;The new edition has been restored and revitalized to its rightful place as one of the best children's books of all time and is sure to become a best seller for the next two hundred years and beyond.Book Details&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Inspiring Story of Little Goody Two ShoesPublisher: Point of Life Inc.ISBN Numbers 978-0-9668069-9-1Publication date 07/04/07                  Number of Pages 139Paperback 6x 9 Price $12.95Distributors:Ingram'sBaker and Taylor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point of Life Inc.PO Box 7,3032 East Commercial Blvd.Fort LauderdaleFlorida 33308USAEmail:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="mailto:mikmikl@aol.com" href="mailto:mikmikl@aol.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;mikmikl@aol.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;Web site: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.pointoflife.com/" href="http://www.pointoflife.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;http://www.pointoflife.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Levy is the author of eight inspirational books.

People should realize there is no shortage of oil anywhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the USA stocks of oil are plentiful, near their highest level.  Neither China nor India are using enough oil to cause a shortage. World demand for oil is not driving up the price, so what is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran is the main reason the oil price is trading high. However, it seems it is the intent of the Iranian leader to drive the price of oil to $100 a barrel. What better way than telling the world they are going to build nuclear power plants. Israel has declared they will not allow that to happen, so there is no risk of an Iranian nuclear weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel will bomb Iranian  nuclear power plants if they continue their inept rhetoric.  Since the leaders of Iran know that, it appears they are playing a bluffing game, as did Saddam Hussein, with his so-called weapons of mass destruction, which he never really had. He skillfully implied information into the system that was not true, but that backed-fired on him because Mr. Bush called his bluff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important point to note is Iran needs the revenue from oil to finance their counties requirement, so there is little chance of them cutting supplies for any extended period of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the western world chooses to help the leader of Iran gets his wish with $100 a barrel oil then they will keep allowing the speculators to dictate the price that is traded on the oil exchanges. The more the media oil "experts" focus on $100 mark, the closer it get to becoming a reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sky-high price when supply is plentiful goes against every economic law of supply and demand. It seems a plan of diabolical cleverness, from of a few powerful, scheming people, are using peoples speculative greed and fear psyche, as a weapon against America, in the same way they used USA aircraft to blow up the Trade center on 9/11...It seems to be working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A panic driven mentality will hold the world at ransom with high oil prices until common sense returns to the mercantile futures exchange.  A few greedy speculators will profit from everyone else's distress and the Iranian leaders will be laughing all the way their oil platforms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say you can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time....I guess its time to stop fooling around and wise up to the fiendish plot of leaders who want to harm the Western economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to defeat this enemy is to get the price of oil back to fair value of $35.00 a barrel.

type='text'>Eternal Triumph</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;There is an ancient Greek tale of a man named Sisyphus. He was a playful trickster who played his pranks on everyone, including the gods. One day he fooled the god of death and locked him in a cupboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the death god was not too pleased and when he eventually was released by other gods, he condemned Sisyphus to an eternity of rolling a large, heavy boulder up a mountain. When he reached the top, the boulder would not rest and it rolled all the way down the mountain side to the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This then was his eternal tormented load to bear, or so it would seem. But, there is another way of looking at this story. Once Sisyphus got to the top he had a long time to enjoy himself as he made his way back down to the bottom. He would have a great view on the mountain top and could savor all the magnificent scenery and wild flowers on the way down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he started his task over and over again, he could think what a great workout he's been given and how it will help him keep fit and healthy. He could break out into song and sing... ‘Oh! what a beautiful morning,' as he takes deep breaths whilst gritting his teeth to push the rock up to the summit. He could observe the beauty in each vein of the rock and feel its sensational texture. He would have all the time in the outer-world to understand the rock and he are one and the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He could instruct his mind to believe the rock was actually pulling him up the mountain and it was he who was resisting the rocks power. He could play a game of push and pull. He could be thankful for the great strength the gods had given him so he is able to continue his labor of love and fun. He could blow them kisses and make up jokes for them, so that their mockery and laughter will focus on the jokes ... which may be, forever, on them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have our rocks to push up mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether it be our stock market portfolio boulder that seems to be rising nicely ... then crash...it is at the bottom again. Perhaps a person becomes a writer, artist, teacher or shop assistant, etc., and feels life is unfair ... that other people are not grateful for their contributions and efforts they continue to roll out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe mothers and fathers feel their children are not thankful for all their loving kindness and visa versa from the children's perspective. So many situations in life where a person feels as though they are given seemingly hard tasks to endure...they think their lot in life is not a happy one.... It only comprises of more and more hard toil, ridicule, complains and mockery as their rewards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we turn the tables on the way we view our efforts and enjoy our tasks no matter how taxing and difficult they appear to be, we may find they are not that demanding and formidable at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secret lies in not letting other people or false gods, take away our joy of living, no matter what labors we have to implement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think you get the gist...... So here is your question to ponder........ When your life on earth is nearing its end and you look back on each event, do you want it to be recorded as A Tale of Woe or A Story of Joy......Always remember.......It's your rock...your mountain ... and your freedom of thought can make all the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bio sketch MICHAEL LEVY.Michael levy was born in Manchester, England on the 6th March 1945.After many life experiences and a successful business career he retired to Florida in 1992.In 1998 Michael established Point of Life, Inc., as a vehicle to project his philosophy and spiritual understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The website &lt;a href="http://www.pointoflife.com/"&gt;http://www.pointoflife.com/&lt;/a&gt; and the associated newsletter (Point Of Life Global Newsletter) are visited and read by thousands of people around the world every month.
