Maybe it's neither. Most people believe that what they think, how they feel, and what they do are a function of their place in the word – the cards they were dealt, and they must play them. The truth is that it works the other way around. The conditions in your life are a result of how you manage it. Someone said, "When you change, the world around you changes." It's all about your personal mindset. So, are you ready to let go of the beliefs that are holding you back?

Barkindo    Although Africa has been an oil-market force for decades, it has lagged on natural-gas development, Ayuk points out. This needs to change, he says. While more gas exports would boost the continent's economy, the main reason he wants to see a gas-development boomis that gas would ease the continent's power shortages until renewables inevitably take over.       The power shortages that gas could help fix have been battering Africa's economy for decades, Ayuk laments.

I thought it authors were getting wise but this scam and similar ones are getting worse if only because of the new twists on old cons.

My friend says, “I feel bad for new writers who fall for this trap of paying her upfront fees.” This agent also added another wrinkle ...
