2) To know what you want and to strive to accomplish and achieve your goals, an achievement ladder enthusiast needs to be self-motivated.

IDES OF JUNE, 2009, ACHIEVEMENT LADDER SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD
Congratulations to all of the Dads throughout our Country who really understand the responsibilities of being not only a Father to their children, but also, a loving Daddy to their children. With some many challenges to raise children in an atmosphere of hostility, apathy, indifference, and selfishness, there are many Dads who really want to create a learning environment that is conducive to positive Ladder of Achievement successes. Many Dads make a difference in their families and even in broken families by their total dedication and determination to be open to the needs and wants of their children. These Dads avoid walking away from the total demands of parenthood by their unselfish and caring attitudes that marks the difference between being only a Father in name only or being a Daddy in actual practice. These Dads earn the respect of their children because they really seek the best interests for their children in a holistic intelligent achievement level.
To encourage more Fathers to become actively involved with the lives of their children, there are many support groups that provide ongoing positive training and avenues of positive discipline that will enhance the growth and the development of their children into adulthood. One such group is called "Fathers For Good, and their website is www.fathersforgood.org. As a Dad, you may find some inspiration from other Dads who are still learning and are willing to learn what will be best for their children. As a role model for children, Dads are often misunderstood by the extremists, by the media, by bureacratic agencies, and by groups that want to eliminate the need for a Dad in a family setting. Many Moms are extremely happy to have a Dad who accepts fully the responsibilities of fatherhood and the demands of parenthood in complementing their spouse.
There are many men who have negative attitudes toward women because of multiple tugs and pulls from their negative environments and extremist cultures.
To replace these negative attitudes with positive attitudes, takes time and a willingness to change to a more open positive relationship with women even with extremist women who have a negative agenda. Understanding is the beginning of wisdom, and effective communication is attained by a positive understanding between different points of views. To gain a step up the Ladder of Achievement with gender differences, one must understand and be willing to actively listen to the positive emotions that are sincerely expressed in an open dialogue. Making progress requires a give and a take on both sides to fully enhance the value, the dignity, and the sacredness of human beings in general.
"Woman was made from the rib of man. She was not created from his head to top him nor from his feet to be stepped upon. She was made from his side to be EQUAL TO HIM...from beneath his arm to be protected by him and near his heart to be loved by him." The Heavenly Father, the " Daddy" of the entire Universe, wants His creation to be in His image and likeness. However, the Divine Creator gave each human being, man and woman, the will to CHOOSE. Hopefully, the Choices will be in line with the Will of the Creator who desires the BEST for His Creation and His Creatures. If a man has self-respect, he will NEVER belittle a woman in any shape or form. Domestic violence practices by a man on a woman will NEVER solve the disrespect that a man has for himself. Self-respect will honor the dignity, the sacredness, and the beauty of a person toward another person. Showing respect will also be the BEST EXAMPLE that children will witness as they grow into adulthood. "Love one another as I have loved you."
Congratulations to all the Ides of June, 2009, recipients: DADS WHO LIVE UP TO THEIR REPUTATION OF BEING A GOOD DAD toward their beautiful children. Take a hint from the Heavenly Dad who really gives unconditional love to all of His children...to each one of us as we strive to climb the Ladder of Achievement in an atmosphere of a positive environment conducive to positive learning.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE VERSUS UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
To all Ladder of Achievement survivors, enthusiasts, and novices, remember that to achieve the mission, the goals, the objectives, and the ultimate purposes for your very existence, your internal focus has to be an unconditional love for the people who make your existence possible especially your Ultimate Creator. To ignore the collaborators of your human existence, you will be remiss in understanding WHO YOU ARE AND WHY YOU EXIST.
Your Ideal is to be the best of WHO YOU ARE with your time, your talents, and
your treasures that are uniquely yours. There are many persons who have the aptitudes of a "thimble;" but if their achievements exceed their "thimble capacity," they are considered over-achievers. There are some persons who have the aptitudes of an "eight-ounce glass," but their attitude in using their aptitudes is "half-full." And, there are a select few whose aptitudes are a "gallon-jug," but their apathetic attitude affects the altitude they are capable of achieving with their "gallon-job" superb aptitudes. To will to do the best with what we have received means an unconditional attitude and love for the achievement level that more than excels their special uniqueness. Unconditional love means giving without any thought of return or looking for any earthly compensations. To provide services with the unique talents that each of us has been given demands an unconditional love to make a return on the investment of time, talent, and treasures of some many special people in our lives. To lay down our lives for the sake of others means a daily giving of ourselves to the service of others without any strings attached.
Unconditional surrender often entails compromising absolute principles for the sake of comfort, selfishness, greed, and self-complacency. Giving in to the wiles of the world, the flesh, and the demonic enticements means living a lie and living a life of hypocrisy that eventually destroys our uniqueness as a human being. How many persons are brainwashed everyday through the depth approach of the marketing empires? How many persons are engulfed in spending beyond their means and losing all of their earthly possessions because they believed in the lies perpetrated by masters of deceit? How many persons have grown lax in their personal, holistic growth because of their apathy, indifference, and their selfishness that destroys their very human existence? Secular, humanistic allurements often deceive even the most wealthy, the most intelligent, and the most susceptible to lusty enticements that weakens even the strong personality and the spiritually endowed. Unconditional surrender means losing all of your talents, your time, and your treasures to worthless enterprises and hopeless dreams. If the prospect seems to be too good to be true, it is too good to be true!
To all Achievement Ladder Challengers, you are encouraged to grow in your unconditional love for yourself, for your neighbor, and for your Ultimate Creator. The Un-caused Cause of this Universe has already given each of us human life at our conception with the opportunity to grow as a fully developed human being in collaboration with our parents. Our parents offered us unconditional love through our growing years if they were in tune with the Creator of the Universe and if they respected themselves and their children during the challenges of our human development. Even after we matured to adulthood, our parents continued to show their positive concerns and their unconditional love for their children by encouraging them in all of their efforts.
Remember to thank your parents for giving you the opportunity to learn by your mistakes, to learn that our time, our talents, and our treasures are most effectively and efficiently used for unconditional love of their children and their grandchildren. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the gifts of LIFE AND LOVE it is great to be alive! Thank you for giving us the lifelong lessons to achieve daily as we now climb up and down the Ladder of Achievement with LOVE!

ACHIEVEMENT LADDER PROGRESSION ENCOURAGES ACTIVE LISTENING AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FROM ENTHUSIASTS
To observe the progress that Ladder of Achievement Enthusiasts establish, you may want to reflect on their self-motivation, their self-awareness, and their positive persistence as they grow in their active listening techniques and their unconditional love emphasis. For all of the communication tools that are available for the person to use throughout their lifetime, effective and active listening are the most demanding and the most neglected instruments of efficient communication progression. In addition, unless there is a passion for growth through desire, dedication, determination, discipline, diplomacy, discernment, and depthness, the willing life participant needs to discover the holistic aspects of unconditional love. This unselfish love requires reflective and willful action that asks for nothing in return for services rendered. There are no strings attached for acts of love by these individuals who seek the best for their beloved.
Achievement Ladder enthusiasts are strongly encouraged to renew and to rediscover the meanings of active listening and the powers of unconditional love. For active listening to be worthy of attention, paraphrasing and empathy are the key components of this special skill. In addition, active listening means to remove all distractions that may in any way impair a sound reception of what the encoder (sender) to the decoder (receiver) in every communication exercise. Also, the barriers of effective and efficient communication need to be recognized and understood to avoid any confusion that barriers are meant to bring to the listener. These barriers include language, age, sex, experience, ideology, status, cultural differences, economic and political philosophies, religious differences, customs, traditions, disabilities, environments, geography, psychological challenges, and many other barriers that affect the holistic intelligence of the receiver. There is no communication unless there is a clear understanding. Active listening is assertive rather than aggressive. Active listening is positive rather than negative. To our knowledge, we are all asked to LISTEN but we seldom have actual formal training in active listening. We are expected to actively listen in any given day at least 70 percent of the time. No wonder there is so much confusion on the part of those who think they HEARD something but really avoided LISTENING to what was presented in any given situation.
To understand unconditional LOVE, we need to find examples of exemplary love shown by individuals for other individuals in times of crisis as well as in everyday challenges. To lay down one's life for another is one of the criteria for identifying UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. A Mother's Love is unconditional when she gives of herself to protect the life of her child, unborn and born, in bringing about new life, a unique human being. Also, a Father's Love is unconditional when he respects totally the woman who gives herself to bringing about new human life through marriage commitment. Anyone can be a Father, but it takes a special someone to be a DADDY. In a working mutual relationship that demands respect on both persons in a marriage relationship, children are raised through the unconditional love of each parent toward their children. The uniqueness of each human being through the three-fold collaboration of mother, father, and Creator elicits a loving relationship that is unconditional and worthy of honor and dignity. The sacredness of each human life is brought about by the unconditional love of the couple in a marriage relationship, and the generations that follow are reminded of that unconditional love by the loving family that these responses deliver. Family love expands toward all the community where love may be made manifest through the ordinary love actions rather than the heroic or extraordinary actions on given time frames. During the ordinary actions of each day in an extraordinary way demands unconditional love if completed with the proper positive attitude.
Yes, there is a connection between Active Listening and Unconditional Love in aspiring after greatness in any human encounter. These special gifts ignite a contagious enthusiasm for those who make progression in their daily growth and development in achieving the goals of the Ladder of Achievement. Going from negative to positive, from "I won't listen, I won't love" to "I learned to actively listen, I learned to unconditionally love" is a tremendous accomplishment that impacts all that hope to achieve in our daily challenges and in growing in our holistic intelligences up and up the Achievement Ladder Challenges of Life.

ACHIEVEMENT LADDER SUCCESS WITH LISTEN, LISTEN, LOVE, LOVE
For many individuals who are climbing their spiral, vertical, or horizontal Ladder of Achievement to obtain their goals, the challenges are surmontable when you employ effective and efficient communication skills. Networking, partnering, and collaborating requires the maximum utilization of time, talents, and treasures to achieve the maximum rate of return on any investment whether tangible or intangible. To progress from a negative response of "I won't do this or we won't do this" to a positive "I did it or we did it" emphasizes the use of understanding that is the end result of all effective communications. To cut through the maze of barriers to effective communications means to be aware of the receiver on the part of the sender. This usually gives a communication feedback that enhances knowledge.
The four L's of Listen, Listen, Love, Love are components in any attempt to bridge the gap that often prevents well-intentioned communications from any breakdown on the part of the intended audience. To Listen with the Head is the first step to reach the mind that may be cluttered with all types of distractions, opinions, beliefs, and cultural differences. If we succeed with the Listening with the Head, the next step is to pursue the Listening with the Heart. In our Holistic approach to human understanding, we must encounter the multiple positive and negative emotions that will determine the reception of the message given. Love is multidimensional with subhuman, animal, human, and divine aspects. If you give an entire auditorium of persons an opportunity to express their definition of love, you will receive as many definitions as there are persons in the audience. Love means to will the best for the other person that is to their benefit may be one response. Love is giving rather than taking. Love makes the world go around. However, some persons equate love with liking. We may avoid liking what a person does, but we certainly love the person doing the actions.
The Heart brings about the love that we want to attract a love from an academic point of view. To understand all of the variances of love from an intellectual framework one can identify what level of love needs to respond. The last component of the four L's is to Love with the Heart rather than the Head. The level of Love that we are attempting to understand is all that means the most to the persons involved. Some use "puppy love" are their way of response. Some use "human love" as their response with affection and admiration. Some use "divine love" as the ultimate of their adventure to discovering their mission with LISTEN, LISTEN, LOVE, LOVE. Where is your Ladder of Achievement with regard to the four L's in your quest for the ultimate goal in your life?
