In order to be successful you have to be "Unrealistic"

Michael Jordan was "CUT" from his high school basketball team., and he told his parents he would play pro ball. was that realistic? NO. What about Henry Ford? He went bankrupt 5 times and then founded Ford Motor company..was that realistic? NO. What about Thomas Edison who believed there could be electricity. was that realistic? NO. He took 10,000 times to refine the lightbulb. What if he gave up on 9,999 time? Everyone has the potential to be GREAT!

$5 a month turns to $60 a year.

As many of you have heard, the rumors are true about some banks charging $5 a month for using a debit card. Bank of America seems to be thr first implementing this transaction. The article is listed below:


NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Get ready for a new wave of bank fees. Bank of America will begin charging a $5 monthly fee at the beginning of next year for customers who make debit card purchases.
Whether you use your card for one purchase a month or 20, you will pay $5 per month starting in 2012. It doesn't matter if you select "debit" or "credit" at the point of sale.
If you don't use your card at all, you won't be assessed a fee, and you can still use ATMs as much as you want without getting hit with the new charge. Plus, customers with certain premium accounts will be exempt from the charge.
Other banks have been flirting with the idea of introducing a fee for debit card usage, but Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) is one of the first major institutions to announce that it will make this a reality for active debit card customers.

Impossible is Nothing!!!
