The 7,000-Car Secret: Brunei’s Lost Automotive Empire By Titan007

-

 There are car collections… and then there is Brunei. Hidden behind locked gates near the tropical coastline of Southeast Asia sits what may be the most excessive, controversial, and tragic automotive collection ever assembled. Not a museum. Not a curated gallery. But thousands upon thousands of cars—many never driven, some never seen by the public, and a shocking number built specifically for one family that treated the world’s greatest manufacturers like private artisans. This is the story of power, money, obsession—and decay. The Collectors Behind the Curtain At the center of this saga are two men: Prince Jefri Bolkiah , the former Finance Minister of Brunei, and his brother, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah , one of the longest-ruling monarchs in the world. During the oil-fueled boom years, Brunei was drowning in wealth. And Prince Jefri spent it like no one else on Earth. Private jets. Palaces. Art. Yachts. And above all—cars. By the mid-1990s, Prince Jefri had quietly amassed an estim...

 FIFA World Cup Maybe no other athletic event in history has ever generated as much enthusiasm and emotion. Although there are predictions about which teams will advance before and throughout the competition, as it goes on, its surprising results consistently astound the globe. The competition this year was no different. I was impressed by what these soccer games may teach us about success - in whatever undertakings we pursue - when I watched the recent World Cup and became engrossed in the excitement of the game. The six lessons I learned are listed below. Successful teamwork is necessary Unquestionably one of the finest soccer players in the world, Argentina's Lionel Messi was crucial to the success of his side. To move on to the quarterfinals, Argentina needed to win their game. On the other hand, France benefited from the players' combined abilities, which helped the squad win the title. In the business sector, putting all the responsibility for a project's success on o...

Awaken the Leader Within by Bill Perkins

  Leadership, according to former US president Dwight D. Eisenhower, is the ability to persuade someone else to act out of his motivation.You are buying into two facts if you adopt this definition of leadership, which happens to be my favorite. The first reality is that you are a leader. Everyone in the audience raised their hands and nodded their heads when I asked them a very simple question: Have you ever been in a situation at work or at home where you tried to get someone else to do something immediately? Usually, when I make that observation during business seminars, I'm met with looks of disbelief. According to Eisenhower's definition, the moment you make an effort to influence another person, you become a leader. Given the correctness of the concept, the problem isn't whether you're a leader; it's how you can lead more successfully. The answer to that question reveals a second fact arising from Eisenhower's definition: leaders are created, not born. Ther...

THE PROCESS OF ATTACHMENT IS A LIFELONG ONE

-
 Humans require each other, thus we want intimacy from the start, so to speak, from the minute we enter the world. And it is at this point that our attachment style emerges, which may have a catastrophic impact on all of our relationships, even those we have later in life."At this moment, attachment theory is acknowledged as one of the most fundamental and crucial ideas employed in most forms of psychotherapy."Integrative psychotherapy is equally important among them." What exactly is attachment? Attachment theory was developed by John Bowlby. He studied how different animal species act in the presence and absence of their mother and based on his results, he developed a theory. He discovered, among other things, that the attachment system created during childhood is carried over into adulthood and influences how we behave, think, reacts, and establish links.. (e.g. attachment to significant others, thinking about yourself and others, the environment...). Attachment is th...
