In addition, they will learn how to be better managers of their own emotions and improve their self-control.

Through this program, participants will learn skills and techniques to improve their performance in all areas of life. They will learn how to improve their relationships with friends and family, and build their confidence in school, business and social situations. They will discover how to improve thinking skills so they can learn more easily, how to set goals so they can make positive things happen in life, and how to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.

Participants will come to understand the importance of their attitudes and how both positive and negative attitudes shape a person�s self image. They will develop tools to help them utilize positive energy in their schools, family, business and social life. These tools will enable them to create a future of their dreams.*3

A compliment or encouragement is verbal sunshine. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make other person feel important. ---Mary Kay Ash
***** There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being---to help someone succeed. ---Alan Loy McGinnis
***** There are two things people want more than sex and money ...recognition and praise. ---Mary Kay Ash

It's our pleasure to post a short essay from "Speaker's Source Book II," by Glenn Van Ekeren:*2

Roger Ailes asks this penetrating question, " Do you bring other people up or down?" He continues, "This may be the most important question facing you in your career and life."*2
A natural follow-up would be, "How are you bringing other people up?" "What specific things do you do every day to show others their importance to you?"
One of the most difficult, yet meaningful actions we can take to encourage others is celebrate their success. Forty thousand fans were in attendance in the Oakland stadium when Rickey Henderson tied Lou Brock's career stolen base record. According to USA Today, Lou left baseball in 1979 but faithfully followed Henderson's prestigious career and was excited about his success. Realizing that Rickey would set a new record, Brock was quoted in USA Today as saying, "I'll be there. Do you think I'm going to miss it now? Rickey did 12 years what took me 19. He's amazing."
Imagine how Rickey Henderson felt knowing the person whose stolen base record he was about to break was excited about his achievements. Envy or jealousy might have been more natural feelings for Lou Brock but encouragers set self-interest aside and rejoice in the happiness of others.*3

The Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was established early in 2003. Drs. E. Lee Bernick and Keong Leong were appointed as Deans of the School by WBTI on March 11, 2003. "The mission of this School will emphasize the humanitarian orientation of public administration adn social responsibility of business management . Throuugh academic entrepreneurship, we may expect the endeavor of this school for the community service based on humane spirit, led by Chairperson Elaine Chao of WBTI," said Dr. Dina Titus, Professor of Administrative Strategies in GSBPA. Dina is a Senator of Nevada Senate and Adjunct Professor of Political Science of UNLV.*1

"Through the recommendation by our faculty members including District Judge Jessie Walsh and Clak County Sheriff Bill Young, Ms. Lynette Boggs McDonald has been appointed Adjunct Assistant Professor of the Graduate School of Business and Public Administration (GSBPA) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on October 21, 2004," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Friday, October 22, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"It's my great pleasure to accept the task, responsibility, and practice," said Lynette McDonald at the time when she was informed by President of WBTI Dr. Tony Lei for the appointment. "With the capacity on adjunct basis, it's good for me to develop my entrepreneurial spirit by utilizing both my advanced education in public adminstration and practical experience in managerial responsibilities at UNLV."

A self-described "Army brat," Boggs McDonald spent her childhood on American Army bases in Germany and Italy, and has lived in Las Vegas for the last 13 years. She is a business graduate of the University of Notre Dame, attended the University of Oregon Graduate School of Journalism and received a Master's of Public Administration degree from UNLV.*2

From 1994 to 1997 Lynette served as the Assistant City Manager for the City of Las Vegas. She was the first woman to lead a city council ward in the history of the city of Las Vegas, receiving 70 percent of the vote in Ward 2 during the 2001 election. In April of 2004 she was appointed by Governor Guinn to serve as County Commissioner in District F. Having served over the past decade in local government makes her uniquely prepared to deal with the challenges facing her district and our community.

As our County Commissioner, Lynette is working with community stakeholders to update neighborhood master plans so that responsible and predictable land-use decisions can be made. She negotiated a land exchange with the BLM and a local developer to preserve Red Rock Canyon. When a developer failed to keep his commitment to donate land for a new school, she blocked his building permits until he made good on that promise. Lynette will continue fighting to ensure developers live up to their agreements with Clark County residents, especially on the issue of identifying sites for schools, fire stations, police substations and parks.*3

Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald was appointed by President Bush to serve on a national commission related to international study programs.

Boggs McDonald, a Republican appointed to the County Commission in March, said she is "honored and humbled" to be one of four people chosen by Bush for the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program.*4

The commission will launch the new program, which is designed to expose Americans to international cultures, governments and economic systems, and which will probably work with the U.S. State Department.

"To encourage the cooperation and development of English and Chinese speaking countries with Nevada has been particularly important to our country at this critical period of time. The establishment of GSBPA will launch our effort that emphasizes the value of humane and administrative orientation. The creed of this School is both on the spirit of educational excellence and academic entrepreneurship. We're forecasting the smoth and efficient growth of this School together with the growth of the tourism industry and the economy of Nevada after the 911 and SARS," Dr. E. Lee Bernick, Dean of GSBPA, who is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Public Administration of UNLV, said at the Summer 2003 Symposium and Dinner Party. It was held by WBTI at the Zax Restaurant of Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino on May 19, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*5

Dreams are powerful reflections of our actual growth potential. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen. ---Richard de Vos
***** Nothing is as real as a dream. ..... ---Tom Clancy
***** YOur dreams can come true. I'm a living proof of it. ..... ---Michael Blake, Author of "Dance with Wolves"

It's our pleasure to post a short essay from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

In 1931, historian and Pulitzer prize winner James Truslow Adams coined the phrase "The American Dream" in a treatise called The Epic of America. Adams described the dream this way: "It is not a dream of moter cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."*2
This familiar phrase has often been invoked by writers, philosophers, and politicians to explain their own convictions. It has become a prevailing justification for individual dreams and pursuits. "There are those who will reply that freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream," said Archibald MacLeish. "They are right. It is. It is the American Dream."
Ray Kroc believed in the American Dream. While selling paper cupsto restaurants in 1920s, he worked his way up to becoming one of the company's top
salespeople. ....The "freedom of man and mind" is not a dream. It produce dreams. ......

David McClelland, the Harvard psychologist, has extensively studied high achievers. He has concluded that successful people possess one common characteristic: they fantasize and dream incessantly about how to achieve their goals. Taking that one step further, James Allen says, "Dreams are the seedlings of reality."
The American Dream is a seedling of reality waiting to be nurtured, fertilized, and harvested by those with the courage to pursue it.*3

"Nothing much happens without a dream. For something really great to happen, it takes a really great dream," said Robert Greenleaf.

Enthusiasm is important, especially very important to many things in our lives. We are pleased to quote the following three short but meaningful ones:

***** There is nothing greater than enthusiasm. ---Henry Moore
***** If you don't have enthusiasm, you don't have anything. ---Kemmons Wilson, Sr.
***** Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm. ---Tom Peters

It's our pleasure to post a short story from "Speaker's Source Book II" by Glenn Van Ekeren:

The word enthusiasm comes from the Greek roots en and theos and means "God within." It is a fire, a passion within. Real enthusiasm is not something you "put on" and "take off " to fit the occasion. It is a way of life.
Apparently Theodore Roosevelt possessed that kind of passionate lifestyle. In 1883, according to Bernard Levin, writing in Enthusiasms (Crown Publishers), Roosevelt went buffalo hunting in the Badlands of South Dakota with a single companion, Joe Ferris. They nearly died of thirst, and they slept on the ground, saddles their only pillows. One night wolves caused their horses to bolt, and it took some time for the
fleeing beasts to be recaptured. The men went back to sleep; it began to rain heavily and they awoke, finding themselves lying in four inches of water. Shivering between sodden blankets, Ferris heard Teddy Roosevelt exclaim," By Godfrey, but this is fun!"
Now that's enthusiasm!*2

Chief Justice Bill Maupin names Dr. Tony Lei as a 'Son of Nevada'*1
By Cheryl Moss, Jessie Walsh, and Tiffany Chang

It is not unusual here in Nevada to have an individual who always gives herself or himself to the work both for the people and in Lord, because she or he knows that her or his labor for the people and in Lord is not in vain. Whenever we do, work at it with all our heart, as working for the Lord, not solely for men, since we know that we will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

"WHEREAS, it is an honor and privileg for the Board of County Commissioners to recognize those extraordinary individuals, groups, or programs which enrich the lives of many in our community; and

WHEREAS, Dr. Tony T. Lei, Ed. D., a famous resident of Clark County for more than nine years, has served the community through a variety of venues including: President of Washington Business and Technology Institute; Senior Advisor for Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Office of Clark County District Attorney, and Constanble's Office of Las Vegas Township; Director and Secretary of South Shores Community Association; Honorary President of Great Wall College and Xiamen Straits Foreign Language College; Chairman of Chinese American Academic Association of Nevada; Contributing Editor and Columnist of "Nevada Examiner"; and

WHEREAS, Dr. Tony Lei received his M.B.A. and Doctor of Education in Institutional Management degrees from Pepperdine University in 1969 and 1980, respectively. He had been an Associate Professor of Information Management and a Fellow of Management of the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chung Hsing University and Pepperdine University from 1985 to 1991 and 1991 to 1996, respectively.

Now, THEREFORE, WE, the Board of County Commissioners of Clark County, on this occasion, October 1, 2002, in celebration and recognition of his distingueshed professionalism and outstanding accomplishments, do hereby recognize and honor
Dr. Tony T. Lei, Ed. D.

and urge all citizens to join us wishing him a succesful and bright future."

"The above Proclamation was signed by the Clark County Chairman Dario Herera, Vice-Chair Myrna Williams, Commissioners Yvonne Atkinson Gate, Marry Kincaid-
Chauncey, Chip Maxfield, Erin Kenny, Bruce L Woodbury, and attested by County Clerk Shirley B. Parraguirre. As a humble and sincere American Coolie (hardworking man) like him, Dr. Tony Lei has given freely of his time, energy, knowledge, and talents, working on projects and events that contribute to the quality of life in Nevada and has dedicated himself to public service to not only the Asian Community but to all citizens. It's my great pleasure to name Dr. Tony Lei as a Son of Nevada," said the Chief Justice of Nevada Supreme Court William Maupin at the Celebration Party to "Nevada Examiner" and "Reviewjournal.com" at the Steak House of Binion's Horseshoe Club, Las Vegas on October 10, 2002. The Party was held by WBTI to celebrate William Maupin's being appointed as its Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) and as its Honorary Chairman of the Clark County District Attorney and Police Civil Commission (CCDAPCC).

After the 911 last year, we need to encourage the launching of activities to promote and attract tourism, trade, and investment from foreign countries to Nevada by Dr. Tony Lei. He has been honored by Xiamen, Fukien, China; China Business Chain, Inc.; Shanghai People's Municipal Government Cooperation Office; and China State Development and Planning Commission as Chairman of Nevada Expo Mission to China to attend Sisters Universities Establishment Celebration; the Annual International Mayors for City Development Forum; and the Shanghai International Industrial Fair and Yangtze Investment Project Expo. Dr. Tony Lei will organize a sound team joined by many high-ranking officials both of Nevada and California. U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman have been honored by WBTI as Honorary Chairpersons of our Nevada Expo Mission to China.*2

As the "Bible" inspired us that, "When God gives any man wealth and possesions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work --- this is a gift of God." *3

There are five lessons of "How to Treat People." The second Important Lesson of them is 'Pickup in the Rain' as in the following:

An American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stoppped to help her, generally unhear of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.*1

NOW more than ever - Peace It On....Pay It Forward. The best thing we can learn from children is that they known no limits nor boundaries. Their dreams and imaginations are the cornerstone of inspiration and what can be, not what is.*2

Think about the people you know. Which of them would you call successful communicators? What do these people have in common? The individuals on your list probably share five qualities. Effective communication requires perception, precision, credibility, control, and eongeniality:*3

(1). Perception. They are able to predict how their message will be received. They anticipate your reaction and shape the message according. They read your response correctly and constantly adjust to correct any misunderstanding.

(2). Precision. They create a "meeting of the minds." When they finish expressing themselves, you share the same mental picture.

(3). Credibility. They are believable. You have faith in the substance of their message. You trust their information and their intentions.

(4). Control. They shape your response. Depending on their purpose, they can make you laugh or cry, calm down, change your mind, or take action.

(5). Congeniality. They maintain friendly, pleasant, relations with the audince. Regardless of whether you agree with them, good communicators command your respect and goodwill. You are willing to work with them again, despite your differences.

The good words from the "Bible" are always inspired:*4 Jesus said, "I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." -- Revelation 3:11 "Bible"

The tongue of the righteous is the choice silver. -- Proverbs 10:20 "Bible"

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge.
-- Proverbs 15:2 "Bible"

When you walk into your first job as an MBA, all eyes will be on you. There are thirty-seven secrets to brandishing the confidence, wisdom, and polish of someone who has worked at a firm three years --- even when you have only been there just a few weeks. The following is the 'Seven communication laws you better not break,' written by Jon Housman:*5

1. Know what you don't know. "When smart young people start a job, they want to impress you. So they talk a lot," says Scott Koppelman, a senior financial adviser at First Union Securities Financial Network in New York. "But actually, that's perceived as a negative. I'm looking for someone who's aggressive but who knows when to listen." Rule of thumb: Listen four times more than you talk.

2. Treat your boss as if he were a client.

3. E-mail is not a crutch, a wall to hide behind, or any other metaphor, for that matter. It should never be a substitute for dealing with a problem in person, says Cella Irvine, a Harvard MBA and former senior manager at an Internet company. By addressing the first rift that comes along face-to-face rather than from your PDA, you'll immediately establish yourself as someone who doesn't shy away from situations and has good interpersonal skills. Bothered by an assistant's sloppiness? An associate's wisecrack? Tell them politely and forthrightly. Using your mouth. Otherwise, you'll be pegged as an e-mail coward.

4. Don't talk business in the bathroom. It puts people in the awkward spot of having to agree with you because they don't want to prolong the conversation. Managers tend to resent being put in an awkward spot. They're funny like that.

5. When your boss calls you at home on a Saturday,speak as if you were sitting at your desk. Do not mention that you're taking something out of the oven or that the delivery guy is at the door.

6. From a third-year associate at a bulge-bracket investment bank:"My firm has an open-door policy, which is great. But always pause for a moment before asking a senior person a question to make sure it's not something a peer could answer. A new hire who was junior to me once went straight to the director with a question I could have answered easily. He made us both look stupid."

6. You're working with your boss on a project, and he's plumb wrong about something. "You have to tell him when no one else is around," says Jana Carlson, a professional recruiter at the Blackstore Group in New York." I think this number might be off. Do you want me to double-check it? Pose it as a question, not as "You're wrong." Of course, you'd better be very sure he's wrong."

Five of the quatations by Russell Wild are valuable to put them here:*6
A. Prove Your Point
I know my students won't remember every formula. but I want them to remember this: There is no substitute for being able to convince people that your ideas are right, that your ideas are better. How do you do this? Part of it is knowing how to listen to people, part of it is knowing how to treat your peers well. --- Bhaskaran Swaminathan

B. Outsmart the Computer
A student may be able to get an A in the classroom by memorizing a formula, but if he wants to succeed in business, he has to know why the equation works and when it can be applied. If a student's knowledge of a theory doesn't move from the abstract to the concrete, it's worthless. For instance, when a client asks a portfolio manager why he's buying certain stocks, the manager's got to have something tangible to back it up. Saying"Our computer models are showing that this stock is underperforming" simply isn't good enough. __ Gib Bassett

C. Know Thy Customer
This is the bottom line: Customer fuel the business___any business. A deep understanding of the customer is critical in any marketplace. Who are the customers? Why will they buy? How will they evaluate the product? This sounds simple in practice, but very few business do it well. ___ Barbara Bund

D. Give the People What They Want
I can't stress this enough: People don't products or service. They buy solutions to painful problems. If your customer has a headache, sell aspirin, not vitamin. ___ John N. Doggett

E. Make Strong Connections
In today's quickly changing business environment, digital organizations require leaders who connect people to the company and to one another. In the accelerated and condensed digital environment, leaders who can build strong relationships with a variety of people are the ones who will thrive. ___ Celia Virginia Harquait
