As a sincere believer of God, we found that we can even live as in the heaven in this World at the present. Whether people is living in the Heaven or in the Hell is up to his or her selection. With sincere love, you are likely to live in the Heaven. With cruel hate, you are likely live in the Hell. To fight and destroy each others for property and fame is where the place called Hell. To cooperate with each others to promote our quality of life will be the place where we people may make it as a Heaven.
Therfore, the Heaven is where the place full of love while the Hell is where the place full of hate. It is all depending on your heart to see whether you are in the Heaven or in the Hell. By using this standard, you may measure the quality or depth of yours in the Heaven or your in the Hell.
Accordng to the oriental (not Asian) ways of life, people would suspect the one who always find out and praise the good characters and accomplishment of others. In the
many thousand years of the past, it was one of the factor that hurt the encouragement for innovation and science development for the Asian people and countries.
After a full applause by the audience at his speech, a professor automatically spoke his mind: "The people who enthusiastically give a hand to others, will certainly one day get a lot of more applauses!"
Everytime when he was encouraged and praised by an individual, Dr. Tony Lei used to remind: "The one who knows how to praise other people, is the one herself or himself having certainly lots of more goodness which are worth for us to praise for!"
"I agree with Judge Valorie Vega's idea to be honored as a Fellow of the Public Administration Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI). She wrote: 'It will undoubtedly provide me with avenuess for exploring improvements in public services to which I am most dedicated.' I'm glad also to share the similar position as its faculty member--- Obligatory Legal Counselor of Pan Pacific and Asian American Forum (PPAAF).
"It's significant. Dr. Tony Lei told me that for comunity service --- that based on 'love in action is service above self' --- the abundanct reward from one's humune love, spiritual excellence, and professionalism of expert are far more greater than solely his or her title," said Jackie Glass, Esq. on April 18, 2002. Jackie is now a famous District Judge of Nevada.
People asked another professor whether his speech was wonderful or not. He felt that sometime it was wonderful but sometime not. It all depended on luck. "Only if I've wonderful audience, my speech would be definitely wonderful!" he said.
"It's my good experience, like Senator John Ensign's, to be introduced by Dr. Tony Lei to deliver a speech to our Nevadan seniors in the election year of 2000. I'm glad to have a friend like Tony who can merge the modern scientific methodology of management philosophy with the humane spirit and charitable love to the value and belief of the religion. Intelectuals like Nancy Becker, I, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Lisa Brown, Cheryl Moss, Cedric Kerns, Besty Kolkoski, Ann Zimmerman, Natalie Tyrrell, among others in joing with this idea all won in the last election with highest votes within the juridical area. To add to the list including Dr. William Thompson, Dina Titus, and Mark Denton, they are all excellent faculty members of the Public Administraton Institution (PAI) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI)," said District Court Judge Valorie Vega on the event and dinner party held by Asian American Community on April 19, 2002 at the Harbor Palace Seafood Chinese Restaurant in Las Vegas.
On May 17, 2002, a dinner party was held by Asian American Community for a special tribute to Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge Michelle Leavitt and Justice of Peace Jennifer Togliatti. It was at the Harbor Palace Chinese Restaurant in China Town, Las Vegas. Kenote Speakers were Michelle and Jennifer. Guest of Honor was District Court (family) Judge Cythia Dianne Steel.

"In this generation and society, we need economic growth, but we need also growth in rich ideals, in justice and compassion, in service above self, and in action of love and moral courage. There are two princeples athe the heart of the positive thinking road map: (1) the first principle is the truth in thinking. (2) The second principle is the 12 positive thinking traits," says Dr. Tony Lei.
"The following are 12 traits that charaterize a positive thinker: Optimism. Enthusiam, Belief, Intelligence, Courage, Integrity, Confidence, Judgement, Persistence, Liveliness, Vision, and Desire to excel. Each trait, when leveraged properly, produces powerful results to achieve our goals. These traits, when diligently and wisely applied together with the truh in thinking, allow us to ovecome obtacles and challenges in a positive manner in our lives for accomplishment."

We shall see performance gains, achieve our goals, and have a happier and more successful life.

To educate executives and managers with innovative knowledge and modern technology is a core competency of the Graziadio School of Pepperdine University. "Indeed, this year has marked a number of significant benchmarks for the Graziadio School. This fall we welcomed the largest class of full-time M.B.A. students in our school's history," said Dr. Linda Livingstone. "In a time when many business schools have been challeged by decreasing student enrollment, this drasmatic increase --- up more than 305 from last year --- was both a testment to the quality of our curriculum as well as the hard work of our committed staff and faculty. This year's class boasts an average GMAT score of 636 and includes students from more than a dozen countries."*1
A distiguished group of professors and consultants joined corporate human resource professionals to discuss wide-ranging issues in leadership development at The Graziadio School's second annual Executive Learning Forum in Pepperdine University. The event was created and facilitated by Dr. Robert Fulmer, Virtue Professor of Management at The Graziadio School. It was held at the Malibu Campus of Pepperdine Univesity on March 16-17, 2001.
The Forum has faciliated the "real-world" management practice for the School's MBA programs. One of them is designed for experienced managers, while the other is designed for presidents and key executives (MBA/PKE).
"One of the Graziado School's core is its ability to successfully address the unique challenges of executive learning. This forum is an important part of an effort to extend Pepperdine's reputation and recognition in this arena. It provides an opportunity for world-class thought leaders in knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge utilization to come together in an informal setting to discuss the key challenges of executive learning and leadership development ," said Dr. Robert Fulner.*2
The program of MBA/PKE is made available exclusively to executives in senior management positions and to entrepreneurs. This is an integrative academic program of professional education directed toward substantial gains in executive competence. The Forum may become a creative design as a mentor for lauching the program locally, nationally, and internationally.
Professor Fulmer opened the forum by asking participants to share what major insights or learning they had acqires during the past year along with the changes that had impacted their industries since the previous year's forum. For many, technology and the impact of Web-based intelligence had been instrumants of change. Other participants note challenges due to mergers and organizational changes.
The participans of the Forum included: Nancy Adler, McGill University professor and author; John Alexander, president of the Center for Creative Leadership; Doug Anderson, founder and managing partner of the Center for Executive Development; Jay Conger, professor of leadership at The London Business School and the University of Southern California; Linda Doyle, president and CEO of Havard Business School Publishing; Bob Fogel, president of Harvard Business School Interactive; John Humphrey, chairman of the Forum Corporation; Marshall Sashkin, author and George Washington University professor; Edgar Schein, MIT professor, author, and leadership consultant; Steve Stumpf, author, professor, and former dean of professional development at Booz Allen Hamiton. The Graziadio School was represented by its Dean Otis Baskin and eight faculty members.
Questions such as "What are the new partnership that we need to create, and how can these be structured?" and "What would it be like if our work were truly important to the world?" were asked by him for the participants to give responses. These themes, woven throughout the forum, triggered lively exchanges among the panelists. At the conclusion, many were already anticipating the next forum.*3
"Rapidly accelerating change is the critical challenge in virtually every industry today. The complexities of our world demand managers and workers with dramatically increased capavilities. The Grsaziadio School has been developing value-center leaders for mor than a quater century. During that time, it has become the premier provider of quality business talent in California and the western United States." said Dr. Linda Livingstone*4 Dr. Livinstone has been the Dean of this School since June 1, 2002. She received her B.S., M.B.A., and Ph.D. from Oklahoma State University. Dr. Livingstone will bring an international perspective to Pepperdine University. She has helped develop and teach courses in an MBA program in Jinan, China. .
At the time of Dr. Linvingstone's appointment, Dr. Tony Lei wished her endeavor to lead the Graziadio School into this millennium with academic excellence, practicality expertise, and spiritual values. A special program of MBA/PKE designed for presidents and key executives internationally is in ugent need for the cooperation of the Graziadio School and WBTI. "The spirit of both innovation and pioneers has motivated America to be a leading and prosperous country in the world. As an integrative academic program of the professional education directed to substantial gains in executive competence, modern technology, innovative knowledge, and spirit of entrepreneurship; an unique feature of one week workshop in Las Vegas for the cooperated MBA/PKE Program should be designed for the Chinese speaking business executives and owners of the international world mainly from China, Taiwan, and Singapore" said Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*5
"International students are drawn to the U.S. for its educational and employment opportunities. In many cases, these individuals speak multiple languages and are experienced in global business. The cultural expertis and business savvy they offer can really help to move your business forward" said Nicole Hall, Director of Career Resources for Pepperdine University's Grazidio School. "Universties offer a wide range of specialized degrees including executive and international M. B. A. programs. With a little research, you can locate candidates with the right background and experience."*5
"Thousands of men and women have chosen The George L. Graziadio School of Business and Management because of its distinctive blend of qualities. Many enroll in executive program, having already achieved position of senior leadership, but wanting to recapture that competitive edge and creative fervor. It is the worldwide network of alumni that validates our extraordinary mission o f preparing good people to 'make big plans' and 'aim high in hope and work,'" said Dr. Andrew Benton, President of Pepperdine University.*6
