BETTY'S TIPS FOR SUCCESS II

As promised, today Betty presents rule II for becoming succesful and famous, in addition to PP's wonderful new series: How to meet New People

RULE II: BE THE ANSWER
For those of you who will be famous and succesful soon, it is very important to start focusing on those two flappers sticking out of your head: your beautiful ears. People nowadays tend to focus on the eyes, but the ears can do some good for you two. Betty's Newsletter is, how co-incidental, devoted to the EARS this month, so please check it out to update your knowledge. The idea behind listening to people is to then present yourself as THE ANSWER to any question they might have. Like yesterday, when Betty talked to an answer, she found out how comforting and reassuring that felt.

Betty: I have a question

ANSWER: And you want to know what's the answer?

Betty: Yes

Answer: Right. The answer is right.

Betty: Good answer, what was the question?

Answer: I don't know. I just do answers

Betty: Okay...gee, you must give many answers during the day

Answer: Is that a question?

Betty: Yes

Answer: Okay... yes,..the answer is yes

Betty: Yes..All right...(silence) would january 2030 be a good month to go on holiday?

Answer: Absolutely, 100%

Betty: thanks...just what I needed

Answer: No thanks

As you can see, this conversation could lead to great friendship and deep connection between two people who just met.
Succes is always related to answering the questions of people, who then will become your fans. If you feel nobody wants to become your fan just tell them a little bit about yourself: what you ate today, or where you'd love to go. Fans love to talk to famous people and since you'll be one soon it should come easy.

Next time we'll discuss the third rule for becoming a succesful person...

Cheerio!

BETTY'S TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Today Betty presents the first RULE that will help you to become famous

When you're a famous person, you need to meet and greet many strange and unsuccesful people, and you'll need to wash your hands all the time and go to the hairdresser very often. So the first thing is to decide: can I live with this or not? If not, then it's better to forget about the whole thing and do something more common (like: making muffins at home)

But if you still feel like it, than Betty has the following first lesson for you:

RULE I: EMBODY YOURSELF
Many people aren't where their body is. They live somewhere else. They dream and move to another planet on a daily basis.
Others limit themselves to JUST being a head. Especially nowadays, with all these computers, people don't remember their body and what it feels like. So there is lots of space for you left; you just need to use your WHOLE BODY, like Madonna. Don't start dragging out pieces of woods to build a cross to hang yourself at, but just move like the woman (don't sing!). Think big. Think as if there were large audiences applauding for you. Then, with this feeling incorporated, go out and start to make your first important contacts with future fans, on whom you'll need to build your fame on. Your body is your future

Now, for the right environment to start in, I would like to refer to the postings of Professor Periwinkle about where to meet people. Please write to us about any questions that you might have on this and we'll answer.

Tomorrow we'll present RULE II for how to become famous and succesful.


Cheerio!

Betty Bras Rooted

Today Betty talks to Guru about feeling at home

"I long for a home, because I never seem to fit in, " said Betty to Guru, who was sitting next to her on a bench.
"But you do!" said Guru.
"Well," said Betty, "I suppose fitting in means that you're rooted in some place or so, but I haven't felt that for a long time."
"Then," said Guru," then you'll have to go back in time and remember at what place you felt rooted."
"Hm," said Betty and went back in time with her mind. "I guess it was when I felt very connected and very inspired and very mystical and surrounded by good spirits..."
"It's a little much," said Guru. 'Why can't you say, I felt at the right place..."
"Because it wasn't really that I felt being at the right place," said Betty, "it was more a place of connection and inspiration"
"Betty baby, you make things very complicated..at what place did you feel rooted?"
"New York," answered Betty. "No no! Durango! No! Moscow. Paris!...when I had an affair and a job and.."
"Betty! you're not like UPS, located everywhere. Come on now, where was the best and real home?"
"The womb..." murmured Betty.
"Well, then follow it!..." grumped Guru, not understanding the complexity of it at all

Do you have a solution for the problem of not feeling at home, that lots of people have, please let Betty know at betty.bras@yahoo.co.uk or just comment on this posting.

SUPERBETTY

"If you don't feel well," said Guru, "than just open your ears and listen. That's the first thing to do. Listen to your inner voice and to what it has to say."
"Hm," said Betty.
"Than," said Guru, "you got to act and try to embrace what's there, send out the positive and hope for the universe to return something good..."
"Aha," said Betty
"Than," said Guru wisely, "try to inspire yourself by thinking lightly and positive and that all things happen for the learning!"
"O dear", said Betty."Last night I dreamt that I was Superbetty. I ran out of a window, jumped on an airplane, crashed myself onto a few buildings and bumped into a few people. It seems to me, that what you're saying is like a dream. Being all light, inspired and positive so you'll go into a flying flow. My flying flow was scary and not so much to learn from."
Guru looked puzzled because he never had heard of a flying flow. "Betty," he said, " there is a flow, and you can fly. And that you're Superbetty anyway, that's something that no one else can do anything about.
"Hm," said Betty and felt very very shy, and than happy and than awkward. And than Super. It was a complex moment in the day

BETTY and The Moneylorry

Today Betty meets a Geriatrics Moneylorry

Betty: So your job is to entertain senior citizens?

GM: Yes, than they'll laugh and they'll give me all their money, clothing and wisdom

Betty: Wow

GM: I also collect money from other senior folks; like senior executives, senior managers and senior football players although the latter don't give much for my entertainment

Betty: How do you entertain them?

GM: By acting young and stupid

Inspiration Consult

Today Betty gets a phone call from Mr. Mashimoto

Betty: Mr. Mashimoto! How are you?

Mr. Mashimoto: Ah, Bitty, Bitty I'm fine...Just came back from business travel!

INSPIRATION STATION

"Well, " said Betty to herself today. "If it is not about the land and nature where you're living although it might help, that one can find total inner peace, and if it is not about sucking your friends and family empty for love, warmth and attention; than it probably is all inside of you. Just like the Buddhists say." (She spoke out loud, that crazy Betty)
"I will have to create it. My world. The vision, the values, the journey. Yes, I might even have some tales to tell!" Betty got excited. So she took herself up from the tree she was hanging around with and started her way, meanwhile ignoring the nervous glances of Seeking Woman and PP who just decided to make a good soup.
It had just rained and it was a beautiful morning

BETTY BIKE

The problem of today was the matter of the bike. Did Betty need a bike or not? It was an expensive bike. She saw the vehicle at a bike store, where it just stood. Shiny, strong, healthy looking. A Giant Expression. Purple. Very spiritual looking too. But Betty could not be pursuaded to buy the Giant right away.
'Do the Belgians have Giant Expressions?'Betty wondered, thinking about Brussels where nobody seemed to express anything for bikes. But at least, there were two bikers that cycled around. Although, they probably were just poor people with no money for a car.
Maybe, Betty had another thought, I need a car first. In Brussels people need a car to be cool, fast and safe. I'll buy a bike later, AFTER I have bought a car.
But the Dutch Amsterdam bike loomed in the window and Betty, who did not exactly know what to loom meant, thought the Giant Expression bike really needed her.
"I'll buy the damn thing, she thought
No, I'll wait, she thought in the next moment.
No, I'll buy it and I'll place it next to my house so that I'll have it
No, I'll buy it AFTER I have bought a car
I'll buy both!
I'll go by train, with the bike on the train, to Brussels and than I'll bike to a car store."
There was no way out.
In the end Betty bought just a little train ticket. To get by.
The rest stayed unclear. TBD

BETTY AND MUM AND DAD

Today Betty visited her mum and dad in Durango. Mum was preoccupied with being ill. She was upstairs in the house, in bed. Dad was very preoccupied with making tea for mum, in the mean time grinding his teeth since mum had taken on the role of an English patient (in terms of tea)
"It's too hot, dad
It's too strong, dad
It's not strong enough dad
I need a cooky with that
I definitely need two cookies with that
Oh no...this tastes horrible
Oh no....this is like mud
No more...that's enough!!"
ENOUGH! said dad and ran downstairs with the last bit of tea in the teapot. "I'm not going to serve that woman anything again. I'm going to sleep in the garage and be cold."
And so he did.
Betty felt very bad for dad. "You want a cup of tea to be warm?" she asked. But dad had no interest. According to him, marriage was just a big hassle. But, you are married for 45 years, said Betty. You should know how to make her a cup of tea.
But dad shook his head. "SHE is married for 45 years," he said. "But I've kept single all my life"
And so it stayed.
Betty in the end made a nice little cup of tea for herself.
To keep warm
