Study the story below carefully. It may help solve the current financial crisis which is largely triggered by "phantom" money.
It is August. In a small town on the South Coast of France, holiday season is in full swing, but it is raining so there is not too much business happening. Everyone is heavily in debt.
Luckily, a rich Russian tourist arrives in the foyer of the small local hotel. He asks for a room and puts a E100 note on the reception counter, takes a key and goes to inspect the room located up the stairs on the third floor.
The hotel owner takes the banknote in a hurry and rushes to his meat supplier to whom he owes E100. The butcher takes the money and races to his supplier to pay his debt. The wholesaler rushes to the farmer to pay E100 for pigs he purchased some time ago.
The farmer triumphantly gives the E100 note to a local prostitute who gave him her services on credit. The prostitute goes quickly to the hotel, as she was owing the hotel for her hourly room use to entertain clients.
At that moment, the rich Russian is coming down to reception and informs the hotel owner that the proposed room is unsatisfactory and takes his E100 back and departs.
There was no profit or income. But everyone no longer has any debt and the small town's people look optimistically towards their future.

Dangerous Goals
6 Dangerous Reasons People Do Not Set Goals and Never Succeed
Goal setting is the framework for personal achievement. It is the backbone of becoming a person you desire to be. Setting and achieving personal goals will guarantee you success. There are Seven dangerous reasons people do not set and achieve their goals which act like a road block to their success.
The first reason I believe why people do not set goals is they do not see its importance.
The second reason why people do not set goals is a fear of others caused from criticism.
The third reason why people do not set goals is a fear of failure.
The fourth reason why people do not set goals is a fear success.
The fifth reason why people do not set goals is they do not know how.
The sixth reason why people do not set goals is they lack the inner desire to want something greater then what they currently have.
Reason seven Goals can set you up for failure. (huh)
Can you think of any more?
