Taking the Bull by the Horns
How successful people beat fear.
The first thing to realize is that Fear is all in the mind. We are a product of our perception of reality. Why is it that some people faint at the sight of a cockroach and others consider it a delicacy and eat it?

Dot-US Is Available!
Most countries have top-level domain names which end with their countries’ designated suffix, such as .ca(Canada), .uk(United Kingdom), etc. Finally, after many years of prodding, the U.S. government will allow individuals to register their own .us domain name. On Monday March 4th, 2002, the U.S. government will allow companies to register their trademark name with a .us suffix. After April 9th, anyone can register their name. The 35 registrars who have signed-up to sell the .us TLDs can do so to anyone who has a business in the United States or does business here. The U.S. Commerce Department selected the Washington D.C. company, NeuStar, to operate the name last year. NeuStar also works with the Australian company NeuLevel to operate the .biz TLD. Neustar will charge the 35 registrars US $35 per name and the registrars will charge us somewhere between $15-$30. Although 100,000 names have already been issued, they are mostly owned by state and local government agencies. When .us was first released, it wasn’t very popular because the name looked like software.lex.ky.us. However, now Neustar says that they will allow people to register their names which look like software.us. What a change! Lastly, Neustar promises that they can register and have your domain name operational in less than 15 minutes.

The First Step to Real Success
Do you want to have success? Do you want to feel a successful person? Success is what many people are striving for. Success is deemed to be the ultimate goal to strive towards. That's fine to a degree, because we all need to head towards something worthwhile. However, one of the problems I've noticed is that, although many people say they want success, they can't define it clearly. Their definition of success is vague.
