Which city and country are you writing from? Englewood, FL, USA Comments: Well, my friend, you are on a roll. Another superb minute missive. I had to get to the link via Favebook as your minutes are not reaching me....new computer, a laptop...had to buy it while in the midst of moving here so I don't know yet how to allow your 'minutes' in. Viva la facebook otherwise I wouldn't have known of today's message.

Which city and country are you writing from? Toronto, Ontario Comments: Success is different for everyone. Too often we put success in a $ slot. It could be the simple act of tying your shoelace and it lies within the deepest recesses of ourselves. Success has no conscience. It bears no allegiance to a flag, nor does it promise to have and to hold. Success simply is. It can be faithful, fickle or fleeting and it will confound us when it tires of our demands. We cannot buy it, sell it or trade it but we need it as much as the air we breathe, however we view it.
Which city and country are you writing from? Zürich, Switzerland Comments: I agree completely on everything you wrote in your "Minutes" - but today I received your last one which tops it all: The better one's life is going the more you should help others who are in need or distress. I have experienced this myself and I can only confirm your statement. It is what truly makes my life worth while. Richard.
Which city and country are you writing from? Detroit, USA Comments: I am in agreement with your definition of success in terms of having a balance in life. You also mention time, words. laughter and giving of oneself is success. I have been tapping in to this measure of success and not knowing it as being such. I am ready for success to shine in my life. I have a great love for people in general and do care about their welfare. I know that I am Bless, Happy and Healthy. It truly feels good to be able to continue and be a help to others. I truly feel people need to know and take heed to what success really is. Perhaps then maybe they would not be so hard on themselves. Everyone has some form lack. Be it a peace of mind, money,car and/or job; whatever it may be does not mean you are not successful. It means the old saying "If At First You Don't Succeed Try Try Again". In life you will hit a few bumps and get a few bruises. This is what some us need in order to become successful..
Which city and country are you writing from? Thokoza-Alberton-South Africa Comments: Oh yes! This is another one of those "Bruno's Minutes" that just hit the nail on the head. Words are creative or very damaging. Sometimes we say things unaware how hurtful they can be, and yes some people use them purposely to hurt or demean others. I have on numerous times burnt my fingers (or is it my tongue?) because of words wrongly interpreted. Now I've learned to be less opinionated, especially if not asked. My opinions remain mine.I've stopped wanting to be right and always heard. I've also learned to say positive words. Recently a long ago ex-girlfriend called me a con-man.She was amazed when I just had a very good laugh and said,"Thank you,that makes me think and grow". Again that sayd we can just accept what people think of us,take the words and learn from that.Thanks....God Bless.
Which city and country are you writing from? Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Comments: I just reread your comment on "the power of words". I cannot agree with you more! I want to say that not only are words powerful in themselves but I feel that the way we say them or the "attitude" in which they are said can turn a nice word nasty. I am 61 years old (or young as I'd prefer to look at it!) and I never seem to learn this lesson. I have screwed up words more than I care to admit. I am being positive insomuch as I will not give up trying to rectify this! I'm amazed how such a small thing like a tongue can cause so much damage in one's life! I need to remember to "bite" it more and waggle it less! I have learned some hard lessons in life due to mismanaged words. Thanks you, Bruno, for you words of wisdom. They have helped me grow in more ways than all my years of schooling!
Which city and country are you writing from? Gottmadingen (at the Swiss border) Comments: Translation below. Ich möchte Ihnen einfach mal Danke sagen für Ihre wunderbaren "Gedanken" in "This Week`s Minute". Ich darf Ihnen sagen, dass ich seit Jahren alle Ihre "Gedanken" nicht nur lese, sondern auch ordentlich abhefte. Sie bringen mir viel. Ich erinnere mich auch gerne an ein Interview, das Sie -, war es letztes Jahr? - im Schweizer Radio gegeben haben. So durfte ich Sie wenigsten ein bisschen kennenlernen. http://www.mailingpower.com Translation: I would like to thank you for your wonderful thoughts in "Bruno's Minute". Over the years not only did I read them attentively but I also filed each one of them. Your thoughts mean a lot to me. I also remember an interview that you gave - was it last year? - on Swiss Radio and that gave me the opportunity to get to know you personally
Which city and country are you writing from? Mumbai, India Comments: HI Bruno, it was wonderful reading yr such easy potent lines. I agree whole heartedly about what u say to be positive n use kinder nicer words instead of harsh words. in today timed driven dog life, its very easy to be short tempered and forgetful abut this fact. one needs an ongoing reminder to stay positive irrespective of way life moves. i myself am almost (say 85%) positive oriented guy but the rest 15% when happens it turns water on all good deeds and words used when being 85%. thanks for sharing and allowing to express my gratitude. cheers Bruno!!!!!!!!!1
Which city and country are you writing from? Riverside, California Comments: I agree with what you have said ...in spades. As a family physician I see a lot of young people who might be afraid of the doctor (because we might give them a shot). So I always try to make a positive comment or say "you might be a strong swimmer" or "a really good doctor" or "a smart teacher" (after finding their area of interest. And 30 years later I have gotten many feed back comments that the fear of the office visit made the positive comment a "teachable moment" and they remember whatever was said at that time. And many times actually followed through. Words are powerful. Keep up your encouraging "Minutes." TD
Which city and country are you writing from? Guayaquil, Ecuador Comments: We would be a lot happier if we focused more on deeds than on mere words. Locke, in his ESSAY ON THE HUMAN UNDERSTANDING expressed it this way: "We should have a great many fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves."
Which city and country are you writing from? Reading, PA Comments: I agree wholeheartedly with your post. Right before I read this, I had a similar experience. The apt complex I live has 2 elevators. 1 is broken, the other just died. I had to walk 9 floors to get to my apt. I called maintenance, and he was pretty angry. I didn't blame him, just the landlord. But if I would have threatened him, he would just have hung up, nothing would be resolved. After explaining to maintenance calmly, he is going to call the elevator service company on Sunday, instead it would take Monday. My point is, I have learned a lot from your one minute mails. If I never signed up, I probably would have just freaked out to maintenance, and that would have affected all 288 residents. Thanks
