If anything can come close to magic in real life, it is the power of your belief. So ask yourself, what do you believe in? Because, after all, what you believe in basically determines whether you will succeed or fail in your attempts to achieve anything of greatness. So it’s worth all the time to evaluate our own belief system and make sure we are setting the foundation right for success.

Today’s quote beautifully depicts the power of belief, the power of faith…

“The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.”- Richard M. DeVos

Did you say where is my lense?

Na aah.. not the lense you wear on your eyes! But the lenses that help you see information on the web.

Say What?

Well, I am talking about the Squidoo Lenses. (For those hearing it for the first time, Squidoo is a website that allows users to create lenses or web pages on a particular topic. Thus it is a lense on that topic and hence the name). So where are the squidoo lenses for Baby Boomers? and how do I find them?

Say no more. Your wish is answered by Susan via the SquidBoomers lense. She has compiled a very interesting collection of lenses on topics of interest to Baby Boomers. Also, to top it all off, Susan also runs a blog on the same subject that gives you more information on these lenses and other related topics. So check it out. You’ll probably find something that takes you back to those good ole’ days.

So did you say where is my lense? Find it all right here.

GM is coming out with vehicles that are more adaptive to older eyes, older bodies. And other automakers are thinking to follow suit. As Baby Boomers get older and reach retirement age, along with it come the health related issues and reduced eyesight. This is hightime for automobile makers to take notice and redesign the cars to accommodate this changing needs of Baby Boomers. Make no mistake. For those manufacturers that sieze this opportunity, it is big business. Apparently, GM is coming out with vehicles equipped with high-tech gadgets that help with blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warnings and so on.

Chuck Nyren of the Advertising to Baby Boomers blog has posted the following nice post covering the recent Business Week article on the subject, ‘The coming Boom in Boomer Friendly Transport‘, as well as his own prediction on the topic much earlier. This articles also talks about the need for the roads, road signs themselves to change to be more convenient on the aging bodies. Click on the links above for further reading on this topic.
