I've traveled to over 45 countries and I've almost three years in other countries. What can we learn from each other?I've developed a pronunciation system called "It Sounds Like" and I hope people will avoid using IPA (backwards C, a+e, upside-down V). Let's talk! Write to freeEnglishLessons@gmail.com. My Orkut and Facebook accounts are both linked to FreeEnglishLessons@gmail.com.

Other’s Thoughts
Once a man beside a road made a stand and started selling sandwiches.
He had no radio because of his heavy ears. He wasn’t read newspapers because of his weak eyes. His painting was placed over his head and his virtues sandwich was described. He stood next to his stand encouraging people to buy sandwiches and they stopped to buy. He was successful in his job so he bought more tools for making sandwiches. Then his son came from school helping him. But gradually the situation changed. Son said: “father, haven’t you heard radio news about financial condition?! If it’s going to be continued like now all wok will be broken, and perhaps a general stagnation occurs”. You have to prepare yourself for this recession “son said”.
Father thought that his son has gone to school, he listens to the radio news also reads newspapers then he must be right.
Thus, less bread and meat he ordered from the past. He brought down the panel and stopped standing outside encouraging people to buy his sandwiches. Suddenly his sales dropped down dramatically. Then he faced his son and said: “you were right son, the general recession has started”.
Anthony Robbins says something interesting:
Form your thoughts otherwise others will do that for you.
Fulfill your demands or others plan for you.

The Other Person’s Thoughts
Once a man beside a road built a stand and started selling sandwiches.
He had no radio because of his deafness.
He had no radio because he was deaf.
He wasn’t read newspapers because of his weak eyes.
An advertisement on a sign described his fabulous sandwich. He stood next to his stand encouraging people to buy sandwiches and they stopped to buy. He was successful in his job so he bought more tools for making sandwiches. Then his son came from school to help him. But gradually the situation changed. The son told him through sign language: “Father, haven’t you heard the radio news about the current financial condition?! If it’s going to continue, all work will be lost, and perhaps a general stagnation will occur. You have to prepare yourself for this recession."
The man thought, "My son has gone to school, he listens to the radio news and also reads newspapers, so he must be right."
So, the man ordered less bread and meat than usual. He took down the advertisement and stopped standing outside the stand. His sales dropped down dramatically. Then he told his son “You were right son, the general recession has started”.
