well done Imagekind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Installation of this series on the Imagekind System was officially completed at 5:30AM on Sunday of March 30, 2008, and will be on continuous display in the BebirianGallery_THE_MONEY_SERIES_1 -

I even imagine when so wrapped up in such a job that everyone else's job around me is also so connected to and overwhelmingly taking over other people's lives, and so it may seem to them as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I leave that particular job and am no longer actively thinking about it at least for a few days and then I go on to something else, my entire world becomes absorbed in that "something else" and it begins to seem (from a certain perspective) that the prior job does not even exist anymore at all despite the fact that is very well may still exist for some other person and appear to be taking ver their lives at the current moment in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same thing appears to happen when a person looks back over an entire lifetime to the point at which they are at, and everythig prior become distorted time wise so that an event that took place perhaps 50 or so years before feels or appears to have taken place just yesterday and while a person is focusing on that particular event - all else seems to almost have not existed at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in light of this I am very condfident that while building my Empire (or any empire for that matter) on this or that cornerstone it is entirely irrelevant as to which cornerstone I begin with and as to what are the qualities of any of these potential cornerstones, and that the only important factor is that the building begins - From there all else will fall into place as if a painting on a canvas is being produced.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12604317-113024171253775913?l=theempirebuilder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/feeds/113024171253775913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12604317&amp;postID=113024171253775913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/113024171253775913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/113024171253775913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/2005/10/primary-conclusion-to-ok.html' title='Primary Conclusion to OK'/><author><name>Walter Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_NWoK6El2k4Y/R4jOUI-sMUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YfuH9DdwlfQ/S220/WALTER+PAUL+BEBIRIAN-stamp.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12604317.post-113022719778488117</id><published>2005-10-25T00:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-25T00:59:57.796-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OK</title><content type='html'>Now since I know that in many ways the creation of anything at all is almost always begun in one's own mind either as a picture or an idea or some desire to copy something else that has been observed either in the physical world around a person or in some magazine with pictures illustrating the desired object - so - it seems to follow from my thinking that the best way for me to procede is to formulate in my mind pretty much what I would like to see materialized in the physical world around me and then begin to take steps - almost unnoticeable in the beginning - towards building the empire or empires that I have imagined within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One striking feature that I do see, however, before even really getting on too far with such a project (and this keeps cropping up continuously) is that if I set my sights on let's say purching a company that may be publicly traded at the moment, and I choose to make the fraction of this company that I am able to purchase at this moment the cornerstone of my Empire, chances are there is likely to be a change eventually either within that company or a change by that company into some other shape or form by either a purchase from an outside company or by the original company dividing up into a number of smaller companies (which will hoepfully grow over time) or a purchase by an investment group in which case cash is given in exchange for the shares that this investment group would be purchasing and at that point my cornerstone will be instantaneously tranformed into cold hard cash which I would then have to find some other cornerstone to buy in order to proceed with my building of my  Empire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also the possibility, however remote, that the company that I have purchased a piece of decides that it is no longer worth the time and effort to coninue on in the face of such adversities that it has met up with at a certain point, at which time it will simply fold-up and no longer continue to exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a funny thing about basing my Empire's cornerstone on such an entity that could conceivably cease to exist in such a way (unlike real estate which is based on a seemingly more tangible substance such as dirt and rock and trees etc, but from a more scientific point of view I am extremely aware of the perspective pervading our society at the present time that anyting tangible such as dirt and rocks and trees are merely illusions created by pure energy and so I will have to give some thought to this perspective before going on about going in one direction or the other -&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12604317-113022719778488117?l=theempirebuilder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/feeds/113022719778488117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12604317&amp;postID=113022719778488117' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/113022719778488117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/113022719778488117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/2005/10/ok.html' title='OK'/><author><name>Walter Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_NWoK6El2k4Y/R4jOUI-sMUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YfuH9DdwlfQ/S220/WALTER+PAUL+BEBIRIAN-stamp.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12604317.post-112685119691491720</id><published>2005-09-15T23:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-15T23:13:16.926-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Basic Plan</title><content type='html'>Even a collector of stamps will have an album which gives him or her a basic outline to follow and set-up the collection to be either just U.S. stamps or divides them up into the various possible countries to collect the stamps of -

do you remember when was the&lt;br /&gt;first time that you heard their music?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do - back in the 60's and I believe that the first&lt;br /&gt;time I heard some of their songs I did not like them -&lt;br /&gt;not that much, but then sooner or later they turned up&lt;br /&gt;on the Ed Sullivan show, and hearing them with&lt;br /&gt;thousands of screaming girls in the background changed&lt;br /&gt;my listening capacity for what they were playing, and&lt;br /&gt;then they came to Forest Hills for their first live&lt;br /&gt;concert in the U.S. where they were flown in by&lt;br /&gt;helicopter, and my Friend bought a whole row of seats&lt;br /&gt;6 rows away from them and gave me my ticket free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went of course and will never forget the deafening&lt;br /&gt;screams, the pink hair rollers the girls were throwing&lt;br /&gt;down with their phone numbers and love letters stuck&lt;br /&gt;in them and then there was the girl who was sitting&lt;br /&gt;next to me, who when the Beatles got on stage and the&lt;br /&gt;crowd jumped up with unbounded energy and I stood up&lt;br /&gt;with all of the others around me, all of us standing&lt;br /&gt;on the chairs, this girl, this complete stranger threw&lt;br /&gt;her arms around me, I was thirteen at the time and too&lt;br /&gt;embarrassed to remember anything else, but from that&lt;br /&gt;time on at least I was intent on learning what those&lt;br /&gt;words and music were saying to the people there and&lt;br /&gt;around the world and how I could tap into the&lt;br /&gt;"electric juice" as I thought of it, that electrified&lt;br /&gt;my entire world eventually, because I saw that even my&lt;br /&gt;father, who at one time did not like that Beatle Music&lt;br /&gt;stuff, eventually when it was toned down for his ears&lt;br /&gt;as able to listen to it in a jazzed up way and maybe&lt;br /&gt;some of it in it's original raw state as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in reality, nobody  in the beginning is part of&lt;br /&gt;anyone's "market" until and unless they are exposed to&lt;br /&gt;whatever it is that is being presented and&lt;br /&gt;persistently enough, along with enough energy&lt;br /&gt;enthusiasm and pier reinforcement so that they soon&lt;br /&gt;become willing at  least to listen to what is&lt;br /&gt;happening with the girl next door! And then the music&lt;br /&gt;become part of them!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This if course is my opinion, but even one of the&lt;br /&gt;Rockefeller's has a quote right their in Rockefeller&lt;br /&gt;Center about persistence being the most important key&lt;br /&gt;to success - so I certainly hope eventually that you&lt;br /&gt;become one of my fans:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://estore.websitepros.com/630795/Search.bok?category=Featured+Products&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walter&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12604317-112004827248498784?l=theempirebuilder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/feeds/112004827248498784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12604317&amp;postID=112004827248498784' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/112004827248498784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/112004827248498784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/2005/06/persistence.html' title='Persistence'/><author><name>Walter Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_NWoK6El2k4Y/R4jOUI-sMUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YfuH9DdwlfQ/S220/WALTER+PAUL+BEBIRIAN-stamp.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12604317.post-111622869730990459</id><published>2005-05-16T00:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-16T00:31:37.313-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Remove the Emotions</title><content type='html'>from so many of the things we do and then we are merely taking the steps to create what it is that we want!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12604317-111622869730990459?l=theempirebuilder.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/feeds/111622869730990459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12604317&amp;postID=111622869730990459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/111622869730990459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12604317/posts/default/111622869730990459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theempirebuilder.blogspot.com/2005/05/remove-emotions.html' title='Remove the Emotions'/><author><name>Walter Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15974098797053338884</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_NWoK6El2k4Y/R4jOUI-sMUI/AAAAAAAAAAU/YfuH9DdwlfQ/S220/WALTER+PAUL+BEBIRIAN-stamp.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12604317.post-111570817995316557</id><published>2005-05-09T23:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-09T23:56:58.966-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing is Difficult</title><content type='html'>Nothing is Difficult and we can always improve -

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warren Buffet - who has been friends with Bill Gates for quite some time - but who claims to not understand the software business and Microsoft's business during that time (although he did personally purchase a few shares for himself as he indicated in a seminar once) -
