Positive Motivation With DolphinsHere is the Motivational WebTV episode of positive motivation that many people have been waiting for.

Egypt Scuba DivingThe current political unrest over in Egypt reminds me of my trip to that country back in 2001 where I went to Sharm el Sheik for some scuba diving in the Red Sea. Of course, I also spent time in Cairo and other places to visit the awesome ancient Egyptian ruins. It was a great trip during my years in pharmaceutical sales.

I recently saw the adventure comedy movie Fool's Gold which was based in the Caribbean. I was impressed with the nice scuba diving scenes throughout the movie. The water was clear and the coral reefs were visible. These scenes did give the viewer a decent idea of what the real underwater world would be like except I didn't see much fish in these scenes. But I enjoyed the movie. For more

One of my all time favourite animals is the dolphin. I've swam with them and scuba dived with them. They are like big dogs in the ocean. A few years ago, my then girlfriend bought me a really nice calendar full of dolphin photos. I'm thinking of getting a new one for 2010 and there is a great selection of these dolphin calendars for next year. Check them out if you are a dolphin lover too.

Looks like I'm going to miss Brockville Ontario scuba diving again this summer. The water temperature actually did spike up to 74 degrees F for a short duration, maybe a week. But now it's back down to about 71 degrees. Too cold for a 3 mm wetsuit. Maybe next summer if our summer gets better then. I would like to combine a trip out there for diving with some motivational talks in the

I did a talk last night and one of the points that came up with discussion with my audience was that self improvement requires regular motivation. The reason why many people fail in self improvement is that they forget important principles of what they learn in seminars and talks. Then they are back to where they started from. If people made a commitment to read motivation and self improvement

I did a very early morning motivational talk at a breakfast meeting at 7 am and I was recognized by one of the attendees who like myself, was in the local martial arts tournament circuit many years ago.  He said it was very interesting to see that I went from a martial arts competitor to become a motivational speaker and that my talk has an interesting spin with martial arts.  I haven't been up

Clint Cora was keynote speaker at a Toronto business association dinner and he briefly mentioned about the wonders of scuba diving with attendees.  The real surprise was how popular his new motivational audio CD and book was to attendees.  Clint had offered his book The Life Champion In You as a separate item or the book together with his new 2.75 hour audio CD as a package.  About 75% of buyers

As a motivational speaker and author of The Life Champion In You, I often come across observations in my daily life that inspire me and rather than waiting to compile them in another book which could take years, I would rather make them available to everyone immediately.  This is why I also have a motivation and inspiration blog which is posted to several times per week.  So the latest on

If one finds that life is tougher during the recession and that extra time is available due to a layoff or shorter working hours, there still is a way to benefit.  Take the time to learn extra skills by either enrolling in a course or simply by reading in the public library for free.  Even learn about new diving locations.Also, take the time to reconnect with important people in your life as well

I'm currently trying to get a speaking engagement to do my diversity presentation at one of the colleges in Tampa, Florida.  It would really be nice if I could land this gig since I would definitely be able to combine business with pleasure.  I would bring all my scuba dive gear and go diving off Tampa or Clearwater after I do my diversity presentation at the local college.

There is some quirks around the shipping options in our order system for our scuba diving tee shirts but we will fix them up this weekend.  In the meantime, don't worry if you are ordering because we adjust things by hand as well to ensure the proper shipping charges are set.

We are sold out of our scuba dive tank top t-shirts in the adult medium sizes now.  The adult X-large size for this tank top in our Scuba Dive Adventurer series is also sold out.  We do have other sizes still in stock.

A fiction author contacted me and wanted to write a novel about a scuba diver.  He doesn't dive himself so some of his description of dives were not accurate.  I advised him to go to a scuba shop and buy a basic manual from either PADI or NAUI if he can't afford to take a course.  At least the manual will give him a better idea of what diving is all about.  There are some articles at our scuba

My diversity program presentation now has a slide on scuba diving.  It is a wonderful and interesting slide that connects with friendships from different backgrounds but that's all I'll say about it for now.  One will just have to see me during my diversity program presentation.

Just to clarify things since we have added the shipping costs on our order boxes, the shipping is absolutely FREE within North America if an order is for nine or more scuba dive t-shirts.  That's why there are zeroes showing for the 'Ship 9+ Shirts' option.  So get together with your dive friends and put in an order together to take advantage of this.

The order box for our scuba dive t-shirts now includes the shipping charges which makes ordering much less complicated then before.  Both size and shipping options are selected by our customers in order to come up with the right totals.  Try our new ordering system out.

I was speaking to a college from Tampa, Florida at a campus activities conference.  There's a possibility that I might end up being a college speaker at this Tampa based college.  If this happens, I could go scuba diving during the same trip.  That's how we mix business with pleasure!

There was a neat way of using scuba tanks last night on the show 'The Unit'. Last night's episode was about a chlorine gas attack on the community and two members if the Unit used scuba tanks to breathe through the community.

If any of you scuba divers are in college or university, here's a new article on Success in College and University. Life in college or university should not just be on studying. There are other things to do not only for fun, but for picking up important skills that will be useful for future careers and life in general. Many of these skills cannot be learned in the classroom or lecture hall.

Polar bears have been tied in very closely with the Arctic marine life since they tend to stay near the ice floes where they can hunt for seals. If you like polar bears, the kings of the Arctic, then you will love these new 2009 calendars. The new selection of new Arctic Polar Bears Calendars for 2009 can be seen in our general article about these majestic creatures at our gallery website.

A new page with motivational posters and inspirational poster prints has been added to the Clint Cora website.

I realize that training for the next scuba diving level can be challenging. I personally found Rescue Diver to be one of the most challenging courses I've ever taken. So I've compiled some text from my upcoming book called The Life Champion In You which can serve as some good motivational quotes to keep you motivated in your training to be a better scuba diver.

To become a better scuba diver, one should have specific goals for diving. To do effective goal setting, you need to be in the right environment. This is an important task where you want to plan your scuba diving goals carefully so you don't want to do this in a place where you can't focus. You want to come up with the right goals and plans to achieve these goals. Goal setting is important
