"If the globe is ready to do the exit strategy, China is ready," he said. "A lot of global coordination is required."

That amazingly lucid and sane quote comes from People's Bank of China deputy governor Zhu Min, stated at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this past Saturday.

What, to be more exact, was he really saying? Referring to today' s MarketWatch article, "China has resisted criticism from the United States, Europe and others that the yuan's peg to the dollar unfairly undercuts exporters outside of China."

So in other words, he said that China's RMB/USD peg is a strategic stimulus policy by China, no different than other country's strategic stimulus policies such as printing trillions of dollars by the United States to finance the financial industry bailout and provide stimulus to their economy.

My book editor Tom Pellman has done a terrific job on the manuscript, reminding us all once again that what we accomplish is so often a collaboration of talent and effort by a team of people. He informed me today that he has finally completed the current manuscript edits with the total # of pages at 115. Smaller books are popular in today's world but rather than publish now, I would rather keep the goal of 150-160 pages in . I still have an additional section of about 30 additional pages of content on influence and impact with a dual focus; first on the personal-business scale and secondly, on the macro-social scale, both deomonstrating the concept of small changes which make a big and permanent difference. This is a topic area I've noticed repeatedly during the past several months and I would rather delay the publishing a few additional weeks than leave the content for the second book.

At this stage, I will start posting book chapter excerpts and will greatly enjoy sharing your thoughts and ideas...please do add your comments and challenges.

Cheers, Mario

A 30 year mortage is insane, it is very bad for you and very good for your bank, AND THEY NEVER TELL YOU THIS SECRET THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT.

Many thanks to our sponsors and organizers as Shanghai's first Catalyst To Change event held 18 sharp minded people riveted together for a day...5pm hit us all faster than a speeding bullet and onward we went to 5:30 still wanting to discuss more...highlights of the day were dissecting Lincoln's Gettysburg address which revealed crystal clear why that speech is considered one of the world's finest; In a nutshell Lincoln used a very specific set of emotionally moving majestic words combined with the simple use of repetitive phrases in 3's. As most of you know, repetitions, especially repetitive phrases such be delivered in sets of three; finally we wrappe up the day by viewing Al Pacino's masterful speech at the church funeral in the movie City Hall, another masterful combination of emotion, clarity and use of repetition...do check it out on youtube and share your comments...

Heaps of gratitude to sponsors and partners American Airlines, Globally Green Energy Consortium, Shanghaiexpat, Shanghai Business Review, and organizers KBC China and 4inGroup.

Look for more coming up in Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong...the recession be damned, people need answers...

Unlimited Selling Power, author Donald Moine,PhD. Copyright 1984 Prentice Hall. This is the book to put on your desk and at your bedside to have the master tools of influence and persuasion at your fingertips.

Note the copyright date of 23 years ago...that should tell you something because the world today is flooded with books written by successful people who rehash what everyone else already wrote because it is an important part of business strategy to become an author. That's ok, but a duck is a duck and needs to be recognized with awareness.

I shall explain...
