You never know when your wallet could go missing. You could misplace it,
forget it or it could get stolen. And it’s usually at that moment that
you realize what was in it, which could cause more trouble than losing
the wallet itself.so these are few things that shouldn`t be in your wallet.
ATM cards
If you have several ATM cards, don’t put them all in your wallet — leave a few at home. This way, if your wallet gets lost or stolen you’ll still have the other cards. You can also make copies — front and back — to leave at home, so you’ll have the numbers handy if they go missing.
Jewelry
Do you ever keep a pair of earrings in the zipped pocket of your wallet for the evening or take them off and put them in there before exercising? If you do, remember to take them out when you get home. Otherwise, you might forget about them and only realize where you left your wedding ring after losing your wallet …
A phone with no security code
Nowadays, you can do everything with your phone phone, from paying bills to sending emails and keeping track of personal spending. It is essential to protect your phone with a security code. If it gets stolen, the thief won’t have open access to every aspect of your life.
Your passport
A passport is the best thing for thieves to get their hands on, especially for identity theft. That’s why it’s a bad idea to keep it in your wallet as a piece of ID. Use your health card or your driver’s licence instead. And if you’re travelling, it’s especially important keep your passport separate from your wallet. Leave it at the hotel and leave photocopies at home.
Too much cash
It’s easy to carry more cash than you need, especially if you’re trying to limit credit and debit card use. But if your wallet disappears, you’ll be less upset to lose a few notes than a couple of hundred...
Cheques and cheque books
A blank cheque is a gold mine for thieves. They can write any amount they want, and they have access to personal information like your full name and address right on the cheque. If you need to use a blank cheque, take it out of your cheque book and keep it with you. Also, you should write the name of the person or the company on the cheque, even if you don’t know the exact amount.
Receipts
We all keep receipts in our wallets. But it’s a good idea to clean it out once in a while because receipts often have more information than they should, like your signature or banking information. If you want to return an item, get a refund or keep a receipt for a warranty, you should keep those receipts somewhere else than in your wallet.
Numbers jotted down on the back of a business card are the first thing thieves look for.

Do It Now
By Berton Braley
If with pleasure you are viewing
any work a man is doing,
If you like him or you love him,
tell him now;
Don’t withhold your approbation
till the person makes oration
And he lies with snowy lilies on his brow;
No matter how you shout it
he won’t really care about it;
He won’t know how many teardrops you have shed;
If you think some praise is due him
now’s the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty, warm approval of a friend.
For it gives to life a savor,
and it makes you stronger, braver,
And it gives you heart and spirit to the end;
If he earns your praise – bestow it,
if you like him let him know it,
Let the words of true encouragement be said;
Do not wait till life is over
and he’s underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead.

The World Needs Men Who Hustle
I can personally vouch for hustle’s ability to make up for average and even below average innate talent. Two instances in my life stick out where hard-work and hustling did not pay off despite my weaknesses.
The first was back in school days. I did musical stuff, lots of businesses, unfortunately nature did not bless me to excel .Starting off was so hard, bad, not very coordinated, and weak. Needless to say,. I didn’t discover this vote of confidence until I graduated.
Many don’t have any results to show for all their ambitious goals in life. Some are on year seven of a four year degree,shambled business and others are stuck in a job that’s going nowhere. Maybe you know a man like this. Heck, maybe you feel like this.
Unfulfilled goals, of course, can lead to frustration, depression, and just a general dampening of your man spirit, which only makes it harder to get unstuck. When we dig a little deeper into the lives of these “stuck” men, a few commonalities appear.
First, there are the excuses. “The economy sucks.” “I’m not naturally smart/athletic/gifted.” “I don’t have enough time.” You get the idea.
Things are pretty rough right now. We’re facing some big problems that are going to take a lot of work to solve. We need men to step up and be leaders in our communities and families. We need more entrepreneurs , more creative ideas to start small businesses and employees who bust butt to help get our economy going again. We need men who hustle.
So many aspects of our lives have speed up, from fast-food to the internet,technology and lots more. So much of the world is now only a few keystrokes away. We don’t need
to break a sweat to see what’s happening in China. Having the world at your fingertips is wonderful-what a privilege to live in this time. But we must vigilantly guard against “expectation-creep.”
Expectation-creep is our ever increasing expectation that everything in life will come to us quicker and easier than before. That fortune and fame is only a google search away. While a lot of things in this world have changed, the need for hustle has not. The requisite brow sweat may be more figurative these days, but time, focus, dedication, and determination will remain the eternal principles of success.
So, here’s a challenge I’d like to issue to all of us: Let’s think more, hustle more. I know if we all start hustling we can make things happen- in our own life and in the world around us. It won’t happen right away, but it will happen.
If you’re tired of your crappy job, hustle your way into a better one. The economy is in the crapper and unemployment is dismal. You’re going to be competing with a lot of people for limited jobs. With all things being equal, the job is going to go to the man who hustles. Maybe you’ll need to go to night school in order to beef up your resume. Yeah, it’s going to be hard, especially if you have family, but it’s been done before. It’s just going to take some hustling.
