Peter Raju Growing up in Fiji, Peter Raju was inspired by the work of missionaries to get involved and make a difference in the lives of others. After moving to Canada, Raju built a successful distribution business supplying Canadian duty-free retailers. In 2006 he opened Peach Arch Duty Free Shop, the largest duty free outlet in North America, which has twice been recognized as the second best duty free shop in the world. But with all his success, Raju hasn’t forgotten his roots, nor the importance of giving back to society.

Do it Now vs Do it Later
One of the songs sung at the funeral of assassinated U.S. President William McKinley in 1901 was Beautiful Isle of Somewhere. Written in 1897, it was about an imaginary land in which the sun was shining, the songbirds dwelled, and conditions were perfect. One of its verses begins this way: Somewhere the day is longer,
Somewhere the task is done…
Many people spend their lives dreaming about the “Isle of Somewhere” but never getting any closer to it. The isle remains indefinitely “somewhere,” the day is always “some day,” the accomplishment is always in the future.
Discuss and debate: My peers have helped me learn as much as possible about philosophical topics in fine art, technology, health care, law, religion and politics, to the point where I developed the competency to form an argument with a strong premise, and follow it through. This was the key to building confidence for me.

Greek Financial Crisis
Imagine a scenario where you were in dire financial straits. For years you spent beyond your means and maximized your credit card limits, your lines of credit, and your mortgages.
Eventually, it all catches up with you; your interest rates for borrowing, if you could find someone to lend to you, would be exorbitant and sooner or later you would be unable to meet your financial obligations. You’d be literally drowning in debt – as each month went by a larger proportion of your income would be swallowed up in interest payments.
To make it in this sport you will have to get used to a rigorous training regimen, hours of cardio and proper nutrition, all while balancing school life, friends, family, work, and kids, etc. So my advice is start slow. Set a time every day for any physical activity, and meal plan a week in advance. Once you get into a routine, it will be easier to up the ante. Key ingredients to a well rounded bodybuilder: improving each year and continuous learning.
