Excelta Express
January 2008
Greetings!
 
Excelta would like to congratulate all those who responded and answered the Water Cooler question correctly last edition! The question was; "Up to what temperature are the titanium tweezers heat resistant?" The answer was, "800 degrees F."  A special "cheers" goes to those five lucky people who won the drawing! George Rodriguez from Stanley Supply, John Warner from Techni Tool, Vaughn Thammavongsa from R.S. Hughes, Cynthia Martinez from EIS, and Rubin Slyper from Starboard. Look for the Water Cooler question in this issue of Excelta Express to be a lucky winner!
 
Excelta PB-1 Pocket Beeper
PB-1 

Electricity needs a continuous path or circuit to flow.  As a continuity tester, Excelta Pocket Beeper (PB-1) affords the operator quick discernment of point-to-point continuity testing by a clear audible tone.  As a transistor and diode tester, the Pocket Beeper analyzes "in circuit" junctions for go/no go normality.  The Excelta PB-1 indicates leakage and short or open conditions of transistors.  The PB-1's portability, combined with its unique self-contained design and rugged enclosure makes it ideal for production and field service applications.  Call your Excelta rep today if you have any customers needing to "buzz out their circuits."

2008 Pricing
 
The new pricing for 2008 has been sent to all Excelta distributors and is effective as of January 15, 2008. Please note that some prices have gone up, some have gone down, and some have stayed the same. Price increases on most items are due to the rising cost of raw materials and shipping, as well as the devaluation of the dollar. The new prices were sent as an Excel spreadsheet attached to an e-mail. Many of our distributors have found this is the best format to import new pricing into their system. If your company has not yet received a copy of our 2008 price list, please send a message to our sales team at sales@excelta.com, and we will send you a copy.

Everyday is a New Day

"Happiness is a Voyage"

  • We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.
  • Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough, and that all will be well when they are older.
  • Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely we'll be happier when they grow out of the teen years!
  • We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire.

The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than right now.

If not, then when?

Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.

For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life. But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start.

I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life.

That point of view helped me to see that there wasn't any road to happiness.

Happiness IS the road.

So, enjoy every moment.

Stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your home to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn... before deciding to be happy.

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than...

NOW!

Live and enjoy the moment.
