Life Is Like Sea

2010-06-08T20:18:00.000-07:00

Life is like Sea.
As vast as you can imagine; As deep as you can think.
Don’t waste time measuring your life. You won’t succeed.

Instead, explore life.
Reach for new harbors as you pass through different phases of life.
Make friends on each destination. Enjoy your journey.

Life is a mountain

2010-03-11T18:23:00.000-08:00

Life is like a mountain. Reaching its peak is my aim.
However trails are difficult to go through.

But what's important are -
The lessons I've learned,
Challenges I've experienced,
and the people I'm with in my journey.

Purpose Of Life

2010-01-10T11:51:00.001-08:00

It's not enough to have lived.
Be determined to live for something.

It should be creating joy for others,
Working for the betterment of society,
Sharing what we have,
Bringing hope to the lost,
And giving love to the lonely.

62 WAYS TO MAKE 2010 YOUR BEST YEAR YET

2010-01-07T18:10:00.000-08:00

62 WAYS TO MAKE 2010 YOUR BEST YEAR YET From Robin Sharma

1. Remember that leadership isn't about your position. It's about your influence.

2. Get fit like a pro athlete.

3. Lift people up versus tearing people down.

4. Protect your good name. An impeccable reputation takes a lifetime to build. And 60 seconds to lose.

5. Surround yourself with positive, ethical people who are committed to excellence.

6. Remember that even a 1% daily innovation rate amounts to at least a 100% rate of innovation in 100 days.

7. Believe in your dreams (even when others laugh at them).

8. Measure your success, not by your net worth but by your self worth (and how happy you feel).

9. Take an intelligent risk every 24 hours. No try-No Win.

10. Read "Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist".

11. Watch "Man on Wire".

12. Regardless of your title at work, be a team builder.

13. Remember that business is all about relationships and human connections.

14. Say "please" more.

15. Say "thank you" more.

16. Know your Big 5: the five things that need to happen by the end of this year for you to feel its been your best year yet.

17. Read your Big 5 every morning while the rest of the world is asleep.

18. Read "As You Think". At least twice this year.

19. Be willing to fail. It's the price of greatness.

20. Focus less on making money and more on creating value.

21. Spend less, save more.

22. Leave everything you touch better than you found it.

23. Be the most positive person in every room you're in.

24. Run your own race.

24. Stay true to your deepest values and best ideals.

25. Write a handwritten thank you note to a customer/friend/loved one every day.

26. When you travel, send love letters to your kids on hotel stationary. In time, they'll have a rich collection to remember your travels by.

27. Read "Atlas Shrugged".

28. Be a problem solver versus a trouble maker.

29. Rather than doing many things at mediocrity do just a few things-but at mastery.

30. Honor your parents.

31. Commit to doing great work-whether anyone notices it or not. It's one of life's best sources of happiness.

32. Give more than you receive (another of the truths of happiness).

33. Have your 1/3/5/10/25 years goals recorded on paper and review them weekly.

34. Be patient. Slow and steady wins the race. The only reason businesses that went from zero to a billion in a year or two get featured in magazines is because 99% of businesses require a lot more time to win.

34. Underpromise and then overdeliver.

35. See part of your job as "a developer of people" (whether you work in the boardroom or the mailroom).

36. Wear your heart on your sleeve. When people see you're real, they'll fall in love with you.

37. Be authentic versus plastic.

38. Read "The Alchemist".

39. Remember that life wants you to win. So get out of your own way.

40. Consider that behind every fear lives your next level of growth (and power).

41. Eat less food.

42. Drink more water.

43. Rest when you need to.

44. Read "SUCCESS" magazine.

45. Write your eulogy and them live your life backwards.

46. Demand the best from yourself.

47. Remember that the more you go to your limits, the more your limits will expand.

48. See everything that happens to you as an opportunity to grow (and therefore, as a precious gift).

49. Be obsessed with learning and self-development.

50. Become comfortable alone (you are the only person you get to be with your whole life).

51. Smile. It's a stunningly effective way to win in business and life.

52. Reflect on the shortness of life.

53. Be bold when it comes to your dreams but gentle with those you love.

54. Remember that success is dangerous because it can kill drive/innovation/passion and going the extra mile. Be successful yet stay hungry.

55. Read "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin".

56. Be of deep value to this world.

57. Own beautiful things but don't let them own you.

58. Use excellent words.

59. Laugh more.

60. Don't complain, gossip or be negative.

61. Plan as if you'll live forever but live as if you'll die tomorrow.

62. Feel free to pass these lessons on to those you want to help.

Don't wait for tomorrow

2009-10-21T19:42:00.001-07:00

Gravity is not responsible for people to fall in love. It just happens.

And when it does happen, don't wait for the right time to express,

because right time is when your heart beats faster.

If you love someone.. don't wait for tomorrow,

or for the other person to make the move.

Agreed 'Tomorrow never dies', but also remember

'Tomorrow never comes, so live in today.'

True Love

2009-08-24T20:27:00.000-07:00

The greatest mistake in Love is trying to possess it.
It will spill out of hand just like water.

Love will retrieve from you if you demand, if you expect.
Love is meant to be free; you cannot change its nature.

If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give, but don't expect. Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

The Best Habits of Excellent Leaders

2009-07-09T08:38:00.000-07:00

1. They ask brilliant questions.

2. They are fit like athletes

3. They are direct/clear/authentic communicators

4. They read (The best leaders have the biggest libraries! Read to Win).

5. They keep journals to record good ideas, lessons learned and dreams to be executed on.

6. The run their own race. Leadership isn't about following the mob and being like everyone else. That's followership.

7. They are ethical - maintaining pristine reputations.

8. They lead where they are planted, deeply understanding that leadership is a way of behaving versus a title on a business card.

A happy man is happy not because everything is right in his life;
He is happy because he does all things in his life right.

2009-06-29T03:49:00.000-07:00

Do not let your fire go out, spark by an irreplaceable spark,

in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,

the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish,

in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,

but have never been able to reach.

Check your road and the nature of your battle.

The world you desired can be won.

It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country.

One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony.

He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.

There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

Some of us waste our time waiting for people

to live up to our expectations.

We are so concerned about what others are doing

that we don't do anything ourselves.

Its not so important what others are up to;

compared to what you are doing.

Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.

2009-06-07T23:39:00.001-07:00

Think big, and your deeds will glow.
Think small, and you will fall behind.
Think that you can, and you will.

It is all in the state of mind.

Geniuses know very little about most things and a lot about a few things.

Anyone can give up.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do.

But to hold it together,

when everything seems like falling apart;

That's true strength!

Great thought that passed across me while reading an article... Captured below as some kind of rememberance whenever I read the post.

During my second month of school, our professor gave us a pop quiz.

I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely, this was some kind of joke.

I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also spoke to her, learned her name and said Thanks!

2009-05-25T12:00:00.001-07:00

Everything in this world can be seen as you wish to.
Good or Bad; Simple or Complicated; Easy or Difficult.

Its not how things are; its about how you look up to them.
...and how you look up to them is all up to you.

And better times are sure to come

some time or later.

"Why shouldn't punctuality be a moral yardstick? Promptness tells me someone is more likely to be professional, respectful, reliable and considerate in our association... Soon, the "I matter more" attitude [of habitual latecomers] betrays a cavalier attitude that is hard to ignore. Absent is the recognition that it's just as difficult for others to abandon what they're doing to honor commitments - but they do."

In learning any skill, especially the skill of living a life based on loving your journey and living in the moment, there’s a three-step process to get to mastery. First you learn what you need to learn, which might be accomplished by reading the right books about the skill you aim to master. Then you need to allow the learning to settle in and integrate within your life. This happens by experiencing what you’ve learned in the laboratory of your days. That’s the ‘do’ part of the formula. Once that happens, and it might take a long time, you’ll eventually get to the ‘being’ part of your life. That’s where the masters live. They don’t try to live, they just live. And they don’t try to be fully present, they just are.

There are four stages that one must pass through in moving form living like a beginner to living like a master. The first is unconscious incompetence. Sadly this is where most people spend their lives. In this introductory stage we don’t know what we don’t know. We’re essentially unconscious- we’re asleep to who we truly are and what our lives could become. But once we open our eyes and wake up by taking some responsibility for our lives and the creation of our destinies, we rise to the second stage, which is conscious incompetence. Here, we develop a sense of awareness about what we don’t know.

“In other words, we become conscious of our incompetence in the way we run our lives. Once here, if we stay conscious and keep doing the inside work to open up, we’ll get to the next stage: conscious competence. This place is characterized by wonderful results starting to appear in life. We’re consciously creating an extraordinary existence. The only problem is that we’re still trying. There’s still struggle.”

We are consciously competent in the way we conduct our life. That’s the good place to be, but not a truly great place to live. We all should aspire to get to the final highest stage – unconscious competence. This stage in life is the stage of mastery. And it’s not about learning any longer or doing anymore – It’s simply of being.

Learn, do and then be – that’s the master’s path

Footprints

A man had a dream that he saw himself walking on a beach alongside God. Across the sky flashed various scenes from this man’s life, and for man could see two sets of footprints each scene, the man could see two sets of footprints in the sand. One set was his own and the other belonged to God.

Suddenly the man noticed something fascinating as he surveyed all the scenes of his existence: During certain times, there was only one set of footprints in the sand. And this single set of footprints only appeared during the most difficult and painful times of his life’s journey. So the man confronted God with this observation, expressing his disappointment that he was left alone when he most needed help. God lovingly explained that during the painful times, he carried the man.
