".....Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." - Buddha

We can not continue only praying to God, but not doing anything to be Christians

The world is a great liar. It shows you it worships and admires money, but at the end of the day it doesn't. It says it adores fame and celebrity, but it doesn't, not really. The world admires, and wants to hold on to, and not lose, goodness. It admires virtue. At the end it gives its greatest tributes to generosity, honesty, courage, mercy, talents well used, talents that, brought into the world, make it better. That's what it really admires. That's what we talk about in eulogies, because that's what's important. We don't say, "The thing about Joe was he was rich." We say, if we can, "The thing about Joe was he took care of people."

An addiction is an *activity* or a *substance* a person uses to *avoid* dealing with *uncomfortable* thoughts or feelings that need to be faced.

Mrs Smith, do you have happy family?

Oh, YES! I have three sons and great husband!

Where are they now?

My youngest son John is now in Iraq
My second son Mike is now in Iran
My oldest son Bill is now in Georgia.

Where are your husband, Mrs Smith?

He is travelling around the world with the lecture:  "Stop Russia from invasion  to other countries"

How did we get to be a world built around a sense of entitlement? So many of us want a great career and a gorgeous life but we're not willing to unleash the creativity/self-discipline and self-sacrifice to get there. I deeply believe that you can have so much of what you dream of having. The question isn't can you get there but are you willing to do what you need to do to arrive that your mountaintop?

Makes me think of an elite athlete, say Michael Jordan. He'd be up at dawn doing his drills and training his body/mind/character to get to remarkable. It's expected that an athlete who wants to win needs to get up early, train, eat superbly and condition their mind. But when it comes to businesspeople, getting up early and devoting ourselves to self-improvement and doing our "drills" doesn't seem as important. I fiercely believe it is. Success doesn't just show up via luck. It's created. By hard work.

cited from RS’s blog

"If you can't handle the truth, don't ask. Make up your own, like everybody else."

I believe that the purpose of life is twofold: first, we have a human duty to discover who we truly are and access our highest abilities (self-actualization). Second, once we discover who we truly are I believe we have an obligation to present our gifts to the world in a way that adds value to the human beings around us. So, step one in fulfilling your life’s purpose is to understand that the doorway to success does not open outward but inward. In other words, the first step to claiming your destiny is to begin the journey of discovering your best self.

Less is More from Robin Sharma's Blog

The person who does too much accomplishes very little. Less is more. The most effective people in business (and life) have the discipline (and brilliance) to focus on doing just a few things spectacularly well.

Just home from a speaking engagement for a large group of project managers. One of the insights I offered was that the best amongst us (the Picassos, the Edisons, the Disneys) were specialists. They found their dream, detailed it with striking clarity and then, while the rest of the world tries to be all things to all people, they woke up every day and focused on doing one thing.

Less is more. You can actually be more productive doing fewer things. Please think about that. As Peter Drucker said: "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently, that which should not be done at all."

Your thunking creates your reality

The degree of success that you achieve in business will ultimately come down to the degree of depth of your conversations. Business is, essentially, nothing more than a conversation. If you lose the conversation with your customers, you will eventually lose the business. And if you lose the conversation with your teammates, you will eventually lose the business. And if you stop engaging in personal conversations with yourself through silent reflection, eventually your business life will suffer. The more you can keep engaging in thoughtful and stimulating conversations with all those you surround yourself with, the more you will find the business success you deserve as well as the personal satisfaction that is your birthright. The primary block to us having necessary conversations at work is technology. While technology is a wonderful servant, in many instances it has become our master. Rather than walking down the hall to have a "belly to belly" conversation with a member of our team, we fire off an e-mail. Rather than making the time to have a lunch with a valued customer to further deepen our relationship, we leave a voicemail to save ourselves time. All this reliance on technology severs our human connections and human connections are the primary driver of business growth. People love doing business with people who care about them. People love doing business with people they trust.

There are three types of people:


1) First are those that make things happen.
2) Second are those that watch things happen.
3) And third are those people who wake up one  day, at the end of their lives, and ask "What Happened?"
