Have you ever seen someone complain about a parking ticket as if it’s the end of the world?
Have you been cut off in traffic and let it ruin your whole day?
How many times have you let your experience at the airport (crying baby, delayed flight, missing luggage) be the first thing you bring up in conversations with friends?

I want you to repeat after me: “these things happen”.

We all have these types of events come up in life, but successful people just go on as if nothing has happened, and unsuccessful people let it derail them.

The next time you feel a surge of anger coming on over an insignificant event in your life, go over these points in your head: Continue Reading

While skimming through my RSS feeds, I always grab bits and pieces that illustrates ideas that I don’t know how to express it and write it. Just like this one about creating a better experience and how to be innovative in any aspect of the world:

In 2007, a company named Pure Digital released the Flip Video camera. It has quickly become the best selling video camera on Amazon.com. It has captured 13% of the video camera market in just a few months.

How does a product from an unheard-of company come to challenge an industry dominated by established big players, such as Sony, Panasonic, and Canon? It’s simple. Create a better experience.

Someone asked Confucius, ‘what surprises you most about mankind?’
Conficius answered, ‘they lose their health to make money and then lose money to restore their health. By thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present,such that they live neither for the present nor the future and they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived…’

This was written by a guy … it’s pretty damn smart.

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, ‘I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.’

I said, ‘WHAT??!! What was that?!’

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear…

‘You’re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.’

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, ‘Can’t you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?’

If you cannot follow all 40 steps, even a few are worth following. These are really very powerful. Implement whatever you can.

1. Take a 10-30
minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.

3. Buy a DVR, tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My purpose is to__________ _ today.’

5. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. (Enjoy with 3R’s club) Continue Reading

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value.

I’m not really sure who wrote this since I received it from a friend via email. I must say that it did make me stop and reflect on how we approach our own work with goals of trying to earn money online quickly.
Stop, read, pause and reflect – I hope you enjoy this:

It’s been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working
for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here
takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and
brilliant. It’s a rule. Continue Reading

We’ve all heard the fairy-tales about the prince kissing the princess, but the story just ends there; they both live happily ever after, riding off into the sunset, never to be seen again. But in real life, that’s just the beginning of the story—after the kiss and the sunset comes the hard work and the real relationship. Continue Reading
