Seek Wisdom
People don't become successful by chance. There are powerful beliefs that are the foundation of a person's success. Thus, we need to find out!
We know and yet we don't do something about it.
Most of us possess similiar kind of bad attitudes. We are lazy, seek pleasure, want easy way out and want short-cut.
Well, till we know what's most important thing in life that we want, we will still just hoping and waiting - Examine Yourself
Set Your Goal
There's a story about a dog that bragged about his running speed. One day he chased a rabbit, but failed to catch him. The other dogs ridiculed him. He answered: But remember, the rabbit was running for his life. He had a motive. I was just running for fun. If you're just working for fun or wages you'll never try as hard as if you're working for a deeper, longer goal.More people fail through lack of purpose than from all other causes combined.
The truest shortcut to success is to set a Goal.
Ultimate Success Formula?
Man alone, of all God's creatures, can change himself for the better.Anthony Robbins in his Personal Power II tape, says that the following are The Ultimate Success Formula:
- Know your outcome.
- Get yourself to take action by deciding to do so.
- Notice what you're getting from your actions.
- If what you're doing is not working, change your approach.
Anyway, I find it very similar to Six Sigma phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC).

Working Attitude
The richest reward from our work is not what we get out of it in wages, but what we become through it.At the start of our career, what we learn is more important than what we earn. The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work supremely well.
One overlooked success technique: doing things in the order of their importance.

Be Patient
"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it." - Arnold H. GlasgowPatience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet - sometimes a fortune builder.
First try seldom wins great success.
No one ever fails. They just quit trying. Many of our greatest men tried and failed so often they decided to quit - but tried once more - and won.
What are you telling yourself and others?
"The casual, instantaneous nature of email and SMS has heightened the potential for misdirected communication and offenders can now achieve worldwide infamy at breakneck speed." - SourceI remembered reading a true story that happened during one of the Valentine's Day. It was about a lady that happened to read an SMS that was sent wrongly to her husband when he was taking his bath.
Well, anybody can get messed up in their lives, if they continue to take actions based on invalid assumptions. We must always avoid jumping to assumptions!
“Assumptions are the termites of relationships.” - Henry Winkler
“Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.” - Alan Alda
“Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.” - Don Miguel Ruiz
"The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives." - Tony Robbins
Stephen R. Covey says, “We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.”
So let's remind ourselves that we mustn't assume anything seen or heard is the final truth. It is always better to validate and find out more first! What do you think?

Condition your mind for success
In some mysterious way the subconscious mind tends to actualize what we visualize. So, even when the roof is caving in, picture yourself as a giant success."To win a race, you must first win it in your mind."
“Great athletes train their minds as well as their bodies. There are various mental conditioning techniques many use when preparing for an event. Perhaps the best known technique is visualization, creating a mental image not only of the desired result (the gold medal, a new world record, a hole-in-one), but also of every move that will be taken en route to the ultimate goal.”
I had started another blog with this objective; that is to help you condition your mind using images or photos. For example, if you were to mimic this photo and you will feel like laughing. Try it!

Pay attention to your thinking
The wise man thinks before acting and the fool thinks after it.Whenever a man falls, it is usually at the point where he thinks he is strong.
The higher a man goes the narrower becomes his thinking. Therefore, watch out.
“A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes. Those who know how to think need no teachers.” - Mahatma Gandhi
Thought is action in rehearsal. Invest a few moments in thinking. It will pay good interest.
Every thought we think is creating our future.
A change for the better always starts with a change of thinking.

Is it really Impossible?
"What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are." - Anthony RobbinsMatch-stick is a transportable and pocketable fire. Before it was invented, people laughed at the idea just as they do if someone today suggests to have an air-conditioner of a pen size.
The Challenges that lie ahead
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” - Alan Kay
When I was a young boy, I was a huge fan of both TV series “The Six Million Dollar Man” and “The Bionic Woman”. What we can imagine we can create and indeed it has become a reality and this technology is now available. That's the Power of Imagination.
A power-line technician, Mitchell who lost both arms to a severe electric shock was the first person that gets a bionic arm.
Take a look at the presentation below where the author believes that Shift Happens.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
“The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.” - Eric Hoffer
“The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.” - Herbert Spencer
Each of us has a role that requires us to change and become more responsible for shaping our own future. What do you think? Do you agree that Shift happens as set forth by the slide presentation?

Know Your Purpose In Life
"The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives." - Albert SchweitzerEverything is created for a certain purpose.
A glass bottle is created to serve as a packaging container for wine, spirits, beverages, and personal care products. It is ridiculous if we were to use it as a hammer. A glass bottle will break into pieces if used wrongly as a hammer.
Your life too has its purpose. Without a firm idea and the purpose of life, one cannot live and would sooner destroy oneself pursuing wrong things in life.
“We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.” - Mother Teresa of Calcutta
"The meaning of life is to give life meaning." - Ken Hudgins
“Purpose is what gives life a meaning.” - Charles H. Perkhurst
“You come into the world with nothing, and the purpose of your life is to make something out of nothing” - Henry Louis Mencken
“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” - Mitch Albom
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds:
"Outstanding people have one thing in common: an absolute sense of mission." - Zig Ziglar
- Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.
- Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” - Patanjali
"Make your work to be in keeping with your purpose." - Leonardo da Vinci
What would you think of a person who used up all his life before finding out its purpose? Make very sure you have find out your purpose in life!

Develop Your Will Power
Have you seen the following videos from my Inspiring Videos blog?
After having seen the above videos, I believe you will agree with me that "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Too many develop every talent except the talent to use all other talents - Will power. In our every day tasks, we need will power to get things done. With it, many could overcome boredom, drudgery and obstacles. The most valuable education is that which trains us to do what should be done, when it should be done, whether we feel like it or not.
An ounce of will power is worth a pound of knowledge. It takes guts to leave ruts. Successful men acquire the will power to make themselves do what success demands. They do the things failures don't like to do or can't make themselves do.
"There are dozens of success traits; but will power is the tool that builds them all. To develop will power or discipline, do one useful thing every day for no other reason than that you don't feel like doing it. In my 40 years of studying psychology, that's the best exercise I've found for developing will power" - the method of Wm. James, Harvard psychologist.
Well, what ways do you employ to strengthen your will power?

We must learn to sees things in the right perspective.
For centuries, even great scientists strongly believed that the sun revolved around the earth. During that time, people thought that they are right seeing the sun rose in the east and set in the west, not knowing that they are seeing with the wrong perspective.
Perspective is not what we see, but the way we see it. We could either fail to see the forest for the trees, or forget that the forest is indeed made up of many trees if we don’t see things in the right perspective.
Let's take a look at this story:
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? It makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Let's remember to appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! Do you agree?

"There are always three sides to every story: your side, the other side, and the truth." - Anonymous
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." - Abraham H. Maslow
Let's take a look at this story:
Who is Rich and Who is Poor?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son. "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son. "So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
