Have Patience
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew. ~ Saint Francis de Sales (1567 - 1622) [Source] In this busy era, everyone is rushing all over. Sometimes, in the process of rushing, we forget. Patience is something that we lose over the time with computers gearing for faster processors and more memory added to handle the load. With faster technology, we get things done. When it comes to people, we tend to apply the ...
Where is Your Happy Place?
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. ~ Andrew Carnegie [Source] There is a Happy Place for everyone when they need some cheering up. For some, it's their warm haven; the bedroom. For others, it could be the sea whereby the sound of the waves crashing upon the sands soothes their moods and feel their emotions subsiding to a still before taking the next course of action. The Happy Place can be a state of the mind that puts us at ease and able to take up the challenges ...
What Are You Rushing For?
Over the years, many have been drawn into the corporate world in order to survive. Have enough to feed the family and perhaps a vacation once every 3 years. With the years of being trained to take the public transport and squeeze into the crowded train or bus, one might have forgotten something, or rather someone. That someone is self. Although this was posted 10 years ago on Oprah, it's still the same. Nothing has changed much. We go through the same process day after day, month after month and year after year while hoping for someone to show us a ...
How Much Time Do You Have Left to Trade for Money?
Time is money. ~ Benjamin Franklin [Source] It is critical to have money when it comes to food and basic necessities. Without money, we can't do anything, perhaps we used to be able to forage for food but with urbanisation overtaking the forests, we are left with one choice. That is to spend the money, no matter what the amount, on food and transport. The prices for food and transport are something that we have absolutely no control over. That's why we are trading our time for money by working for someone whom we may not like. It is a well-known fact ...
Are You a Zombie in Life?
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.~ Howard Thurman [Source] There is so much more to life than we see in our own world that we prefer to see. Maybe it's the mission in life that we are missing. It's amazing how game developers keep coming out with objectives to achieve in games. By playing the games, we have something to work towards. How about our lives then? What's our purpose in life? Are we walking zombies running in the rat race ...

Are You Listening?
Published on Thursday, May 29, 2008 by Optimist
In our lives, we have to listen. We listen to the teachers, lecturers, bosses, parents, mentors and friends. However, do we really listen to what they mean or do we just nod and forget about it afterwards? When a boss criticise you for not hitting the sales quota for the month, do you defe...

Quit That Bad Habit! Published on Thursday, March 27, 2008 by Optimist
While there are habits for success, we have bad habits that we want to quit such as smoking, nail biting, leaving the tap running while brushing the teeth, switching on all the lights despite needing only one (although it could be due to Achluophobia) and many others. While it may n...
