If the past has taught us anything it is that every cause brings its effect, every action has a consequences. The Chinese have a saying, “if a man plants melon he will reap melons. If he sows beans, he will reap beans. And this is true of every one’s life, good begets good and evil leads to evil. True enough, the sun shines on the saint and the sinner alike, and too often it seems that the wicket prosper. But we can say with certainty that, with the individual as with the nation, the flourishing of the wicket is an illusion, for, unceasingly life keeps, books on us wall. In the end, we are all the sum total of our actions. Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be put on and cast off as if it were a garment to meet the whim of the moment. Like the markings on wood which are ingrained in the very heart of the tree, character requires time and nurturing for growth and development. Thus also, day by day, we write our own destiny, for inexorably we become what we do.

It so hard, it seem like I’m cannot deserve to be happy. I cannot control my emotion. I prefer to be alone than to be with people. I felt lo...

By Catherine Pulsifer Imagine failing over and over again. How would you feel? Would you continue? What would your attitude be? There is one person who failed many times, yet he went on to invent the light bulb. That person? Thomas Edison . The following quote answers all of the above questions: "Results! Why man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work." Many of us give up when we fail. We allow an attitude of defeat to take over. Over the years whenever I failed or made a mistake, I always thought of Thomas Edison, of his achievements but more so of his attitude. Read the following quotes and I think you will see a reflection of a man who had a positive attitude, a man who persevered and didn't let mistakes stop him. "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is ...

One of the blog that I always look on since I start blogging is about debt free blog. It’s by a blogger name Amy Bass and somehow she inspired me to work online to earn extra money through internet. Amy wanted to earn money online in order to pay her debt, and she managed to do that faster than she expect. Wow, incredible. I’m no near her achievement, as I’m struggling. I do have a good and stable job, but to pay my debt, I won’t be able to do so in ten years time. I don’t want to be stuck with debt forever. Sometimes when I feel frustrated with earning online because it totally hard, not as what people say it to be, I will look at my loan statement and immediately I feel the need to work harder to pay it off. I ahd to do it because I know in the near future, there will be more loan I need to do. I want to buy a house, fix my parents house and so many other things that I wanted to do and all of it cost money. Sometimes I do wish I was rich. I remember once, my nephew asked my father ‘ ...

Something that I read from warriorforum and want to share it here. Very nice reading Author Michael Jeffreys personally interviewed 15 top motivational gurus in 1997 for his then upcoming book. After talking to gurus from Brian Tracy to Dr. Wayne Dyer, he distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed upon. These secrets are still good today and are as follows: 1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – In a society where people blame everything from their parents to the government for failure, those who don’t buy into this mentality or succumb to the “victim” thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality. 2. Live Your Life On Purpose - What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe they’re doing what they were put her to do. The difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just getting thr...
