Something To Ponder

Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man’s greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety.

John Kenneth Galbraith


All Motivation is self motivation. Your family, your boss or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.

Seth Godin

“Competition is easier to accept if you realize it is not an act of aggression or abrasion. I’ve worked with my best friends in direct competition. Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it”.

Diane Sawyer : In a speech.


When you let someone else win an argument, often you both end up winners. If one of my children says, “you never spend any time with me,” my impulse might be responds, “but I spends lots of time with you. Don’t you remember just yesterday we went out to lunch?” what I have found, however is that my willing participation in the argument does nothing more than keep it alive by feeding with attention. Sometimes a better response is, “you’re right. I hope we’ll start spending more time together. I love you so much.”

Richard Carlson. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff with Your Family

As a child, a library card takes you to exotic, faraway places. When you’re grown up, a credit card does it.
 Sam Ewing

People are pretty much alike. It’s only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.

Linda Ellerbee

There are 40 kinds of lunacy, but only one kind of common sense.

African Proverb

You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.

The importance of having right mindset….

Got it from a website, and share it here. These are quotations from famous people about hard work and perseverance and of course the right mind set.  It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." ~ Bill Gates "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big." ~ Donald Trump "The last thing that people want to hear is the plain simple fact that the rich think differently [about money] than the poor ... They have what I call a wealthy mindset." ~ Robert G. Allen "If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If your money works for you, you keep and control the power." ~ Robert T.

2012

My 2012 has been a great year to me, and for that I am really thankful to Allah. There has been ups and downs and each one of it has been very meaningful to me. I started 2012 with a new place of work. The task become easier compare to the last my place of work. Less demanding and less pressure. But well, each place has it own problems. I encounter mine. But I take it lightly because it is not the problem that can caused me to feel angry. Instead the problem has shown me that I actually have issue with people. Then,turn out what I have to do is to just smile, ignore and do what I think is right. Do not bother what people think, as long as I do my work passionly and I try to be friend with them.

Settle for minimal

This week, two of my friends, decided to start diet and out of sudden, I want to follow. So, starting this week, my nad my friends haven't touch rice. Well, I have eat rice twice, but my friend, zero. Ohh, dietting is so hard, but weirdly, I felt more energetic. I guess I'm going to stick with it so that I can achieve my dream boy. Jnegjengjeng. I cannot believe I talked about this because usually, I think it impossible to cut down on eating because I think I don't eat much. But still, I'm consider as fat. What I discover during this period is that I can still live goodly eventhough with lack of the things that I used to have. I'm kind a person who wants everything is there, is enough and I will be panic if my stuff is not enough and turn out its bad habit. I always ended up throw things at the end. Now, I wanted to live on a basic things. I think that will be good because I could save more and hopefully tae off same fat off my body. ;)
