What Have You Got To Give Up?

"The caterpiller cannot crawl fast enough to fly. It has to give up those legs during its metamorphosis in order to fly."

I have seen a lot of people who have reached the plateau merely because they are not prepared to give up something for greater success. In fact you don't have to give up an arm or a leg for greater success. What you have to do is merely read a little bit more, work a little bit harder and be a little bit helpful to others.

You don't have to give up your happy hours where you can wind down your stressful day. You also don't have to give up your family as your loved ones are your source of inspiration.

Simply give up your bad habits for the good ones, the bad attitude for the positive ones and also the laziness for many structured daily activities. You bet, it's worth giving them up!

Happiness

This morning, while driving to work, I saw an elderly man walking his dog. Walking his dog is happiness.

What's happiness to you? Does making a lot of money make you happy? Ask those who are suffering from sickness, they will definitely want to trade their wealth with your health. Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. It's a day to day journey. When you are happy every single day, all these days add together, you will have a very happy life.

Happiness to me is seeing my children growing up. Seeing them passing the exams, getting into their adulthood with confidence and making me proud of them.

This evening, I met another elderly man walking on the street......a very happy man....he told me happiness is walking on the street, a few of his friends are sitting on wheelchairs.

What's happiness to you?

Do You Have An Expectation?

People with expectations are visionary, they often see the end result of their labor. They are achievers, winners and they have a purpose in life.

Do you have an expectation? An expectation of the level of your achievement by the end of the year, by the end of 5 years or even by the end of 10 years. If you don't, then you are a drifter, simply drifting aimlessly in life. Drifters are failures. They have low aims or no aim in life. Think about it, if you don't have an expectation, by the end of the year, your standard of living will not change for any better, it can only get worse.

Have an expectation and strive to reach it, will you?

Don't Let Ripples Turn Into Storm

Life is never a smooth sail, there are ups and there are downs. There are times when one falls sick, there are times when one has relationship problems, there are times when one suffers financial temporary inconveniences or suffers a financial loss. There are even times one makes dead wrong decisions. These are ripples in your life.

Don't let ripples turn into storm. Go see a doctor before one is seriously ill, go mend your relationship even there is merely a hair line crack, go straighten your financial challenges. Do not delay till these ripples turn into storm when one is no longer able to handle.

Ripples are beautiful, they spice up your life, but don't let ripples turn into storm.
