We all have decisions to make, there is only one thing that separates most of us. The ability to make fearless decisions even if we are not sure we are absolutely right. This is because if a decision is proven to be the right one, then making it is easy, anyone could do it. The thing that differentiates the dream taker and the normal person is the courage to make decisions in situations that no one could guaranteed that it is the right one to make.

 
Consider this:
Courage is rightly …

Once you admit life that life is difficult, then it no longer matters about barriers we will sometimes meet in life, what matters is to make better choices when we come across them. Some people have thought that the best way to live is to abide their whole life by their principles and never yielding away from them. Inflexible in the choices they make to different situations, but that only applies if we are the same person…isn’t it?
Life changes…people change…we change…we know that but seldom admit. Who you were …

I would think that in life, many people’s idea of a dream life they hope to live is a glamorous one, having their personal chauffeurs, private jets and again, the fast cars and big houses. Their perfect day may include much of the above. When I was younger, I used to think that was what I was aiming for too, it would make me feel powerful, wouldn’t it? Yes, it did felt to be that way at that time. But my concept and view of life changed the day …

We have each built an invisible wall of defence around us to protect ourselves against those who might do harm or take advantage of our vulnerability, and even worse, do harm to those we love and care for. This natural instinct which have built up over the years, is good to an extend for it gives us a sense of protection, that we are able to protect ourselves. However, this invisible wall not only blocks out other people, it inevitably blocked out ourselves from others too. There are definitely …

In every journey we take, small or great, there is always a beginning. Sometimes, it signifies the end of the previous journey and the beginning of a new one. While for many others, it appears to be just a different version of a journey which was already taken in the past. A journey which lessons we have already learnt and are comfortable with.
Each of us have much to teach with the experience we have gone through but many are not willing to share. Why is that so? What …

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I …

What if someone told you that you will never make it in life? How would you feel? I made this video earlier this year but have never really shown it to anyone because I wasn’t ready emotionally. In my life, I am blessed by many people and friends who truly believed in me, some believed in my abilities and many whom we trusted each other as friends wishing the best for each other and there are some who looked up to me because they have seen what I could do. …

The online world tends to expose a part of human nature which is less apparent than in face to face conversations. It seems that in the online world, 7 out of 10 times when someone tries to befriend you, they are trying to sell you something which they claim can help you, the most being becoming more successful. I would think that it is actually quite good that they are offering to help people in areas they think might help them but when people step over the line, it …

For much of my life, I have followed the advice of what is deemed to be the “correct” knowledge. To not expose our weaknesses to others and to focus on our strengths, show a strong front to other people even if it means wearing a mask. That is how I imagined many have chosen to live their lives and so did I.

It was good advice. If people have wanted to get a job or higher position in a company, they have to focus on their strengths and when interviewed about …

 
Mike from Techcrunch (one of the top blogs in the World) mentioned in his post "I’m Sorry Robert, But It’s Time For A Friendfeed Intervention" in which he commented about Robert of Scoleizer (another great blog) for concentrating too much Twitter and Friendfeed instead of concentrating on his blog. Robert’s blog seems to be suffering from a less than frequent number of posts as compared to the past. So what are the points they made and what can we learn from their "battle"? It’s time to find out! Let’s …

Many of us strive to achieve great things and also believe that happiness can be found once we have achieved it. Some might think, if I get that promotion, that car or that house, they would have found the happiness that they are seeking to get over the lousy feeling they are currently feeling. Not really and this is why.

Krishanmurti whose book, "Think on these things" appears to have rightly pointed out that happiness cannot be "found". This is because happiness is a by product of meaning that …

Do you have someone you consider a pest in your office? The time stealer who wants to tell you about the party he or she just went the day before, the trip he is planning this weekend and even the cat next door which gave birth to three kittens? The result is a lost of time, concentration and to your horror, you have to work OVERTIME because you can’t finish your work on time. Here’s how to cancel them out.
The Beginning of all Troubles: The longer you allow the office …
