Bite Sized Life Lessons

On modern days, people just keep busy and busy. They work while eating, add more time on work, skip time for family, refuse friends' gathering, do not give their body refreshment, not exercising, and eventually they don't know what they are doing. Trust me, I have been there. I thought that if I work more, I will get more. I hoped that by working more, I will have a "more" better future. I think that is people usually think. That is NOT RIGHT. Why? Because you mislook something, you ignore it as if it has no value compare to money or achievements. What is it? It is HEALTHINESS, LOVE & HAPPINESS. Health is very important. Without healthy body, you cannot WORK RIGHT. Without love & happiness, same as you live like robot, life WITHOUT PURPOSE. Hard working is not all about working. It needs a lot of efforts to maintain your health, it needs energy and time to nurture friendship, you need to work out your happiness. That is HARD WORKING. Change your mi

Life is like ocean. First wave will be overrolled by second and second will be overlapped by third and so on. What I want to talk on this post right now is what is the best legacy we can give to our children. Every parents love their children, worry and try their best to make their children's future to be easier and better than themselves'.

We, as a human, tend to follow our parents' steps. My parents prepare me to take their business. They have networks on their field, they have loyal customers, and they also have simple (I called it simple because it is still traditional and unrefined) administration system. Yes, all I need to make it run is already there. I appreciate it, yes I really do. But here are the problems : 1. Economy and Resources' Problems. Economy conditions keep changing. Our bu

If you have read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, you know the answer : the 10,000 hours rule. But the problem is practice that much time only is not enough. Photo Credit :  874791 via photopin   (license) The 10,000 hours rule concept was introduced in academic circles in the early 1970s, and was popularized by Malcolm in his 2008 book. That's approximately 20 hours a week for 10 years. If you want to be a world class performer, this cannot be avoided. Every greatest man on this world got through this, no matter how talented or genius you are, you will not become the best on the world without live through vigorous training before you show yourself to the world. Even Ernest Hemingway did it, Van Gough had drawn countless drawing before making a contemporary painting we enjoy today. And maybe you already know, Michael Jordan trained himself a lot of freethrows and numerous core training everyday before he becomes a legend. But, it won't make any different, if you

Have you ever on circumstances which you don't know exactly what happen, but your brain / feeling just say that isn't right? How a businessman know that their new products will sell or not through their instinct? Or when you meet something that endanger you, your head suddenly give you signal to avoid that? photo credit: Walt Disney concert hall - Los Angeles, United States - Black and white street photography via photopin (license) On this post, let me share with you a real story of a fire fighter's experience in Cleveland. He was received a routine call to take out fire in the back of one story house, in the kitchen. He and his team came in from the front door, laid the hose to the kitchen then sprayed water on it. But it was so strange, fire wasn't abated. Then they sprayed water again. Still, it was not make any difference. The team decided to retreat back to the living room and tried to figure out what happened and what should be done. Suddenly, fire

Doing nothing but give you more? Isn't it counter productive? Yes, if you completely do nothing in your life, but that is not what I want to write on blog post here. It is more to do with doing nothing for your healthy inner self. Photo Credit:  After 10km trail, a rest.  via  photopin   (license) We, human beings, aren't robots. Even machines need their own off times. That's the idea. You need it. It is not only normal rest, I know people's definition of rest on these days are watching tv, playing games, surfing internet, and anything that have correlation with technologies. I tried it myself recently, I turned off my handphone, I backed off from my computer, and I didn't watch tv. What did I do then? I did nothing. Breathed. Watched the best movie on the world (real life) outside of window. It is best if you can go to park and enjoy the world. Forget about your jobs, forget your to do list for a bit, do nothing. When you do it, feel your body rela

In order to lift your life to greatness or just make it better, you need to "upgrade" your communication skills. A lot of things happen around you is depend to others. You sell things to others, you finish big project by collaborating with others, you have more fun if you go out with others, you build a family with others (obviously 😁), etc. Almost everything on life, you communicate with other human being. That is why it is important. Don't ever think that you can survive being alone, at least if you want to live a good life, you can't. So I suggest that give yourself time to socialize. Here is 5 steps to be a better communicator, so you can elevate every aspects of your life : #1 - Overcome Fear of Anti Socializing This first step is only for someone who is anti social type guy / girl. Believe me, I was a shy and anti social type guy. Back then, I always had this strange feeling when I met with other human being who isn't a member of m
