Au Revoir 2008

Few more hours to go and 2008 will leave us. Personally it's been a roller coaster year. The lows coming first before the highs. And the ugly somewhere in between. I have learned a few things, unlearn a great many things and re-learn other things.

I have no resolution for the coming year except that I intend to things differently. One thing at a time. To learn, unlearn and re-learn.

Wishing all a Happy New Year, 2009.

Abandon

You do not always have to finish what you start. If the negotiation you have entered is taking you nowhere, abandon. The ability to finish what you started will build you an awesome reputation but it may not always be profitable. A man who is successful in everything he does is a very rare . Most of us do not possess this talent and that is fact we must accept. It is better to be abandon and gather our strength to start anew.

Abandon things that does not work out is not a sign of weakness but strength.

Mental State

Be aware of your mental state. Failing to do so can cause anguish. Failing to do will make you a victim. Failing to do so can lead you to a life you did not choose.

When you are about to act on something, be aware the state of your mind. Do you really need that dress or is the feel good factor you really desire? When you about to give someone an advice-like what I am doing here- is it because you really care or are you just feeding your ego?

Be aware of the state of mind you are in and you save yourself from many pitfalls. Are you angry at the moment? Then, do not decide on anything now. The same applies when you are euphoric.

And don't react without being aware what is going through your mind. Yes, you need to decide fast but that is what you do. You decide.

Have a good day.

You Decide

Yes, that's right. Why must you let someone tell you how far you can go life? Don't ever let anyone tell you that you cannot do this, you cannot do that. Don't get me wrong, I am preaching careless abandon. But making the right choices about your life. And that responsibility is yours.

You decide what you want in your life. You decide what you must today to achieve all your dreams. Don't let your friends, your teachers, your bosses or even your parents run your life. One life, one time- that is what you got. Do it your way.

A Little Selfishness

A little selfishness is good for you. Yes, that's right.They teach us not to be selfish but really, you and I won't be here if our ancestors were not selfish. Throughout evolution, the human body had to endure various challenges and it is built to take care of itself first.

Taking care of the world is good. But take of yourself first. Saving the environment is good. But save yourself first. Whatever good they say about working together may be true, but history teaches that the fittest survives.
