Enjoy Reading

Reading leads you to a well of knowledge.

You may not have a chance to travel and be exposed to vast cultures across the globe.
But reading can bring you to wherever you wish to go.

You may not have lived during important times in history.
But reading can turn back the clock and put you in the era you hope you had seen.

Your personal insights on specific aspects of life and sciences may be one-sided.
But reading can widen your horizon and remove your doubts.

Caution: Be careful on what you read! Not everything's gold. Some are rubbish.
Learn to assess which will lead you to grow.

Inner Peace

I just watched Kung Fu Panda 2 and these lines struck me:

"You've got to let go of the past 'coz it doesn't matter anymore.
What's important is to have inner peace now."

Wounds heal; scars fade away...

If you still don't have peace...
then, try at least envisioning you'll have it...
and so, off you've started to your road of peace.

Consistency

Consistency ... Predictability ... Dependability ... Integrity
These are all interconnected.

They make life stable for you and for others.

Of course, there'd be bits of holes ...
But what's important is a firm bigger whole.

Lights

As we acquire the habit to think through,
lights will start to shine - like diamonds that sparkle in the dark.
Catch them and learn to ponder...
they're treasures - great thoughts leading you to a path.
MATURITY - that's how it's defined.

Happy Thoughts

Anger, resentments, hurts, anxieties, doubts, fears ...
These are negative thoughts ... Dismiss them!

Gratitude, peace, love, serenity, service, hope ...
These are happy thoughts ... Choose them!

Sensing

Changes normally do not reveal or announce themselves.
One's got to be "SENSING" to match the rate of change happening around.

That means...
- constantly scanning the environment;
- being open-minded to catch opportunities;
- seeking to understand to get deep insights;
- being critical and conscious of weaknesses;
- seeing what others can't see as basis for innovation.

Sounds like a business feasibility study?
But, it's applicable to other "businesses" as well.

Timeline

My professor said, "An objective without a timeline is just a wish."

Have a schedule. A daily one would be good. If you could do it by the hour, better.

It's not about being scrupulous...it's about time management.

Accounting of time will make you see you can actually gain more time.

You'll also achieve more at a serene pace.

Don't rely on chance or luck... That's kinda "iffy."

Important - make realistic timelines and factor in your capacity. If not, you're gonna go crazy.

Support

There are days when your baggage seems heavier.
Times when you wake up with big boulders before you.

The thunder rules and the house is rattled.
There are lots of fears to be battled.

Seek support. Hang on. Don't let go.
Let someone stronger lift and hold you.

A whisper in the darkness - "Take one step at a time."
'Til you see the sparks at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks to the good guide and the big support!
