Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room, he asked," Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said," I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. Then he asked again, " Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, " What if i do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoes.

He picked it up, now all cumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

Moral of the story: Many times in our lives, we dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are unique, you are special.

It's New Year 2011

It appears many people out there are really happy about the end of year 2010. So, what about you?

So, are you ready for 2011 yet? What are your intentions for this new year? Year 2010 has come and gone, here's a chance for everyone of us to start fresh all over again and make another year better. Put it all in the past and look forward in the future. What's done has been done, what's gone has long gone. Life is too short for us to look backward and regret mistakes that we have done. Be pleased that the mistakes have been done so that we could learn from then. That's how all of us are going to make this year a better year, right?

I guess, most of us already have a new year resolution. Looking at 2011, the word that keeps coming to my mind is "hardworking." Most of the people keep recalling back what they've done last year to make this year better. Well, honestly I have nothing much to talk about my 2010 because there weren't much achievement that I've done throughout the whole year. Therefore, I've set a goal to make this year a little bit different; which is - to be "hardworking." Although not many resolutions, "hardwork" is one vital point for me to strive this year - it's the key to all initiatives and success. Good ideas without hardwork - or effort to make it happen is merely a thought.

So, what's your resolution for this year?

People always says, the hardest part of anything is the beginning. Starting something new is like getting an airplane of the ground. It takes a lot of efforts and focus to plan it all over again. But what we can do is to have trust and faith in ourselves. Secondly, to be confident and disciplined. Set a goal, get focused, not only to reach them but push it to success, and then set new ones. Similar as mentioned earlier, we believe every single thing in life has to be paid tremendous effort to get something in return. Time is no more waiting, are you ready yet?

Well.... we shall see then.

Wish everyone of you here, happy new year.

Good luck!
