Life is a complex blend of happiness and sadness. At one time, we are happy and the next, we may be sad.
However, to reflect clearly, it all comes from our relative comparisons and expectations.
We think that we are unfortunate in some instance. But is it really true?
By comparing to a “better” person, we are unfortunate. But if we set our reference to one that is worst, are we fortunate?
Thus, our mind calls the shot. We select how we feel
If we are physically ill, do we give up and let nature takes it course?
Cancer, stroke or heart problems are common nowadays.
How do we deal with it? Brighten up or dim off?
Help is always at hand and provided we are keen to know the issue.
Self-improvement is a continuous process regardless of mental or physical state.
I am lucky to know of a person, Jackie Clark, who has enlightened me on the issue of cancer.
It sort of waked me up to the relative state we are constantly in.
Here I present to you her sharing on how a cancer diagnosis changes a person's life.
How a Cancer Diagnosis Changes a Person's Life
By: Jackie Clark
Cancer is a disease that people do not truly understand unless it happens to them. Every year, there are millions of people who hear the scary words "you have cancer." Prostate, breast, colon and cervix are some of the most common forms of cancer being diagnosed today. Mesothelioma is one of the least common forms of cancer, but the number of people being diagnosed with has increased drastically in the past few years. The mesothelioma life expectancy is only about eighteen months, but the prognosis depends greatly on the patient.
People who have cancer are afraid because they do not know what their future holds. They do not know whether they will be able to do the things they once enjoyed. Cancer patients do not even know if they will wake up the next morning. Loved ones of a cancer patient are also affected. Sadly, cancer does not just affect the patient but others around them as well. Losing a friend, spouse, mother, father or child is a pain that cannot be described. Those who are close to someone who has cancer worry constantly about their loved one.
People who have cancer have to endure months and perhaps years of painful treatments. Cancer also causes hair and weight loss, which can make a person feel self-conscious. Many cancer patients also feel guilty because they feel as though they are being a burden to their family and friends.
There is no way that the pain of a cancer diagnosis can be taken away. However, one of the things that cancer patients can do that can potentially be beneficial is seeing a life coach. Life coaches are trained professionals who help people deal with the challenges of life. Life coaches can help cancer patients overcome depression. They can also help the patients develop a more positive self-image. The family members of cancer patients can also potentially benefit from life coaching. The benefits of a life coach seem never ending. The guidance and insight these professionals provide truly help cancer patients and their family members heal both physically and mentally.
People who have heard the devastating words "you have cancer" know that their lives will never be the same. Cancer patients, face a world of uncertainty, but fortunately they do not have to go down that road alone. Family members, friends and life coaches are available to help people go through that terrifying ordeal.
:-) Count your blessings.

Is Problems Useful?
*
Ever heard of Problem-based learning?
It implies some usefulness in having problems.
Everyone dread problems. It irritates.
We are all human, and human tends to aim for comfort.
Problems forces us to re-evaluate our thinking and concept.
Problems disturb the norm and smooth-flowing of process.
So how do you perceive it as useful when it has so many negative impact psychologically?
There is no hard and fast rule of re-looking at problems.
They have to be felt.
They have to be experienced.
One good way is to reflect on the final outcome after encountering problems.
Do they improve your performance?
Do they change your mindset or thinking for the better?
Do they force you to be more hardworking to explore new areas?
Or do they simple demoralise you?
Balance the positive and the negative impacts they do to you.
My bet is that they improve more than wack you down!
Problems are here to stay whether we like it or not.
It will come back and "remind" you of any wrong-doings.
Probems are not brakes in life. Problems are guidelines.
They align your directions when you deviates unknowingly.
They recall you back, in a harsh way.
To reduce your anxiety towards them, see them as aids than foes.
Be aware that they improve situations.
They disturbs because we, as humans, have mental inertia.
Not that they are of no good.
Change your mindset towards problem and you will definitely see a brighter and cheerful you.
Try it, and experience it.
It wil not be immediate.
Give yourself some time over a defined period of time.
Be consistent and alert to its goodness.
Seek for the learning points in problems.
Treat them well
and you will treat yourself well.
Cheers

Solving Problems With a New Mindset
*
Have you ever tried solving a sticking problem but went round and round without clearing the issue?
It makes you angry, right?
I bet!
But do not despair. It may be due to the approach that you applied.
When you encounter a problem, it is normally because your concept or technique is wrong or inappropriate.
When you use back the same mindset to solve the problem, you are actually using back the wrong tools that created the problem.
Maintaining the same level of mindset is also another mistake you made.
Holding back to the same level to solve the issue cannot allow you to see the issue at an elevated platform.
Sometimes, you need to stand higher up to link up a bigger picture before you can actually notice the error or loophole within.
Changing your mindset and its level to resolve issue is key to improving yourself.
Linking steps before and around the current situation is a skill that is needed to have a smooth and systematic approach to problem-solving.
Be aware that there are always many other ways to look at a problem.
Be flexible and look at things from many angles.
You will, then, find that solving problems an enjoyable challenge.
Cheers and many problem-solving! :)

Individual Strength In Us
'
Have you ever looked and compared yourself with others?
It is human nature to do that. But after comparing, what is the impact?
Do you feel good when you learned that your reference is better?
Everyone will not feel good, I suppose.
Does that make you inferior?
It depends on how you see this matter.
We all have individual strengths, as well as weakness.
No one is inferior. It is only the area or scope of comparison.
You may be less capable in one field but competent in another.
The main issue is that sometimes we do not know that.
Thus, exposure to many areas will increase our chance to discover this hidden talents of ours.
Knowing this fact that we have our own individual strengths will lead us to a better future.
The reverse of focusing on the weakness will be doomsday-imminent!
Stay positive and strive forge. We have our own usefulness in society.
Just discover them and apply what is necessary.
And do not forget to self-improve.
Improving oneself is key in this fast pace and ever-changing society.
Finally, know that we have a choice. Choose the better option. Choose the appropriate mindset.
We are the best we want ourselves to be.

Your Effort Is Yours To Keep
Have you put in much effort and wonder who will really appreciate it?
How do you feel when nobody knows of the hard work put in by you?
Do you work hard for others or yourself?
To make it clear, and also to please yourself, any little effort put in by you yourself is treasure.
This little effort came from the heart and soul within you. Nobody will know that!
Even when they are aware, they will forget after a period of time.
The only person who will remember the precious effort for a long time is you yourself.
But this is provide it is genuinely yours.
To come out some work, you need in-depth thinking and planning. They may not be complex thoughts, but simple little ideas. But they take effort and clearing mental inertia.
Only you yourself will truly understand the "hardship" pumped in.
Therefore you are the only one who will really appreciate your own effort.
Thus, any effort is yours to keep, and treasure.
:-) Stay happy.

Self-Improvement | Doing for Your Good
In this era of fast pace, high demanding life style, we are super robots to cater to many "wishes".
The "wishes" may come from our boss (if not only one), spouse, kids, colleagues, strangers, customers, and many more.
The constant demand to keep up with learning can be stressful at times.
"Why am I doing this?" is the common question residing behind the back of our mind.
"Have I to learn this?" is another popular question too.
The boss wants this and the customers want that.
The desire to satisfy the wants of people becomes meaningless if done improperly.
The proper way to think and handle this issue is to be clear of why we are doing this!
Whatever we learn, we learn it for ourselves.
It is to enable us to stay useful to society, especially in times of recession.
It allows us to contribute actively to our work and environment.
We are doing it for ourselves. We gain the value.
We feel complete.
We do not do it for our boss, and neither for others.
We learn to serve others through being productive and adding value.
We can do that only when we gain knowledge and skills.
It should be inner to external in approach.
The mindset should be to constantly improve and stay relevant.
This is the only guarantee for our meaningful stay on earth.
Do you agree?

Purpose of Self-Improvement
When you are a kid, you attend school to be taught new knowledge and skills.
When you are a grown-up, you base on the self-learning skill picked up in school to continue with upgrading.
Why do you keep on learning, even without a teacher?
Is it for money or power?
Is it for fame?
All the above may be true.
But what actually is the intrinsic reason for your motivation to better yourself?
It gives you a sense of living on this earth.
A sense that you understand the surrounding happenings.
Why does the sun rises and set?
Why does rainbow form after rain?
How does bacteria comes about?
How does plant grows?
How does electricity flow in a circuit board?
What are marbles make of?
Why are some people more nasty than others?
Knowing more information gives you ability to talk or chat with others, and share your views.
You are able to interact positively. It gives you social attachment.
Learning and improving yourself make you a "person", compared to a zombie.
The more you learn, the more you experience, whether through the hard way of making mistakes or smooth sailing.
You pass on the skills to younger generation for them to add value to existing.
You make the world move on by contributing through self-improvement.
With regards to rewards, they will come naturally (sooner or later).
Even when the rewards are little, the true rewards are the satisfaction of living well and proper.
The reward of seeing people you share knowledge smile is a big enough motivation to pick up new things.
Real improvement is internal and has to be initiated with good intention.
The purpose of self-improvement, is thus, to make the world a better place to live in.
Have a nice, happy stay. Cheers to self-improvement!

Avoidance Mindset
It is human nature to avoid difficulties when given the chance.
We will find all sorts of excuses to cover our fears and weaknesses.
If there is a shortcut to get way or solve the issue, we will go for it.
We avoid problems!
However, are we doing ourselves a disservice?
Yes, we fear trouble.
We may not be able to face the consequences of failure.
We dare not accept the fact that we are weak. It affects our pride and confidence.
But, honestly, speaking, what do we get out of avoiding?
The answer is that we stay put. Status quo. No progress.
To move forward and accept whatever challenge that we face is in the long run, good for us.
We are moving closer to a better us. We may not reach it in one step, or in one assigned task or project.
But we are at least closer than if we avoid it totally.
We are improving at whatever pace, if we do not avoid the challenge.
Be brave and strive ahead in the name of self-improvement.
We will be happier in the end.

Loving Yourself
Self-inflicted injuries means not loving yourself.
Why cause harm to yourself?
Don't you treasure yourself?
The injuries may not be physical but emotional.
Self-blame can cause injuries to your soul.
It is damaging. With constant blaming, you will spiral downwards.
Love yourself.
If you have tried your best, you will fully understand that whatever failure that follow suit can not be excused.
Even if others do not accept your excuse, you are the best person to accept it yourself.
No one is better in understanding you than yourself.
If you have your reason for doing a particular thing, you are the best person to know why.
No words can clearly express what you think.
Therefore, love yourself and take care of yourself.
You are the only one in the world. The are no TWO you.
As long as you think you are sincere and good in doing, praise yourself. No need for others to chip in. It will only be a bonus if they do that.
Having this mindset will enable you to love yourself well, independent of external factors.
In this way, you will strive to improve and treasure yourself more.

Better Late Than Never
"Better Late Than Never".
This is a common saying that informs us of the importance of being there.
As long as you are not there, you will not be able to obtain first-hand information.
While the reverse, even when you are late, you can at least be better off than those who did not even turn up.
In life, this principle applies.
Do not think that when you are old, everything does not matter.
It still does!
Everything in this world moves and changes fast.
Staying stagnant means not being able to capture the latest.
Your kids will stay away from you.
Your grandson will avoid you.
Why?
You are out of synchronising with them.
They will find it hard to talk with you.
They live in a different era from you when you stay put.
For work-wise, technologies and way of working changes. Expectation changes.
Dare you stay still? You must be a hero! An extinct hero if you are.
Go for self-improvement!
Keep moving, mentally, even when you are slow. At least you are not far back.
Remember the race between the hare and tortoise.
With perseverance, the tortoise can still win the hare.

Laziness and Arrogance Are NO! NO!
This is a simple message,
"Our world does not reward laziness and arrogance."
In fact, it has a way to punish those who aim for them.
Being hardworking is a good virtue of life. You will get rewards ultimately, even though the results may not be immediate. This is a known fact, but always slipping out of the mind of the lazies.
Being arrogance is equally bad. By having this attitude, you are mentally preparing yourself for laziness and avoidance of challenges ahead. Your mind starts to slog.
What happens when you become casual in the thinking?
The answer is very simple. Things will begin to lose control and collapse.
If your watchdog system is in place, you will have hope to recover the disaster, otherwise, good luck!
Thus, it is good that you keep being hardworking in whatever matter you deal with. Stay humble to others and self. You will definitely move in the correct path to a better and successful life.
Bravo00000O!

It's Not About Winning
People do like to win and hate to lose. This is human nature.
Through winning, we feel GREAT and wonderful.
Through winning, we find the confidence to move on.
There are many stories about winning.
Court cases, sports, examinations, lotteries are examples we are familiar with.
But do we REALLY need to win?
Is it a must so that others will take notice of us?
Is it an important ingredient for self-improvement?
The true fact is that winning is just an indication of success on the surface.
Winning has an underlying purpose.
The purpose of exceeding expectations, whether self-imposed or otherwise.
Sometimes, being the last person in a race has better exposure than the first competitor.
If the last person has given what it takes, no matter what happens along the way, if he completes the race, he has fulfilled the mission, and that is the true spirit of any event.
It is not the positioning that counts. It is the effort and the strength to complete the race that counts. It is the relative jump in exceeding the norm that matters ( and that causes surprises).
It is how you win. It is how you exceeded expectations.
You can be the winner even in the last position.
Think about it.

Being Useful
What is the purpose of learning so much?
Wouldn't it be better if we can just relax and enjoy the day as it flows by?
Wouldn't life be simpler if we can choose to do what we like and ignore those that we are not able to handle?
Why keep up with the latest?
Why self-improve?
Self-improvement comes about to serve a meaningful objective.
This objective is to make our stay on this very Earth purposeful, before we call our end for the last time.
Being useful is the key word.
Why come to this world to do nothing meaningful?
Having the attitude to learn and pick up new skill and knowledge continuously, is a good virtue and habit that anyone should inculcate in themselves.
There are many things in this world that we can discover that suit our behaviour and aptitude. Explore them and choose whichever we like. Make ourselves useful!
On learning and mastering the new skill, we can contribute. We can contribute in any which way that improves life. This makes us feel wonderful; wonderful for a deserving life.
Thus self-improvement is not for fun.
It is to push us to a better future for our self and our next generation.
Work hard and work smart too! Hurray for us, the self-improver.

Look On The Bright Side Of Things
Many things affect us in our daily life. Work, friends, colleague, travel, emails, bosses, environment, and the list can go on.
There are, therefore, many ups and downs along the way.
The "ups" will brighten our days while the "downs" will dampen it.
Can we avoid them?
We cannot. But we can choose how to look at them.
We can select those that we like to see. There is the bright and the dark side of any thing.
Which do you prefer?
Look at the bright side!
This is easily said and most of us know it. But we do harbour the "bad" thoughts even when we know we should not.
How then do we REALLY look at the bright side?
Practice and constantly be aware of your mental state. Be discipline. It is your life!
It is hard sometimes to swallow negative feelings, but, with practice to focus on the nice side of things, the time taken to reverse the mental and emotional situation can be shortened.
Have always some memories of good incidence ready to replace any bad things that crops up. Flush the bad things out and fill the mind with quality stuff.
Stay away from the negative side or look at beautiful pictures or hum a silent tune.
Strive to change your mood when you are in the corner or finding imminent dark things coming your way. Your reaction towards these will be better handled with a cheerful heart.
We have only one life. Enjoy it through a bright outlook.
Cheers! Have a nice day aaaaahead!
There are, therefore, many ups and downs along the way.
The "ups" will brighten our days while the "downs" will dampen it.
Can we avoid them?
We cannot. But we can choose how to look at them.
We can select those that we like to see. There is the bright and the dark side of any thing.
Which do you prefer?
Look at the bright side!
This is easily said and most of us know it. But we do harbour the "bad" thoughts even when we know we should not.
