'
There are many ways to make a person happy.
But one sure way to be happy is ...
turn off the television or computer, and start talking to humans.
People, being social beings, need communication and idea sharing.
They like to pass message, one-way or both-way.
They like to share their feelings.
They like to show their affection and emotion.
They like to express.
Why is this so?
To communicate, you feel good.
We release some stress that may have accumulated through the working day.
To communicate, you can motivate others.
We need to show concern for our love ones, or the people we care for.
By showing and communicating our emotion to others, we are allowing others to show the same to us. It is mutual.
The television or computer cannot do that!
Therefore, to stay and be happy, cut down the number of hours in front of the television or computer. Talk to others. Act like a human being.
You will then feel like normal and being part of the human community.
You will be happy. This is a sure way.
Try it. Turn your computer off now and communicate to anyone around you.

Be Realistic With Yourself and Others
There is a trap when you set goals for yourself and others.
Ambition and lack of patience may be the causes. Aiming too high without due concern for resources (time and necessary skills) can make or break the outcome.
Planning carefully, covering as many aspects of the objectives, will be a wiser approach when dealing with setting goals.
Ultimately, be realistic, especially when the outcome involves many others too.
Check the time frame to pick up new skills and the resources needed along the process.
Cater for the learning journey.
Factor in human behaviour towards challenging tasks.
Look into yourself,and your confidence level to complete the mission.
Be truly you.
Again, be realistic.
But what if the setting is fixed and has to progress on?
Firstly, do not point finger.
This will cause more harm than saving the situation. At times of this stressful condition, everyone needs motivation to get on.
Secondly, have an open communication.
Keeping to yourself and doing it alone will be tough. Communicate your ideas as you go along. Others may have better strategies to manage the problems or process. Open communication in the genuine sense, makes for better long-term rapport later on.
Even when no solutions can be found for the questions, as least you know that you have tried finding for one. Hunt for another approach. Internet, magazines, forum, etc are good places to get information leads.
Thirdly, know that you have to do it and avoid negative thoughts.
Staying positive is a good sign to progress. Negative thoughts will only pull you down or slow your down. Be strong. Know that you are a better person with every steps ahead. Even failure is a little lesson in itself. Staying stagnant, and blaming the situation is not productive. Things will not move forward if wrong thoughts fused into your thinking.
Being mature and realistic, though not easy, is also not difficult to handle. Just stay positive.
Self-motivate yourself consistently.
Even when the whole thing does not make it finally, I guarantee that you have achieve much internally through going the tough road. It is the strength within you that make a better you. Develop it!
Cheers to self-improvement!

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?

Elder Does Not Mean Better
As we grow older, we experienced more things and events. These causes us to have more knowledge and the ability to give good judgement and advise.
But does it necessary be true all the times?
This question crossed my mind when I witnessed a case involving a parent teaching her daughter upper elementary math.
The daughter was trying to avoid a certain math question that involves ratio. The mother seeing the problem confronted the kid and discover that the question was challenging.
She tried to work that out thinking that at an upper elementary level, the math question should not be difficult to solve,and was wondering why the kid was "running"away from it.
Half an hour passed by with the mother still struggling with the question. Some thing went really wrong!
What was surprising was that the daughter sensing that her mother wasn't able to solve it, took up the challenge instead of avoiding it now.
After staring at the paper for about 3 minutes or so, she wrote something out of logic, something not that mathematical, but with the answer from only 4 steps of working.
She outdid her mother!
What this event proved was that given the correct attitude, any person can come out better solution and idea. Experience is good but not all.
It also goes to show that one have to keep on learning and staying mentally active. It does not always mean that being elderly has the call and advantage.
It is a race and everyone can catch up with you at any time. Fierce message, right?
Do not despair. Just do what is right and proper. It is sufficient to keep you happy and comfortable. Cheers!

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!

Simple Trick To Stay Happy
Ever wonder how people stay happy?
It is not that difficult if you know how.
First, you have to know what make you unhappy. Or just read your feeling and you know it.
Second, you need to know who will make you unhappy. Your feeling will tell you too.
After knowing all these, what do you do if you have no choice but to be around them?
Just shut them off, mentally.
If things are not to your taste and are disturbing, remove them.
- You can choose to simply ignore them, or courteously smile and move away.
- You can even "shut your ears" (the non-physical type), and pretend you are listening.
- You can temporary store what you hear and see when they are around, but flush them out after they are out of sight.
Stick with things you like and that will make you comfortable.
Comfort will relax your mind and body to sustain your energy for the day.
This action will make you happy.
This trick will keep you healthy for a long time.
Try it. Stay happy.
:-)

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.

Acknowledging That Not All Will Like You
Do you try to please everyone ?
Do you like to make friends by catering to their needs?
Do you wish to be liked by everyone?
Though the answer is a YES, it is not possible in real life.
Is it that important to be liked or loved?
We live in a world full of emotional people. People have their own likes and dislikes. We should not impose our desire onto others. Therefore, we should not expect others to do like us.
They have a choice.
Knowing this is good.
At least you will feel better.
But most importantly, LIKE YOURSELF.
This is the best that you can do.
:-) Cheers to yourself. Hurray!

Having a Cheerful Look Always
I have went to a food place recently for a meal. I noticed that some stalls were hardly being patronised while some are busy serving customers.
What was the striking difference that I observed?
The facial expression of the stall owners.
They were smiling and cheerful in their outlook.
These impressed the people scouting for food to buy.
After all, who will buy food from a groomy and dull person?
He will not be able to digest the food if he got one from the owner!
Through this observation, I believe it can be applied to other matter as well.
When we deal with our surrounding colleagues, we have to have a positive attitude to serve and respond to them happily. This creates a positive feedback and willing co-operation from them as a result.
A cheerful look at all times may be hard to maintain, but the benefits can be apparent.
If there is a choice, why choose the undesirable look and appearance?
Be happy. It's free. It spreads.
You will gain more friends or contacts too.
:-)

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!

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.

Inspirational Quote - Its Benefits To Self-Improvement
There are times when we are down and restless. We may encounter difficult events that put us down, and maybe, out. The pace of life is getting more demanding and challenging. We need to muster whatever energy we have at times.
But we do know that life is not always a downward trend. It is like a roller coaster, having its up and down at different periods of our life. If we are able to roll over the hard period, we will see "sunlight" finally.
However, how do we ride over these difficult times?
How do we improve ourselves during this low periods?
Though there are many ways or techniques to boost our morale, not all are suitable. We need to find those that suit our needs and situations, and are simple and easy to fuse in, given the already tough times.
Quotes, the inspirational and motivational types, are the simplest to pull up our mode at this crucial period. They are easily implementable. And they are not time-sensitive. They can be used anytime.
Quotes can be put up anywhere where we can see them. They serve to remind us of our directions and goals. They keep us going. They give us the added energy to push on mentally.
For desk-bounded working people, quotes can be installed into the screen-saver of the computer monitor screen. "Post-it" notes written with inspirational quotes can pasted onto wall of cubicles that we worked in, or even the side of the desk or drawers.
Those working at home can have them pasted at the fridge or doors of rooms. They can be framed up and beautified as in learning institutes.
Where to get these quotes?
You can get them from books, and also the internet. There are aplenty. You can also customised them to suit your taste. You can create book marks using these inspirational quotes.
To sum it all, inspirational quotes are good if we want to improve ourselves and ride through tough times. We need intrinsic, as well as, extrinsic motivational inspirations sometimes to help us achieve goals in life. Quotes serve this extrinsic factor well. And best of all, they are mostly free!

Inspire Yourself Through Imagination
Our brain acts like a sponge. It can absorb many information. But as we grow older, we tend to relax and go into our comfort zone. This relaxation slows down the activity with the brain. Maybe physical part of the body relates to the slowing down of this mental exercise. But to continue with this "comfort zone" situation is a inefficient way to self-improve and keep up to date. You will be outcasted in no time especially in this, nowadays, fast-changing society.
I have, however, discovered an enjoyable activity. It is to imagine. It inspires the mind to test the limit of convention. Imagination can be done anytime when in the relaxed state.
Just pick up any item, be it a picture or hard item, and look at them with another perspective. See if there is another usage for it. See if they represent another meaning. Do not limit your thoughts. Just let it flow with your dreams or unguided thought. Close your eyes if necessary.
You can imagine flying in the sky at times. You can imagine swimming deep within the ocean searching for yet to be found fishes. You can be riding a supersonic vehicle round the world or into outerspace.
What you are doing with imagination is to generate ideas. Ideas that may give you new light to a problem. Ideas to a new product may be discovered. This imagination stretches the mind and make for an active brain. Even when no new solution happens, at least, you had your fun flying and swimming.
Why be limited by our physical being? Imagine and stay mentally active. Pick up a book, a picture, see a movie, take a bus to nowhere and imagine. Who knows, wonders may happen!
:)

What you are doing with imagination is to generate ideas. Ideas that may give you new light to a problem. Ideas to a new product may be discovered. This imagination stretches the mind and make for an active brain. Even when no new solution happens, at least, you had your fun flying and swimming.
Why be limited by our physical being? Imagine and stay mentally active. Pick up a book, a picture, see a movie, take a bus to nowhere and imagine. Who knows, wonders may happen!
