Some refreshers

Some points to ponder from the book: "The monk who sold his Ferrari" by Robin Sharma -

* When a student is ready, teacher appears

* Investing in yourself is the best investment you can make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the life of all around you.

* Never overlook the power of simplicity

* There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of selfmastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.

* Only those who seek shall find

* The secret of happiness is simple: find out what you truly love to do and then direct all of your energy towards doing it. If you study the happiest, healthiest, most satisfied people of our world, you will see that each and every one of them has found their passion in life, and then spent their days pursuing it. This calling is almost always one that, in some way, serves others. Once you are concentrating your mind power and energy on a pursuit that you love, abundance flows into your life, and all your desires are fulfilled with ease and grace."

* Purpose of a life is a life of purpose

* No one should ever take life so seriously so that they forget to laugh at themselves.

* Develop a deathbed mentality. Live as if today is going to be your last day on earth.

* We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human existence

* No matter how big a house you have or how slick car you drive, the only things that you take with you at the end of your life is your conscience. Listen to your conscience, let it guide you.

* Make the decision to spend more time with those who make your life truly meaningful


Cheers,

Thought of The Day

BOASTFULNESS IS GENERALLY AN ADMISSION OF AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Really capable people don't have to boast about their achievements; they let their actions speak for them. When you boast about your accomplishments, you are telling others that you are unsure of yourself and your value in the world.
Baseball manager Tommy Lasorda once noted that there are those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened, and those who make things happen.

Strive to be one of those who make things happen. If you show others what you can do, they will respect you far more than if you had simply told them what you'd done. Anyone can quarrel with words, but actions speak for themselves.

Cheers,
