Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart. All that will be left of you and be remembered well is what was in your heart.
You must be fired up FIRST, before you can show others the way.
Your light can be seen in your excitement, enthusiasm, speed of conduct and energy of your communication.
As one can feel the warmth of the “light” , one too can feel the “energy” that you exude.
And when you light up, only then you can also see the darkness of others.
Your perception on how you see your GOALS will determine your mental attitude, your beliefs and THE ACTION you will take.
It will govern your daily behaviour.
Stretch your sights …
Aim for the EXTRAORDINARY .Do not limit yourself by “thinking small”.
Aim for the stars and fly high. Aim low and your feet will never leave the ground …..
Its “funny” that sometimes one is too shy to be proud of what they have or what they have accomplished.
Too humble ?
Well, sometimes, humility is not a strength.
Stylish and “classy-arrogance” may be needed to get noticed.
Believe in your YELLOW umbrella and “shout” to everyone that it is indeed the greatest colour and only those with exquisite taste can appreciate it.
2 points ….
– believe in YOURSELF & what you have
– a slight tinge of arrogance may be needed to promote YOU.
Finally, if you do not have a yellow umbrella, perhaps you should make one.
Did you see it ?
Did you seize it ?
Did you pounce on it ?
Did you even try ?
Can you create it ?
Are you chasing it ?
Or are you just sitting, waiting, procrastinating and just hoping ?
YOUR OBSESSION IN CHASING FOR SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE DETERMINES YOUR AGE.
SO HOW YOUNG ARE YOU ?
We must never loose that “little boy” inside of us. As we progress through life, we sometimes build a wall, a facade ; to protect ourselves, to represent our position, to demonstrate our capabilities or even to hide insecurities.
Perhaps in search for happiness , fullfillment ?
But happiness was when we ran barefooted in the soccer field, climbed tress and skinny dipping in a river. I believe most of us missed those days ; and should incorporate moments of our past in to our present lives.
We do not need to climb trees today but we can still have a bottle of wine and enjoy loud unrestricted laughter with our good old friends of yesteryears.
Stop talking ……
Stop endless discussion …
Decide !!
Start doing, take action
More speed more urgency
Modify along the way …
Commit to a deadline …..
Be accountable
Do not let others WAIT.
Customers do not like waiting ?
Do YOU ???
A reflection, a self evaluation.
Are you a shark ?
If you are , do you realize it ?
Or are you trying to climb trees ?
People can change.
Skills can be learnt.
But do also check out the “nature” of your SELF.
If you are a shark , then do not even try to climb a tree, for you will never beat a monkey.
And if you are a monkey, then do not even try swimming with the sharks in the ocean. You will be eaten alive.
And if you are indeed a shark, then behave like one too and not be a guppy.
WHO ARE YOU ?
***** **** and if you are a guppy, don’t pretend to be a shark too

FORGETTING.
A caption from the book
SELAMAT MENUNAIKAN IBADAH PUISI
by Joko Pinurbo
The easiest job to do is “forgetting”.
No need for intelligence. No need for education. Just a little thought.
That is why many people do not like calendars, clocks and writing. It inhibits “forgetting”.
Seemingly, forgetting feels good. Liberating. Temporary.
The main enemy of “forgetting” is “WHEN”.
The best friend of “forgetting” is “WHENEVER”
It is often too that WHEN and WHENEVER gets along well together.
(translated as understood by WL)
A task …
An action …
Someting you want to do …
SET A DEADLINE ……
Otherwise it will all just be a wish …a talk ….a dream …… that will never happen or just YOU giving empty promises to someone.
A commitment without a deadline means nothing.
