HOW TO GET GOOD AT LIFE ~ Robin Sharma

Life is a skill. And like any other skill, once you know the ground rules
and make the time to practice, you can get better. If you really devote
yourself to life, you could even reach a place of mastery. Some have.
I suggest to you that there are 3 simple things you can do
to get good at life:

1) Pay Attention To Life: It's really easy to let life act on you – to fall
asleep to life.. Some people have lost entire decadess this way.. And
they never got them back.. Try and write in a journal each morning before you walk out into your
world. Think about what goals you need to accomplish that day and
write them down. Think about what are your most closely held values.
Think about what lessons you've learned from the previous day.
What good is making a mistake if you don't learn from it?

2) Engage In Life: I've learned something as I've grown older: the more you give to life,, the more it gives to you.. Over dinner last night with some friends, we began to speak of goal-setting.
“But why set goals when life can be so uncertain?” One asked me.
My reply: “Just because life is so unpredictable doesn't mean you
shouldn't exercise your power to do your best. Set your goals. Make
your plans. Take action and chase your dreams. That's what personal
responsibility is all about. But once you've done your best – let go. And
let life do the rest.” She looked deeply into her pad thai.

3) Enjoy Life: We take life too seriously. But at the end, the billionaire gets buried next to the street sweeper. We all end up as dust. And no matter how long you will live, each of us isn't here all that long in the grand scheme of things. So let's not take ourselves too seriously. Let's enjoy the ride.

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society? Have we allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident to how we treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others" Have we accepted mediocrity to be the order of our generation's existence?

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi. How often have you had the thought of changing the world? If you are anything like me, I have it more often than I have a glass of warm milk with cookies (okay that’s wacky...anyway). Or maybe it is something more like,” how can one act make a difference?” but all to often for many people another thought creeps in, “Who am I? I am just a small drop in the ocean.” (see the picture on the left) Or, “It takes a really special, gifted, and powerful person to even think of changing the world. And “ I am neither special nor gifted, let alone powerful.” If you think you are too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with the mosquito in the room" ~ Dalai Lama Like me, you’ve probably have looked at legendary people who are making it and thought, “what is it that they have that I don’t or lack.” And the answer is – they have the conviction that they can make a difference; that they are an immense and integral part
