Seeing is Not Believing

People used to say they wouldn't believe something was real until they see it for themselves. But what happens if the difference is so minute and scarce that you have to play a spot the difference game? 

Well unless you are equipped with the proper knowledge of what genuine is, you wouldn't know you are being duped. 

can you tell the 6 differences in the picture above?

Being genuine has far more benefits than an imitation. This applies to all aspects in life; not just physical manifestations. 

Don't all of us fall for the tendency of having someone to be there beneficially? We know that each individual have strengths to which we could exploit with less effort. We know what they are capable of and that is why we make sure they stay attached very closely. Its near impossible to find someone genuinely interested in you these days when the world has turned into a cat eat mouse scenario. 

"We are interested in others when they are interested in us"  ~ Publilius Syrus

Giving some thought on what old Syrus has to say. Think of the small conversations that you have with acquaintances. Everyone will put themselves first before all others because its human nature. We were born to adapt and therefore not knowingly commit a sin of excess when making decisions. 

Nobody rejects a spare but always questions the scant ~ J. Hunstman 

Strive to lead a life of sincerity and abundance will come so discretely you will not notice it. Be a genuine person to yourself, family, friends and ultimately your Creator. Remember these "SELF LEARNING METHODS", and perhaps you will find more sincere people surrounding your world. 

1. Smile.
2. Listen.
3. Make others feel important in a genuine way. 

I bid you a Happy New Year and may 2012 steer itself into sincere happiness that come in abundance for all you readers out there!

PS: sorry I have not been updating my post, pretty preoccupied with unavoidable matters. Till the next time..

Conform to A Diet Plan

Obesity rates have doubled if not tripled the amount it was compared to a decade ago. Chances are the number will increase again by the end of this year. With the increasingly fast-food chains, young adults of as young as 18 years old will be hit with cardiovascular diseases and other cholesterol related disease. Why has this happened? 

Well, I'm not here as a dietician, to ask you to eat right, but rather a simple man with a vision to help you see right. Look deeper, and you will realize that you have not been giving your body: 

• the right nutrition
• the right stress
• the correct lifestyle

Apply this into your hopes and dreams and you will realize the significance of knowledge is food for the mind.

So what should we feed our brain with? When you eat "junk food', food' then your giving birth to an "obese brain." Try your best to identify these categories of "junk food" and it will change your life. 

My advise:

1. Don't stop by for PEANUTS. Avoid gossip. Do onto others what you want them to do onto you. Its good to know what is happening to the people around us but don't say things before you verify its authenticity. Creating false accusations can land you in hot soup. Instead feed your brain with knowledge and you will have something intellectual to think about. 
2. Grow your own GREENS. Many of us were not born farmers. We hop by the nearest supermarket and shop for our groceries because we're lazy it is convenient and saves us time. The greens for the brain don't come easy as well. They need reading, motivating and just the right amount of coaching. I strongly suggest reading motivational books, self-improvement  materials and even something related to your personal hobby.
3. DINE OUT once in a while. How many of us actually know that there is a new restaurant in town? We stay cooped up living in our own comfort zone. Getting all cosy with dining in while watching our 29-inch  plasma TV; we soon fall asleep. That is when you start to get obese! Get out of that couch and attend seminars, community activities, intellectual discussions, talk with young people, get yourself involved in organizations and keep yourself active!

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. ~Henry L. Doherty

There is but one work in the world that is never finished for as long as you stay alive. What is it?

an autobiography.Make yours interesting, so that people would have more to write about. 

With that I conclude the session for today. To you my readers, I challenge you to a live of self improvement. Never stop building your autobiography for as long as you take breath. Make each breath a breathless experience for those who read about you. ~J.Hunstman

Desire; is it eagerness or an infatuation?

Desire. A simple word that could mean the world; a powerful thought that when it manifests physically could change the entire course of your life.

"An intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into its physical counterpart by the application of known principles" ~ Napoleon Hill

Infatuations are often mixed up with genuine desires. During my course of life, I've met :

• realists who do everything they can to achieve greatness in life.
• the idle community who are trapped in the rat race.
• the enthusiasts but without opportunity.

Desire should be a genuine eagerness to achieve what we've hoped for. Be it for ourselves, the people around us, the community or the nation. As long as you start with these simple words:

I want to ...

Don't ever start of with I need to. When the mind sees a desire as a need, the enthusiasm to achieve it declines and most probably diminishes. A need enslaves your personality to get the best life has to offer. We have choices and are held responsible for our actions. If you are not working towards a better life, then you have yourselves to blame.

Lets start by asking yourself these simple questions:

1. What do I want to achieve in life? (name it and be precise; i.e be it a materialistic desire or character development)
2. Am I doing something to achieve your dream with each passing day? If your answer is NO, then your desires are just infatuations. Don't bother having those dreams, as you are not really enthusiastic about them.
3. If your answer is YES, you are one step closer to achieving them. Never back down on your desires.
4. How can I do better on a daily basis into achieving these dreams? Draw up an action plan with the title: MY STATEMENT OF DESIRE
5. Am I ready to take the next bold move in life to honour my statement, live by it and never thrown in the towel?

I leave you to ponder on these questions and decide are your desires created from pure eagerness or was it all just an infatuation soon to be forgotten and fretted upon?
