When we went to school, we were told that if we worked hard and got excellent qualifications we could get a good job and be successful. But, what exactly is meant by success? If it means being in a job you don't really like and hoping your pension will give you some freedom and comfort in your retirement, then perhaps the schools were right. There are some people who are very happy in their jobs or careers, and that is perfect. That's success. But I believe the vast ma... more...

My editor and I were sitting on a bench on the edge of a park discussing my awkward syntax when we noticed a young boy walking with his father. At the edge of the swings and slide area was a wooden border about one foot high. The little boy was balancing on this wooden mini-fence when he fell -- taking a tumble such as only an inexperienced and innocent two year old can manage. He landed on the asphalt sidewalk and was as startled as much as shaken. Like a downed athlete he... more...

Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of "I wish I was somebody else." More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us, but when in the reality, the fact is - most people are more scared than us. You spot a totally eye-catching girl sitting by herself at a party, casually sipping on a glass of Asti Spumanti. You think to yourself, "she looks so perfectly... more...

One of the easiest ways to improve your life is to increase quality in all you do. When you do something better, you are increasing quality. When you make something better, you are increasing its quality. It doesn't matter how much better. Even a little tiny bit better is still an improvement. Then a little bit more than that next time, and a tiny bit more after that, and the effects add up rapidly. Why do people settle for less? Usually, because they are taught to, by their ... more...
