Think before you do..

Before you do something..always think of the consequences..

And that will hopefully help you make better decisions..

See the bright side of things

Yesterday my flight was delayed by 6 hours..the airport staff and information desk were doing their best to keep everyone informed and comfortable..and yet everyone was complaining and blaming it on them!

Stop blaming others for everything! Take everything as it comes and see the bright side of things :)

Like the information aunty told me "Everyone keeps blaming others without listening to the other side of  the story!"

Never be..

rude to anybody!

I met a taxi uncle today who had a long list of complaints about the way people were treating him nowadays..he said "it is so surprising that the more educated the person..the ruder he gets!"

Try not to look down on people and always be careful with your words..they can leave a permenant scar! :)

Today I went out to shoot 6 videos and got 35 'NO's..

Surely I'm getting a little better :)

Knowing

is not enough..we must apply..

Willing is not enough..we must do..

Celebrate small wins :)

When you accomplish small things, give yourself a pat on the back! :)

As they say..small wins pepare you for big ones..:)

You are your own critic..

Be brutally honest with yourself! And judge if you are making progress..

Always try to improve things. The only thing that should stay the same is the fact that you always try different ways to improve your results :) 

Spend time on yourself

It is very important to spend time on yourself once in a while..

Pranayama is a form of controlled breathing which relaxes the body and clears your mind. It helps cure breathing problems as well. It helps me relax and become productive I have noticed and yet there is always an inertia to get down to doing it as I feel I have other things to do..

I must spend a few minutes a day doing it! It is for my benefit..

 

Don't juggle

continuing to emphasize on the 'do one thing at a time' post as I don't think I have learnt it well..

 

Try not to do everything at once..

Multi-tasking never helps. Do one thing...do it well :)

Never say never

When you feel lethargic or feel that you are not able to get things done..take a task and go all out to  do it..

I now realize that picking 3 important things on my task list and prioritizing them makes me want to get them done..and anything extra that I do gives me immense joy! :)

Once in a while..

treat people you care about..

Feels great! :)

If you really want to do something..

nothing can stop you from doing it.. :)

There are only 2 things that decide whether something gets done..you wanting to do it and you not wanting to do it..and whatever you choose, all credit for it goes to you! :)

Do one thing at a time..

Some days, I wake up and think I am never going to  be able to finish everything on my task list! The list seems never ending..

Those are the days for me to take it slow. Do one thing at a time..and give it my 100%. And once I take the first step, things will just flow...

What's in a name?

Try to remember people's names..

Very important! I have a very bad memory and am especially bad with names..make an extra effort to remember people's names..that's the only way they will remember you :)

Believe

When I was very young, I used to think that dreams are very personal thoughts and have to be kept a secret!

When I got older, I thought, dreams were answers to questions we have not yet asked!

And now I think, dreams help us think..and we dream because we do..

But that is just no reason for me to keep sleeping!:)

Don't rush things..

take it slow and steady..

When you face health issues..

talk to mom...always helps! :)

Drink barley water or tender coconut water to cool down your body...do it!

Know your strengths..

and use them to maximise benefits :)

If you know you are a morning person, then work in the mornings when you can!

We must not promise..

what we ought not, lest we be called upon to perform what we cannot..

The greatest gift...

is the passion for reading.

It is cheap, it consoles, it excites, it distracts..

It gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind.

It is a moral illumination.

So true :)

When you are feeling low...

get out of your room and help someone! Doesn't have to be a big deal...help your cluster leader check the mail, help your friend learn something, smile at the cleaner aunty and ask her how her day was...

And then you will realize...life's not that hard afterall :)

Don't forget to

practice what you preach :)

If something is bothering you...

identify the problem!

Don't fret about it and show bad attitude. What would help is if you solve the problem with a calm mind and figure out why things are the way they are :)

Don't forget

to eat on time and get enough sleep..don't be unfit and regret it tomorrow..

Like Leon Eldred said:

"If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.."

It is not the hours you put into your work

that matter but the work you put in those hours.. :)

Sometimes..

things just work out..

You don't know how are why they worked..you just know that they did! 

And that's the time to heave a sigh of relief and thank the one above! :)

If in trouble..

ask for help...

This reminds me of a story I read recently:

A little boy was having difficulty lifting a heavy stone.

His father came along just then.

Noting the buy's failure he asked, "Are  you using all your strength?"

"Yes, I am,"said the little boy impatiently.

"No, you are not," the father replied.

"I am right here waiting, and you haven't asked me to help you."

Execute!!

Oh no!! Its just become Sunday..and I thought I was still on Saturday!! :(

Don't spend hours planning..get down to executing!!
