If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

Peace of Mind is attained when our mind is occupied

Our mind contain a lot of things, and they were there while you can't have them or until they were released. Sometimes we store them not only in the conscious mind but even in our subconscious mind. That is why our dream is about the things that we want or what bothers us daily.
Did you know that when we are occupied and focus to what we are doing, there is less trouble in our mind.
But if we don't have any work that will make us busy, possibilities are, we notice everything in our environment,  we sense any trouble that happen in our body, or sometimes we have enough time for unnecessary things.
There are a lot of benefits in making yourself occupied; one is achieving, another is fulfilling, and the most important is you maintain a peaceful mind while busy and later on having the products.
So why stay unoccupied when peaceful mind is attained when you're occupied.

What hinders you to lead?


Are you afraid to start because you’re alone?
Are you afraid to move because there are people who will impede you?
Are you thinking that you can’t start and move without budget?
Or you’re afraid to start because you’re not sure?

When Thomas Edison had invented the incubator, he just wants to find out if an egg will be hatch by a heat provided by another living organism. He tried to hatch an egg to a usual manner that a hen does when he applied the heat from his body by sitting close to the eggs, exactly imitating what the hen does for hatching the eggs, and his effort had become successful, he hatch the eggs after several days. Before he had done it people laugh at him pointing that he was insane, but after the short period of waiting and persistence, his effort has provided a good outcome, the invention of incubator.

Another is the story of Bill Gates in having Microsoft. No one had aim and dreamed like Bill Gates because his dream was next to impossible. His dream was, “that every home will have a computer.” A computer is not like television, a computer during those days is not yet user friendly like of what we have now. But he says this, “if every home will have a computer, I’ll be the richest man in the world.” Computer had become a necessity, he becomes the world most influential person, also became the world riches person at the age of thirty. Now, he controls Microsoft the world’s most popular operating system and office assistant.

The CHINAMAN

A wealthy Chinese businessman was now old and wanted to retire. So he called his three sons and told them: "I am not going to divide my business and give it to all three of you. What I want to find out is this; which of you is the best businessman? So I am going to test the three of you. Whoever wins the test gets the whole business."
So the old man gave each of the sons $10. With that money each one was supposed to buy something which would fill a big empty room. The boy who filled the room most completely would win.
The first boy went out and bought a big leafy tree. He had it cut down and dragged into the room. It filled about half the room.
The second young man went out and bought all the kunai grass which some farmers were cutting off their field. They carried it in and filled most of the room.
The third boy was the smartest. He went to a small trade store and bought a candle for 25c. in the evening, after the dark, he called his dad over to the large empty room. He then put the little candle down on the floor in the middle of the room and lighted it. After a minute or so he turned to his dad and said, "Dad, can you see any little corner of this room which is not filled by the light of that tiny candle?"
The boy won the business.

Extending the Golden Rule

Good manners and proper behavior are always signs of good breeding and upbringing. People like us better when we are polite and gentle, than when we are rough, crude, and impolite.


"Politeness is to do and say. The kindest things in the kindest way."
This maxim we learn in our grades may well be our guide in determining what is polite and what is not. We can also fall back on the Golden Rule: "Don't do and say unto others what you do not want done or said to you."


Skill in relating warmly and positively to others is needed by every person who wants to enjoy

Be aware

Most destructive habit: WORRY, we should know that 90 percent of the things we worry about don't really happen. We should not give burden to ourselves by worrying to things that last.

Greatest joy: GIVING, it is a habit that is good to nurture. In fact, the people you helped always include you in their prayers, sometimes it is burden but remember that by doing this you are investing your wealth in heaven.

Greatest Loss: LOSS OF SELF RESPECT, the thing that must not be happen to life of a person. Because having respect to yourself means gaining respect from others, if you don't respect yourself then how will others  respect you.

Most satisfying work: HELPING OTHERS, it is associated with giving, but helping other needs your effort and time. Only few can do this, it takes sacrifice and patience to help others achieve a goal. Other people achieved satisfaction in helping others, that is why they continue.

Most endangered species: DEDICATED LEADERS, because follower often expect more from leaders, and leaders don't meet their expectations. John Kennedy said that, "Ask not what the country can do for you, but rather ask ourselves what we can do for our country."  If we don't achieved good result with our leader, it is because we don't work with them.

Greatest problem to overcome: FEAR, the block to our aspirations and desires. If we did not succeed and develop ourselves, it is because we are covered and blinded with fear.

Most effective sleeping pill: PEACE OF MIND, they've said that there is no peace of mine unless you rest in peace, but don't be convince in that word because the peace of mind can be achieved through good thoughts and freeing our mind from guilt.

Most powerful force in life: LOVE, it is something that you can give it away, and it will come back to you.

Greatest asset: FAITH,

Most beautiful attire: SMILE,

Most priced possession: INTEGRITY,

Most important thing in life: BELIEF,
