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.

Money is not everything

Money can make your world go round.
Money enables you to have access to different convineinces.
Money can be a passport to all walks on the earth skin.
You could be great with money.
You can acquire almost anything with money.
But money is not everything, most of the essential things in life are free or priceless.
The air we breathe is free, sunlight is free, the beautiful environment is free.
Besides the great usefulness of money today, still there are many things that money can't buy; our love ones and the life we posses are being sustain free.
Never get sad when you don't have money because money is not everything. Go to your fellow and enjoy what life had brought.

Live like a KITE

The kite goes up in space with the air, it dance and sway in strong winds against him. The kite was played by anybody, it can be seen during summer and windy weather. The kite was known from children to adults.
But how many are familiar with the kite situation in flying, are we aware that the kite can't fly without the strong winds against him? Are we familiar that without strong wind the kite will go down, the life of kite or it's flying capability depend so much on strong winds, and without it, it will fall down. The kite doesn't go with the wind to survived, but it goes against the wind to move up and fly high.

Our life sometime goes with the flow, that we're afraid to face troubles and trials. But we must know that by exerting effort to move up against many obstacles and test which stands as winds in life will make us stronger and fly higher like the kite. Yet it is not so easy to fly and go up, just like the kite that will fall down and fly so high in the presence of oppositions, we too can do it and will make it.

Let it be that our oppositions are the source of our strength in embracing our dreams and goals in life.

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 time to surrender


Is there a time or instance in your life that you’ve said I surrender? You know it’s not coward ness to utter and act surrender, there are much reason that comes out why this one is being initiated. Sometimes it is lack of courage, patience, perseverance, initiatives, fund, or companion that motivates us to surrender. The mention factors may contribute to giving up and surrender, but why motivates yourself to give up and continue? The main reason why we surrender is that, we amplify the burden we face when we pursue, but if we find several reasons and solution to go on we will never surrender.

Do not listen to offshoot or anybody who are against your nice idea, instead, convince yourself and talk to yourself about it. Prepare

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.
