Nothing is impossible

Hi All

I cannot but say how fortunate I am. I have been receiving inspirational movies through emails which really moved me and it seemed that the year for 2008 is a year full of inspirations, aspirations, motivations and goals.

There is nothing to stop a person from gaining success. Blindness did not stop “Stevie Wonder” from earning fame and fortune. Any limitations placed are done by the people themselves.

“Sometimes, I think my blindness is a blessing” he said. “Maybe without this handicap, I would not have acquired this gift of music. People say that I am blind but through my music I see”

Stevie, as he is fondly known in the entertainment world, became blind after he was born because of a mishap at the hospital. Shortly afterwards, Stevie’s father left. His mother had to work as a cleaner to raise Stevie. The grateful son promised his mother that he would repay her love and sacrifices. Despite his handicap, Stevie promised to find a way. He did. Through his music, Stevie expressed himself and achieved success and repaid his mother’s devotion.

We should ask ourselves, if Stevie can do it with his limitations, so can YOU!

With this, I wold like to share this inspirational movie with you.

It is based on the song “I Raise You Up” by Josh Groban. The lyrics are beautiful and inspirational. However, please ignore the pictures if it’s not pleasing to you but rather let the message shines through.

Hope you enjoy this video

Secrets For Success

Hello there

Many of us would like to discover a magic recipe for success. A formula that can bestow wealth, joy and happiness on its finder. The world would have been a better place if we can just get this ‘magic’ formula.

On looking closer, it can be revealed that there is actually no ‘magic’ formula to success but the secret for success boiled down to being a winner.

Winners come in shapes an sizes but all have this in common; they have achieved their own personal goal by following four natural principles of success:

A clear goal

A definite plan

Confidence

No fear of failure

It is common that when we see a successful person, we tend to only see their success; never their struggles in journey. If we look closer, we will see evidence of the above four principles on these successful person. The reality is that the basic ingredients of achievement are neither complex or obscure. We are all born with them. We need only to start believing in them and then the magic begins.

With this, I would like to share an inspirational tape with you entitled ‘Don’t Quit’. It’s very inspirational and motivating.

I am sure you will love it. Here it goes:-

Goals and Goals Setting

Hi there

Often, we asked ourselves, what are our goals? Why do we need goals? What are goals, anyway? Try visualising this, getting out of bed in the morning, leaving your house not knowing where you are going or maybe not knowing what you are going to do the whole day?

Now look again. Can you see where you are heading for the year, the next 5 years and the remaining years of your life? If you are heading anywhere, you must have an understanding of what goals are and what they serve.

Goals are the result or achievement toward which effort is directed. Success requires endeavors, endeavors require direction or goals, and goals are the desired outcome.

For true success, you need to feel a desire to reach your goal that is so great that it occupies both your head and your heart. So start setting your GOALS now! Set your goals not only in your mind but also in your heart. How should we set our goals then?

1. Goals must be specific. It should be well defined and measurable. Personal goals should take into account a person’s interest, skills, values and abilities

2. Goals must be realistic. Only when goals are realistic and attainable can they serve to provide motivation and commitment a person needs to achieve them

3. Goals must be planned. Giving your goals down in writing gives them form and life. Drawing up a plan to achieve it provides it with meaning and Acting on it gives it life.

4. Goals must be exciting because it deals with your future

5. Don’t set goals based on egos as these goals provides little fulfillment and little sense of achievement. Goals that are build on ego cannot be gratified as they thrive on pleasing others instead of themselves.

6. Don’t get into habit of setting temporary goals; tentative goals are all right if you are venturing into something too risky to plunge in. Lack of urgency may set in. Because it is a tentative goal, one may hold back action and even be indecisive in making actions leading to complacency

How does setting goals benefit you?

1. It gives meaning to life and provide one with a specific direction to travel in the journey of life

2. It helps determine your priorities in life.

3. It provides you with a sense of achievement. Accomplishing goals is one of the most gratifying experiences in the goal setting process. It is what all activities and all energy are focused upon: getting the desired result. After all this time working on this goal, alone or in a team, and after overcoming all kinds of unexpected obstacles it has at last produced result - Success!

4. It adds as a platform for your human development and growth and set a stage for your self-improvement

5. It develops discipline and allows utilization and time management for better benefit and other meaningful use

6. It implant in you the commitment, enthusiasm, drive and motivation to meet challenges

7. It helps build up your confidence, one can act promptly without hesitation

Challenges for 2008

Hi there

If life can be compared to a journey and you must choose which road to take, are you going to choose the road that leads to mediocrity, failure and obscurity? Or are you going to choose the road that leads to success and excellence? The choice is yours.

It’s the time of the year where we say Good Bye to 2007 and Hello to 2008. Time to take stock of what we have achieve in 2007 and what we can achieve in 2008.

So start to pen down your goals for 2008. Writing down your goals will translate them into an action plan, instead of just remaining wishes and dreams. It helps you to focus on your goals and set the stage for changing it into reality.

Goal setting is vital for personal growth and development. But, unfortunately, there are people who wander through life without setting any goals and live it devoid of meaning and purpose.

I shall dwell on the reason on why setting goals is important and its principle tomorrow but today, I would like to wish all of you a Blessed New Year. May 2008 be a very meaningful and exciting year for you.

As we reminisce our past achievements and move towards 2008, let us now relax and lie back to enjoy this song by ABBA entitled “HAPPY NEW YEAR”

Listening Principles by Dale Carnegie

Hi there

Following my earlier posts on the 7 types of listeners, below are some principles of listening.

1. Maintain eye contact with the person talking

2. Be sentitive to what is not being said

3. Observe body language for incongruent messages

4. Practice patience; speak only after the other person is finished

5. Do not interrupt, finish the speaker’s sentence, or change the subject

6. Listen to learn; pretend there will be a quiz at the end of the speaker’s sentence

7. Clarify any uncertainties after they have spoken

8. Make sure you understood what was said by rephrasing what you heard

9. Don’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions; keep an open and accepting attitude

10. Practice pure listening; remove all distractions and minimize internal and external filters

11. Turn off your mind and “be with” the speaker; try to see things from their perspective

Whether you are the listener or the speaker, with practice and being aware of the above pointers, we will no doubt be able to achieve and become an “engagers ” listener.

As the saying goes, practice makes perrrrrfect!
