For as long as I remember myself, there’s always been a trend among guys to prove who’s stronger. And I think that goes back to the beginning of the humankind. Perhaps, these are our biological instincts. Survival. Now men compete...
Have you ever wanted to be a hero? Have you? OK, I have, I admit. Maybe not necessarily a Superman, but perhaps a Spiderman, or even a Captain America? We had our heroes on the other side of the Globe...
The more I was learning, the more I knew how much I didn’t know. I remember one day I was training and I asked myself, what have I really learned? I think I may be getting closer to understanding the statement that Zen mind is a beginner’s mind...
We, humans, have a tendency to believe something that the crowd is talking about. Their belief may become our belief, and we may not even care if it has a real foundation or it was just a delusion of one single individual...
As I was trying to get ahead in life, to fulfill some of my dreams, for some reason it didn’t work. I felt like I was stuck in the moment like in a fiction movie: I could not escape. I felt like Neo in Matrix...
There's a big gap between the mediocrity and somebody who really made it. And somebody did. I am not talking about inherited money or winning a lottery. I am talking about self-made success in any field. One thing I discovered, people who are successful...
Can you ride a bicycle? I learned that skill many, many years ago. You may or you may not know how to ride it. But I’d like to look at my learning experience from a different perspective.
I’ve heard it from several coaches: you need to make a list of things that need to be done. Of course, with toy chemistry set the list was already there, but for business, for life, for whatever we need to do, it is suggested to...
This is our life, my friend. We are driving forward full speed. And in many cases its OK because we know where to turn. What if life takes an unexpected turn? Well, that’s when we can lose our balance, so to speak.,,
Somebody who’s learning with me is like a baby. I cannot feed them too much. They won’t digest it. I cannot tell them every small thing I’ve gone through. I have to feed them a little bit and give them room. And I have to let them walk, and fall...
I’ve heard it many times from her and from different coaches. Success won’t make us happy. New toy, new job, new trip, new spouse, new whatever - don’t make us happy. What does?..
Sometimes I see online questions like “If you could eliminate one thing in the World, what would that be?” That made me think. Well, I can sure change some things to make the World better. Instantly. All right. But on the second thought...
I read this quote online, actually, and I totally agree. Why are we always saying rest in peace? Why not to try to live in peace?..
If you have something special to wear, why not now? If you want to do something, what can be a better day than today? Or if you, maybe, have something important to say to somebody, now is a great time...
I’d like to take a moment to appreciate my life I have today. No past regrets. No future day dreaming. Just here and now. In fact, why don’t we do it together...
What I see today, people try something, it doesn’t work, and they drop it because odds are against them. But how many people became great just because they were going against the odds? Even when nothing works...
The question I have for you today, are you working in your element? Do you know your strengths and weaknesses? When I was growing up, my definition of well rounded was somebody who was excellent in all areas of life. That means all qualities have to be developed. And I did not fit that description. I think that might create a bitter feeling, like I was not up to par...

Have I lost my enthusiasm? Oh yeah! More than once, to be honest. What got me back was a roadmap. Robert Schuller had a book “The Peak to Peak Principle.” He taught it to John Maxwell, that’s how I learned about it...
I was listening to John Maxwell, and he said, many people think it takes a whole lot to achieve their goals. But it’s actually not. It takes...
Because we are conditioned, we are trying to find the opposite. So when we’re sure we’re right, that means, in our mind of course, that any other opinion is wrong...
I am not emphasizing New Year Resolutions because I see so many people wait until January 1st to begin working on their goals. My motto is Do It Now. If I decide to do something, I will start the same day even after midnight. I don’t care. Just do it. But that’s me, I am not saying you have to do it. So I do have my goals for this year...
