Count the blessings you have. I am grateful for today. In fact I think there’s one major component that makes my life great. Perhaps, the only component I need. That is...
No matter what idea you have, there will be somebody, maybe even a majority, that will call it stupid. They may even call you names. Just ignore them...
Today I’ll continue talking about achieving our goals. Again, I came up with this topic after listening to my coach. I’m so guilty in doing what he said not to do, it’s not even fun. But it is what it is.
The legend says that many, many centuries ago, a Young Wind was flying at the early Spring time. And he saw a beautiful tree covered with amazing white flowers. The Wind fell in love...
Have you heard about the importance of goal setting? New Year’s resolution, etc? Well, today’s topic may sound contradicting all those concepts. But I think it gives the answer why many of those resolutions fail...
How often are we acting like the Hog in the fable? Look around, my friend. We are killing the World we’re living in. We’re cutting, destroying, polluting and poisoning...
I think fear kills more lives than failure ever will. Definitely fear kills more success than anything. I remember talking to a guy who served in Afghanistan...
Two major things I learned from this fable. One, be selective who you take help from. We say, “Complaisant fool is worse than an enemy.” So be careful about whom you consider to be your friend...
There’s one phenomenon I’d like to discuss today. I learned about it three decades ago. I’ve seen so many people do it. I have also done it, and I know about it. Duh! And I have been a victim of it many times. Let me give you an example...
Many people won't believe you because you act against their ignorant opinions. They sometimes won’t believe you even when you show the results...
Today I’ll talk about one mistake that can cost you a fortune. It can destroy your success and your carrier completely. How I know? I’ve seen so many people do it. Sorry to admit, I am one of these people...
All fantasies aside, do you know how many people actually are trapped in their life? Day in and day out, they wake up every morning, do exactly same things, go to exactly same places...
I remember I had always thought about myself as non-competitive. Who cares who comes first to the finish… as long as I do. Much later I found out that I was actually somewhat right. Unfortunately, over the course of life I lost it partially getting consumed by the widely accepted theory of success. And my mistakes were really costly...
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...
