Early Bird

"The early bird gets the worm..." but has it ever occurred to you that the early worm gets eaten. In line with this thinking, being the first may not necessarily be good, because the first mouse gets trapped, but the second one gets the cheese.

Super Talented
Challenges and adversities in life make life and living interesting. Dealing with them and overcoming them is what brings meaning to life. One thing I have observed is that many of the very successful people I know are not particularly gifted or super talented. But they are persistent and determined. They work very hard and purposely set out […]

The Experts Can Be Wrong
HISTORY: Way back in AD 10 Julius Frontinus said, “Inventions have reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development.” Thomas Edison, the great inventor, was at times doubting Thomas said, “Fooling around with alternating current is a waste of time.” In 1934 Albert Einstein declared, “There is not the slightest indication that […]

Timing is Now
Timing is important. Charles Kingsley says: “There’s no use doing a kindness if you do it a day too late.” Today is the day when we show kindness. The Pandemic, and then the typhoon. There is just plenty of kind things we can do because the needs are many. But do not put it off […]

Perpetual Students
The more we learn the more we realize there is more we need to learn. Those who are not interested in learning may have the erroneous idea that they already know enough. Not good because the stagnation begins. We have to be perpetual students. George Couros says: “Learning is not consumption. Learning is creation.” I […]
