Today is a wonderful time to
take stock and reflect on the year gone by, the triumphs you achieved,
the time you shared with family and friends, the good choices you made
in business. But in order to grow and develop both personally and
professionally, you also have to look back at and acknowledge the things
that challenged you, the things that did not go so well.
There is nothing wrong with setbacks, in fact, I believe that if we
don't have obstacles to overcome along the way we won't learn and grow.
Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, once said, "If you want to increase
your rate of success, you better be prepared to increase your rate of
failure."
We all have hopes and dreams for the future. Today the slate is wiped
clean for all of us as we start afresh. Why not take a few moments to
think about your dreams and goals for the year that starts today? In
what areas do you want to grow? What is truly important to you? What
challenges do you want to take on? Most of us don't realise what we can
accomplish when we unleash the hidden talents that we possess.
To help you make this year your best ever, take a few moments to ponder these 11 suggestions:
1. Challenge yourself
Have a clear vision and focus of what you want to achieve and set a time
frame. Challenge yourself to be the best you can be at all times.
Visualise what you want to accomplish. See it in your mind. Write down
your goals, have a plan of action, and never doubt you will be
successful.
2. Find the love factor
Surround yourself with loving, supportive people. Stay away from the
dream stealers, the people who would bring you down. Cherish the
special people in your life and let them know you cherish them.
3. Dedicate quality time
Life is so precious; make the most of each and every day. Rise early,
spend some quality time by yourself as well as with those you care
about. Go for a walk, workout, read a book. Value not only the time
you spend with your loved ones, but also the time you spend by yourself.
4. Stretch your comfort zone
Do at least one thing a day, which makes you feel uncomfortable. Push
yourself; you will be amazed how far you can go. Remember: on the other
side of fear is freedom. To remain stagnant is not to grow. To reach
your full potential, you must rise above the fray and soar like an
eagle.
5. Be passionate
Show passion in everything you do. Let it show in your body language, in
your smile, in your voice. Let your eyes sparkle. Let the world see
and hear your enthusiasm and let it feel your passion.
6. Serve others
Be a role model and mentor for people. Volunteer in your community and
help others achieve their goals. Your world will be enriched and a
better place for sharing your talents and giving freely of your time.
Leave a lasting legacy.
7. Don't sweat the small stuff
Let go of the little things you can't control. Don't take yourself so
seriously. Recognise that perfection isn't always the only option.
Don't let life's imperfections bother you. Lighten up and see the funny
side of things when they go wrong, the learning in them. Be tolerant,
smile...don't waste your energies on the small stuff, you have much
bigger fish to fry.
8. Live with integrity
Always be true to yourself. Take pride in whatever you do. Be proud of
who you are and what you represent. Accept others with all their
flaws. Show compassion and goodwill to your fellow human beings. Be
dignified. Lead a life of purpose and be proud of your values.
9. Show gratitude
Show gratitude and say thank-you to the people who have helped you along
the way. Send a handwritten letter to someone who has touched you.
Call up a friend or loved one and tell them how much they mean to you.
Compliment a colleague or business associate on a job well done. Show
people you appreciate and care about them. Acts of kindness cost
nothing but mean everything.
10. Celebrate success
Be proud of your achievements. Take time to recognise yourself and
others for even the small successes. But also be humble and dignified,
sensitive to people who are not as fortunate as you.
11. Exude a positive attitude
I cannot express enough the importance of having a positive attitude and
believing in yourself. Yes, you can be well intentioned, you can be
determined, but without a positive attitude about yourself and about
life, you will not succeed. Dreams will die, goals will fade, and gloom
and darkness will replace clear blue skies and sunshine in your mind
and heart.
Remember people will sometimes forget what you say to them or do for
them, but they will never forget how you made them feel in their hearts.
Make yourself a commitment for this year not only to have the best
year ever, but to help others that you care about accomplish this goal
as well.

- Jika anda gemar makan snek, pilihlah pisang, kacang dan yogurt kerana ia merupakan snek yang terbaik untuk tubuh badan kita.
- Kurangkan pengambilan garam

Begin With A Blank Page
If you could start your life all
over what would be different? What would you change now if you were
able to wave a magic wand and start from scratch?
Just imagine you have no ties, no burdens, no limits, no memories, and no past.
What would your life look like? If the answer that comes to your mind is different than what you are doing, why is that? Is it because of someone else's opinion? A spouse, a parent - or maybe your children?
The ultimate test of your life is to close your eyes and think of yourself on your deathbed. Lying there, preparing yourself to leave, look back at your life as you are currently living it.
How do you feel? Are you satisfied you lived completely? Or do you wish you had done differently? Very few of our senior citizens look back on their life and say, "I sure wish I had spent more time at the office!" Nobody says, "I wish I had watched more TV!"
This is what they say. "I wish I had been bolder. I wish I had given more. I wish I had tried harder to see more, do more and feel more." People wish that they had lived more.
I, for one, have to admit to a certain amount of holding back on dreams and goals because of our two boys. As my life progresses I realize there is no reason to hold back.
We have not been exactly standing still either. We have done our best to live our dreams. We built a sailboat and sailed for 7 years traveling on the open ocean. We lived in the snow in Aspen Colorado, and on the beach in South Carolina. An old brick mill was our home in Long Island, versus a boat dock in Palm Beach Florida. We are writers of books and music, actors in the theater, and we home- school the boys. We have built a horse farm, and businesses! Yet, there is so much more we want to do!
It is a balancing act. We all must have sufficient finances to support a comfortable lifestyle, (although most of us tend to spend way too much on that!) Part of this balancing act is understanding what we are passionate about doing so that work becomes a joy instead of a job.
Is this not a major reason of lost dreams and goals? Many people find work, call it a job and make a living at it. But they begrudge every minute of it, going as far as using the job as a reason for playing the martyr. Find something else!
There are many, many teachers of the attraction philosophies of "making a life". With as many opportunities today in every field imaginable, somewhere, something is calling to you.
Another part of the balancing act is to include those around you in frank and open discussions in what it is you want. I find some of my coaching clients have kept their wants and needs bottled up inside them forever! They had already decided for the other person in their lives there was no interest in whatever it was they themselves wanted to do! How absurd! How can we possibly know what someone else wants!
Would it not be tragic to spend your life in a big city for 40 years, working at a job you despise because you thought your spouse liked it, even though you wanted to live in the country and be a farmer? Then one day you overhear your spouse tell her best friend all she ever wanted to do was live in the country? 40 years!
Sure this is a bit far fetched - but you would be amazed at what I hear!
Make an attempt today to start with a brand new page of your life. Create your life story how you want it. If there are others in your life to be involved, have them do the same exercise. Then compare what your notes. If this matches your current life, congratulations! You are one of the few. Now make it better.
However, if your written life stories sound like someone completely different, then you are living a life of conflict.
Here is the good news. Your life is your life. No one can take that away from you. You are not indentured. You are not a slave. You are free to go, do, and be whomever you wish.
It might not be easy, but it sure might be worth it. I coach people daily who are changing their lives. There are so many things to be grateful for, and so many things open to us. We owe it to all the ones before us who gave us this opportunity to take advantage of it.

What Is Life All About
Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many friends you have. Or how many people call you. Or how accepted or unaccepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend. Or if you're alone. It isn't about who you're dating, who you use to date, how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all. It isn't about who you have kissed. It's not about sex. It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have. Or what kind of car you drive. Or where you're sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to. It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green. Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
It's not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everyone else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are. Or if this teacher likes you, or if this guy/girl likes you. Or what clubs you're in, or how good you are at "your" sport. It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you".
But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully. It's about keeping or betraying trust. It's about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon. It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening. About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip. It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention. It's about jealousy, fear, pain, ignorance, and revenge. It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow and spreading it. But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could never occurred alone. Only you choose the way these hearts are affected and those choices are what life is all about.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to ecide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balance lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Hari Belia Negara 2012, PUTRAJAYA
Semua mesti tahu kan tentang Hari Belia ni..
Start dari 23 - 27 May 2012..
Korang maybe menyedarinya, tapi korang pergi tak?
Ramainya orang yang datang, especially pada hari sabtu dan ahad.
Sebenarnya kitorang ada buka boot kat sana..
So, hari-hari datang la..
Tak sempat nak jalan semua booth, coz luas sangat..
Sempat pergi yang mana dekat je..
Berjalan pun sebab si Ida yang ajak..
Dia just tunjuk je mana nak pergi..
Walaupun dah boleh jalan, tapi tetap kena dukung gak..
Takut hilang lak..
Sempena hari belia hari tu, B2B Collection ada buat sale..
Pada hari sabtu, ada fashion showcase..
Ada model memperagakan barang B2B..
Kitorang bawa barang tak banyak, just skirt, shawl dan aksesori sikit..
Maklum la, takut kereta tak muat.
Alhamdulilllah, sale kitorang gak boleh tahan..
Tapi kesian lak kat Ida sebab 5 hari kena ikut kitorang..
Nasib baik dia tak meragam..
Macam pepaham je ngan cara parent dia ni kan..
Dapat gak dia pengalaman dok kat booth, hu3..

True Joy in Life
Many of us have experienced many challenges in our lives. Some we have brought on ourselves leading to unexpected consequences. Other times it's situations out of our control. No matter the case, life can be dark and at times we wonder when the light will shine. We then live with guilt for the pain we caused and fail to forgive ourselves when God already did. The lack of hope takes over causing a deep sadness that cripples our lives. The hole in our heart being so deep we forget that it can be filled. We go through life searching for fulfillment, but in all the wrong ways.
With time there is the realization that no material gain, relationship or outer accomplishment makes us truly happy. It's a temporary satisfaction. True everlasting happiness comes within ourselves. How we feel inside determines our true joy in life. But to attain that it starts with our relationship with God. The belief that he can accomplish the impossible, that there is no obstacle or problem bigger than him.
When a difficult situation arises, there has to be a true belief that he has full control. He will make it right even when we made it wrong. What seems unreal to us is real to him. There is no circumstance in our life that he can't make great. The key is we must believe it with all our heart. We must live by the secret of life, which is to ask Him for what we want, believe he'll bring it to pass and then we will receive it.
It may not happen on our time, but God promises he'll make it a reality on his time. Once we believe that he has us in the palm of his hands, then our soul is at peace. Then we are ready to experience the life of victory he has planned for us. The blessings begin to come into our lives, giving us hope, proving his promise. That is when we no longer worry and we can live in peace, because of the assurance that our life is in his hands. No matter what happens God will make it right.
When life's problems overwhelm us, that's when God is going to take hold and turn our life around. Instead of feeling sad, depressed, worried we should feel joy....because we know that it's time for the greatness God has in store for us.
