I recently read this small story (source):
A university professor visited Zen Master Nan-in to inquire about Zen. But instead of listening to the master, the scholar kept going on and on about his own ideas.
After listening for some time, Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and kept on pouring. The tea flowed […]
Ever see the movie Click starring Adam Sandler? It’s about an architect who is an absolute workaholic who is only focused on getting further in his career. He finds a universal remote that allows him to fast-forward, pause, and rewind through his life.
He uses the remote to fast-forward through his life and stop after he […]
Did you ever hear the saying: “Everything happens for a reason” Or what about: “There are no accidents in life.”
I feel that fortune is one of those things in life that we’ll never be able to fully understand. Fortune comes in so many ways and often times is disguised in forms that we are only […]
That’s a pretty strong title, eh? Well, it’s true. There’s only one person who you can really depend on in your life. Yourself.
How many times has someone told you one thing and did something else? How many times has someone promised to help you out but totally flaked on you? How many times have […]
We’ve all heard the saying before: “That company is a 900 pound Gorilla.” Sure there are many huge companies out there that are deeply entrenched in their particular niches. So entrenched that competition has little to no affect of them whatsoever.

Sure, we’re going to fail and also have a few successes here […]
Remember that movie Pay it Forward? I don’t remember all the details of the movie, but I remember the main idea: a young student comes up with an idea for a class project. His idea is called “Pay it Forward” which means that every time he helps someone, that person doesn’t pay that person back, […]
A few days ago around 11:30PM a close friend of mine asked me to “stop working, get away from the computer, and to give it a rest for the day”. I responded with: “this isn’t work, it’s my life.”
In all honestly, I don’t like to think of what I do as “work.” Indeed, there is […]
Wouldn’t it be So Easy If
“I could just continue to work at my job, make my $60,000 per year, take my yearly 2 weeks vacation, purchase my BMW, and just sit back and enjoy my life without worrying about becoming ’successful’ one day like what those entrepreneurs are trying to do. Heck, I’m already set […]
