Empathy?

Are you an empathetic person?

Do you understand what “Empathy” is?

Empathy : “The power of understanding and imaginatively entering into another person's feelings.”

“Empathy is about standing in someone else's shoes, feeling with his or her heart, seeing with his or her eyes. Not only is empathy hard to outsource and automate, but it makes the world a better place.”

- Daniel H. Pink

The world can be a better place. One good action every day and you will change the world.

A good action is when you know you did something good. It can be small or big, it doesn’t matter. A good action is a good action, it will bring good things in your world.

“Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.”

- Mohsin Hamid

If you want to live by the golden rule, you need to practice empathy. How can you treat someone like you want to be treated if you don’t practice empathy?

Golden Rule: “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.”

No time?

We all start with the same amount of times. 24 hours a day.

So, why do we whine about it?

What we do with our times is all about choices. You choose what you do with it.

Yes, we all have obligation. There’s things that we need to do.

As simple as going to the toilet. We all have to go when we need to. But, why don’t you use that time to do something creative. I found out that I get some of my best idea in that little room. So, I have a note pad with a pencil in there. When I get an idea, I wrote it before I forget about it.

How much time do you spend listening to the daily news on TV? In what does it help you build your dream life? In what does it help you in any way?

You choose to listen to that. Why don’t you choose to invest that time into something that will help you build your dream?

We all start with the same amount of time, it’s what we do with it that will separate each of us.

Look for it!

Don’t wait for the right moment to do something. You’ll end up doing nothing.

Result will come to you that you take action or not. But if you take action, you’ll have at least some influence on the result. Your action will not always bring what you want, but it will bring some of it.

Every fail has some part of success in it. You just have to look for it.

Being positive is not being dreaming, it’s choosing to look for the good in everything.

Look for the good and you’ll find it. 

Saying power!

The word you say, the way you say them and the image you have when you say them will have influence on reality. You have influence even if you think you don’t.

It’s always better to take some time to think before you speak.

"Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another."

- Napoleon Hill

What you say could break or build.

Even if you try to repair what has been broken. It will never get back to its origin state. When it’s broken, it’ can’t never ever return to what it was.

What you say has power. You have power to influence the world. The words you use will influence what others will think and do.

Most of the time, you don’t see the result of your influence. But it is still there. Even if you think that you don’t have any influence, you do. It’s not about your intention, it’s about what you sent out. With or without your intention, it will have influence.

Power of interpretation

Don’t take everything as it is. There’s always something that is not given to you. The truth is always related to the information you have.

“All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

So, in relation with this concept, when you fail; you can always find something useful from it. So, a fail can become a success just because you didn’t took it as it.

A fail could become a success just because you didn’t gave up and find a way to turn it around.

You have the power to give up or keep going on. Your choice will influence the final result.

Success in action

We all want a successful business. On line or off line.

If I can give you one tip on how to build a business, "Take action".

Some will say: “Hey, I take action and I don’t get the results! Why would I keep taking action if I don’t get what I want?”

-       To that I will say this: “If you stop taking action and wait to see the result, you will never get what you expect.”

And the reason why…   As you stop taking action, you destroy any progress you did make with the previous action you took. And doing so, you don’t get half as much as you expected.

Yes, you need to look at your results, but you need to do this while you keep taking action. Never stop! If your results are not what you want, adjust your action to get better results.

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.”

- Albert Einstein  

The best way to fail all the time is to take no action at all.

You want result; you need to take the shot.

“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”

- Wayne Gretzky

Some will say: “Hey, I don’t know what to do? I don’t know how to start my own business! Can you show me the way?”

-       To that I will say this: “There’s a lot of ways to start a business. There’s as many ways as there’s people on the planet. And maybe even more… Whatever I can give you will never be perfect. You have to make it your own. That way, it will be perfect for you. I’ll give you one suggestion. A business that will show you how to build itself in 30 days. Simple and efficient if you can keep it going on for 30 days.”

Anger against anger?

Using anger to stop anger is a big mistake.

Violence can’t win over violence.

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

- Buddha

Anger is a poison that will kill you in the end.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”

- Buddha

Anger is one of the best sources of regrets when it’s left in the open.

Anger is a strong emotion that could turn into insane violence. Don’t underestimate the power of that emotion.

Keep learning

You that you can always learn something new.

Be open to the outside and you’ll find things that will make you better.

“Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.”

- Og Mandino

As we go along, we get things consciously or not. We learn even if we don’t intend to. When intend, we choose to reach out and find things that could help us. When it’s unconsciously, we learn what we can and sometimes it’s not good for us.

Its way better to choose what we want to learn then letting it comes as things goes along to us.
