  We lose more by having the habit of not trusting until we have a reason than by choosing to trust first before a reason not to trust any more shows up. Choosing the latter, yes, would lead to unpleasant consequences when those you trust for no reason disappoints. But at least, it would leave the doors to the heart on both ends open, until the heart finds someone trustworthy enough to keep. On the contrary, choosing not trust at all until you have a reason to trust is sure going to make you suspicious of everyone you meet at the first time.  The suspicion could also, lay the foundation to stereotype those who don’t fit into the culture of those you call, “mind”. Suspicion and stereotyping have caused a lot of people to lose opportunities to make great friends and find great team mates to complete them and help them realize their dreams.  It’s not easy for people with difficult-to-trust attitude to change and move in the opposite direction. Making the transition takes t...

“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.”– Frida Kahlo. Laughter is the best medicine some claim. Is this true? Does laughter improve your health? Yes it does. Humor is the strength that lightens the burdens we all carry. How does laughter give us this strength? It helps us to release anger, gives us the ability to forgive quickly and the reward is, the reduction of pains that in turn, protects us from the destructiveness of stress. It’s almost practically impossible to go through the daily grind of life without facing life’s problems. At every turn and twist, we meet problems in our careers and relationships. These problems affect both our emotional and physical health. Most of us, forget to use the strength that laughter offers us to overcome these problems, grow our careers, strengthen relationships and improve our health.  Experts claim a good hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress and leaves the muscles relax...

Have you just experienced a loss of a loved one, a loss of a job or a loss of something so valuable to you and almost irreplaceable?   Yes. Then you should be going through a rough time right. If the loss of a job is putting you through a financial hardship or, to an insufficient knowledge or skill is making it difficult for you to do something or accomplish a task, then you're having a rough time. If you're going through a rough time, understand that it's part of life. And it's an opportunity for you to become stronger and better by taking the positives and discarding the negatives. This is a fact because it's in tough times that people discover their full potential. Leonardo Bonucci captures this beautifully,  "It is exactly in tough times when we discover our full potential, it allows our mind and body to push ourselves beyond our limits." And never forget that, "Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert H. Schuller. So, no matter...

  Life is a tire swing, while you are here, expect to be down this moment, backward the next, just hang in there, because the tire is going to swing you up and bring you back down. No point is fixed, no destination is owned, while the foolish traveller lives for tomorrow, the wise traveller makes the best of every moment.

  Don't wait,  tomorrow may be too late. Set forth now, now is always the right time and, Now is just the best time and where you are is the best place, to dance with that idea. There's no better way to know if it would work than putting it into action. If it works, celebrate. If it doesn't , learn some valuable lessons and try again; Those who take quantum leaps first master  baby steps. And baby steps lead to a well-balanced life .

A well-balance person is not enslaved by emotional problems. Good and bad things happen to them as they happen to everyone else. When they receive good things from life, they enjoy them without being carried away by the ephemerality of their values. When life gives them the raw deal, they accept it as one of life’s mysteries which don’t subtract from the real substance of life. And what’s life real substance? Life’s real substance is rooted in the knowledge that happiness is within and its value can’t be decreased or increased by  nothing else, except by you, the owner of your self.     Thomas Merton captured happiness perfectly when he said, "Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony."

 People set up businesses to make profits.  Often, profits are outcomes of judicious allocations of scarce resources to competing products and services. It’s not always easy to make profits when a business has competing products, screaming for scarce resources. A business in such a situation has to use a reliable formula to ensure survival, continuity and growth. The most reliable formula is the one that helps the business to take appropriate optimal product mix decision. What is optimal product mix decision? Optimal product mix decision is following the process that helps a business to identify the appropriate product mix that maximizes total contributions to the business by the available limited resources. The application of optimal product mix approach is determined by the nature of the constraints (scarce resources). What are the basic constraints? They are basically two: 1. Single constraint and, 2. Multiple constraints. (A) A single constraint or a key limiti...
