It is Tremendous When People Pause and Say Thank You

August 17, 2006 at 3:59 pm · Filed under Attitude & Outlook

A simple “Thank You” in the title immediately puts a smile in your face knowing someone was acknowledging something given to him. That’s exactly how I felt upon seeing Steve’s latest post thanking all his readers for the success and good life it has brought them. He went on by saying how feedback from readers have literally brought him to tears with the way he helped in serving the highest good of all.

Seldom do we see people pause for a while, reflect on the success they reached and look back at the people who have helped them reach their goals. Saying “Thank You” is short yet so powerful that brings the receiver a certain level of pride that he has contributed in the success of the person.

I Thought People Don’t Watch TV Anymore Until Someone Made A Big Deal About It

August 14, 2006 at 3:42 pm · Filed under Productivity, Time Management

I never thought about television, nor did I feel that people still watch TV until Steve posted about his 30-day non-television watching exercise. It seems odd but I came to realize it has been years since I watched shows regularly and had it not been for World Cup 2006, it should have been almost two years without TV, which came natural instead of using a conscious non-watching chart.

The last time I remembered watching regular television was back in high school around 14 years ago during the time of Baywatch and Battle of Brains (local intellectual competition); and later I occasionally caught The Practice once in a blue moon. The only time I get to watch television is during an nba finals game (but for the last three seasons I was content on reading the live text report at sports site) and the World Cup which happen once every four years.

They are very important but the problem is businesses are sometimes so glued to their short-term and long-term strategies, product launches, commercial concept creation, expansion, etc. that sometimes they forget about the their customers, taking them for granted thinking that they will always be there patronizing their great product.

An experience worth noting.

The Secret of Achieving Your Goals

August 3, 2006 at 1:47 am · Filed under Goals/Setting Goals

I have just read an interesting article on setting goals entitled How to Set Goals You Will Actually Achieve by Steve Pavlina; which somehow is exactly the opposite of my beliefs and what I have been doing for so many years.

Some of his thoughts on achieving goals include thinking of the present and not the past neither the future and argues – It’s very difficult to achieve a goal that’s based on an inaccurate model of reality — such a goal will surely be an uphill struggle.
