A few years back I read about Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle, about his emphasis on dressing for success mantra. Substance should be the first and foremost priority in gauging an employee; but presentation is your first blood attack that leaves a lasting impression on people.

The way a person looks greatly contributes to the respect and seriousness of your business.

Tips for dress for success

I am impressed with Peyton Manning who has shown determination and perseverance in developing into one of the greatest football quarterbacks in history after enduring years of defeat and disappointment.

I go to a video games center at least once a week and try to play one of the physically challenging games like—snowboarding, soccer, and shooting; I would get my share of perspiration, and once I saw this kid perspiring as he was playing for almost an hour in the dance revolution machine. Upon seeing the kid I quickly gasp and hoped video games would be created that would serve as gaming and fitness medium.

If you want to keep your heart healthy but don’t want to drink wine because of its alcohol content, grape juice is your alternative.

I have been working very hard for so many years right now that my sister has continously been reminding and hounding me through emails, text messages, and phone calls to rest, rest, rest, rest…

She forwarded me this email. One thing I noticed is the person did not have a cause in what he was doing.

IN what sense do I feel like I’m Superman? Well, it’s the way I have been living my profesional life the past 8 years.

Ever since I passed the bar, my life has moved at the speed of light. I worked and worked like there was no tomorrow. I felt smarter than a locomotive! I felt I could leap tall corporate ladders with a single bound!

There were times, when I was working in a law firm, where I would work the entire weekend in the office, typing away all throughout Saturday night, finishing Sunday afternoon and submitting the legal opinion to my boss’ house Sunday night.

Then work all throughout Monday morning, afternoon and all through the night, take a quick shower at 5 a.m. on Tuesday and go straight to a hearing. When I left the law firm, I took my already crazy schedule to
another level. I headed the corporate and legal affairs of a retail company, co-hosted a daily early morning TV show, called Wake Up Call, took up a masters degree course in business economics, and co-anchored the primetime news for Channel 9—all at the same time!

Often times when people reach certain milestones or goals; their efforts begin to dwindle down. They become relax and start maintaining status quo. This new found complacency presents itself as stable and firm ground by which we stand. This on the other hand posts risks up font like waning skill set, getting their knowledge stack obsolete making their relevant position off track which makes people highly dispensable.

In this fast growing generation it is important to stay relevant, continously improve, and grow both in professional and personal aspects of life.

How do we remain on top?
