“The measure of success isn’t if you have a tough problem, but whether it’s the same one you had last year.”– John Foster Dulles
Sometimes, a simple statement contains so much wisdom.
It’s okay to fail. In fact, fail fast.

Notice that there’s no [...]

Once you understand that failing leads to positive results, then it’s not a question of whether you will fail, but how fast and often you are able to do so.

Do you lie?
I was taught that lying can be appropriate in certain situations. These “white lies”, as we call them, often keep the zen flowing in relationships, while other times, they can help encourage others and give them the much needed confidence to improve themselves.
But we go too far. We really do, especially when it [...]

I’m careless, but it was worth all the marks I lost in those Math tests during my school years.
Many of us come up with brilliant ideas all the time, but we stop ourselves from acting on them because we think it’s just not good enough. We want to perfect the blueprint first, but it often [...]

Many would consider this a high quality problem, but fame and success may not be all it’s cracked up to be. Think back to the days when you were a kid [...]

Ready or not, it’s almost the season when we always write down the wrong year. I don’t know about you, but I’m almost certain that I will be writing 2009, slapping my hand and changing it to 2010.
