What if we can turn our limitation into advantages?

For readers that have been following me long enough will know that I used to have “turning limitation into advantages” as the big theme of this blog.

This will be a short notice!

Reason-4-Smile has a new companion site, Reason-4-Smile Library. Yes, it’s a new blog. While this blog will share insights and inspirations, the Library site will focus on the books, podcasts, or any other resources that I’ve ever picked.

I’m also going to provide links between them. Each post in library will have link to the articles in this blog (”Read Articles” link). On the other hand, the post in this blog will have the link to the corresponding review in library. One example is my previous post here (You can say ‘I don’t know’)

You have the choice.

Both will have different style. You can either choose between the insight and reflection here, or the raw material and review over there. If you’d like to subscribe to the Library site, these are the link. You can subscribe by Email and/or RSS.

Thank you so much for all your support.
Hope that this blog (and that blog) will always be an inspiration for you!

We can learn so much from saying “I don’t know”. If you are not comfortable saying it yet, you may want to ponder these questions…
