Have you ever fought your heart?
Nervous… I have no idea why, but that was what I felt last weekend. Maybe it’s worry of the project that I have to complete in The Courage to Create program. Maybe it’s a worry as I was working on the new theme on my blog. Will [...]

This is the world of “I”s
“Who am I?”
Do you often ask that question? It’s a very basic question that we should ask ourselves. It speaks about our calling and identity. The answer guides us in what we should do, what the significance of our life is, what our calling is, and so on.
The program I attended recently, The Courage to [...]

Blogging made me better with written words; but how about spoken words or public speaking?

When should you quit? And when should you stick?
This is the second book from Seth Godin that I read after The Meatball Sundae. This time it shared about whether we should quit or not. It’s great if we can become whoever we want, but to be the best at something, we need to quit something.

Big question, little book, answer within. That’s the subtitle of the book. It’s really a little book, not very thick, not even 100 pages. It’s a simple book but I enjoy reading it. The message is straight forward, clear and encouraging. That is to just become who you are.

The Meatball Sundae: something messy, disgusting and ineffective. It is the result of combining two perfectly good things that does not go together. Meatball represents the products and services that used to work successfully in the traditional media, such as TV and other mass market techniques. Sundae represents the social media, Web 2.0 services, which Seth puts as the new marketing. That involves websites, blog, YouTube, MySpace, many other popular and upcoming social media.

Do you need others to achieve your vision?
If your answer is NO, that means your vision is not big enough. If your answer is YES, that means you will need to have relationships with other people. Not only a common relationship, but a winning relationship. That is about how you can win with people.
