Food for thoughts - for Eugene's New phrase in his life

September 5, 2010 - On the day of coming second week in UST:

To Eugene,

From: Mon

A good quote gives your wisdom and courage. Here are quotes I specially selected together with presuppositions from my own experiences -

Success:

1. It’s not that successful people don’t have challenges. Successful people rise above their challenge.

2. 7. Non-resourceful people don’t exist, only non-resourceful state.

3. The key for successfully settling down is to ask for help.

4. Limiting decision and beliefs keep people from ever rising above their challenges.

5. One may not able to control event but response to events is under his control. How to response is the key to success and separates people from success and failure.

6. If you help enough people get what they want most, you will get what you want most.
(Chris Howard)

7. If you go in search of honey, you must expect to encounter bees. (Thomas Szasz)

8. 没有做不到的事,只有想不到的事。

Strategies:

1. We should have no fear about difficulties, problems and challenges but have fear if you don't have right strategies and resources to tackle them.

2. (在战略上要渺视敌人,在战术上要重视敌人。敌人:心目中的困难或问题)

3. We are what we repeatedly do; excellence is not a sudden act, but a habit.

Future:

1. The future isn’t what it used to be but what you imagine to be. Your imagination and future visioning determines your future and fate.

2. The future will not be fundamentally different from the imagination.

3. The vision of imaginations is the master of fate.

4. Man believes that reality resides in the solid objects he seems around him, that is in this world that the drama of life ordinates, that events spring suddenly into existence, created moment by moment out of antecedent physical facts,. But causation does not lie in the external world of facts. The drama of life originates in the imagination of man. The real act of becoming takes place within man’s imagination and not without.

Creativity:

1. Constraint and limitations and disadvantages bring about opportunities, possibilities and creativity.

2. One door closes and another door opens.

3. Books aren't written to be believed in, but to be questioned. (Umberto Eco)

4. Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.(Nicholas Murray Butler)


Communication:

5. A trouble shared is trouble halved. A joy shared is joy doubled.

6. Anything is possible in the process of rapport.

7. Quality of life is quality of communication.

8. You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across you ideas, your ideas won’t get you anywhere.

9. If you avoid the truth, you pay for your lies.

10. A lie always does the most harm to the person who tells it. (Karen Moline)

11. Everything that can be said can be said clearly. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)

12. Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. (Maori)

13. To learn from mistakes;

To learn to adjust to changes;

To learn to be happy regardless of conditions;

To learn to be forgiving and open-minded;

To learn to be respected and to respect;

To learn to appreciate and thanks-give;

To learn to love and to be loved.

14. Knowledge is not knowledge unless you know how to share it with others. (UST)


Problems:

1. All problems are problems of imagination; all solutions are solutions of imagination.

2. The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at that created them. (Thinking out of the box and find the deep rooted reasons and nutshell of the problems) (Albert Einstein)

3. A problem well defined is problem halved solved.

4. A question well clarified is question halved answered.

5. To attempt changed circumstances before you change your imaginal activity is to struggle against the very nature of things. There can be no outer changed until there is first an imaginal change. (Change starts from deep level of self first)

6. Imagining novel solutions to even more complex problems is far nobler than to run form problem. (Neville)

Emotion:

1. If you can control your mind, you can control the world.

2. Flexibility gains the control.

3. The only thing we have to worry/fear is worry/fear itself.

4. If you can control your emotion, your emotions your friend. Otherwise, it is your enemy.

5. You are in charge of your mind and therefore your result.

6. The relation between emotion and physical conditions are hand-in-hand. Negative emotion creeps back if our body is not in good shape. When you body changes, so does your mind.

Positive thinking:

1. Open-minded people can learn from everything.

2. Closed minded people will lean from nothing.

3. Our greatest glory isn’t in never falling but in rising every time we fall. (UST)Always be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of anybody else. (Judy Garland)

Love and forgiving:

1. As you sojourn through life, forgive. No matter what has been done to you, said about you, or how painful it may be. In the end you will feel the warmth of the tapestry of love you've created. (Juan L. Christian)

2. The love we give away is the only love we keep. (Elbert Hubbard)
