"Who we are today is not as important as who we want to
be in the future. We can still shape our future into what we want
it to be."
"Surely, we have no control over what could, would or
might happen in the future, not even in the next five minutes. We
have to continue to build our life today, so that tomorrow will be a better
day."
"We constantly have to decide between what we want to
do and what we have to do. Of course, eventually we have to choose
doing what we have to do."
"Waiting would not change anything. I soon realize
that waiting for something BIG to happen without making any real effort
and without executing tangible, realize plans is just as good as waiting
for the moon to fall onto my lap."
"Life is filled with paradoxes and ironies. In order
to give us strength God gives us challenges."
"God gives us opportunities; some see opportunities, while
some see problems."
"Make a lot of money, retire early and enjoy life while
you can. You see, you only live once, so live life right!"
"Decisions are about making the right choices (Nobody
wants to make the wrong choices anyway). No matter how hard pressed
we are, we have to know that we have choices."
"We may dream of 'flying to the moon and playing with
the stars'. But before we can do that, we need to do certain things
first."
"We need to set our dreams, choose the right vehicle to
achieve our dreams, transform our dreams into tangible goals and last but
not least, we need to act fast as if our life depends on it."
"Things that you want would not fall into your lap without
you putting up a fight. Winners do not quit, only losers do!
One thing that differentiates winners and losers is that winners do not
give up."
"Sometimes when something 'bad' happens, we need to learn
and find the strength to resolve and handle the situation in the most immaculate
way."
"Sometimes, we just need to hold the bull by the horn
and face each situation openly, resolving them with care and wisdom.
Someone once told me, 'Do not let the fear of striking out stops you from
playing the game.'"
"We can't control the inputs and stimulus that come to
use. But we sure can control how we respond or react to them."
"If someone says something negative about you, do not
let it affects you. Let the attack roll off like water on glass.
You should not let the negative comments take away the good side of you.
React properly and your day will not be ruined"
"When the chips are down, I do not spend too much time
finding out why they are down. But I need to know which chips are
still standing and make the best of what I have. I learn from my
mistakes and claw my way back."
"Falling down flat on my face is beginning to be a common thing. But picking things up and putting the pieces back together and forging forward is a brave thing to do. These are the trademarks of a true champion."
