TODAY IS A BRAND NEW CHANCE

I remember growing up I always had this glorious encounters with my grandfather every morning. Our home was a typical traditional homestead, there were seven houses built in a semi circle all facing a spacious yard. The house in the middle belonged to my grandfather and my father’s house was at the age of the semicircle. I remember this big tree in the middle of the yard with a wooden bench. It was my grandfather’s favorite spot in the home. 

EGO IS A LITTLE CRYBABY...LEAVE IT AT HOME

1.      Leave your Ego at home

So I am leaving home at 7 am. I am already late for office. I say goodbye to the family but Adrian, my one-year-old son won’t hear any of that. He starts to cry. He wants to tag along…and I think to myself; “If only he could take care of himself”…you see. I do not like seeing him cry so helplessly. Unfortunately, I have to leave him behind……if only I could do something about it. As I walk away, I get an idea. Just the other day a friend of mine was whining about a boss of hers who won’t let her take credit for her work. Bad boss yea?.....that’s beside the point.  She has a problem that I think if she can figure it out she will be a happy woman.

THE POWER OF A WELL FOCUSED MIND

This weekend I was watching a movie starring one of my favorite Hollywood actors; Will Smith. The movie is about the legendary Muhammad Ali. It was done more than 15 years ago but it’s still epic. I love it. My main discovery from the movie is that one of Muhammad Ali’s secret weapons was his ability to keep his opponents distracted. This kind of reminded me of a story about three hunters who went to the forest and found three birds in a tree.
