There’s more but we can add later, okay?

  • You can’t run away from the work intended for you — accept it, enjoy the challenge, no matter how long or short, and give it your bestest. It’s embracing the journey, tidying your shoes so you can run well and win it.
  • Happiness often comes in small bites, really small at times, its easy to miss — seize it and soak on it as soon as it comes or it’ll be gone in a blink. How joyful it is to wash ones stressful moments with one good laugh.
  • As you keep traveling and exploring, the world becomes much smaller, in a positive way, and you get less intimidated. We all adapt and belong as we pursue our destination, do you?
  • Kindness spawns more kindness; when you receive it even without expecting, you want to spread it around; feel it like that warm, yummy peanut butter in your bread. Pass on kindness to the next person and create ripples until they become waves. As they say, it matters.

  • Get real. You can only do so much for people, if they’re too hard to please or lift up, just leave them in their own world. I cannot also understand people who love being skeptics. There are over a billion people and more who will welcome your effort with open arms.
  • Discipline at work and in anything you do still rules. In fact it should be on top of your list in life if you want to achieve your target. Every pursuit and privilege come with responsibility which requires getting things where they should be. Consistently.
  • One more shot at laughter! I am a sucker for what sprinkles positive spirit! A good one makes heads turn and inspire people to join the fun. It is totally free (unless you’re in a cinema) and you can do it wherever you are. Come on!
  • Work done well and with love is the most special thanksgiving prayer one can do daily. It is also an amazing laguage of making the world better – in action. Love your work whatever it is. No ifs and buts!

Each one of us can give a drop of positivity in our world teeming with pessimism and misery. We cannot allow this to envelop this beautiful planet of ours.
