some of the simple things which are inspiring

The best give up need to make

This week inspiration is from this. How often you think “Ah, this won’t work” or “If it’s this, I don’t think I can make it”? Honestly, I often doubt myself. Especially when I deal with a new thing and I have very little information. Although on one side of myself is screaming with excitement about the adventure, the other side is the doubting and worrying about it. 「諦める事を諦めました」青石花笑        I’m giving up about giving up – Aoishi Hanae […]

List, details, prioritize and celebrate

This week reading link. I admit that I was busy spinning around in 2014 and I didn’t feel really accomplished, because I wasn’t able to focus on getting my plan completed. I was easily drifted into something else. Like a small kid easily attracted to candy. So, one of my missions this year is to read a new blog post per week and share my learning or relate my own experience. It may not be a breakthrough science, but sometimes […]

Getting 3 stars is awesome, but sometimes we just need to meet the bare minimum so that we can move forward. When we are stronger, we can […]

Getting impatient

Recently I was watching “Miss Pilot”, a Japanese drama, about a lady who has easy going personality and not particularly smart but has a good heart. She was accepted as pilot trainee and surprised that she pass the preliminary screening. (maybe you think that it’s very typical scenario in drama right?) When she was in training with other candidates, they started with different job role before having pilot training. They were thinking that all of those are useless and doesn’t […]

Appreciate and praise

If you bumped into someone you haven’t met for quite sometime and they mentioning something you good at, how would you feel? Happy, naturally, right? A monk used to mention this many times in his talk and his book as well. That, a praise will get you anywhere. Because we like to be praised, to be appreciated. But most of us didn’t feel it or didn’t get it. Sometimes we had done our very best effort, but other people failed […]
