Three Good Guides

August 3, 2012 5 Comments

wealthymatters.com This post is just my personal notings from this post from Alex’s blog.

There are gurus, self-help books and religions that for a price of our freedom and resources will tell us what we want to hear. The guidance may be wrong, restrictive and potentially a mind trap of following another’s path rather than our own.

There are three alternative guides:

1. Inner Voice

Always honest, has our best interests at heart, and loyal to us. The Inner voice speaks to us in three ways:

Dreams

Presents the problem and then the solutions. All we have to do is remember the dreams; identify the problem; translate the dream code.

Intuition

Flashes of inspiration; those eureka moments; the mind makes the connections and then presents them. Read more of this post

Never, Never, Never Give Up – The Story Of Harland Sanders

August 3, 2012 6 Comments

wealthymatters.com Harland Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders had a hard life and failed many times. His father died when he was five years old. His mother had to find any work she could, so she worked in a tomato-canning factory. Harland dropped out of school when he was 12.

Harland had many jobs, including: steamboat pilot, railroad fireman, insurance salesman, and farmer. His marriage failed; his wife left him when he lost a job. But he did not give up on life.

Go Get A Life – You’ll Make More Money

August 2, 2012 2 Comments

wealthymatters,com Here is one more small piece from Alok Kejriwal:

“If you go for a live music concert or a dance performance at the NCPA (National Center of Performing Arts) in Mumbai or listen to an Opera at the Jamshed Bhabha auditorium next door, you will marvel at the massive contribution the Tatas have made to the Art scene in India.

Given this background, if I were an Austrian CEO who can run a steel plant as efficiently as I can play the Oboe, I will be far more motivated to join the Tatas as the CEO of TISCO rather than become the CEO of some Industrial House in India whose CEO cannot understand if the Oboe is a wind instrument or a Shoe.

Life and business is being cultivated way beyond the dusty corridors of factories and sheds. I wish that all wannabe entrepreneurs and inheritors of family businesses understand this early on!”

Bonding and networking often takes place outside of business hours and business places.It is good if business and/or investing is your major interest but allow other parts of your personality a chance to develop.Cultivate your interests in the arts,sports,hobbies & leisure activities,government and politics,social service,philanthropy etc.Aside from helping you meet other like minded people you are bound to become a lot more creative because of these diverse influences.

Remember all work and no play makes Jack/Jill a very dull person indeed!
