How Hungry Are You To Succeed?

It is amazing how strong one can get if he or she is hungry enough. Success largely depend on how hungry you are. its not about the build or the size of your body. Its not about the people you already know. Its not about the skills you already have. its about your desire. How hungry are you to succeed?

Here is a little clip that, after watching, can inspire you to be more hungry...

Why are Dogs Man's Best Friend

Found this in a local forum. Its heart warming to note that this dog brave across the street to save his friend who was knocked down by a car.

However, after realizing that his friend was already dead, he tries his best to move it away from the traffic. Knowing that he was too weak to do that, he stayed behind to keep his friend company.

There are times where passerby wanted to help but was barked away by the dog. It is a classic example of why they are called 'Man's Best Friend'.

I wonder sometimes, if the people around us will go to that extend and stay around when you are in trouble, or will they just leave.

Belief - The David Beckham Story

This is a David Beckham's interview on how he survived after the World Cup of '98. The belief he had, the strength and the support of his family helped him to re-establish himself and to win the hearts of those who once betrayed him.

Are You Missing Opportunities?

Before I start babbling about the universe and laws, I want you to watch this video and maybe follow the instructions very carefully. If you do what is asked, you will be more aware of the reason why success eludes you. After that, read on.



Have you watched the video? What do you think of it? Did you see the 'opportunity' in the form of gorilla? Sometimes all we need to realize is that opportunities are everywhere. But because we are focusing on the wrong things. Things we always called problems, we do not realize they are also opportunities dressed in overalls.

The Law of Attraction states that you attract into your life the predominant thoughts in your mind. If you choose to complain and focus on problems, that’s what you get! If you choose to focus and look out for opportunities, you will see them everywhere!

So, stop whining and complaining. Focus on what you are grateful for everyday. You will notice a dramatic change in your life. Not sure about that? ask the gorilla!

Free Hugs Campaign: How Did It All Started

How Did It All Started, In The Words of Founder Juan Mann

I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.

Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.

So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.

And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.

Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.
