The 3 Secrets of the Favored (Part Two)

Image
This is the part two of the article Secrets of the Favored. In case you haven’t read the first part, here it is . The part one discussed about how loyalty to one’s passion can result to amassing of huge wealth and fortune, and this part of the article reveals the second secret of the favored; and that is silence. If there is Power of Word that I explained here , there is also Power of Silence. This is also one of the reasons why most of the successful people in science, corporation and even entertainment industry are the ones who are silent and introvert. Successful people take time to be alone and have a moment of silence on a daily basis. It is when they are having a private moment with themselves for the revelation of new ideas, innovation, and solutions to problems. It’s doesn’t only give them new ideas, it also refreshes their minds and recharges their spirits. Even an effective prayer requires silence. Needless to say, silence is a very powerful practice that has b

Sunset Story

Image
“When you look at this picture, what do you see?”, asked a middle-aged man.  I was surprised when he approached me and asked me this question out of the blue.  Before I looked at the picture, I stared at him.  He seemed familiar but I cant recall where I saw him.  Maybe I met him somewhere, maybe an old friend, an acquaintance or something.  He caught me off-guard with his friendly smile, meek appearance yet full of wisdom.  He looks ordinary, wearing jeans and a shirt but he seems not from this place. He is different from everyone else around me, or at least  my vibes would tell me so. I looked at the picture and I said, it is a beautiful sunset.  I told him that he is a good photographer.  He smiled, thanked me and asked me again what do I see.  Then I took the picture from his hands and sat down and begin to examine closely the picture.  I told him that I can see many things.  The water is calm, the sky is a bit dark and it may rain.  I can see a fisherman trying to make a

The 3 Secrets of the Favored (Part One)

Image
We all know know that one person who seems to be fortunate to prosper anything that they touch; be it relationships or wealth. Or we all know that one person who seems to be very lucky in anything they do. But what if I tell you right now that that's not merely an accident? What if it was never a fluke to be at the right place at the right time when an opportunity comes? Apparently, there are some people in this world who figured out how to be the favoured one . I know a lot of people who were so good at school and in fact graduated with honors but landed an average job, earning a little and not maximizing their potentials. Whereas some of the people I know who didn’t do good in school are earning twice as much as ten average people combined. In fact, what some highly educated people can achieve in ten years, these people who were not very intelligent at school can establish in three short years. Fluke? Luck? As unbelievable as it can be, there is a pattern .

Not an Ugly Duckling but a Beautiful Cygnet

Image
BEAUTIFUL intentions and good gestures does not always guarantee acceptance from people. Sometimes things go south no matter what we do. S o, you have the feeling that you dont belong? You are trying your best to blend in but its just so difficult. Everyone is different....or maybe you are different. W ith so much memories I have with my mom, one of the fondest I can vividly remember is the bed time story that she would always tell to my younger sister. The story is about the ugly duckling.  As my mom would narrate the story, this ugly duckling is having difficulty with her siblings and friends.  She is ugly and different, at least from their perspective.  She is being teased and sidelined all the time.  They put her down and she lost all her confidence in life.   A s they are growing up, this ugly duckling is becoming different than the rest of her siblings and peers.  Her ugly feathers are developing quite well and her neck is getting longer.  As the t

Excellence is Not an Act

Image
D id you ever excel on some things but fail miserably in other things? If you do, then you are just acting.  Congratulation! You just discovered that you are an actor or actress and you’re good at it.  You take the role of that field where you excel and your acting on it quite fairly.  As long as you keep your position where you’re good at, then you deserve to be recognized as a great artist, a star in that field. H owever, excellence is not an act, it is a habit.  People are getting in the wrong notion that succeeding in certain area of their lives makes them successful and yet they fail miserably in other things.  This is the reason why a lot of so-called successful people are in depression or into drugs or living a double lives because they may have excelled in their profession or career and yet they lost their quest mostly in the most important things in their lives. R eal successful people excel in almost every area they put their hands into.  These are the people

The Number One Reason Why You Don't Succeed

Image
Have you been into self-help materials but still find yourself in the same situation, the same place, same financial status year after year? Maybe you’ve been wondering what is wrong with you when all the success formulas don’t seem to work for you. I felt the same thing until I’ve discovered why some self-help books fail: the number one reason why you don’t succeed. I can tell you hundreds of ways to the path of success but this is also what tons of books teach people and I think some of them missed one thing. Self-help materials teach you steps to achieving your goals in life; answering the question “why some people are successful?” but fail to provide the answer as to “why some people are not?” Just like some authors point out the habits of successful people; I think it is also important to figure out the behavioral patterns of unsuccessful people. And the number one factor that affects one’s failure is feelings. If your productiveness depends on your mood
