We all go through tough times.

Wow. All these insights were just great. Indeed, most of us are stuck in job roles we dislike. But in order to phase out of it we must take well thought out steps. Starting something on your own is the most sought after option. However, to do that well , one must be aware of the strengths that he/she possess. This can be of some merit here…

有個早上天未亮就醒來，忽然心血來潮問自己：2010年我做過什麼？
我在2009年和2011年都經歷了畢生難忘的變化，但中間這年，到底做過什麼呢？我去過什麼地方、見過什麼人？只記得那是不容易過的一年，但無論如何回憶，就是想不起當年發生過什麼事。
When I just listen the word FRIENDS, my mind moves in multiple dimensions and a beautiful smile suddenly appears on my face and that smile I assured 100% different from the ordinary one. Yes, I admitted that friendship is not a blood relation but much valuable and precious than.
It is very important to know about how to win friends and influence people because by this way you will be able to make strong connection with people and make good friends.

Congratulations, you’re a business owner! You (and your team) have poured your blood, sweat, and tears to get your passion off the ground. Now, how do you keep the fire burning without burning yourself out? Here are three lessons I…
Most of people are neither curious about their passion nor about life. They are playing safe without any risk taken. Why din’t most of people start a trillion dollar company like Apple or why can’t be a Leader or doesn’t think out the box ?
If we weren’t so accustomed to it, a phone call would be an awkward way of communicating. It lacks all the subtle visual cues we rely on when talking in person, while also lacking all the careful planning that go into written communication.
“So, what do you do?”
Don’t you hate that question?
It’s that cliché question that comes up during cocktail parties, weddings, business luncheons; you name it. It usually springs up during a brief, awkward silence…
Most of the time shortcuts turn out to be detours.
Detours that need all of your attention, time, energy and resources to get back to where you initially wanted to go.
You don’t need a fancy phone to get started.
Or a million dollar funding.
Or advisers.
You don’t even need a blog to get started blogging.

Innovation may even be as overrated as “viral” or “growth hacking.” And yes, innovation is not just simply coming up with an idea, but more about the systems and structures that should come along in the execution of that idea.

Motivation vs Mindset:
In my decade of entrepreneurial journey; I figured out many things.
Out of that; I found something annoying about #motivation i.e. it is temporary and influenced or dominated by the motivator as well as it is limited to his/her aura!!!

I would see myself as a digital nomad of sorts. Though I have a home office, I do like to create field offices. In my area of Florida there are plenty of local nomads in my area. We have walked away from job certainty. But, I will say that the nomads (even on a local level) invest in the community that allows them to do their work.
