“Efficiency is intelligent laziness.” — David Dunham
Happiness is what I am able to feel. It is a sense of expression. It is a sense of experience. It is a sense of feeling. It is a sense of being. It is a sense of who I am.

“Is it really that easy?”
Yes, it really is, kind of. I would be more likely to say, “Is it really that simple?” The answer to that is definitely yes, but the answer to the question you posed in your article is yes, if you are willing to believe it is easy.

When Adam was gone, I didn’t feel disappointed, weak or depressed, I was angry, I had enough anger to destroy the whole world in a second, I had hundreds of questions that needed to be answered. why was Adam bleeding? he is just a little baby, why he had to go through all of this pain and medications…
when it comes to love, as it comes to everything in life, it’s better to follow our head. but what’s differentiate love from many things in life is love always messes up with our head, especially when we’re inexperience about love. no matter how many novels or movies we watch, when it comes to the first love, we can hardly use our head. unless we’re…

“Of course you are going hiking when you still have stitches,” my friend, Julie Tremaine emailed me as we were trying to get together for a dinner date. I had casually mentioned my hiking and biking trip where I would be MIA for eight days as some dates I wouldn’t be available. Frankly, this thought never…

It’s nagging at you.
There will be times in your life that you might feel stuck and cornered. 2017 for me turned out to be that part of my life. The more I felt stuck the more I pushed hard and the more I didn’t make progress. It was having the opposite effect of what I wanted to happen.
My Story….scratch that My Journey
Tell your story… those are the first couple words that come up on this page to encourage my story. I stared at this screen for what felt like an hour wondering what my story was. Do I have a story? What makes my life a story? I think about those two words and can’t help…

This is an entry in a series of posts where I am trying to improve myself. You can read more about it here.
I like short stories, but I’m not sure you do. If you’re not sure either, you should commit to the following words and life might never be the same again.
Hello Beautiful Voyagers!

This is where many people get hung up. They conflate your first point, “you have nothing to lose” with the thought of losing their time.
The result is paralysis by fear. They fear they’ll lose they time, their youth, their fun.

Thanks for sharing this Anthony. I followed Cole when I saw his post about how he writes 10,000 words a day. I also read some of your work and your top two articles. Congratulations on your achievement, hard work and for not giving up despite some setbacks in the previous year. It is truly inspiring. However, I hope you don’t take my opinion in a bad…
In many ways I agree, but what you describe is more about commitment than love. Like hate, fear or joy, love is an emotion. It happens without our consent; it’s a reaction. We feel it, sometimes unbidden. If we could control it, then it wouldn’t be an emotion, but a choice.

há alguns anos, olhei no espelho e percebi uma pinta pequena bem do lado da sobrancelha esquerda. quase um ponto final, apesar de ficar no início, como se caminhasse em direção ao nariz, mas não o suficiente pra deixar o lado esquerdo do rosto.

You may not be familiar with this word but maybe you already encounter some famous quotes related to this like

Designed after a tech work environment, my high school had computer terminals and corresponding office chairs strewn about everywhere. During a slumber party at school, the rolling office chairs transformed into racing chairs. The chairs were pushed through the…
I’ve experienced this all too well with ghostwriting. I’ve found the best way to do this is increase the price and charge and only take work that interests me.
Funny thing is, I actually ended up making more money with a reduced work load with more time to focus on my own.
The first time I saw a firefly, I was mesmerized, captured, amazed, and present. I remember seeing the little spark and glimmer and…

Below are the five beats (or sections) through which a story usually moves. Asking yourself these five questions will remind you of the five beats. In parentheses, I’ve included a typical fairy tale transition line:

How often do you ask yourself this question? And how often do you think about the positive things that happened during the day with you?I want to tell you about the exercise that I still practice to direct my thinking in a positive direction.
May be I contradict many people with this phrase. This is mainly because of one’s excess focus on negative aspects like failure. Have you ever paused for some minutes when opportunity knocks on your door? Have you ever thought of your past and related it to the current…
Understanding that it’s not the eyes that see was a huge turning point and breakthrough for me. You see (no pun…

Psychology, sociology and human interactions experts say for every good deed we do or even think about there will be at least nine times we will procrastinate, or think negatively on our minds, about ourselves or others.

Once you come to the realization there’s very little you actually need, it’s both enlightening and liberating!
Who is telling you what success should mean to you?
The voice inside of you?
Or the LOUD, VERY LOUD voice of the world around you?

Haha, yeah maybe Chrystel. Cheers for the note and the read.
This is so true: I learned imitation was the first step towards finding my own voice, but it wasn’t sustainable. If I wanted to have a significant and unique impact, I needed to find my own voice.

今年第二場的mindPower Innovation公開工作坊，反應非常熱烈，一百個坐位爆滿，今次的主題用三個字概括：「Love, Pain, King」。
一開始我分享成立這間公司是希望可以幫助行政人員及機構找出他們獨特的定位之餘，讓他們找出自己真正熱愛的工作。蘋果創辨人Steve Jobs曾說：Love what you do, do what you love，但我加了一句：和你所愛的人分享，因為生活不只是工作，十多年前我離開美泰兒也是要照顧女兒，所以如何做你自己熱愛的事情之餘，和心愛的人分享也很重要。
I’ve always thought setting goals like this wasn’t the best way to go about it. Habits are your systems. Focus on creating goals that address the habits, which are things you can control.
So instead of getting 10K followers as your goal, focus on behaviors you believe that will get you to 10K followers and make that your…
We can’t control how others react to us. However, we can control on how we react to others. We live with ourselves. We look in the mirror every day to our reflection. We can even judge ourselves by how we look. If you’re parents, you can control what young kids wear but at some point, they want…
Marking one year.It’s been a hell of a year after leaving a long connection to people, comfortable and secure living to spend time alone in a single room. Rushes, tears, self-decision, time management, controlled expenses, seeking opportunities, restlessness, doubts, requests turned down, patience, fine…
I think being vulnerable is being courageous. Not everyone can do it. Trying to conceal all your flaws to seek people’s approval will burn you out in the end. Having that courage to show the real you and be accepted for who you are is something really admiring for me. I establish connection and trust when others trust me with their vulnerabilities…
This is so true!
One thing that I am struggling with in my writing is that I get stressed when typing. This happens for any type of writing.
