My Darling Daughter.

My dear girl, the day you see I'm getting
old, I ask you to please be patient, but
most of all, try to understand what I'm
going through. If when we talk, I repeat
the same thing a thousand times, don't
interrupt to say: "You said the same thing
a minute ago"... Just listen, please. Try to
remember the times when you were little
and I would read the same story night
after night until you would fall asleep.
When I don't want to take a bath, don't be
mad and don't embarrass me. Remember
when I had to run after you making
excuses and trying to get you to take a
shower when you were just a girl?
When you see how ignorant I am when it
comes to new technology, give me the
time to learn and don't look at me that
way ... remember, honey, I patiently
taught you how to do many things like
eating appropriately, getting dressed,
combing your hair and dealing with life's
issues every day... the day you see I'm
getting old, I ask you to please be patient,
but most of all, try to understand what
I'm going through.
If I occasionally lose track of what we're
talking about, give me the time to
remember, and if I can't, don't be
nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know
in your heart that the most important
thing for me is to be with you.
And when my old, tired legs don't let me
move as quickly as before, give me your
hand the same way that I offered mine to
you when you first walked. When those
days come, don't feel sad... just be with
me, and understand me while I get to the
end of my life with love. I'll cherish and
thank you for the gift of time and joy we
shared. With a big smile and the huge
love I've always had for you, I just want
to say, I love you ... my darling daughter.

Thought And Purpose

          Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority the bark of thought is allowed to "drift" upon the ocean of life. Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.         They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a diff route), to failure, unhappyness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe.         A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, ...

It was my EYEs

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.' This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situat...

The 50 New Rules of Work

The 50 New Rules of Work You are not just paid to work. You are paid to be uncomfortable – and to pursue projects that scare you. Take care of your relationships and the money will take care of itself. Lead you first. You can’t help others reach for their highest potential until you’re in the process of reaching for yours. To double your income, triple your rate of learning. While victims condemn change, leaders grow inspired by change. Small daily improvements over time create stunning results. Surround yourself with people courageous enough to speak truthfully about what’s best for your organization and the customers you serve. Don’t fall in love with your press releases. Every moment in front of a customer is a moment of truth (to either show you live by the values you profess – or you don’t). Copying what your competition is doing just leads to being second best. Become obsessed with the user experience such that every touchpoint ...
