今天是怎样的一天?

今天是怎样的一天?

在往巴生的Kesas Highway上奔驰,突然一颗疑似石头的东西,敲击在我车的前方大镜上,就这样多了一个星型的裂痕。我还不知道要怎么处理,我刚刚不久才弄了防晒防爆的tint film,心痛-ing……

顾客们都说拨款不够,不能多买。左算右算,现在的业务额距离目标还挺远的,真恼人……

心情还真有够糟的,就这样怀疑这一天是不是倒霉的一天,猜想接着会不会更运衰。时间每一分每一秒,就在垂头丧气,满腹抱怨中,悄悄的过去了。

后来有人说,现在经济不景,到处都听到人们唉声叹气,怨声连连,为这个世界累计越来越多的负面能量,大家只会愈加意志消沉,何不积极乐观一些,力求在困境中闯出一片天。一语惊醒梦中人,我也不再心烦气躁,顿时恢复信心与活力。

《Secret》、《The Law of Attraction》等众多激励书籍,都传达着类似一样的讯息——Positive Thinking,是通往成功与快乐之途的要素。Zig Ziglar 也告诉我们:“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

其实抛开励志书籍及成功人士的忠告,大多数人都知道积极的心态的重要性,可是能够不受外界影响,保持积极乐观心态的人,却是少数。不是吗?有人抱怨生意受经济风暴影响,有人抱怨上司施加太多压力,有人抱怨每天塞车等……这些都是我们常常听到,也是我们曾经都有抱怨过的。可是抱怨过后,只会让心情越来越低落,没有mood工作,情形不但没改善,还会越来越恶化。

积极的心态不是与生俱来,也不是自然而然的,是需要我们不断提醒自己,刻意地去培养。任何事情都有其积极的一面,只是看我们从怎样的角度去审视。正如Winston Churchill所言:“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Oprah Winfrey也说过:“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.

因此,日后不管世界给与我们多大的考验,且让我们微笑着说:“今天是美好的一天!

来一个心灵大扫除!

年尾假期多,又逢清假时,难得悠闲。花了一天,清洗厕所、打扫睡房客厅、抹地、洗衣……整间屋子整洁舒适多了,心情也愉快多了。

还记得没什么纪律的我,用了东西总懒得放回原位,老是把睡房书桌弄得乱七八糟的。看着乱糟糟的房子,心情也特别烦躁。待稍为空闲时,或忍无可忍时,才来个大扫除,心情也会跟着打扫后的房子一样,焕然一新。

居住的环境与人的情绪息息相关。趁新年即来临,打扫房屋,也给自己的心灵房子来个大扫除吧!

肤浅的遐想


看了《Twilight》,深深的沉醉在男女主角浪漫凄美的爱情故事中,深深的迷恋于男主角Edward Cullen俊美的外表,和不顾一切保护爱人的勇敢。如果说爱慕外表是一种肤浅,如果说沉溺于虚幻世界是一种肤浅,那么就让我肤浅这么一次吧。

没有双鱼座的温柔,却继承了双鱼的喜欢幻想,不切实际。有时我甚至觉得自己不适合看戏。无论是恐怖骇人的《I am Legend》,浪漫唯美的《Twilight》,描画现实勾心斗角的《珠光宝气》,总让我入戏太深,无法自拔……

或许我真的要减少看戏了。才能更加贴近现实生活,才能更脚踏实地,好好地活出自己。就这么决定……

Thanks to Brian Tracy!!

I'm so glad that I attended Brian Tracy's seminar. Thanks to Raymond for the kind offer, or else I would have missed the splendid talk and more importantly, the turning point of my life.

No doubt Brian Tracy is a superb speaker and motivator. By listening to him, your dreams soared and your desire for success burnt like roaring furnace. We've always heard of the phrase "No pain, no gain", and there is also a Chinese proverb saying “吃得苦中苦,方为人上人”, but from Brian Tracy, you will learn that you can be joyous in your pursuit of success, simply by tuning your self-dialogue to a more positive mode.

Great speakers might not be great practitioners. But Brian Tracy excelled in both. He started off his life with few advantages. He began working to support his family since he was ten, and he left high school without graduating and worked at laboring jobs for several years. But he is now a successful businessman and one of the top professional speakers in the world. He has consulted for more than 1,000 companies and addressed more than 4,000,000 people in 4,000 talks and seminars throughout the US, Canada and 40 other countries worldwide.

To learn more about this great man, you can access to his website: http://www.briantracy.com/. You can even get a free e-book entitled "Million Dollar Habits" by signing up for any of his free Newsletters. I just bought one of his best-sellers, "The Psychology of Selling". It is great!


I have been passive and lost of direction for about a year, until his speech changed my thinking and mentality, and then my life. Thousand thanks to Brian Tracy!
