Beautiful That Way

Press here to play or download the song

Smile, without a reason why
Love, as if you were a child
Smile, no matter what they tell you
Don’t listen to a word they say
'Cause life is beautiful that way

Tears, a tidal-wave of tears
Light that slowly disappears
Wait, before you close the curtain
There’s still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way

Here, in his eyes forever more
I will always be as close as you remember from before.

Now, that you're out there on your own
Remember, what is real and what we dream is love alone.

Keep the laughter in your eyes
Soon, your long awaited prize
Well forget about our sorrow
And think about a brighter day
'Cause life is beautiful that way


From the motion picture "Life IS Beautiful" / "La Vita E Bella"

Roland Garros Final

The battle between world No.1 Roger Federer and world No.2 Rafael Nadal in the recent Rolland Garos last for more than 3 hours. Federer, with the record of 1 win-4 lose against Nadal won the first set with an amazing margin of 6-1 that shocked everyone else, including me. I am so overly excited and my mind went "oh Yes! Federer is going to thrash Nadal this time, and become the 6th person in the world to win all major grandslam"

But from the second set onwards, we saw Nadal went all out to fought for victory, while most of Federer's shot looked more like fighting for survival. Nadal won the 2nd set 6-1, 3rd set 6-4 and the gameset 7-6 (7-4).

Federer is undoubtly a more skillful player than Nadal (probably everyone else in the era), whenever he played creatively, he produced some amazing shots. But too bad, he was more like playing safe on that day and got into a lot of unforced errors, whereas Nadal was producing steady returns, and fought like a warrior.

Next year, I hope Federe will win the Rolland Garros (The only grandslam he missed). As for Nadal, hopefully he could win something other than just clay.

The lesson I got: Play Creatively, And Play To Win

Live Dream As If ...

Jack canfield shared how he and Mark sold their 1st million copy of Chicken Soup For The Soul.

They wrote down on a piece of card that read something like " We are enjoying the sales on 1 million copy sale of our book, Chicken Soup For The Soul in 1 DAY", and put it in their wallet.

During a flight, Jack met a lady who markets for a largest bookstore chain across whole united states' airports. He told him about the vision, and she decided to put them on a chartered flight and marathon acrossed the airports around the states to promote the book.

Jack Canfield Live!!!

Today I met Jack Canfield!!!!!!! Yeah, the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Jack talked about "Don't Do" List. And I wrote mine down:

  1. Don't waste my time in googlepenang.com
  2. Don't surf the net more than 2 hours a day, unless I am doing research
  3. Don't spend more than 2 hours with negative people. I don't quite believe in energy will affect the surroundings until Jack show me how water structure will change according to energy of mantra, words...superb
  4. Don't use the word "I can't" or "I try"

You Are What You Say

After a long break from my toastmaster journey, I showed up yesterday, and Gracias, our club's legend mr Randy Teh came back to visit us. I miss his powerful voice, its like andre brocelli doing a speech.

And guess what, before the whole stuff starts, he give me another great insights: "You are what you say. If you say you are powerful, you are, if you say this is easy, it is." During my speech, I told myself, "I am better than Ajahn. I will be as good and natural like when I am rehersing alone. I gain back my control during half way. less shaky, and remember most of my speech.

One more time, "I am a great speaker!"

3 Games 3 Results

Two weeks ago, I participated in 3 business simulation games in a workshop called Building Your Entrepreneurial Empire by clinton swaine.

1st game: We went into bankruptcy, the team was in havoc, and everyone was upset.

2nd game: We went into bankruptcy, the team was having lots of fun, and everyone was pretty happy because we didn't know we were bankrupt until the game ends.

3rd game: We make handsome profit, the CEO lost communication with the Sales and CFO, and the production team (which I was in it) were moaning over not getting enough attention and feedback, and everyone was going their own way.

At the end, what do I got? I got pretty upset and fun and some real hard facts on my own behaviour. Thanks Clinton, you are magnificent!
