What do people care…?

People care that we care. People all across the world are looking for people that care about them. Think about it. Why do we befriend somebody? I’m sure they are nice, we have common interests, we also like them. But what if they didn’t care about us? Would we still consider them a friend? I’ve heard most people define friendship using words like care, love, and being there for each other.

People want others to care about them. Lets make sure that we are showing that we care about our friends and family. When we  meet somebody new, even if we’re a business owner and get a new client, or meet a prospect, let’s make sure they know we care about them. we could send them a nice to meet you card, or spend some time being interested in the things they are interested in, buy them a neat little gift, or just spend some time with them.

During this holiday season, let’s show people that we do care.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

-Maya Angelou

Einstein… Smart?

“It’s not that I’m so smart , it’s just that I stay with problems longer .” -Albert Einstein

Currently I am responsible for my own income, based on how long I work, how many people I know, and how often I contact the people I know. But I am learning that I am not as disciplined as I’d like to be.

Albert Einstein had an interesting point. He stuck with it, He tried hard to figure things out. I read once that the last 25 years of his life he was working on a “unified field theory”. 25 years is a long time to work on something. When I was taking physics in college, If I didn’t figure out a problem in 10 minutes I’d move on. I cannot imagine working on the same problem for 25 years.

I think what there is to learn from Einstein is persistence and discipline. I must ask myself how bad I really want to get things done, and if am I willing to spend more time doing it.

I suppose I should ‘stay with problems longer’. And if it starts with the mind, then I’ll start by saying:

I am disciplined.

I stick with problems till they are solved.

Oh… And dont forget—–> Eat That Frog!

Bittersweet

This is just me being expressive, Its a very short  poem I wrote about 1.5 years ago. It was when my girlfriend and I were apart for a long period of time.

bittersweet

bittersweet, this is.
the likeness inside our hearts.
combined joy. still apart.

Leaders are readers

I heard recently this little quote, that ‘leaders are readers’. I think that reading, mostly non fiction, is important for many reasons.

One would be that it stimulates thought. I think it keeps your mind going and may pose new ideas that one is not accustom to.  Another reason may be that it challenges minds. We may read something that challenges our way of thought, and may open our minds a but. The other is the obvious quest for knowledge. I love learning new things and reading is almost necessary in order to learn.

I’m interested in hearing what books my friends and people who are reading this blog are currently reading. Please list in the comments below your favorite book(s) and why, also any books you are currently reading and what they are about.

I’ll go first:

My favirite book is probably mere christianity by C.S. Lewis because the author is very logical and it challenged my mind.

I am currently reading: Little black book of connections by jeffery gitomer, It’s a book about networking and making rich relationships.

Thanks all!
