Work..?Live..?Work..?Live..?


Have you ever ponder whether you work to live Or live to work?

Well, please let me put it in 3 simple way to help you solve this problem.

1) Negative approach- If you don't work, you can't live or If you don't live and you don't have to work.
2) Positive approach- If you work, you live or if you live means you need to work.
3) Let's combine the negative & positive approach.Well, If you live, you work. If you don't work, you can't live or If you work, you live.
If you don't live, you don't have to work.Hence, work & life come together.
So, don't complain whenever you have work to do. You should be grateful that you are alive. Stay active!GOT IT!

Self-esteem

Self-esteem is another channel to personal development and revolution. Life begins to take on greater splendor as we open up and be pleased about ourselves. By loving and appreciating ourselves, we gain an acceptance of others. Indulging in true self-esteem, we generate wonderful outcome. We grow to be happier, healthier and make a more significant contribution in life.
We always aspired to change for betterment, and when we change, everything around us will start to move too. The value we place on ourselves is better known as the self-esteem. There is always sunshine, only we must do our part. Simple things to do everyday such as thanking yourself whenever we feel great of ourself improvement.Motivate ourself by waking up with positif and mind blowing attitude towards surviving the day and end of the day by saying to ourself....

Appreciation

I think the above is a value we have lost. Our society these days take things for granted, or worse yet, we overpraise someone else in front of the people we take for granted.
Many of us in the younger generation are actually victims of this tragic loss. We tend to value our friends more than our parents and to make it worse we tell it to our parents' faces in the heat of the moment or even through our conduct by our inclination to spend more time with our friends rather than our parents.
Actually it hurts a lot. I recently was the recipient of such treatment. For example, I did so much for a friend but the friend turns round and instead of giving a sincere thanks, it's a thanks BUT "this thing went wrong, another thing wasn't satisfactory", whether or not I was the cause of it, it shows that my friend was not 100% satisfied. Where else that same friend starts praising another person in front of me who did the same thing for the friend, with actually even more flaws, but was put up on a high pedestal.
Putting it into the context of our parents. Many might agree we love our parents at least but then we start complaining about how they don't give us enough freedom, they are partial, etc. Where else we then praise other people's parents how they are so nice, so generous to their kids etc.
It hurts. I just hope and pray that we will begin to see our own flaws and change our ways. I am learning too. Let us give recognition where it's due and do it sincerely with no "buts" and with tact.GOT IT!

Inner strength

How many of us are learning through experience? Some people say, when you experience it, you'll only know. For example, if you are a fast driver, and you happened to witness a bad accident on a road, I bet you'll drive slower for the rest of that day. BUT question is... for HOW long? Probably few days later or a week later, you'll get back to old self. Am I right? How strong are your will power to learn that?
Another example, you never exercise,But you are gaining weight and you are planning to do jogging to lose weight. First few days, you are very excited to jog every morning. Then, let's say after a week, you might say, "OK...Today I need to cancel my jogging because need rest tomorrow continue." BUT question is, are you going to continue tomorrow? How many of you faced these type of situation before?It all comes to your will power and your determination to acomplish the task you set. For some who plan to make that a daily task, this is a tough test of your will power. Try this, do it and set for certain days for you to commit without failure consecutively. You will then automatically do it without you reminding yourself you need to do that task daily. Lets say 30 days is a must for you to accomplish your task.....Then stick to it and never....I mean never stop till 30 days.Congratulation!You're Winner.GOT IT!

Workplace

Well this is something we feel the real nature of a good or bad working enviroment.
The workplace should be where business takes place, not a war zone. Yet many times workers are at odds with co-workers; those on a low rung of the company ladder feel mistreated by those on the top rungs; some workers waste time and raise blood pressures of others with soliciting funds for numerous reasons; some people use the time of others to visit or gossip, causing a loss of productivity and frustration on the part of the person trying to work.
Some things can be 'fixed' only by a person changing employment, but some companies and people have found solutions for a few problems. Guidelines written by a panel of employees and management decided what gifts would be given when. When an member of the company married, a present went from all the business (owners could and often did send something privately as did close friends); the birth of a child received the same kind of major gift. If an employee or close family member died, a plant or flowers was sent. Everything that required a gift or flowers or plants was covered. Solicitations weren't discouraged; they were prohibited.
If an employee's child needed to raise money for school, catalogues and brochures could be left on one table in the break room, but parents could not contact any one directly. Someone interested could and would place an order and leave it in the parent's mail box.
What if the time-stealer is a supervisor, though? Then hopefully the invitation to visit at lunch or on break, when used multiple times, will give the supervisor the idea that the employee really does want to work.
However, at times the only solution for finding peace in the workplace, rather than starting a war, is to move on to other employment.What you think?Life goes on.GOT IT!

I am Cylan

Well being aware from not blogging for sometime had force me to realize something.
Had the golden moment of silent and peace away from this global warnings to find the real me.


WHO AM I?


I am good person.
I have integrity.
I do what is ethically right and good.
Whatever life puts before me will be useful experience that will make me stronger, wiser, and more tolerant.
I am strong enough to understand and make allowances for other people's weaknesses, and their behaviour towards me. Other people's behaviour is about them, not me.
I focus on the joy of living my life and helping others where and when I can.
I am what I eat and drink, so I eat and drink good things.
I am what I watch and play and listen, so I watch and play and listen to good positive things.
I take exercise which I enjoy. I walk when I don't need to drive or take the bus or train.
I smile and laugh whenever I can - life is good - getting caught in the rain reminds me that it is good to be alive to feel it.
I forgive other people. Deep down everyone is a good person, just like me.
I am a compassionate and loving, caring person.
I am a good person.
