I am not sure where did I read this story, but it came to my mind this beautiful morning. The story talked about a couple who lost their lovely son by car accident. After that, their happiness seems being taken away too. They feel no hope in life and it is very painful!

Finally one day, the wife decided to get a divorce. She asked her husband, you just letting your life goes by without enjoying it, right? The husband kept silent, later he wisperd: No, I am enduring it.

I was wondering how many people are enjoying life and how many people are enduring life now. Do you have the habbit of living in the future by deferring your happiness of the current moment? Do you have the feeling the kids are growing so fast, without your notice, they can crawl, they can walk, they can speak already. Maybe you don’t have time to hold their small hand now, but one day when you have time, they’ve had their circle of friends and they don’t allow you to hold their hands anymore.

Remember Journey is just as important as the destination? For me, many times I feel that I want too much, I worked hard on everything I feel is good or important, plus everything others think it is good, but lots of time, we might lost in this pursuing process and forget what’s our purpose to this life by comparing to people around us.

Below is the note I took from the Dale Carnegie Course Session 3 and Session 4. Each note gave me some wow moment and made me think a lot about what the meaning of life, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Event plus Response equals outcome. –So when we complaint about the outcome, have you ever watched your response?

An Enthusiastic attuide is fundamental to self fulfillment.–Oh, attitude is basically everything.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and felling go together. By regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. –It is very true!

When you decide to do thing, you go ahead to it, go make things happen instead of wondering why things happen.

For any person willing to pay the price, he will get whatever he wants to get.

It takes special charactor to attact ppl’s help.

Don’t settle for anything 2nd best, try you best to do as good as you can.

Sometimes, we need to do strong anaystic to get things done in a right way.

People like to be treated like a human being, instead of a piece of equipment.

Not matter how does it look, believe that something good will and can come!

The journey is just as important as the destination.

When you do important things, you feel important.

Focus on others, don’t focus on yourself.

Never lose your faith and hope.

Don’t judge yourself too harshly.

Did you have fun? Are you willing to take risk to the do things? Always live openly and have fun in life.
