I came cross this presentation online from June Dershewitz . She give this presentation at eMetrics. The whole contents make perfect sense for me, so I’d like to share it with you in this beautiful winter morning.

It just stopped rainning outside, lots of the leaves are blown away by the wind. The air is clean and crispy. I just finished my morning Yoga session. I took several deep breaths in the parking lot. Looking around the beautiful houses in the neighborhood, I feel that this world is so peaceful and wonderful. Oh, life is so beautiful.

What I love the most of this presenation is the ‘Knowing yourself’ part! It categorized it by Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. I love the way she put it and I believe everyone comes to this world for a mission. We just need to keep exploring, find out our mission, know more about ourselves, understand the outside world, then we can come up the self awareness of what you are good at doing, what you should stay away, what can be changed in your life, what can not be changed, or you should not even touch, then you can enjoy the journey. After all, you know yourself the best and it is you who cares about your future the most.

Hope you find your path leads to your career happiness, furthermore, life happiness! Sooner the better!

Oh, last but not least, here is another interesting Zen Habbit article I’d like to share with you today. I love it when one lady asked authors: My hubby lacks interest in anything except boating. How can I motivate him to get off the sofa? (via @organizedsandra)

The authors replies: I don’t think you can motivate others — if they want to do something, they’ll do it. If they don’t, then don’t make them.

However, you can influence others in positive ways. I’d recommend setting an example by doing, and sharing how great it is, without judgment for what he’s doing. If he’s happy doing what he’s doing, then that’s great. If he’d like to do more, then be there for support — but don’t push.

You can ask for his help, as well, in your efforts. Sometimes spouses love to help, and that can rub off on them and get them thinking about trying it themselves. Or maybe not.

In the end, worry more about what you’re doing and less about what he’s doing — he’s living his life and you’re living yours. People don’t like to be pushed or judged or badgered, but like to be loved and accepted.

Little off topic, huh? I guess what I want to say is–take control of your own life, work on the things we need to work on. But, never try to control or change others, even people you love the most or love you the most.
