Some quick tots.

'Be thankful!' I'm always advocated. Competition is good for growth. But too much will lead to a bad-intentioned heart. We always hear Only True Friends Delight in Your Success. That's really true. I wish to have more friends like this. I myself also want to stay unenvious of anybody, count my blessings everyday, and delight in my friends' successes around me & not with a green-eyed vision. Yea!

The book i'm reading lately is "Talent is Never Enough" by John C. Maxwell. It's only the beginning and am already so blessed by it. It warns of relying too much of talent only, and how to protect & nurture the talents we have that they can grow to something meaningful and contributable and thereby fulfilling our dreams/goals in life.

A quote from the book by "Irving Berlin" - 'The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in business. You've got to KEEP WORKING THAT TALENT."

Sometimes knowing that we are good at something may ironically turned out to be that exact stumbling block that we toppled over if we just rely on it and don't have our characters checked constantly. We see really talented ppl not able to unleash their real potential in life and instead it's the never-give-up type who finally made it to be really successful.

So many thoughts, so many things i still need to learn.. jiayou!
