Secrets To Happiness : IT’S OK

Secrets To Happiness : IT IS OK, NEVERMIND

Yep, very often we make everyone unhappy by getting ourself into all sorts of unnecessary troubles and hassles, all simply because we refuse to “let it go”.

Some situations and problems might not be very pleasant to “swallow” or “tolerate”, but is it really necessary to waste our precious time and efforts just because we want to “show em” or “teach them a lesson”. Why can’t we just let it go and move on with our life. Isn’t it better to spend our time on more productive and positive worthwhile endeavors?

Unfortunately, too many people feel that whenever they are mistreated or “stepped on” by somebody, it is a matter of “dignity” or “principle” that they should “retaliate”. You might think that the other party “has no idea what I am capable of doing”, but do you know what they are capable of doing? Is it necessary to get hurt or worse, to get killed, over some very minor stuff … all because you feel that you can’t let it go?

Mind Over Matter - If You Don’t Mind, It Does Not Matter!

At the end of the day, our time is precious. Our family is precious. Our future is precious. Our life is precious. Learn to protect it. Do not get into unnecessary “troubles” just because we do not have sufficient “tolerance” or “patience” (forebear). It is all a matter of self-control and self-discipline. For the sake of your future, learn to swallow your pride and stay alive. Move on with your life … there are more important things to do!!!

Learn to say, “It Is OK!” and “Nevermind!” and everything will be just fine :)

Oh, Btw, Merry Christmas And A Very Happy New Year 2008 To Everyone. CHEERS :)

Secrets To Happiness : SERVE

Secrets To Happiness : SERVE

One of the best way to find happiness is to learn to serve others. Our ability to serve others willingly and effectively will increase our self-confidence and sense of dignity. The late Mother Theresa of Calcutta is a very good example of someone who served others selflessly. Mother Theresa signified love. Mother Theresa signified care and concern for one another. Mother Theresa signified God’s grace and comfort.

Unfortunately, many people who are “forced” to serve others because it is their job, tortured themselves and their “customers” day after day because they are not doing it willingly. If you are in “customer service” or sales / marketing … how will you succeed if you are not genuinely interested in serving others? If you work in the front-line of any company or organisation, your ability and effectiveness in providing your customers the best possible service depends a lot on how much you really enjoy serving others. And at the end of the day, your ability to do a good “job” of serving others will decide how much business your customers are willing to keep giving your company and you. See? Since you “have to” do it anyway … why don’t you learn to enjoy it and makes everyone happy: you, your customers, your co-workers and especially your company. It is a WIN/WIN situation. Everyone wins, everyone happy. :)

“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, `Make me feel important.’ Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.” - Mary Kay Ash

Learning to serve others is not difficult. You just need to:

  1. Show respect for others and humble yourself.
  2. Listen to others more and talk less.
  3. Put more focus on others, and less on yourself.
  4. Be understanding and sympathetic towards the weaknesses of others and know that nobody’s perfect.
  5. Forgive others for how they “mistreat” you through their words or deeds, intentional or otherwise. Make yourself invulnerable to any deliberate or accidental effort to hurt or demoralize you. You are the only person who can decide whether you are gonna feel angry or hurt or not - others can’t and have no power to do so.

At the end of the day, the secret to successfully serving others and enjoy it at the same time is: “To Serve Others Continuously Despite Of How They Act or React Towards Your Efforts. If They React Positively, Good. If They React Negatively, Just Let It Be. You Serve Because You Want To. You Serve Because You Choose To. And You Will Continue To Serve And Enjoy Serving Others For As Long As You Wish”.

Once serving others become part and parcel of your life and you begin enjoying it … you will notice that it becomes more and more effortless. And of course, you will become better and better at it. You will become a person who is experienced and “seasoned” in serving others and service will become an art to you. If will be a delight for you to serve and others will enjoy being served by you too :)
