Avoid Time Wasters

Just as saving money is a wise thing to do these days saving time may be even more important. The one resource that is absolutely limited is time. You have only so much, not a second more. You cannot afford to waste your most precious gift - time.

Here are ten easy tips to save some of that precious time:

1. Resist procrastination - it is a big time waster. If you must do it, do it, get it done and stop putting it off.

2. Answer email in bunches, not as they pop up on the computer. Doing all of your small chores in grouped bunches is more productive and saves time.

3. Keep telephone calls short and to the point. Avoid needless chit-chat.

4. Find your purpose in what you are doing - once you have clearly defined what you want to do and why you waste less time and get it accomplished.

5. Get organized. Organized people are more productive and use their time more wisely. Take a little time to get organized - it pays off.

6. Write down your goals and refer to them. People with goals are more achievement oriented and waste less time. People with written goals are many times more productive.

7. Carry reading materials and work with you everywhere you go (except vacation!). When you have to kill time waiting at a train crossing or in a traffic jam you can get a lot done.

8. When you need help ask for it. Don't waste time floundering about a problem when you can get help and move on.

9. Focus on your priorities first thing in the morning. Work on your most time demanding tasks when you have the most energy.

10. Keep a record of how you spend your time for a week. Analyze it. You will be surprised and you will clearly see what you spend too much time on and what you spend too little on. Adjust. Remember the 80/20 rule, most of the time you gain 80% of your gain from 20% of your work. Use that.

The wiser you use time, and more you avoid wasting time, the more time you will have to do what you need to do and want to do. Time is your one limited resource - it is the one thing you cannot buy, rent or steal. Use it wisely.

The Final Exam

The Salty Coffee

The Salty Coffee

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.. suddenly he asked the waiter: "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously: "Why you have this hobby?"

He replied: "When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea , just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there".

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home..

Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life...

And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you -- The Salty Coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication!

I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste..

But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".

Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee?

It's sweet. She replied.

* Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive
* not 2 c but understand
* not 2 hear but 2 listen
* not 2 let go but HOLD ON !!!!

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

Have a Sincere Interest In Others

There are some people who want to talk on and on about themselves with little regard for the person they are conversing with. And while it is human nature to think of oneself first, it is completely selfish and unwise to think exclusively about yourself and have little or no interest at all in other people.

Alfred Adler, the Austrian medical doctor and founder of the school of Individual Psychology, wrote, "It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow men who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others."

So for relationship success, here's how sincere interest works:

If you are able to show sincere interest in other people, they usually respond favorably because you have made them feel more important. But if the interest you show is not perceived as sincere, they will feel like you're just being patronizing or condescending.

So being sincere in your manner is really the key to showing interest. The problem is that it is hard to be sincere when you're not a sincere person. Sincerity comes from caring about your fellow human being as you would yourself.

For some people, it's easier to develop interest in others by looking at each person as someone to learn from. Studying how other people think, feel, and behave can provide valuable lessons on what to emulate as well as what not to in life.

If you're trying to impress other people, don't make the common mistake of talking too much about yourself. You'll find that the reverse approach is more effective. The more that you let the other people talk and allow yourself to be impressed by them, the more likely they will be captivated and impressed by your unexpected interest and attention.

The Bottom Line

There are many strategies and techniques for improving your communication with others. But your effectiveness with other people is more largely determined by your sincere interest in them. You will gain the respect and cooperation of other people by first giving of yourself with your attention, compassion, empathy, and interest. This simple and powerful idea is important in dating, love relationships, and everyday personal & professional conversations.

Winners Never Quit - And Quitters Never Win!

Thought it would be a good idea to write an article about some major failures, so you can see what happens to a man or woman that keeps on failing in what they try to achieve in life.

First case of major failure

One man experienced a lot of failures in the beginning of his career during a period of almost 30 years.
Here's the short version of the list of his failures:

1. Nervous breakdown
2. Was defeated when running for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
3. Lost re-nomination to congress.
4. Was rejected Land officer.
5. Defeated when running for Senate.
6. Lost nomination for vice-president.
7. Lost senate again.

Then 1860 he was elected president and is today considered one of Americas Greatest Presidents.
His name is Abraham Lincoln. What a failure huh?

Lincoln experienced many failures, but he was never a failure because he never gave up.

You can't fail unless you give up - to ensure success you just never give up. "Winners never quit, and quitters never win!"

A few other examples of "failures" include Walt Disney who went broke numerous times and had a nervous breakdown. Enrico Caruso failed so many times in singing class that the teacher continuously tried to make him give up his dream of becoming the worlds best tenor. He didn't give up.

Henry Ford went broke, then became the richest man in the world. Albert Einstein failed courses in math, so did Werner Von Braun.

Thomas Edison failed over 6000 times before he invented the light bulb. Jesse Livermore, the worlds greatest stock trader of all time, went broke time after time and made back the millions after each failure.

No matter how many times you fail, you are never a failure as long as you dont give up! You just need to get up just one more time than you fall down in order to be successful.

Failure is an event, not a person.

The End of My Short Semester Classes

Today, I ended my Short Semester Classes with my Undergraduates' class. This class on "Technocrats and Development" was a very interesting and enjoyable one, full of fruitful discussions and the exchanging of new knowledge among us. Although the students came from different backgrounds, in terms of discipline of expertise, but they participate well and listen attentively to my lectures and also to the class presentations. Well done!
