Meet the Robinsons, an ‘old’ movie, considering it’s first debut in 2007. I am not an anime or computer animated story fan. Yes, I do agree that all the characters are well created, rendered and animated. But personally, what is more importantly is that the story of this movie. It captured my attention and touched me emotionally. To me, this isn’t a WOW movie, where you watched, amazed by the effects and characters building, and forget kind of movie, it depicts some real life lessons.

Frankly speaking, by looking at the title of the movie, it doesn’t motivate me to watch it, until my friend insisted that I should. Of course, I am going share some reviews and inspirations I have got from the movie itself. If you have not watched it, please go and get a legal copy or rent it. If you have watched it, and yet haven’t get any inspirations out of it, please go and watch it again.

Long story short, the main character, Lewis grew up in an orphanage, awaiting to get adopted. He is a brilliant kid that always likes to work on  his invention projects. Unfortunately, all his adoption interviews did not went well. He starts to get worried, as once he turns 13, it would even be harder for people willing to adopt him. The sad thought makes him want to look for his mother, to see what his mother looked like, and maybe she would want him. So, he works on inventing a machine that scans through the brain and replay memories, and goes to participate in the invention fair. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you consider yourself rich or poor?  Have you been holding on to those why questions like:

• Why am I just not making enough?
• Why am I still so poor regardless of how hard do I work?
• Why am I not as successful as my friends or relatives, etc.

I used to embrace myself with that thought too. But not anymore, as I came across the following story that drew my attention to realize how wealthy and fortunate I actually am.

Being poor is not as scary as, if a person were to secure and lock himself/herself up with the thought of being poor. In fact, that’s a pathetic thought when one were to acknowledge the fate and destiny that one was born poor, and die poor. Poor man, poor life. The difference of a filthy rich and poor person,  is not the actual amount of money he/she is holding on to; but the thought - to stay poor or move yourself to the greener side of the meadow.

There was a young man always grumbling, blaming, and complaining about the fact that why was he not born rich, why was he unable to get rich. It was until one day, an old  man came along, saw this unhappy young man, and asked for the reason of his unhappiness, when he should have been a cheerful, passionate, and motivated young lad at this young age.

The young man answered, “I do not understand why do I have be born poor, grew up in a poor family, and most probably I’ll continue living in this way till my last breathe in life. I have so many things I wanted to do, so many wishes that I hope to fulfill. I want to learn to play music so that I can attract a good and pretty lady. I want to get married. I want to roam the world and see how beautiful the world is out there with my beloved. But I can’t do all these, all simply because I am POOR!”

The old man took a good at this young lad said, “You, poor? I can see how rich you are! ” Read the rest of this entry »

Adversity is a fact in life for anyone and everyone, regardless whether you are famous or not. That’s just a solid fact. It has always been the case where how much we would love to read about, hear about how successful famous people are, but tend to forget about the fact that they do face with adversities in life as well.

In my humble opinion, successful does not determined how wealthy you are, how reputable you are, how much power you get to live with. These are just the results. Most importantly is the process of getting there.

Personally, I think that successful is how well a person handles adversities, issues, problems, that he or she encounters in life, business, work, etc. Putting it simply, it is how well one devotes fully in overriding any obstacles he or she encounters.If you have not been successfully picking up yourself from the falls you previously stumbled upon, do yourself just this favour… Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever given yourself too many excuses, be it in life or in business, and eventually ended up doing nothing? That is simply what a procrastinator does, and you can read about the graveyard for procrastinators. We made ourselves the victims instead or being responsible for our choices. Absolute Personal Responsibility or APR, is something that is within us, we have the choice of blaming others, as well as the choice to make a change.

As like what Robin Sharma had quoted, “I am the captain of my soul, I am the master of my faith”, and you have the power to dictate the change, because you have the power and the responsibility to your decision.

Here’s the video by Robin Sharma:

Are you happy with the way you currently live your life?Here is a little story that I would like to share with you:

There was a poor but happy and helpful farmer, though he lived in poverty, but that did not stopped him from trying to help others, and in fact he enjoyed doing so. Those that received help from him, were thankful to him, and the farmer was friendly in return.

And one day, he happened to saved a child, whom was in fact an angel in disguise. And due to his kindness, the angel decided to grant him one wish. So the angel asked the farmer “If I were to grant you one wish, what would you wish for?” The farmer said that “For all my life till this age, I have been living in poverty. It would be great, if I become a millionaire”. And yes, his wish came true.

Defeat is often a taboo to successful people, most of the time they would rather think in the way that they are getting a set of results that is different from their desire, instead of having to admit that it is a defeat.

Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory. – Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993, American Preacher and Author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”

When we talk about defeat, we are putting ourselves at a point of despair, as well as a defeated position of which “I can’t do it”, or “I am unable to do it”, and very much linked to “impossibility”.
As we have talked about in the previous post, that Arthur C. Clarke had said that the only way to discover the limits of possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

If we were to admit defeat and talk about defeat before getting into and beyond the impossible, how would we ever be successful?

Being successful, is everyone’s dream, which only a handful can realized. And simply due to its scarcity, people are digging around for the secrets of success. It is a fact that nobody loves to be a failure, and that is why people grab every opportunity to become successful.

What exactly is your definition of success?
Having a self determined success, maps out your desire and your want to become successful. Some of the common things that people would love to be successful at could be financial, relations, weight Loss, confidence, and the list can go on. Your definition of success may or may not be the same as your family, your neighbors, your friends, etc.

It is important to first identify your definition of success, before you can move on to work towards it. This is a critical step as without a clearly defined term of success, you are going to get nowhere. It is simply like driving on the road late night, if there are no lights available, are you sure you can still drive home safely?
