Having a great day today, I hope you are because today is a day to celebrate the freedom we enjoy and to remember the memories from the past and the outings we have had with our families. Today is a day to think about where you are in life and where you would like to be in the near future before this year is over.
In life there is always something new to learn and so one must take the time to educate oneself. How important\t is education very!! Here is what one of our president's has stated regarding education.
What about Steve Jobs what did he have to say?
Steve
Jobs once said, “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone
else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the
results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others
opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the
courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know
what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
I have a few things to say but the one that has actually affected me personally in the past is the following one and to the point where I had to explain my self to other people because they have no idea how to deal with life.
Self-confident—Don’t let yourself confuse self-confidence with egotistical. True self-confidence is simply someone who is secure in his or her own abilities. Such self-confidence exudes from them and motivates others to achieve the same.
Here's
what 35th US President, John F. Kennedy had to say: “Let us think of
education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in
each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be
translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our
nation.”
In the world of Time Management and life especially at work there are things said to us that we accept as truth and we act accordingly.The problem is sometimes they are not truths.They are lies and as we believe them, they waste our time.
Does it seem like no matter what
you do, there's always something or someone who takes up a lot more of
your time than you had planned? I know that sometimes you get people who you want to help and eventually you do not want to talk to them anymore because all they do is waste your time.
There has been so many talk in many books and many seminars and I might as well add gurus on this list because you will have people who tell you that they have the answers to your problems and what do they do? They give you books to read or theories without anything behind what they say to be true sad I know!
one of my mentors always said to me that the keenest minds are the ones that have whetted by practical experience. What does this mean well here it is.
The keenest minds are the ones that have been whetted by practical experience.
Theoretical knowledge without practical experience might be compared to a large mass of undirected energy. Until it is focused, it is difficult to direct the energy to a useful end. Practical experience is the lens through which the energy of knowledge may be focused and directed toward activities that will provide the greatest benefit. When you learn new concepts or have an idea that has not yet been tested, make it a practice to think through its application carefully before implementation.
When you have
considered the possibilities, and it still seems to be a good idea — get
into action. The only way to get practical experience is to get to work
executing your idea but the one thing all my mentors and successful business friends always seems to be one thing and one thing only-To know what and when and HOW to IMPLEMENT AND EXECUTE!!!!!
