Principles of Life

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.
No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
Money is not yours until you spend it.

When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth, when you are old, you use your wealth to regain your health.
How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.
No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

Exercises for elderly

The importance of exercise both for young and older adults has been reiterated again and again. Healthy living includes healthy mind and body.

Stretching exercises
It gives more freedom allowing people to be more active even during their senior years. Stretching exercises alone will not improve endurance or strength.

Lunar New Year 2012

This is the year of the water dragon and there are a lot of predictions about the year. 2012 seems to be a great year judging by the comparisons made with the previous year.

Feng Shui practitioners have been giving insights on the predictions for the year. Every Feng Shui practitioner does not want to miss anything out and is jumping on to the bandwagon. We have to activate the chi when receiving the God of Wealth on New Year Eve. The Feng Shui practitioners also give us dates for opening after the new year. These dates are auspicious and will be a good start for the year. On the other hand, there are dates in the year that we have to avoid at all costs.

In less than a week, we will be celebrating the lunar new year. Let hope the new year will bring abundance, joy and happiness to all of us.

Processed foods

We have the power to change our eating habits by refusing to buy all the processed junk sold at bargain prices. Think about the impact the processed junk food has on our health. Take a closer look at what is being served on the dining table.

Whenever we choose highly processed mass produced food, you also got a bargain on our well being. The money we saved by buying those cheap foods will end up getting spent on improving our health. When we are young and healthy, we chase after wealth. When we are sick, we use wealth to regain our health.

A doctor once said `If you don't put diesel in a gas driven car, why would we put chemicals in our body through unnatural foods'. Think again, people are going for organic foods and health has become a priority.

New Year countdown

It is the time of the year when we bade goodbye to 2011 and usher 2012. New Year means a time of reflection of the past and to make it better in the coming year with resolutions and goals.

It is an important realization because we should prioritize what we would call the `big picture' - be it family, a work goal or simply a personal characteristic. We should remain focus. There is absolutely nothing more special about year end as compared to every other day of the year, except of what we make of it in our minds.

So, here to 2012 a year where we try to illicit change from the inside and see how that changes everything else on the outside.

Countdown

This is the time of the year again when we say goodbye to 2011 and welcome 2012. A time of reflection and to take stock of our blessings and also an opportunity to express our thanks for a good year in 2011. What were our achievements in 2011 and what do we plan to do better in 2012?

We forget the little things that makes a difference such as giving a thought for the less fortunate and saying the word `sorry' and `thank you'. We tend to take things for granted and miss out the important things in life.

Less but least I share with you the saying `We seldom think of what we have, but always think of what we miss.'

People Management

Management is the buzzword in the Corporate World. Management is not about an individual delivering results. Rather it is about an individual managing a group of other individuals to achieve the desired results.

Managing an individual involves chemistry between the twos. Also at the same time, to take good care of the individual. Treat them like your best friend and look after their welfare and interest. Be a part of their family and guess what the rest will be history.
