Monday Message and Lunch. Thanks to Ngee and Tim

I love Monday.

For some reason Monday is usually great to me even tho busy... Monday will be my lucky day of the week.

I didn't have breakfast yet but I was not hungry after my Starbucks coffee in the morning. Tim made me a small healthy but yummy lunch... Mix strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie and apple slices. How sweet!

Speaking of Smoothies... Whenever I made or have it... I always think about JFK. It put a smile on my face when I recalled how JFK was in the morning making:" World smoothies " for my breakfast... It's really awesome but rich and so creamy. I miss you JFK.


Ngee, One of my best buddy from Singapore and a carries coach sent me this message this morning:
" Some who have succeeded in making good progress may start to believe that they already know everything and are better than everyone else. Once that has happened, it becomes more challenging to maintain the right attitude and an open mind to learn from others and accept deeper teachings. Pride and conceit are two of the biggest obstacles to sustained life development. It is therefore a blessing to always remain humble. "

Thanks for reminding me. I'm glad that I have tried really hard not to being insensitive and arrogant since my first business when I was college. I guess we all are most of the time but then again, it's never too late to reflect.

Cheers.

I don't usually take an easy path

Between Good and Bad, Difficult and Easy, False and True...I always want the path that seems harder than most. I want to work for it and I believe in and be. Good things would not come easy...

Breathe and Believe in life...

I often walk up and down the corner of Piikoi and Kinau street in Makiki... I always see lot of birds were gather around...They were hanging out for a fresh perspective on what's happening now or chirping, singing, fighting, flying up and down those branches or those wires. I think they love to be there, possibly settle down and build their nets over there...forever???

The corner is always likes mix of the hustles bustle city life and naturally peaceful in Honolulu. Traffic is always busy down to Makiki and up to the ramp to the highway... It contains of stream of city's noise, busy life, often strong wind and bare naked under the sun and the rains...all year round.

All year long, I often wondered why those bird love to be there so much? I also wondered while they were sitting on the tree are never afraid of branch breaking because their trust are not on the tree but on their own wings. They seem to believe on themselves and have no fear at all...



So I breathe... For the heck of it, I'm going to claim up the branch today! Lol...

Listening...

The speaker
I heard;
I say
The listeners.
Space
four seasons...
flowers are blooming!
Space
four seasons...
are breathing
Peace.

Dear Frank, would you like to be my personal coach?

It's about half of my life journey. Assuming that I will live up to 60 years old ( By the way, I hate the idea that I would die too old, too ugly because I still want to look pretty in the Heaven. Lol ) 

Looking back what I have been through on my life experiences are quite amazing... It was like climbing a mountain. It's not always going up. Sometimes I need to turn left, go down, turn right, jump over, back track and so on... Last 7 months has been surely a length of major changes in my life. Met many hurdles, overcome some, still undergoing trials on some of them...You might have no ideas what I have been through... Still yet, I do need the encouragement and support from many that way them give me the extra strength to carry out what I love to do for the rest...
half of my life journey...

But overall, I'm thankful and grateful that I'm having a very fortunate and unique life. And today, I'm bless that I have a chance to know you. You were warm welcome me into your world. You let me have an opportunity to share my stories and experiences with a working professionals like you. 

All my work... all my skills... all my talents and personality... all my years of effort...for awhile I thought I was confused and lost... Unexpectedly, You just were there listening to me, stay in touch, communicate and support whenever that meant a lot to me. You help me to find my strength, encourage and inspire my creativity to develop my potential to the next and the next further levels.

I know I had a plan but again It's not good enough to have a plan only, it's all about turning that plan into reality. You will be proud of me...

Frank, It's been much more meaningful year for me having you in my life. Let's begin a small step to another to go further... Thanks for being a great coach ever!

My mystery love for Tagore...

I had decided to work from home today. So I could be able to do house chores at the same stay on the telephone line, emailing, reading, catching up with business news I had them waiting for me on the desk...

Somehow, my mind today couldn't concentrate...It keep thinking about the journey of life and therefore, Rabindranath Tagore was in my mind. I memorialized when I was 15 years, the monks had educated me about world poetry and Tagore ever since I love him. It's hard to explain the reason why. I always adore him plus he was so handsomer. I just wanted to take a break and read his poem, my favor part all time:

Lover's Gifts VIII: There Is Room for You

Hãy vào ghé tạm nơi đây, 

Em lẻ loi mang vài bó lúa. 

Thuyền tôi chật nặng lắm rồi, 

Nhưng sao nỡ để em đi không với gọi.

Người non trẻ thân em thướt tha gầy guộc,

Mắt tươi duyên hé nở nụ cười, 

Và chiếc áo em mang xậm màu mây trời nặng nước. 

Khách sẽ về từng bến, 

Khách sẽ về từng nhà...

Ngồi tạm mũi thuyền tôi giây lát, 

Rồi cứ việc lên bờ

Lúc hết chuyến dừng chèo, 

Không ai níu giữ em đâu. 

Em về đâu, nơi nao, 

Cất những bông lúa óng vàng? 

Cũng chẳng cần gạn hỏi

Nhưng khi cuốn buồm neo thuyền ngưng nghỉ, 

Tôi sẽ ngồi một mình tự hỏi lúc chiều buông

Em về đâu, nơi nao, 

Cất những bông lúa óng vàng?

There is room for you. You are alone with your few sheaves of rice.
My boat is crowded, it is heavily laden, but how can I turn you away?
Your young body is slim and swaying; there is a twinkling smile in the edge of your eyes, and your robe is colored like the rain cloud.
The travelers will land for different roads and homes. You will sit for a while on the prow of my boat, and at the journey's end none will keep you back.
Where do you go, and to what home, to garner your sheaves?
I will not question you, but when I fold my sails and moor my boat
I shall sit and wonder in the evening,
Where do you go, and to what home, to garner your sheaves?

I believe that things always work out alright at the end...

I found this on the way home today...
Good (meets expectation) 
Great (above expectation) 
Awesome (areas of improvement )
So hey my Monday was great especially my last 2 hours...

A quick meeting with the attorney. Done!
Sierra's appraisal report review? Okay got it!
Dalani, LLC is good to go. Got the number already!
Banking for the owner? Alright!
Korean Market? Yay!
What is next Baby?!!

As much I am patient in life, and also confident with it.
I believe that things always work out alright at the end, and that we have so much better to do than to worry...
Someone told me yesterday about " Law of attraction " that coincident I discovered myself having it since I was in my 20th. I really did not know such things like that!

This season all over Honolulu sky was so beautiful and bright with shower trees are blooming...all the way from downtown back home. Love it!
