Bill Fong was amongst the large numbers of Chinese migrants that left China during the late 1800s when China’s last dynasty was in decline. Many left looking for a better life overseas. In China, Bill was a rebel. He loved Cantonese opera, but the family didn’t. Despite their disapproval, he would sneak out to see many performances.
If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.
A lightbulb moment went off for me when a successful entrepreneur described corporate culture vs start-up culture. With no disrespect to those in corporate, but he said "Corporates are great at sucking up 80% of your time to produce little." "It's so much about pleasing your boss and you get penalised or lose that bonus when you fail."
Recently I became aware I was perhaps giving more priority to answering other people's requests than I was prioritising my own time. Why was I more willing to give other people time than I was giving myself time? Once aware of that, I could start making the changes.
Last week, I heard a friend told me he felt very blessed. Very blessed, that in tough economic times, he got hired into a role and somehow was taken care of by the Universe.
Our body has amazing regenerative and reparative powers - the skin mends itself, the organs remove toxins, creates fresh cells ...
It’s ok not knowing what you want to be when you grow up.
Eaves dropping on a friend - He was finishing up an acupuncture treatment and the patient was about to go. But then the patient carried on the conversation, as if wanting to chat a little more. "I'm thinking of renting this space. Do you have time? Can I show you pics of this place I'm thinking of renting?"
Borrowing from Lucy here who definitely is a happy pill for many.
