Letting go does not mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.

Why do you cling in pain? When there is nothing that you could possibly do about  the wrongs of yesterday. It is not up to you to judge. Why hold on to the very things which are keeping you away from being truly happy and successful in life?

Very often, people get trapped by their thoughts. Our thoughts arise from our beliefs – it colors our decisions. If we believe life to be bad, we expect bad things to happen. But, aren’t we fully in control of our thoughts? Thus, to change your world, you will have to change yourself. The world will follow you – but you will have to let go of your thoughts and beliefs in order to get there. !!!

Certainly, change is never easy. We often fight to hold on, and we fight to letting go. Your key to change is to let go ……… Your immediate action is to be at any moment willing to sacrifice what you are for what you could become.

Life is about making the right decisions and moving on. You are responsible for your life. You cannot keep blaming someone else for any dysfunction. You don’t need strength to let go of something, what you really need is understanding – the need to move on.

To “let go” is not to lose power, but to de-open the power within.
To “let go’” is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
“To “let go” is not to deny, but to accept.
To “let go” is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To “let go” is not to criticize or regulate anyone, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To “let go” is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To “let go” is to fear less and love more.

Some people think it is holding on that makes one strong – sometimes it is the ability to let go . Thoughts do not change. We change. I reckon, when you need to grab something, grab it; when you need to let go, let go…….. live free ……… and have it all. !!!

The earth laughs in flowers.

What’s in a name? That we call rose.
By any other name would smell as sweet.

The world is a rose;
smell it and pass it to your friends.

In friend’s fragrant garden,
There are flowers of every hue.
Each with its own flair of beauty
And its gift of joy for you.

A single rose can be my garden,
a single friend can be my world.

True friendship is like a rose.
We don’t realize its beauty until it fades.

From a thorn comes a rose,
and from a rose comes a thorn.

Which is loveliest in a rose?
Its coy beauty when it’s budding,
or its splendor when it blooms?

In the hope of reaching the moon
men fail to see the flowers
that blooms at their feet.

Take time to smell the roses.

If you have a sense of adventure and want a company with lower costs, greater profits, less taxes (run with state funding!) And enjoy sun, sea, sand, surf and rain forest – then you should consider a small business in Costa Rica.

There are several ways to exploit this opportunity with a service industry in the growing U.S. population, or one in which only the advantage of lower costs and taxes.

Let us open the possibilities Them.

More for your money

With this small business opportunity you can cut costs immediately through the exchange of current homes for real estate in Costa Rica, which costs up to 70% less than the real state in the southern U.S. states.

Then you can the cost of utility bills and daily subsistence costs of 70 to 80%. (A three-bedroom house is for just U.S. $ 60,000) are acquired and view them live comfortably on about $ 2000 per month can.

What kind of> Company?

With a growing foreign population, obvious opportunities for enterprise, leisure and entertainment are open and the people you are in the Service is spending cash.

Educated workforce

Of course you can, with excellent transport links and skilled, Costa Rica (Costa invested 6.5 percent of GDP on an education system that includes over 50 universities. English is taught in schools as a second language.) Any kind of business atdramatically reduced costs. Real estate is cheap and so are tp office rents.

The opportunities in running a small business in Costa Rica there are no limits, and you can in the country much or export your offshore services.

Big companies like Microsoft, Intel and Procter & Gamble who are resettled in Costa Rica and other small businesses, is moving into her and her staff achievement.

Tax Incentives

As an incentive for investment, the Government of Costa Ricaprovides foreign companies with several tax incentives.

For service companies (ie software development, computer services, customer care call center and back office / shared service center), the incentives are a 100 percent exemption from income tax for the first 8 years of doing business in the country and to assess further four years to a 50 per cent.

Legal restrictions

The country is friendly with regard to labor regulations and there are no restrictions on foreignCompanies own property (and keep this property has risen on average by 300% in the last 10 years), so you can raise money on real estate to their asset values.

A growing economy

Whenever you see a growing economy with the influx of new residents with a different culture there are significant opportunities for profit.

Get in early to get established, and you will find that you can get an edge over any competition.

Costa Rica is only three hours from the U.S.and while many have come to more for their money, enjoy the beautiful scenery – they still want the comforts of home.

Because the numbers are expected to increase (1,000,000 Americans live in Costa Rica from 1010), and you have the option of this service.

Of the restaurants, the water-to-computer service companies – the same opportunities exist that back home are available in Costa Rica, but you can get a head start:

Affordable real estate, office space, low cost, lowerTaxation and enjoy the opportunity not least in less competitive markets, and last but – you can be a lifestyle of sun, sand, sea, volcanoes, rain forests, great entertainment and nightlife, and much more.

For the more adventurous small business owner, Costa Rica offers a fantastic opportunity, and a different lifestyle, but one that many find rewarding, both for personal and profit perspective.

Setting up the new company is simply

Foreign companies areencouraged by the Government, over and over residence of a company from the ground is very simple.

If you have a sense of adventure, then you should consider offering the advantages of a small business in Costa Rica has.

This week was a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, so I worked out with Alan 3 times this week instead of the usual four. Enjoyed two fabulous turkey dinners, one for lunch and one for dinner with different sets of friends; and both were really fun and muy delicioso. I abstained from any pie but nibbled on the olives. I’ve still only lost 14.5 pounds, so I ordered some goodies off Amazon to give me some extra help… more on that later.

It seems everyone assumes that I must be eating like a horse since I’m being completely faithful to my workouts yet not losing weight, but in fact, I’m eating healthier than ever and in very reasonable portions. For instance, a yogurt for breakfast; a salad with hard-boiled egg for protein for lunch and no dressing; a bowl of homemade chili for dinner; yogurt for a before-bed snack; and water, water, water, water. That can’t be more than 1200 calories, surely. All I know is to stick with it, and my contrary metabolism has got to cave sooner or later. I did splurge and have one beer on Wednesday evening at the school festivities, but all I got for that was a horrible headache. Me + beer = Le Miserable!

Alan is planning to mix up my workouts since he says my core is very strong now; so we will be doing an assortment of upper and lower body weight training in addition to cardio intervals and core exercises. I just keep doing whatever he recommends, because I always feel better after my workouts than I did when I walked in; and I’m so energized and strong, I don’t want to lose all the progress I’ve gained. I just want to keep making significant gains in my confidence, endurance, energy, and strength. The amazing thing is that when I first started I was so far behind everyone else, but now I’m one of the strong ones. I’m one of the people who’s always hanging out in the weight room after school, dressed and ready to work. I’m realizing that one reward I’m receiving that was totally unexpected is the confidence that other people are expressing in my determination, and the respect in their voices when they comment on how I’m so consistent and faithful to my regimen.

Another thing that never seemed real to me before is that once I started to change my story, I could also help other people to change theirs too. I mean, if I can become disciplined in this, ANYONE can. And it’s not by strength of will except for the first two or three weeks; after that, my motivation has been totally based on the benefits I’m reaping in how I feel every day, and how I sleep, and how much more content I am with my life. It also helped me a lot to have people I didn’t want to let down. Alan is a terrific friend, and I didn’t want to let him down. My friends Gretchen, Kim, Beth, and Rhonda were cheering me on. That has been so helpful! So even though I’m kind of bummed about not magically dropping 25 or 30 pounds over the last 13 weeks, I know I’m on the right track, and since this is a life change, I’m not stopping for anything.

Things I never imagined before have now become a possibility to me. Firstly, trekking all over Egypt and climbing pyramids was my short-term goal. And that is only two weeks away!!! But I’m also looking forward to coaching soccer next year. I was already planning to do it this year, and all excited about it, but then there was a scheduling conflict with the classes I’m teaching to my colleagues every Tuesday and Thursday after school, so now that is postponed till next year. I’m thinking of my future vacations as opportunities to hike and bike and climb and swim and challenge myself in all sorts of ways. Isn’t that crazy?

More importantly, as I take more risks in the physical realm, I believe it will empower me to meaningfully demonstrate more faith in other areas of my life… being courageous and positive in my actions where before I was fearful and negative.

This week, I watched the movie Pay It Forward, and the words of the main character, a middle school student who believed in the power of change, really stuck in my mind.   It was less about helping yourself than being available to help others.  He said that it’s not enough to plan something out that you want to do for someone; you need to keep your eyes open and see where the need really is; and the thing that you give has to be a huge sacrifice, something you really don’t want to give.

No Guts, No Glory

I no longer desire a life of comfort and ease, of TV and movies and pseudo-happy endings; of selfishness, vanity, safety and security. I want my life to BE more, to MEAN more, to MATTER more. I don’t know exactly what that entails, but I’m open to change. And at my age, I don’t have a lot of time to waste!!!

I’VE just had a thought, and though I’m sure it’s been done many times before, I wanted to throw open something that should be fun (as I’m currently working on something similar and I’m having a great time).

SO if you feel like jumping in to this Comment Box Poem, just post in response below! All you really have to do is read what the poet before you has written and see where it takes you!

music

I’ve been to this and it’s a great Friday wind down. The Reggae Lounge Night @ Nakhla Shisha (Xining S Rd. Lane 50 #3 2-3FL). Every Friday night from 8:30pm.

Get It! @ Light Lounge, Taichung (台中市華美西街一段85號). Saturday 28 November, from 10pm. Why are the flyers for gigs in Taiwan always so badly designed? This one is particularly awful. No matter, this event looks good anyway with some rare dubstep on offer. See Facebook for more.

I soooo want to go to this! Rock n Roll Circus: with Miss Cabaretta, Ed Woods, Minnesota Voodoo Men and The Deadly Vibes. @ 89K (Taichung), Friday 18 December, 10pm onwards. And again in Taipei at VU Livehouse, Saturday 19 December, from 10pm.

art

The Kaohsiung International Container Arts Festival has begun. Head down to the Pier-2 Art District in the south harbour area of the city and the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. I don’t really need an excuse to visit Kaohsiung but this will do.

Observations Of Home and other woodcuts by Jon Renzella. Now through to Sunday 31 December. @ Retro Café, 五權西路一段 116 / No. 116, Sec. 1, Wuchuan West Road, Taichung. Beautiful work that I can’t wait to see. See Facebook for more.

This retrospective on China-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang at the TFAM looks amazing! I think I might have to make a trip to Taipei soon. On from now until 21 February, 2010.

Check-mate?! The 8th Graduation Drama performance of English Department, Dayeh University. I’m biased because two of my friends are performing but this will be awesome! At the Yuanlin Performance Hall 彰化員林演藝廳 (Yuanlin Township, Taichung County). Saturday 12 December, from 6pm.

other

World underwater archeological history will be on display at the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology in Bali, Taipei County, until 13 December.

Taichung Bike Week will be held 5-13 December. I think it’s more an industry thing than open to the public but there’s more info here.

opportunities

Fancy yourself a reviewer or features writer? Or even just a great party scout? Jar of Buttons is looking for people in Taiwan’s main and not so main centres to write articles and collect event information. Art, music, design, photography, and general culture.

A smile is a curve that sets everything right.

Smile the moment you wake up in the morning ………………………

Develop the habit of setting a tone of happiness for the day by smiling as soon as you wake up each morning.

Smiling gets your face in the mood to be happy.

As you smile thank God for watching you all night. Then, smile at the thought that God will be present throughout the day and help you with every crisis, challenge  or obstacle.

Smile to remember of at least one good thing that happened the day before. Smile at the thought of all the opportunities and blessings that await you during the day. Smile at the very fact that you are alive and smiling. And as you smile, ask for God’s grace to give you away your five smiles to others before retiring for the night.

Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. Have you ever seen a smiling face that was not beautiful? A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks – no one is never fully dressed without a smile. So wear a smile, one size fits all.!!!

“The more you are thankful for what you have, the more you have to be thankful for.”

Ideas are the seeds from which all greatness grows. Every book and every company started from the spark of an idea. Ideas come on their own time and in their own way. Those who understand this principle find a sure path to success.

The key to benefiting from ideas is to capture them. You need to write them down in a place where you can review them and use them when the time is right. In his audio book “Capturing Million Dollar Ideas,” Richard Paul Evans recommends keeping and “idea journal” with you at all times so you can capture ideas as they come. This is important because you can never control or predict when ideas will come. He further discusses five things to know about your ideas:

1. Your life if the sum of your ideas.
2. Ideas are like butterflies, they come at any time and they appear unannounced, flittering through your mind as if to find capture. Creating a place to capture the ideas seems to attract them, and in greater number. “A discovery is an accident meeting a prepared mind.”
3. Ideas, no matter how brilliant, have a very short shelf life.
4. You may not understand how big an idea is until later; some ideas need to age like cheese and wine to come to value. In come cases, you need to grow before you realize just how big a concept is.
5. Ideas beget other ideas.

Remember, ideas come on their own time. When ideas come to you, write them down.

—
The Product Management Perspective: Ideas are the fuel for great products. The difficulty for many product managers is capturing ideas and filtering the potentially great ones from the not so good. That topic deserves its own post (or perhaps its own book). The key point here is that you, as the PM, capture the ideas that come to you regardless of the source. The more ideas you capture the more likely you are to get the perfect new product or feature. Many times ideas will seem silly or absolutely unobtainable; write them down anyway. Over time circumstances change, technology improves and opportunities appear that you do not expect. The more ideas you have captured the better prepared you will be to develop your ideas into the next great product.
