When we pl...Hi alliedm,<BR/>Nice to hear from you again. When we play soccer, its easier to achieve our goal because we can see it. Its visible, in front of our eyes. But its different when we have personal goals which we aspire to achieve. Obstacles we don't expect and can't see. Distractions which affect our focus. My mentor once told me,let your goals be bigger than your obstacles and challenges. By doing this You will always see your goals inspite of the obstacles in front of us.

You m...Hi Witch,<BR/>Interesting observation on my post. You manage to see the reverse side of my story.<BR/>The 'Masami Principle' are the principles derived from what Masami should have done. Not what she did. The next time I see a person doing the same thing as what Masami did, I will say to that person, 'If you want to move ahead in life, don't do a Masami'.<BR/>I must credit this principle to Masami simply because from her I learned valuable principles that can separate a person from being ordinary or mediocre to greatness.<BR/>Thanks WB for your valuable insight and contribution.tony -stand-up philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113883769941368315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427866861768009189.post-55025569585981693132007-06-15T12:43:00.000+08:002007-06-15T12:43:00.000+08:00Zorro Sir,Suzanne is the epitome of what 'normal u...Zorro Sir,<BR/>Suzanne is the epitome of what 'normal us' should be. She knows what she wants. And she gets what she wants. Doing what she's passionate about and what she does is predominantly a male vocation. Check her website and see her wonderful work..www.suzanne-lee.com<BR/>Strange indeed, that we saw two persons, within the same social context, same gender, about the same age yet a vast difference in the style of their social interaction.tony -stand-up philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113883769941368315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427866861768009189.post-16190074863146589462007-06-15T09:15:00.000+08:002007-06-15T09:15:00.000+08:00ok, now mr anthony,i just need to point out someth...ok, now mr anthony,i just need to point out something here.<BR/>you cannot apply the "Masami Principle" because if you do, you will continue to be uncock sure, uncertain, and will continue to be settling for less.<BR/>You have to avoid the "Masami Principle", if you could even flatter her with the word "principle".<BR/>I am not a journalist, but I know many. in fact it was a journalist who encouraged me to blog. she was a very prominent journalist.<BR/>masami strikes me as a very timorous person who lacks confidence.<BR/>Masami luckily has an excuse. she's only 8 months old. i would imagine that she did not get the job on account of her personaility.<BR/><BR/>however, i agree with you, mr anthony gayandato that we must be very focused and definite about what we want, and live with that decision, no matter where it will or has taken us.the witch's broohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166223662949213997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427866861768009189.post-64298207454976683812007-06-14T16:22:00.000+08:002007-06-14T16:22:00.000+08:00Tony, I like the way you subtly weave your messag...Tony, I like the way you subtly weave your message thru.
