O istorioara care merita pusa in circulatie

Rob este tipul de om pe care ti-ar placea sa-l urasti: e intotdeauna bine dispus si are intotdeauna ceva pozitiv de spus.

Daca cineva il intreaba cum ii merge, el raspunde: "Daca ar fi mai bine de atat, ar fi nevoie de doi oameni pentru atata bine!" E un optimist. Daca un coleg are o zi rea, Rob reuseste intotdeauna sa-l faca sa vada partea pozitiva a situatiei.

Am devenit curios si intr-o zi l-am intrebat: "Nu inteleg, nu este cu putinta sa fii optimist in toate zilele, tu cum reusesti?" Rob imi raspunse: "In fiecare zi cand ma trezesc, stiu ca am doua
posibilitati: Pot sa aleg sa fiu bine dispus sau pot sa aleg sa fiu rau dispus. Si aleg sa fiu bine dispus.

Cand mi se intampla ceva rau, pot sa aleg intre a fi o victima sau pot sa aleg sa invat din ce mi s-a intamplat. Si eu aleg sa invat.
De fiecare data cand cineva vine la mine sa se lamenteze pentru ceva, pot sa aleg intre a-i accepta plangerile sau pot alege sa-l ajut sa vada latura pozitiva a vietii. Si eu aleg intotdeauna partea buna a vietii. "Dar asta nu este intotdeauna asa de usor" i-am spus . "Ba da, zise Rob, intreaga viata este o problema de optiuni.

Cand indepartezi din viata tot ceea ce nu conteaza cu adevarat, totul devine o chestiune de optiuni. depinde de tine sa alegi cum sa reactionezi la diverse situatii, tu trebuie sa decizi cum sa-i lasi pe altii sa-ti influenteze atitudinea fata de viata. Tu alegi sa fii bine sau rau dispus. Pana la sfarsit tu esti acela care decizi cum sa-ti traiesti viata".

Dupa aceasta discutie am pierdut legatura cu Rob fiindca mi-am schimbat locul de munca, dar adesea ma regaseam gandindu-ma la cuvintele lui atunci optam pentru ceva in viata in loc sa reactionez la evenimente. Apoi am aflat ca Rob a avut un accident groaznic la locul de munca, a cazut de la 18 metri inaltime si dupa o operatie de 8 ore si dupa o indelungata spitalizare a iesit avand o placa de otel in spate. M-am dus sa-l vad si l-am intrebat daca se simte tot atat de bine. "Vrei sa vezi cicatricile mele? " "Dar cum faci sa ramai pozitiv dupa ce ti s-a intamplat? "In timp ce cadeam, primul lucru care mi-a venit in minte a fost fetita mea. Apoi in timp ce zaceam pe pamant, mi-am zis ca pot sa aleg intre a muri si a trai.

Si am ales sa traiesc" "Dar nu ti-a fost frica?" "Atunci cand m-au dus la spital si am vazut expresiile fetelor surorilor si doctorilor, mi-a fost frica fiindca era de parca se uitau la un om
mort. Apoi un infirmier m-a intrebat daca am alergie si am raspuns : DA! Toti m-au privit si atunci am urlat: sunt alergic la gravitatie! Toti au izbucnit in ras, si eu le-am spus: acum operati-ma ca pe un om viu, nu ca pe unul care e deja mort!"

Rob m-a invatat ca in fiecare zi avem posibilitatea de a alege sa traim o viata deplina. Si este inutil sa fim mereu ingrijorati pentru maine fiindca fiecare zi vine cu problemele ei cu care
trebuie sa traim, si maine ne vom gandi la problemele de maine. La urma urmei, azi este ziua de maine pentru care iti faceai probleme ieri.

Acum ai doua optiuni: sa stergi acest document sau sa-l trimiti celor pe care ii iubesti. Iti spun ce am ales eu: voi trai din plin fiecare zi, fiecare rasuflare, si presus de toate, fiecare
prietenie. .......

Here are a few quotes of inspiration and some food for thought about work and life ... CARPE DIEM (seize the day)

"Networking is more than meeting the right people. It's about connecting with their purpose and helping them achieve their goals. It's about connectin them with their success."

  • Craig Elias: Canada's Mr. Networking
  • "So you ask “what can I do to build confidence in myself”? Start by discovering who you are (your Personal Brand), which will allow you to understand what you need to do in order to gain this confidence you seek. Once discovered, it is all about repetition, through telling yourself that you are unique and “you have nothing to lose.” Saying this will help you be more outgoing, which translates into confidence."

  • Dan Schawbel
  • "Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives. Unfortunately most of us are completely unaware of this fact and we do not monitor our thoughts with the care needed so that we can create in our lives the results we say we want. Since the great majority of people do not feel worthy and deserving of abundant good fortune, radiant good health and total success in all areas of their lives that overriding thought pattern controls the results people get. The first order of business of anyone who wants to enjoy success in all areas of his or her life is to take charge of the internal dialogue they have and only think, say and behave in manner consistent with the results they truly desire. - Sidney Madwed

    "You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration." - James Lane Allen

    "In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen." - Thierry Henry

    "80% of the stuff you get you are never going to need again. 20% you do need, and you need to prioritize its importance."

  • Julie Mahan
  • "It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project." - Napoleon Hill

    "The only thing that doesn't change is change itself." - Heraclitus (You can't step into the same river twice, the old Greek said, because the water keeps moving. - If you're clinging to your old reliable tools, you're not just standing still, you're actually moving backwards from the point of view of those who are moving on with the river of technological change.)

    "The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the moods of people, and his tact in dealing with them." - J. G. Holland

    "To put distance between you and your competition, you must become more VALUABLE... not just more PRODUCTIVE."

  • E. R. Haas
  • "When one door closes another door opens; but we do often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell

    "Successful people are not necessary smarter than anyone else, they are simply more effective."

  • Ross Mackay
  • "You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing."

  • Dale Carnegie
