Be Different!

"Uniquness is the power to be out of from the crowd."

When everybody, I mean most people out there do not want to take any risk of being different, some outstanding people do. Mention in example of internet marketing. Most internet marketer follow steps by steps their gurus said in order to win in Search Engine Rank. Or how to get as many as unique visitors each day. But look what a little man does to all of these non-creative procedures. He is Mark Zuckerberg who founded facebook. He didn't even have any passion to win the traffic or SEO and any other non-creative-most-internet-marketing-rules. He did build the site just for fun for his harvard friends. But he did that most people didn't, even friendster and myspace.

He gives some things quite unique and different to the users. And now his site facebook wins the traffic. Even for last 2009 Christmas and 2010 New Year It beat Google.

Mark Zuckerberg might never have any plan as an internet marketer or we can say a dropped-out billionaire as he is now. But one thing for sure, he does what his passion is. And always such person as great persons do something what he really in. they never become just-follow businessmen. Me neither.

The same thing happenned to google, yahoo, and also facebook. The rest of "dwarf" internet marketers think their sites might be as successful as those big 3 if they make the domain names with "double o". One word "idiot!". There are millions site with such names can't beat even just top 100 sites.

We can see also from history as Joan of Arc beat England (you can read the rest about her in wikipedia).

Lee Kuan Yew the First Prime Minister of Singapore. You can see how the small island relatively without natural resouces can beat the rich-natural-resources Indonesia in exporting tropical fish. Upside down theory with fact.

A lot of any unbelievable things happen in this world not because followers. But people who can make difference. They create what "moron" call miracles. Actually they are not happened with magic wand. They always happened because these people who make them are standing out of the crowd. They are tough and have will to achieve what they want.

Not to forget Hellen Keller the awesome blind and deaf women who were outstanding as a scholar and activist. How many "healthy" people can achieve what can be achieved by her? Not many

Continuity/ Consistency

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

What was the best thing you ever did in your life?When did the last time you feel great about yourself of doing big great job?
Was it the great achievement in your study or career?
Was it 10 years or 2 months ago?

Everybody has done something really good in their lives. However, does everybody do the same great thing on and on? I think not.

And what is your daily routine everyday? Do you enjoy it?
What is at least one thing that you do over and over without realizing you do?
Whether you enjoy or not. It's one example of continuity.

We do continuity in most aspects of our lives without even realize it.
We breathe, eat, drink, sleep and wake up, walk, etc are our routine jobs.

As the time passes by by doing the same thing over and over, we begin to less minded about what we do. Whether it is a must or not. Whether we enjoy or hate it.

Most smokers do want to quit smoking but they keep smoking. Most women do want to quit overeating but they keep overeating.

If we can be very attached to negative routines, we can be attached too to positive ones.
Here's the point!

As the life itself, everything is actually continues. Continuing in status quo or changing become better or worse. Everything continues!

So, we cannot do the great thing only once. We must do things to achieve anything we expect in continual process. We do best thing at once is not better than do the regular thing continually. The opposite does.

For example you'd like to plant an apple tree. You choose the best seed human can find on this planet, you have the most fertile soil on earth, and the best others. You plant it. You leave it while expecting for the years to come you may come back and have a big harvest. Dream on.

See around. Many of kids come. They pass by. The weather, the pests and so. The kids may play with your apple tree. The pests may kill your new young plant. And when you come back 8 or ten years later you will find nothing.

So what if you just plant it in your garden. Everyday you water it, keep it away from pests, and other things farmer may do. You may find the apple tree grows well until you can pick the red sweet apples from it.

The same thing for us, humans, as another example. Our parents do not feed us only on the first day we're born. But they feed us until we can do it by ourselves. They take care of us, guide, teach, love us forever as they can do. They never do the things for just only once. They continue.

As the examples above, we could do the good things as our routine. So we may expect get much better result rather than doing better things only once. Make all the good things as our habit until we do not need any effort  anymore to do them at anytime.

Don't Watch the News!

"We are what we think"

- Buddha Gautama -

How many often do we watch news everyday?

I think quite often for most of us.

Do you realize that we should not watch most news media offer? And we could actually. But why?

Imagination

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"

- Albert Einstein - 

Imagination is what I mean here is aimed to know more clearly what we actually desire. By imagining we could see things that we want to have happen. This is also called creative visualization.

Life is not Maths. It's Psychological!

"Spending is not only the domain of Accounting. For Life is not Mathematical, it is Psychological!"   - Teddy Amry -

Do people who keep their money (stingy) have more than others who spent their money wisely?
Do they who like to donate and share to others come to be broke and bankrupt?
