    The 8 Secrets to a Rich and Fulfilling Life

    Life is not a dress rehearsal. You have this one opportunity to live an extraordinary life that you love. You have this one body, this one mind, and this one soul. Each moment of life is extremely precious because this exact life will never be repeated and it could be our last. We never really know how long we will be a part of this planet.

    When you live your life fully without holding back or holding on, you automatically manifest more prosperity because you are open and ready to receive new opportunities. You can easily move forward and take inspired actions everyday instead of procrastinating because you're so excited you just can't help it! When you jump on to the playing field of your life you become very attractive (like a magnet) because you're not just watching life from the sidelines. You are consciously participating in life! Everyone is attracted to this type of energy because deep down they too want to be engaged, inspired, and actively participating in their life. Making this choice to participate energizes you, sending out a strong manifesting vibration to the Universe.

    Here are 8 secrets that will reconnect with the fullness and richness of life you deserve!

    1. Do something this week that you have always wanted to do, yet have
    previously feared or resisted doing. For instance, you could take a pottery class,
    learn to belly dance, go skiing, fly a kite, write a poem, meet someone new, start learning a foreign language, etc..

    2. Create time everyday to connect with people, nature, and yourself. As a society we are either working or entertaining ourselves. We rarely take time out from our busy lives to connect deeply with ourselves, and have a NEW experience of this world we live in. When was the last time you walked outside in nature, and connected with the trees, the sky, the flowers, etc.? When was the last time you spent quality time just hanging out sharing inspiring stories, having fun and laughing with your spouse or children? Quality time means we are truly ALIVE and happens only when we are engaging in a meaningful d real dialogue without the distractions of the TV, newspaper, or the cell phone.

    3. Call a friend or family member and tell them how much you love them, and how they have enriched your life.

    4. Forgive somebody who has wronged you in the past. Grudges only drain and harm you, while forgiveness brings you peace and joy.

    5. Clear out some space in your busy calendar so that you can enjoy life today,
    instead of waiting for a better tomorrow to arrive.

    6. Just say "no" to activities and tasks that no longer inspire you! Delegate or eliminate energy drains from your life so that you can take time to relax and smell the roses.

    7. Take time out to admire the sunset each day. This helps you reconnect with the awe and beauty of the world we live in.

    8. Begin manifesting your dreams, instead of dreaming about your dreams. Write down
    your dreams and work with a coach, mentor, or trusted friend to make those dreams come true. It often takes supportive partnership to help you overcome the obstacles blocking you from manifesting your dreams and desires.

    And always remember this famous


    "For yesterday is but a dream,
    And tomorrow is only a vision,
    But today -- well-lived,
    Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
    And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
    Look well, therefore, to this day!
    Such is the salutation of the dawn!"
    ~By Kalidasa, Indian poet 1200 B.C.
    Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!

    Conform to fashion norm when in corporate world

    By S.S. YOGA

    IN the corporate world, you should not stand out when it comes to dressing. You should follow the norm.

    Now, that's a surprise as in the dog-eat-dog world of business, one would think you should do anything to give yourself the extra edge.

    Well, that was the advice that style guru Tan Su Cheng (who is an interior designer by profession) was dishing out to selected guests at the Raoul/Men's Folio workshop on grooming for men recently at a swanky hotel in Kuala Lumpur, recently.

    He first told the audience that to dress for success, one must have a personal style and image, in essence be unique but be true to oneself.

    Tan said a best-dressed man looks outstanding but people don't really know why.

    He said in the conservative corporate world like banking and finance, one must be subtle in the dressing and not stand out too much.

    "The suit should be grey or blue or even with subtle pinstripes of dark-shades, of charcoal. The tie should be conservative. It's all in the attitude for the mindset is to be a winner," said Tan.

    For short people (or the politically correct vertically-challenged) the advice is to wear more colour and stronger tones.

    Be careful when choosing your tie. While for those taller in stature should go for neutrals and grey unless one is the host or a speaker and should stand out a bit.

    As for suits, Tan advises those with shorter stature to have the suit just barely covering the buttocks and the lapels pointing open, to frame the face better, have tighter shoulders and use a three or four button jacket.
    There should be a gap of 1.25cm between the suit cuffs and the shirt cuff (which should be exposed).
    As for the material - wool, wool, wool - nothing else will do.

    Those of medium height are advised to go for four- or six-button, double-breasted jacket.
    For those taller - say more than 1.83m (that's 6 feet for you older folks out there) - the suit should be much longer and heavier.
    Again, it should be double-breasted with four buttons instead of six.

    Tan likens the suit to good armour for it makes one look stronger or those who are of heavier built, slimmer.
    Oh, another tip from Tan - never button the last button on your jacket/suit. Why? He said the style goes back to King Edward VII who was so fatthat he couldn't button up the last one so it became a fashion that just stuck on until today.

    And do you know why there is a slit on the back of a suit?
    It was to enable one to ride a horse in comfort when it was a mode of transportation in the olden days.

    As for shirts, never buy one that makes you look larger and there's no detail more important than the collar.

    If you have a small face, don't wear a shirt with a big collar because it will make your face look even smaller.

    The seam at the shoulder should not drop more than 1.5cm below the shoulder otherwise it will look too big for you.

    The shirt cuff should never cover the hands. Those with small frame, said Tan, should wear stiff shirts, brighter colours and use shell buttons.

    "If you are using a stripped shirt, the strip should follow all way down even with a pocket - it should not be disjointed where it meets the pocket in other words."

    Be careful with the choice of ties - it should suit the colour of your skin. And ties should always be silk for when you store it away it still retains its shape while with other materials, you will see fold marks and so on.

    With a button-down collar or wing-tip collar, the tie should have a single knot.

    Tan's advice is to stick to the classics and the knot must be tied tight enough to allow only two fingers inside the collar. More than that, it is too loose.

    For those who are in the creative line like architects, designers and advertising people, there is more leeway on how you dress. It should, said Tan, reveal your personality and character.

    On the other hand, those in the information technology business have to project trustworthiness. Comfort is also a factor.

    Checked shirts, said Tan, seemed to be equated with intellectuals.

    And when all else fails, just like the women, one can always fall back to the basic black.

    Your shoes should match your belt and the shoes should have leather sole inlay.

    So that's a start - are you up to the dress code? Or would you rather be you and go with your own style and rules. The choice is yours.
    Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!

    Learn to laugh at yourself. Nothing immunises you both from everyday frustrations more than a healthy sense of humour. Why be uptight and make the ride ahead bumpy?

    Let it go already. Relationships are challenging enough without the added burden of keeping past issues alive. Forgive, forget, move on.

    Throw away your scoreboard. If you want to guarantee ongoing frustration, keep a score of what you do and your partner doesn’t do. Try the opposite if you want different results.

    Be a low-maintenance partner. Guard against being demanding and emotionally needy all the time. Aim at a sanctuary, not a war zone.

    Tips for Happiness

    1. Make mistakes. If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not really doing your best.

    2. Do your best.

    3. Tell your parents and children at least once a year what you really think.

    4. One evening a week unplug everything and turn off the phone. Light candles, drink wine and eat nuts.

    5. Buy two hammocks: one for the garden and one for inside your house.

    6. Every so often when you’re out walking, put some change in a parking metre that’s nearly empty.

    7. Think about how you want to live on in the memories of family and friends. Try to find ways to live up to that image.

    8. Let the phone ring a couple of times before answering.

    9. Dance in the elevator when you’re alone.

    10. Don’t be fanatic about anything.
    Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!
