I never fail, either I succeed or I learn. HA!

"Failures are steps in the ladder of success."
James Allen

You failed? you got rejected? GOOD! Almost all of us give up after failing at something. It's normal, it's human nature. Nobody likes to fail! But you can turn it around, it's HARD but do you want to live the rest of your life wondering what you would've, could've, should've?! I think not! 

The most important thing is to accept the fact that you failed. I think it's the word "failure" that scares us most. Nobody wants to brag about how many times we failed. 
 
We have a lot of EGO and we have got to let go of it in order to succeed. It's a MUST! 
You can't have both! It's the ego that is holding you back. It's the ego that is hiding the truth from you. It took me years to learn how to accept failure, it was a lot for me to take, a lot to digest! It's still hard, but I have changed my attitude towards it.

Then I learned to digest the information right away, it's really really HARD but once you do it, you feel lighter, you analyze what went wrong, what you should've done and what to do better next time. You clear your mind!!!



The truth is, everyone fails, even the most important people in the world failed a couple of times to get what they are now. You need to believe in yourself and in your goal. If you don't then you really don't want it that bad? right?!

How much time do you waste everyday?

Did you plan something last year but haven't got anywhere with it yet?
Do you ever feel like time flies and is out of YOUR control? Does time really fly?!

The question is: What DO YOU do all day?!

Then what you need is an EYE OPENER! I came across this infographic a while ago and it really changed my life. Not kidding!

The infographic is about
How The World's Most Brilliant People Scheduled Their Days


You can find out how you schedule your day using Excel Pie Chart. If you don't know how then you can visit http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/present-your-data-in-a-pie-chart-HA010211848.aspx to learn how to do it! :)

The interesting part is, most of them socialized and exercised! Maybe we underestimate socializing or not doing it right! Networking is always a great way to meet people in your field. It takes effort but definitely worth it. Exercising is a must! I will share more on this. 

When I first calculated mine, I was surprised how much time I waste all day without realizing it! and worse than that, I used to spend 5% of my day working on my passion! which was half an hour. I thought being productive for half an hour was better than doing it for hours of not doing it right! BUT c'mon!!! half an hour?! I found on that I spent hours on the internet and other stuff. It was an eye opener for me and I hope it's the same for you!

Don't let tomorrow be an option!!!

How many times have you put something off until tomorrow? Almost everyday! 


Procrastination!

According to Wikipedia,
"Procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute" before the deadline."




The thing is: It is important, it's usually what benefits us most when we accomplish it! But we simply don't and choose to put it off. 

The problem is we don't even realize that we are procrastinating. We waste more energy on thinking about it rather than getting it done. 




 


Here's some awesome articles about how to stop procrastination. Do it NOW!!!

Unleash The Inner You

Hi everyone!

Welcome to "The Inner Vous"!!!
As you already know, vous means "you" in French and I think we cover up this part of us pretty well. How many times have you felt that being you is wrong? Like expressing some sort of feelings, acting in different way to cover what's happening inside. What is really within us? underneath us?

We act in a certain way, for some reasons, and we limit ourselves from being who we really are. Don't you think? We already know this, there's nothing new to tell. Think about if we unleashed the inner us, what would happen? Not caring what others say, not caring if we fail, not caring what happens next...

I started this blog to share useful resources and learn from great minds like YOU! We don't need to be famous to inspire others. We can simply inspire each other. Sometimes you connect more with strangers than those
who see us every single day. Message me if you feel the same ;)
