happy#061 – keep your promise

  • by

I believe that you will not be truly happy people if you are not a trusted and reliable person, to yourself and others. If you keep letting other people down on your promises. If you don’t keep the promises you make to yourself you won’t honor yourself, you won’t like yourself. The bet think about being honorable is that is 100% up to you wether you are or you are not.

happy#058 – a culture of learning

  • by

What do you think? How hard is it to personally grow without learning.I see how different, kids, teenager and later even grown ups behave when they never learnt how to learn. So do yourself and you kids the favor and create a culture of learning. Stay young, stay curious, stay foolish!
