Don’t apologize for your failure nor for your success.
If you failed at something, at least you tried it. Taking initiative is one of the best treats a person has.
If needed you can always start over from zero, you should never stop improving yourself.
If you are successful that is something you work hard for, so be proud of it.
Just do the best you can do and enjoy while doing it. You only have one life and one shot for most in life, but don’t forget to shoot.
Curiosity killed the cat, but a cat has nine lives.
If you are not curious about discovering new things you will stay in your rut. And that will not bring you in new territory. So be curious, and take care you are not killed like a cat…
What you did in the past will speak for you today. You should create precedents, precedent you can be proud of.
The last couple of yours I created a lot of precedents in my work.I helped in project to build complex and sophisticated solutions from scratch for my clients. These precedents will help me to get further in my professional life.
In my personal life I also try to create precedents, by making and keeping promises. The making and keeping of promises will create the precedents of my future promises and the trust it created.
So created precedents.
Happiness is in the small things.
A nice piece of music played on the street by a very good street musician.
A good book that inspires you.
A ray of sun light.
The smile of your spouse and children.
A realisation that you are lucky to be a life and healthy.
Embrace these small things, because they are happiness.

Everyone is an expert in some area. With your experience you can mentor someone. While mentoring you will have to express your experiences and knowledge in understandable language. While rephrasing your words you will get new insights and so you will also learn something new.
Being a mentor is beneficial for both the mentor and the mentored.
If you want to reach and touch someone you love, write a letter. The effort you will put in will get you a better letter. Hand written letter are so much more personal than e-mail.
So take the time restore the old habit and write letters.
“The challenge of leadership is
to be strong, but not rude
to be kind, but not weak
to be bold, but not bully
to be thoughtful, but not lazy
to be humble, but not timid
to be proud, but not arrogant
to have humor, but without folly.”
Jim Rohn
What do most people when it gets hard? They complain about and then they quit.
When it gets hard you should what most people don’t do: Put in more effort and preserver, don’t quit because it gets hard.
You might be only a small step away from success. Maybe you only need one more number to unlock the lock.
I cannot act on Yesterday because it is gone.
I cannot act on Tomorrow because that is still not here.
I can only act to Today, I can only act now.
So act now
Because Today is the Tomorrow of Yesterday and the Yesterday of Tomorrow.
Seize the day, as I will have only one change to enjoy the day. A day passed is a day passed and it will not come back to me. So it is better to enjoy in what you are doing because you will never know when is you last day.
Sometimes the challenges I encounter are hard and troublesome. But I still enjoy the day because I know that I have learned something from the problems I fixed that day.
Sometimes things break, and then you have to fix it.
A bike might break. A window may break. Yesterday I broke my server. I had to reinstall the OS and restore my data from a backup. I’ve almost restored it to its old glory, but I lost 5 days of posts which I fortunately could recover those via the web cache of google.com.
Life has a fast pace, urgent matter come and go. Please slow down. Stand still and think about what you want. The earth is spinning fast and the technological advances go fast. A slower pace of living will do you good. Tomorrow the earth is still spinning at the same fast pace.
