Challenge and Innovation are popular,pleasant-sounding words. In the reality,however, they lead to hardships and risks that require unimaginable amounts of hard work, patience, and courage.
In my opinion, we should not even say the word challenge until we have gathered the necessary ingredients for innovation. We must be able to back this w
ord up with the courage to face a challenge and the stamina to withstand long, crushing hardships.
In Japan,a person who uses the word challenge without preparing any such backup is called a 'banyuu',or a reckless fool.
Only if we are well prepared mentally can we continually challenge ourselves to innovate in business management. Additionally.our enterprise must be in good financial shape, with enough capital to launch new projects and sail them safely to completion. When you want to innovate,you must begin with a firm conviction, extreme courage, daily perseverance, and the skills acquired through personal experience.
''Extensive financial and mentalpreparation is necessary before we can challenge and innovation''

I always keep in mind and tell myself to wrestle in the center of the ring. That means to act on the challenges immediately, and not wait until you are pushed to the edge of a deadline.
I am sure most of us have the experience of burning the midnight oil before an exam. Many of us must have run out of time and faced a test in a desperate mood. Since the time and date of an exam are scheduled beforehand, we should start sooner if we want to get a good grade. But many of us don't.
In Japan Sumo wrestling, we see that some wrestlers wait until they are on the very edge of the ring and about to be thrown out before they really fight to defend themselves. I often wonder why they don't use their 'super power'
strength while they are still in the center.
Our life is no different. when we are in the center of the ring, we feel relaxed (shuang~) because there is plenty of time and room to make our moves. Then we put forth a flurry of activity when we are pushed to the edge of the ring.
We should always pretend that there is no time or room left, and make our efforts long before we are actually about to be pushed out of the ring.
~Prepare ''reserves'', then act as though you have no reserve at all. This is the secret of a stable life.~ Kazuo Inamori
A young Buddhist monk once asked a wise priest to describe hell. the old priest replied that in hell, there is a giant cooking pot, a yard wide, filled with delicious noodles -- however, your only serving utensils are chopsticks which are also a yard in length.
''You can imagine what happens.'' the priest explained. ''Everybody is hungry and fighting to feel themselves with the yard-long chopsticks. They manage to pick noodles up, but the chop-sticks are too long to maneuver the noodles into their mouths. They become frantic and flounder at the noodles, each wanting to be the first to eat, and they even attack others for their food. In the end, with the noodles everywhere but in their mouths, they suffer a permanent, agonizing hunger.''
The young monk then asked for a description of heaven, to which the old priest replied: ''Heaven is actually quite the same. Only there, each person picks up the noodles and offers them to someone on the other side of the pot, saying ' Please be the first to enjoy this wonderful mea.' And the other accepts the food, saying 'Thank you, and please allow me to return you the kindness.' Trough their unselfish minds, they enjoy eternal bliss.''
{In our real life journey, everything can be heaven or hell, depending on whether we view them as win-lose situations , zero-sum games, or win-win opportunities of compounding synergy}

Ok, in this post...i wouls like to tell u all something tat related to our mind. That's NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)!
According to wikipedia dotcom...the definition of NLP is a controversial approach to psychotherapy and organizational change based on "a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them" and "a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behaviour". and blaaa blaa blaa blaa... ... ... ( if u wish to know more, can log on http://www.wikipedia.com/ and search abt it )
ok...to make u more clear abt NLP, u can watch the video below...
the ppl was encouraged to do something which tat he think he cant achieve previously by using NLP...tats fantastic! to give more examples...hmm...do u see someone enjoy bite and swallow the pieces of glass? ppl who walk on the hot-burning charcoal without hesitate and injure? tats all play by our mind.
Hi,actually i am quite a busy during this mid-term test..not with academic stuff but the stuff that i interested in...i goes thru alot of websites and get to know more abt Human Mind. i started to get interest on study of mind or something abt psychology and something abt neurology. Although i spent most of the time on those non-academic related stuff but i found out that 'practice doen't make perfect but effective practice make perfect'. Nowadays, there r too much of information we got to know..normally we just read around 160-200 words per min but how i still feel tat we r not fast enought and we nid some effective way to save our time! therefore,some skills we nid to practice of...examples: speedreading and photoreading.
hmm...i do not know whether it works for me or not, but i am start practicing it. Hope can get use to these skills asap, and i will tell u all more abt it after tat! if u r interested in these skill or u hope tat u can study more effectively, rmb catch up with my blog ya! (i most probably will post more abt this after my mid-term test).
ya, just wanted to share, the most famous scientist, Albert Einstein...he just used up few percent of his brain power while we just used up around 1% of it. LOL! Imagine tat...wat abt if u used up 5%? 30%? or even more than 50%? i believe u will not belongs to 'Genius' category, but 'God' category. and we can achieve many things after u hav unlock ur mind.
I will try to do more research and practical abt human mind, i will prove to u guys soon^^
