Burn The Excuses

There can never be a testimony without a test, and the sterner the test the more compelling the testimony. The purpose of the tests of life is to separate the winners from the losers, and the pretenders from the serious contenders. However, the most interesting thing is that embedded in every test are two things that are mutually exclusive. These are opportunity and excuses. Of these two, the opportunity often calls with a soft gentle voice while excuses shout from the mountain top. The million dollar question is –which voice are you taking heed to everyday? Life will always present you with excuses to test your resolve and determination to succeed. You can choose to form an alliance with your excuses and undermine your chances of success; or you can choose to deal ruthlessly with your excuses.

Instant Success

Instant Noodles are probably one of the greatest inventions of all times. The strange thing is that they really are not instant and really are not a new invention. They are just the same old noodles in a new package and marketed a little differently.

There has to be a lesson to be learned when this product is given a closer inspection. Here is something (The noodle) that is hundreds or even thousands of years old. Yet it is now one of the most profitable food niche markets in existence today. Whether it is ramen, canton, bihon, pancit or whatever name it is known by locally, the concept is actually very amazing.
