Hi, dear readers,

I have learnt something from reading so many great books. Every great author emphasises the  importance of reading daily. All successful people have cultivated this good habit: daily reading, especially those motivational readings. Hence, in order to facilitate your search of good books, I have created this link for you,  Daily Brain Food You just need to click on it and you will find abundance of very excellent reading materials. Do visit it often and I guarantee you that you will learn a good deal from these exceptionally good books.

Keep reading and keep succeeding.

Stay tuned and take care.

Your good friend,

Shirley

Introduction

February 18, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Hi, my dear readers,

Remember I am a girl who has fallen in love with reading since June, 2006? In fact, before that, I  never enjoy reading. I only thing I read are the  compulsory materials given by school teachers. I hated reading. I would doodle on the compulsory readings. It was such a tortune at that time.

Since last year June, I suddenly find books I  really enjoy reading. Most of them are on personal development, public speaking, internet marketing and etc. I would like to share my thoughts for each book I read as a means of communicating with you and hopefully can get some feedback from you.

If you have books you like reading, please drop me a comment and recommend to us so that we all can benefit from it. Nothing is greater than sharing.

Though this is an introduction post,  I would like to let you know which book I am currently reading. I am reading the book titled “See You at the Top” written by Zig Ziglar. I love the book as it is filled with abundance of ready-to-use techniques to improve yourself. If you are interested and have time, please go and grab one to read. I will share with you my thoughts on it after I have finished reading it.

Stay tuned and choose to be happy.

Yours sincerely,

Shirley

Happy Chinese New Year to all my faithful readers!

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese readers.

I am so happy and excited to start off this post. Now, it is public holiday and from yesterday and until next Thursday, it is my university (the National University of Singapore)  recess week, a week meant for all students to catch up their studies and prepare for the coming midterm tests. It sounds a bit sarcastic, right? Never mind, I will try to make this recess week balanced with studies, private tuition and fun outdoor activities.

Tomorrow we are going to climb Bukit Timah Hill, although  I  have been staying in Singapore for more than 6 years, I  have never been to this Bukit Timah Hill before. I want to stretch myself up and I want to be fit. Don’t you? I just received my medical report from DAYSPRING Wellness, after I read the report, I am generally healthy, but I  am a bit underweight, my current weight is 45 kg, and my ideal weight should be 51.5 kg. Ha, I should have no worry to eating more during this Chinese New Year. It is not good to be neighter overweight too much nor overweight too much. We all should try to control our weight within the healthy range, as our body weight plays a big role in determining our general health.  Here, I suggest all of us to go for medical check up at least once a year. This can put our mind at rest if we know what we do and eat is promoting our health. Right?

Well, we all have 24 hours a day, and we all have a lot of things to accomplish. Hence, time management is very important. I have been trying hard to plan my daily schedules to accomplish what I want to do within each day. I tend to focus on “TODAY“, I always try to make my “today” work for me and try to utilise it to its fullest for every “ today”. I hope you also have your way to achieve the most out of one day. A secret I want to share with you is to plan your day before you go to bed. For me, every day, before I  go to bed, I will list down the things I  decide to accomplish the next day on a piece of paper and stick it to my laptop screen. So the next day when I get up, I will feel totally prepared and happy to start one day off. If you have any suggestions or ideas , do drop me a comment and let’s start our discussion, so that we can learn from each other.

Come and join me.
