Another point to add: Playing Games

I remember reading a book on the Parker Brothers on how during the last economic recession way back in WW1 or WW2 periods, they got to motivate the entire nation through various boardgames that they had released.

Of course one game which took off was Monopoly! That got people to be psyched up and wanting to get their dreams back alive of having a great life.

Re: Manvotional: The American Boy by Theodore Roosevelt | The Art of Manliness

Daniel Richard — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:40:05 -0000

Being manly and doing good are synonymous. No doubt's about that. Coming from Theodore Roosevelt helps makes it more down to earth and applicable to us even until today. :)

Re: Winning People by Our Countenance (Facial Expression)

Daniel Richard — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:30:13 -0000

@Shilpan: Yep! I can imagine that. They tend to have this certain feeling around them that makes us want to back away from the person until he/she starts to regain composure.

I wonder if people who show negative body language for most part of the day can be attributed to the culture they were brought up in (and yet to notice of that), or most likely there is no one to show them or put a thought in adopting a practice of having positive body language that draws others closer in their life.

Re: Winning People by Our Countenance (Facial Expression)

Daniel Richard — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:17:48 -0000

@Renae: Thanks for your encouragement! Yes! The joy of the Lord is our strength. That's a huge way to show how healthy we are with our walk with God. I will see more of you here yeps! :D

@Shilpan: Thanks for your praises too. I did the design for this blog, my friend prompted me to do some changes to the original logo and here's one for the dramatic feel.

The "things to do now" post footer is manually done with a div container and manually adding the links and icons into the "single.php" file in the templates.

@Mon-Ting: I used to have power naps in class. After 10 to 15 minutes dozing off in lessons made me more alert. Haha. That was also how I turned my F9 into a B3 in Mathematics for the O'level years. :D

Re: Happiness Friday: To Enjoy Every Minute and Second of Sleep

Daniel Richard — Sun, 04 May 2008 10:12:27 -0000

@Shilpan: Hey! I do that too. Haha. Easier to sleep and all. That was also mentioned in #3 about un-cluttering before hitting the bed. It is not cool to sleep worrying about things at all. :)

@Hunter: Haha. I had watched the cartoon version of Iron Man when I was little, and loved the characters! It was amazing to see the cool live-action movie on the big screens. I had wanted to write an entry with an interesting take on the show, and had laid out the 12 points list that happened in chronological order of the movie itself.

Iron Man was surely a fun movie to watch, and I'm glad that all of you liked this post too. Great seeing you here!

Re: 3 Ways and a “Catapult” to Get A Kickstart in Your Morning!

Daniel Richard — Thu, 22 May 2008 06:57:26 -0000

@Mavarick: Haha. We could all have a mini competition to see how far can we catapult ourselves from the bed. The winner in terms of far distance and the ability to land on both feet wins the great day award. :p

Re: 3 Ways and a “Catapult” to Get A Kickstart in Your Morning!

Daniel Richard — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:37:08 -0000

@Jephthah: Yosh! Yeah! That sounds really nice. Set the catapult to a direction you are heading in the day and boom! Off you go right into the thick of action with full awareness and consciousness around you! :D

Re: 3 Ways and a “Catapult” to Get A Kickstart in Your Morning!

Daniel Richard — Thu, 22 May 2008 21:20:15 -0000

Shilpan! Hey. You meant "Daniel" instead of "Mavarick". Lol.
Looks like I need to get the author's name shown somewhere more prominent on the site. :)

Heya guys!

Thanks for commenting. :)

@Matthew: It's like your first comment here dude! Do wanna see you here more often!

@Renae: Wow! You must be a wonderful singer or great in a handful of instruments!

@Evelyn: That's right. It's a journey that we all walk in. I'm sure there is one of the 6 character traits (portrayed as competition runners here) in all of us, though when we look back onto our own lane, it's us (like you mentioned - our shortcomings and weaknesses) that we are up against. :D

Thanks a gazillion!

Daniel

Re: Running and Finishing the Excellence Mile! - Part 1 of 2

Daniel Richard — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 14:40:31 -0000

Hey Karl!

Great having you here. Yeps I agree with you to about enjoying the races we have in our lives!

The blocks in our lives can be turned into our advantages by giving us a deeper motivation to fight against them and overcome those setbacks and weaknesses that will only make us stronger. Is that what you were implying? ;)

Re: Running and Finishing the Excellence Mile! - Part 1 of 2

Daniel Richard — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:37:57 -0000

Shilpan! Hey!

That's a huge compliment. I'd gladly take it. You've just made my day that encouragement in the comment. :)

I'd say that it is the people that we follow and learn from that made us who we are today. I'm fortunate to be exposed to great personalities since 5 years ago, and never looked back from then.

You too have a powerful story and life now that I'm sure many would like to emulate the successes you have today. That's something to look forward to!

Thanks again for your comment Shilpan!

Daniel

Re: Name A Defining Moment in Your Life and How Much Did You Have in Your Pocket At That Time?

Daniel Richard — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 05:22:07 -0000

Hey guys! Thanks for the comments here! I was intending to get other's feedbacks in first before I start writing out mine, so all of us have a stake in this conversation and participate as equals here. :)

@Shilpan: When was that when you arrived at US and what was the thing that made you go for the change? I'm keen to find out more!

@Evelyn: I'm sure you'll be an awesome mom to your wonderful children! The stories you share on your site are fitting to share with them too. Especially the ones with the 17 types of smiles. I'm sure it will be a great conversational piece for years to come.

Here's my add to this entry that I've shared with a friend on Live Messenger earlier:

It was on a Sunday, on a week when my birthday was on in the late February 2007, and it was also a church day for me right at Singapore Expo which was at the other end of the island.

I had ran out of cash in my wallet and left with S$8 in my bank account back then, and had almost no way of going for the service, where a prominent pastor from Sweden was having a 3 day conference in.

During those days, I was severely lacking in confidence to speak or talk to anyone as easily and openly as today, and used to have doubts. What made matter worse was that I was already running late for the day, and I couldn't bear to step out of my house as there was like none of my friends who are still at the western side of Singapore that I could look for in the last minute to hitch a ride to the east where the event was held.

It was already 30 minutes since the start of the service, and I had just arrived at the nearest public train system and I sat at one corner not knowing what to do. I felt quite dumb for even stepping out of my house in the first place with nothing on hand.

Then an idea struck. Which was to go have a talk with the train station's personnel.

I did that, only after procrastinating and thinking if that was even a good idea at all for a whole 5 minutes.

To my surprise, I was given a free pass without needing to have any long discussion or anything. And I made it to church after 1 hr and 45 minutes. Interestingly, I was allowed entrance and in the midst of 8,000 people in the hall, the pastor started talking about the topic on being prosperous and trusting God. It was the start of a juicy message when I came in. :)

That was a memorable moment that defined me today in 3 ways;

1. Act of random kindness / generosity to make one's day

With the help of a kind assistance from the train station by helping me out without the need to go through any lengthy form of discussions or persuasions, it made my day by getting me to the destination and learning something great from an apostle on that weekend that happened to be on my birthday week.

2. Increased in confidence with faith to trust God

That thought just came out of nowhere after tons of self-questioning since at home. I was already delaying myself and thought of the 100 other reasons to give my friends that I won't be joining them that day. It was only when I decided to agree and go forward, that the next simple but powerful thought when acted upon came.

And that idea was quite straightforward too! "Go up and ask the operator in that control room." That was it.

I've redefined the word "faith" in an easier way to understand and which made sense in the 2nd part of The Excellence Mile. Look up there to find out more about that word. :)

The widely known universal principal of the "ask and you shall receive" quote worked in this scenario, and gave me a great story to tell about from that moment.

3. Be a people's solution!

Of course one reason why that event sticked is because that was one of the few ways that inspired me to generously help others just by being there, and providing timely solutions to people that are around you.

Let's be someone else's miracle and be a people's solution today! :D

--

Alright! Now your turn to share more stories and how that had defined you, and how much you had with you at that time.

That would be awesome. Checking back later guys!

Re: Name A Defining Moment in Your Life and How Much Did You Have in Your Pocket At That Time?

Daniel Richard — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:39:38 -0000

@Karl: Woah. That was quite a nasty experience. True too, that we now know that we need goals in our lives, and treasure every single minute and second of it to not be overly obsessed with drinking and more booze. Big changes 7 years later. I can see. :D

@Chris: Hey! Thanks for coming over here. :) Your story reminds me of one I had too when I was 14. My friend and I looked over the soccer field with the current school team playing. We told each other that we would represent our school in a year or two. I took that seriously and in 1 year I got into the team, and shortly after, got a handful more of friends who we played together and represented our school colors. Our capabilities are definitely boundless when we put our mind and heart to it.

@Mavarick: Yosh! Get your A's into A'stars! Cos' you are an awesome pal. And deserve to be the top percentile in your university!

Thanks for all the comments! :)

Re: Complete Lives With Beautiful Words

Daniel Richard — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:59:26 -0000

Haha. It's better to quote people who are active in life now. Cos' it allows us the liberty to interact with one another at the very present moment. :)

Re: Complete Lives With Beautiful Words

Daniel Richard — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:14:56 -0000

Hey Shilpan!

Gosh I'm still here. Didn't expect the comments to come in that quickly.

You too are a huge inspiration, not withholding any form of compliments and encouragements to your friends. Your first boss wasn't wrong at all. You surely have always been a smart young man. Even until now that both words "smart" and "young" applies. :)

Have a great day ahead!

Re: Complete Lives With Beautiful Words

Daniel Richard — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:46:27 -0000

Hey Robert!

I personally believe that it saves a whole lot of time to mention the strengths of others and like by praising in an audience that will build one another up to greater effect!

Seen your article too. Glad that you had a wonderful supervisor that had helped you through that encouraging words. :)

--

Yo Jephthah!

You were the one who got me into the whole entrepreneurial mindset shake-up which helped me get my big break in the majority of the text in the starting paragraphs.

And I too remember two more instances where you were the one who said a few words that helped me see tremendous breakthrough results like the one in the gym where I was doing the leg exercise thing by pushing the weights with my feet. You said that "all things are possible", and I got the whole weights lifted up gradually from 6 bars or so to the entire stack. That was one of the coolest experiences that I had!

Let's continue building people up like how you had done so all the while. :D

All of you are awesome people! Thanks for the comments. Would love to see more of you all here often!

Re: Replicating Your Successes With Your Current Goals

Daniel Richard — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:18:07 -0000

@Evelyn Lim - I realized that there's definitely a hint of neuro linguistic pattern or method which was featured in this article. Haha. And that this is a powerful approach when we can tap into it as fast as flicking a switch to on it, and move on together with the state to replicate the successes in new ventures! :D

@Doc KC - Hey! It's the first time seeing ya here. How would I best address you? :) This sure does apply with the part where you said about "why reinvent the wheel" when we have a success formula in our hands with our experiences already. However we sure can take that one step further and add in new and modern ways with the methods, techniques, and state of emotions that we had before to conduct a new venture - with successful results too!

@Shilpan | successsoul.com - Digg hard enough! No puns intended I suppose. One of my favorite approaches in regards to build people up is to start with our strengths and areas we are passionate in. Sure helps to get us up and going faster and making us more effective. ;)

@Renae - Lol! My friend was the one who came up with that tag! He too was the main baker and cookie designer for that period! :D

Thanks for the comments! Do pass this on to your friends too. :D

@Shilpan | successsoul.com - Yeps! I too would say something good about the person, like lets say if I'm impressed with the other party's dressing, I'd go "Hey! Liked the shirt *adds name*." Which follows closely to #2 that you had mentioned. :)

Daniel Richard — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 10:48:59 -0000

You have a point there Sprout. Yet again, it can be a double edged sword in a way.

Apart from looking at it as being pawns in the education system, one too can look in a perspective that says that they would love to succeed in becoming a highly valued careerist / employee and thus their education and academic levels would be pushed to match the ever growing needs of the industries they choose to be in. :)

Re: Need We Have Another Reason (to Build People Up)?

Daniel Richard — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:33:51 -0000

@Vered - Thanks for coming over! You too have a cool blog over on the web. Cya ard!

Re: The Whole Education System Was Invented To Meet The Needs Of Industrialization.

Daniel Richard — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:10:15 -0000

Heya Evelyn! You are right on too with your point mentioned. Academic results may help only if the person wants to be involved in his work that he had decided to venture into, and that what he had learned would be valuable and relevant only for a probable lesser than a decade with more techniques constantly being thought of and improved on daily.

However, there are too a need of workers to further push the ideas of inventors that are of a massive scale into reality with the methods taught and learned in school - especially during post secondary level education.

Not all is wasted if the person involved had decided his field of work early on in his own academic life.

Yeah, I was also told that it is important to have an About page, but I felt that it was pretty much unnecessary for me to have one page if I could replace it with a one liner that fits nicely in as a tooltip. That's my secret! :D

Great article for learning on how to turn self-sabotaging situations into a momentum that keeps us going on.

I can relate to this when I will at times go on and say that I'd buy this huge thing and then got myself to put tons of energy to fast at the start only to burn out and start over again. This time handling that at a much better pace and without any worries. :)

I'm sure your post will be helpful for others too. Thanks for publishing this. :D

Gotta add this in. The cool part about freelancing is that we are paid by projects. And if each project could be completed by lets say... an hour which was estimated to be done in 1 full day, then you get paid for the entire thing for that.

Of course, living as a freelancer requires us to be more frugal than as when we had a job. :)

Yeah, now that there's this economical turmoil that's going on in the world today, information is still critical to most of our work force, especially when it has gotta do with finances.

Not always there would be any good news among the rest of the gloomy outlook. But the info is there for us to apply and put into best use for our own lives.

Re: Make Your Blog Design Work For You

Daniel Richard — Sun, 18 May 2008 12:26:52 -0000

Heya! Great timing on this topic about making your blog design work for ya. Got this link from Darren's problogger site through his tweet.

Yeah my blog (Winning Everyone) had received a number of comments based on the design itself on the latest entry posted today: http://winningeveryone.com/money-wise/what-you-...

And the comments there were totally off the topic written in that blog entry. Haha. :D

I have a huge header which on its own is a link to the main page of the site, with a uber-big menu bar. Those two are almost the total opposite of the thin-header that you have written about. Yet again, they seem to fit nicely and adds to the color and brought in a dramatic effect to the site.

That's like giving the newer viewers a "wow" experience before getting into the entries that are of a same high quality that's expected from the writers.

The other two things I need to take note of is to make the site's usability up another notch with the menu bar to be the main navigation on the blog, while the 2nd would be to bring in the blogroll feature in a neat way, either by adding them into the footer, or adopt the Rockstar approach that you use in yours. :)

Re: Example of a Great PR Pitch

Daniel Richard — Wed, 21 May 2008 23:16:30 -0000

I liked the part where in his PR message, he referred himself as "I", that shows that he is really representing himself (he made it clear about that at the start).

And he made it very brief and went straight into 3 short and easy to understand points.

The "Social Media Release" is exactly the key. That's his agenda. He made it easy to find, it was after a short few sentences, and I'm certain that it doesn't require much searching, scrolling, or reading between the lines to know what the sender was up to.

The last part was neat. Instead of blasting a huge composition of the things he could have copied and paste right out from those links, he consolidated them and presented the outbound information in links that are nicely written.

Very human indeed! Sure made us feel important while allowing him to fulfill his task at the same time. :)

If I could remember, McDonalds did try to go into the hotel industry before. No doubt that even though it made some money, it wasn't really a successful venture.

Their brand had been established towards the fast food industry, and also gearing up for a more healthier image.

There's an expectation from consumers and the market to the various brands that the companies set out to create in the first place. It's up to the businesses to deliver (and exceed) those expectations that the brand held.

Re: The Predictable Irrationality of Life

Daniel Richard — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:07:36 -0000

My take on decision in regards to the "5-dollars-per-cup-of-coffee" part is that by having a store in a place where it is built and has already been serving a huge crowd before having a new coffee joint put in place, unknowingly teaches us (as the audience) that it is normal and fine to pay 5 dollars for that cup of coffee, rather than going all the way to another place to pay for something that costs 5 times lesser.

The store being there already solved one of our thinking process by eliminating the inconvenience factor and helped us speed up our decision process making, biased towards the "it is ok to buy here" mentality that the store has just by having a prime location.

I'm in a 2 year season thats gonna end at this December, and living on a 12 hr day shifts with another 2 days off for every tour of 2 work shifts done.

Balance to me for this period would be to get to meet up with friends, for a meal, chat, games (just came back from a late dinner with a couple of my friends too! one of whom we met up by coincidence too!) and then coming back home to rest, read up on blogs that I follow, while writing on the simple stuffs in life in the WE blog that I'm running.

20 hrs, 24 hrs, or even 28 hrs days are almost normal to me now. And this kind of schedule has been integrated into a balance life for me this season.

Haha. I can't wait to jump into the next season that starts right at the end of this year. Should be fun. :D
