New Year’s Resolutions

By -
Lots of people make them and then break them within a couple of months of the new year. Make this the year you are going to do something positive for yourself. Take charge of your life and your career. Don’t sit around and feel sorry for yourself because everyone has more control of your life than you do. Take the bull by the horns (take charge.)

What things can you change about your life that would make you happier? Remember only you can change yourself…and even you cannot change others. Sit down and make a list…a short list of doable things you want to change. Be specific. For example: I will read one self-help book by February 15. I will add at least one new person to my personal network each month. I will read Elizabeth and Pat’s blog: leadershipmentorgroup.blogspot.com once a week and respond at least once every two months. Then take the time to follow-up on yourself. Success breeds success. When you start to see results, you will add other doable resolutions to your list. Now get going…do it!

Happy New Year and happy new you

Pat

Had my new year resolutions set half month ago, and already started doing it, but still hard since one of them is not fully dependent on how i act but others. Want to know what that is? :-)

Happy new year to Pat and Elizabeth, you guys are wonderful mentors to me, i feel so lucky to have the change get tagged onto your blog. Yes, i will reply at least once a month!

Inner peace and happiness are my goals of 2009! Wish you both the same!

Love, Sophie

Lost 15 pounds in 60 days

Since I joined BMC in 2014, I have been traveling more than 50% throughout the year, visiting customers, giving talks at conferences and working with my global teams. Most of the dinners were formal, several courses with glasses of wine.  The food was delicious and different each day, I enjoyed traveling and enlighting interactions with our customers and teams. Well,  I gained more than 15 pounds, and I was no longer as nimble and fit. Sadly, one of my classmate at PKU graduate school passed away unexpectedly, and a partner at Zen Water Capital died in the same month earlier this year.  “The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.”   – Seneca I made my decision to change the way I worked and lived.   Late February, I decided to leave my job at BMC, and my final day at BMC was April 28, 2017.  I wanted to devote my time to write the V2 of myths of the promotion, as well as draft the AI book, working on the two pressing and meaningful projects before I take

Building a Successful Career - Step One

By -
The first step in building a successful career starts from understanding one important person - you. It is the fundamental and hardest step, because you cannot see yourself externally, but only can get external validation from other people… people you trust, people you do not trust, people you love and even people you hate. It is very hard to get a real view of yourself when you live in an ever changing and biased world. We have to live with that person we see in the mirror everyday. It is human nature to be self-centered and love oneself. Most people are willing to live in a self-filtered fantasy world unconsciously rejecting other people's perspectives in order to protect such a fantasyland in their own minds. However, in some extreme cases, people who have low self-esteem can only see their weaknesses. They are living in a dark critical self- constructed cave in their mind and can hardly see any of their prior successes and strengths. These people must learn to love t
