Anita Moorjani: Dying to be me!

·        Anita Moorjani was born in Singapore of Indian parents, moved to Hong kong at the age of two, and has lived in Hong kong most of her life. Because of her background and british education, she is multilingual and grew up speaking English, Cantonese, and an Indian dialect simultaneously; she later learned French at school. Anita had been working in he corporate world for many years before being diagnosed with cancer in April 2002. Her fascinating and moving near-death experience in early 2006 tremendously changed her perspective on life, and her work is now ingrained with the depths and insights she gained while in the other realm.

As a result of her death experience, Anita is often invited to speak at conferences a nd events around the globe to share her insights. She’s also a frequent guest at the University of Hong Kong’s department of behavioral sciences, speaking on topics such as dealing with terminal illness, facing death, and the psychology of spiritual beliefs. She is the embodiment of the truth that we all have the inner power and wisdom to overcome even life’s most adverse situations, as she’s the living proof of this possibility

Anita currently live in Hong Kong with her husband, and when she’s not travelling and speaking at conferences, she works as an intercultural consultant for multinational corporations based in the city.

Salute to you anita! May god bless you healthy and successful life.

Thank you for such great motivation.

Good things:

“Good things come to those who wait, but only those things left by those who hustle.”

Thanks to Abraham Lincoln

Destination

Knowledge helps you to reach your destination- provided you know what the destination is. Unless we focus, we cannot achieve our goal. It is hard to focus and concentrate, but it is a skill that can be learned. 

Well-defined Goals:

Well-defined goals give a person a sense of direction, a feeling of accomplishment when he reaches his goals. More important than goals is sense of purpose and vision. They give meaning and fulfillment to life.

In setting we need to be realistic. Unrealistic goals remain unaccomplished, leading to poor self-esteem, whereas realistic goals are encouraging and build high self-esteem.

Only losers quit and give up:

An English proverb says, “A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.” Everything is difficult before it becomes easy. We cannot run away from our problems. Only losers quit and give up.

“Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.”

By Eric Hoffer

Old Values are not obsolete

Values such as responsibility, integrity, commitment and patriotism are considered old fashioned by some but they are certainly not obsolete.

"A nation is held together by shared beliefs and shared attitudes. That is what enables them to rise above the conflicts that plaque any society. That is what gives a nation its tone, its fiber, its integrity, its moral style, its capacity to endure."

Thanks to John Gardner. 

Streetsweeper:

Most people forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well it was done. The feeling of a job well done is a reward in itself. It is better to do small things well than do many things poorly.

Thanks to Martin luther King, Jr., as he said:

“If a man is called to be streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.”

Have Patience....

“Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.”

Thanks to Brian Adams

Faith

“Faith is trusting in good. Fear is putting your trust in the bad.”

I promise myself……

I promise myself……

“To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism comes true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.”

Thankful to Rhonda Byrne
