Hi Bogdan,

Well I thought and today I acted. It was a tough decision but I'm with both feet running. Wish me luck.

Hi John,

Sometimes small seemingly insignificant things can have big impact.

E.g. when you say "I'm trying very trying" you really say I'll do my best but if it doesn't work I will have to leave with it. You can even do nothing and you are still O.K.

The word trying has no obligation and it is shaping our actions. Actually the word trying allows for way out from any obligation.

Imagine that you are going with someone for lunch and you say "I will try to be there".

What do you think the other person will feel?

The same is when you say I'm trying to yourself. No obligation.

Instead of saying I will try. You say "I will do it" and give yourself specific time to accomplish it. If this doesn't happen within the period of time, analyze it and again give yourself a deadline.

Only things which can be measured can be improved.

Saying is easier, thinking is easy, acting is difficult ....... In the same sequence:Talk is cheap, thought does not need not commitment, taking action requires courage, commitment, sacrifice.......

Well, I always feel that there is always another time, another better day for taking action. When faced with the time time for action, I tend to crawl back to my comfort zone with good exuces and put the blame on the circumstances.

But we can always change for the better; it begins in our actions.

Merry Christmas, Bogdan & Adlandpro members.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe (help·info), IPA: [gøːtə], later von Goethe, (28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832) was a German polymath: he was a poet, novelist, dramatist, humanist, scientist, theorist, painter, and for ten years chief minister of state for the duchy of Weimar.

Goethe was one of the key figures of German literature and the movement of Weimar Classicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; this movement coincides with Enlightenment, Sentimentality ("Empfindsamkeit"), Sturm und Drang, and Romanticism. The author of Faust and Theory of Colours, he inspired Darwin^{[citation needed]} with his independent discovery of the human intermaxillary jaw bones and focus on evolutionary ideas. Goethe's influence spread across Europe, and for the next century his works were a primary source of inspiration in music, drama, poetry, and philosophy. He is widely considered to be one of the most important thinkers in Western culture, and is often cited as one of history's greatest geniuses.^[1]

GREAT QUOTE BOGDAN.
