Positive Tips #8: Make a list of life goals
December 6, 2010
In previous tips I had mentioned that it's a good idea to dream and to dream big. One of the ways that you can keep track of the dreams and try to get action towards them is to keep a list of life goals. This simple list can be as long as you want but it should be filled of things that you really want to do in your life. Keep the list handy, possibly in your dorm room or posted on your cubicle or in a journal. The point is, refer to your list often, challenge yourself and set timelines to when you think...

Positive Tip #7: It’s all about confidence
December 5, 2010
Think about some of the people you look up to in this world. I'm talking about maybe your parents, celebrities, your boss or maybe even your saint. When you think about these role models and heroes, think about their traits. You can usually begin to get some consistent themes among role models and one important one is CONFIDENCE. We look up to people because we like some facet of their life. Something just fascinates us about them and in a sense we want to model our lives to some extent to what...

Positive Tip #6: Don’t Forget to Say “I Love You”
December 2, 2010
I can't really think of a three word phrase that can mean more than this phrase. In this short exchange of words, you can show your ultimate affection and appreciation of a person. It really is the ultimate sign of respect and admiration. Why is this phrase so powerful? As human beings we spend a lot of our time on this earth searching for who is going to be our soulmate. Who is going to be that perfect match and that perfect compliment to ourselves? It's such a powerful draw and perhaps goes...

Positive Tip #5: Take a walk, take the stairs
December 1, 2010
For 10-11 hours a day, I work in a typical cubicle with a seat that isn't exactly the most comfortable thing in the world. Most of the day I stare at a computer and do my programming diligently. I really don't have that many qualms with the situation, but I don't think it really helps too much health-wise. Think about it, if you have an office job, you tend to sit for extended periods of time and aren't particularly active (unless you have a particularly interesting conference call). I've found...

Positive Tip #4: There's a reason why laughing feels so good
December 1, 2010
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 degrees Celsius. The Russians used a pencil. Lol. Usually when you hear (or rather see) this three letter "word", you either hate it, or you're...

Positive Tip #3: Don't be afraid to ask for help
November 30, 2010
Now I'm not the type of person that usually likes asking for help on certain things. I've always liked solving problems on my own and I guess that's why I like programming so much. It's the thrill of debugging and solving a problem and getting that ah ha moment! But sadly, life isn't all about If statements and Loops. Life gets tough. Every person has their own path to cross and their own destiny to fulfill. I'm pretty sure you would not say that your life is just peachy and you've never had any hiccups....

Positive Tip #2: Dream. Dream Big.
November 30, 2010
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. ~ Mark Twain ~ Everyone has dreams. It comes in all different flavors and sizes. You can dream to achieve a world record, to get through med school and be a great doctor, to own your business one day, or even to just be a father or a mother. The simple fact in life is we all get aspirations and they come and go. How many times have you actually...

November 29, 2010
For this blog, I thought I'd give out tips on being more positive in life every single day. Hopefully, I remember to post every single day but I thought it'd be a good way to look at things and have something to think about as we go forward in life. Tip #1 - Just Breathe My daily routine usually consists of: waking up, shower, get dressed, walk twix, work for 10 or so hours, come home and take twix out on a long walk, eat a quick dinner, work a bit more, worry about what still needs to be done,...
