Thoughts on building a healthy relationship

Looking back in time, have you ever wondered why you got into a relationship with your wife/girlfriend? Or have you ever wondered why you stuck to a bunch of good friends through thick and thin? Or why have you choosen that particular person as your business partner? What exactly is the magical formula or potion to substain that relationship you are looking for or you are already in?

The answer lies in creating common goals, common values and doing common activities together. In every relationship two key elements dictate if the relationship will be successful and lasting. Firstly its the purpose of the relationship. It might be for companionship, a person looking for another person for company or to confide their troubles to. It might be for protection, a group makes it harder for others to harm you. Or it might be for economic progression on both part of the parties involved, the principal of leverage applies here whereby different parties with different abilities team up to achieve a common goal drawing on each other's strength. Secondly, its the meaning of the relationship. What does this relationship means to either party involved? Is the person an integral part of the other party's life? Does the person provide something the other party is looking for? Or is the other party merely leeching on the other person's resources and not contributing?

For any relationship to work, all parties involved must contribute to a common goal, providing coverage for each other, creating values for each other. In this way you will become an integral part of the person life and you will gain the trust and in turn the protection and help from the other party.

Relationship building is an art and its not done by copying the actions of others, most important element of any relationship is that actions taken must be from the heart not merely doing it just to show others that you did something.

I have a dream -- Westlife

A song that always rejuvenates me whenever i feel tired...

I have a dream -- Westlife

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream


I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Bitter Sweet Harmony of life...

Was watching a tvb drama "Tang Xin feng bao" when these thoughts flowed into my mind... In the drama the elder brother emblezzed the family company's money to help his younger brother to tide over a crisis.... And when it was found out that the money has been emblezzed he took the blame for his brother and remained quiet about it... There was a picture on the wall and it said... "Eat it no matter if its sweet or bitter"

This little picture reminded me of how a leader should behave... The duty of a leader is to make his subjects shine... Sometimes in order to make other people shine, personal sacrifices are to be made and the leader have to face the bulk of the repercussion of the sacrifices... Such is the journey of a true leader that will earn the admiration of his subjects... But choosing of his subjects is important... Its a skill a leader must have in order to identify people whom will be loyal to his cause and not betray his trust and his sacrifices...

Endure for the journey is long....

Hero

Let me be your hero

Would you dance,
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run,
And never look back?
Would you cry,
If you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble,
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die,
For the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear,
That youll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?

I dont care...
Youre here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just wanna to hold you.
I just wanna to hold you.
Oh yeah.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I dont care...
Youre here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by your forever.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you, forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

Journey of life?

"Owning a business is not all about having glamour... Its about having more responsibilties than others and working harder than your employees...  Behind all that glamour that shines on all successful businessman are years of hard work and sacrifices..."

Be humble for the journey is long... Set sail and catch the trade winds for you will not discover new land if you do not venture beyond the horizon...
