Posted by Jef Menguin at 29th November, 2009

At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. There are people who exist but do not live. They wake up each morning not knowing what to do.

Dare to Dream Bigger Dreams

Posted by Jef Menguin at 13th October, 2009

Dare to dream dreams. Do not be afraid. Do not deny yourself that opportunity to change your life and make a difference in the lives of people simply because you fear failure. The real failures in life are those who dare not dream. The real failures in life regret not those which they did, but those which they did not attempt to do.

Be Grateful

Posted by Jef Menguin at 8th October, 2009

To become leaders, we must be grateful. Be thankful for everything that we have. Some of us ask God to help us become stronger and wiser. And when we don’t like what God gives us, we call it problems, not miracles. Be thankful. A philosopher once said that if you don’t know how to pray, a “thank you” is more than enough. Grateful people are happy people too. Leaders are not meant to be unhappy, don’t you think?

Ask for Help

Posted by Jef Menguin at 29th June, 2009

I told my students that I don't read minds. It is up to them to talk to me and ask for help. Most people don't ask for help. They rather die figuring out everything by themselves than ask other people for help. Realize that there are people who have the right knowledge and resources who ...
