Broken Mindset

A verb done over and over…around 10,000 Hours… That might be a very vague approximation, but somehow, author Maloclm Gladwell in his famous book, Outliers… repeatedly mentions the “10,000-Hour Rule”, claiming that the key to success in any field is, to a large extent, a matter of practicing a specific task for a total of [...]

I love what author Chris Evans wrote in his book, Fruit At Work, about Joy: Joy is very different from happiness. Happiness is something you feel at a certain time- usually when something happens to make you happy. Joy is something you keep with you, deep in your heart. Happiness makes you smile, but joy [...]

Been so busy for a while now, with all the wedding preparations. We just had our prenuptial photo shoot yesterday and was out the whole day with my fiancee and some friends who helped us out. Our wedding’s a few months away, but as early as now, we have already received so much favors from [...]

Have you ever doubted God? Have you thought about asking those BIG questions that might even shake the very foundations of your beliefs?

Almost a year ago, I wrote this blog about waiting. Let me get things straight, I’m OK with waiting… I know that waiting for something predictable is something worthwhile. But it is NOT always the case in real life, right singles? Most especially if you DO NOT know what or WHO you are waiting on- like [...]

When was the last time you gave your boss or co workers a gift? Nooo, not those fancy objects wrapped around fancier paper topped with the fanciest ribbons. The genuine gifts. Those truthful praises you give for a job well done. Those extra work you had to take, so that a coworker could go home [...]

Hi everyone, here’s a little break from the usual feel of Broken Mindset. A good friend, Karess, wanted to share a very simple story. Simple but definitely heartfelt. I also consider this as an advanced Valentine’s day post. I hope that as you read her story, you could relate to how she was able to [...]

Are you stressed at work? I’m not asking if you are tired- we all are. I’m not asking if you have problems – we all have. If you are indeed doing work, there is a good chance that you get a regular dose of physical, mental and emotional fatigue and a collection of circumstances which has [...]
