"I Moved Your Cheese"

Just finished an excellent book called; "I Moved Your Cheese" written by Deepak Malhotra who is a professor at Harvard Business school. The book is climbing quite a bit in the business book popularity category, and is a satisfying response to the original business classic "I Moved Your Cheese". I enjoyed it thoroughly and could really see the obvious connections between this read and the Martial Arts - I kept thinking "Every aspiring Martial Artist should read this!".

When I got to the end I read all of the "Acknowledgments" section. Usually this is a portion I skip over, but I liked the book so much I thought it might be nice to see some of the authors influences. I was pleaseantly suprised to see the mention of Sifu Brown as one of the Professor Malhotra's influences.

Check it out if you get a chance. (Also the book is available at the library both in hard copy and digitally) "I Moved Your Cheese"

Very Touching

This article speaks for itself; it's the Ulogy of a man who changed the world and made it a better place. Thank you, Steve Jobs, for everything you created that made our lives a little better and a little happier.

Confidence

Yesterday I talked to the teens about confidence. I believe confidence is an internal knowing; it's a type of mental certainty.

I believe confidence comes from aligning thought and desire. In other words when there is something you want, and you allow no other thought of limitation, or negative belief to grip you - then you will begin to KNOW that your desire is coming.

At the dojo; we use meditation as one of the best tools to eliminate negative belief and therefore allow our natural POWER AND CONFIDENCE to shine through.

Here is a video that to me powerfully gives an example of a person who is a complete state of knowing and confidence. It's pretty amazing to see this joyful, unshakable knowing shine through this contestants words and actions. Enjoy!

The world is changing right before our eyes.

Isn't it wonderful to see that companies are taking a hard look at the way they do things - and then making ethical choices. Good stuff!

Some of the best Steve Jobs Quotes Ever.

I'm a Google fan. I love Android. Yet I have great appreciation for those who have been the great innovators of all times. Steve Jobs is one of those world changers.

In many of these quotes (not all) but many of these quotes you will find some of the best Martial Arts principles ever recorded. If I were to sum up the best of these in one line I would say this: "Care deeply about what you do - don't work for money alone - work from a sense of passion."

Thank you Steve Jobs for making this a better world.

Enjoy
