You can spend all day correcting people, criticizing them, berating them that their beliefs are wrong, and persuading them to see your point of view. You may be right. It may do good. They might be saved. Who knows. But more often than not, it doesn’t make things better for the whole planet. If anything,…

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you do or how rich you are. You can always help people. Especially those affected by natural disasters such as wildfires, typhoons, earthquakes, etc. It’s not necessarily “many people”. Even one person will do. What matters is you help them solve their problems or make their lives…

You can’t force people to be kind. You can’t force them to do good things. You can’t force them to donate extra money or start something beneficial for society. And that’s okay. Because if they don’t, then go start doing it. Start small. Help one person. Then a few people. Positivity, courage, and kindness are…

Your education, achievements, and wealth are pointless if you can’t treat a fellow human being with respect and dignity. Whatever their economic status or race, respect them for who they are. Understand where they’re coming from. Empathize. Instead of criticizing, help. Try to solve some problems. A little kindness goes a long way. And if…

A harmonious life is when we live peacefully with our fellow human beings. There are many ways to do it. But for now, let’s focus on these 3 practices: 1. Forgiveness When we forgive those who have wronged us, we let go of the grudge inside us. That’s a liberating feeling. There’s no point resenting…

Everyone competes to be the best and be on top. No wonder there are many less fortunate humans who are left behind. Can we still make the world a better place with this kind of mindset? Nothing’s evil with competitions. But we should not forget to help our fellow human beings, especially those in poverty….

Your brothers and sisters were part of your wonderful childhood memories. They were there listening to your dramas. Although sometimes you fight like cats and dogs, their love is unmatchable. They protect you as much as they can. They care for you and love you no matter what. But just like the other realities of…

You may have all the world’s money, the biggest house, the nicest car, the most expensive properties, and so on… but at the end of the day, those things don’t really matter. Life isn’t about the material possessions or any achievements you have. It’s about people. The people you care for. The people you enjoy…

Thanks to the healthcare workers who keep showing up to do their jobs despite the risk — so much risk. But they’re doing it because they care. Thanks to the government workers who are doing their best to deal with society’s concerns and figure out what’s best for their people. And thanks to the brave…

Every time we are angry with someone, that’s the best time to ask ourselves, “What is with him or her that makes me angry?” Because often, what triggers our anger is the one thing we hate about ourselves. If we are angry with those who are dishonest, then it’s probably we hate how dishonest we…

That’s the golden rule. It’s very simple, yet most of us failed to do. And even if we’ve read and heard this cliché a hundred of times, it’s likely that we forget it at some point. It is, however, a choice to always remind ourselves about the importance of not hurting people. Write it down…

Why do some people desire to become millionaires? Why do some people hate the government? And why do some people enjoy a bizarre type of art? People see or understand things differently. Our upbringing, culture, family — and a lot of factors — influence the way we view life in general. The challenge isn’t about…

It’s our responsibility to maintain peace wherever we are. And one way to do it is to be mindful with our words and deeds. Because most of the time, we are careless we end up ruining someone’s life. This is not to say that we should be loving or caring to everyone. We can’t force…

I was walking in the park when I saw a well-dressed guy threw an empty bottle on the pathway. He continued walking as if nothing happened. I was stunned. Most people think that there are two kinds of stuff: Theirs and Not theirs.  For that guy, he thinks that the park isn’t his, so it’s…

1. Practice Empathy Is your coworker experiencing family problems? Maybe they need someone to talk to. Open up. Understand their stories. Then brainstorm solutions. 2. Provide Value  Lessons are everywhere. Share some (life) lessons you’ve learned with your coworkers. Even one coworker will do. Then discuss the lessons with them. 3. Offer your Expertise If…

There are laws intended to punish people who committed crimes. These laws have their own place of course. The question is, “Are these laws really protecting humans?” Justice is when the lawmakers decide to punish a criminal. But for some reasons, our government has become convoluted, they can’t prosecute even the most obvious criminal act….

Most of the time, we feel afraid connecting with our fellow human beings. We think that it’s not just right to build relationships with people we don’t know. To a certain degree, that’s right. I get it. But sometimes, this vigilance leads us into isolation and cynicism. And sometimes it’s irrational. As a result, we…

This is my daily reminder: If I want to make the world a better place, then I must first work on improving myself. This means reading books or blogs. This means finding different point of views. This means studying my heroes — extraordinary people who did extraordinary things. This means learning and applying the lessons…

To say that we are humiliated and we need to fight back is shortsighted. Just because we were hurt doesn’t mean we need to revenge. Of course it’s normal that we loathe the people who wronged us. But one thing is for sure, if we seek vengeance nothing will be changed — we were still…

We are all social beings. We deeply need to feel connected with others. We deeply need a sense of belonging. And the best way to do this is build genuine friendships. Being surrounded with genuine friends makes life more fun and better in many ways. We can learn from them. We can explore life with…
