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…

A drug addict robbed a grocery store. A husband battered his wife. A mother abandoned her newly born baby. A terrorist bombed the city. The corrupt politician. The lazy employee. The abusive employer. The irresponsible father. The dishonest salesman. The scammer. The prostitute. The alcoholic neighbor. The murderer. The rapist. We hear stories about them…

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…

Call a family member or friend or coworker and help solve one of their problems (whatever problem they have). Gift a healthy food to a random stranger. Find someone lonely? Talk to them. Listen. Empathize. Share what you know about a certain topic. Don’t insist you’re right. Just share it. People may find it useful….

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…

“Empathy fuels connection” said by Dr. Brené Brown in her 2013 RSA talk, The Power of Vulnerability. There is something magical with empathy. When we empathize, we don’t just feel sorry for the person — it’s more than that. Instead, we put ourselves in their position. When we empathize, we take their perspectives and connect on a…

You are not living alone. There are many people out there, living their lives the best way possible. Our job as human beings is to promote goodness and positivity in everything we do. I know that sometimes it’s hard, life is unpredictable and we don’t have complete control over the outcomes. But as long as…

People fight each other because of: Beliefs, Opinions, Religions Sports, Politics, Information Oil, Gold, Food Territories, Properties, Privileges MONEY Jobs, Businesses, Products Status, Audience, Customers Romantic partners Material possessions There are perhaps more than these. But seriously, what are we fighting for? We are all human beings living on this beautiful planet. We are all imperfect human…

If your life situation is better than the people around you and you are practicing different ways to improve your life — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — you are more capable to help people. Ask yourself in what way you can help. This doesn’t mean that you spoonfeed them, but rather, teach them things you…

1. Good things are happening every day. When we watch the news, we see how bad people are and how terrible the planet has become. It’s depressing. It makes us want to give up the hope of having a better life. To stop this negativity, realize that there are still good things happening every day….

1. Understand their worldviews. Often, negative people became toxic due to their worldviews. A poor guy may think it’s impossible to achieve his dream — whatever that dream is. I don’t have the money. I don’t have the ability. I’m poor.  And not just their worldviews, because negativity stems from bad experiences and low self-esteem….

Some people spend huge money on material things as a gift for their loved ones. Nothing’s wrong with that, especially if you have the money and you earned it the right way. To substitute love with shiny objects, however, is a fool’s game. Nothing can replace genuine love. Love is an act. Not a token….

Compassion may not solve all the world problems, but it can improve our planet. If majority of entrepreneurs practice compassion every day, then our planet gets better and better. If majority of employees practice compassion every day, then our work environments get better and better. If majority of students practice compassion every day, then schools…

The weird thing about love is that words aren’t enough to describe it. It’s a mysterious feeling we all share. Unexplainable. Unpredictable. And it comes in many forms. I’m not a love expert, but I’m always fascinated by love’s indescribable power — we hear it all the time. Here, I’ve gathered a few love quotes….

Earth is the home for all living things. And humans, as the most intelligent species ought to take care of everything. It’s our responsibility. If we take care of our planet, we take care of all humankind. Dr. Dave Vaughan discovered a way to grow corals so he can plant it back out on the…
