"You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert." (Denis Waitley)
Thinking like an expert will make us think that we have already master the expertise.
The bad side of thinking like an expert is making us stop continuing to learn more. We will stop our effort to gain more expertise. And it will put us into "no-growth" zone. Because we don't learn new knowledge.
Slow but sure, we will loose our expertise. And not for long, we will become someone not expert.

INNOVATE FASTER OR BETTER?
The other week I met with the leader of a new growth business for a large Asian company. The meeting was miles away from the corporate headquarters. The leader proudly showed me around her office, pointing out how the open, energetic feel compared to the closed-door, corporate nature of headquarters. The young staff certainly seemed to be enjoying itself in the lounge that was well-stocked with booze and snacks."So, what does your corporate parent give you?" I asked.
"Absolutely nothing," the leader replied without some degree of pride. "Except funding, of course. Otherwise, they completely leave me alone."
7 MYTHS ABOUT OBESITY

That wasn’t an outrageous opinion. Once dominant, the BlackBerry has slipped to a single-digit percentage of the smartphone market.

NON-JOY THAT MAKE US BETTER
"We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joys in the world." (Helen Keller)
We learn to be brave because there is fear in the world. And because of difficulties, we learn to be patient.
Without the existence of fear and difficulties, we will never know the meaning of bravery, courageous, vigilance, patience, endurance, and persistence.
Something hard and difficult will become a challenge for us to be conquered. And every challenge that we win, will turn us into someone better. Sent from Global Communication Services, USA

Consumed by the world and all that it is
The obligations attached to being successful and popular
What would I do?
YOU CAN SURVIVE, YOU HAVE IT WITHIN YOU
When the ocean empties and the land turns blue,When my path is blocked and I can't make it through,
When the stars fall down one by one and it rains snow,
When my car breaks down and I can't find a tow,
I will still stand on my own feet proud and tall,
I will get back up on my feet after the hardest fall,
I will find my way home through the foggiest dim path,
I will always have the strength for a smile and a good laugh.

SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF DECISION
Since we are talking about our life and our future, inevitably and ultimately we have to make certain decisions. Decisions are about making the right choices (Nobody wants to make the wrong choices anyway). No matter how hard pressed we are, we have to know that we have choices.

And the idea of so-called ‘personalized smart guns’ has been kicked around for years but has been slowed by intense suspicion, doubts about feasibility, and pressure tactics.
Now proponents of so-called personalized or smart guns are hoping the nation's renewed attention on firearms following the Newtown school massacre will kick start research and sale of safer weapons.
But despite the Obama administration's promise to 'encourage the development of innovative gun safety technology,' advocates have good reason to be wary.

He heard a speech by an Assistant Secretary for Health Education and Welfare, where the official said that the greatest untapped resource in health care was the patient. In that instant, Kemper saw that individuals could (and should) take control of their own health choices, rather than relinquishing those decisions to professionals. That idea became the cornerstone of his organization's mission—helping people make better health decisions.

8 STEPS TO BECOMING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL YOU
We live in a world of puzzling, often mind blowing opposites. At the same time that we are in the midst of an obesity “epidemic,” we are also surrounded—often relentlessly so—by images of thin, airbrushed perfection in movies, magazines, and television. Actresses and public figures who fail to fit into the thin ideal are criticized and bullied in cruel but unfortunately not unusual ways. Many of the rest of us criticize and bully ourselves when we look at our own reflections in the mirror. Billions of dollars a year are mobilized to help each of us achieve the “perfect” body—continually moving us toward a goal that seems to have no finish line.COUNTING YOUR MUSIC CALORIES
It is more difficult than it seems, unless we are at home where we can more or less control the sounds we're exposed to. Out in public music occurs on somebody else’s terms. The music that accompanies our daily lives provides a soundtrack to either eating, shopping or waiting. It’s a rare restaurant or shop that doesn’t routinely use music to accompany their customer’s experience. Even as I write these words (in a public space) Dolly Parton is unironically singing about her dead-end job.
