Just Do It -The Right Attitude

Hey Planet,

JUST DO IT!

I love this line from Nike...Although these are just three
simple words, they are really powerful.

Many times, we get caught up in the process of analyzing
just a bit too much. We spend days, weeks and sometimes
even months before we decide whether a project is good for us
or not.

And most of the time, after spending so much time we end up
not doing anything at all! What a waste of time and energy!

Don't get into what we call "Paralysis due to Analysis!"
It will not get you anywhere.

By all means, you should do a thorough research before starting
something. But do the research fast, and get going. Do not
spend a lifetime thinking about something.

Don't try to learn everything about a project before starting.
You just cannot.

Can you learn swimming without getting in the water ? No!
Can you learn to ride a bicycle without getting on it? No!

Just start! And you will learn along the way.

Just Do It!!

Remember, success is just a decision away!

Dreams Come True - Only with Determination


Hey Planet,

This is the stuff of movies: a young man, in the face of personal and professional challenges, struggles against the odds and finally achieves his dreams.

Naozumi "Nao" Tsuchiyama, a 26-year-old Japanese language instructor whose right leg was amputated as a child and now wears a prosthetic, had always wanted to become a boxer.

To do so, he needed a boxing license but was denied this in his home country on account of his physical condition. So, he went abroad but even then it wasn't easy for him.
The first time he applied for a boxing license from the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) in the Philippines, he was rejected because his condition was deemed not fit for boxing. Medical examinations showed otherwise, but the GAB would not budge.

Last August, he took part in a trial fight in the Philippines where he impressed the GAB officials in attendance. Despite a favorable recommendation from these representatives who were impressed with his performance, the GAB still rejected his application.

Undeterred, Nao persisted and flew to South Korea to take part in the World Boxing Association's annual conference. He returned to the Philippines with the assurance that there is no international policy preventing him from fighting professionally. This time around, the GAB relented and gave him his license.
Nao will be fighting his third match in the Philippines on Aug 9. JobStreet.com is proud to support Nao's endeavor.

I hope his tale will inspire everyone to pursue their dreams. If there's a will, there's always a way.

Top 10 Inspiring Movies - 300

Hey Planet,

Managed to catch a DVD on "300" - fiction that is based on a true story, but has a twist to it. Drawn from the vivid pages of Frank Miller and Lynn Valery's graphic novel, 300 is the epic story of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 B.C.) where 300 Spartan warriors fought invading armies from Persia against all odds of survival. Stylized, gritty, and graphic, 300 impeccably re-creates imagery from the book while offering incredible intensity in the live-action format

I was totally glued to the TV screen for the whole 2hr show. Whole show was full of high-tempo movements, fights and mind-games.

Truly a movie worth mentioning - It has PASSION, LOVE and DETERMINATION all written over it. Check out the video clip below:
