11 Rules To Change Our World
1. You be the change you dream of seeing (Thanks Mahatma Gandhi). “If everyone of us would sweep their own doorstep, the whole world would be clean,” observed Mother Teresa. She was right.
2. Make time every day to reconnect to your highest ideals and boldest dreams. Without hope, people perish.
3. Leave every person you meet better than you found them. Life’s too short to withhold encouragement and kindness.
4. As I wrote in ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”, see every setback as a stepping stone and every problem as a blessing in disguise. Contrary to what critics might say, these are NOT corny aphorisms. They are timeless truths of humanity. (And critics are just people too scared to grow their dreams anyway – pay no attention to them. The world needs more people lifting people up rather than putting people down).
5. Go the extra mile in everything you do – you don’t need a title to be a leader. And on your deathbed, you’ll never regret expressing the best within you
6. Do what’s right rather than what’s easy. Being a great person isn’t a popularity contest. Many of the greatest leaders were disliked because they refused to bend to the winds of public opinion. That’s called Strength of Character
7. Care for your health. You elevate the world by elevating yourself and your health really matters. Why be the richest person in the graveyard?
8. Tell your kids they are geniuses – and how much you adore them. Each of us are born geniuses but lose that gift within the first 6 years of our lives as we adopt the fears and limiting beliefs of those around us. Your kids are the leaders of the future. Grow their potential. Now.
9. Learn something new every day. As you grow, you begin to see possibilities you didn’t have the eyes to see before. Read from an inspiring book, listen to an audio program, visit a good blog, go to a powerful workshop or have a conversation with an elder. One idea is all it takes to transform your life.
10. Keep your life simple. Please. The secret to success and happiness is building your life around a few important things. The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. As I recently mentioned on my blog, “What’s the point in being busy doing the wrong things?”
11. Remember that life is a mirror and we receive what we give out. To get more joy, give more joy. To have more respect, give more respect. To realize your dreams, help others realize theirs.
Hope you enjoyed it ! Share it with your friends.
Dokkodo

Quoting words of wisdom from “Dokkodo”, an ancient Japanese warrior tradition. It applies to the warrior inside each of us ! May this be an inspiration to you as well.
Accept everything just the way it is.
Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
Be detached from desire your whole life long.
Do not regret what you have done.
Never be jealous.
Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.
Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
In all things have no preferences.
Be indifferent to where you live.
Do not pursue the taste of good food.
Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
Do not act following customary beliefs.
Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
Do not fear death.
Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help.
You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour.
Never stray from the Way.
current state of Nepal
June 23rd, 2010
When
Nepalis who have the ability to create jobs, are afraid to invest time, effort into it,
Nepalis who have wealth, want to hide it,
Nepalis who have ideas, want to keep it to themselves either out of fear or lack of enthusiasm or sucked dry by the environment around them,
Nepalis who want to improve but cannot because the only ways to improve comes at the cost of taking some one else’s territory (or rights, or wealth or space or dignity)
then, wouldn’t you want to change this ?
Would you like to change this or are you waiting for the day, “when people who have common sense, are forced to hide their “common sense” out of fear that they are branded “anti-Nepali”.”
Whats your plan?
