"Buckminster Fuller, recognised as one of this century's most creative minds, wrote the LAW OF PRECESSION as a part of the goal-setting process. PRECESSION is the principle which always ensures that we gain many things in addition to the actual goal itself. In fact, the most important thing is not reaching the goal itself but what we learn and how much we grow along the way." Being Happy, page 83-84.
Andrew is very wise to share this and i'm grateful for this. Yes, the journey is more important than the end goal. But setting the goal is still as important. In fact, it is vital that we do so and to set off the journey as soon as possible before the procrastinate & scared thoughts conquer your mind!
"If you decide that you are going to walk across Europe or.. start a business.., the important thing is not the walk or the business, but what kind of person you need to become in order to achieve your end." page 84.
Mmm.. tis concept is new to me.. never occur to me before.. ;-)

Power of the subconscious mind
"Thoughts are invisible clouds that go out and gather up results for us. They determine what we reap." Being Happy, page 55.
Dont underestimate our subconscious mind. It's extremely powerful if we know how to use it wisely. I remembered i read somewhere about a technique that uses the subconscious mind to do work.. The method: first, know the issue on hand. Then do research on the subject matter. Learn as much as u can. Then put it aside & attend to other matters. A few days later, come back to it. You will often realise that you have better understanding & grasp of the issue and make better decision. The only cons is that it requires time. So plan yr time properly to use this method effectively.

Power of words and language
"Many frustrated parents could ease their situations by using language which paints pictures of the desired result in their children's mind. Then 'Dont scream!' becomes 'Please be quiet' and 'Dont spill the spaghetti on your best shirt' becomes 'Be careful when you eat.' These differences may seem subtle but they are very very important." Being Happy, page 57.
Being victim and probably the predator myself, i recognise the power of words or language. We may think nothing of it but it does have tremendous effect on the person you spill on words on.. One thing i learned from Anthony Robbins is that he emphasis on the use of positive words. Like if you wanted to say 'i'm angry'. Try saying 'I'm not happy.' Change the keyword or noun to something positive. This little change in behavior or pattern will have great downstream impact to your life and others around you. Try it! ;-)

Adapted from Delicious Ice Cream, Parragon BooksIngredients:
150ml water
200g caster sugar
450g punnet strawberries
300ml pure thick cream
Method:
1. Dissolve sugar in water, then heat until boiling, stirring at all time. Allow it to simmer for about 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Watch it carefully, it should become syrupy but not change colour. Remove pot from heat & allow syrup to cool completely.
2. Once syrup has cooled, stir in the cream.
3. Puree the strawberries in blender, then mix together with syrup & cream mixture and refrigerate until cold - at least one hour.
4. If using an ice-cream machine, place the frozen bowl on the machine and turn it on. Then pour the cooled mixture into the machine. Churn it accordingly to the manufacturer's instructions. (20 to 25 mins).
5. If making it without machine, pour the chilled mixture into a freeze-proof container and freeze for an hour. Remove from the freezer, beat the mixture with a fork or whisk for 5 mins. Return it to the freezer for another hour. Repeat the beating with fork one more time, then allow it to freeze until firm.

GreenDay - Wake Me Up When September Ends
LYRICS:
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my fathers come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends
