I was getting my nails done yesterday and got into a discussion on life and living with Renee, who does my nails. This is no unusual situation as Renee and I often wax philosophical during our once a month nail time together. But for some reason our discussion struck a self-reflective chord yesterday.

I want to respond to a recurrent question that has been asked of me. It came up again just recently and I realized that I needed to listen, review and respond!

"They are all working on projects that they initiated." "So the next step is clear, Syrus." "Not to me," Syrus countered. "It's time [...]

  Look around you and begin to notice all the big and little things that people do for you, the organization, the department and the family. It's acknowledgment for little things that count. Remember that… What gets acknowledged, gets repeated.  Ask yourself each day, "Who are the people in my personal and professional life that [...]

I am humbly reminded one more time of what it takes to make a new habit! You have to… REMEMBER TO REMEMBER TO DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO! Instead, I forgot to remember to do what I said I would do and I was just reminded by Traci Toguchi's post on [...]

Syrus was not smiling when I returned for my third visit. Far from it. His brow was furrowed and and there was agitation written in his eyes. We exchanged the good morning niceties and then, unable to hold it back any longer, Syrus launched into a tirade. Phrases periodically fell into place as his words [...]

I thought that I would ask a powerful positive question with every blog entry that I do from now on. This new addition was inspired by Traci Toguchi, Miss Hawaii 1995. Traci just joined our Planetary Briefing Room (http://simrooms.ning.com/) and I went to her website to check her out and say Aloha and welcome. You [...]
