More From Dalai Lama

Are soft-hearted people handicapped in business? you have heard a businessman say of someone else, he's all right, but he's too soft-hearted.... to be soft-hearted may be handicapping, in a sense. but on the whole, a soft heart is to be preferred to a hard heart. hard-hearted, severe, dominating giants sometimes manage to get further and to amass more money. but they get less genuine joy out of life.... it is the hard-boiled employer, not the soft-hearted species, that incites most of our strikes and does most to endanger the harmonious progress of democracy.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Anyone who has ever made a resolution discovers that the strength of that determination fades in time. the moment you feel that is when you should make a fresh determination. tell yourself, “ok! i will start again from now!” if you fall down seven times, get up an eighth. don’t give up when you feel discouraged-jus t pick yourself up and renew your determination each time.
Determination Giving Up Fall
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. forget motivation. just do it. exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. do it without motivation. and then, guess what? after you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
Motivational Exercise Persistence
We like people who are honest. honest in argument, honest with clients, honest with suppliers, honest with the company - and above all, honest with consumers.
People Clients Honest
It's best to not confuse optimism with hope. optimism is a psychological attitude toward life. hope goes further. it is an anchor that one hurls toward the future, it's what lets you pull on the line and reach what you're aiming for and head in the right direction. hope is also theological: god is there, too.
