Text of the page (random words):
n he compared the last 100 years history he highlighted that in going to stock market the return in certain period during 1966 1976 for example is very dismal one have to pick the right company he cited the railroad radio and car industry as an example when lots of company had gone under he also commented about the previous us governor alan greenspan on his act for long term capital management and reducing interest rate during the 2001 02 that may cause housing bubble true enough in america the headlines of subprime mortgage had come up frequently over the past few months all in all the title is easy to understand and fun to listen i would give a 7 5 out of 10 the title is a little bit dated published in 2004 it would be very relevant if it was read by 2004 5 to understand about globalization posted by victor ay at 9 00 am no comments labels adventure capitalist around the world audiobook commodities jim rogers mercedes benz review friday august 8 2008 getting things done david allen hi i have been procrastinating in writing blog lately especially it s been a while since my last post i sincerely apologized about this considering the number of events unfolding in my life at this moment i hope you all can forgive me and wait a little bit longer for me in releasing those review i would say this book is the book for the art of time management perhaps you may heard about stephen covey s book titled first things first and many other time management title the book highlights the importance of urgent and important as we all know things is not as black and white in most case it can be gray at times and therefore i think the way david allen handled it is much better here are some of the important contents managing commitment 1 it s in your mind anything you can t finished must be captured in a system outside your mind you need to regularly search and sort through 2 clarify your commitment and decide what to do make progress towards fulfilling it 3 once you ve decided on all the actions you need to take you must keep reminders of them organized in a system you review regularly key to managing stuff is managing your actions getting it out of your head whenever possible do not use your mind as the place to store your things to do list commitment instead commit to a system that you can rely 100 upon that way you can freed up your mind to do more creative productive thing 5 stages of mastering workflow 1 collect 2 process 3 organize 4 review do that once a week preferably before start of the week 5 do important thing is to make sure everything are collected processed action and reviewed regularly next action any longer than 2 minute nondelegatable action you have identified and to be tracked to tracked that you put it in the next action na if you have a lots of na it s best to list that in categories like call shopping etc 6 level model for reviewing your own work in order to know your priorities are you have 6 different perspective what define that 50 000 feet life big picture view the primary purpose for anything provides the core definition of what it s work really is all the goals visions objectives projects and actions derive from this 40 000 feet 3 5 year vision think about bigger categories i e long term career family and financial goals decisions at this altitude could easily change what your work might look like on many levels 30 000 feet 1 2 year goals stage where meeting the goals and objective of your job require a shift in emphasis of your job focus with new areas of responsibility emerging 20 000 feet areas of responsibility these are the key areas within which you want to achieve results and maintain standards 10 000 feet current projects relatively short term outcomes you want to achieve runway current actions list of all your action you take common categories of action reminders in defining on next action categories there s few that we are usually 1 calls 2 computer 3 errand 4 office reminder for office action i e photostating claims 5 home 6 agenda people meet up or meeting action item 7 review document read up or research organizing via e mail systems 1 have folder that starts with or for action waiting for pending etc 2 have e mail you ve sent out to be copied to certain folder for follow up 3 getting your inbox empty tickler file the tickler file is a file folder consists of 43 sub folder 1 31 and jan dec it s a 3d version of a calendar by having this you can automatically remind yourself by putting the item to specific future month or the day within the month and able to track your stuff say for example you have a bill to be paid at 15th this month and the current day is 8th then when 15th arrived you can look at that 15th folder and know that you have bill to be paid weekly review 1 it s an activity to empty your head every week 2 you make a few hours of block time to review all those next actions waiting for someday maybe projects etc mind like water in time management once you mastered this you can react to anything that throw at you and respond accordingly you ve mastered the art of time management just like the water respond to a pebble thrown to it in essence david is a big proponent of 2 minute rule if you can finish a task within that limit by all means complete that if not delegate defer or drop it for those who know about getting things done it was called as gtd there s a lot of fan out there supporting the gtd movement namely yahoo groups even david himself have a portal on the gtd information where he regularly releases audio short notes etc on personal productivity all in all i would give 8 5 out of 10 for this book the book gives a good overview on time management it s a concept that s workable and useful to all executive out there i recommend this to everyone who think that time is not enough and you seems to be busy all the time posted by victor ay at 8 08 am no comments labels book david allen getting things done gtd review wednesday july 30 2008 being happy andrew matthews hi it s another round of book review of a classic self help handbook the book is called being happy can anyone wondered why doesn t called it be happy perhaps the book is about action and not just theory i guess so the book was the international bestseller first introduced in 1988 the version that i ve bought is the 57th reprint by the printer based on the number of reprints you know how bestselling the book be the book have 6 chapters with various topics in improving your confidence and security there were a lot of illustrations accompanying each topic drawn by the author on each topic there was a summary called nutshells for you to capture the gist of it some important nutshells patterns patterns be positive on yourself and condition self image think healthy happy thoughts decide to be healthy be gentle on yourself accept and love and acknowledge yourself about what you are the decision you ve done is the best available by yourself pain cause us to contemplate change direction we become a part of our everyday world consider seriously changing what surrounds you to be something you want to be prosperity money mindset that prevents us from becoming wealthy more of this can be found from millionaire s mindset title living in the now live now present moment is the only time you have live in the now waiting for things jump into every oppurtunity forgiveness blaming and feeling guilty are equally dangerous and destructive you may hiding something within yourself and not curing it happiness can be hard work you ve got to hang on to your treasures and throw out the garbage choose what you see and choose what you think dealing with depression disaster won t be disastrous if we tackle them one at a time humor life is not that serious let s take humor more seriously we gravitate in the direction of our dominant thoughts law of attraction before the secret your mind your subconscious daily we create programmes in subconscious mind use like what all successful and happy people people used if you want to be wealthy picture those success and prosperity of the ideal result imagination exercise your imagination just like your body to have a sharp witty mind mental rehearsal create pattern on brain cell for perfect performance imagine the best result you want make a habit of refining your abilities through imagination we get what we expect you re in control you decide what you think put in your mind and what you get back listen to those whose lives are working mind is like magnet continue to dwell on what you want and you ll achieve it seen this in most jack canfield book the power of words our words affect how we think and how we feel what we think affect what we say and how we feel and how we feel influences what we say and how we think it s a vicious cycle and learn to interrupt that an attitude of gratitude our attention is on what we want as we set our living grateful on what we have more good will be coming goals goals goals are the vehicles whereby we can become someone more than we already are limitations our limitations are our responsibilities problems it stretches us adversity reveals genius while prosperity conceals it mistakes mistakes are not really mistakes it s part of the learning process shame is never in having failed worse is when not even tried the law of sow and reap universe is fair and just we get back from life only what we put into it risk we have a choice it s between really living or merely existing life is a risk so let s get out and face it commitment to get whatever you want do whatever it takes effort embrace change unless you change how you are you ll always have what you ve got for things to get better we have to get better today will be much like yesterday unless we put in that effort losing hurts but it hurts even more when you realize that you haven t done your best persistence for every outstanding achievement persistence is a common ingredient ask getting what you want is having the conviction that you are worth it one of the best ways to develop your sense of worth is to ask reasons or results you have but one life to lead don t bring your reasons of not doing it to grave learning from nature children spend time with children learn more about laughter spontaneity curiosity acceptance resilience trust determination and your imagination they are there to teach us keep moving happiness and fulfillment in activity get involved use it or lose it law of use is wonderful it gives us incentive to practice unless we use it we may not be keeping it flow go with the flow take time off and relax release to create healthy flow learn to let go things you don t want won t use and don t need how much do we
