Quote of The Week

"In one's life, they're going to face challenges. No matter what level we are working at, we will experience challenges. That is the good news! Some people will use those challenges as excuses to not push through their comfort zone and growing pains and they will quit... and they might have been just one person, one presentation away from success and they will never know it. But you can choose to see that challenge and embrace it. See it as your good fortune that it discouraged others with less perseverance and positive attitude and left you the opportunity to seize the moment. Sure, there will be people who are going to give 50 reasons why it'll never work and so forth. And my encouragement would be that, when that happens, you need to say, 'This is exactly why so many people don't succeed in this business.' And recognize in that, 'I'm going to push through this challenge. I'm going to find answers to whatever the challenge of the day is. And find myself on a higher, more successful ground as a result.' You win! You only lose if you quit."

Quote of The Week

Part of business is adversity. Everyone who tries to do a hard thing is going to run into challenges. The wise man has a philosophy that has been very helpful to me. He views business as problem solving. If there were no problems to making money or to building an organization or whatever, then everybody would be doing it. And there would be no opportunity there because everybody would already occupy that space. In order for an opportunity to be real, in order for a business to be real, there have to be obstacles to success in place that keep other people from getting there. So those who climb the mountain and who actually achieve the success aren't people who just accidentally discovered some obstacle-free course to success! They didn't just land on the top of the mountain. They climbed. They probably had some falters and stumbles but always got back up and kept moving forward, upward, regardless of the challenges. It's rather, people who faced obstacle after obstacle and then worked through them who taste the joy of success.

My Weight Management Program after 1 month

And i have trimmed off 3cm from my waist and 2cm off my hip. :)

A month ago, these're my measurements

Not much differences i know, but i'm actually consuming more food than before i started the program. The program encourages us to eat the right amount of nutrition and never ever let ourselves starve. That's the principle. Never ever skip meals!!

Antioxidants Control AGE

Do you know?

Antioxidants can prevent important age accelerator - the formation of AGE (Advanced Glycation End Products), which are created by a process called glycation that damages Protein. Glycation occurs when glucose reacts with proteins resulting the cross-linking of protein as well as the formation of Free Radicals. A huge number of these proteins can lead to outer sign of premature aging, such as wrinkles and brown spots on the skin, and can cause even more destruction inside the body. Heart disease, cataracts, arthritis and even Alzheimer's disease have been associated with the cross-linking of proteins. The universal antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid as well as other antioxidants can control the formation of AGE
