<p>As we all know, help is one of the most difficult things to get in the present day and age. All too often, people get stuck because they feel they do not know how to ask for help in their workplace.  Inevitably, if you want to succeed in your career you will need the help of others. Getting help may have less to do with your authority and formal position.  It is more to do with your strategy and approach, which can range from a simple favor to convincing others to accept a priority of yours as if it were their own. Read on to discover some of the most amazing facts on how to get anyone to help you.</p>
<p>To enlist the help of others, you need to ask for help. Most people are more than willing to give you a hand provided you must ask for their help at the very first place.  However, you must define what needs to be done before asking for help. The more you can identify specifically the help you need and the tasks to be done, the better. Remember, fuzzy goals lead to fuzzy results. By defining all the tasks required, you increase the likelihood of success.  So, swallow your pride, and just ask!</p>
<p><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/borneomonkey/SOl1OZTA4EI/AAAAAAAADbY/uMizDX0y-fI/s800/HelpingHands.jpg" alt="Helping Hands" /></p>
<p>When you make a general request for volunteers perhaps during a meeting, never ever make it sounds like &#8220;Whoever doesn&#8217;t have much of anything to do can work on this.&#8221; Your chances of getting someone to volunteer thus tend to be slim. However, if you think about who might best be able to help with a task and then specifically ask that person for help, your odds of getting him or her to accept the task increase dramatically. For instance, &#8220;Max, I&#8217;m putting together a team to design a new product.  Your expertise in marketing analysis for sure can help us to make the right decision.  Can we count on you to join us?&#8221;</p>
<p>The important thing to remember is to always say Thank You for their assistance. Thank and acknowledge others for their help.  You may send a personal note of thanks or perhaps a nice personal e-mail thank you is certainly a great choice in this information age. The person will feel that his or her time and energy were appreciated. In addition, you will likely be able to call on the person again in the future for assistance. People are glad to help those who appreciate their efforts.</p>
<p>Think about what your life would be like if nobody helps you at certain stage of your life when you need them?  Your achievement will be limited if you limit yourself to only the things you can do without help from others.  So, if you have a good idea in an area where you lack the necessary skills, knowledge or experiences, think it through and show others how they can help achieve the desired result.  Ask, and you shall receive, the help you need to make your life a success!</p>

<p>Yes, love is everywhere.  Love is in me and you too.  But yet we still ask what love is.  And at the same time we might not know how to love!  Everyone wants to love and be loved in life.  Call it addiction to love or whatever; love is a feeling that cannot be described in words. It has to be felt.  Scientifically it is difficult to tell the causes of love. Love has depth. It cannot be defined due to its limitless nature, yet it is in how we define it, that gives our life meaning.  Read on to find out some killer strategies on how to make others love you.</p>
<p>One of the most important things we as humans need to learn is self-love. If we do not love ourselves, it is impossible for others to love us or for us to love anyone else.  If you want others to love you, you must love yourself.  If you willing to love yourself you will love others and others will love you too.  It is as simple as that.  The reverse is also true if you go through life hating yourself you can end up hating others and if you go through life hating others then others hate you too.</p>
<p>Trust is one of the important aspects in love. If you love someone and you want the love of that person in return, all you have to do is to trust that person. As a matter of fact, trust makes a strong bond between any relationships. The relationship could be very fragile and never last long if you keep thinking of “Can I trust him, how can I be sure he will never betray me.”  So, trust a person and expect trust from that person.</p>
<p><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/borneomonkey/SJwFCJT48SI/AAAAAAAAC0c/5fppZ3EXZzk/s800/PinkyLove.jpg" alt="Love" /></p>
<p>When you are concerned about other people they will automatically start being concerned about you. You see once you start caring about people you would automatically start receiving love and support from them.  If someone needs your help, learn to offer a helping hand selflessly without any incentives.  You see its common human nature that when you help someone they tend to remember and help you one day.  Care, concern and help others are something which will make people love you.</p>
<p>Some people are self centered and always think about themselves.  These kinds of people are hated the most by everyone.  Remember true love is self-less. So, stop using the word me and start to listen to others.  Show your respect and attention to them rather than you own.  Appreciate the achievement of others even it is just a small one.  Your appreciation will make others feel worthy and important.  When you make someone feel worthy they automatically give you one of the most incredible gifts you can imagine which are love.</p>
<p><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/borneomonkey/SJwFCcoemmI/AAAAAAAAC0k/2IzaxGNIb-I/s800/LoveLove.jpg" alt="Love" /></p>
<p>We need love from the moment we are born to thrive. We might survive but we do not thrive without abundant love.  Everybody needs love because it is the simple answer to almost any question.  Love is not outside us, though we can block our awareness of it. Love remains the truth of our being, regardless of our relentless attempts to let fear stand in its way. Love patiently calls to us from within, to get out of the way and let it be our guide.  Show your love to others, they will definitely shower you with love from all corners.</p>

<p>A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give.  It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.  None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it.  Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.  If some people are too tired to give you a smile, I will give you  one of mine.  Time for you to start smiling.  You&#8217;re gorgeous with your smile.  Trust me, I&#8217;ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/borneomonkey/Miscellaneous/photo#5093566890159764626"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/borneomonkey/Rq_8GYep9JI/AAAAAAAAAdU/s40dJZYI6ko/s288/love.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Working together with someone that you don’t like makes you feel sick.  But you can’t take that excuse to ‘sick’ and hate forever.  No matter how, try to understand him/her, take care of him/her, you shall even learn to love him/her, this is a challenge!</p>
<p>If you need to take up a job that far beyond your expectation, try to get used to it and love it.  You may learn something new from it, and even enjoy the learning process, that’s the challenge too!</p>
<p>While you have to stay in unpleasant working environment, try to handle it with passion and love. Please not to get influenced by the low esteem, try to motivate yourself, take control of it, and even change the environment (revolution?).  It’s another big challenge indeed!</p>
<p>Believe me, to love is not that easy, not to mention you have to love someone and something that you don’t like!  But, love is beautiful!  I remember the great said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Love is patient, love is kind.<br />
It does not envy.<br />
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;<br />
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.<br />
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.<br />
It does not delight in evil,<br />
But rejoices in the truth.<br />
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.<br />
There is nothing love cannot face;<br />
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.<br />
In a word, there are three things that last forever:<br />
Faith, hope, and love;<br />
But the greatest of them all is love.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Time to stop asking who loves you! Share your love and everybody will love you too.  Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions. Always remember, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends.  Love makes the world a better place! <img src='http://monkeywong.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lau Ta Fu is my friend.  I know him for several years but yet I don’t really understand him.  He used to be a very nice guy.  He virtually owns everything he wants, bright career, big house, luxury cars, dream vacations,  lovely wife and daughters ……..  But, he always looks like in a state of suffering, depression, grief, anxiety, and pain!  He keeps on complaining about his wife, not satisfies with his car, wants more authority, envious of others……..   He’s looking for true happiness.  Therefore, he trades his soul to the devil, walks in the counsel of the wicked, stands in the way of sinners and sits in the seat of mockers!  I feel like I don’t know him anymore.</p>
<p>One day, he came to me.</p>
<p><strong> Fu:</strong> I have everything that you don’t have, but why you look happier than me?</p>
<p>I answered him indirectly.</p>
<p><strong> MW:</strong> If I exchange my happiness with all you have?  Do you accept?</p>
<p><strong>Fu:</strong> Hmmm…No, I don’t!</p>
<p>I replied with a smile on my face.</p>
<p><strong> MW:</strong> That’s why you’re not happy!</p>
<p>Finding true happiness is a very personal journey.  For me, I appreciate what I have even there are not as good as others. I know happiness is depends upon ourselves, it is born from the internal workings of our own minds.   Abraham Lincoln said, “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”   I’m happy! What about you?</p>
