Hi Gang,
This month is going to be a little different, I've been doing a bit of reading and on one of my favourite topic, psychology... and most people have seen the below diagram and its quite self explainatory.
Below is an interest talk by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyl and I think its worth while watching if you have about 18mintues. He talks about creativity, fulfillment and flow... He mentiones that when you are in flow it feels like you are not doing 'work', but more that you are standing aside watching the work pass.
The 7 things he mentions that needs to happen for you to be in flow are:
- Focus - completely involved in what we are doing
- Sense of ecstasy - of being outside everyday reality
- Great inner clarity - knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing
- Knowing the activity is doable - that our skills are adequate to the task
- Sense of serenity - no worries about ourself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego
- Timelessness - thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by in minutes
- Intrinsic motivation - whatever produces flow becomes its own reward
It's interesting, when I looked at the list above with the diagram and then compare it with the things that I spent my time doing... I wonder how often I'm in flow during my life and when in my life those 7 things has happened, along with where am I now and what can I do now to get myself more into flow.
Anyways, I hope this was something interesting for you and that you learnt a thing a too.
Until Next Time,
Yong-Long

Can you share some of your insider tips for effective networking?
Keep in touch - stay in contact with your network every 60 to 90 days in some way or another. You may want to drop someone a handwritten note, send an article of interest, extend an invitation to a function, send out a regular newsletter, meet for a coffee, facilitate an introduction or visit their business. Remembering special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Christmases, Chinese New Year's and job promotions are another great way to stay in touch.
Join a committee - becoming involved in a committee that you are genuinely interested in and are passionate about is a terrific way to meet new people. You may want to consider the arts, the environment, sport, politics or your favourite charity organisation.
Business awards - entering or being nominated for business awards can provide an introduction into the world of some of the country's most talented and successful businesspeople. There are many ways in which people can stay connected with one another; it just requires time, commitment and effort in doing so.
Find an expert - the godmother of networking in Australia is, without doubt, the wonderful Robyn Henderson. I encourage those with little experience in networking to visit her website, www.networkingtowin.com.au, where you can learn from the master, order her books, download e-books and valuable articles, attend Robyn's seminars or sign up for her regular e-zine.
