Amazing Entrepreneur Dinner

Posted on | January 20, 2009 | No Comments

I remember doing this several times last year and it was always a hit.

I look at all the people I know and some of the most enjoyable relationships I have are the ones that I have with fellow entrepreneurs. It tends to be a sort of hybrid relationship that I have with some of them whereby we mix both business and pleasure. We connect well on a professional level but we also go beyond the boardroom and connect on a very meaningful personal level. We’ve become friends. Our conversations go beyond business and delve into personal topics such as dating, politics, mutual interests, and more. Read more

Confrontation as a positive and not a negative.

Posted on | January 6, 2009 | 1 Comment

Most people I talk to say they don’t like confronting other people. They don’t like the negativity and possible arguments that can arise from it. I see.

But what else can you do? If it bothers us that much, then the only option is to confront the issue head on. I see confrontation as a positive. It allows me to air an issue out there. It allows me to hear and understand the other person’s side of it. Most communication issues simply lie in the misinterpretation of what is said or implied. Give people the benefit of the doubt that they are rational beings who sometimes can’t communicate effectively. Read more

Qualities To Look For In Her.

Posted on | December 28, 2008 | No Comments

A list of questions that I’ve gathered to always keep in the back of the mind. Should help guys from being broken-hearted and choosing the wrong woman (which we often do). Divorce rate wouldn’t be so high if we did a better job of choosing the right woman. I judge people based on their actions and not their words.

Is she a giver or taker?
Are her actions are in alignment with her words?
Challenging or difficult?
Flexible or hardheaded?
Easy going or high-maintenance.
Is she emotionally stable or moody?
Seeking to understand or seeking to be understood?

Dating: The Less You Know, The Better

Posted on | December 28, 2008 | No Comments

Deanism; “True power doesn’t lie in knowing. True power lies in knowing what to do with what you know.”

Nothing could be more true in the world of dating. The proliferation of media and how it represents love, sex, and dating today, contributes to what many us know about dating. Or so we think. But too much exposure to another episode of Sex and The City or Gossip Girl, can hinder what is already a difficult process. Yes folks, watching too much of this, or reading too much of that, or hearing too much of anything in relation to dating can hurt us. Read more

Love Makes The World Go Round

Posted on | December 22, 2008 | No Comments

Was watching the video below by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, entitled “I Need You”. You could just see the love b/w each other as they sang this song. You could see how love makes their world go round and round. I enjoy country music so I’ve followed their work for awhile and have always noticed how much love they have for each other. This inspired me to write a few verses below. Read more

A Poem of Abundance

Posted on | December 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

This morning, I’m excited to live and simply be.
I’m looking forward to all of today’s possibilities.
Today is a day that I will grow and go!
Abundance is comes into my life today because I make it so.

Today, people are attracted to me.
That’s all I need to attract wealth and prosperity.
Today, my actions will dictate all of this.
It is all I ever needed to live a life full of bliss.

Always The Underdog.

Posted on | December 16, 2008 | No Comments

For my entire life, I’ve always felt like the underdog. Always. Never was anything given to me so easily. Never the prettiest to look at. Never the tallest. Never the smartest. Never the most eloquent. Never the most sociable. Never the funniest. Never.

Because these were all once denied to me, I thought how much of a misfortune it was to be in such ‘lacking’. But I now realize how much of a gift to have lacked these initially. It forced me to try harder.

That is why I have to try harder than most now. That is why I think more than most. That is why I plan more deliberately than most.

This is a great gift. Thank you God.

Poem: Savor You

Posted on | November 11, 2008 | No Comments

This is a poem I just wrote and finished. This goes out to anyone who relished and savored every moment with that person and that night.

——————————-

Let me savor every moment that I’m with you.
Let me define the following reality that I know to be true;

I savor every peck and every kiss,
For this is how it feels to be in eternal bliss.

I savor how you look me over with your piercing glance,
For I know it was more than mere happenstance.

I savor every time that I make you laugh,
For tonight, it just feels like you’re my other half.

I savor every time that you lend me your smile,
For I know it confirms what was previously in such denial.

I savor every time you touch and hold me,
For I know without it, I couldn’t exist much less be.

So let me savor your touch while I hold your hand,
Because we may be here tomorrow, or not again.

People Are Just People. And That Goes For Pretty Women Too.

Posted on | October 26, 2008 | No Comments

I was thinking about this guy friend of mine. Nice guy. He’s educated, makes good money, has a sense of humor, and pretty well rounded.

I had this conversation with him about girls and he seems paralyzed by his own fears when it comes to women. There are women he knows that he would like to ask out but he gets so nervous and intimated by them and their beauty. I’ve seen these girls and they aren’t too bad. He has good tastes.

I was once him a long time ago. I think many guys were or are. We’d get nervous, couldn’t speak much less carry a conversation even if we had a date, and the concept of rejection by a pretty girl was just too much. Read more

The Lack of Courtesy and Respect That One Person Shows.

Posted on | October 22, 2008 | No Comments

What is with people nowadays and their complete lack of courtesy and etiquette?

Case in point:

I have 2 friends (guy and girl) who I thought should meet each other and see where it might go. I thought they would look cute together. So here is how I set them up;

I emailed both privately and showed them a picture of each other along with some mutual interests that they both shared. Both liked what they saw and agreed to an introduction by me. I made an email introduction whereby I edified both sides and said that I thought they should meet for a drink. Nothing too high pressure. I didn’t expect for wedding bells to ring but at least they might make a new friend. Read more
