Life’s True Compass


After reading the late U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy’s Memoir “True Compass”, a fascinating book about the life in the America's most prominent political family, death of his brother U.S. President John F. Kennedy and another brother Senator Bobby Kennedy and many joys and tragedies in between, I had the following thoughts to share with you:


1. Life is a working progress, the journey doesn’t stop and dream never dies

2. Laugh often and make people around you laugh with you

3. Find and seek like-minded people to build meaningful things together

4. When get lost, keep asking WHY? It will usually get you back to why you started and the original vision to keep you going on and strong

5. No one can achieve big things in life along, get a support system. And be humble, self is really nothing without others

6. Everyone and everything has a use. Think and implement ways to maximum the use

7. What matters is not what have desired, but what have done, even what has been said

8. Get away from the heavy side of the life and look after at the positive side. Looking for the fun side, no matter how grave a situation looks like

9. Have perseverance, the stick-to-it-ness. One day makes little difference, but keeping on doing what you have done will.

10. The best place is the place where people share goals, work hand and laugh often and loud, I call it “dream factory”

11. Everyone has ego. The right way is to recognize it and check it by the door. Put it to the back burner and try going on in life without it.

12. Not afraid to look bad, learn from what you don’t already know and be brutally honest with self.
