Entrepreneur.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:
“For many people, meditation has a negative connotation. To be honest, there was a time when I would’ve seen meditation in that light. But after learning to meditate, and practicing it for some time, my opinion about it has completely changed.
“For those of you looking to improve your health, clarity of mind, sense of well-being and productivity, meditation is for you”…

I published a new article on LinkedIn today. It begins:
“I understand it is traditional in China to not always shop around for the best price. Instead, the focus is more on creating strong, lasting relationships—a solid team. Associate yourself with the right people, and your business will flourish.
“A good team involves two aspects: a professional team and your business team. The professional team involves individuals who are absolutely essential, but not generally worked with on a daily basis. Unless you have a very large business, professional team members will be individuals you consult with, but are not on your payroll. They include an attorney, accountant, and banker”…

Entrepreneur.com just published another one of my new articles. It begins:
“A dear friend got up on stage with me once to address the group. His speech was so dry and stilted that, in short order, the whole audience was squirming in their seats, uncomfortably waiting for him to end. I was aware he had a lot of material to convey, so I knew I had to do something. I took a chance. In a friendly, jovial and joking way, I loudly blurted out, “Boring!” The whole audience burst out laughing, as did my friend. It shifted the whole room, and he started to talk from a more natural and comfortable place. Fortunately, it was a great success”…

I just published a new article on Medium.com. It begins:
“Like many people, I was always a reflective type. I liked to think deeply about all matters of life. Yet as the years go by, I’ve noticed the ever-changing form the reflections have taken. When I was young, my reflections had a slightly sharper tone. It’s not that the content of the thoughts have changed much, but rather my relationship with those thoughts has softened. There is a greater appreciation for the delicacy of the nature of things. This includes the delicacy of those people I know and those I don’t know, those with whom I have a close personal relationship and those I do not. When it comes to conflict, it just feels natural to let it go and let bygones be bygones. What difference does it really make?”…

A bus load of fifth graders came out to visit Mount Soma yesterday. Watching the kids enjoy the beautiful fall weather here was quite moving for me. Kids are so awesome. I spoke with one of the mothers after the kids left. She was excited to see that Mount Soma is here. Living nearby, she plans to visit the temple often with her family. There is something about fall weather and watching kids with their school books and backpacks that is so nostalgic and emotional for me. It was a beautiful time, just witnessing the kids.
Similarly, watching the families that visit on the weekends moves me. I sorta feel like Walt Disney, creating something that families enjoy together.
I stopped by the Union at lunch time to visit with everyone. The feeling is so wonderful here. The sense of community is beautiful. We are all so fortunate to have this place.
