Progress is such an important word. It means growth, moving forward. You always have to move forward.

You know, life expects us to do certain things properly. But it expects us to be productive. What it does, is that it wants us to make a quantitative or a perceptive progress in a way that what happens, develops over a period of time.

“Why do I love you?” is a question many people ask when we speak to our parents, to our spouse, to our friend, to a colleague, a child, or an acquaintance, or even the Creator of the world.

Have you thought about the question, why does G-d, the Creator of the world, love us,?

Obviously, he created us in an image which has a purpose; but why does He love us?

Why would He nurture us, Save us, Guide us?

What is the reason for that?

Being thankful is part of life’s journey. Being grateful is part of your values. Make it a good day and thank everyone who helped you along the way.

The quest for a better life is a difficult concept but if you think about it, everyone is looking for a better life. Everyone is looking for happiness. It is often said however, that the process of change in life begins, unfortunately, with things that are difficult. Once a person “hits” a wall or is desperate in a situation that is somewhat difficult, it’s at that time that they start looking for a better life.

Think of this concept, if I may impose upon you, regarding the pharmaceutical profession. There are many lessons and it may impact some of our mission in our life, so think about that.

“What we do with what we have says so much about us”.

Did you know that? It’s interesting.

It actually reveals our own philosophy about our life, our attitude and what we know, what we think, and the makeup of our character, and the person that we truly are. It’s a reflection of our thoughts, and our value of systems. This is the way we do things and the way we see those things.

Life is opportunity but life also has a price, and we all must pay. We all must share. We all must contribute to make this world a better place. The rewards, however, is that when we leave, when the time comes, we leave it better than the way we found it when we first got here.

I once spoke to a leader who was telling me that life is not so simple as a leader. Actually, leadership is quite often an exercise in facing reality; and he couldn’t face this. This leader had dealt with someone who was very unethical and dishonest, and he couldn’t understand that.

Well, I tried to explain to him that dishonest people are just that, they are “dishonest” and they lack integrity. That’s who they are. That’s how they live. This is what they do. It is what they want to be.

Now there’s a concept called the 80-20 rule. It is to learn to spend 80% of your time as the leader with the 20% of the people who deserve it. A leader has to know that difference. Why is that?

There are some people who live with if only:

“If only I were rich. If only I had more possessions. If only I had great health. If only I had been born in this country. If only I had this and if only I had that.”

Ask yourself the question, what if you would think differently by saying:

“Now, that this is what I have, what do I do? How can I grow? How can I change?”

Rather than saying if only I had this, why don’t you use what you have, what you know!

There are people who can’t function well at times and they wonder why is that. Is it mental, physical, spiritual?

Believe it or not, often it is a physical concept that they don’t understand or don’t pay attention to.
