Miho's favorites

I was watching biography & the success story of Howard Schultz who is the chairman of Starbucks coffee , on TV the other day and I was inspired by his amazing passion for coffee which he offers in Starbucks and his heartfelt communication with customers and people, besides his success story. I love to read biographies, and success stories about any kind of topics, business, health, wealth, beauty, happiness, etc.. and always love to learn “ How “. and finding the common between all the successful people. He is famous and I suppose everyone knows about his biography and his success story. I just wanted to include his story in my blog Miho’s Favorites . Howard Schultz described his business and his selling of delicious coffee this way, “ This is not a transaction, not a calculation , no, it’s a passion ! and it’s about communication with people, with heart ! “ Especially this his quote above was very impressive and is spinning around in my head. Also, ...

Many successful people often say these quotes, " Nothing is impossible. Never give up !" While I was checking Tatiana Navka / Roman Kostomorv ’s official site, I found Navka’s favorite quotes are those words. First, I thought it’s very simple quotes , not so unique, so I was wondering why ? I also saw Jeremy Wariner said those quote in interview. Also many other successful Olympic athletes, Successful Hollywood actresses, musicians and business owners. But when I was re- thinking those quotes deeply, suddenly I realized that it’s very powerful words and gave me fire and high energy. They all believed they can do it with burning desire and well balanced focus , thinking only one thing. And that got successful result. But once successful people achieved their goal , often the burning fire is gone. Keep winning is not easy. Once they won it, or got huge hit, no starving mind left anymore , easy to become lazy. Also high pressure appears from public expectatio...

It’s always inspiring people who achieved their dream. In this Beijing Olympics, I have no doubt Michael Phelps is the most successful athlete who challenged 5 individual swimming competitions and won all of them and made world records, plus 3 team competitions relay, and received total of 8 gold medals. In the beginning , I was more thinking about my favorite subjects , gymnastics and track & field, and had no interest for swimming competitions. US broadcast showed mainly swimming most of the time and I wasn’t watching Phelps interviews at that time. But later, by chance I watched one of his interviews and found good impression about him seeing his talking. He is a very nice guy, nothing arrogant, snob against anyone, humble and humility. Later, I started checking his records and biography and was shocked to see his amazing success. Analyzing the key of successful people is one of my favorite things to do. There are always common things for successful people. Here ar...

People can't be successful if they don't have luck, even though they have enormous talent and abilities and they work hard and have determination. We all need luck to be successful for our life . Love, wealth, fame, health ,career whatever. From my experience, I believe luck doesn't just happen. We make it happen.

And I found out the difference. Here is the list. * Lucky people often gratitude about things and people, unlucky people often complain about things and people. * Lucky people are opt...

" Exceeding your personal best. " " There is no competition. There is no enermy. There is only the desire to improve yourself. As you improve, the world improves. " I love this quote. I found this quote in one of my favorite book " Attractor factor " by Joe Vitale. I've just sent this message to my favorite skater Johnny Weir. He will compete in Cup of Russia on November 23, 24. Johnny lost his mind-set at Skate Canada and finished at third place. Since my second favorite skater Stephane Lambiel ( from Switzerland ) made big mistake at his SP, and ranked at 7th place, and Johnny got 2nd position at his SP, he could win the competition. However, Johnny said, since he knew he could win this competition, he felt confidence after the SP and before the FP. Once his FP started, and he made mistake at his first jump which was suppose to be combination jumps ( 3-3 ). Then his quad became triple jump and he made another mistake at ...
