Positive Thinking for Success and Happiness
(1) With sincere love, it's like living in Heaven. On the other hand, with cruel hate, it's like living in Hell. Fighting and malice for selfish gain belong to Hell. Cooperation and encouragement to promote quality of life are attitudes of Heaven.
(2) The paralleied practice of both the positive thinking and love in action through the skills with good personal traits such as enthusiam, belief, intellegence, creativity, judgement, liveliness, vision, courage, desire to excel, and persistence, will help people pursue rich, happier, and successful life.
(3) One of my philosophy of management for many years teaching in the Graduate School of Business Administration of National Chengchi University and National Chunghsing University was to enphasize that, "The reaching of peak management achievement through successful work performance both on good production and human relations."
(4) In this 21st Century new era and society, we need economicgrowth, but we need also to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure fountain may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through: the power of public service that based on knowledge is the power of righteousness; the advancement of technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation; and the spirit that knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service.
(5) Anything you are good at contributes to happiness. Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. The great Winston Churchill said, "We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Judge Natalie Tyrrell told me to exemply this inspiration same as her driving force by which she starts out each day.
(6) Nine factors to achieve HAPPINESS inducted by a research from a modern psychological medicine:
H --Happy Genes. Having genes of happiness.
A --Altruism. To benefit other people, not selfish.
P -- Purpose in Life. To have a central purpose in life.
P -- Positive Attitude. Aggressive and positive attitute.
I -- Intimate Relationship. Intimate social relations.
N -- Never Retire. Always full with activeness and interest.
E --Exercise. Take good exercise accordingly.
S -- Spiritual Life. To have a spiritual life.
S -- Smile. Always smile.

--- Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute
