FYI: Meeto World is a Language school currently teaching Japanese, Korean and soon Chinese online! check out our weekly Ustream shows for Japanese and Sake lessons for now! Why Meeto World? Well Meeto is a play on the katakana pronunciation of “meet” or “meet up”. Meeto also is a play on “Mi” for “3″ and “Tomodachi” for “Friends” as in Japanese we often truncate and concatenate words. Lastly the old school way of pronouncing the number “3″ and “10″ would been “Mee Tou” and “Ten Sai”. (Tensai also means “Genius” just to add that special touch).

YenYen 1 Year in Hawaii Anniversary Celebration

Yesterday we had a celebration for two reasons, one because Yen finally kicked off her new travel blog and video series over at Beach Bum Network and secondly because she wanted to celebrate her first complete year in Hawaii.

What makes this special to me is I was recently explaining to a friend in a life-coaching session (one of my many talents) how people do not really celebrate their victories any more. We all are so quick to say what went wrong about a situation and/or drag others into our BS issues but few celebrate the good things or as I say “Celebrate the Victories”. I think we need t celebrate all the victories no matter how big, small or seemingly inconsequential. Winning just feels good. When I close a deal, finish a milestone or even exercise everyday for a week I celebrate these accomplishments and give thanks to the universe and all those who helped me make it. It was nice to see Yen doing the same and I am proud to have become acquainted with her along her journey.

No more pity parties people and no more crap cultivation. I call this crap farming. By focusing on the crap, you just cultivate more crap. With your laser sights set on what can go wrong, you’ll over emphasize things that don’t go perfectly. Replacing worshiping failure with the celebration of incremental victories means that each retrospect finds ways to do things better (as opposed to stopping doing them wrong). This, in turn, creates teams that are hell-bent of improving – rather than avoiding pain.

Celebrate incremental victories! Take credit for jobs well done, and do them even better next time.

Don’t forget to visit my friend Yen at her new blog Beach Bum Network and say hello or send some Aloha.

See you at our next celebration.

Pimp Zen: ManScaping 101

Fellas as you get more experienced (yeah so OK I mean older) you will start to grow some serious eyebrows. Ya know the bookshelf joints that look like nori on your face… right.

The Solution is here… Manscaping by Alison at Kiss & Make Up.

I think this little lady gets a bit of a rush by causing pain on big dudes like me but my brows have never looked so cute… um oops I mean…nice. No more Captain Lou Albino braces rubber bands on the eyebrows just to keep them out of the eyes. My Cookie Monster days are over.

Here’s how: Take your GF for the treat of getting eye brows done and while you are there play it off like you are scared and too butch to get your eye garages done. Keep insisting “Imma Man.. I don’t need my brows done” (puff the chest up a bit first though… chicks digg this) then when they keep egging you on (and they will)… give in quietly and tell the GF it is only for her because you love her so much you’ll let yourself get punk’d for her. Trust me this plan is bullet proof and you will have GQ brows in about 5 mins or less.

If you are single just get’em chopped asap it will certainly step your game up. The ladies don’t like forehead hedges son. While you are at it get the nails cleaned up too.

I go to see Alison like twice a month and I always get compliments on having nice eyebrows… then I get to say…  Yes “I’m man enough to get my Manscaping on”

#Aloha
