Thank you for vising my blog again, even though it’s been a long time I haven’t posted any updates here.

“So where have you been, Ladan?”

You know how Twitter and Facebook have become so popular these days. Twitter is just like a blog where you can post your latest updates, but it is even faster and easier.

You can also use Facebook to share your latest news, tips, and interesting resources in a more personal way.

That’s why for the last several months, I have been actively posting new personal development tips and resources mostly on Twitter and Facebook - not on this blog anymore. Because they are faster and I can share more helpful content with you.

So if you have enjoyed reading this blog so far, you can find more updates on my Twitter and Facebook pages here:

• Ladan Lashkari on Facebook
• Ladan Lashkari on Twitter

I update these two almost every day, so you can discover lots of cool tips and tricks about success, motivation, and personal development there.

It does NOT mean I won’t post anything new to this blog any longer. I will still keep updating this blog from time to time.

See you around!

I was tagged a couple of weeks ago to reveal 25 random things about myself. OK, today I finally got some time to share it here. So here you go…

#1. I am very happy, cheerful, and energetic 99% of the time. When you see me - day or night - Ladan is usually smiling and is excited about life. Some people are surprised to see it when they first get to know me. So you’ve been “warned”.

#2. I was very naughty and playful when I was a kid. I was the leader of kids in our apartment and school to do weird, playful adventures and get caught by parents or teachers.

#3. I learned Taekwondo - to get a stronger mindset and for self-defense if ever necessary.

#4. I won a gold medal in the International Painting Competition in 1995 in Japan. Several years later, I won another award in the International Digital Painting Competition done using computer graphic design programs.
So you could say I love painting and am pretty good at it.

#5. I love the rain. Unlike most people who run away when the rain starts, you’ll find me out in the rain - sometimes with an umbrella and sometimes even not. I feel it brings down lots of positive energy and life with it.

#6. I can speak English and Persian fluently, plus some French, German, Korean, Japaese, and Arabic.

#7. Here’s how I looked like when I was a kid….

If you’ve been wondering what Ladan has been doing lately, the answer is simple: I’ve been having lots of fun traveling to different parts of Malaysia and enjoy it to the fullest.

Life is too precious to be working all the time and since my Internet marketing business is mostly on autopilot, it gives me the freedom to go anywhere and do anything I want every day. (That’s why I recommend YOU automate your business too.)

So I decided to share with you some photos of these recent adventures for fun. Also if you want to visit Malaysia one day, you’ll have a good list of fun places to visit yourself then.

You may have seen the recent Christmas photos post. Now here are more photos and adventures…

Adventure #1: Johor Bahru

It is another big city in Malaysia other than Kuala Lumpur. I took a vacation there recently and visited some interesting places. One of them was the Desaru beach which you can see here…

A beautiful beach in Johor Bahru.

Ladies and gentlemen… welcome to my humble house.

And here are more adventures…

“The newest attorney at the world’s most powerful law firm has never lost a case. But he’s about to lose his soul.”

I watched this movie a couple of nights ago and liked it a lot, so decided to share it with you here.

Friendly Warning: Don’t watch this movie if you are very religious and sensitive. You’re going to hear some controversial conversations about God and religion.

I enjoyed watching this movie from two aspects…

The love and fun in the air is just undeniable.

I’ve been meeting my friends a lot during the holidays, having adventures, and visiting different fun places and Christmas shows.

I decided to share some of these photos with you here…

So the holidays are coming and everywhere you go, you feel that Christmas is in the air.

You see everyone is busy shopping for gifts for friends and loved ones, decorating their homes, laughing and having fun.

So here are 3 fun ideas to you can do before Christmas to make your holidays more special…

(Today you get Idea #1. The other 2 will come soon in the next few days.)

1. Let’s Remember What Christmas Is All about

Sometimes getting too busy with the Christmas “chores”, we forget the real meaning of it all.

Buying gifts, decorating the home, and all these are great things - but as long as we still remember and cherish the main message.

Let’s see what a 7 year-old kid thinks it is…

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”
- Bobby, age 7

Isn’t it so true?

(We could learn a thing or two from this smart kid. )

Christmas is all about Love.

I’m not talking about the “religious” aspect of it. We are looking at Christmas as a universal holiday that all people from all countries, races, and religions celebrate. It’s like a fun holiday that unites the hearts together all around the globe.

So in the busyness of the holidays, why not stop for a while and remember how much we love our family, friends, and other special people in our lives?

Why not in the last few days of the year, take some time - even if just 60 minutes - to really show them how much their being here means to us.

And you don’t need to show it by a very expensive gift you can’t really afford. Just a heartfelt word of appreciation and a caring smile will show it much better.

Make your loved ones feel special. Make them smile and feel how valuable they are to you.

Imagine for a second how your life will be even if you suddenly lost them. Then you’ll really know what they mean to you.

So how about this Christmas, we make it a bit different than the rest?

How about you and me give more love this time… instead of more fancy gifts like everyone else does?

Wishing you a more loving, fun holiday than ever!

P.S. Stay tuned for the next Christmas Fun Idea coming in the next couple of days.
