In business sense, for a company to last for a very long time, innovation and marketing will determine the lifetime of the company.
Without innovation and coming up with new products, the consumers will turn to other companies which can offer better products. Without marketing, even if you own the best product in the world, no one will know about it.
How does it got to do with relationships?
Let’s talk about innovation. Strangely, during courtship days, one party will try all means to win the other person’s heart. One is willing to pluck the moon from the sky just to be accepted as a stead. Then after entering into relationship. the effort put in to amuse the other party will lessen. As years pass by, some even feel there is no need to bother about it. Sounds familiar?
Innovation means finding new ways to spend time with your love ones and understanding more of your love ones. Innovation means let’s go for a slow walk by the beach instead of taking the usual walk along shopping lanes. Innovation means cooking a meal instead of eating at the usual restaurant or coffeeshops. Innovation means doing something different from what both of you normally do.
Innovation..what does it mean to you and how would you innovate your relationship with your love ones?

Honored I was to be coordinately invited by the author of this stunning and romantic blog to share my views on LOVE.??
It?s such a broad topic. Maybe I should just view on romance?.Hmm?.What is LOVE?
I begin to ponder?.
*Pages of memories flipped in the human data based*~Ding~
Shallow it may seem but somehow, I begin to recollect on the old memories of my first puppy love, of the first time my heart skipped its beat when he appeared. The time, when I meant everything to him and he meant the world to me, when LOVE is your only concern. The daily calls and meet up?. All the lovey dovey stuffs? All the first times become so ?memorable?? The first time you hold your hand with him, the first time he looks into your eyes and you say yes? Everything about him becomes the number one priority? everything about him seem perfect, the eyes, the features, his looks? everything?. you proudly brings him out, hold him tightly by the arm and make all your friends envious? It sounds crazy but that is love when you are young. Childish? Maybe but come on touch your heart and ask yourselves, isn?t the case for most of us??
Love is Blind?.
Then as you grow up, as you see and experience more, the definition of love changes? Love is no longer just looks, or the daily calls? it?s much deeper perception. It comes a time when love becomes more unconditional; when love no longer means possessing the person. Loving him is when you let go and set him free to make him happier even if it means millions of piercing daggers into the wound. It?s the time you would do anything and everything for someone.
Love is patient, kind and not jealous. It comes a time when Love is forgiving. When you truly love someone you love everything about them and you look passed all of their flaws.
When you really love someone you are loyal and honest to them. You would never want to hurt that person. You would treat that person like you would want them to treat you. You give your whole self to that person and share everything with that person. You would want to protect them and are willing to die for them. You are supposed to love them like you love your own self. You want to see that person happy. You want the best for that person and you want to see that person succeed.
Then as the adrenaline rising love carve its path, love settles down. To some, it means the dying signal of a relationship, however in my perspective it?s a good signal. It?s a good time for a couple to ?upgrade? and moved on to the next stage of their relationship to spark off the ?honey-moon? period they once have.
Love may be the sweetest thing everyone craves for, a fairy tale relationship is what every girl dream for but the path is certainly not a bed of roses. It can be bitter. There would definitely be times of quarrels over trivial issues but bear in mind the first rule for relationship; it?s unconditional and forgiving as long as your loved one is happy.
The most important thing is to love someone with true heart. Treasure each and every moment with them, for the last thing you want is to regret not loving them enough.
Enough said, I shall spread my love and send my blessings to everyone reading this.
To those who have not found your love or who have been through many sorrow patching on the heart, don?t despair for love is in the air. Awaiting the journey to the ONE, bear in mind you are still LOVED by many others around you?
With Love:

Of late, the newspapers have been marred with bad news ? terrorism, looming war, poor economic outlook, jobs at stake, natural disasters and human crime, the list goes on…?During tough times, it is important that we keep our spirits up and stay positive. There will surely be light at the end of the tunnel. We have to learn to appreciate the little things in our life. A meal with family/ friends, a conversation with a loved one or watching a movie/ TV programme are such trivial matters, but, do we take pleasures in these events?Well, think about the recent Korean train incident, No one expected it to happen. It is so tragic that such a thing should happen and imagine the unresolved issues that each of the victims may have. A truce with someone whom a quarrel has occurred, an occasion that has yet to be celebrated as it has been procrastinated for too many times, etc…??
There are so many things that we have yet to do or experience. Life is short and thus, it is coined precious by many. Let?s do ourselves a favour ? start living and stop brooding on things that are not meant to be and learn to treasure our loved ones and people/ events that come our way.
The birds and the flowers around us did not asked to be born and yet they are surviving just fine as Mother Nature provides for them. They have no plans for the future and they take each day as it comes.
Hence, being the more intelligent species, we will ride out these tough times and if we sow good seeds now, the promise of a bountiful harvest is ensured.

A bouquet for her
During courtship period, most guys will shower the ladies with gifts. Then, while they are still dating, the flow of gifts is still being sustained, maybe decrease a little bit la. Hmm…then after they get married, there is hardly any more gift..”waste money?”
Many times, this is when trouble comes. The ladies may ask “Why isn’t there any more gift for me? Where is the bouquet of flower he sent me everyday when he is courting me?…” the list goes on.
Guys and ladies alike…many times we are so preoccupied with our work, our career, our climb up the corporate ladder, the endless datelines, the many meetings till don’t know what time…by the time, we have reached home, we are so tired. Some may even have to take care of children and that leaves the couples very little time or no time to spend with each other.
I learnt from a friend (she is already in mid-forties, had a 13-year-old son) that everyday, she and her husband goes for a half-an-hour walk after dinner without fail. Other secondary benefits, also a good time to digest the food. Lower probabily for a tummy to be formed too.
The purpose of going for a slow walk is to update each other of their daily’s happenings and share their thoughts with one another. She even said the things they can discuss is endless because different daily events happen to them everyday. In fact, thousands and thoousands of things to talk about. So this makes me ponder why some couples even after 2 years of marriage told me they have nothing much to talk about. They just sit in front of the TV and stare at it.
As for me, I played my part too, making an effort to sit beside her and watch her do work even though she has to look at computer monitor. I also does surprise my fiancee with bouquets of flower, little toys, gifts or even a packet of bread for her to bring to work because I know that she is too busy to take her lunch. Small gesture like this goes a long way.

It is not easy to go through alone, especially when one feels so alone here, with no friend and family. If I were to put myself in your shoe, I would have felt the same way as you do, may be some fear, some anxiety and some sense of loss of direction. A mixture of feelings that you may not even be sure yourself. If you are not even sure yourself, how can others say “I understand how you are feeling.”
It is tough to walk through it alone, with so many obstacles, real or unreal, in the physical space or just in the head. Many people will just say “just go through la, you will be fine.” But how many people actually stop to listen to how you really feel? How many do actually listen to your inner voice? Who can sit down and just hear you out or even to offer a shoulder to cry on?
It is so easy to give up now. It is so easy to say that you don’t want to carry on. But what about the happy times that you have spent with each other? What about the times that both of you have done so much for each other? What about the times you said you love each other? Have you forgotten that?
The road of preparing the wedding is long. As much as we want it to be smooth, but things will seldom be the way we want it. Problems will come, challenges will confront you. Strike down these hurdles together and let them be opportunities for both of you to work together and learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
I know it is easier to say than to do it. I know I’m not you and only you know yourself best and what is best for you.
Glad that the last time I heard from you is things are going on well. You spent more time with your spouse-to-be and both of you communicate more with each other. It is not easy but I’m glad you have done it. Learn all these tools well and keep them by your side, as these will be the tools needed for the entire marriage life.
