How to Stop Worrying

Expectations. We go through this every single day ever since we come out of our mother's womb. 

Ever since then we grew up with what ifs and what woulds.

This fear will eventually manifest, because we are attracting them.

There is really no words, pictures, or speeches that can pull you out of anxiety if you choose to hear, see and talk about the negativity that surrounds you. How can a doctor cure you, if you are deaf to all treatment?

Things to start living by to kill worry:

1. Be really open minded, as I always like to say, a white piece of paper. You may know tonnes of stuff, because people around you have scarred, colored and painted your piece of paper, but TRY to keep i white when you learn. 
2. Be receptive. New ideas and solutions come from people who are thinking. If you're not being receptive about it, don't condemn the others to see things your way. 
3. Keep yourself occupied. Being busy keeps your mind away from worry. This little secret shouldn't be a secret at all.  Have a GOAL. A realistic one.
4. Don't have expectations. Especially with people; humans are born ungrateful, egoistic and selfish. We should never place these expectations on others that we ourselves are enslaved to. 
5. Keep praying. This is the only way, you are connected spiritually. Pray to whatever beings that you call Creator.

National Acheiver's Congress

Recently, I attended a congress held at the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event left me with awe every night I returned home. A mind blasting 3 days by awesome speakers particularly:

• Kim Kiyosaki
• Steve Clements
• Bill Walsh
• Jeff and Kane
• Nik Halik
• Deborah Torres Patel
• Jaz Lai
• Rohan Weerasinghe 
• Eve Michaels
• Marcus de Maria
• Krish Dhanam
• Rick Belluzo
• Nishant Kasibhatla
• Dr. Sundardas
• Blaine and Honey Parker

Each of them brought new enlightenment and understanding as to what passion and wealth really is. Creating wealth is never the same as finding money. This congress changed my life forever and I am more than determined to apply what they have thought and share it with the world. One small step from you will be one big achievement for me.

Over the course of the next few months, I will begin another journey in my life to seek self improvement, motivating others to do the same; and when the time is right I aim to stay in servitude; sharing what I have learnt to all of you and the world.

Any feedback is always well appreciated.

Time to learn or earn?

When is the best time to learn? Well I would say throughout your entire lifetime. But to be more SPECIFIC, the best age to gear up with knowledge would be during your teenage years.

A teenager would pick up thoughts and ideas relatively fast as compared to a young adult. These soon turn into principals which will guide his or her path throughout their lives. It is true that people change with time, but principals that reap an abundance would not easily be swayed with passing time. 

How can this be proven true? Why, don't we often hear the majority ranting about how they wish they could do it all over again? 

So this post would be specifically dedicated to all you teen readers out there.

1. 13-15 years old : You are beginning to undergo emotional changes that may bring about the rebel in you. This will be a good time to discover your true tendencies towards a field you will venture to in the future.
2. 16-21 years old. You have turned into an adult. Making decisions of your own, you should know that with each step there are consequences that hold you accountable. Fear not of failures but learn from them. Don't regret your circumstances but instead turn the tables around and make things work out for you.
3. 22-26 years old. You have achieved and lost your fair share. Do not sway from your original goals. Continue to learn and most importantly practice them as often as you can. Keep learning to earn. 
4. Now your an adult: SO TIME TO EARN back those 'learning investments' that you spent a quarter of your life at!

Cashflow Quadrants

Copyright by Cashflow Technologies, Inc.

Taking a little time to ponder on the graphic above will give you a summary of what this post holds. The Cashflow quadrants were developed by Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of the bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad. Robert throughout his years of spreading his knowledge on financial freedom, have used these quadrants over and over again. Simplicity combined with an abundance of useful principals that one could apply in our everyday lives. 

The letters on the graphic above depicts:

• E ~ employed 
• S ~ self employed 
• B ~business owners 
• I ~ investors

As we would divide these quadrants into a left and right portion, we can see more clearly that the left quadrant works to earn money. On the other hand, the right quadrant makes money work for them.

To keep things simple for this post, we shall discuss what are cashflow quadrants. In the world of business and finance, there are numerous types of cashflow i.e. operational cashflow, investment cashflow, financing cashflow. Here we are going to discuss your very own cashflow. 

1. Start by thinking of yourself as a commodity. You will determine what you're worth by actions that you take today. 
2. Then look closely at the quadrants and determine which quadrant you're in.
3. Then forget whatever that you're doing while reading this AND FOCUS ON WHICH QUADRANT YOU WANT TO BE IN! 
4. Study yourselves and note down all the best and worst qualities you currently possess. 
5. Seek a mentor to guide you in whichever quadrant you choose to be in. Be sure to take advice from someone who has been there and done that. Professional consultants who are paid to give you advice are often out of the question. They are paid to sell you words. The results will solely be the outcome of your own actions. 

Time to devote yourselves to a lifetime of learning. Nobody can guarantee you financial freedom but yourselves. So devote a little time in a day to LEARN. 

We have got to learn to crawl, walk, stumble and fall, before we finally begin to run and sprint.  J. Huntsman

Nurturing a Leader

Hi there, it has been ages since I updated my blog. Been doing some soul searching and having a few weeks of break from all the hustle and bustle. Anyway, in this post I will talk about the importance of creating a leader right from the very age of 5.


Troy Dunn, the author of Young Bucks, made me realize that a child's mind is rich and vast, unbounded by imaginative restrictions. What adults fail to realize and often repeat is that they undermine their child's capability. How often do we entrust our 5 year old with washing their own dishes? Are we providing too much comfort that they grow accustomed to it and in later stages depend on these "luxuries" that we provide?


Parents must act as pillars of strength and inspiration that children will look up to and imitate. Gradually entrust your child with responsibilities instead of providing for them. They will come to thank you later. As adults we want our children to go further in life than what we have achieved in ours. We want to see them shine; our grandsons and granddaughters to thrive. All these cannot happen overnight but through patient and gradual training throughout their entire life. Parents will act as supporting frames because they have walked through the stages of childhood and adolescence. They are aware of how merciless the world can be if one is not prepared to face it.

1. Firstly, give your child the "gift of eagerness". Take steps necessary to promote this quality in your child. Do this by asking questions and have conversations that build up this "gift". When a child wants something so badly, he or she will begin to ask you for it. 
2. And at this crucial moment don't jump the gun and give it to them, but instead, observe and wait for the right moment to suggest ways that they could earn it. To accomplish this never ever provide them with allowances. This will only make them be more dependent on you, and when they can wait no longer, they tend to ask for "bonus allowances" that allows them to achieve their goals faster. 
3. Then, offer suggestions as to what kind of activities that can allow them to generate their own income. This must be done with accordance to which skill set they are inclined to. Never ask your child to set forth on something that he or she does not feel like doing. And never suppress a skill or hobby that he or she is good at no matter how ridiculous it may seem to you. In their eyes, its something worth doing. And by supporting them, they will go further in life because happiness dictates achievements. 
4. Have regular checkups on your child and always discuss the ups and downs of their pursuits. They will be subjected to pitfalls but it is all in the learning process of become a leader. 

A leader could be just living under your roof, with proper guidance and support will turn out to be your own greatest achievement yet ~ J. Hunstman.

How do you define Education?

Going through about a quarter of your life, enduring the wrath of examinations that seem endless, regurgitating knowledge facts that make you sound almost robotic; all for the sake of securing a job in the current competitive market. That is what the current generation of young adults and future children will face. 


What has become of the true meaning of education? Pause all your pursuits of facts and think for a moment, is this the real meaning of being educated?


Henry Ford during WW1, a Chicago Newspaper published several editorials that among other statements, called Henry an "ignorant pacifist". A law suit was brought upon the paper for libeling him. Attorneys were trying hard to prove that while Henry possessed a fair amount of specialized knowledge he was in fact an ignorant man. Henry was bombarded with questions pertaining to history and current happenings and finally when he was particularly tired of being subjected to offensive interrogation, he finally said:

"If I should really want to answer the foolish question you have just asked, or any other of the other questions you have been asking me, let me remind you that I have a row of electric push buttons on my desk, and by pushing the right button, I can summon to my aid men who can answer any question I desire to ask concerning the business to which I am devoting most of my efforts. Now, will you kindly tell me, why should I clutter up my mind with general knowledge for the purpose of being able to answer questions, when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I require?"

Henry Ford knew the true meaning of being educated. He organized and channeled his knowledge in the direction most beneficial to himself; never for the sake of pleasing others, never for the sake of passing examinations, and most of all not to prove that he was better at memorizing factual data. 

Find your true calling and be devoted to a life long learning. 

Don't let ego and challenges cloud your way. 

When circumstances prevent you from achieving the life you want, be prepared to make drastic choices that will turn your life around. 

Keep your goals in mind and they will magnetize themselves around you.

Seeing is Not Believing

People used to say they wouldn't believe something was real until they see it for themselves. But what happens if the difference is so minute and scarce that you have to play a spot the difference game? 

Well unless you are equipped with the proper knowledge of what genuine is, you wouldn't know you are being duped. 

can you tell the 6 differences in the picture above?

Being genuine has far more benefits than an imitation. This applies to all aspects in life; not just physical manifestations. 

Don't all of us fall for the tendency of having someone to be there beneficially? We know that each individual have strengths to which we could exploit with less effort. We know what they are capable of and that is why we make sure they stay attached very closely. Its near impossible to find someone genuinely interested in you these days when the world has turned into a cat eat mouse scenario. 

"We are interested in others when they are interested in us"  ~ Publilius Syrus

Giving some thought on what old Syrus has to say. Think of the small conversations that you have with acquaintances. Everyone will put themselves first before all others because its human nature. We were born to adapt and therefore not knowingly commit a sin of excess when making decisions. 

Nobody rejects a spare but always questions the scant ~ J. Hunstman 

Strive to lead a life of sincerity and abundance will come so discretely you will not notice it. Be a genuine person to yourself, family, friends and ultimately your Creator. Remember these "SELF LEARNING METHODS", and perhaps you will find more sincere people surrounding your world. 

1. Smile.
2. Listen.
3. Make others feel important in a genuine way. 

I bid you a Happy New Year and may 2012 steer itself into sincere happiness that come in abundance for all you readers out there!

PS: sorry I have not been updating my post, pretty preoccupied with unavoidable matters. Till the next time..
