Disregard the 97%, Listen to the 3% and You Can And Will Succeed
February 18th, 2008
The 97% are the people who tell you that you should just study and get a job as though it’s the only path available.
The 97% are the people who tell you that your dreams are too big.
The 97% are the people who say that you need to be lucky to become successful.
The great discrepancy about this is that the people who usually say these things are probably not very successful themselves; and sadly, it’s at least 95% of the world population that thinks this way, consciously or subconsciously. In fact, the figure may be higher at about 97%, since I’ve heard that 3% of the world earns more or an equal amount of money than the other 97% combined. These successful 3% are also the people that the 97% either respect because of their success, or disrespect because of the unreasonable notion that these people had to do something bad to attain their riches. Among these 3% are the famous Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Michael Dell, and the less known few such as Bob Proctor, Brian Tracy and Anthony Robbins.
Let me reason with you as to why the 97% should not be listened to:

Passion before Money – not the other way around
February 17th, 2008
“I’ll earn money till I’m 65, then I’ll settle down and do what I love!”
Is that how you think?
Think about this -
You only have one life, and let’s say nothing happens to you that causes you to lose your life within the 65 years you planned to live doing something you don’t enjoy and living life just to survive and save up for the time when you can start doing what you would say is enjoying yourself.
Are you sure you want to live through most of your life living in mediocrity, or less that that for the matter?
By the time you’re 65, you’re probably not going to be able to do the things that you would have been able to do when you were younger. I say that with confidence because when you live life this way, you probably fight so hard to survive financially that you won’t have the time to really dedicate it to the other areas – Health and Relationships.

Three Steps to Living a Life of Passion
January 27th, 2008
What if you knew that it was possible to pursue your passion and still have abundance in your financial area?
That, I think is the biggest factor that prevents people from going for what they love. They think they won’t be able to feed themselves or live in a comfortable home because their hobby is ‘just a hobby’ and wasn’t meant to be something you can make money off; because you’ve been taught by the people who don’t know better that FUN THINGS are not meant to earn you a living?
It’s actually quite the opposite. Doing things you find fun will drive you further than anything you don’t like to do; because you will excel in it with all your energy, and when you excel this much, you will eventually be so good that you will make more money than you would ever if you had stuck to something you had to toil over, and motivate yourself to do only because you want to ‘survive’.
Driven by my passion to help people live life doing what they love with the assistance of the business and marketing, I have come up with 3 essential steps that will bring you to pursue your passion with utmost inspiration; and give you no reason not to do it.

A Simple Lesson in Business
January 22nd, 2008
Most people forget what business is truly about and all they think of are the high level principles that makes it lose its charm, its beauty.
Yes, I love business and the words I use to describe it may be unorthodox; but it’s all part of my philosophy to create businesses that bring real value to the world; and priceless, intangibles such as joy, connection, love, security to the customer to enhance their lives.
It’s all about exchange. More appropriately, it is about the exchange of what your business’ product or service will achieve for the customer, for money.
The real rewards lies in the sense of joy and contribution you make to your customers and it is something that is priceless, something that money cannot buy. However, realize that money is still important in business. The customer probably does not know what you want, so money is the universal unit they can use to repay you for all you have given them and allow you to fulfill your needs in your own way. I mean, you wouldn’t want to receive something such as a food processor when you don’t really need it, and even the customer would much rather give you something that you would need

Finding ways to live your Passion
January 20th, 2008
How’s the thought of being able to live doing what you love?
Doing that which is your hobby, something you probably think is ‘just a hobby’; that it cannot impact your life in any significant way.
Perhaps your hobby is one that you THINK is acceptable; and your true passion lies somewhere else, suppressed by the people who have no passion and take your aways with in-deliberate selfishness that is passed on unconsciously.
But first, you have to find your passion. What you would do for nothing in return, what you would do for the world – and realize that you can do it that way and fulfill every other area of your life that you think it cannot fulfill. I will show you how. Read the rest of this entry »
Business is the Perfect Complement; if you desire to help others
January 17th, 2008
If you had all the money in the world, what would you do?
If you had the desire to help as many people as you possibly can, and make these people happy, I would like to suggest going into business.
Why?
You only have this much manpower if you do it yourself. You only have this much time to spend. You can only be at once place at any one time. You can only travel this fast.
There’s more, but you get the point and I don’t wish to bore you.
Business practically eliminates ALL those problems and achieves what you would ideally want – to help as many people as possible, numbers that you may not even have imagined possible.
LEVERAGE – that is the word.
Business can multiply your manpower by many fold – tens of thousands and even millions.
Why You May Not Have Found Your Passion
January 15th, 2008
It just struck me.
If you don’t have a passion, if you don’t seem to have a passion, the passion that I spoke of with so much ZEST, what could it be?
Why you might not be able to find your passion from what you are doing right now…
…because what you are doing right now is probably what you think others think you should do, for significance. You are doing things that will make other people think that you should do to be things like ‘cool’ or ‘makes you you’ – yes, what ‘makes you you’ may have been defined by the people around you. As you do different things and find out the reactions to your actions, you slowly adapt and choose the one that fulfills your human needs – certainty, significance among others.

Have You Found Your Passion?
January 15th, 2008
Passion. You just get PUMPED UP. You just get EXCITED. You just LOVE LIFE SO MUCH WHEN YOU ARE ON IT.
Is there something that gets you feeling that way?
I’m not sure how many people have found theirs. Perhaps many have, but how many are suppressed by the naysayers even before they can fight back?
Perhaps your passion is one that you now sub-consciously reject; because the people around you that have put it down with negative comments have led you to believe that it is something BAD, something USELESS.
What right do they have to do that?
Wait, they actually have the right. BUT, it just so happens that they usually do it even before the victim will fight back. The victim is usually adolescent – chasing dreams, doing everything while the mind is still free from the false limits others impose on the innocent one and doing whatever makes them happy.
So much passion ready to be harnessed in the years to come – but destroyed by the 99% who live miserably without passion. It’s not these people’s fault either. They had theirs suppressed too and they don’t know any better.

Helping Passionate People LIVE their Passion…
January 15th, 2008
…IS MY PASSION.
I just get excited. VERY excited. I feel exhilarated. I start to inspire.
Speaking to classmates who were just so passionate earlier, I got into a frenzy.
They loved what they did; and I was sure they would excel, and not just a little. You can see their passion when you talk to them and they speak about sleep being a waste of time; because time put into what they love is never enough and they want to do more, and more.
That’s what I feel now. I just cannot sleep. Every moment I am thinking of the things I am passionate about – and it’s simply just more exciting than sleep, in EVERY way. Read the rest of this entry »
Do Your Actions Contribute Good to the World?
January 13th, 2008
This is going to be a very harsh message and this if for the people who have pseudo-superiority.
If you think that you are special, that you stand out, that you are smarter than others, that you know better than almost anyone else – look at your life right now and think; do you really have things you can boast about to successful people like Michael Jordon or Mother Theresa?
Do you have the monetary riches or the respect they get from thousands or even millions they’ve inspired?
Look at the successful people of the world and compare yourself to them.
Are your actions mediocre?
They probably don’t contribute to the world.
