SUNDAY HUMOUR

passion for success

It's been a while since i blog. I just back from work after business discussion with my father and my partner Raymond at coffee shop. Only place where we allow to have dinner until we are successful. Meantime, i just finished up reading Kazuo Inamori - Passion for Success. The author is the founder of Kyocera Corporation, one of the Japan leading entrepreneur. If still unsure about the company, this company is the main sponsor for Reading Football Club in the Barclay's Premiership.

The content of the book is almost similar to any other books that talk about success. The fact remains is that every individual would like to see themselves succeed in their career or life. But yet not many of them really passionate to success. They believe to continue to do the same work again and again and hopefully receive the pay increament at the end of the year or continually hopping from one job to another to seek better paycheck disregard the word "passion".

As for myself, i had been in my career at the 7th year now. Time really moves extremely fast and never stop moving. I had achieve some results in my career back 3 years ago and it really make me "big person" in my company. It seem i'm one of the celebrity and that it what we call "comfort zone" where we totally stop seeking improvement in life and discontinue learning and start to behave which not suppose to be. The danger hole will arrive and waiting for me if i still continue to do what i'm doing.

The ego itself will kill people if we don't manage it properly and it's not easy to handle it in reality until it really hurts you badly. Till then only we start to realize that there was a hole in front and started to plan on how to patch the hole. In reality not many people manage to turn the corner and their life is gone is just a blink of eyes.

If we are so passionate to success, are we ready to admit our own mistake? Not easy at all. But this is the first rule towards the success journey. People besides you will start to admire you that you really admit yourself and now are very much determined to turn the corner to the journey to earn many millions of dollar. Some are touch by it and gives another chance for you to prove yourself and remember opportunity does not come often, once it arrive we got to work very very hard and i put it in my own words which some not disagree which is we got to punish ourselves to the limit when the opportunity arrive. It will not guarantee success but it will gives you a very good chance to achieve success if we prepare to work very very hard and never gives up.

I hardly slept every nite and i spend most of the time travelling to seek new business. It is very dangerous because accident can happen at every corner not within our control. Thus, 1000% efforts, focus and total dedication is needed to the road to success. ONE advantage i have is i have a personal coach and mentor who are equally so fired up to succeed. Listening to him everyday is like listening to Donald Trump everyday. I decided to stop attending motivational courses locally and internationally. I was heavily criticised on making that decisions back in Ipoh. I have decided and i don't bother about the comment anymore. The most important is know what you want and get the best out of it which is the results.

People started to treat and talk to you differently once you achieve some results you never achieve before in life. Yet they are the one who criticized you like nobody when we are in deep deep shit and started to pour tonnes of cold water and even recommend you to change jobs. But today they talk differently and put you up into the sky with the hope that you will share some business ideas with them. The world is so realistic and unfair, accept it and move on in lives. I never ever complaint on anybody, everything happen for a reason and it is only ourselves to blame for own creation. I can said i really accept the fact and admit the mistake, don't ever said sorry but to work damn hard everyday to prove to yourself you are far more better than what i'm currently in order to forgive yourself.

March will end soon and my team of people still continually seek opportunity which Donald Trump said keep creating luck. Luck will come when we are so persistent to seek opportunity in business. The total amount of business we created on the first quarter is equalvalent to 6 years total business. We got to moves on, it will mean nothing if we stop now. We will continually seek opportunity whenever we meet new prospects.

Be humble all the time, there is no whatsover reason to talk big and how good we are, i will continue my father footstep to live humbly forever in my life. Make ourselves rich and stay humble.

In order to pursue success, i realize we cannot only work everyday but we also must reward ourselves from time to time. Only then, we are constantly in full steam and enegectic all the time to do our business. For example, i goes shopping once a month in KL with my lovely wife and we allocate reasonable amount of money to be spend on that day including fine dining at restaurant within the shopping mall. I don't shop if people knows me well but the satisfaction came when i able to make my wife happy. Donald Trump mentioned don't buy quantity and special offer items usually sell at low prices. If we shop, look for quality. When we continue to read Donald's message, he is trying to convey that in business, this will inculcate into a habit in our lives where we seek quality in business and don't satisfy yourself too easily. Constantly demand on ourselves to perform and deliver better compare to yesterday. Habit can't be developed in one day, it tooks time and total dedication. It doesnt mean that if we start to shop quality, then you be sucessful, it is only one part to inculcate a good business habit.

On this saturday, me, father and Raymond will go NorthPort, Klang to collect my car. I would like to thanks to dad who really support his son in difficult time and now his son got BMW- bought from Raymond at very "buddy" price. Thanks Raymond. Definitely i will not boasting around but self satisfaction is awesome. I got another new toy in my life and many many more will be on the way if we focus towards our career.

Lastly, time to get to work, cherish and remember the past, what is far more important is NOW. Do we really want success in life? if YES, don't look left and right anymore, we need POSITIVE ACTION. GAMBATEH!!!

GOODNITE.

The New Science of Getting Rich

Before i went back Ipoh yesterday, i manage to take time off to MidValley Megamall to update my Garmin GPS and it is fantastic after latest update. Then, went to ATM machine to withdraw money for weekend usage and straight head to MPH bookstore. I finish reading my OSHO's books bought in New DElhi, India.

So i bought the book by Wallace D. Wattles title "the new science of getting rich" and i read the entire book this morning. I suprised myself, the reason is that the content was so interesting that you can't even spend time to go washroom.

Below is the summary:

1) No one can live a really complete or successful life unless they're rich.

2) Everyone has the right to be free and unrestricted use of all the things they need for their fullest mental, spiritual, and physical development. Everyone have the right to be rich.

3) The tide of opportunity moves in different directions, according to the needs of the whole and the state of the society, and those who goes with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it, find an abundance of opportunities.

4) The way we do things is the direct result of the way we think about things. And to think what you really want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearance.

5) Competition and Sacrifice is unneccesary and useless. You must rid yourself of the tought of competition. You are "made in the image of the Creator," here to create, not to compete for what is already created.

6) You don't have to take anything away from anyone

7) The desire for riches is simply our own capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment, so nature is friendly to your plans. Everything is naturally on your side. The universe desires you to have everything you want to have

8) "you don't have to drive sharp bargains" means you don't need to deal with them unfairly. You don't have to get something for nothing; rather, you can give everyone more than you take.

9) When you give everyone more in use value than you receive in cash value, you're adding to the life of the world with every business transaction and you don't have to beat anybody in business to get rich.

10) When you fully realize the fact that your desire for the possession of riches is at one with the desire of the supreme power for more complete expression, your faith become invincible.

GRATITUDE

a) Believe that there is one intelligent substance from which all things proceed

b) Believe that this substance gives you everything you desire

c) Relate to that intelligent substance through a feeling of deep and profound gratitude

11) The more gratefully we fix our minds on the supreme source when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come. The reason for this is simply that an attitude of gratitude draws the mind closer to the source from which all blessings come

12) To fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best and to become the best. The grateful mind continually perceives good things, which becomes expectation of more of the same, which becomes faith; a deep understanding and knowledge

13) To be rich is to think in the certain way. To think in the certain way, we must be clear and precise. We must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you can't transmit an idea into the substance unless you have it clearly yourself

14) To become rich, all you need is to accomplish your goal so that you know what you want and to want it badly enough that it will stay in your thought.

15) Behind your clear vision must be real intention to realize it, to bring it into tangible expression.

16) To get rich, you need only to use your willpower on yourself

17) If you want to become rich, don't study poverty. Get rich is the way to help the poor. The poor don't need charity, they need inspiration. If you want to help the poor, demonstrate to them they can become rich. BUT first you must become rich

18) Give your attention wholly to riches. Do not focus on any form of poverty, lack or distress

19) An ounce of doing is worth a pound of theorizing

ACTING IN THE CERTAIN WAY

a) you must give everyone more in use value than they give you in cash value

b) forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want

c) holding fast to your intention to get what you want

d) realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want

20) By thought, whatever you focus on is brought to you. By action, you receive it.

21) Every day is either successful day or day of failures, and it is successful day that you get what you want. If everyday is a success, you can't fail to get rich

22) Do, every day, all that can be done that day, but don't overwork or rush blindly into your business trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's work today or do a week's work in a day. It's not the number of things you do but the effectiveness of each separate action that counts as success.

23) A day or two spent in contemplating the vision of what you want and in earnest thanksgiving that you are getting it will bring your mind into such close relationship with the Supreme that you'll make no mistake when you do act

24) The desire for enhancement is inherent in all nature; it's the fundamental impulse of the universe

25) The desire to rule for self gratification has been the curse of the world

26) No matter what profession you're in, if you give increase of life to others and make them aware of that fact, they will be attracted to you, they will support your work, you will fulfill their needs and you will get rich

27) Don't wait for the "ideal" opporunity to be all that you want to be. When an opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel impelled toward it, take it. It's the first step toward an even greater opportunity.

finally, to become rich act now by;

form a clear and definte mental image of the things we wish to have, to do, or to become, and we must hold this image in our thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all our desires are granted to us. If we wish to get rich, we must use our leisure hours comtemplating our vision, in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to us.

wisdom for the day

do all that you can do effectively everyday, but do it without haste, worry, or fear. Move as quickly as you can, but never hurry. Mistakes come from acting hastily, from acting in fear and doubt, or from forgetting the right motive, which is more life to all and less to none.

Remember: the moment you begin to hurry you cease to be a creator and become a competitor, dropping back to old plane again.
