Happy Vesek Day!

Hola, another topic which will not have any link with the content of this blog post kind of post again.

I may have become a zombie for good right now, not physically or mentally, but emotionally.

1 week has passed since I out pro, I don’t really have the urge to take my nap anymore. I woke up at 7+am automatically & I feel fresh till I hit the bed.

I will travel to Raffles City almost every Monday & Wednesday for CC Traders’ gathering & course preview respectively. In my recent visit, it feels like years since my last visit. The theory of relativity is being refreshed once again during this year’s high key ICT.

At the course preview, I’m really glad to have 4 out of 5 signing up for our course. As I have always said to everyone, relationship is a 2-way traffic. You have to take the leap of faith to trust us. Together, we will produce results. As always, I will ask why you don’t sign up because we have the best deal available. I totally accept the reason given by KH on Wednesday – his father is an investor himself and he would like to learn from his father instead. That’s good because if I were you, I would have done the same thing.

Mentally, my mind is full of work right now. I have a lot of business ideas, but I never really execute them. Last night, I reached home at 8+pm, took a short break and watched “Friendly Fire” till 945pm and I started work on my new business till way past midnight! (1201am)

Gone are the days where brick & motar business will be profitable. Any small profit will be taken by government through tax & levy and the landlord through rent over time. This is why more than half of new businesses fail within a year, and more within 5 years and more within 10 years.

In my last 3 business ventures are all online business. The start up cost is not high & the running cost is managable. Most of the revenue will go to real profit after we gain back the capital. I can work from home  or practically anywhere as long as I have my laptop with internet connection. I can choose to check my email (work) when I want to.

I don’t look forward to a fixed monthly salary because that is a ceiling revenue method. What I’m capable of monthly is only that fixed income. Other than looking forward to pay day, I will be a zombie for the rest of the month.

As an entrepreneur, income is never consistent but it’s definitely rewarding. For any job/service/consultancy/course/product I provided, I receive an income. This variable income method does give me a sense of satisfaction. (Note: Not hapiness)

By combining my knowledge, skill, passion & others all together, I’m glad that I have found my niche. Imagine doing things that you love, you can earn a good income and yet you have lots of time for yourself. But actually, having too much time for yourself is not really good. (I will talk about it in a while)

Emotionally, nothing really make me excited or sad anymore. I don’t even flinch my eyebrow when I’m winning thousands or losing thousand. I don’t feel stress about an incoming exam nor I don’t feel sad when my prospect cancelled the appointment late. My heart is feeling empty. I do try to fill it with some happiness through playing with nicole or ryan or through connecting with my friends and family. I still feel touch when I receive sincere thanks/testimonial.

There will be lots of flashback everytime I receive a testimonial. (even though I keep asking for them!) I will recalled how we met, what’s my first impression of you, how much I want (or don’t want for some people) to work together with you and make you a better person.

MK, met him during CC focus group session last August. My first impression of him is that he’s smart! I know he will make right choices here and there. Yup, in his testimonial, he said that he sold his wilmar (cut loss) to join our course. Months later, he earned back this realized loss, his course fees & more!

My other impression of him that he’s lazy like me. Mind you, being lazy is not a bad thing, because we use our creativity to get things done properly.

The irony of getting an exercise mat is not to exercise, but it’s for me to lie down to enjoy my television shows.

All right, my heart is still feeling very empty nevertheless. Again, I have to stress that this empty feeling of mine may be what makes me a cool person, able to think logically in the most dire situation.

After my one and only long relationship that failed, I still have the courage to love, or maybe I really don’t have the courage to love anymore. I don’t know. I have met someone tall, slim & beautiful but that’s not what I’m looking for. Physically, she just have to look decent with 2 eyes, 1 nose etc. What really attracts me is that she must have…. I also need someone to support me by… so she needs to have a good… she has to be a nice person so…. there’s one right but she’s not in Singapore… i need a good recharge… so maybe i’ll be better in June…

You will never understand the above paragraph! haha

Anyway, Happy Vesek Day!

AH, I forget to say why having too much time is not good. Having time is good, some portion will be spent alone coz I like to enjoy spending time by myself. Then, there will be time where you need company. If you are free and everyone is working, who can spend time with you? Parents will never be there for you all the time. Siblings will have their own family. Friends will have their own partnership too. There’s only 1 kind of person who can spend your life with. And I don’t have her/any yet.

Singapore is getting really crowded – Part 1: Travelling

It’s really crowded here!
Life in Singapore is indeed getting more fustrating.

Tell me a place where you can go without crowd! People mountain people sea everywhere.

Travelling is not easy. Private transport, go everywhere also jam, later go everywhere also kenna ERP, reach liao then no parking space. MRT lagi jialat, take train also scare it will breakdown and get stuck for hours, the train will tavel slowly if there is no breakdown because of maintance. Bus also jialat. I see everywhere also need to wait for a few buses before we can finally board the bus.

The elites can reach anywhere in Singapore in 20 minutes. Of course la, you have escort or you don’t travel during peak hours. Nowdays ah, even non peak hours also jam jam jam. Once in a while take public transport got what use? I also take public transport once in a while but I feel shiok because I can revert back to driving the next day. Try living without a car and see how you can tahan our first class public transport for years.

I don’t wanna even talk about others.

Children’s learning
In order to teach our children really well, we have to let them explore. Most adults take the easy way out by doing the tasks for them, they don’t learn well this way. Allowing them to explore and learn really take a lot of effort. Are we game enough? I don’t so.

Taking the middle path
In stock market, if you feel happy after profit taking, you will definitely feel sad after cutting loss. Is it really possible to be happy for profit taking and yet you feel nothing for cutting loss? We may be able to have this feeling for a while, but profit taking may become boring after a while also.

We have to be sad before in order to know what’s happiness and vice versa. Is there such thing as a happy life?

Most of us will experience birth, growth, age, sickness and death in our life. It’s just a matter of how long or short the cycle is for each stage. We may get sick early, but then went on to recover and lead a good life thereafter. Some may experience accidental death and skip the  illness cycle.

For my trading experience, it’s all started with experimenting, then I realized that I can get a passive income from trading. It went on to a better lifestyle with bigger earning. Slowly after a few years, I am really feeling no excitement from the stock market anymore. I win more, I lose less, making me profitable overall. I don’t get happy after winning because it doesn’t make a difference to my lifestyle anymore, nor I feel sad after cutting losses because I bound to lose sometimes.

Now, it’s all about imparting this knowledge to others so that we can all have a better lifestyle. When we talk about money, now, if I were to teach you something that you will have a better lifestyle, will you ever forget me in your life? I doubt so. I guess I am materialistic somehow, but most of us are very materialistic, there are more people who are more materialistic than me.

Sometimes, a person can be very tame without power, but the same tame person will get greedy and want more power after receiving some. Why ah?

This is for me to analyze further after meeting more people before I can possibly enlighten myself.

In the most cruical situation, I am always able to stay calm, analyze before I think of my next move/solution. I am glad to be trained this way by life. There is no problem that cannot be solved, or maybe there are. But those are others’ problems, not mine. As long as I don’t sa ren fang huo, there is always a way to work things out, or take some hit. As long as I remain healthy mentally and physically, that is good enough. The losing experience will only make me stronger. If any part of me is loss somehow, it will really depend on what I have lost. If it’s just material stuff, no problem. As long as I earn it before, I will know how to earn it again. If it’s something else, don’t panic nor get depress, get it fixed and move on if possible. If canont, then just make the best out from the worst.

Right now, I am facing some really big obstacle in my life. If I were to lose this battle, my lifestyle will really be affected. How can I win??

I seek help from GY and this is what I receive.

Lot 46

Be patient and do not fall into temptation. To encouter a benefactor is similar to a withered tree blossoming again. It is wise not to crave for more as this will bring trouble. For the present, stick to present state, and keep still.

In a way, which a lot of us will benefit from this advice too, we don’t have to do anything. Remain as where you are. Don’t get stress on what’s coming because we probably cannot change the fact anymore already. Remain calm, remain cool. Don’t ke kiang and do something extra. Just keep still and ship reaches the bridge head, the bridge head will auto straight. Sometimes, nothing will improve if you do nothing.

Let me give 2 example.

1: if you are fat and you want to slim down. You cannot do nothing. You have to do something to slim down.

2: if we are facing a difficulties where we really cannot do anything to change the outcome, don’t get stress over it. Just prepare for the worst outcome and think of way to do what you have to do, if it happens. We can pray for the best too, because we don’t know what surprises our life will present to us next.

Yes, if you can understand everything what I said, you will probably digest what I want to share. Else, ask me out for coffee to find out how you can improve you life.

Striking a balance in life, Joy & don’t lose yourself

At a lunch yesterday, michelle shared with me that she has a friend who achieved MDRT, but later went to quit the industry. The reason for quitting is that she (may be he) felt the stress chasing target all the times. I was pretty puzzled about the whole thing. Quit coz of pressure? Why don’t she takes it easy for a year?

Everyone starts on their journey with a reason. No matter what happen, if you started with a good intention, never lose yourself. You will never achieve everything. There is no way to achieve everything either.

In life, I will nitpick optimisim with flaws and vice versa. This is to remind everyone to strike a balance and don’t lose yourself.

In staying optimistic, I will savour on the good and treat the bad as an experience.

See the link between good/good, bad/bad, good/bad & bad/good here? Follow this and you shall not get too stressed up over unncessary stuff.

If receiving too much already and you don’t feel happy, try giving. The feeling is totally different from receiving. You may be staying in a cosy penthouse, the enjoyment will go away after a while. You may be driving the most expensive sports car, but you will get used to it. Try giving and enrich the life of others and you will be able to see different happy expressions.

Why everytime I blog something about life, the topic and content doesn’t really match 1 ah?
