If you were to throw a stone & check how many people are capable in doing ANY job given. I can tell you the answer - MANY ARE CAPABLE ! Simply because SKILL can be trained. KNOWLEDGE can be imparted.

Many successful people and even books can tell you what to do in order to be success. But why they are still many more people (more than 90%) of the people are not living in purpose & passion? All these people are really capable & if you were to ask them if they can do the job, they will tell you - THEY CAN DO IT !

But the question here is, HOW MANY ARE WILLING ?

Capability is one thing. Willingness is another thing. I rather choose someone who are willing to work in my organization than someone that is just Capable. Capable & Able to perform the task are important but at the end of the day, it is the ATTITUDE & WILLINGNESS that count. You can be very good, but if you are not willing to take the action & DO IT, NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!

So I strongly encourage you to do everything willingly!

You will have different perspective to look into your own life & start to appreciate others’ life better.

It has been awhile since I last updated the blog. How’s everyone? Been getting lots of enquiry on what I am doing currently. Thanks for all the concerns, I am doing good and just that I was busy with my sister’s wedding  & also a few Entrepreneurship Projects. Been spending most of my time at Simply White Fashion Cafe & LifeSenses Beauty & Spa Collection. If you happen to be around Kuchai Lama, do pay me a visit & I’ll buy you a drink.

Recently, I posted on my facebook status - REJECT THE FACTS & CHOOSE THE TRUTH! Many had requested me to share with them further on the above thoughts.

THE FACTS - Looking at our current situation. Just by looking at the newspaper - I am sure you’ll agree with me that we are overflooded with NEGATIVE news. And my brother in law, Marc just reminded me on what Mark Victor Hansen commented on CNN (stands for CONSTANT NEGATIVE NEWS).

If we are constantly surrounded by all these news - how can we achieve a breakthrough? It is is really tough. The only way that we can re-look at the situation is by REJECTING THE FACTS. What I simply means is that we do not dwell into it or join in the NEGATIVE Conversation. Of course we can’t stop the NEWS to come to us but we can CHOOSE to live the life we want and we can CHOOSE the type of Information that we want to download to our daily life.

By looking at our current situation, nothing seems to be good. But are we giving up or striving for solutions? If you are about to GIVE UP or feel tired in whatever that you are doing now - You are JUST ACCEPTING THE FACTS. If you are striving for SOLUTIONS and always looking at the Positive Windows - You are REJECTING THE FACTS & not submitting to the current situation to control your destiny.

THE TRUTH - to put it in a simple way is the kind of life that you are longing for. The kind of Project, the kind of LifeStyle, the kind of Relationship and many more that you can imagine. You want to fulfill the desire of your heart, doesnt you? I always tell participants who take part in Zeros to Heros Workshop that LIFE IS A CHOICE! It is really up to us how we want to live it .

So starting from today onwards, REJECT THE FACTS & CHOOSE THE TRUTH (Desire of Your Heart) !

Not just do what you passionate about but BE PASSIONATE in EVERYTHING you DO!

Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent

What can you learn from watching show like this?

You must watch Susan Boyle live on YouTube, click here

I do not know about you - it just touched my life.

To me, it does not matter on how much you try to impress people with your outlook. The key thing is how prepared are you.

It is so important to build a good & solid foundation - it means to know your BASIC extremely well. It is painful at the beginning but you will enjoy much fruit at the end of the day.

Like Susan Boyle in Britain Got Talent 2009 - she has prepared herself for the past 40 years for this one single opportunity to arise and shine.

Success is not a destiny, it is a journey.

When asked by the judge - what is her dream?

She said, “I try to be a Professional Singer” (everyone was laughing)

& the judge asked again - “Why it has not worked all these while?” -

She said, ” I’ve not got this chance before…”

Wow - it means to me - She is prepared! She is ready! She just need a CHANCE !

The horse is prepared for the day of battle!

I suggest you to view the video again and get yourself ready for something big! Are you ready for it? Many people has asked for miracle to happen in their life - but sad to say - most of them are not ready!

When you are ready and keep improving what you are doing right now - you will be expecting miracle soon!

Have you ever come to a situation that you feel frustrated and hopeless and do not know what to do? You tried your very best to overcome the situation but still nothing seems to happen. You became tired!

We cannot control the situation, but we can control how we react to the situation. Many times, many things are just out of control and we feel lost & hopeless. But if we can just learn how to choose our attitude toward each situation - our life will just change in a speed of a second.

Believe it or not, the secret of a happy heart is filling our mind with thoughts that are true, pure and lovely, with thoughts that dwell on the good things in life.

The key thing is “to dwell on the good things in life” - we have to continue to stay & enjoy the presence of goodness and joy instead of focusing on the darkest side of an issue. What we feed our minds is just as important as what we feed our bodies. The kinds of books we read, the people we talk with, the music we listen to, and the films we watch are all part of our mental diet.

Life is a choice. Instead of staying sad - choose to stay happy. Instead of staying poor - choose to stay wealthy. Instead of thinking negative - choose to think positive.

In this time of financial crisis, it is so easy to just blame the economy and the government and just live with the situation. Yeah, nothing can stop us to have the “poor economy” but we can choose to live differently. I strongly believe at this time of difficulty, there is always a way out - and it is a strong way.

When many assume now is a bad time - there are many more choose to believe now is the best time for breakthrough in life. Imagine what will happen when you are able to sustain and live courageously at this time. You will come out stronger than you have ever imagined.

Stop blaming ! Start Living!

I have a very closed friend who told me that my written english is really bad. And my speaking english just so-so.

Yeah, of course, she told me after reading my blog.

What can i say? I replied.”Yeah, that’s me!”.

It is not that i am proud of my broken english, it is just that i am being myself. The way I write in this blog is the same way that you see me speaking to friends and even in my workshops. You might be asking me now, aint i have to improve myself? I am definitely improving myself each and everyday. I guess those who know me realize this changes.

Just Be Yourself

You must be wondering why i wrote this article. I should’nt be condenming myself and let the whole world know that i am not good right? Well, to me - humility and honesty are very important, especially I am using this blog to express myself to my reader. I am sure you want me to be as direct as possible. This is exactly the same thing that you will expect when you meet up with me or perhaps attending my training workshop.

What i have learnt is when someone told you about your weakness, do the followings:

1. Admit it !

2. Ponder about it and be humble to take up the challenge to CHANGE !

3. Be teachable & Improve it each & everyday !

I have done my part. What about you? Have anyone told you about your weaknesses? Let me be very frank with you, people will normally tell you the RIGHT answer but NOT the TRUE answer!

It’s time to challenge your fellow friends to be TRUE & HONEST with you.

Encourage them to tell you the TRUTH!

Once they open up their heart and tell you - be GRATEFUL as not many are DARE TO STAND UP!

Whatever it is, just relax & have an open mind !

Remember - Just be Yourself!

How many books do you read in a year?

I know a friend who read 1 book per week and ended up reading 52 books in a year! To me that is fantastic. To be frank, I bought 52 books a year but did not even finish reading them yet (but i am still buying books every now and then).

To me is not so much of finishing the book, it is very much for reference, especially you need to find some important facts / information to support your work / study. Many times, books really help me to get the accurate information - of course no doubt - the internet helps alot too.

I strongly believe we should not just read the book, we got to study the book. Here are some guidelines that i have used when i read book and hope it will be helpful to you too.

1. Write down the expectation that I want to get out of the book.

2. Read the introduction / how to use the book guide / preface / wor from the author - AGAIN & AGAIN till you are familiar with what the book is all about. Many people will jump straight to the topic that they want but i still find that it might not be helpful till we understand exactly what this book is all about (not just the surface but really know what this book want to deliver). This is as important as laying a good foundation in anything we do.

3. Study chapter by chapter and list down the followings along the way you study. I will normally have a note book beside me to jot down things specially for things that i study. These are the things that I will jot down:

A) Action Check List - I will list down what the Author asked me to do and try it out immediately

B) Key Phrases - these are the Word of Wisdoms from the Author. One of my favorite Key Phrases is “HOW YOU DO ANYTHING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING” by T.Harv Eker. Another one is “IT IS NOT WHAT YOU DO, IT IS HOW YOU DO” by Stephen Pierce.

4. Practise it ! Like what Stephen Covey said “TO KNOW AND NOT TO DO, IS REALLY NOT TO KNOW”. I have found one article on Stephen Covey “8th Habit - From Effectiveness to Greatness” and you might want to read it too at http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/22369.htm. It is another good book that I recommend.

I hope the above guide will benefit you the next time you read (study) a book.

There is another way that you might want to consider in order to get the full benefits out of a book instead of reading the entire book is to get yourself a BREVITY MEMBERSHIP. I have got mine and it really helps alot.

Is there something bothering you?

Or shall I say is there a burden in your heart that you felt so much attached to?

And the worse thing is that you have been longing to do it but just do not have the time for it … or you might be worry about the end results, the failure, the criticism, all sort of inferiority and negative feedbacks!

You know the best answer for all these is that we just WORRY TOO MUCH!

Life is short and there is so much thing that we need to do and achieve. Sometimes, I would just feel that time is running too fast and yet I have achieved so little … upon the reflection for year 2008, things had just be as normal as it should be .. and I could say i have improved alot for the entire last year too but there is still deep in my heart that I seriously need a breakthrough this year!

Do you need a breakthrough too?

If Yes - CONGRATULATIONS! Let’s go deeper…

If “No” or “Not Yet” or “Not Now” or “You are just doing fine” - CONGRATULATIONS TOO! It is time for you to really look into this seriously. Perhaps you have not think about it yet. It is NOW!

You will feel so much of peace once you have done what you need to do after those feelings had been bothering you (or keep prompting you to do it but you just procastinate or ignore it) for quite some time.

I had just sent an email asking for a partnership that I have been longing for the past 2 years but I have no courage to say it out or even ask for it. Deep inside my heart i wanted it so much but yet it is just like too much of imagination. It would be like a WOW to me if this project is on!

What about yourself? Is there a project or business or deals that you wanted so much but you have no courage to go forward? Or is there someone that you need to speak to but you have no courage to bring up the topic?

Now here are the steps that I would like to suggest:

1. Take a deep breath and close your eye now!

2. What come out immediately in your mind? That is the thing that you need to do RIGHT NOW!

3. Take a step out and JUST DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO to start it off.

Many people just worry too much and nothing great has ever been accomplished so far .. if you are having the same feeling - JUST DO IT!

Year 2009 is a YEAR OF GREA A A A A A A TTT  FAVOR !

Claim it and it will be yours!

I was in the badminton game today and it was the last game after playing 6 games for the last 2 hours. This final game, I decided to challenge myself. All these while in my badminton team, there are 2 person that are considered very good and once if they partner together, there will be no chance for the rest to beat them.

So I decided to challenge both of them today.

One of the player laughed and asked me “Are you sure?”

Without hesitate, I replied, “Yes!”.

My partner was shocked as I dont think he believe that we can beat them.

Well, whats on my mind was “Why Not? If Not Now, When?”

I can choose to keep waiting week after week and keep saying that I am not ready. Is that going to help? So I decided to do it NOW!

I have fixed my mind that I want to WIN in this game. Despite none of the other members think that we can win, I still strongly believe that we can.

Well, to cut the story short, we finally WON the game!

How many times that in the eyes of many that you are not capable of doing a certain task? I bet most of the time, we find that it is quite tough to deal with those inferior feeling. No matter how good you are, there will be something that we are not good at and deep inside out heart we wanted so much to improve ourselves.

One of the strategy that you can use to deal with this challenge is to use the “Power of Confession”. It does not matter whether you are capable of doing it or not - you just have to keep confessing and believing that you can do it.

You might be asking “Is that so simple?” - YES! You will start to see miracles start to happen in your life the moment you start to confess those positive words and STOP focusing on the problems.

Keep your mouth SHUT if you used to say words like “I dont think I can do it”, “This is just beyond my ability”, “You can lor, I cant”, “Die lor”, “Shit” “Damn It”, “I just feel like giving up”, “I hate doing this”!

Start confessing words like “I can do it”, “This is simple”, “Interesting”, “I want to take this challenge”, “I love this task”, “Hallelujah”, “I believe I can”, “If they can do it, why not me?”, “Nothing is too difficult for me”!

Always remember “You should not be moved by feeling alone, in everything you do - Focus on the Solution instead of the Problem!”

I believe the most exciting event to kick start for year 2009 will be the Malaysia’s Largest Youth Lifestyle Festival.

This year, I have decided not to take part as an exhibitor because i missed a lot of funs last year for not taking part in those exciting activities …

I will be there this year to enjoy the activities.

Check out the schedule at http://youthmalaysia.com/youth09/schedule.php

Click the banner below & be part of this Exciting Event of the Year!

Will see if we can catch up with each another during the festival!

As we are approaching Year 2009, i believe many of us are taking this special moment to reflect upon our life for the entire year of 2008. 

What have you been achieving for the past 1 year? Is there anything significant that you have done for your life? 

I suggest you to take a moment to list down your “ACHIEVEMENT” for 2008. Yeah, only the “achievement” or success”. Forget about the failure for the time being. It is no longer important. It’s over. Stop focusing on it and blaming yourself for not doing what you suppose to do.

The important thing now is to do what you need to do - that’s why the entire planning for year 2009 is so important. 

I have come across this program from Dave Dee and I would like to share with you the simple Ultimate Success System that he has laid out …

He has used this system to increase his profif by 1000%. He even paid off his $ 14,000 credit card debts, bought a new house, a new car and started to earn the kind of money that he used to earn in a year in a month. Wow! That’s amazing isn’t? 

The 5 key system are :

1. Know Your Outcome

2. Get the Knowledge that you need

3. Plan Your Action

4. Manage Your Time (He prefer to call it Manage Your Outcome)

5. Test, Monitor & Adjust 

I personally find Step 3 & 4 very much important and I highly suggest you to take a closer look at it. 

Thanks to Dave Dee for offering the complete system for FREE over here as he used to sell this for $14.95.
