To My Friends

Seriously, buying those "The Starbucks' success" or "Donald Trump's success story" or "Rich Dad Poor Dad" won't help you become rich. Trust me. Those books are just so full of shit. Seriously.

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and I just couldn't stand it anymore. The first half of the book tells you to invest in Real Estate. Thats all. But of course, with some long winded story to give a visualization of his idea.

The fact is, rich people don't get rich because they read other people's book. They get rich because they made a mistake and they move on. So quit buying these stupid books cos you're making the authors richer. That's all you're doing and you're not helping yourselves.

The sad and obvious truth is. You can only get rich if you know how to make money out of nothing at all, or you work your as out for money and you make money with money after that.
If I could print this statement 1000x and make it into a book, it will be more helpful than buying "sFUCKcess stOFFries".

I came across this online..

The Monkey Trap.

Before long a monkey comes by, sees the banana, reaches his hand into the bottle, and grabs it. But then, the monkey discovers that he can't get his hand out of the bottle while holding onto the banana. There is loud chattering and squealing as the person who set the trap walks up to the monkey and places a burlap sack over him. In the darkness the monkey releases the banana and is captured.

The monkey could, of course, let go of the banana and run before getting caught. Some do. But most of the monkeys hang on to the banana until the sack goes over their head. Why? Because the banana has value to the monkey and the monkey is unwilling to let go of that value. So unwilling that he gives up his life for it. People do the same thing.

Well, the difference between the monkey trap andddd the human trap is.. Around the bottle is a phrase "Social Obligations". So we are reluctant to reach for the money in the bottle.. but its the words surrounding the bottle that attracted us actually... So people... Ultimately, we're not chasing for money. Its our family, friends, colleagues, bosses, enemies, rivals who will give us the half closed eye staring at us with the thought "I knew he couldn't reach for that money".

Theft victim in a coma
18 March, 2008

Kota Kinabalu: A 23-year-old local is in a coma after being knocked down by a car, whose passengers included the person who supposedly stole his mobile phone earlier.

Chong Chen Bon, a salesman, is presently being warded for a serious head injury following the 10.30pm incident at Foh Sang, Sunday.

According to his elder brother, Chong Chau Shen, they had just picked up Chen Bon's girlfriend from work at City Mall and went to Foh Sang for a late dinner, when it happened.

When they reached there, he said, Chen Bon suddenly pointed to a gold-coloured Proton Wira car, claiming the person who stole his mobile phone, when he was at the City Mall area, was in the vehicle.

After they pulled over, Chen Bon alighted from the car and blocked the Wira's path, he said.

"The car suddenly sped off and crashed into my brother," he said, adding Chen Bon was thrown onto the bonnet and fell on the road.

Chau Shen said they immediately called the hospital. A police report was lodged. He appealed to those who saw the Wira's registration plate number to inform the police immediately.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay my last respect for my friend, who has passed away after suffering from a comatose. Anyone who reads my blog, if you come from Sabah, please help to help in passing this news in order to do justice to the deceased.

May you rest in peace.

There are scientists who say life has no real purpose. It's an accident we exist at all, and if we want purpose and meaning in our lives we need to decide that for ourselves. On the other hand, there are religious leaders who say life is for obeying and worshipping a Supreme Being usually called "God." Neither are correct.

In the physical world we learn the alphabet, so we can put letters together to form words. Those who master large numbers of words can communicate quickly and efficiently with others. Research has shown the bigger the vocabulary, the better the chance one has to become "successful."

In the spirit world it is our thoughts we learn about. The physical world provides a classroom for us. Here we see our thoughts in action, our hopes and desires, as well as our fears unfolding before us even as we think about them. Thought translates into reality, in the physical world, how fast this happens depends on the intensity and frequency of the thought. "We reap what we sow." is truth.
