My Favourite Mentor, Jim Rohn

Hi all,

In year 2002, a friend of mine went to Jim Rohn's Seminar. When he came back, he kept talking about him, how amazing the seminar and how inspired he was! That was the very first time i heard of the name.


So i borrowed a set of Jim Rohn's cds from this friend, "Fundamentals of Exceptional Living" and since that day, I was hooked! I keep repeating the 6 cds, and when i bought my first car 2 years ago, i played them in my car over and over and over again everyday! Once in a while when i bought other cds, i will play them, but i keep coming back and play this 6 cds. A rough estimation, i think i have listened to them for well over 200 times! But everytime i listen to
them again, it never fails to inspire me, to give me new ideas and encourage me to propel forward!


One of my greatest wish is to attend Jim Rohn's live seminar, to shake his hand and take photos with him, and tells him how his cds has changed my life!


I will end today's blog with an article from his ezine.

The Ant Philosophy by Jim Rohn

Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants. They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.

An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice? Because it is important to think ahead. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun.

The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.

Wow, what a great philosophy to have - the ant philosophy. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Johnny Wimbrey in Singapore Part II

Hi all,


Today i will carry on with part 2 of Johnny's seminar in Singapore!


After listening to many personal development cds, watching many dvds and reading their books, the chance to finally see one of them in person is simply .. AWESOME!!


Johnny is someone who is very charismatic, passionate and friendly! I do not feel intimidated to walk up to him to talk and took photos.




Today i will share the rest of the notes that i managed to scribble down in my journal.


5. Adversity causes some people to break but it costs to other people to be record breaker.

Personally I like this one. Everybody goes through ups and downs in their life. The only different between those who are successful and those who are not is what they do
about it!!


6. Your greatest enemy in life is Inner-Me!

I remembered a saying that goes, "If you think that you will not make it, you are right. If you think that you can make it, you are probably right too!" Whether you succeed or not is totally depends on ourselves! Our inner voice is 100 times more powerful than outside voices.

If someone tells you that you are a loser, and you accept it, you will be a loser. But if you said "NO! I am a winner" then you will be a winner! You determine who you are!


7. You are the author of your story!

I like the way Johnny put it. We are the author of our story! We write our own script!! When something happens to us, how we react will determine how our story develope!! Problems, disappoinments, disasters happened to everybody, but there are people who emerge
victor and people who become victims! Whether we are victor or victim totally depends on how we respond! We write the script of our own life!


8. Responsibility - The ability to respond.

Responsibility is the ability to respond. Only if we can respond to problem, then we are able to solve it. If we choose to ignore or avoid it, then we are not responsible!





That's it for today. I will end today's blog with my personal favourite quote from Jim Rohn.


"If you work hard on your job, you will make a living.
If you
work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune!!"

Johnny Wimbrey in Singapore

Hi all,


As promised, tonight i will be talking about Johnny Wimbrey Seminar I have attended last friday.


Johnny is our Success University International Trainer, and he has shared the same stage with the greatest speakers on this planet in the like of Jim Rohn and Les Brown. His speech is powerful and inspiring.


Johnny and Me!!


Would like to share some of the inspiring stuff that Johnny shared with us that night.


1. Success leaves clues, so do failure!

If a person is successful in his life, we will know. Because Success leaves clue. What he has done in the past makes him who he is today! Same for failure, if a person is a failure, we would have
seen the clues in his actions.

So to become successful or failure depends on what we do!



2. Successful people do things people don't and becomes tomorrow what people won't.

A successful person will do things that normal people will not want to do. Example, while most people are out in the mall or resting at home during weekend, successful people attend seminars, work their business or attend courses these times.


3. Winning starts from within.

To win, we must work on our belief, our mind. Winning starts from within. In order to win, we must keep on improving ourselves.


4. Repetition is the mother of all skills.

As the title suggest, to become skillful in anything, repetition is the key. We keep repeating and repeating until we perfect the skill.




There are more to share which i will continue tomorrow! It is a great experience to see Johnny in person, took a photo with him, and have him authograph on his book "From Hood to
Doing Good".


So stay tune for part 2 of Johnny Wimbrey in Singapore!

Overcoming Procastination

Hi all,


From the last post, you guys can see that i have not posted for a long time.


I have been thinking everyday, telling myself to post here, but some how i just always found some reasons and excuses not to come in!!!


Perhaps it is the commitment, the thought of writing everyday scares me!! Or maybe it is just pure prcastination! No matter what, I am glad that i am getting my focus back!


Personally I am some what a perfectionist. Whenever i have decided to do something, i always want it to be perfectly done. When i decided to start this blog, I read up all the guides, tips and tricks to make it the best. And i only wanted to launch this blog when all the methods i have learnt are applied. All the keywords, RSS feeds, pinging, sales pages to link to this blog, and all the other stuff!! But as there are just too many things to do, slowly and surely, i stopped and this blog is still in my closet!!


Now i have realised that, i will never be able to launch my blog if i want it to be perfect, as it will never be able to perfect! So the key is to just launch it!! Then improve along the way.


Now my goal is to come in and write something everyday! I wanted to cultivate the habit of writing blog on a consistant daily basis. I have so much information to share with all of
you, I'm sure you will find this blog full of useful information.


Do remember to bookmark my blog!


I will be back tomorrow and i will be talking about Jonny Wimbrey!! I have just attended his seminar and there are so many things about him that i wanted to share with you!


See you tomorrow!


Cheers!!
