Personal Development: My Journey To Living An Exceptional Life

Use Blogger At Your Own Risks! Now I Learned My Lesson!

2008-04-07T13:13:00.005+08:00

Hi Guys,

My blog has been down for a few weeks.

I would like to share what happened...

I was using ftp for my blog all these while, and the restrictions for using ftp is, I will not be able to use widgets, the new blogger theme and all those stuffs unless I made changes directly to the html codes.. which I have been doing...

But few weeks back I decided I would like to switch my blog from ftp to custom domain so that I can fully utilize the features available. That was when the nightmare begins...

To use custom domain, I need to change the cname of my domain to point to google, which I did after getting my host support to do it (I am using hostgator and I cannot change myself)

But when I tried to switch over to custom domain, it gave the error message "Another blog is already hosted at this address". Initially I thought I did something wrong with the cname, but after checking with the blogger forum, I realised this is a very famous BUG of blogger.

I tried all the workaround given in the forum but all not working.. so I decided to send a support ticket to Blogger.. guessed what.. I cannot find the link to send in any ticket! After spending almost half an hour, finally from a forum post I found the link (YES, I found the link through a forum post) and understand from them that Google makes it extremely hard for users to send them support tickets, because they do not want to do the support!

At least I found the link, and after going through a series of questions and clicking, where certain clicks leads you to dead ends (Yes, it tells you to go to their support help group, etc.. so you cannot send them emails!) finally i got to send them an email. Things should be settled now that Google finally got to know about the bug right? WRONG!!

Imagine how disgusted I feel when I received their autorespond email that actually says, they will not reply my ticket unless they have questions to ask me! If I have problems, go to their blogger help group (their forum) to get help!! And they kept to their words, I have tried sending 2 tickets over 2 weeks, and until today they never reply and they never do anything.

So I was left with no choice but to go to the forum and posted my problem and asked for help on the bug. Well 5 days after my first post, finally 1 employee decided he is too bored playing with his online game and decided to reply my post (which means since my domain cname is already redirected, my blog was already down for 5 days.. I cannot change back the cname, or else the employee will simply tells me that I did not change my cname and i will be wasting more time)

Guess what that fellow said? He said he has solved all the problems regarding the famous "Another blog..." bug, and asks me to give him my domain url if it still doesn't work.. And it still doesn't work, and I have already written my domain url in my previous posts.. So no choice, I replied with my domain and asks him to help look into it again.. of coz until today (about 3 weeks) he never reply again...

I waited for 1 week plus (by then my blog was already down for over 2 weeks) ... sending 2 support tickets and many forum posts, without getting any help from Google.. and enough is enough.. I asked my host to remove the cname to Google and I revert back to ftp to write this post (temporary).. I have decided to switch all my blogs to Wordpress .. Blogger is free doesn't mean we should be treated like dirt..

This is the first time I experience the notorious Customer Support of Google.. or the Non-Existence support they provide.. And when I was seeking help in the forum, I realised there are thousands of posts unanswered that dated back months and years..

And a big WARNING to all who intends to purchase domain name through Blogger for the custom domain.. if you read through all the posts, there are a lot of users who paid Google the $10, and received the famous bug, and for months the problems are not solved. Which means they paid $10 for 12 months usage of the domain, and many ended up many months not able to use at all.. and the advices from the forum are.. keep sending Google support tickets, ONE DAY they will see your ticket and respond!!! And that may be months later...

Okay.. I am going to leave this post here until i finished my other wordpress blog, then I will figure how to switch over to wordpress.. but since i am using ftp.. most likely I will lost all my previous posts.. but perhaps it is a good thing.. I will repost everything 1 by 1, do a review at the same time.. until then... be careful of Blogger from Google!

GOAL33 - The Subject That Isn't Taught At School

2008-03-10T23:37:00.004+08:00

Have received this email from Bob Proctor. He has developed a program for young people age 10-19 where they can learn goals achieving skills and improving areas of their life.

Instead of selling it as orginally planned, Bob has decided to Pay It Forward and give it away Free! Please spread the words and let more young people benefits from this good gesture!

Cheers!

I have a VERY BIG announcement to share with you - and your teenagers - today.

Many of you have been asking me for years to offer a program especially designed for our youth - a program that will teach this powerful information in a way that they will enjoy - the information they don't learn in school but which will make all the difference in their results!

I've been working with a couple of very special people, Renate van Dijken and Joost Oolders. They have spent years doing research and developing an online, interactive coaching program especially designed for teenagers. We have collaborated and created a phenomenal product - GOAL33.

Originally, it was going to be offered on a paid subscription basis for $24.95/month. But then, just recently, my grandson, Danny Proctor, was interviewed by the Toronto Star and in the very last line of that article, Michel Ferrari, an associate professor at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education said, "If this program is designed well and used well, it could be helpful. Though, in an ideal world, you wouldn't have to pay for it."

Well, that struck a chord in me. You see, my purpose in launching this program is to literally change the results of millions of teenagers globally. So I've decided to give GOAL33 away for free! We want every teenager to freely enjoy the benefits.

GOAL33 is appropriate for young people ages 10 - 19 years of age. It provides coaching on goal achieving and improving the quality of their life and delivers it in a format they appreciate and are familiar using - in a safe online environment with coaching videos, mp3 files and interactive coaching tools.

This is our gift to you and your teens. Go to: http://www.goal33.com/ now and subscribe your teenager in this program right away so he or she can begin seeing immediate results, higher marks in school, well-defined career choices, better results in sports, improved relationships with their family and in their social life - GOAL33 leads the way.

I'm excited about what's gone into this program and I'm sure you will be too.

Don't delay - subscribe your teenager now at: http://www.goal33.com/

Sincerely,

Bob Proctor

PS. If you don't have teens but know of someone who does and could benefit from this, please feel free to forward this message to them.

Get Unplugged!

2008-03-05T15:03:00.002+08:00

This is the March etips from Goals-2-Go from Vic Johnson. Like this article, because this is what I am doing right now. I am starting a new routine to jog every week, and to play my basketball games twice a week.

I feel great after a workout, and love the feeling of having a fresh and clearer mind! So get unplugged and go for a walk ya!

Cheers! :D

Critical factors in goal achievement are your physical health and mental well-being.

The seasons are changing. For some of us winter is almost over and we are seeing early signs of spring. While on the other side of the world you may be enjoying summer and heading into fall.

We spend so much of our lives indoor, in front of our computers, in our homes and offices. LOTS of air conditioning! It is time for some OUTSIDE conditioning. Yes, it does take effort to get up earlier, or plan a to eat lunch in the park, or take your walking or jogging attire with you so that you can get on the hike and bike trail. Yes, effort. But isn't that what you have been doing with Goals 2008?

Change your scenery. Getting outdoors allows you to clean out those cobwebs in your mind. It gives you fresh air and sunshine (which translates to Vitamin D in your body). It's an incentive to MOVE. It gives you a different physical space, scents, sights and sounds on this journey.

The RESULTS: an increase in energy, creativity, health, and optimism.

"Walking is man's best medicine." - Hippocrates

Do something different. Change your routine. Get Unplugged ... from your phone, from your computer, from your wireless device!
Go for a walk, a jog, a run or go biking.
Take your dog with you. Take your children with you. They will LOVE it.
Do you drive everywhere? Trying walking ... with your children to the bus stop, with your significant other, for a meeting with your co-workers.
Be a fan! Attend a sporting event.
Are you a player? Join a baseball, softball, tennis or volleyball team.
Do you have a laptop? Take it outside and work ... work at your favorite coffeehouse or café.
Take your Goals 2008 Action Planner outside!
Do something you have thought about doing ... like a 5K walk or run, a triathlon, okay a marathon! It may benefit a charity too
Bring the outside in...OPEN your windows!

Get moving! Buy a pedometer. Double your steps each day until you reach your new goal of 10,000 steps per day. You will be a healthier you!

You will be surprised at what you discover. Physical health and mental well-being are not 'extras' - they are fundamental building blocks that keep you at your peak so you can achieve all your dreams!

You are what you believe. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Where Do I Begin? - Love Story

2008-03-04T08:44:00.004+08:00

Received this beautiful story from Facebook - "Sweet Video of the Week" and would love to share it with all of you :)

Told as a flashback, this is an uncomplicated love story between two star-crossed lovers-students, Harvard pre-law hockey player Oliver Barrett IV (Ryan O'Neal) and Radcliffe music student Jenny Cavilleri (Ali MacGraw). Oliver narrates the opening line of the film, looking back:

What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loved Mozart and Bach, the Beatles, and me?

The film's two most touching and remembered scenes are their prolonged kissing scene and the montage of the couple tossing snowballs at each other. After meeting many obstacles and making sacrifices, she is diagnosed as terminally ill when she is tested for pregnancy, and dies in his arms at the hospital in a tear-inducing closing. he makes a last request of him: "You, after all - you're going to be a merry widower." "I won't be merry," he responds. She replies: "Yes, you will be. I want you to be merry. You'll be merry, okay?"

In the final scene, Oliver quotes his late wife, when speaking to his father about their past misunderstandings. After his father tells him he's sorry that she has died, Oliver responds in the last memorable line of the film, quoting an earlier remark of Jenny's:
Love means never having to say you're sorry.

The Perspective Song

2008-02-23T12:51:00.001+08:00

Another inspiring story to teach us to look at things in another way. I like this story because I often tell myself to look at things another way, but many times I am emotionally and mentally so affected that I refused to do so! Yes, I wanted to get angry about it!

Wouldn't it be nice to have more friends like the truck driver in our life? :D

The Perspective Song

One day, not long ago, I decided to re-send the attitude-changing philosophy in "A Course in Miracles." Three years before, in its simple to follow lesson-a-day, the Course had helped me cultivate new levels of inner peace. I figured I could use more of the same. Within the first few weeks, I came upon a lesson that showed me I'd figured well.

The lesson was: "There is another way of looking at this." The idea is to apply the lesson as often as possible throughout the day, to whatever situation is before you.

Okay, I thought. Simple enough. I'll go apply "There is another way of looking at this," to my day. No problem.

The trouble with this was that every situation I faced that day was challenging. And there was not another darn way to look at things. Thank you very much.

From a crashed computer to people not being available on the phone, to running out of shampoo in the middle of a shower, my day was filled with frustrations. It held little, if any, opportunity for me to look at things anew. And no New Age self-help affirmation was going to convince me otherwise!

So I pulled on my panty hose, zipped up my dress, dried my un-shampooed wet hair, and left for an appointment that was only 20 minutes away. Or so I thought.

Okay, the traffic is always crazy at the end of a workday. But I did not expect a bumper-to-bumper gridlock in the middle of the afternoon. Sitting there in my car, I did my best to repeat the day's lesson to myself, hoping that I could find "another way of looking at this" freeway parking lot.

After an eternity, I decided there was no way out and that I'd be better off letting go of my plans and forgetting about making the appointment on time. One cell phone call later, assuring my colleague that I'd meet her the following day instead, I sat back in the car to wait things out.

As I did, something caught my attention at the side of the road. Pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway was an old, yellow, Ford pickup truck. It was lopsided. When I looked closer, I could see that the front tire was as flat as the plains of Texas. Since I wasn't moving anywhere, I had plenty of time to stare.

The driver of the truck was sitting on the rusted and beat up tailgate. He was a young man with a ponytail, wore well-splattered painter's pants and a matching, torn t-shirt. While waiting for a tow truck, or perhaps some divine intervention, he had pulled out his guitar and looked to be moving his mouth as if in song.

I rolled down my window. He was singing at the top of his lungs. My mouth hung open as I saw the peace on his face.

He'd found "another way of looking at this." His music made me smile. His attitude cleared the traffic jam in my head.

I think he understood the lesson for the day. And finally, so did I.

Today I celebrated my 1st Valentines Day with Vivian as my girlfriend. I gave her a little pleasant surprise, and I'm glad that she is very happy =D

Its been a while since I have shared a story from Jim Rohn, and today's story is very nice for Valentines Day. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do, and I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Valentines Day :)

Cheers!

The Rose by Jim Rohn

(This is our special Jim Rohn "Valentines Day" article... A favorite and often requested article by our readers, Jim talks about living life with flair and creating a unique lifestyle. Let's join Jim as he reminds us to put some life and uniqueness into our living...)

Lifestyle is style over amount. And style is an art - the art of living. You can't buy style with money. You can't buy good taste with money. You can only buy more with money. Lifestyle is culture - the appreciation of good music, dance, art, sculpture, literature, plays and the art of living well. It's a taste for the fine, the unique, the beautiful.

Lifestyle also means rewarding excellence wherever you find it by not taking the small things of life for granted. With Valentine's Day approaching I wanted to illustrate this with a personal anecdote:

Many years ago my lady friend and I were on a trip to Carmel, California for some shopping and exploring. On the way we stopped at a service station. As soon as we parked our car in front of the pumps, a young man, about eighteen or nineteen, came bouncing out to the car and with a big smile said, "Can I help you?"

"Yes," I answered. "A full tank of gas, please." I wasn't prepared for what followed. In this day and age of self-service and deteriorating customer treatment, this young man checked every tire, washed every window - even the sunroof - singing and whistling the whole time. We couldn't believe both the quality of service and his upbeat attitude about his work.

When he brought the bill I said to the young man, "Hey, you really have taken good care of us. I appreciate it." He replied, "I really enjoy working. It's fun for me and I get to meet nice people like you."

This kid was really something!

I said, "We're on our way to Carmel and we want to get some milkshakes. Can you tell us where we can find the nearest Baskin-Robbins?"

"Baskin-Robbins is just a few blocks away," he said as he gave us exact directions. Then he added, "Don't park out front - park around to the side so your car won't get sideswiped."

What a kid!

As we got to the ice cream store we ordered milkshakes, except that instead of two, we ordered three. Then we drove back to the station. Our young friend dashed out to greet us. "Hey, I see you got your milkshakes."

"Yes, and this one is for you!"

His mouth fell open. "For me?"

"Sure. With all the fantastic service you gave us, I couldn't leave you out of the milkshake deal."

"Wow!" was his astonished reply.

As we drove off I could see him in my rear-view mirror just standing there, grinning from ear to ear.

Now, what did this little act of generosity cost me? Only about two dollars - you see, it's not the money, it's the style.

Well, I must have been feeling especially creative that day, so on our arrival in Carmel I drove directly to a flower shop. As we walked inside I said to the florist, "I need a long-stemmed rose for my lady to carry while we go shopping in Carmel."

The florist, a rather unromantic type, replied, "We sell them by the dozen."

"I don't need a dozen," I said, "just one."

"Well," he replied haughtily, "it will cost you two dollars."

"Wonderful," I exclaimed. "There's nothing worse than a cheap rose."

Selecting the rose with some deliberation, I handed it to my friend. She was so impressed! And the cost? Two dollars. Just two dollars. A bit later she looked up and said, "Jim, I must be the only woman in Carmel today carrying a rose." And I believe she probably was.

Can you imagine the opportunity to create magic with those around you, and all for the cost of a few dollars, some imagination and care. Remember, it is not the amount that matters but the thought and care that often has the greatest impact upon those you love.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Running Your Own Race

2008-02-10T00:37:00.000+08:00

Today I like to share a story from Jill Koenig. I fully agreed with "Running Your Own Race". Many times, I compared myself with others, how much they earn, what they have achieved, and how lucky they always seem to be and felt demoralized!

Often, I forgot that we are competing with different goals, some times even different races!

Do not get discouraged when others are doing better, what's more important is, did we achieve the goal we set for ourselves? What others have achieved is what we can aim for, but for now, focus on our immediate achievable goal!

Running Your Own Race

Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work the water station at a 10k race. It was called the "Heaven Can Wait" 10k run and ironically, it was sponsored by the local cemetery.

My job was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran
past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people
doing it, I thought maybe I can do it too!

So the next year I signed up for the race and gave it a shot. Back then I didn't do much to prepare except jog around my neighborhood. I never tracked how far I jogged, or timed myself, I just ran around. I had no time goals for the race, no specialized training, no game plan, nothing. Needless to say that I prepare differently when I run races today, but back then my only goal was to finish.

On the day of the race, it was incredibly hot and humid. I remember struggling at about the 5th mile, thinking, "I must be crazy, why did I do this? What was I thinking? And at one point, I said, "I am never doing this again!"

Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly undertake a goal and in the midst of it comes a moment of struggle, and you realize it is much harder than you imagined it would be?

That first 10k race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn't know if I could finish. Then came a defining moment.

At one point near the end, a 70 year old man ran past me, very very fast, and I felt embarrassed that I was 50+ years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine.

He had different capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had
mine. Remember my goal was merely to finish.

How often in life do we compare ourselves to others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn't? After a minute, it hit me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration.

I decided that I would not give up on running races, in fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare properly and one day I would be one of those 70 year olds who was still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment.

I am so glad I didn't give up on running. Today it is an incredible source of joy in my
life. I have run several races since then, 5ks, 10ks and I run purely for fun. I
have studied running books, made friendships with other runners and I can report
that I love it now more than ever.

In life we all have those moments where we compare ourselves to others. It's only natural. Don't allow those moments to disempower you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible. Every struggle is rich with opportunity. You define your own race when you define your own goals.

With the proper preparation, coaching and conditioning, you can improve your results to achieve anything you want in life.

The impact of fitness and nutrition on my life has been remarkable. I can do things now that I could not even do in my 20's all because of coaching, proper nutrition and conditioning.

You decide your race and you decide your own pace. Rarely in life will your destiny
be determined by one little race.

"Success is a peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable." - Coach John Wooden

Life is a series of races. There are lessons in every race. There are life lessons to be learned every single day. If you don't win the race, but you get the lesson, and grow,
you are truly a success.

Live Your Dreams.

Bring Health in your Life with the Law of Attraction

2008-02-09T00:15:00.000+08:00

-------------------------------------------------------------
The following article was provided by
Consumer Health Advocate Frank Mangano
-------------------------------------------------------------

Bring Health in your Life with the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is a concept which has been around for many
years and applied in collaboration with many different actions and
events in life. It is the concept of controlling certain aspects of
your life with the power of your mind. The Law of Attraction has
always been a very controversial topic with many believers and just
as many non-believers. It can be quite simple to test the Law of
Attraction and see for yourself if your dominant thoughts find a
way to manifest in your life and everyday events.

Using the Law of Attraction to bring health and a more natural side
of life into your everyday routine is something more and more
people are interested in. Many people find it so difficult to stay
on a healthy path with so many fad diets, fast food restaurants and
junk food for sale everywhere you go. Using the Law of Attraction
in your everyday life can significantly help you when it comes to
your health goals. First, you must understand that it is your full
and honest belief in this system which provides the results you are
looking for. If you have doubts or are not sure about the Law of
Attraction than you cannot expect results.

To fully understand the Law of Attraction it is important to think
of everyone and every thing in the universe as energy that has
manifested into a certain shape. Learning how to control this
vibrating energy, yourself and your consciousness is the key to the
Law of Attraction. So if everything is energy, and we control the
vibrations of our energy then it is entirely possible to control
the vibrations we wish to have and only those vibrations. Let's
look at three important steps to follow in order to use the Law of
Attraction to bring health into your life.

1.) Identify specifically what you want - meaning what does good
health mean to you? Do you want to lose weight, survive cancer,
live a long and vital life... the list can go on and on.

2.) Focus on your desired result - it does not matter how you get
to the end result, simply focus on your end result, not the journey
to get there.

3.) Take action - take part in whatever type of actions inspire you
in relation to your end result of good health. Visiting holistic
doctors, exercising, eating healthy, supplementing and more.
Anything!

The Law of Attraction has the power to take you down the road of
good health and keep you there. All you have to do is keep your
thoughts on the end result and act as you are inspired to act. Good
health is something that is faster and faster becoming scarce in
our world and if the Law of Attraction can help with that, we
should definitely let it!

Wishing you the best of health,

Edison Chen And His Scandal Photos

2008-02-07T22:53:00.000+08:00

Recently, someone has been circulating scandalous nude photos of Edison Chen and famous actress like Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan, and Cecilia Cheung making it out on bed.

Initially, when the photos just started circulating, the actresses involved ferociously denied that they are real, and threatened to sue the person who circulate. They insist that the photos are doctored and they have never done such a thing.

Soon the polices are involved and people are locked up for questioning, more and more evidence proved that these photos are real. The same actress that shouted foul now cried in front of media, said they are being "victimized", and one even attempted suicide...

And all these while, Edison remains silence, until recently he recorded a short video to publicly apologize to the actress that are involved and asked all who have downloaded the photos to delete them.

I like the reaction of Edison, he did not choose to hide, deny the facts or lie through his teeth, but instead, he choose to answer for his action, and apologize to the "victims".

While for the ladies, perhaps it is too shameful for them to admit, and therefore they choose to lie and threaten..

I just hope that this is a lesson for everyone, if you do not want anybody to find out certain thing, DONT DO IT! We must be matured enough to answer for our own actions. And if we choose to do it, at least be brave enough to admit and face it.

P.S. Do I have the photos? Yes I do! hahaa.. I am curious! But sorry I will not share them, as these are not something that should be circulated. But if you are really curious, just do a search on Google and you can find them easily!

John Hopkins Report On Cancer Treatment

2008-01-07T08:49:00.000+08:00

Today I received an email from a friend on a report from John Hopkins on Cancer Treatment. I think it is worth the read, it may saves a life!

As a side note, I found the information below align with what I have written earlier on the 10 Secrets On Abundance Health (Click on the Health Label at the end of post to read those secrets). I'm glad that now more and more people are conscious of what they are eating, and their healing effects. Cheers!!

..... lengthy but worth the read .........

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from John Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body . These cancer cells do not show up in the standard
tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain
live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

f. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.

g. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

h. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

i. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
j. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper

The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Success Happens by Design

2007-12-06T15:27:00.000+08:00

The following study was conducted at Yale University in 1953. In
that year, a batch of fresh graduates was surveyed, and in this
batch, only 3% had their goals written down.

Some of their goals included: 'being a best-selling novelist,
starting a computer company and taking it public, running for
President etc...'

97% of the students had no clearly defined goals written down. Many
of them chose to adopt the 'whatever will be, will be' mindset,
possibly popularized by a hit '50s musical titled 'Que Sera Sera'
(Whatever will be, will be).

Twenty years later, a follow up study revealed that the 3% of
students who wrote down their goals earned a combined income three
times greater than the combined income of the 97% who had no goals
written down.

This surely shows the incredible power of goal setting.

I can tell you that if I did not sit down 14 years ago and design
my life the way that I wanted it to unfold, I certainly wouldn't
have achieved what I have right now. I would be somewhere else,
probably doing something totally different.

Very often, if we don't have a clear plan for our life, we will
fall into somebody else's plan. For most people, it would be our
parents' plan: 'Be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer in order to make
plenty of money'.

Though it may seem to be (in their view) for our own future good,
more often than not it is more of meeting their expectations and
sometimes their very own unrealized dreams.

Now, don't we all want the freedom to do and be whatever we choose
to become?

When I was first featured in the newspapers as a 26-year old
millionaire who's speaking fee commanded a thousand dollars per
hour, many of my friends asked me how I was able to command such a
high fee within two years of graduating from university.

At age 26, two years after graduation, I had written a best-selling
book, started and ran three companies, spoken to thousands of
people and made over a million dollars. Most of my peers were
either looking for their first job or working for other people for
about $2000 + a month.

The irony is that many of these peers and friends are probably just
as intelligent, talented and hardworking as I am. The only
difference between us was the fact that at age 15, I sat down and
scripted out a detailed life plan.

I wrote down exactly what I was going to achieve in the next 10
years of my life.

After scripting out my life plan, I took action and each action I
took enabled me to focus all my talents, my intelligence and
energies like a laser beam. I use the analogy of a laser beam
because I was so energized I felt I could cut through anything that
was in my way.

Achieving success rarely ever happens by chance. The roll of the
dice never made anyone happy or rich for a long time. It always
begins with a clearly defined outcome fueled by a passionate desire.

The Champion Within

2007-12-05T13:47:00.000+08:00

How to Find the Olympian Within by Denis Waitley (excerpted from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury book)

You're standing on the highest pedestal, the one in the center. You hear the roar of approval from the crowd. As the first note of the national anthem is played in the Olympic stadium, you feel all the pride and honor that accompanies this moment. Ten thousand hours of preparation for this one triumphant moment in history. You've won the gold!

That dream of an Olympic championship is in the heart of every amateur athlete, just as the Grand Final, World Cup, Super Bowl and Wimbledon are the goals of professional football players and tennis players. What are your dreams? You're most likely not a world-class athlete, but surely you have aspirations of your own. Perhaps you imagine a metaphorical gold medal being placed around your neck by the CEO of your company, or by your friends and family for being the best in your own unique way. Maybe you wonder whether you're up to the risk of starting your own business.

On Sundays my grandparents would take us children to ride the huge merry-go-round next to the San Diego Zoo. We could hardly wait to mount those bobbing zebras, lions, tigers and stallions, and whirl round and round to the music of the antique pipe organ. Surrounded by mirrors and lights, our hearts would pound in anticipation as we stretched out desperately, trying to be the one among all the riders who would grab the gold ring and win another ride. So began my competitive spirit.

Since you're probably younger than I am, you may never even have heard of grabbing the gold ring on the carousel. But in the 40s, and 50s, if you reached out and caught it, you not only got a free ride – your name was also announced over the loudspeaker and all the other kids and their parents would applaud. And, of course, the kids all wished it could have been them instead of you.

Reflecting back now on my youth, I've come to some realizations. I guess I did start out thinking of success and winning as something that you got by reaching outside yourself and proving to others that you were worthy. Come to think of it, most of my friends also believed that you had to prove, or earn, or win, or perform in some special way, and then you would deserve the gold ring or the Olympic gold medal.

The approval of others seemed to precede feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. You were entitled to feel good about yourself only after you performed well. Why did it take me so many years to discover that just the reverse ought to be true?

After devoting most of my lifetime to investigating the well-springs of personal and professional success, I'm able to make the following statements with great confidence:

- You need to feel love inside yourself before you can offer it to anyone else.

- Your own sense of value determines the quality of your performance. Performance is only a reflection of internal worth, not a measure of it.

- The less you try to impress, the more impressive you are

- What you show the world on the outside is a mirror image of how you feel on the inside.

- You should chase your passion, not your pension

The key trait shared by athletic champions and winners in every walk of life is the fundamental belief in one's own internal value.

If your success depends on external possessions, you'll be subject to constant anxiety. When your peer group cheers one of your accomplishments, you'll feel good for a while, but then you'll wonder if they'll cheer as loudly the next time. If they're critical, you will feel hurt and threatened. The truth is, you can never win over a long period of time if your concept of success depends upon the perfect performance or the placing of a gold medal around your neck.

It's obvious that talent, looks and other attributes aren't equally distributed, but we're all given an abundance of value – more than we could use in several lifetimes. The game of life certainly isn't played on a level playing field for each of us in terms of education, a supportive home life, and other circumstances beyond our control, but I can assure you that you were born with the qualities of a champion. That's what I mean by value.

You see, champions are born, but they can be unmade by their perceptions, exposure and responses. Losers are not born to lose. They're programmed that way by their own responses to their environment and their decisions.

There's a phrase I like to use – The Inner Winner -- that describes the kind of person who recognizes his or her internal value, and who is able to use that recognition as the foundation for achieving any goal.

The secret of wearing the gold medal around your neck in the external world is that first you must be an Inner Winner. You must recognize that you're already an Olympian Within.

Follow One Course Until Successful

2007-12-01T10:07:00.000+08:00

This morning while reading the book "Why We Want You To Be Rich" by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, I came across this acronym for the word "Focus" which I find very meaningful!

F = Follow
O = One
C = Course
U = Until
S = Successful

Many times we tried once, then twice, then 3rd times.. it just doesn't seems to work. You persevere and keep trying.. you revise the mistakes, change the methods, but it still fails.. finally you give up, believing that you have tried your best and concluded that Success just doesn't belongs to you.

But once you choose to give up, you FAILED! It doesn't matter you have only tried once or 100 times, the result is still the same. You FAILED. The moment you give up, you FAILED!

If Edison gave up after 900 times, we will not have the world we are living in today!

Success is not a single step journey, it has a lot of steps to take, and each failed attempt is just another step closer to the final destination. You can take a rest if you are too tired, but never ever give up until you reached your destination. That is the only way to Success!

Cheers!

Life Is So Fragile

2007-11-19T23:11:00.001+08:00

Its been more than a month since I last post. Please accept my most sincere apology.

I have decided to take a break, as I was feeling overwhelmed and desperately requiring a time off. Well, my initial short break turns out to be longer than I expected!

In actual fact, I am still not fully ready to come back... but something else happened that changed my mind. I have just learned the news of my friend who just passed away in an accident in Yale. I am not close to him, but still.. the news has shaken me a little...

Suddenly I felt that life is so unpredictable.. so fragile.. Pierre was pursuing his dreams and studying in Yale.. when the future looks so bright and promising, a freak accident is all it took to destroy everything...

We will never know what's going to happen to us tomorrow.. make our life worthwhile today.. live it to the fullest, leaves no regrets...

P.S. Did not expect to start my blog with such a sad news.. sorry about it...

P.S.S Sincere apology to those who email me and I did not reply.. please do email me again

What Is The Difference Between Honesty And Integrity?

2007-10-12T13:25:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, Thank you for all the comments. Really appreciate them.

Please accept my sincere apology for not able to post another article sooner. I do not want to use an excuse for lack of time, I would rather say i need to improve my time management skills quite significantly!

Today I saw a comment from Erin for my post on "Maintaining Honesty And Integrity", an article I have excerpted from Jim Rohn's weekly ezine, and I wanted to reply his question in this new article instead of just a comment, as i think this a very good discussion.

Erin said...

Albert,
Way to go for looking at your weakness, taking ownership of it and working to get out of debt. Very commendable. So many people just try to ignore it in hopes it goes a way.

Honesty and integrity are BIG values to attain. Through diligent and constant attention I think we can all achieve these values. I think the most difficult part in achieving them is in finding their essence and true definition. How would you differentiate between these two? What values do you feel are most crucial for their achievement???

Hi Erin, thank you for your comments. =D

Personally I believe that Honesty and Integrity are 2 very important values in our journey of personal development. My definition of Honesty and Integrity are quite simple.

Honesty - Being truthful to others even if it means putting yourself in a disadvantage position.

Integrity - Being truthful to yourself even if you know that nobody will ever find out what you have done.

Sometime, it is easier to be honest than to maintain your integrity. Your honesty is put to test when you interact with others. If you are not being honest, there is always a chance that it will be found out by others, and therefore, it is not difficult to convince yourself that you should be honest at all time.

But it is always those moments when you are alone that put your integrity to test.

Honesty and Integrity are 2 fundamental values. To achieve and have them as part of your life, I believe you need a lot of Courage! The courage to face the fear of criticisms, the mocking, all those most cruel, evil and disastrous consequence you conjure up in your mind when you wanted to tell the truth! And after telling the truth, the courage to fear the real things, the courage to take 100% responsibility, even if it means that those scary thoughts you conjure up in your mind become reality!!

What do you guys think?

Do leave your comments if you like to join in the discussion of honesty and integrity.

Cheers!

Maintaining Honesty and Integrity

2007-09-30T01:58:00.000+08:00

For a leader, honesty and integrity are absolutely essential to survival. A lot of business people don't realize how closely they're being watched by their subordinates. Remember when you were a kid in grammar school, how you used to sit there staring at your teacher all day? By the end of the school year, you could do a perfect imitation of all your teacher's mannerisms. You were aware of the slightest nuances in your teacher's voice - all the little clues that distinguished levels of meaning that told you the difference between bluff and "now I mean business".

And you were able to do that after eight or nine months of observation. Suppose you had five or ten years. Do you think there would have been anything about your teacher you didn't know?

Now fast forward and use that analogy as a manager. Do you think there's anything your people don't know about you right this minute? If you haven't been totally aboveboard and honest with them, do you really think you've gotten away with it? Not too likely. But if you've been led to believe that you've gotten away with it, there might be a good probability that people are afraid of you, and that's a problem in its own right.

But there is another side of this coin. In any organization, people want to believe in their leaders. If you give them reason to trust you, they're not going to go looking for reasons to think otherwise, and they'll be just as perceptive about your positive qualities as they are about the negative ones.

A situation that happened some years ago at a company in the Midwest illustrates this perfectly. The wife of a new employee experienced complications in the delivery of a baby. There was a medical bill of more than $10,000, and the health insurance company didn't want to cover it. The employee hadn't been on the payroll long enough, the pregnancy was a preexisting condition, etc, etc.

In any case, the employee was desperate. He approached the company CEO and asked him to talk to the insurance people. The CEO agreed, and the next thing the employee knew, the bill was gone and the charges were rescinded. Then he told some colleagues about the way the CEO had so readily used his influence with the insurance company, they just shook their heads and smiled. The CEO had paid the bill out of his own pocket, and everybody knew it, no matter how quietly it had been done.

Now an act of dishonesty can't be hidden either, and it will instantly undermine the authority of a leader. But an act of integrity and kindness like the example above is just as obvious to all concerned. When you're in a leadership position, you have the choice of how you will be seen, but you Will be seen one way or the other, make no mistake about it.

One of the most challenging areas of leadership is your family. Leadership of a family demands even higher standards of honesty and integrity, and the stakes are higher too. You can replace disgruntled employees and start over. You can even get a new job for yourself, if it comes to that. But your family can't be shuffled like a deck of cards. If you haven't noticed, kids are great moral philosophers, especially as they get into adolescence. They're determined to discover and expose any kind of hypocrisy, phoniness, or lack of integrity on the part of authority figures, and if we're parents, that means us. It's frightening how unforgiving kids can be about this, but it really isn't a conscious decision on their part; it's just a necessary phase of growing up.

They're testing everything, especially their parents.

As a person of integrity yourself, you'll find it easy to teach integrity to your kids, and they in turn will find it easy to accept you as a teacher. This is a great opportunity and also a supreme responsibility, because kids simply must be taught to tell the truth: to mean what they say and to say what they mean.

"Praise is one the world's most effective teaching and leadership tools. Criticism and blame, even if deserved, are counter productive unless all other approaches have failed."

Now for the other side of the equation, we all know people who have gotten ahead as a result of dishonest or unethical behavior. When you're a kid, you might naively think that never happens, but when you get older, you realize that it does. Then you think you've really wised up. But that's not the real end of it. When you get older, you see the long-term consequences of dishonest gain, and you realize that in the end it doesn't pay.

"Hope of dishonest gain is the beginning of loss". I don't think that old saying refers to loss of money. I think it actually means loss of self-respect. You can have all the material things in the world, but if you've lost respect for yourself, what do you really have? The only way to ever attain success and enjoy it is to achieve it honestly with pride in what you've done.

This isn't just a sermon, it's very practical advice. Not only can you take it to heart - you can take it to the bank.

To Your Success,

7 Strategies To 7 Figures

2007-09-25T22:39:00.000+08:00

I would like to share the 7 strategies Matt Morris (President and founder of Success University) used to help him achieved 7 figures income for six time repeatedly.

1. Dream BIG

You must first have a big dream if you want to achieve anything. And no matter how big is your dream, it is always too small.

2. Become an EXPERT

Become an expert in the area you wanted to excel in. You become an expert when you know more than 99% of the population. And by reading 5 books on a subject, you will know more than 99% of the population!
To absorb well and learn faster, read the books as though you are going to give a training on the subject after reading.

3. Create a Game Plan

Set a goal. Then set a deadline for your goal. Find out the purpose behind your goal. Why do you want to achieve the goal? Then create the game plan to achieve the goal with the deadline.
Breakdown your goal into smaller goals. Before you can earn $1 million, you need to earn $100,000 first. Before you earn your first $100,000, you need to earn your first $10,000. Therefore, breakdown your goal into smaller goals, and come up with the action plans to achieve them.

4. Massive Actions

Success = Work ethic * level of knowledge

When you do not have enough technical knowledge, you can always make it up with more efforts and still can achieve equal success. Therefore, massive actions = massive results.

5. Build Your Leadership

Become a leader that people wanted to follow. When you have the leadership and respects from others, they will be more willing to listen to you and follow your direction. And the way to become a leader is to become an EXPERT. Yes, read at least 5 books on leadership and become an expert, practice and do it until people start listening and follow you.

6. Build Your Vision

You become what others are saying about you. When people around you do not believed in your vision, you will start to have doubt in it. When people around you support your vision, you will be more motivated to achieve it. Therefore, move away from negative people and hang around with people who believe in you.
Furthermore, your experience in life will affect your vision. The past does not equal future. Do not let past negative experience become your excuses. What you say about yourself, what you say most everyday, is what you will become. Therefore, self affirmation is very important, make sure you are conscious of what you are saying, and replace all negative comments to positive. Remember that our subconscious mind cannot differentiate Rights from Wrongs and accept whatever information you feed it.

7. Take 100% Responsibility

Be 100% responsible for all results. Whatever problems you encountered, do not blame it on others. Take full responsibility. When you blame it on others, be it the weather, the unexpected incidents, or even sabotages from rivals, you become helpless. You cannot control what others are doing, and therefore when you blame it on them, you give up the chance to improve the situation. When you take 100% responsibility, you take it upon yourself, and when the results are not within expectation, you will always do self examination, try to find ways to improve and therefore become much better when similar situation occur.

Above are the 7 strategies that help Matt to achieve 7 figures income. It is not difficult to follow, but perseverance is the key to success. As long as you do not give up, you will always achieve whatever you set out to accomplish, guaranteed!

May this 7 strategies help you along your journey to Great Success!

Cheers!!

Success University World Tour in Singapore

2007-09-21T15:41:00.000+08:00

Hi all, I believe by now there should be a lot of posts on Success University World Tour in Singapore on Wednesday this week.

I'm glad that I was at the seminar, where I am the first group of people in Singapore to witness the new video and magazine.

This was also the first time that i saw Matt Morris (The president and founder of Success University) in person. I can feel his passion when he shared his Vision and Mission for Success University.

Success is not only measure by wealth. Success is measured by all areas of life in family, wealth, health and happiness!

I'm glad that I am part of this wonderful University of Success, where I can access so many great resources from so many highly successful people.

To be frank, the energy level at the seminar is a bit low, perhaps it was Wednesday night where everybody is tired after whole day at work.

But I am one of the few that is very motivated by what I saw and heard. Because Matt's vision resonate with mine. When he mentioned Warren Buffett donating US$37 billion to Charity, I smiled because that newspaper cutting is still paste in front of my office table since last year June.

Yes, I want to contribute back to the society, to help as many unfortunate people as possible. =D

Although Success University is focusing on Personal Development, I realized that most of the students are focusing on the monetary rewards. They joined for the huge residual income potential, and pay no attention to those wonderful PD courses available.

Therefore, I really hope to find friends who are focusing on Personal Development, who love to constantly improve oneself, and friends who see the true values of Success University, to immerse oneself in Personal Development materials. Of course I love the monetary rewards that comes together with it as well!

I wanted friends in Success University to come together to discuss the various topics of Personal Development, how to improve certain areas of their life, and not purely just to discuss how much they are earning from the commissions and how to earn more!

So if you are into Personal Development like me who believe in self-improvement, do take a look at Success University, and join me if you like to. The courses are definitely worth many times more than the monthly school fees.

Cheers!

P.S. I have taken a few photos at the seminar, will upload it here once I got them from my girlfriend's camera! :P

How To Become a Master Communicator And Influence People

2007-09-17T23:26:00.000+08:00

How do we become a master communicator, someone who is always able to influence others in a powerful way?

What happens when we do not get the response that we want? We have two choices!

We can choose to blame the other person for not being receptive, for being unreasonable, close minded, stupid etc... But you know what? By doing this, there is nothing more we can do about it! We have shut the door on them.

For traditional communication theory, when two people communicate, both have an equal, i.e. 50% responsibility, for the success of the communication.

In other words, if A is talking and attempting to sell B an idea. A can do his best to communicate, but 50% of the success of his communication lies with B

If B has a closed mind and does not want to listen, the communication can never be successful. So is B to be blamed for the unsuccessful communication?

Unfortunately, people who accept this theory never become effective communicators. Why? Because by accepting this theory, we will always be limited as communicators. We will not always get the result we want! In fact we will seldom get the results we want.

Does this happen to you? You motivate your staff to work harder, they don't respond positively, so you give up!

You try to motivate your children to study harder, but it doesn't work, so you say, 'What's the point? They are just lazy."

You do your best to sell a product to a group of prospects, they don't buy, so you say, "I guess they are just not interested in this product."

A study of the most influential and impactful communicators in the world, revealed that they always took 100% responsibility for the success of their communication.

For example person (A) communicates an idea to person (B), and B did not respond successfully, still, person A would not lay the blame on person B.

Person A would take responsibility by accepting that his own communication was not effective. By doing so, A has the power to change the communication, until he gets the desired response.

Such great communicators adopt the belief that the meaning of their communication was the response they got, regardless of their intention.

To describe this further, if they attempted to communicate their sincerity, but the other person felt that they were insincere, they would take responsibility accepting that the meaning of their communication was 'insincerity', even though they intended to be sincere.

It could be their tone of voice or body language that made them seem 'insincere'. They would then change their communication strategy until they got the response they desired, i.e. being sincere.

We must understand that different people perceive the world differently. Everybody has different internal filters. When you tell a joke, a group of people may laugh while another group does not think of it being funny.

This does not mean the second group does not have a sense of humor. It is just that they perceive humor differently. As a great communicator, we must take responsibility changing our
communication (joke) until we make our audience laugh.

The power to communicate is one of the most important tools we have as human beings. In fact, our ability to achieve our goals largely depends on our ability to communicate and influence other people.

Taking responsibility and having extreme flexibility is the key to being a master of influence. Taking responsibility for the way we communicate and for the results we get, we attain absolute power over the effect of our communication.

Lessons From Evan Almighty

2007-09-14T23:12:00.000+08:00

Recently I watched the movie "Evan Almighty" by Steve Carell. It was really funny and stupid, and I have had a really good laugh. By the way, the Evan dance was really ugly!! hahaa

But then I realized the movie was trying to bring some messages across. The very first thing I have learned was "ARK". Now then I know that ARK means Acts of Random Kindness! If we want to change the world, what we need to do is just An Act of Random Kindness at a time!

After the movie, I kept thinking about this phrase, "An Act of Random Kindness at a time". Big goals like changing the world start with small little things around us. If every person does an act of random kindness to the people, animals and environment around them at a time, this world will definitely become a much better place!

My girlfriend who watched with me remembered another scene, where god (who is played by excellent Morgan Freeman) asked, "When you pray for courage, will god gives you courage, or the opportunity to show your courage?" What a wisdom!!

God always answer your prayers! If you ask for money, he gives you the opportunity to earn the money! If you ask for wisdom, he gives you the opportunity to learn! Imagine what this world will become if everybody just suddenly becomes whatever he prays for! It will be chaotic! But God heard every prayers, and he always give you the opportunity to get what you pray for! In fact, he will keeps sending you the opportunities, again and again, until either you give up or you achieve what you pray for!

Ok, I need to clarify, I am not a Christian or belongs to any religion. I am not trying to preach here, but I have always believed that there is a god, an infinite intelligent, or whatever name you give him, that is looking after our planet earth, and everything that lives on it. And it is always easier to achieve our goals with his helps =)

I'm glad that other than laughing myself silly, I have learned something that reinforced my understanding and belief on this journey to exceptional living.

If you have not watch Evan Almighty yet, what are you waiting for??

Cheers!!

The Key To Absolute Power

2007-09-13T21:22:00.001+08:00

Another great article from Adam Khoo.

Enjoy =)

Do you want to be in control of your life and create the results you desire? To be in a position of power and change whatever is not working in your life? Do you want to be able to change the people around you, the results you produce and even how you feel?

Most people believe that power and control are limited to the fortunate few who were born into power (e.g.: the tycoon's son), or acquire power through exceptional talent, business acumen or lady luck.

They believe (and we'll prove them wrong), that the rest of us are destined to be buffeted by whatever winds of change swirl around us. Economic slowdown, recession, company takeovers are the common winds of change.

The truth is, you do not need to have money or be in a top position to take control over what happens. In fact, people at the helm can also lose control...with much bigger consequences.

Look at the CEOs who watch their company's profits nose-dive helplessly in a bear market.

Or what about the US Army Generals who entered Iraq thinking that they were liberators of the people only arriving to find themselves regarded as invaders. Were they, the high and mighty in control? Not at all!

Taking Absolute Responsibility Gives YOU Absolute Power

The secret is to take absolute responsibility for whatever happens. That's right! When you take full responsibility for whatever happens, it means you acknowledge the fact that you have created whatever happens.

If you created it, then you have the power to change it. So, taking absolute responsibility for something puts you in a position of absolute power.

The extent to which you take responsibility over something is the extent to which you have control over it.

For example, if you take responsibility for your low pay, it means you acknowledge the fact that it was your actions and decisions that were the cause of this result.

Reasons could be that you are not creating enough value to be paid more; you have not demonstrated your true value to your boss; or that you chose to work in a company which does not recognize your true value.

Regardless of the reason or position you are in, you have the power to take charge and change anything in your life. The moment you take responsibility, you put yourself on the road to doing
something about it.

You can either find ways to create more value by going beyond what is expected, make yourself more valuable by upgrading your skills, ask for a pay raise or find another job that will pay you what you are worth.

When you start taking any of these actions, your situation will change... you will get paid more!

Taking absolute responsibility for your situations and results puts you in a position of absolute power. So remember every time you feel like blaming others or circumstances, stop and take charge!
