Well, in a one day, we will start a new year. A very happy and excellent Year to all. How you will start your new year? Me? By having a driving test. It is weird right? But I am more scared than feeling weird. I hope I will able to start a new year with an excellent start by passing the test. Have you done a revision of the achievements that you get in 2007? Is it a good year for you? For me, 2007 start bad, in fact really bad, starting with the biggest and historical flood happen in my district (picture)and my state of Johor and the pain of unable to get a job even though I have applied more than hundreds of work and been to a lot of interviews. Then starting June, things start to get better for me. Get my first job as a substitute teacher for two months, then three months at bank call centre and then working and learning through internet in blogging and internet marketing. Well, the truth, it wasn’t easy road, but I enjoy every second of it. Then on this month, I also get ...

I pursue my degree with education loan, and today I received a reminder that I need to pay it and what I do not understand is how the interest is calculated. And it become more funny when there is monthly administrative charge been imposed every month. So isn’t the total will be like more, I mean terribly high? But again, how can bank and all the financial institutions survive without interest and the so call administrative charge? But is it had to be really high? I once worked at bank call centre, and I had many conversations with customers about the card credit problems and it wasn’t pretty at all. But who can resist the temptation of having card credit and can buy what you like online and offline easily. But then at later date it will bring trouble. Right now I do not have credit card, only debit card, but my brother said, credit card is needed especially on emergency times. Is it true? There is a malay proverb, prepare the umbrella before it’s raining. But how can I? in m...

Many information is good, but too many information, is not necessarily good also. Have you been flooded with so many info that make you confuse? Apparently that is what I am going through right now. Is that a problem when you do not know what you do and you just accept whatever come in your way? I think it is good that I accept everything that come my way, ( being flexible, like in job interview, if you apply for a job, and then the interviewer asked, can you do other task if we ask you to? Of course the interviewee say yes, and it called as adaptability) but until recently I realized, there are so many things I read, but so little stuff I do with the info. Many are good, like more money is better than little money. But more money will become problem if you misused the money, compare to those who little money, because they know they have less money, so they careful planning with that money instead of saying . “that’s ok, I have a lot of money, I can do whatever I want to do”. The l...

From Steven Grabek Motivation means that which motivates, that which makes us take action towards our desired goals and which gives purpose and direction to those actions. Now we all know that very often we lose our motivation and we allow procrastination to dominate our life. Without our motivation we stop taking action and doing the things we really want to do, we stop achieving the things we really want to achieve and we stop believing we are capable of becoming who ever we want to be. The secret to beating procrastination is that we need to keep motivated. Every day we must do something, anything that gets us motivated, whether it’s listening to your favourite song, going for that morning run or simply reading some quotes. Every day we must motivate ourselves because when we are motivated we have energy, we have ideas and we have dreams and we pursue those dreams with our unbounded faith that we will achieve them and more. For me, motivation helped ...

Is it related? For me, yes, but not entirely true. That’s depend on personality, conditions, age, responsibility, and other factors as well. See this · Taylor ’s scientific management (1911) Workers are motivated mainly by money Suggested piece-rate system · Maslow’s theory (1943) People are motivated by hierarchy of needs, which includes money · Herzberg (1959) Money either dissatisfies or is neutral in its effect But from this blog ~ Money does not create motivation. But it can produce movement. ~ Money and motivation are not linked. If people don’t like the work they do there must be a reason. They may be doing it because they don’t have a choice; because they have to food on their table. ~ The reality is that most people work because they need to feed their family and pay the rent and one has to respect that. Loving your work, finding purpose in what you do, is a real privilege. One cannot role do...

In my quest for online earning, I found out it wasn’t easy. But, I felt lucky that I was introduced to this kind of earning from my friend. I went through to a lot of blogs and read many stories of their experiences about money and debt. It is truth, nothing is easy unless you work hard and put your mind to it. I want to do this (online earning ) because I tired going to interview and do not get anything at all. And when I get my first real job, I realized I do not want to do that for all my life. Getting told what to do all the time and become bad when your co-workers two timing two faces and sort of many things. Moreover, I do not want to spend more than I earn but that what happen when I was working. Not enough money. In my quest I found out that I really need to know how interest and calculating your debt is very important knowledge for me to know. I cannot hate math. Online business also the same like offline business, you need to invest. Well, I think I have invest more than RM 3...

I am having difficulties to write today. I do not know what to write. I always stray away from what I plan to do. Am I not discipline enough? I do not know, maybe. I need commitment slap so that I can concentrate on what I should do and not do. I should consider blogging as a serious thing for me, well, if I fail to get my teaching job, at least I know, there is something that I can depend on. But looking at a very bleak situation right now, I wonder if blogging is right for me. It is really difficult to get traffic. Then I enter so many affiliates that I hope can earn me some money. The truth ? I need a reality check. When you applying for affiliate or joining a program do you give your real name and real addresses? I did. I should not do that in future, right? People do make mistake. I guess, my endeavor through this journey is a bleak one. But never mind. I cannot stop. At least I know it is worth doing as long as I am sticking with it. Today, as usual, I tried to find w...

When you facing difficulties, what will you do? For me, before I graduated from my university, give up rarely existed in my dictionary of life. But after I finish my studies and having really difficult times in my life ( in fact even right now too ), give up and failure is synonym with me. I always cried. Having loss of hope and feeling exhausted and tired all the time. I even do not have courage to contact my close friends. Scared that they will asked me what I am doing now and to tell them I am unemployed? It’s a big embarrassment for me. But I never tired of trying. . Even though the first job that I got is because of the sympathy from other people, but at least I get it. Then I managed to get a job at a bank call centre for three months before I had to quit because of my sister in law hate me of being in her house. When I gave my resignation letter to the assistant of my manager, he asked me to continue work there. But I had to quit. I cannot stand staying at a house with your rela...

Get Paid To programs are programs that will pay you for you to participate in surveys, See an advertisements, writings, reviews complete free offers, try new products, click on advertisements, read your email or other kinds of programs that I am not aware of. I have participate in a few of them and I will list out the programs that I participate with. I also have the list at the left side of my blog. It won’t hurt you to participate, like see an advertisements for 30 seconds. Usually I do not see it, I just open it in other tab and when it said done, I just close the tab. Kind not good ( I know), but……. ( speechless). But it do not pay you high to see one advertisement, but hey, if you add up all it will worth it.

I felt tired and exhausted for the last few days. I think I read more for the last few months regarding internet marketing more than I read books for the last twelve months. I really develop interest to earn online, but to my disappointments, it wasn’t easy. With so many needs that I do not have, I have to do what the basic things that I can now. And this the truth, if you blogging entirely for money, the likely for you to succeed will be low. Don’t ask me why, but I read that a few times. Even john chow said that. But I get this poem from this site When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he’d stuck it out. Don’t give up, th...

After 2 days of doing absolutely nothing beneficial to me, mostly see old videos of the group that I like, read a teenage fanfics and listening to songs, I decided that it’s time for me to be serious back. More over, currently I am out of job and that’s mean no income for me. At least writing for my blog will avoid me from being idle and distract my thought from my problems. My problems are, I am scared I do not do well in my initiative to have driving license. I know I am a slow learner, and I hate driving, but my dad keep insisting that I take it. And moreover, I know the importance for me to have driving license. Second, I am scared I fail to get my KPLI, that mean I do not get to become a teacher. KPLI is a test for someone to become a teacher in my country ( Malaysia ). Most of them said that KPLI is for unemployed degree holders. But I also read that some choose KPLI because they cannot stand their current job. As for me, both. People say teaching is an easy job, but I’...

I began to develop an interest to earn through internet after I fail to get a proper job based on my degree. It really has been a tough and painful journey for me. And the first job I get as a substitute teacher was I got from the pity of other person but I grateful for that. Then I land a job at a call centre for three months before my contract end and today after almost three works of out of job, I know I really need to find other means to find money. With not much money at hand and a lot of money to use, I began to do a research how to earn through internet. At first I was really into it and has end up buying stuff that I regret at the end. But through my endeavors to find information on how to earn in internet, I get through the ebook that accidentally I came across and began to be a member since and have even read the ebook that was given. But at first I wasn’t really interest because it is a very long e-book around 50 pages because I want to find the way, the easy way but ...
