When too many things strike at once......

When too many things come to you at the same time, how do you handle it? Example: You got a new task at work and that task is hard, require time, technology, money and cooperation from people. There is this festive season coming in and you know that you have to do a lot of things, choosing cloth to buy and wear, clean and beautify the house, the food, the vehicle had to be sure it is good. Friends  Sibling Somebody near you sick And the list continue. It become harder as in the process of all this, you had to make decision that you regret later, but because of the circumtances, you ahd to let go. What to do then? How about myself? Well, one thing I know that won't do good is sitting idly. things would never change if I do not take actions. Yes, the actions could be as simple as sweep the floor, but keep on.

Achieving a million ringgit by age 55...

Do you know the important of saving? I do, but I do not exactly practiced it, until recently.  Maybe I do not realized how really important for me to do saving. This is the table that I got from reading Azizi Ali’s book  ‘ Millionaires are from a different planet’. The table shows how you can have a million ringgit assuming of 9% annual return every year. Age Monthly Savings (RM) Interest (%) Total Earnings (RM) 20 340 9 1 million 30 892 9 1 million 40 2,643 9 1 million 50 13,258 9 1 million But I’m 27 now… and I do not think I save that much amount of money every month. I’m 27, so the money I need to save is around 700 per month?.... wow, then I have to live frugally if I want to. That means, selling my car, and change to a more affordable car, finding a housemate, earn extra money, like doing tuition, writing, and maybe helps my father at the farm so he can give me some money....

Starting all over again

One of my liking is starting something new, but having difficulties to continue it. I stop in the middle of it. This blog is an example. I just can continue to write anything in this blog, and yet, I decided to make a new one. But then I found out that I unable to maintain so many blogs at a time. So I decided to close the newest blog and continue and proceed with this blog. I found happiness in writing. I love seeing my articles being published even though no one reads it. I got a sense of accomplishment. One of the main reason because I having difficulties to voice out my opinion freely to people without making people uncomfortable. I guess, it just my feeling, but I cannot help it. But by writing, I can. It is so good to have an opinion of my own. Without the needs to be interfere by an outside interference. As much as I do not care, but judgment from people can easily be seen, and how much I want to deny it, it does affected  me. I find no other way to make me voice out wha...

I've been a subscriber to Jack Canfeild newsletter and today email, really shows why saying no is good too, in fact it shows reasons for me why I need to learn to say no.   There are only two words that will always lead you to success.  Those words are yes and no.  Undoubtedly, you’ve mastered saying yes.  So start practicing saying no.  Your goals depend on it!  If you are constantly saying yes to other people, then you are constantly saying no to yourself  and your goals .    Ask yourself if what is being requested of you is in line with your goals, will it benefit you in some way and bring you closer to your success, or will you simply be spending your time on someone else’s good opportunity? How much time do you waste with pr...
