One of the blog that I always look on since I start blogging is about debt free blog. It’s by a blogger name Amy Bass and somehow she inspired me to work online to earn extra money through internet. Amy wanted to earn money online in order to pay her debt, and she managed to do that faster than she expect. Wow, incredible. I’m no near her achievement, as I’m struggling. I do have a good and stable job, but to pay my debt, I won’t be able to do so in ten years time. I don’t want to be stuck with debt forever. Sometimes when I feel frustrated with earning online because it totally hard, not as what people say it to be, I will look at my loan statement and immediately I feel the need to work harder to pay it off. I ahd to do it because I know in the near future, there will be more loan I need to do. I want to buy a house, fix my parents house and so many other things that I wanted to do and all of it cost money. Sometimes I do wish I was rich. I remember once, my nephew asked my father ‘ ...

Something that I read from warriorforum and want to share it here. Very nice reading Author Michael Jeffreys personally interviewed 15 top motivational gurus in 1997 for his then upcoming book. After talking to gurus from Brian Tracy to Dr. Wayne Dyer, he distilled 8 Secrets to Success they all agreed upon. These secrets are still good today and are as follows: 1. Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life – In a society where people blame everything from their parents to the government for failure, those who don’t buy into this mentality or succumb to the “victim” thinking succeed. To blame something or somebody outside yourself is saying they have control of your life and not you. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality. 2. Live Your Life On Purpose - What separates motivational thinkers from the unsuccessful is that they believe they’re doing what they were put her to do. The difference between this and just living, is that the latter is just getting thr...

Idleness can cause to depression because idleness allow your mind to wander in the past, the present and the future with all the difficulties. Therefore it much better to perform fruitful acts instead of being idle because idleness is slow and veiled form of suicide. Idleness is like a slow the slow torture that being inflicted upon prisoner, they are places under a tap, from which a drop of water falls only after every hour. During the period of waiting between drops, many of them lose their minds and are driven to insanity. Being inactive means being negligent of one’s duties. Idleness is an expert thief and your mind is its victims. Therefore, get up now and do something fruitful, reading, working out and etc….., so that you can put an end to your inactivity. Destroy boredom by working. Taken from book “Don’t be Sad” and simplify by me

Online earning is not easy. It’s not easy at all. It required hard work, knowledge and persistence, and I doubt if I have any. I’ve been reading a lot of people confession about earning online, and truth to be told, it hard. I know, I read that more that 90% who venture into online earning fail. Many new blogs are made to earn money, but sadly, not all can make it. I also know more than half of under 40’s years old new millionaire come from internet entrepreneur. I don’t remember where I read all about it, but I do remember reading it somewhere. There are so many advertisement that you can make so many money easily on the internet, but as you put your heart into it, buying and downloading all the information that you can get, only to discover you’ve been tampered with overload information and you, yourself find it hard to make a choice of which one is the true, and which one is the scam. I’m not going offer another model where through it you subscribe because I’m suck at it. Oh yes, on...

Yesterday, a friend of mine invited me and my friend to her brother’s place. Her brother house look old and poor. Its located at the beside of the road and fill with a farm plantation, like dragon fruit trees, bananas and a pond. That friend of mine introduced us to her brother. An old man around age 60 to 70. He look healthy. And then something struck me. It occurred after I saw his wife, having long ear due to culture and then he said once they went to Australia, and people there do not find it weird to see his wife ear, only Malaysians did. (I ashamed of myself, because I did find it amazing and weird), then he proceed again that he ahs went to Japan, Cambridge University and many parts of the world. Oh my, he has went to so many places in the world, and yet he so humble and don’t bragging about it. Even though he can have the luxury of life, still he chose to live and work on his own with his beloved wife. He said he not used to not working

When I was in university, I’m counting the days, when can I finish my study so that I can stop study. I don’t think I hate study, I just tired of study. I wanted to finish study as soon as possible and find a job and earn money. Now Its been more than three years since I finish my study, and I found out, that there is no stop in learning. I cannot stop learning because if I do, I will not move forward and instead I move backward. No body wants to move backward. But the great thing learning after finish my degree, there is no paper examination where there are lecturers that will mark and grading my paper. It will be me, and the people around me that will be my judges, and I’m accountable to my own self. Thinking back, I think the later is much more scarier than the first. When study, there isn’t many things to think, but now, there are so many things to think and handle, and if I’m being ignorant and totally stop learning, I will miss out so many things and make silly decisions that wi...

A trip For the first time in my life, I went oversea. Hahahaha, it kind weird to say it that way because it much nearer to go to this oversea, than to go to my country capital city. I’m Malaysian, living in Johor and Johor is much nearer to Singapore than to Kuala Lumpur. Yes, I just went to a place near my hometown and I’m glad I make the trip. Even though at first I nearly wanted to cancel the trip, but I’m glad I proceed with it. Since kid, I always been exposed to Singapore, and my interest towards English started with Singapore channel because at my home I got Singapore channel. And because Singapore used English, somehow, I was influenced to learn English and now here I am, an English teacher. Somehow, when I was teaching, I wonder how I can best teach my pupils. I got the advantage because I got exposed with English since I was small, but my pupils? They live in rural area, far from English usage and sometimes it takes many times before they can remember a word that I told them....
