Recently I was watching a HK serial, and this song was played throughout the show. I thought it was a beautiful song. Simple yet beautiful.
My Love Will Get You Home by Christine Glass
If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there’s only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home,
Boy, my love will get you home.
The Peaceful Warrior - an awesome movie! It was a book that David recommended. And I come to know that it has been made into a movie. I got my hand on the movie first.
A beautiful movie about mind, intention, life, purpose and wealth. It’s another show beside Matrix and The Secret that I got to watch several times to gain distinctions.
I particular like a scene. This is a description of the scene based on my memory.
Socrates: Tomorrow, bring your hiking shoes. I want to bring you to this place when we first met that night. I guess you are finally ready to go there. It’s going to be a long walk.
Next day
Dan: Are we there yet? It has been 3 hours!
Old man: Here we are.
Dan: So what’s in it for me? The view?
Old man: Beside your feet.
Dan look down…..
Dan: The flower? No…. you don’t mean….
Old Man: The rock!
Old man pass the small rock to Dan’s hand.
Dan: What’s this suppose to mean? I was getting all excited, walking all the way here, looking forward to see something, and this is it!
Old man: But you were excited and happy.
Dan: Yes, because I thought I am going to see something.
Last week was supporting David and Rachel on a Presentation workshop done for GSK. A fun and heavy workshop.
Since it was a presentation workshop, there are presentation after presentation. The participants had done at least five presentations each. Some were very funny, typical comedian up there. Some were very experience, no sense of nervousness at all.
On the second day, things got more interesting as the participants do not just present on body organs (that’s their job scope), David got them to present on their life, hobby, people etc. This was where I got more interested, always.
When they were doing the part about the people they cared most, I can feel that some of them were still holding back, especially the first few who did it. But when we were half way through, suddenly the energy took a turn.
The presentation became intense and heavy. The essence of love filled the room. Some started to cry or tear. Tissues filled up the tables.
I really like Presentation Workshop because I can see the growth of individual almost instantaneously. Once again thank you David for allowing me to support your training.
What makes me qualified on giving any tips on insurance? Very simple, I once had been paying premium that was up to 40% of my income. That’s was a time that I didn’t really earn much. 40% of my income, that’s a lot, in most people opinion. But that point of time, I really do not know much about insurance, and of course some “Financial Advisor” took advantage of that, kept asking me to buy, buy and buy.
When I was in financial stress few years back, those policies doesn’t come in handy. Some lapse without maturing, thus I lose money to the Insurance company. Here, I am not complaining or blaming them, I took responsibility for my ignorance. After that I studied about insurance, I even join them for a while to learn more about insurance.
1. Educate yourself about insurance before making any decision.
2. Talk to people whom you think has knowledge about insurance beside Financial Advisor.
3. Find out what you really need. Insuring yourself in the areas of hospitalization, illness and life insurance should be priority.
4. Endowment, saving or investment-link insurance should not be main objective. Leave investing to other investment vehicles that gives much more returns.
5. Find a trustworthy Financial Advisor. Most are driven by money, so choose carefully.
Of course, there are many other types of insurance. Like home insurance, car insurance that are a must if you own a home or car. These type of insurance can’t be avoided.
Most importantly is to manage your finances properly. Setting aside 20% to insurance should be enough.
Jean and I has been thinking of getting a queen size bed. But due to the size of my room and the amount of things that I have makes it tough to add a queen size bed in the room. Basically my room is like a small office and living room. (with laptop, printer, TV, DVD player)
I know sooner or later we got to add a queen size bed, it’s just a matter of time. My current bed is going to give way anytime. To add a queen size bed, I really don’t know where can I placed my stuff. Too many books and too many toys. I got to find a way to relocate them.
I personally like Wooden Beds, never like those metal ones. I never sleeps on metal bed except my army days. I felt more comfortable and at peace sleeping on a wooden one.
Now I got to think of ways to make more space in my room.
I didn’t update my blog for almost a week. Share this small incident when the Universe acts again.
Last Wednesday I supported David with his Training, and will be going for a soccer game after the training. Brought all my gears on that day, feeling excited about the game.
After the training, while heading toward the train station, I received a call. “Game is off, bro. Raining ah.”
I felt a tingle of disappointment. Brought all my gears, but now got to bring them back - unused. I quickly realized the not so good thoughts flowing to my mind. I did one thing I always do, shoo them off, start to think in a different perspective. There must be a reason the Universe sent rain. Maybe the grass needs water.
Upon reaching home, changed to my comfortable clothing, started to unpacked my bag with the football gears. As I slowly took out my gears, ops I didn’t bring my shorts.
Last night did my first M&Y preview in Johor. Actually it should be the third time, but because for the past 2 weeks, no one turns up for the preview. Though there is only 7 guests who attended, still I must give 100%. It was a totally different situation from Johor and Singapore, but it’s a new experience.
I added a new piece to the previews and I thought it gels well with the context. I still feel the joy in me when doing the preview, I still feel my passion in delivering the information and the excitement in helping the guests.
The result is two signed up. And I was feeling rather upset, “why the five didn’t sign up?” It affected me a bit. But over the night, I thought from a new perspective. “Why concentrate on the five and keep looking at what’s wrong? Why not focus on the two and think of what’s right?”
What we focus expands! So now I choose to focus on those who signed up and what went right. And the numbers of sign up will expands. Yeah!
I’ve done my best. I had deliver what I need to, I got to detach from the result. I leave the rest to the Universe. One of my mentor said, whoever should be there, will go; whoever should not be there, will not go.
Are you free from debt? One of the most important keys to build wealth is to get rid of your bad debt. Having debt means it can get pretty tough to be financially free. It will be even tougher if the interest rate of your debt is high.
I’m not implying that you can’t have debt. Some debts like car loan or mortgages can’t really be help. But the interest rate to this kind of debt will not really kill you.
Credit card debt is mostly has the most impact in your journey in building wealth. 24% interest rate per year is going to set you back pretty bad in your wealth building process. If you own the credit card company $5,000, just the interest alone will cost you $100 monthly. The credit card company is just making your $100 monthly by doing nothing. Is this worth it?
If you are without this credit card debt, you will have $100 extra every month to invest to grow your retirement nest. Faithfully invest this $100 monthly, in 20 years time, you could have a substantial amount for your retirement.
If you are in any form of debt or looking for better interest rate on mortgages, you may want to visit debt management.
Few days ago I posted an Cost Per Lead program from a eWeath forum. I have a confession to make. I am starting to make some money from this forum.
This is an awesome program. No selling required. This forum is targeted at Affiliate Marketers. All topics in there are on affiliate marketing where many members share their tips and success stories regarding affiliate marketing.
While the newbie like me learn from those experience marketers, and at the same time refer more people to join this forum. $2 per lead is not a huge amount but the 2nd tier commission is enticing enough.
If you are looking for additional source of income, this may suits you. Give this forum a shot, it’s free anyhow.
A joy with this result, yet there is a tinkle of disappointment. Because Liverpool could have won the game, if not for the poor refereeing from Rob Styles.
My goodness, Styles actually gave Chelsea the controversial penalty in the 62 min. It’s so obvious that Malouda fell onto Steve Finnan. Even Morinho dared not claimed firmly that it was a foul, given his kind of character, he would definitely do it. Lampard then converted that penalty giving Chelsea the equalizer.
Though it was a disappointing result, as Liverpool should have won; still I am in joy to see Liverpool playing in their form. They controlled the game, having most of the possession. To add on to that joy, the record breaking 20 million pound striker, Torres scoring his first goal for the club at Anfield.
The ability to control most of the game against such a good team proves that Liverpool is able to mount a good challenge on the Premiership title this season. In fact Liverpool is having 8 shots on goal while Chelsea is having only 2 shots. With this game, it shows this may be a different Liverpool from the last season.
I am looking forward Liverpool’s every game now. Seeing how Benitez gel the old and new players sure is a joy.
