Problems Are Challenges That We Can Choose To Love.

I must say that the last two weeks have been wonderful, great and simply superb. The students from Coral Sec have really reinforced my passion and love for training with their new found dedication and drive for the future. These students are simply wonderful and adorable.

Anyway, to ALL coralites and ALL, while life will pose many challenges to you and it may seem daunting at times, I just want you to read the following real life story.

>>>A man asked the champion body builder, “How did you train your muscles to be so huge?”. To which, his reply was, “Do you REALLY want to know or are you just asking?” “Yeah, I really want to know.” With that, the champion flexed his huge right bicep, and with a serious look in his eyes staring down at the man, he replied, “See this? Everyday, I push my muscle against resistance. And as I push myself against more and more resistance, I commanded my muscle to expand by demand. This muscle is the result of pushing against resistance.”<<<

Well, some of you may be lost by now. Don’t be. Let me help you understand.

Challenges (I prefer challenges to problems) in life are resistance that makes us strong, if we choose to push against them. Challenges are life’s way of making us grow, let us learn, to be wiser, to be better. Challenges are life’s way to excite us and surprise us. Challenges are our allies. Challenges are GREAT!

Talk about mental shift, huh. But, that’s true (or so I CHOSE to believe).

So, how do see your challenges as? Your choice.

 Challenges are the strong tools, I would say, that push us on when we are so weak. However,according to the post, its how we view i that makes a big difference. It can either thrust us so far, turning every challenge to an opportunity that can potentially let us learn and grow ourselves. But to some people, they just view it as a prblem that cannot be solved and they let the problem or challenge takeover them. In this world, a competitive world, that its that degree or bachelor that decideswhere you go or work in future, we cannot let any problem takeover us or else, time and the problem will kill us…facing every challenge positively will enable us to be successful like anyone who has aleady achieved. Whoever is your inspiration, especially those in the business world, they only got to where they are now because they chose not to throw away prblems but see it as a opportunity to gow…Be inspired 

Don’t Follow The Crowd Or You Will Lose Out

 http://kenkohklan.blogspot.com/2008/03/dont-just-follow-crowdor-you-will-lose.html

Today, this article is written about a little irritant that I know, and about the clueless people that he has cheated for so long and so many years. So, I hope that by writing this, some people can start to spread the news, and the TRUTH and save others from falling into his tricks. DON’T BE TRICKED.

For the sake of my own safety, and to avoid any possible law suits, I cannot and shall not name anyone. So, if you connect what I said and can link to SOMEONE, it is YOU, not me ok! It just shows that you are smart enough to conjure up the “truth”. hehehe.

Alright, let me give this guy a nick name first. Kay Eh (Fake One in Hokkien).

Now, Kay Eh has been telling the whole world how, at a young age, he became millionaire lah, through his own business lah, through his own investment lah, through his hardwork and natural abilities lah. And because nice people, like you, are always compelled by the “bad boy turned good” success stories, they actually believed him, and alot actually buy his lies. And these people paid like huge amounts of money, not to mention, a huge price to pay for his services.

Well, HELLO. All those who have bought or intend to buy from Kay Eh. Please think and rethink again! Because, what I am going to say, is the true story. And if you have already bought for him, I am sure that you are going to kick yourself for believing him. Don’t kick yourself…too hard. Learn from this one time, and remember it well.

Ok, the truth of the story is this. Kay Eh, did become a millionaire at the young age, as compared to most people. But did anyone ever ask, who his dad and mom were? Did anyone even ask how he got his first million?

Looking at things, most probably no.

Before I tell you the whole story. Let me ask you this. Did you know that his dad is actually the Chairman of one of the biggest governing (not Government lah, Governing…there is a difference ok. ) agencies in the country and the mom is actually the Chief of one of the biggest (not in size literally) magazine in the country as well? Both of whom are like…erm…RICH??? Really RICH. So maths question one. 1RD + 1RM = Probability of 1 RS. Please guess the probability of 1 RS if, 1RD = 1 Rich Dad, 1RM = 1 Rich Mom, and 1RS = 1 Rich son. (1 being BOH KOH LENG [Impossible in Hokkien] to 10 being NO BRAINER CONFIRMED PLUS STAMPED)

Aaaah, that’s not all though. Kay Eh was already BORN better off than most others. That’s why, when he was considered as “Stupid” when young, his parents could affored to find him a good teacher to coach him. Where he finally changed for the better, because of the good teacher. Now, the second part of the story.

Kay Eh begged his teacher of 10 overs years to help him. So, he asked his teacher to create a product for him and allow him to run and profit from there more. Which, his teacher did and allowed him the freeplay to grow. Oh, of course he did grow. His teacher is one of the best around.

So Kay Eh was becoming richer and better off. But, I guess he felt it was not fast enough for him. So, he decided, why not become a “millionaire” at a young age, and sell the story, so people will buy more from his story? Which he did.

Now, at this point of time, Kay Eh became really, really intelligent. To get what he wanted, he betrayed his teacher, copied all his products, left him, and started the same kind of things going against his teacher, not to mention a similar company. Then, he got $800,000 which his RM left for him before she left. So combined with the $200,000 he got from the product his teacher helped him with, and the 800,000…ermm….please do maths problem 2. The answer of the total is? (Make a guess, it was mentioned in the earlier paragraphs.)

So if you ask me, how to become a millionaire? Well, in Kay Eh’s case, have rich parents, steal from people, and betray them. WOW, aren’t you just impressed with his character? And you thought that this kind of bad egg morons only appear in movies?

The reason why I have to bring this up, is because, Kay Eh has been influencing alot of people with the wrong value, teaching them the wrong things, and impacting them the wrong way. I come across alot of those who worked with him, and they ended up worse off. For those who don’t get help after him, or can’t afford to, their life just got worse. So, I just feel that I need to highlight this, before things get worse because there are many out there who do not know of the true stories, and foolishly follows him, he gets rich, off them.

So, I must first warn you, beware of those who keeps telling you they are millionaires, whether in the TV, Newspapers, Radio, or magazines. Ask yourself this question first, “Can he be trusted? What is his origin, the true origin?” before putting your money down. Don’t make the lousy guys rich, and end up poorer, yourself.

Of course, there are others who really worked their way up. And if you learn from them, you benefit alot. Like Sim Wong Hoo, Olivia Lum, and in the future, ME…hehehe

This is a post taken from one successful man that I have heard of. A mixture of his personal style because he is a Singaporean. Do not of this post. He has taught and made an impact in peoples’ lives even mine. To be successful, you lead yourself because you must see the end result first before moving on. The classic example above is just what can happen you do if you follow blindly. I advice you, follow WISELY! Let me ask you, does his passage make sense? That will determine much on how we think. If it does not make sense, I have nothing to say. If its because of the language, I urge you to post a comment and let me know so that I can explain so that this post can let you learn much instead of wasting your time reading this. Think then act, not the other way round. Thanks for reading, fellow successor in life.

3 Reasons Why People Don’t Succeed

Now, for most of you reading this post, you might already know the 3 reasons why people don’t succeed. It is not that they fail; they simply don’t succeed. We also know that there are no failures in life, only outcomes. But let’s not even talk about that. Let’s just talk about why most people don’t succeed.

The sad part about this is that there are countless people who know about it but still did not do anything about it! Worse, some are in denial! So, what are the 3 reasons why people don’t succeed?

My mentor, Ernest, shared with me the reasons why people don’t succeed. It is because they:
1) Give Excuses 2) Blame 3) Justify

First, they give 101 excuses why they can’t succeed. They say things like, “I’ve no time.” “I have no money.” “I don’t have the resources.” “I’m not that smart.” “My parents don’t support me.” and so on.

Second, they blame other people for not starting. They blame the environment, they blame the weather, they blame their friends, they blame their parents, etc. Basically, they blame everything and everyone else except themselves. Do you know of such people?

Third, they justify their actions or their inaction. In the dictionary, justify means to show or prove to be right or reasonable. No matter what they do, no matter what happens, they will do their best to prove that they are right. Sounds familiar?

Recently, I got a chance to chat online with one of my students. We started talking about each others’ dreams and stuff. And she told me that she don’t want to be a millionaire. I was quite taken aback and I naturally asked her why. She said that she wants to become a billionaire. Oh my! Why didn’t I think of that? Good for her. There’s nothing wrong with that. It only means she needs to put in the necessary work to become a billionaire. And it is not easy to become a billionaire. According to Forbes in 2008, there are only 1,125 billionaires in the whole wide world! That translate to only about o.oooo17% of the world’s population!!! Not even close to 1%.

Then she told me that she wants to become a chef and asked me if she can become rich by being a chef. The answer is definitely yes. It depends on how rich you want to be. But how rich you can be is determined by how good you are. If you are a good chef, you can probably be rich. But if you want to be extremely wealthy, then you have to move up to the next level. That is, you can’t stop at being a chef. You can own the restaurant, set up a training academy for chefs, franchise the business in different countries and so on. Only when you own a business, then being rich is a lot easier.

She then said that it would take a long time to do achieve it and currently, she only knows how to fry eggs!!! I said so what? Remember, it is not how good you are but how good you want to be. Yes, it may take a long time, but is there a shorter way to accomplish it? The answer is yes. She just needs to start training now and talk to the right people to get going. Because if you wait, then success will come even later. Let me ask you, when is the earliest time to start? The answer is NOW!!!

Guess what happen next to our conversation? My student then told me that her mom won’t allow her to cook at home, she don’t know how to cook, don’t know who to talk to, don’t know where to start, no money, no time and etc. So I asked her if she know why people don’t succeed and she said she know. Then I asked her if she falls into any of the categories and guess what she said? She said no! Can you believe it? If those things that she mentioned above are not excuses, I don’t know what they are.

She continued to say that those were not excuses, they are facts. I just laughed. Do you see it now? The sad thing is that people know about all these and yet they do nothing about it. They even deny and justify that they are facts. Yes, those things that she mentioned were real problems. But the question will be, what are you going to do about that? Are you going to allow your problems to stop you from achieving your goals. So what if your mom don’t allow you to cook at home? Go to your friend’s house, go enroll in a cooking course, go find ways to convince your mom, go do something about it!

Let me just say this, Successful people succeed in spite of their problems. Let me repeat, Successful people succeed in spite of their problems. Successful don’t give excuses, they don’t blame, they don’t justify their actions. They simply find ways to overcome their problems and do whatever it takes to succeed. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to succeed? How much effort and work are you willing to put in? How badly do you want to succeed?

If you are not committed, then it doesn’t matter what you do. But if you are truly committed, then you’ll definitely find a way round your problems. You’ll succeed in spite of your problems. So, the question is, do you fall into any of the 3 categories on why people don’t succeed? Are you giving excuses? Are you blaming? Are you justifying? If so, then it is about time you make the change.

And once you make the change, your LIFE, WILL NEVER, EEEEE………EEE……EEVER, BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!

This is a post from one of the trainers in a programme I just attended in school. During this 3 day course, I learnt alot from the trainers, all successful people in the professions that they are in. These are people that put in the hardwork since young to get to where they are currently. I respect them. Its a superteen workshop to help teenagers achieve success in life, if i can say. It has impacted the graduating batch of students in my school. But with success that comes along, what I have posted is prevent anyone to have a reason not to succeed. what were you born for? Just to eat, sleep and play? Why not choose to have a good life and make your 70-100 years on earth a purposeful one? As a saying goes, ” Every man lives and dies the same. Its what the man does in between that makes the difference”. Are you going to make that difference?
