HELP TO SAVE A MARRIAGE

Married or not you should read this...

“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.

So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up

DICTATE THE WAY OF YOUR LIFE

GRATITUDE BY CHERIE

"GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."







(Melody Beattie) xo x ♥ Thanks so much Cherie Michele Basile for the whole quote!

DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN

I HAVE A DREAM - MARTIN LUTHER KING

              

Metamorphosis, Butterflies and Change -Your Walk with God

Metamorphosis, Butterflies and Change -Your Walk with God

When I see a butterfly flying, I am reminded to pause and enjoy the miracle of their life, change, and flight. The metaphor of the butterfly for transformation is profound .God uses nature to teach us spiritual lessons. I believe that the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly is one example of this. As human beings, we are meant to grow: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

The process is as follows:

The caterpillar starts its life out as an egg.
Then it becomes a caterpillar.
As a caterpillar its job is to eat and eat AND eat some more until it bursts out of its skin.
When it is mature, it stops eating and starts spinning a silken pad, called a chrysalis, all around itself.
Then it rests. During this Special PERIOD OF REST, dormant(sleeping) cells now become energized and turn into the wings, legs, eyes, and other parts of the adult butterfly.
It stays in this chrysalis for a long time. Some varieties stay inside for a whole year! 

When God determines that it is ready, the former caterpillar slowly bursts out of its silken pad and is now a butterfly. It no longer has to crawl, it can now fly!

There are 3 Stages during our Spiritual Metamorphosis:

Feeding Stage: Where we "take in" and "feed on" the scriptures, focusing on learning about God . This is when our foundation is built.

Resting Stage: Where we digest what we have learned, meditate on God's character, stop to listen for His voice and start to trust Him and praise Him. This is where we learn what worship is.

Activity Stage: After being fed, and after resting in God's presence, we will be empowered with a new perspective on life and will desire from deep within to make a difference in our world. We will fly and God will be the wind beneath our wings. This stage can be compared to the journey of a faithful child of God .Our characters and personalities will be molded through hardship during this time. We will learn to "exercise" our faith during these times and our "faith muscle" will become stronger and stronger. If we had no struggles to overcome, our faith muscle would be flabby!


This is God's plan for us. In Romans 8:29 it says that we are to be "conformed to the image of His son." To become like Christ is our ultimate goal! We will take our spiritual development with us when we leave our physical bodies and move on into the timeless spiritual realm. Our development is very very important. That's why God won't always intercede to make life easy for us.

However, unlike the butterfly, I believe that we experience the different phases over and over again throughout our walk with God

Where are you MY BELOVED in your life? Are you a butterfly, soaring, enjoying your elegant manifestation? Are you a caterpillar getting the message that it is time to transition–time to do something different? Are you lying in a puddle of what once was you and what may be the future you? Are you sitting around and waiting for someone to give you permission or affirmation of your next step on your path? Are you looking at what would need to happen to take to get you out of your shell and coding it “hard work” which makes you disinclined to act on it? Alternatively, are you seeing the obstacles as learning experiences–pathways to your own inner strength and mastery?

Is it time to step fully and completely into the new version of you? That means letting to of everything in your life that is not serving you. You do not have to do it all at once. Just take the first step. Do the first thing. The rest will follow. And with each step forward you will feel more empowered. And you will find that you are supported

I have learned that when we let go of what is no longer serving and supporting us, we make room for what will. And like the caterpillar climbing out of its cocoon, it is a worthwhile trip.

GOLDEN ADVICE FROM EMERSON

Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

MARTIN LUTHER KING SPEECH - ANALYSIS

LIFE IS TO BE HAPPY

FEEL IT MORE IMPORTANT THAN HEAR IT

BEAUTY IS IN THE HEART

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

This is a true story that had happened in 1892 at Stanford University . Its moral is still relevant today.

 

 A young, 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not know­ing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. A friend and he decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.

 

 They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck. And the boys began to work to make the concert a success.

 

The big day arrived. Paderewski performed at Stanford. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total col­lection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight. They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honour the cheque soonest possible.

 

"No." said Paderewski. "This is not acceptable." He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys "Here's the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left" The boys were surprised, and thanked him profusely.

 

It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being. Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think "If I help them, what would hap­pen to me?" The truly great people think, "If I don't help them, what will happen to them?" They don't do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it's the right thing to do.

 

Paderewski later went on to become the Prime Minister of Poland. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the World War began, Poland was ravaged. There were over 1.5 mil­lion people starving in his country, and no money to feed them. Paderewski did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the US Food and Relief Administration for help. 

 

The head there was a man called Herbert Hoover - who later went on to become the US President. Hoover agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food grains to feed the starving Polish people. A calamity was averted.

 

 Paderewski was relieved. He decided to go across to meet Hoover and person­ally thank him. When Paderewski began to thank Hoover for his noble gesture, Hoover quickly interjected and said, "You shouldn't be thanking me Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remember this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college in the US . I was one of them."

 

The world is a wonderful place. What goes around usually comes around.

DON'T REGRET YOUR PAST

DON'T CONSENT TO IT

THAT'S HOW BUSINESS DONE

LIFE IS TO BE HAPPY

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

EXCEPTIONALLY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT

Dear loving readers and visitors,


I write to put on record the following Exceptionally Terrible experience I had gone through which I like to alert my blog readers and visitors to watch out so that they will not be treated in the same manner as I had experienced.


This event happened around 2:30 pm, Jan 29 (Sunday), 2012 where both my family and my guests have finished our lunch, at the Pantai Seafood Restaurant at Jalan Cempaka PJU/6A, Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara. My family members used to have our meals there as we find its food is up to our taste and liking.


I must say that this is my first and most horrible and unbearable experience with this restaurant.


They have not only overcharged me for items which I did not ordered. Thereafter, I requested the waiter ( foreigner worker) to make the necessary alteration to the bill. I, at the same time, handled him my credit card for his convenience.


After quite a while, a waitress approached me with the fresh amended bill but without my credit card. I immediately asked for my card. She then raised the question whether I can recognise the waiter or not. I then ask her to check it for me and she walked away with the bill and never returned. I then looked around for the waiter. Thank God that this waiter then appeared not far from my table. I then waved to him and he immediately denied that I had handed him my card, but just to request him to make the changes of the bill. My friend's wife, immediately testified that she saw me passed my card to him, he however denied and refused to look for it.


Luckily, someone heard our conversation and pointed my card at the floor, about a few steps away from my table. He then picked it up and walk toward the cashier without any apology. I then quickly followed him to the cashier. I reported the matter to the captain there. However, he took the matter lightly and disallowed me to report the case to the restaurant, which I demanded. He conveniently gave me an answer that his boss was unreachable. I took back my card and gave him a choice, either to let me to speak to his boss directly or he will get the payment later in his boss presence. I returned back to my table. He came back with a few of his staff to demand for immediate payment or else he will report the matter to police.


He left me with no option, but to take up his challenge because I do not want to bow to his unreasonable demand and threat. I told him repeatedly that I will walk the talk. He finally contacted his boss and after his private talk with the boss of the restaurant, Miss Ng , I explained the whole incident to his boss, in his presence and she then offered me a small discount. I did not take up the discount and felt insulted. I decided to pay for the full amount after all she did not convince me that they will take my complaint seriously. I really can't imagine the hassles I have to go through if the card was not found.


Thereafter, I decided to blog this experience so as to alert my blog readers and visitors to be cautious about such irresponsible attitude from the merchant. Please share with us how should we handle such unbearable experience in future. I seriously hope that this will be the last time they ill treat their customers.


My contentious points can be summed up as follows:-


a) How can the staff denied responsibility when he lost the card despite the customer having handed him the card in front of witnesses. Immediate denial will bring out much anger and anxiety in the customer, bear in mind that there is a witness present at the scene.


b) He has not demonstrated his duty of care to his customers by refusing to look for the credit card which he has dropped, on the way to the cashier despite being told repeatedly. His strong denial and refusal to bow to our reasonable demand is unbearable, which I hope this is the very first time and last time he will do to his customer.

c) How dare the senior staff even lied to the customers that the owner was not reachable, but instead counter threaten the customer with unreasonable demand for payment and offered a simple apology after the card was found?


Trust you too will benefit from the above lesson and please let us know if you have any better way to resolve the issues. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

HARDER TO GIVE UP

REAL MEN >>>>

MISSING SOMEONE ....

I CAN'T PROMISE YOU ..

TOGETHER WE CAN DO GREAT THINGS

BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF GOD

Dear Readers and visitors,

One good news that we need to share with you is on the promises of our Almighty and Loving God. He is a Sovereign God and yet had upheld every promise made since day one till today.

He is the God who loves each and every creation of His, particularly human beings, which were created out of His own image. God so loves the world that He send His only Son to redeem our sins.

From the above actions, they demonstrate well that God wants our passion for the supernatural part of Him that lives in us to grow to maturity for our good. Therefore, we must acknowledge His love and His best wishes for us. We can only reach His dream through our faith in Him, which serves as the bridge that will take us to the destiny. He destined those who believe in Him and even  is ever willing to guide and coach us to achieve it, out of His grace provided you are willing to abide to Him. As such, it is crucial important to believe the promises of God - no matter how unbelievable they appear - and you will eventually see evidence of what before, you could only imagine. This is what the faith is all about.

Faith is just like any skill which you need to exercise in order to strengthen and sharpen it. The challenges that are faced in our lives are meant to strengthen us, a similar process you have to go through so as to be a skillful sailor, where he needs to encounter storms and other challenges to sharpen his skill. So, remember that whenever you are faced with challenges, please do not be afraid, but rely on Him and let Him guide you to overcome it, so that you could gain maturity. Be mindful that I can do everything through Christ who strengthen me. Phil 4:13.

Let us together pray in His wonderful name that He uphold us every moment of our lives. Amen.

THE PASTOR AND HIS SON

A good reminder of God's Love.
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. 

The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'

 

His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'
'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.' Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring down rain.'
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'
Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.' Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go? Please?'
His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.'
'Thanks Dad!'
And with that, he was off and out into the rain. his eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract.
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch! He rang again and this time the door slowly opened. 

 

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' 

 

With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.'
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have any testimony or want to say anything?'

Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 

'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. 

Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. 

Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.' 

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' 

I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! 

The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.' 

Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to
my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.
You see---I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just
in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.
Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.
Don't let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Heaven is for His people!

Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.
Please share this wonderful message...
'Faith is the affirmation and the act that bids eternal truth be present fact.'

ARTICLE WRITTEN FROM MY SON

To all my blog readers and visitors,

Append below please find an article written by my eldest Son for your reading pleasure. 

I've been very fond of drawing and designing since young. On paper, I enjoy the freedom of expressing my ideas through the creations of my artworks. As I grew older, my interest in writing started to grow as I realize that language is a form of art as well, and through writing, ideas and thoughts can be conveyed precisely. I have faith that this passion of mine would serve  the community by expressing ideas that are beneficial to the society.

I'm very lucky because I'm a fast learner. With this blessing, I continuously seek knowledge and fully utilize and apply them creatively not only in my future career but also in life. I acknowledge that  there will be challenges ahead in life, however, when problems emerge, I don't back down, instead I would see it as an opportunity to grow. I would reason and analyze carefully because I believe that there are always solutions to any problems. 

Like they always say, we cannot live in solitude. Hence, I too believe socializing with others gives us opportunity to sharpen each other by sharing ideas and receiving feedback. I am easily adaptable as I can interact well with people and maintain good relationship with all parties. Through years of education and my bilingual family background, I manage to  hold both the values of the east as well the west, providing me with more than sufficient resources to nurture relationship with people of diverse background, sharing ideas and opinions to improve each other in various fields, in the mean time, improving the whole community. Therefore, I firmly believe that I can play a significant role in the society base on my unique strengths and talents.

We are here always love to welcome feedback, both good and bad. Thank you in advance.

Happy New Year 2012,

Clinton Oh

MANAGING CASH FLOW EFFECTIVELY

Dear friends,

How many of you have heard of the phrase "Cash is King"? I believe many of have. Why is cash King? This is because cash is the lifeblood of any company. It reflects the financial health of your business. The in and out of your cash flow will be the determining factor on how you manage your finances. If the inflow of money is not sufficient to cater for the needs of the business, it may somehow affect the viability of the company. Hence, cash flow is a key element of the success of any business. Without cash flow, the profits are meaningless. 

Some profitable business may even end up in bankruptcy or be wound up, should the amount of money flowing out is not comparative to the amount of money flowing in. Companies that has no good management of cash flow may not be able to make the investments necessary to compete, or may be forced to pay more in its loan activity.

Because of its crucial importance, I would like to share some tips with you on how to manage the cash flow effectively:

1. Make a projection of cash flow over a periodic of time.

Always determine how much the inflow before determining the future cash to be spent. Pay accordingly to the priority especially if there is a heavy penalty fee imposed should you not settle on or before its due date. Interest and overdue charges may be very expensive and this is an added expense for your business.

2. Cash collection needed to be reviewed and improved constantly.

To encourage your clients to pay on time or earlier is a wise move. Alternatively, you may request some down payments for ordered purchases, if applicable. Review and monitor receivables regularly and identify those that are about to become due.

3. Try not to pay debts earlier than due date even if there is cash available for you to do so, always on due date.

Establishing a good pay master  track record with your suppliers will help you  build goodwill for your company. This will assist you in obtaining more flexible and better payment terms and conditions.

4. You may make good use of the surplus funds at any period of time to earn some interest income by placing them into the money market. The quantum of interest income generated is very much dependent on the period of the available surplus fund and the interest regime at that particular time.

Therefore, it is very rewarding for anyone who is willing to work hard and smart to accomplish strong cash flow. To do so, you are required to analyze and manage your cash flow more effectively and fruitfully.

By now, you are able to see how cash flow will determine failure and success of any business. Sometimes one will have to a pay heavy price for just stretching the payment terms.
