HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING BOOK

Hi! everyone,

Some of you may know or heard of the great author, Ms Lilou Mace, of the above book. I find it very inspiring and am very excited to share it with you. This book is good for light reading;  very lively, inspiring and you don't want to put it down until you finish it. It tells you how the author turn a deeply sad event, most people will not be able to take it, into a blessing for her. She discovered this is not an end, but it is just a turn. I write a brief summary for you to have a foretaste of the book.



I LOST MY JOB AND I LIKED IT

30-Day Law-of-Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker. Oprah-inspired 1.9-million-viewers to view  YouTube phenomenon.  Lilou Mace uses Law of Attraction to write and publish book on finding a dream job within weeks of being sacked, launching a dream career in the process.  French-American Londoner Lilou Mace has made the recession work for her, turning the loss of her job into a promising career as a writer-publisher in under two months. Started on 16 February 2009, the day she lost her job as an Internet Marketing Director, I LOST MY JOB AND I LIKED IT, 30-Day Law-of-Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker tracks her every thought and action as she uses all her skills and knowledge to establish her dream career.

Job loss an opportunity

Lilou comments: “When I was fired from the job that I had left Chicago for, I realised that the moment had come to put everything I had learnt to the test. I had used the Law of Attraction to meet Oprah Winfrey, and she had inspired me to launch a TV show in Chicago. I had co-founded the international ‘Co-Creating
Our Reality’ Internet community. I had built a following of thousands on You Tube. Until I was fired, however, I had not had the courage to risk everything and put my belief in the Law of Attraction and all my skills and knowledge (visualisation, meditation, reiki, healthy eating…) to the test. It was time to prove that
these things work!

“I was guided to self-publish in order to help those suffering in this economic crisis as soon as possible, and the contacts and technology to enable me to do this appeared as if by magic. The publicity will work that way too, because that is the Law of Attraction. London Mayor Boris Johnson has already been caught
on video making off with a copy of my book!”

To the best of Lilou’s knowledge this is the first time anyone has illustrated the workings of the Law of Attraction by publishing such a day-by-day, step-by-step journal. Lilou has started work on another book and is confident that her career/mission to empower millions is well underway.

Lilou Mace Biography
31-year-old, born in 1977 in Santa Barbara, California, of French parents (restaurateurs). Largely grew up in Nantes, France, although lived in Scottsdale, Arizona, from the age of six to eight. Her habit of keeping
a diary helped her cope with the trauma of leaving her childhood friends when she moved back to France, and with the divorce of her parents when she was 12. This journaling habit ultimately led to her YouTube blogging and to I LOST MY JOB AND I LIKED IT.

In the late 1990s Lilou did a degree in European Business Studies, studying both in France and at Oxford Brookes University, England.

She moved to the USA in 2000. Living in Florida, she founded “Co-Creating Our Reality” with Sandy Grason and Laura Duksta, an Internet-based community designed to help people support each other as they implement the Law of Attraction in “100-Day Reality Challenge” periods. The community has thousands of members in 125 countries.

Moving to Chicago, Lilou used the Law of Attraction to meet Oprah Winfrey. Inspired by her she started her own TV show, originally called My Juicy Life and then Live a Juicy Life, on which she interviewed the authors of motivational and self-help books, a practice she continued on YouTube.

Lilou’s video interviews and blogs, charting her progress as she lives according to the Law of Attraction, have acquired a massive YouTube following, with nearly two million views to date.

All the above activities were done in parallel with a career as a self-employed Internet marketer. In mid- 2008 Lilou decided to move back to Europe and acquired a job in London as an Internet Marketing Director for a global hospitality company. Being made redundant, on 16 February 2009, was possibly the best thing that ever happened to her!

SIX KEY WAYS TO BUILD WEALTH

Hi ! Everyone,


To build wealth, you need to know where to begin  and how to work towards your ultimate goals. As inflationary pressure increases  yearly, you need constant and lasting efforts to review your strategies to sustain it. However, if you opt to grow your wealth speedily, you have to take pro-active strategic plans to explore all possibilities to obtain the highest yields from your investments. You also need to make use of all your resources to generate highest wealth possible. In reality, you not only need to think fast, but also to act fast, to reap the highest returns as the market is getting more and more transparent.


In this article, I have laid down some of the tips which you may find useful as a guide in creating your wealth. 


1 Constantly review and evaluate your resources


To build wealth, you must constantly review and evaluate all resources you already have. Make full use of existing resources to enhance your wealth, but at the same time,  enlarge your resources  to create new wealth and expand existing wealth. The double effect growth will accelerate growth much faster than the inflation rate and it will enhance your real wealth. If the rate you generated is equal to the rate of inflation, then, the absolute increase in your wealth is not a true increase in wealth. It is just a trade off against  losses due to increase of inflation rate. 


Resources here does not necessarily represent just financial means, but may refer to your talents, skills, experiences, ideas, and network. You may turn all these non financial means into monetary terms. You can not afford to underestimate all these non financial resources especially in today's Information and knowledge world. For you to reap maximum return, you need to constantly explore all  possibilities to ensure that all these resources give you the highest yields possible. You must also be aware that the higher the yield, the higher the risk.


2 Strategic Plan


After you have an indepth knowledge of your position, you have to work out your best strategies that suit the current market conditions in order to move to the next higher wealth level. You need this plan to navigate yourself towards your ultimate objectives. Without such a plan, you will navigate a ship without direction. However, no matter how good the plan is, it will not guarantee  success. To achieve  success, you need to constantly monitor performance of each resource and make  necessary adjustments due to changes in external factors.  To be effective, such adjustments or alternations need to be taken as soon as possible.


3. Priority lead to Prosperity


You must set creating wealth your priority.  You need to presevere and be persistent in working towards the ultimate objective, no matter what happened to you. For example,  if you need to have  fixed monthly savings, then you must issue your first cheque towards that fund no matter what happened to you. You have to try all possible means to obtain such fixed amount. If not, you have to recoup double the amount the following month and you have to increase the duration  of time to be on track with your original plan.


4.  Persistence and consistence


To ensure its sustainability, you need to work towards your ultimate goals persistently and consistently. As such, you need to stay focus on your goal at all times so that you are not side track by other matters that may cause you stumble. To do so, you need a convinced and convicted heart to carry out your commitment persistently and consistently in accordance to your belief.


5. Have faith in it


Building wealth is just like the ordinary and prudent builder. To have a strong and unshakeable house, you need to build it on strong foundation. Similarly, for wealth builder you need to have a strong faith which will serve as the foundation for you to build your wealth on it. Once you have faith in it, you will stay focus on your goals and concentrate all your energies and efforts in building it. Of course, you may face some barriers, but these barriers are placed to strengthen your faith. Through all the trials and adversities, you will sharpen your skills and use this adversity to lead you to the way of success. It is operating exactly like the ship captain, who need to confront the waves and storms to become skillful. You must be able to see clearly how faith works and directs you to look at thing from the right perspective at all times. In reality, it is always much easier said than done.


6. Stay in control


To build wealth steadily, you must be able to stay in control of yourself. Otherwise, you will be easily tempted by greed or be entrapped by your rivals. Stay in control here mean you must not let your emotions  control you directly or indirectly. You need to know precisely what action to take and its implication to your ultimate objectives. In other words, you need to know what risks you are taking and how much you can afford to lose and how you can cover such losses so that it will not seriously affect your ultimate goal. If not, do not be surprised that you may  follow the foot steps of those billionaires who have committed suicide in the recent global financial crisis. Always bear in mind the wealthier you are, more people will prey on you.


Thanks for your precious time and hope that the above tips are useful to you. Wish you a success,

FEAR AND ITS HARM

Hi! everyone,


For those who have read my preceding article, “Steps to Overcome the Major Obstacles of Staying Healthy”, will have some insights as to how to overcome these major obstacles in general. 

Today, I am going to talk about fear and the harms it may cause if you do not handle it well. It is always a misconception that successful men do not have fear.  The only difference is that they know how to turn the fear to desire compared to the not so successful men.

Therefore, we need to constantly check and review our situation to ensure that we are not its captive because its destructive power can not be underestimated.

1. FEAR WEAKENS US

Fear robs us of our inner peace and makes us paralyzed by doubts or frustrations.  If left unchecked, it will eventually cause us to abandon our faith and hope. Without faith and hope, we will lose our direction and destination.

Here, you can see clearly that fear is an emotion that caused us to pay interest in advance on a debt that we never owe. Worst still, fear can be anything - real, imagine or perceived. It may attack you anytime, it can grow and ultimately take control of you.

2. FEAR CAUSES PROCRASTINATION

Just imagine if your mind is busy speculating on all sorts of bad things that may happen to you, you will then find your mind to be either pre-occupied or clouded with abundance of negative things. As a result, no positive action will be taken. Inaction will lead you to no success. In short, you will remain status quo which will not only hinder you from moving forward but will also lead you to depression or a prisoner of fear. Here, we have to acknowledge and admit that everything in life has some degree of risks. There is no way to escape from such risks. Risks or challenges in fact add colors to life.

3. FEAR WASTES ENERGY

"Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is" is well described by an old German adage. Most of the times, defeats are caused by people who give in to the fear itself. This is because it holds them back by making them think of unnecessary things. As a result they have to waste valuable energy. In short, fear can push you towards the wrong direction by producing nervous energy that makes you unable to perform in a new situation. Alternatively, it can also sap your energy as you try to overcome the paralyzing effect that is holding you back.

 4. FEAR BREEDS MORE FEAR

Similar to success, fear breeds more fear. What is worse is fear itself. It is an unknown belief that comprises anything that makes you doubtful or suspicious. It can exaggerate itself until it becomes like a monster that can take control of you and make you captive of fear.  It is something intangible and it lies inside us. It is not necessary real; so long as you comprehend it as danger then it is sufficient to capture yourself. Sometimes, fear can provoke adverse action which is harmful to us, such as taking drugs so as to numb ourselves to the fear.

5. PREVENT US FROM REACHING OUR POTENTIAL

Being captive of fear will cause you to be doubtful and makes you fearful to attempt, thus losing the opportunity to win. Without trials and testing, how can you reach your potential?

I hope this article will give you a good grasp of fear so that you will not let fear rule and ruin your lives. In the following article I will try to provide you some tips on how not to let fear bothers you again.

So, stay tuned for the forthcoming article. Look forward to seeing you again.

PRIORITY LEAD TO PROSPERITY

Hi! everyone,


One of the keys to success is being meticulous. You need to pay close attention to  details so as to master a particular trade. This profound principle also applies to wealth creation process.


Saving is the main core step in wealth creation. It was highlighted well by Ben Franklin "Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship." We can't deny that it forms the fundamental pillar in sustaining wealth. As such, no matter how small you begin, it will eventually turn into your financial reserve, which will then be used as a bridge to the next higher level of wealth. This reserve is required to cushion you throughout the waiting period for your harvest. Here, I am not disputing that you may get instant windfall on your investment venture, but the probability is remote.


At the same time, it is not wise for you to live in another extreme scenario whereby you keep on cutting expenses until you do not live life at all. Therefore, you need draw a line where to put a stop.


Alternatively, you may make some alteration to your spending pattern in a such way that can bring more benefits for the extra you spent. For instance, you may reward yourself with a gift/ have a celebration for your new achievement. This is important because it will drive you further to achieve a next higher target in the long run. By doing so, you will also have a more meaningful life. In reality, this sort of benefits may be difficult to quantify with accuracy especially if you want to take into account those intangible benefits that associate with the extra you have spent.  Here, you have to use your gut feeling or experience to gauge this value. No doubts, it is very subjective and arbitrary. But, we have to take it into consideration so as to give us a fair value of it.


However, it may be even more complicated especially if we wanted to book in the value of its indirect benefits such as good feeling which may indirectly enhance your productivity due to the good effect derived from the extra money that you have spent.


Your judgment will only improve through trials and testings. Individual's wealth management skills are also not exempted from this process. Similarly, saving is a skill where you have to practise until it become part of you, i.e. ingrained as a habit. You will then be able to be in control of yourself and not spend lavishly, without affecting your main financial goals. Despite the fact that you allow some deviation against saving, you are in overall control of keeping  your financial goals intact. This is because  you have  mastered the skill that allows you to control your spending pattern so as not to affect your overall financial structure. No one can challenge you in this aspect because you are the only one who knows your financial destination. This operate exactly like the ship captain who maneuvers his ship when he faces with unexpected storms or other challenges that come along his voyage.


Some use budgeting tools to navigate their spending pattern to keep their finance on track towards their financial destination. I am not against this idea. However, I want to warn you that more than often we will not achieve our  budget no matter how well you prepared it. In reality, there are so many unknown factors which are not possible to predict with accuracy. A good examples is the fluctuation of the foreign exchange rate. Therefore, your experience and skill will come into play in these areas to assist you to make those necessarily adjustment that will not have any adverse impact on your financial destination.


It is clear by now that priorities lead to prosperity. Your financial prosperity will be your most highest priority and you will prepare to do anything to ensure that this priority will stay intact no matter what happens to you.  By focusing on that particular financial prosperity, coupled with other values such as persistence and power of concentration, I  see no reason why you cannot achieve it.


Once you have achieved your financial destination, the more challenging issue is how to sustain it. You must be aware that it is much more easier to achieve your financial destination than sustaining it. To sustain it, you need to stay in control at all times. Bear in mind that the more wealthier you are, the higher risks you are exposed because more swindlers will prey on you than others. You also need to be guarded against your own temptations which more than often make you stumble. What bring you up may bring you down as well. That is the law of nature that has been operating throughout the human history.

A stark assessment of the real world

Hi everyone,

       A stark assessment of the real world.  Ponder over it.

---

Realize you have the power to make a difference. Truer words were never spoken..... This should be posted in all schools and work places. Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. If you agree, share it out. If you can read this - Thank a teacher! Seeing you again, James Oh

SIX KEY WAYS TO GET INSPIRED

Hi! everyone,


Staying inspired is a tough job for most people, if not all. Even entrepreneur may sometimes find it difficult to stay inspired because he may also be caught in the circumstances that are unfavourable. As such, knowing that life is getting tough and the tough get going.  Therefore, he has to continuously find somethings to inspire himself.


Take this blog for an example, no doubts I like to share and exchange my thoughts, experiences, skills and ideas with other. However, it is not easy to put all these in writing, worse still in a precise manner as I wish. Luckily, I know and apply the success formula to stay in this course.


Here, I  share some of the things I do so as to keep myself inspired and in high spirits.


1. HAVE FAITH IN IT 


Whatever you do, you must always have faith in it. Otherwise it will lead you no where. I am lucky to say that I have gone through numerous trials till it has ingrained in me that I do not have much difficulty in having faith in whatever I pursue. No doubts, sometimes I may side track  for a while. I somehow manage to bounce back to a level higher than when I began to fall.


2. CONSTANTLY FEEDING OUR MINDS WITH POSITIVE STUFF


I would say that reading great articles, books, bible and magazines are the main contributors to keep me inspired and in high spirits. As a result, I am able to stay focused and not get influence by surrounding negative events.


In this connection, cautious steps must be taken to ensure that positive materials are fed into our minds. Our minds need all these positive and healthy materials to strengthen them just like our muscles need vitamins.


3. CONSTANTLY STAYING WITH POSITIVE MINDED PEOPLE


I hope everyone has a group of either family members or friends he can lean on. It is important to have a good conversation with someone who has the same belief like you as he can really lift your spirits, especially someone you admire.


Thankfully I am blessed with a number of successful people and friends who are sincere about my success and always give me courage to do what I desire.


4. USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO FAN YOUR DESIRE


Similarly, you need more than daydreams and wishful wishes to get the juice flowing. This is important to keep you moving ahead towards your goals. I can't find any better way than this and I can't see anyone can help me if I don't do so.
To me this is the main ingredient of the magic formula which will assist you to overcome whatsoever obstacles you are facing. This is the internal power that lie inside you which is more important that what lies ahead of you.


5. POSITIVE WORDS, ACTION AND APPROACH


Whether you like it or not. the law of nature states that positive words will attract positive thoughts and actions. Similarly, negative words will attract negative thoughts and actions. So, I do not need to elaborate  any further and assume you will know what to do if you want to stay inspired.


6. LISTENING TO INSPIRING MUSICS OR TAPES


This may seem obvious and workable to some of you. So why not let inspiring music or tapes  get your creative juices flowing out? If you have not try it, I encourage you to take this challenge. I have tried them out and am satisfied with the results.


Please feel free to share your experience or thoughts through the comments or email to me at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you in advance.


Stay tuned again and look forward to hearing from you,


James Oh

HOW TO LIVE WELL

Very happy day to my dearest friends,

In my previous article, I have given you the true meaning and the methods of creating wealth.

In this article, I am going to lay down some of the useful steps you can adopt to create your wealth so that you can live well.

1. SPEND LESS THAN YOU EARN.

This is the most crucial step to take so as to create wealth. However, this is more often than not being overlooked. People tend to have a misconception of saving and tend to believe that it is a matter of reducing their standard of living. The truth is that it can make a huge difference in their wealth creation. Just imagine every dollar you saved will be invested so as to create more wealth. If you choose to spend the money, both the money and its future benefits will be wasted.

2. QUIT BUYING CRAP

To avoid buying craps, you should always make sure that the items you buy are necessities and not luxuries. You should do away those want lists that are not essential. They are not only to give you a better feeling, but worse still may be short live in nature. Later on, you may need to find a place to store them. Worse, you may have to waste your precious time to tidy up your stores, thus leaving you little or no time to create your wealth. Do not forget that time is money. Here, you must be well aware that most of the purchases are made based on emotion rather rationale.

3. FORGET ABOUT TRYING TO IMPRESS PEOPLE

You should not be bothered how other people view the way you spent your money. In reality, most of us buy things just to impress our peers or egos. Do not get me wrong, you may spend on those luxury items that can generate more residual income than the depreciated value of your assets.

4. MAKE SAVING A TOP PRIORITY
Life is the sum of choices. Therefore, it is crucial for you to set the priority right in accordance to your objectives. As such, to create wealth, you must set saving as your top priority. It should not be construed as cutting back. It is wise for you to spend more on higher quality products, which will cost less in the long run.

Alternatively, you may use it for creating a long term wealth.

5. WEALTH BUILDING ASSETS

To hedge your wealth against inflation, you need to invest the excess of your saving money in wealth-building assets that give you a return higher than the inflation rate. No doubts, the economy today is more inclined to the investors or entrepreneurs than savers. So, to take these advantages to its fullest, you need to align your strategies toward this inclination.

However, you need to aware of its risks as well. As such, you need to equip yourself appropriately and adequately with skills and know-how so as to ensure that you create the highest possible yields for your wealth-building assets.

6. KEEP IT SIMPLE

Never under estimate the power of simplicity. This can be the most sophisticated thing we do with our money. This is because we need to aware that complication is the friend of con artists/ crooks. You should not let your greed and desire for high returns make you confuse and blur. Be aware and do not get involve in those complicated loans or investment deals that could rob you blindly. You need to take precautions to safeguard this measure.

Be careful that you are not enticed by those who claim that your investments are fully guaranteed or they are secured collateral or insurance? They make everything sound sophisticated, so as to fool otherwise reasonable people. Be cautious not to be trapped by these scams. Be wary of your greed.

7. SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

As warned by Ben Franklin "Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship."

To hasten your dream of creating more wealth, you have to sweat the small stuff. For those of you who are familiar with the compound interest calculation, you will know what I am talking about. Just check the annuity table and you be amazed how fast you can become a millionaire when you save a dollar daily at a fixed interest rate.

I hope both of the articles will not only give you a clear framework but also practical tips to create your wealth.

Wishing you every success. Stay tuned and look forward to seeing you again.

Embracing Imperfection

Happy day to my dearest friends,


In this post, I am so excited to share with you a story by a girl :-



A story by a girl.

"When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad For burning the toast. And 'll never forget what he said: 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if He really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Debbie, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
And besides-a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!' You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best housekeeper or cook.'

What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults - and choosing to celebrate each other's differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket but into your own."

Hope you have learned a good lesson.

HEALTHY EATING

Very happy day to everyone of you,


I am so excited to share the mail below, which I received from from one of my younger brothers and I believe it is very useful to you.





Eating Fruit - 
 

Dr Stephen Mak is a friend of mine at the BSF course. He told me he treats terminal ill cancer patients by "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. He explains to me before he is using solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients.  He believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses. See the article below.

Dear Shereen,
Thanks for the email on fruits and juices. It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%. Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not? I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments.. Very few can live for 5 years under the convenctional treatments and most live for only about 2 to 3 years. The conventional treatments do not make any difference because most cancer patients also live for about 2 to 3 years without undergoing any treatment. It is difficult to cure those cancer patients  who have undergone chemo and radiotherapy as their cells are toxic and weak. When there is a relapse, the cancer will spread very fast as the resistance is poor.
Thanks and God bless.
Dr Stephen Mak   

EATING FRUIT... It's long but very informative � We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat. � What is the correct way of eating fruits? � IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. � If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. � FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. � In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... � So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining — every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc — actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! � Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach. � There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. � When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. � But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! � KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange. � APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.. � STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. � ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer. � WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. � GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. � Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. � A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive. � A cardiologist says if everyone who shares this message with 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this....It could save your life!!   Please share it with other especially those who intend to pursue health and happiness.

THREE BASIC PROCESS OF WEALTH CREATION

To all of my dearest readers and visitors,

After hearing lots of misconception of wealth creation, I see there is an urgent need for me to put it right according to its true meaning and to disclose the methods of creating wealth.

It is also my intention to coach and assist people to build their wealth so as enable them to be financial independent so that they can take control of their lives. However, each person must be clear that he has to be accountable to himself and have to take appropriate steps to work towards that end. No one can help himself to achieve that end if he does not desire to do so.

All of us have to be mindful that we need to know how to fish, which is the only way, we can assure ourselves of having fishes for the rest of our life. No offence is intended to anyone and please read this article with an open mind.

WEALTH DEFINITION

To create wealth, it is vitally important to get its’ definition right. It is not equal to richness. Richness is a relative and subjective term which has no definite meaning. Wealth is also not equal to income. A huge income does not guarantee that it will generate wealth. It is very much dependent on the person consumption habitst. Wealth is the residual income after deducting all the expenses. As such, wealth is defined as the Net Worth that is the accumulation of your residual income over time. Therefore, to create constant and lasting wealth, you need to add value to all your financial resources. These financial resources are simply utilised to create added residual value over time.

Wealth Creation usually involves three simple processes, which are listed below for your reference and understanding.

1. CREATE WEALTH

Once you fully understand its’ true meaning, you are able to work toward creating wealth precisely and confidently. The key here is to create as much residual income as possible. Residual income is total income minus all expenses wholly incurred to generate that income. Here, you can see that it is not the quantum of the income, but what remains after expenses deduction that is important.

To create wealth, you have to control your consumption, at the same time increase your residual income. In reality, you always have a choice either to spend the residual income away to acquire a higher lifestyle; or be frugal and save more. Egos and financial peer pressure dictate how you spend or to use it to create more wealth to you. Many of us have wealth creation fantasies but few of us will see our fantasies materialise in our lives.

2. ACCUMULATE WEALTH

It is always important to note that not all assets are of equal value in promoting long-term wealth. The real key to creating wealth is very much dependent on how much is spent on acquisition of assets that really appreciate in value.

A person, who spends on things that depreciate in value, will decrease his wealth.  We must invest in assets that will actually increase in value, and thereby increase our personal net worth over time. Therefore, when more money is spent on Wealth-building Assets, the faster you will achieve a higher net-worth.

Here, perhaps you may be able to relate it with the implication of compound interests over time. Just imagine that you save a dollar every day with a fixed rate of interest, the annuity table will tell you how many years you will become a Millionaire. It is amazing, right.

3.  MONITOR AND GROW THE WEALTH

Once you have accumulated several wealth building assets, you need to comprehend its nature of trade and its risks profile so as to take full advantage of its potential.

Here, you need to monitor and review each type of wealth-building assets in term of its return, growth in value and potential value. You will note that some assets give you a much higher return as compared to the others. Higher return assets may however carry higher risk exposure.

To ensure that the wealth buildings assets give you the highest possible yields, you need the expertise of that trade so as to grasp the highest yield for your wealth-building assets at any time. Needless to say that you need the skills and know- how for you to create the highest possible wealth for yourself.
However, you must also realise that you need to purchase other type of assets out of necessity, for entertainment or other reasons.

Some examples of non-wealth building assets are:
-- TVs
- Furniture, unless those appreciate over time.
- iPods

However some of these assets may add value to you indirectly such as when it facilitates your work and generates more value than the amount you spend on them.

No doubts debts can kill. However, if you can use debts to generate income which exceeds the cost of borrowing and also generates cash inflow that is more than sufficient to settle its due installment, then, it makes sense for you to leverage on debts to generate more residual value for you.

I trust this article gives you an insight and understanding of the true meaning of wealth and the simple three process of creating, accumulating and managing its growth. With this clearly in your mind, you will be able to take  appropriate steps to build your wealth. This is a very basic and fundamental framework for everyone who intends to build wealth and it is vitally important to get this right in the first place.

Wishing you every success. Stay tuned and look forward to seeing you again.
