NO SECRET OF SUCCESS

NOT JUSTIFY BY LOUDNESS

 

THE ABOVE QUOTATION REMINDED ME OF THE MALAY PROVERB

SOUNDS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EMPTY AND FULL TANKS

DON'T GIVE UP

SILENCE MAY BE POWERFUL

SILENCE MAY BE POWERFUL AND IMPACTFUL
JUST LIKE A PAUSE IN PUBLIC SPEACKING

PROVIDED YOU USE IT APPROPRIATELY
AND CORRECTLY IN THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION

THAT WARRANT YOU TO DO SO
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THIS TOOL

NEVER GIVE UP

Good day my wonderful, AND beautiful buddies! 


I was tagged by one my fb friends with the message as follows:-

Yesterday an auntie told me that she is too old to try new things and feels afraid of failure 

and embarrassment. On the other hand I read in the news yesterday that the oldest man to 

run the marathon is 101 years old! And he was in Singapore last Sunday to run the 10km 

Stanchart event. This is truly amazing! I really feel that a lot of things are in our minds and I

hope we can also learn something from this 101 year old man. Do not let doubts fill our 

minds or negative thoughts paralyze us into inaction. Let us dare dream a new 

dream and make it come true! Have a glorious and fulfilling day my dearest friends! ♥ ♥ ♥ ;-

) ♥ ♥ ♥

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ~ C.S. Lewis.

I find it very inspiring and benefiting from it. As a result, I also write to share mines as

follows:-

My late father had travelled across an ocean from China to marry my mother in Malaysia. She is a local lady.

As such, I am a product of a migrant from Main Land China and a local lady. Both are illiterate. Luckily, 4 out of my 6 siblings are university graduates, that made both our parents very proud.

Despite our early and tough struggle, we were given lots of freedom. Our parents never check our school homework but somehow we realised, valued and recognised the importance of an education.

My mum's famous quote is "born in beggar's faith, but possess emperor's heart", when I tried very hard to pursue further studies especially when I quit my job with late Professor, Yap Han Heng to do my Form 6 on self sustaining basis.

How will you feel when someone has been using the method you taught her many years ago ? The one person who has benefited for so many years from my advice, out of one unpleasant incident is my mother. Applause.

Look at the photo above, the date torn from a calendar that was glued to the gas cylinder may not trigger anything for you. However it reminded me of this sweet memorable event that as a young boy ,  who ran out of patience, told my mother this idea. 

It happened when I heard her voice vividly asking me repeatedly to buy one item after another from the sundry shop, a walking distance from our low cost flat, while she was preparing our meals.

At that time, I was in my last few hours preparing for my examination. I was summoned by her when she discovered that she ran out of cooking oil. She has to shout repeatedly because I concentrated on my study despite our flat is as big as pigeon hole. 

I had no other choice, but to set aside everything I was doing. I rushed to get the cooking oil back. However,  upon return and just about ready to begin my revision. 

She called me again and without much hesitation I immediate answered her. She told me to get onions for her as she just discovered that she ran out of stock.

I had to put everything aside and rush to the shop again to buy for her. 

After my second return but before I warm up my seat, I was  called again, this time she wanted me to get her another item. I was a bit annoyed, and told her to list down all items she need in a list, without any diplomatic tone. She replied with a strong reason that she couldn't do so because she is illiterate. 

Instantly, I brush aside her reason and counter attack her to either draw it down or paste the picture on a piece of paper so as to remind her.

After many years I left my house to pursue my higher studies in Selangor, I still see her practicing till today and the impact I left on my love ones.

What really made me happy was to see someone I love benefiting from my creative way of doing thing to improve her lifestyle despite she had always given excuses of being too old to learn.

HONEY - EXCELLENT FOR HEALTH

ABOUT HONEY...THE REAL STORY

Honey is the only food (liquid) on the planet that will not spoil or rot.

It will do what some call turning to sugar.

In reality honey is always honey.
However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do
what I rather call "crystallizing".
When this happens I would loosen the lid, boil some water, and let the
honey container sit in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it
liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.
Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the
enzymes in the honey.

CINNAMON AND HONEY
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.
Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and
Cinnamon cures most diseases.
Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.
Scientists today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective)
medicine for all kinds of diseases.
Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet,
if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue, dated 17 January, 1995
has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey
and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of
jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast.
It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from
heart attack.
Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process
daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.
Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and
strengthens the heart beat.
In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients
successfully and have found that as you age,
the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey
and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot
water with two spoons of honey and

one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent
research conducted at the Copenhagen University ,
it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a
mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon

cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out
of the 200 people so treated,

practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month,

mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of
arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a
glass of lukewarm water and drink it.
It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed
in 16 ounces of tea water,
given to a cholesterol patient, were found to reduce the level of
cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours
as mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any
chronic cholesterol is cured.
According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey
taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon
lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily
for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and
clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears
stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan ,
it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach
is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system
and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks.
Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.
Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight
bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before
food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural '
Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patientfrom
flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests
the ravages of old age.
Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three
cups of water and boil to make like tea.
Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and
soft and arrests old age.
Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing
the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste.
Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next
morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks,
it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected
parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty
stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon
powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the
weight of even the most obese person.
Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to
accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie
diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced
cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully.
Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one
tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder
for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more
helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.
Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts,
are more alert and flexible.
Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of
honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder,
taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M.
when the vitality of the body starts to decrease,
increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one
teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water,
so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal
parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids?
We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR - PAMELA JONES

About the Author

Pamela “Penlady” Jones is an online writer. She researches on a variety of topics. Her works are published on Hubpages and Ezine Articles. She also blogs at Informational Health Blog.

James: When did you begin to write?

I began writing after graduating from college in 1995.

James : What make you to think of publishing a book to share with others and at the same time encourage others to share their faiths? So far what is your worst criticism/attacks, and how you overcome it? 

   I love  to write information that improves people's lives. So what better way to offer improvement than to write an eBook. Although my eBook isn't of religious nature, I do offer advice on using a Christian online dating service. This is necessary; the reason being is if you're a Christian looking to date a Christian, then you should specifically go to such a site.

I've been blessed that I haven't faced any criticism with this eBook yet. Then again, it's still new! However, I know that if it does meet opposition, God will help me to rise above the critical words.

James: How you come up with title of your books?

The fact that online dating is virtual is a no-brainer. Additionally, I believe that this eBook has everything you need to know in order to be safe and smart with online dating. So, that's how the title comes about.

James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?

  With this eBook as well as the others that I will write in the future, will always have information to educate people. It's not my mission as a writer to belittle people by showing what they don't know. Instead, I want to educate people so that they can make the best and right decisions for their lives. 

James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?

 I want readers to know that this eBook wasn't written to push anyone into online dating. I wrote it for the purpose of being safe and smart while engaging in it. Whether or not a person decides to engage in it is their choice.

James: When do you plan to publish your book 2, if applicable? 

 I want to publish it ASAP; hopefully before the year ends. I have a very busy schedule as a writer, including working with clients. So I basically have to work everything into my schedule. The good part is, my second eBook is already written. I just have to edit it. 

James : How many volume of books for the above series? 

Just one. I don't think I'm into series - at least not yet. I prefer to cover a topic thoroughly and then move on to the next one. 

James: Tell us your guided principle that governs your life? How you cultivate these values?

    Follow God and you'll never be misguided. If the Lord isn't leading you to do something, then it's something you don't need to do.  

James: Is there any other advice which you like to share with our readers? 

Keep going. No matter how tough the road gets, keep going until you see the light.

MY 1ST SPEECH EVALUATION ON "FALL AND MOVE ON"

SPEECH EVALUATION ON "FALL AND MOVE ON"

Smile. TM Susan,

Congratulations. You have achieved your speech objective. You have varied your voice, pitch, rate and tones according to the content of your entire speech. Well done.

Your speech title, "Fall and move on" is direct and straightforward. You began with a story, a great fall incident and slowly relate it to the other three personal falls experience in broke off relationship with your boyfriend, other relationship and your business failure. Your content is well crafted. Smooth and easy to follow. I like your choice of picture word, which was able to help me to figure out how severe is your fall. I can imagine its impact, if not for your "soft part" to cushion the gravity of your fall and "hard part" of your jaw prevented you from spending millions of dollars' on facial surgery. With your hand gesture of pointing the soft part at the front of your body and your jaw, you have directed my focus on how these two key areas. How they reduced the impact of the fall on you. I must say that you are creative in this sense. Well done and keep up your good work.

Another point I like about your speech is the way you applied the rule of three to describe your emotion after the falls. Devastated, Despaired and Depressed. These words generate much greater gravity in term of magnitude.

To have a greater impact, perhaps you may change your title to "Fall, Stand and Move On". Follow by gesture of a fall, stand up and move on. With this, it is more memorable and easier to stick on.

Your eye contacts are good, though not balance. You had been more inclined to build eye contacts with the audiences at your right hand side. To complete and have a wider coverage, perhaps you too have eye contacts with your audiences at your left hand side especially when you raised those questions in your speech.

One last and important point is that you show your angry facial expression of anger and raised your tone to reflect your anger. Soften tones of voice when you are depressed.

Well done, TM Susan. Give HER another round of well deserved applause.

OPPORTUNITY IS MISSED BY MAJORITY

That's why you need to equip yourself with the appropriate mindset before you can identify it.
Act upon to it and make it in your great favour.

YOU NEED TO GROW WEALTH EXPONENTIALLY

YOU NEED TO GROW WEALTH EXPONENTIALLY

If you think you can, you can.

If you think you can't, you can't.

Both are equally right.

Fellow Toastmasters, Ladies & Gentlemen.

How many of you seriously desire to grow your wealth exponentially? Please raise your hand. Fantastic, everyone does.

How many of you think that you can achieve what is in your desire? Excellent, everyone does again.

Big congratulation to you. You have won half the battle. Then you should proceed to conceive before you can make it Real.

I like to share with 3 reasons why you need to grow your wealth exponentially.

REASON #1 We are living in a world WITH full of uncertainty.

Corporate,both huge and small collapsing one after the other. Financial scandals are happening at their new records height and it is no longer shameful any more. Country goes bankrupt one after the other is become norm.

You can't leave it to chance. You need to take control of your destiny. You are the captain of your body and mind. You have everything to grow your wealth exponentially regardless of your current status, background and financial status.

You do it for yourself and the people you love. Growing your wealth exponentially is to have better security. Who agrees with this statement?

To cite you an example, I have been growing my wealth since I was 14. Now, I have been reaping my other sources of leveraged income ranging from interest, dividend, rental, advertisement and investment incomes.

My next level is to build my royalty income through publication and training workshop.

I believe you too want to take control over your time and life. You too want money to work for you.

REASON #2 Globally High inflation regime

With the current high inflation regime, the inflation will eat into your wealth if you don't grow it higher than the real inflation rate. 

You need to safely and steadily build up money so as to give you financial security in retirement. You will have enough money to pay for holidays..and any unexpected health scares as you get older. In short, you will be able to enjoy your golden years without any financial worries.

REASON #3 Money is not evil.

Money is not evil. It is greed of money that is evil. Once you have more Money, you will have More Freedom and More Time to spend with your love ones. By then, you are able to live your life that you choose and not playing by someone else's rule.

You are designed to get the best for yourself. Don't think that it is impossible. Rephrase it as I'm possible. You really can!!

The wealthier you are, the greater magnitude of people you can help. Then uou can give your money and your time in support of those good causes, like donating to charity organisations. The primary beneficiary of such noble actions is always the one who gives, not the one who receives. ~ Napoleon Hill.

Why I say everyone can.

a) It is not difficult. 

You don't need to be a sky rocket Scientist. But, a simple mathematics and common sense are needed to do well financially.

Wealth is within your grasp. Everyone has the capacity of achieving because it is inside you.

What you need to do is constantly apply Knowledge Doing Gap strategies. I have been applying it to stay above poverty and also during my professional days as Financial Controller to turnaround a company during Asean Financial Crisis in 1997. My other colleagues have been working closely and drastically to bring in cash flow and cutting down our costs so as to keep the company floating

b) Start with a dream.

A daytime dream that keeps you awake and not the dream you made during your sleep. Without a dream it will definite guarantee failure. Having it, wont guarantee that you will succeed, but at least there is a chance for you to succeed.

Get ready and be prepared, then apply it with action and tangible tools to make it real. You can create what you conceive in your mind. Napolean Hill.

c) Follow by action

A vision and goal without action is a wish. By doing, you will make it REAL.

Sometimes you gain, sometimes you learn. 

With the right guidance and proven recipe FOR WEALTH, you too can rise from struggle to success.

There is an exact science behind success, But there are most certainly no secrets when it comes to creating wealth or whatever other desires you may inspire to create for yourself.

d) Legacy

Wealth is Nothing More Than An Individual Choice just as failure is a choice. It is derived and made possible as the result of a choice.  

The question is whether you have the desire to claim your success, which I believe all of you have.

Never let your "Unconscious Choices" limit your "Consciously Desired" Results.

Pretty cool don't you think?

The answer will become more than apparent as THE STORY reaches its conclusion.

You are convinced to sign up with our workshop, "From Organic to Exponential Wealth" workshop. 

AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT. You are the sculptor of your external reality.

Wealth is well within your grasp and easily attainable if you will only find that "inner place" and make the choice to "allow" it to be so.

You have already taken a MAJOR step by listening to this preview. Now, why not you choose the next step and leave behind a good legacy.

One more thing. Prepare to get empowered.

Back to you, TEM.

WISDOM FROM MAHATMA GANDHI

LIVE LIKE CANDLE

THE WHOLE WORLD IS MINE

The World is Mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman  And wished I were as beautiful.  When suddenly she rose to leave,  I saw her hobble down the aisle.  She had one leg and wore a crutch.  But as she passed, she passed a smile.  Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  I have two legs; the world is mine.  I stopped to buy some candy.  The lad who sold it had such charm.  I talked with him, he seemed so glad.  If I were late, it'd do no harm.  And as I left, he said to me,  "I thank you,  you've been so kind.  It's nice to talk with folks like you.  You see," he said, "I'm blind."  Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  I have two eyes; the world is mine.  Later while walking down the street,  I saw a child I knew.  He stood and watched the others play,  but he did not know what to do.  I stopped a moment and then I said,  "Why don't you join them dear?"  He looked ahead without a word.  I forgot, he couldn't hear.  Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  I have two ears; the world is mine.  With feet to take me where I'd go..  With eyes to see the sunset's glow.  With ears to hear what I'd know.  Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine. This is just a simple reminder, we have so much to be thankful for!

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

Look we live in the real world and the forecast, is partly scary. with a chance of rejection.

I know it's popular to say you should have self-esteem and self-confidence — and brightly go forth in the world.

However, I am telling you is that it is OK to be afraid. Perhaps it is OK — a little fear is probably good for you!

The simple reason is FEAR leads to over-preparation. When you over-prepare, ACTUAL failure becomes a much more remote possibility.

In fact, having fear, and then, proceeding in spite of it, is where REAL confidence comes from. It's the accumulation of experiences in your life in which you overcome your fear and try something — even if you really do fail at it! — that leads to authentic self-esteem.

TO FISH NOT TO FISH (SPEECH AT AFC TM)

I have encountered some difficulties to unload the video.

Please just bear with me and I trying assistance and hope I will fix the issue soon.

TWO WAYS TO BE FOOLED

ACCEPTING THE TRUTH IS THE ONLY WAY TO SET YOU FREE.

DON'T QUIT

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE IS NO FAILURE PER SE.
BECAUSE IT SUGGESTS THAT THIS IS NOT THE WAY OF DOING IT RIGHT AT THAT TIME.

SO WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW IS TO CHANGE THE APPROACH,
YOU CAN'T EXPECT THE SAME APPROACH PRODUCES DIFFERENT RESULT.

BY CONSTANTLY CHANGING THE APPROACH,
YOU WILL SUCEED ONE DAY.

SO KEEP ON CHANGING
THIS IS THE SURE WAY OF ATTAINING YOUR SUCCESS

BY GIVING UP
IT IS SURELY GIVE YOU THE FAILURE.

LIFE IS LIKE PLAYING CHESS
