GUEST POST FROM FLORA G ALEANA - WHAT ARE THE CHIEF THEMES OF THE BOOK "BETTER THAN THE BEST" BY JAMES OH

What are the chief themes of the book “Better than the Best” by James OH?

Better Than The Best is a must-read and is definitely a best seller. It has given tips to help readers to know more about themselves. It also prepares them to take up the challenges in life which crop up anytime because of the rapid changes in the environment and technology. It is a detailed personal account and a series of anecdotes which the author shares with us, the readers. The instances are nothing but his experiences and hind sights on how he came up in his life. The book obviously helps us in sharpening our minds and in boosting our confidence towards living a life of our choice. We should live our life to the fullest. In the process of living it we access several ideas, illustrations and insights. This book must be read by all those who want to live a life without any regret. 

James Oh is an author, speaker and accountant. His broad experiences and multifaceted talents together with his passion, enthusiasm and commitment make him a great difference maker. His expertise is in making people see the invisible, do the impossible and in helping people see new opportunities in life without losing sight of the details. Seeing things in a new, fresh light is very conducive to creativity. The author adopts a very practical approach and provides real life examples which readers understand easily and they are able to relate to it.

Many a times we do not realize that we are capable of doing many more things than what we actually do. We tend to go into a slumber thinking that we lack the potential to work. It is actually a grave mistake and an injustice we are doing to our own selves. Human life is a wonderful mixture of ups and downs, the good and the bad. Who decides what is good or bad? What actually is good and what is bad? These are all relative concepts we construct for our convenience. We tag something good and some others as bad. When our mind is free of all assumptions and preconceived notions we will see things in an unbiased way. For free and effective thinking some of us may need some training. Some people have very weak minds which do not stand a small misdeed or slight difficulty in life. Difficulties in life do not come to destroy us, but they teach us to stand up straight and to face whatever comes our way.

Life is often compared to a journey. We cannot jump over troubles, but we must take a baby step initially. We know that Rome was not built in a day. There is tremendous amount of effort which has gone into building such a beautiful city. Great thinkers, scientists and Nobel laureates did not become successful overnight. We should understand that there are years of hard work, many attempts which did not yield positive results, but the point to take home is their perseverance and the strong bent of mind to keep trying till they succeed. 

We often search in the outside world for some help which would help us in developing our personality. In essence, we need to look at our inner self and find out what is our strength which we may have kept unused for long. Dig deep within and find the real zeal within us which, if used to the optimum level, will take us to great heights in life. Life is never static, but it undergoes continuous changes. We must adopt ourselves to the changing times and accept that change is necessary. Therefore, we should know ourselves, love ourselves and take ourselves to be a great resource.

We should have faith in our positive qualities, strengths and merits. Never let negative thoughts creep into your mind if you are one weak-minded person. Believe in yourself, do what you love to do without bothering about what others will say. Your life is your choice. You decide how you want to live it and live it the best possible way. James Oh gives a series of great tips in the form of a book which should be widely read and followed in our daily life.

I AM AWESOME

Dear Friends, followers and fans,

Please repeat after me. "I am awesome." "I am awesome." "I am really awesome!" Let it sink into your mind and heart. Are you feel better now? You should be. Repeat this process until you are truly gaining it. Do yourself a great favor to show that you truly love yourself.  

Yes, you are! I can affirm it. You should be gaining the momentum of feeling great. Good is not good enough. Moreover good is the enemy of great. Don't wait for anyone else to tell you this. This is because you need to claim it and it is a gift from the above. 

You do not have to wait or live for others to validate you. It will never end. You ought to know it inside out! Awesomeness is not about your 'outside job', but rather is an 'inside job'. Once you are feeling great, your awesomeness will be contagious and it has snowballs effect effect. It will eventually turn everything around you beautifully.

So go ahead and radiate your awesomeness daily first thing in the morning and keep doing it daily.

Start looking at yourself in the mirror closely and say it loudly. "I AM AWESOME!!"

Repeat it as often as necessary, even if you have to sneak out to the restroom during the middle of the day to remind yourself to do it. Others may try to suck out your awesomeness. So retain it for yourself and spread it out so that you too can make the world a better place to live.

THE MESSAGE IS TO INFORM, INSPIRE AND IMPACT YOU TOO

Dear Friends, Followers and Fans,

For those who have followed me long enough may notice I have sustain-ably been transformed especially in the past 6 months. My life has seen a real change, obviously and from the feedback I obtained. My personality, my life, my living standard, my beliefs and my faiths; all have changed for better towards progress and development. Of course, I am extremely happy with this positive development.

I am living my exceptionally optimistic life and attracting many positive outcomes meanwhile extending my helping hand to others as a giver. In fact, giving is receiving. As I give more and I receive more.

Change has come in effect to my life and turned it from the darkness, depression and despair into brightness, enlightenment and hope. Naturally, I would love to give the "Change" to others who are desperately looking for being different from whom they are now!

So, the best time is start now. It's the best time to kick start this project. Hope my notes and words could inspire and bring hope to you too!

Cheers and thanks for reading this mail,

A SNAPSHOT OF MY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS HISTORY

Dear Family, Friends, Followers and Fans,

"The pain you feel today is the strength you will feel tomorrow. For every challenge encountered there is opportunity for growth." Unknown.

I am living proof that "I Got Better." Here is my story.

I came into the world on Feb 25, 1961. John F. Kennedy was the President (One of the great president) of the United States. Most of my relatives at that time did not expect me to survive long as I was born under-weight (about 2.5 kilogram) .I was physically weak and always felt sick. With God’s blessings; one of my primary school’s teachers, Mr Ho spotted my gifted talents and he coached me to become my school’s chess captain. During that period, I was very actively playing chess games day and night.

I was then directed and diverted, by the above, to discover that I can rely on my mental strength to overcome my physical strength. Since then, I began growing my mental strength to a certain extent to achieve many breakthrough results that I thought not possible initially. I then fell in love with motivational books during my early secondary school periods. The books assisted me to overcome those obstacles I was facing along my journey to achieve my next target. Blessings upon blessings were showered on me. Finally, I had achieved all what I want in life before I turned 40. However, another huge blow, with much greater gravity than before put me in great depression. That turn directed me to tap into new source of proven, powerful and practical spiritual know-how to be transformed to a much greater height of success with ease.

I was then transformed from a literally dying to a lively person. I unlearned what I had learned and relearned about spiritual power. By gradually surrendering everything I had to the above wholeheartedly and letting my inner voice guide and lead me to do what is impossible to me at that time.

After quitting my job as the Financial Controller in Singapore and returning back to my home country to kick start what is the missing link in my life. From the bold, but initially viewed as an irresponsible decision, it subsequently turn out to be another huge blessing.

Before I reached my golden age of fifty, I had interviewed more than a dozen of authors from all over the globe and reviewed more than twenty Ebooks from the international authors.

At my early fifties, I have managed to self-publish 6 Ebooks at the time of writing and developed 6 training programs under my belt. I also made myself visible everywhere; on line, magazines, radio and speaking assignments at several professional institutes. My blogs, books and business suddenly went upwards in leap and bounds due to the support from those kind people, friends, followers and fans.

The overwhelming support I received in fact accelerated my energy, enthusiasm and excitement to achieve more despite my age. I then discover the irony of my life that I have not only improved my productivity but also my health and happiness. All these came effortlessly due to the support from the universe.

My first published book, “Better Than The Best” tells of a true story of how I chose to be better than the Titanic; a man made disaster. I finally see that my vision and mission will come true.  Now, it is very clear to me that I have to be steadfast to the finishing line and will finish well and strong.  The trials and tribulations I experienced are molding me to be strong, sweet and superb.

Writing “Better Than The Best”  allowed me to become very introspective, and it made me realize that I must find my purpose filled life before I could help others in similar loss situations.

Today, I still reside in my home country in Malaysia, where I am working on my next book project, Letting Go and Moving On.

I would be honored if you share this to help people gain some context of great things that lies ahead for them even if today seems bleak and hopeless. If you remain true to yourself, it really can and will get better.

"FATHER'S DAY"- MY MEMORABLE GIFT

Dear Families, Friends, Followers and Fans,

Very happy day to all of you.

Trust you are all keeping well. I am so excited to share great news with you all. It begun when I planned to attend my current mentor’s workshop last Sunday, June 15, 2014 at 10^th Malaysia Festival of the Mind Festival.

Thereafter, I just joined another friend of mine to attend another workshop by Mr. S. Jeyaraman on “Your Memory – From Good to Great.”  Recommended by my old friend and I just joined in. This fabulous trainer is really amazingly great.

He walked us through a very entertaining, exciting and engaging session throughout his given one hour workshop. He has a fabulous system to memorize everything and anything with ease. No wonder his lively session attracted a big crowd.

Even my former trainer, a world class trainer cum coach, who had personally trained me more than a decade ago, was also present in his class. Guess who? Seriously do you want to know who he is? He is none other than Dato” Lawrence Chan. I attended his three days camp in one of his star product, Personal Leadership program. It really changed my life and am eternally grateful to Dato Lawrence .Dato also introduced to us his trainee, a Mr. Sam.

My friend and I then rushed and managed to be just in time for Mr.Jeyaraman’s second session. Both of us curiously wanted to know the secret behind the success of his first session. You see how he made us so excited and wanted more from him.

After it begun a while, I saw Dato came in alone. Dato is truly a wise great gentleman who well deserved my respect.  This well reflects Dato’s excellent attitude. I was so proud to attend the same workshop with Dato. He looked so fit, healthy and  energetic. I strongly believe this is the privilege and benefit of being a motivational trainer.

Append below are the photos and the attendance certificate. Hope I can reconnect back to those who are in the same batch with me in 19 94  ( SEMINAR NO 488).

2014 is going to be another great year for me and two words, Thank You, is not enough to tell my family, friends, followers and fans for their support, kindness and always be my angel daily.

Cheers and stay tuned for more exciting update,

James Oh

CHESS KING TO PURPOSE FILLED LIFE

CHAPTER 1 LIVE LIFE LIKE YOU WILL NEVER REGRET

People always think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value. The truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are special too. Unknowingly, this sound, solid and valid principle has governed my life all this while.

How many of you have regretted that you have not done anything you think you ought to do? If you have, then I like to congratulate you for taking the effort to buy this book. Keep reading and apply whatever you feel comfortable and I can assure you that you will not regret it.

Despite my several temporary setbacks since I was born till date, I never gave in nor gave up. I managed to get through though it seems that there is no way out. You may at a later chapter learn how I rise from these temporary setbacks. I must attribute my achievements through help from those kind souls and people I came across. These temporary setbacks are merely to mold and shape me to the way I wanted. This is because I am a firm believer of I am the creator of my own destiny and everyone has a seed of greatness inside us.

Permit me to brief you a little about my background. I am a product of a migrant from Main Land China and a local lady in Malaysia. My late father had traveled across an ocean from China to marry my mother. Both are illiterate and we were given lots of freedom. Luckily, 5 out of my 7 siblings are university graduates, which made both our parents very proud.

I was born underweight but there is a good reason for it, which you may find out from this book.  I began to start work at a very young age, but this did not deprive me from receiving an Education to break off from the poverty chain. Since then I strive to follow the foot- steps of those great successful people and wanted to leave my foot-prints in others’ hearts so as to repay what they had done for me even though they had never expected anything from me.

I have chosen to live my life like playing a winning chess game many decades ago. I always do my utmost best so that I can be a great contributor to the society which I had benefited from. I managed to maintain my attitude as I began to read lots of motivational book since young, My favorite authors, namely Confucius, Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Dickens taught me to fight all odds to achieve success.

With this positive and profound attitude, it helps me to see things from the positive side of everything no matter what. This attribute made me able to dance in the rains while waiting for the rainbow. That’s easy as it sound. From there, I also learned that tough times never last, but tough people do. Gaining strength from strength to the next level of success is the surest way so long you keep doing it with inner desire. Now, hope you can see it as inside out process. First with the mindset, follow by knowing-doing gap strategy before using tangible tools to make it real. Keep reading if you do not know exactly what I mean and say.

Always remember: - if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends.

If an egg is broken by inside force, then life begins. Great things happen from the inside.

One thing I also learn is to never despair nor give up.  Keep encouraging yourself immensely no matters what so that it will eventually spark your desire to pursue your dream further. Grow your spirit rather then cut your dreams. Live the life you are capable and do not compromise it. This is because you only have a chance; you either do it Now or Never.

Determination, will power and staying focus on the goals will help you to overcome whatsoever challenge that comes along your life. Just believe it and do it. Have faith and never let your sight let you down. This proven success recipe has provided lots of fruits for me. Keep reading till you are convicted and convinced wholeheartedly.

These positive habits and attitudes will empower you to obtain what you desire in your heart. Keep listening to your inner voice and let it navigate you through the direction of your destiny. Keep practicing. Deliberate Practice does not make you Perfect but Deliberate Practice makes Permanent Progress.

Would you agree that your beliefs determine your actions?

Keep learning, unlearning what you have learned and relearn what is new to you. Get used to it and you will be rest assured to grow with it.

In 2008, I simply quit my overseas job shortly after I obtained my Permanent Residence. What at the time appeared as a bold and irresponsible decision, would soon open doors that would enable me to discover the "Missing Link" in my own life. 

That freed me to enter into one of the most creative and bold periods of my life. Guess what? I WAS venturing into blogging on wealth and health at my late 40s with the intention to bring humanity to the next level of success, becoming a great successful man so that I can leave my foot print in many hearts and souls so as to glorify my Savior. At the time of writing, my blogs have spread its wing to more than 170 countries. Bear in mind, it has and is gaining momentum.

With this blessing, I then discovered my larger purpose of helping people to live life in more fulfilling roles and discovered my hidden potential. 3 Ebooks, namely Better Than The Best, Letting Go and Moving On & Growing Your Wealth Exponentially have been published so far so as to enhance its impact.  Needless to say without your support, my purpose filled life would not have materialized.

From my turbulent life history, I learnt that we dictate our path. Nothing can stop us from achieving our goal so long as we don't give in and give up. We just need to be accountable, decisive, committed; audacious and stay focus as we stride along our life journey.

NOW, I like to sum up the following quotation in the end of the very first chapter of this book:-

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow strength into your being,

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life.

Apache Blessing.

WORK-RELATED STRESS - IMPACT ON PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT

Topic: Work-Related Stress - Impact on Physical and Psychological Health and how to deal        

              With it

Introduction:

Work-related stress is indeed a common phenomenon in 21^st Century human living. What is uncommon is how stress factors impact human lives, our bodies and our psyches, how we react to work- related stress and whether these interventions help control and manage stress inducing situations in the work place or only serve to exacerbate them, taking them to such an extent that induces major phsuyical health illnesses or a complete mental breakdown requiring hospital admission and necessary medical treatment courses.

Indeed in this article, it is necessary to first consider the impact of work-related stress on physical health and well being, secondly, on psychological health and finally, and third and most importantly, how we could deal with such kinds of stress and overcome it for our own mental and physical health betterment, goodness and well being

How work-related stress impacts on physical health of people:

Stress in the work place can be caused due to number of factors, like deadlines, work pressures, overdose of official commitments, having to work under pressure or work which one dislikes and also increased anxieties and strain on human body system. While the causes of stress may be localized due to demands of the job, its impacts could be mild or serious, depending upon the nature, levels, intensity and duration of stress. Stress could also be short term or even long term, often given rise to number of physical ailments like hypertension, diabetes, stomach ulcers, migraines and headaches and could even support major ailments like heart disease, paralytic strokes and in extreme cases, even leading to cancers.

What is particularly disturbing about work related stress is that this promotes bad habits like uncontrolled use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs and unsafe sex.  Impacts of stress could give rise to major health risks arising from increased sugars, salts, alcohol, non prescribed drugs and tobacco in one’s system and could indeed be dangerous and fatal if not immediate corrected and medically resolved, since stress could also be primary causes of heart attacks and cerebral/body strokes.

How work-related stress impacts on psychological health of people:

Research have attributed major mental illnesses as a result of work related stress and the most important one is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD), once an domain of war veterans and soldiers but now even affecting civilians. The main characteristic of this disorder or condition is that victims are still in the state of stress-response even when the stress causes are not there. Other impacts of work related stress are depression, anxiety neurosis, nervous breakdowns, insomnia, withdrawal symptoms and social apathy. Since the minds are the precursors of bodily events and disorders, adverse impacts of stress can affect both body and mind in many idiosyncratic and unknown ways. Interconnectivity between body and mind could also cause bodily afflictions to affect mind. Patients have been known to have imaginary and medically challenging, disconcerting pains, aches and other malaise when none really exist- all impacts of fight-or –flee strategies developed by human minds to cope with stress and its after effects.

How to deal effectively with work related stress and overcome it:

Strategy Number #1: Identify the specific cause of the stress and eliminate it:

It is important to know the real and not indirect sources and origins of the stress and remedy it as

soon as possible, before it could do further physical and mental harm.

Strategy Number #2: Seek professional help from a counselor, psychologist and /or psychiatrist:

They could offer therapy, medication and advice on how to best deal with work related stress. It

would also make coping less stressful and even address main issues that create and promote

stress in the workplace. Stress is indeed a person’s reactions to environment and human

overtures and therapy could make this less stressful and more relaxing

Strategy Number#3: If dependent on alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other stimulants abandon them:

All these could only exacerbate and aggravate current situation and needs to be abandoned

forthwith. Some kinds of work stresses could be remedied by these forfeitures.

Strategy Number #4: Practice relaxation techniques like Yoga, deep breathing, meditation,

T’ai chi, etc. It relaxes body, mind and spirit and makes you more receptive to positive

environmental stimulants, while purging away toxins of the body and mind.

Strategy Number # 5: Physical exercises do induce positive and soothing brain chemicals that act

on nerves and body. This could relieve some of the stress causing thoughts and relax body and

mind

Final word:

It is important that work related stress is given the degree of seriousness, weightage and importance it richly deserves. Ignoring stress symptoms and signs could indeed prove imprudent and ill advised, since stress is capable of causing more damage and detriment to body and mind that could ever be imagined by humans. It needs to be addressed before it turns uncontrollable and unmanageable through medical interventions and therapies.

ATHENA'S INSPIRING NOTE ON HAPPINESS

This is just a snippet of the note that Athena left behind her mirror. Her words are full of hope, love and wisdom. It’s difficult not to tear up when you see some of her final thoughts:

Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Maybe it’s not about the happy ending, maybe it’s about the story.
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. Happiness is a direction not a destination.
Thank you for existing. Be happy, be free, believe, forever young.
You know my name, not my story.
You have heard what I’ve done, but not what I’ve been through.
Love is like glass, looks so lovely, but it’s easy to shatter.
Love is rare, life is strange, nothing lasts and people change.
Every day is special, so make the most of it. You could get a life-ending illness tomorrow so make the most of every day.
Life is only bad if you make it bad.
If someone loves you then they wouldn’t let you slip away no matter how hard the situation is.
Remember that life is full of ups and downs, without the downs the ups don’t mean anything.
I’m waiting to fall in love with someone I can open my heart to.
Love is not about who you can see spending your future with it’s about who you can’t see spending your life without.
Life is a game for everyone but love is the only prize.

These are the kinds of perspectives that most people struggle to have and maintain, yet this sick girl fully committed to them. Share Athena’s incredible outlook on life; she had an amazing spirit, even in her final days. Click the Share button below to show others her secret message.
