A Prestige

It celebrates diversity. It is a pool of remarkable resources. It is simply world class.

I am a proud bearer of this experience.

A Mental Race

It is that time of the year again where I wished I had allocated my time more efficiently and that time could have just slowed down by a significant lot. It has always been etched in my mind, the quote of, 'Procrastination is the thief of time'. However, it never seems to bring about positive effect in myself.

What do you do when your brains are overloaded with information and the time is racing against you?

What do you do when you are physically drained but still mentally strong, as there is only so much exhaustion your body can withstand?

There are only two clear options available right now given the constraints. One is to give up and pray for luck to take on the paper with only that much of information I can remember or to run the remaining race with determination and optimism to avoid disappointing myself and my loved ones.

It is best that I opt for the latter.

The Economy: A Blessing in Disguise

I have learned about a possible channel for investment this time around which has proved to be quite lucrative. Foreign Exchange will be my main objective in the next few years. I am not referring to FOREX where anyone and everyone with a dollar and Internet can trade. It sounds simple enough but involves tremendous risk. Most people's perception about this trade is that it is like gambling. I can assure you and 100% guarantee you that it is not like gambling. According to statistics, 98% of Forex investors loses money while the remaining 2% posesses everything the 98% losses out on. The 2% who profits KNOW what to do, because they ALWAYS use proper software that makes the decisions. Only machine is able to gather and analyze all the data from the the market and help you make the right decision. These platforms do not know what fear or greed means, and they never act according to intuition. They obtain the results by means of calculation, and this makes them the best advisers. That’s why 98% of ordinary people lose their money to 2% of wise investors.

That being said, I have found a reliable firm which serves as a channel to managing, monitoring and advising to those who are interested in this trade. They know what they are doing. Risk management which is essential is definitely incorporated in their business and therefore it is not like gambling or investing yourself where you fly blind. Risk management, close monitoring and making the right recision at the right moment is what it is all about. Fluctuations in the currencies is not a problem, in fact there is an opportunity in every corner. Even as the value drops, these professionals who have anticipated it would be able to help you gain a profit. Currently they have a headquarter in Malaysia and if you wish to know more, drop me a line!

You must think I am crazy to be talking about investment in this economic downtrend.

Yes, most succesful investors would agree that this is actually the time for investment. Take the risk and imagine your success when the economy is on its feet again and booming. That will be the time when you have made your biggest possible gain.

p/s: This is not a scam. The firm I referred to, Hupro Ltd, in the web link above, is an internationally recognized firm.

'Loving people means giving them the freedom to be who they choose to be and where they choose to be. To have something or someone, you let go.'

Yes I agree. Desperation can sometimes be a factor of discouragement.


'When someone sees the same people everyday, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.'

The last sentence in the phrase above sends out a great message, especially to gossipers and fish-mongers, and 'dictators'. In general, those who bitches.


'Making a decision is only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.'

And that someone is bound to be yet at another crossroad where he or she needs to make a decision again, and yet another, and yet another...We all need to take charge (make a decision or a stand) of our own lives and not going with the flow, although sometimes going with the flow can be beneficial like in the scenario described in the next phrase. Do not get me wrong when I say go with the flow with the I-do-not-care attitude, but rather I meant, to be attentive to opportunities that come your way.


'I always appear in one form or another. Sometimes I appear in the form of solution or a good idea. At other times, at a crucial moment, I make it easier for things to happen. There are other things I do too, but most of the time people don't realize I've done them.'

The Mighty One, to those who believe in Him. If you ask to be a more patient person, He does not give you patience but rather give you the opportunity to be patient. His force is at work and most of the time people do not see it and sometimes even blame Him for not granting prayers.


'I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm only interested in the present. If you can concentrate on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in your surroundings. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now.'

Do not be mislead with the second sentence. Today, having visions and strategies for the future is a great tool to work towards what you want in the future. Just keep in mind to not look so far ahead and forget that you are breathing the very air this very second. If you stop and observe for a moment, you will realize you are living. Appreciate it. Live in the moment.

Surreality

Suddenly the trees stood greener, the hills and valleys stood mightier,

The roads slithered on the ground as if they had a mind of their own,

The bricks and mortars gave a brittle impression, unlike the usual strength,

They appeared as though they were pieced together, very much like Lego,

Living and non-living creatures, they all sprung up to life,

Not static, not merely just atoms and whatnots,

As though they jolted from a picture and became real, so alive

Their existence stood clearer to signifiy a purpose, a reason.
