T Harv Eker’s MMI in KL

May 25, 2008 | 11 Comments

T Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive finally concluded today. In this 3 days, it was heart warming to get calls and sms from relatives, friends and readers who had attended the MMI saying how much they enjoyed the course.

It felt good that we can help our relatives, friends and readers to grow their mindset and free them from their past experiences and knowledge that are holding them back from their true potential.

We were quite disappointed that we couldn’t help some readers to buy last minute tickets to the event. But lets take it positively as a good lesson that when opportunities arise, we must quickly evaluate it and take IMMEDIATE ACTION.

Most of the time we procrastinate and fear hold us back from exploring opportunities. Then we miss the boat and curse that we are not lucky or we don’t get good breaks. Well, the reason why we don’t get a good break or opportunity or get lucky because we didn’t take immediate action on opportunities!

T Harv Eker is holding one last MMI this year in Singapore. Those who missed out this event can go to the last one for this year in Singapore. We’ll be putting up a link for people who would like to sign up for the event in Singapore soon. Again…please book early because the seats can be sold out. Once the link for booking is up, we’ll post it here. So please check this blog often for details or subscribe to our free newsletter subscription and notifications on updates on our posts.

How To Deal With Failure

May 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Written By Tan Hai Liang

We all have plans to get rich. If you don’t have a plan, you can be sure that you won’t get rich. A plan is like a road map. How can you reach your destination without a map?

More often than not, we fail in what we do while trying to achieve success. How do you deal with your failure? Do you see it as a sign for you to stop your plan of getting rich? Resign yourself that it is impossible to be successful?

NO!

Failure is just a way of telling you that you are not doing it right. It is proof that there is something wrong with your plan. Your methodology need to be changed. So change the way you are doing things and continue with your aim to success. There are many ways to get rich, however, each route need to be discovered. It is like treasure in the middle of a jungle, and you are clearing the path to it. There are many others who had found treasure and had given you the treasure map. But why can’t you reach the destination the same way as your forefathers?

There are a lot of reasons why you cannot use the same road even though you got the same treasure map. You may be reading the map incorrectly. The path is slightly obscure by undergrowth or some trees may have felled and blocking your path. Do you use the compass and carve your own path to make a detour over the small obstacles? Or give up the rich treasure?

Thomas Edison had failed 10,000 times before he successfully develop the light bulb that we all use now. Had he given up on this 9000th bulb, we’ll still be in dark ages. He went ahead and keep trying until he succeed at it. When he was interviewed, he said that he didn’t fail 10,000 times but he found out 10,000 ways of not making the bulb.

Your defeat is not permanent. Your defeat is only temporary. It is just feedback that something is wrong with your plan. So just change your plans and persevere with it. Make a detour and move on with your treasure map.

Important Questions In Life (Part 4 - Final)

I ended my last post with this point that when we care, we have to care sensibly so that we are not being taken advantage of when doing so. Here is the story that I would like to share to illustrate this point.

In the woods there lived a fierce, vicious and mean lion. Everyone was afraid of this lion because he liked to bite other animals and human. As the lion grew older, he started wondering what happens to lions when they die. He heard of a holy lion who lived on top of a hill nearby who is very wise. So he decided to go ask the holy lion. When he arrived at the holy lion’s cave, the holy lion was conducting a sermon. He quietly hid in a corner to listen. The more he listened, the more he was convinced that he had been a bad lion and decided to turn over a new leaf. At the end of the sermon, he went up to the holy lion and vowed not to bite or hurt anyone again. He wanted to be good, kind and caring.

After he became a good lion, he told everyone about it but the other animals and humans were still afraid of him. One day, while the lion was taking a nice nap behind a rock, a villager accidentally stepped on his tail when walking past. The lion had a shock awakening. However, he just smiled at the villager kindly without even getting angry. From that day on, everyone believed him and was no longer afraid of him.

On day, some nasty children came to tease him. They started calling him bad names but the lion just sat there calmly even though he didn’t like it. The children became braver since the lion was passive. They started to throw stones at him. He was upset but didn’t fight back because he had vowed not to hurt anyone again. So the children went nearer and then started beating him with sticks. He took all the beating and thought that religion was crap. In the real world you had to be nasty to protect yourself. So that evening, he went up to see the holy lion and wanted to renounce his vow.

The holy lion was shocked to see the poor injured lion and asked what happened. So he told the holy lion everything and blamed the holy lion for all the impractical teachings he had given. The holy lion then said to him, “You stupid lion! Yes I told you not to bite or hurt people but I didn’t tell you not to roar, did I?”

So, sometimes in order to be kind and to care, we have to “roar”, but just don’t “bite”! :-)

Anyone Can Cook?

May 7, 2008 | 1 Comment

“Anyone can cook!”

That’s the tagline for the Disney animated film, Ratatouille.  We never expected that a simple animated film could deliver such strong and inspirational messages.  Here are a few of the amazing quotes from the film….

“Change is nature. The part we can influence. And it starts when we decide.”

“Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great.”

“If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.”

“the only thing predictable about life is its unpredictability”

If you’ve not watched the film, you must watch it.  It’s not so much about cooking but it’s also about life….. It’s about making the impossible become possible.  It’s about determination, confidence, pride, teamwork, principles, dignity, relationships and love…  There’s much to learn from…. Cooking.

So we decided to have a “Cooking” section here.  We want to share with you that cooking can be simple, fun and fuss-free.  If you always have problems cooking for two or you have a small kitchen, check out the video we’ve made below.  Witness how a meal is cooked just using a small portable gas stove, a small frying pan and a small pot.

Our meal for the week is “Pasta in 20 minutes”.

Recipe:
Any type of pasta (to be cooked in boiling water for 9 minutes or follow the instructions on the pack)
Pasta sauce
Capsicums
Asparagus (to be boiled)
Tomatoes
Fresh mushrooms
Prawns (marinated with salt & pepper)
Bacon (can be pan fried or toasted in oven.  If you have an oven toaster, just wrap the bacon over capsicum, asparagus and tomatoes and put in the toaster for 10 min – of course, wrap it with aluminium foil)
Slice of cheese
Olive oil

Watch the video for the steps.  Bon Appetit! 

Stay tuned for our next cooking session!
