The ECB now has to either become the
lender of last resort that Europe so des-perately needs (and trample over Ger-many’s sensitivities in the process), or the
Euro must fall. There is no other choice.

ANALYST COMMENTS: [ ALL BEARISH ]
Debt mountains and austerity policies will send EU into a recession,

especially if slow Euro-zone growth, pessimism and risk aversion continue to weigh on the single currency.

More signs of recovery in the US, along with Europe one step closer to recession, will keep the downward pressure intact in the pair. Next Friday, US NFP will set the trend: a positive number may trigger short term risk appetite favoring the EUR. In the long run however, will set the bases for more dollar gains.

After indirect QE didn't calm the bond markets, the euro eventually fell. The ECB will be pushed to launch QE. In any case, it's a lose lose situation for the euro - a recession in the euro zone and growing debt all point to one direction: lower.

FULL STORY OF EURO 2011

FOREX WEEK AHEAD: Focus On French Bond Auctions ...If the auctions result in higher-than-expected yields or less debt sold than expected, it will indicate investors are wary of buying debt even from core European countries - YIELD HIGHER TO PUSH DEMAND HIGHER BECAUSE DEMAND IS LOW! SENDING THE EURO DOWN. IF YIELD IS LOW THAT MEANS BONDS ARE DOING GOOD, AND PEOPLE ARE CONFIDENT, EURO GOES UP.

Trail

The public ought always to keep in mind the elementals of stock trading. When a stock is going up no elaborate explanation is needed as to why it is going up. It takes continuous buying to make a stock keep going up. As long as it does so, with only small and natural reactions from time to time, it is a pretty safe proposition to trail with it.

Line of Least Resistance

But if after a long steady rise a stock turns and gradually begins to go down, with only occasionally small rallies, it is obvious that the line of least resistance has changed from upward to downward. Such being the case why should anyone ask for explanations? There are probably very good reasons why it should go down…

Unexpected

Among the hazards of speculation the happening of the unexpected – I might even say of the unexpectable – ranks high.

True

The game does not change and neither does human nature.

“Successful trading is always
an emotional battle for the speculator, not an intelligent battle.”

“…it’s an aptitude for the game, a stomach for the ride, and the ability to see what
is happening without emotion.

As i develop my intuition and method, the crowds comment seem to me as a distraction, confession nor confusion rather than a conclusion. They just seem to keep turning round & round. going no where, people, especially human, needs somewhere to go to. When they cant win at a game, or understand a subject matter, they turn themselve onto others, and hope for acknowledgement. Where else in this game, the only one who cares about your money is you. And all out there whether distraction,confession nor confusion, is to serve their self-interest , rather than helping you win. Losers tell losers what to do and its a cycle. The only thing that won, is their ego, over them.

& if im right today, i might not be right again tomorrow. Therefore i can only be half the time Right and not right 100% of the time.

Tin Can Collector Died a millionaire

2010-04-02T14:55:00.001+08:00

By Robert Frank

To the outside world, Curt Degerman was a poor can collector.

The aged Swede, known as “Tin Can Curt,” spent 30 years roaming the streets of Skelleftea in northern Sweden in his blue jacket and ragged pants, collecting tin cans and bottle for cash. He was, in the eyes of most people, an ordinary street bum.

Yet when he died he left more than $1.4 million to his cousin.

How did he do it? Thrift and smart investing.

It turns out that in between collecting cans, Mr. Degerman spent a lot of time in the local library reading business papers and studying the stock market.

“He knew stocks inside and out,” said his cousin.

He used his tin-can earnings to buy mutual funds. He also bought 124 gold bars and also grew his cash with a savings account. (He rode a bicycle and didn’t have a mortgage on his house, which also made savings easier).

It is the classic fairy tale of thrift and shrewd – almost.

Mr. Degerman died of a heart attack in 2008. His will left his entire estate to a cousin who visited him regularly late in his life.

Yet soon after the fortune was revealed, an uncle claimed the cash under Sweden’s inheritance law. Lawyers got involved, and the two recently settled for undisclosed shares.

All of which goes to show that no matter how careful someone is in making and saving money in their lifetime, they can’t control what happens afterward.

Do you think Mr. Degerman should have enjoyed his money more while he was alive? Or is he the perfect model of wealth creation?

That's a really tough question to answer. I'm 51 now and when I was in my 20's I would never even have considered doing this.

In your 20's you have more energy and time, yet less maturity and humility. Also, most people don't really know what they want when they're in their 20's, which is not a bad thing at all. It's important to have a wide variety of interests, how else can you know what you want until you've looked at many things?

Intellectually, trading is not very difficult, it just isn't. However, the proper application is extremely hard and anyone interested in it should know all the reasons why. I can tell you that the key for me was developing myself as a person. It almost sounds cliche but it's true (all cliches are based on a truth). I spend more time every day working on myself than I do in trading, yet my trading is better now than ever. I didn't believe it when I first read about it, as most don't. But there are many who try trading and don't succeed and it's not because they can't pass a test on support and resistance line drawing, or how to calculate a 2.75% position size on a $10,000 account. Plain and simple, they lose because they fuck up mentally.

Let me give you some advice on other people. I was 26 when I hitchhiked through Europe for the first time, from London down to the Greek Islands in back in one summer. It was an amazing time for me and I vowed to myself to spend the rest of my life seeing the world.

Everyone in my life, except my mother, told me to get serious and settle down, get a steady job, have a family and be average just like them. This includes two ex-wives. Some how I knew when I was still in my teens that you can't depend on others to map out your life for you and that what they pass off to you as advice that is supposedly in your best interest is the farthest thing from the truth.

As I've stated before, I've met plenty of people who have believed they knew better than me what I should or should not do with my life. As a rule, most are average people who live average lives. They are all still living average lives (which in itself is just fine because it's like street sweepers, if there isn't people who voluntarily do stuff like that, then I might end up being forced to do it, so I do appreciate average people and the role they play in the world).

Now it's 25 years later and I've spent the past 20 years travelling the world. I've been to just about every great and majestic place you've ever seen on tv or in a book. I've done so many things that most people think about their whole life and keep on saying, "I'll do that when I'm retired." I spend my summers (you gotta love teaching in universities...which I specifically chose to do because of the time off...you try going through grad school with that in mind...it's easy) in 3 or more countries. I've spent 13 months in the last 10 years hanging out in Thailand simply because I love the place.

I go home on occasion and I see everyone living their average lives and they don't really want to talk about what I do, where I've been, what I've seen and done to any degree. Mainly because it reminds them that a. they were wrong about me and b. that they're living terminally average, boring lives. So I don't go home much anymore. Meanwhile, I work with over 150 westerners who are just like me in that they chose to not be average and stay put because others told them that it's the best thing for them. So I've got plenty of company, including my third wife who loves our life. And what really burns all their asses is that my wife and I both teach here and our combined salary with all benefits is over 120k per year...and we work 8 months per year.

Sorry for the long reply, but the best advice I can give anyone in their 20's is to follow any dream you have. Understand why people give you the advice they do, it's mainly to serve their interests, not yours. My mother was the only person who truly wanted me to have what I wanted. She supported me 100% in everything I did, no matter what it was. I was lucky to have had her support and her love. After 18 years, I still miss her terribly. Surround yourself with others that are also following their dreams. Don't let anyone tell you what your limitations are or should be. Don't let anyone define you in any shape or form. It doesn't matter what you do with your life, as long as it's what you want to do.

It's your life, live it accordingly.

"Invest in the process rather than the outcome, when we grow up, we forget how to focus on the process, but the outcome, eventually it'll drain all of our energy. "- Srikumar Rao:

http://www.ted.com/talks/srikumar_rao_plug_into_your_hard_wired_happiness.html

"Self esteem comes from expectation, if your expectations is too high but your actual self is not there, then you have low self esteem, it is a relationship between your own expectation and who you are, never the external factor.

you can see a clerk be really happy with his life, not because of his position but because he has fully accepted the world as it is. it is crucial to balance expectation, process and acceptance itself. to be truly happy, and yet not stopping to improve. " - Edgar Ng

Although i disagree with one thing he said, that if we focus on the "If" situation , we will not be happy ever, If we can be this and that, we can be a little bit more happier, because we achieve our goal, which in turn closing the gap between expectation level and actual level, giving more self esteem and confident that will increase acceptance.

at the end he also said that we must focus on the process, well that leads to the direction of the goal, and if we achieve that goal, we are happier. that is a fact.

There is a levels of happiness we can get from achieving things and living our life daily and focusing on the things we do. and when we finally get it that is the Aha! experience. that is the moment to cry for. . cry for happiness, & Victory.

Check her out, her songs are great, and so is she, while reading the bio and listening to her song "Take it all ft Cady groves" i melted.

http://www.purevolume.com/CadyGroves

Bio:
I remember when I realized what I wanted to do in life. I was helping my mom clean out our swimming pool when an old Frank Sinatra song came on the radio. I remember saying, "Mom, I want to write things down that I have to say, and I want to sing them real loud so everyone can hear me." I was seven at the time. Ever since that moment, making music has continued to be my goal.

Writing has always been a constant escape for me. A lot of horrible things have happened in my life, and without the ability to write my feelings down and communicate them with a melody; they essentially would have blown up inside of me, for all I know.

I graduated high school super early, and then went to culinary school when I was just 16. I was in a few casual music projects here and there, but I had a problem finding other people who wanted to make music their life, and not just a hobby. I kind of became unhinged and just started moving anywhere and everywhere I felt like--mostly in the middle of the night.

One of my random 24-hour drives to "somewhere" led me from outside Vegas all the way to deep southwestern Oklahoma. The day after arriving, I signed up for college at SWOSU. There I met Evan, my best friend and guitarist. As soon as we met, we spent hours making up a ton of songs, just for fun. We just seemed to click. Evan is ridiculously talented, and has been playing music most of his life. He is truly amazing at what he does.

Sometimes an entire song and melody will pop into my head at a gas station, or some place unexpected. I'll press the record button on my phone and sing the whole thing right there so I won't forget it. It's such a privilege and much fun for me to write songs, and then have them actually be accepted by people. If I have one thing to say--I just want people to know they are not alone.

I've made a lot of mistakes, and have experienced a lot of hurt. But the one thing I feel like you can do with pain, is make it your art. If you can turn it into something you can sing along to, the healing will come through that. To imagine one of my songs could change or help someone, or make them feel like someone understands them, makes this all just that much more amazing. It's not about me being a role model, and never will be. I'm part of the crowd. I just want to speak for the whole. We're in this together.

Sometimes, what you want to do in life.. it just inspire you, while u running your normal errands.. it just struck you.. its in you.. when you were young, what u always wanted to do, all your life..

to think i've did random drives just like her, just heading wherever..and whenever , its a great thinking process.. im proud of her, her songs are great..it feels really beautiful =) i think i can feel her.. !~

Inspiration! record them down, when you have them!

perhaps, a game that is different that any other game that i have played in my entire life. This is the game of patience instead of the fight fast and sharp. Perhaps the only game that everyone take it as serious as i am, this is not just an arena with 10 players, but an arena with billions of players, no matter strong or weak, put into the same arena, trying to rip each other off their heads, with referees that want to benefit themselves, a brutal mind game. a system built in it which cannot be fully understood by any or anyone, even if it is understood, there is no point to it, it is by trying to understand how to win that is what really matters.

In The Realm of natural Phenomena, Events occur independently of what ANYBODY thinks; therefore, natural science can explain and predict the course of events with reasonable certainty.

Reflexivity Is confined to social phenomena, more specifically, those situations in which participants CANNOT base their decisions on knowledge* -- and it crease difficulties for the social sciences from which the natural sciences are exempt

*Knowledge is represented by true statement. A statement is true if and only if it corresponds to the fact. That is what the correspondence theory of truth tell us. To establish Correspondence the facts and the statements which refer to the them must be independent of each other. It is this requirement that cannot be fulfilled when we are part of the world we seek to understand. That is why participants cannot base their decisions on knowledge. What they lack in knowledge they have to make up for with guesswork based on experience, instinct, emotion, ritual or other misconceptions. It is the participants biased views and misconceptions that introduce an element of uncertainty into the course of events

Black Swan

2010-02-17T06:16:00.002+08:00

Imagine someone of authority and rank, operating in a place where
rank matters—say, a government agency or a large corporation. He could
be a verbose political commentator on Fox News stuck in front of you at
the health club (impossible to avoid looking at the screen), the chairman
of a company discussing the "bright future ahead," a Platonic medical
doctor who has categorically ruled out the utility of mother's milk (be
cause he did not see anything special in it), or a Harvard Business School
professor who does not laugh at your jokes. He takes what he knows a lit
tle too seriously.
Say that a prankster surprises him one day by surreptitiously sliding a
thin feather up his nose during a moment of relaxation. How would his
dignified pompousness fare after the surprise? Contrast his authoritative
demeanor with the shock of being hit by something totally unexpected
that he does not understand. For a brief moment, before he regains his
bearings, you will see disarray in his face.

but I am often involuntarily hit with such an image when
bored out of my wits in meetings with serious-looking businesspersons
(dark suits and standardized minds) theorizing, explaining things, or talk
ing about random events with plenty of "because" in their conversation. I zoom in on one of them and imagine the ice cube sliding down his back—
it would be less fashionable, though certainly more spectacular, if you put
a living mouse there, particularly if the person is ticklish and is wearing a
tie, which would block the rodent's normal route of exit.*

Similarly, the speculator George Soros, when making a financial

"our minds are wonderful explanation machines, capable
of making sense out of almost anything, capable of mounting explana
tions for all manner of phenomena, and generally incapable of accepting
the idea of unpredictability."

These events were unexplainable, but intelli
gent people thought they were capable of providing convincing expla
nations for them—after the fact. Furthermore, the more intelligent the
person, the better sounding the explanation. What's more worrisome is
that all these beliefs and accounts appeared to be logically coherent and
devoid of inconsistencies.

the studious examination
of the past in the greatest of detail does not teach you much about the
mind of History; it only gives you the illusion of understanding it.

It struck me, a belief that has never left me since, that we are just a
great machine for looking backward, and that humans are great at self-
delusion. Every year that goes by increases my belief in this distortion.
( personally i experience this alot, most my friends are smart, in college that is, they think they are intelligent because of the things that they study, yet they do not know that in reality its not that simple. smart people like to delusion themselves and explaining it in more detail that is bias towards their own imagination with too much flawed engineering... they delusionize too much, practicalize too little, and respect their listener none. yet their listener, respects them as a speaker...this includes, lecturers.- edgarng)

Our inability to predict in environments subjected to the Black Swan,
coupled with a general lack of the awareness of this state of affairs, means
that certain professionals, while believing they are experts, are in fact
not. Based on their empirical record, they do not know more about their
subject matter than the general population, but they are much better at
narrating—or, worse, at smoking you with complicated mathematical
models. They are also more likely to wear a tie.

People in the classroom, not having faced many true sit
uations of decision making under uncertainty, do not realize what is
important and what is not—even those who are scholars of uncertainty
(or particularly those who are scholars of uncertainty). What I call the
practice of uncertainty can be piracy, commodity speculation, professional
gambling, working in some branches of the Mafia, or just plain serial en
trepreneur ship.

It is the drive to "focus" on what makes sense to us. Living on our
planet, today, requires a lot more imagination than we are made to have.
We lack imagination and repress it in other

Jim Rohn

Formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

Mahatma Gandhi

Faith must be enforced by reason. When faith becomes blind it dies.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

Mother Teresa

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Buddha

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Dale Carnegie

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

Solid word from Cowin Powell

2010-01-11T01:04:00.000+08:00

A new year, a fresh start. A time to consider your habits and your plan.
As you begin 2010, consider these words of wisdom from Colin Powell:

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Anytime you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.
An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people.
As you grow your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.
They will want you to stay where you are.
Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.
Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.
Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider this:
Never receive council from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those that never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.
Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.

With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.
“A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.”
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate – for the good and the bad.

Note: Be not mistaken.
This is applicable to family as well as friends.
Yes, do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what.
Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.

“In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us.
In Adversity We Know Our Friends.”

“If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.”

Great advice! Ask yourself how these words may apply to you. Make sure that Excellence is your prevailing attitude each and every day and make 2010 your most successful year yet!!

Trading from your gut is...a way of tapping into the extra power of the right hemisphere of the brain, which can be a powerful, effective, and entirely rational addition to any trader's repertoire."

I've never seen a timid eagle.

2009-12-09T04:49:00.001+08:00

I've never seen a timid eagle. It's not in their nature. When eagles act, they act as if they cannot fail.

I want to be more like eagles. When I decide to move forward, I want to move decisively.

Moving toward a goal in a tentative manner doesn't make sense. If I want to pursue a goal, I must turn my back on doubt and act as if I cannot fail.

Will my prophecy be fulfilled?

Love is the essence of your very being.

It is selflessness. Love is realizing that you are no greater, or lesser than someone and seeing the beauty in what they are. Love is the reflection of your true self brought out by someone you think is separate from you, but really isn't. Love is realizing they are an integral part of you.

Peace and love ;)

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

Myoho Renge Kyo

2009-10-11T10:40:00.002+08:00

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo by the monk Nichiren in 13th century Japan.

1-Everything is always changing. The time scales vary, but nothing is constant. That’s Kyo.
2-Causes produce effects. Sometimes this is not obvious because of time gaps between the cause and the appearance of effects. That’s Renge.
3-Life is both physical and non-physical. The human body is just meat, skin, bones and water without the intangibles like life, hope, identity, consciousness. That’s Myoho.
4-I needed a way to organize my mind in order to use these realities to win. That’s Nam.

One realizes that human relationships are the tragic necessity of human life; that they can never be wholly satisfactory, that every ego is half the time greedily seeking them, and half the time pulling away from them.

Who is master in the art of living he little distinguishes between its job and its free time, between its mind and its body,its education and its recreation, its love and its religion. It pursues its vision of the excellence in any thing it makes, leaving the others to decide if he is working or playing.
It always thinks to make both the things together.

“Don’t get too curious about the logic behind a move. The key to wealth in the market is the simplicity.”

Often we are not satisfied with profits from the financial market using a simple strategy, we want something more complex because it seems that a more complex strategy will bring us more money in less time.

I have a new to you, this is not true.

In financial markets the best strategy is not to “predict” the behavior, but act according to what you see in the chart. There aren’t actually patterns of human behavior, but when you read a chart, you will see the result of the emotions of the market operators, and you need to work based on it.

Human beings enter into direct contact with strong emotions in the financial market, you can have 15 indicators that confirm a trend and it suddenly change.

So, keep things simple on the market. Do not try to “predict” movements, only react to what the market is showing, you will have less concerns and more profits.

After 1971, central bankers could create money by merely printing more paper. In
today’s digital age bankers do not need paper to create money. As you read this, trillions of
dollars, yen, euros, pesos, and pounds are being created electronically—out of thin air.

"Fed can just make more money out of thin air by pressing a few keyboard buttons, yup thats right. believe it. "

As seen in zeitgeist. Creating debts out of thin air.
who suffer?

the citizens of course. poor souls. imagine if you are the one that have the license to print money and u work in fed .. WAW .

All the President’s Men

2009-06-27T01:54:00.001+08:00

The main campaign slogan of President Barack Obama was, Change We Can Believe In. Given
that slogan, we must ask a question: “Why did President Obama hire many of the same
people who worked in the Clinton administration?” That doesn’t seem like change. It seems
like status quo.

During the election, why did Obama consult Robert Rubin, who just recently
resigned as head of Citigroup, a company on the verge of its own collapse and that has
received some $45 billion in bailout funds, for advice on the economy? Why did he appoint
Larry Summers to be director of the White House National Economic Council and Timothy

Geithner, former head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to be his secretary of the
treasury? All of these men were members of the Clinton economic team and played a part in
the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, an act that forbade banks from selling
investments. Banks selling investments in the form of derivatives is a big reason why we are
in thismess today.

In overly simple terms, the purpose of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, crafted during
the last depression, was to separate savings banks, which had access to Federal Reserve
funds, from investment banks, which did not. Clinton, Rubin, Summers, and Geithner
succeeded in repealing Glass-Steagall in order to legitimize the formation of Citigroup, the
biggest “financial supermarket” in U.S. history. Many people do not know this, but at the
time of its formation, Citigroup was in violation of the Glass-Steagall Act.

The following is a comment Kenneth Guenther, CEO of Independent Community
Bankers of America (the small bankers of America), made to PBS in 2003 about the
formation of Citigroup:
Who do they think they are? Other people, firms, cannot act like this . . . Citicorp and Travelers
were so big that they were able to pull this off. They were able to pull off the largest financial
conglomeration—the largest financial coming together of banking, insurance, and securities—when
legislation was still on the books saying this was illegal. And they pulled this off with the blessings of
the president of the United States, President Clinton; the chairman of the Federal Reserve system,
Alan Greenspan; and the secretary of the treasury, Robert Rubin. And then, when it’s all over,
what happens? The secretary of the treasury becomes the vice chairman of the emerging Citigroup.

The most telling line is the last one: “The secretary of the treasury [Robert Rubin]
becomes the chairman of the emerging Citigroup.” As we’ve discussed, Robert Rubin was
Obama’s advisor during the presidential campaign.

President Obama’s current secretary of the treasury is Timothy Geithner. He was
under secretary of the treasury from 1998 to 2001 under Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin
and Lawrence Summers. Summers is Geithner’s mentor, and many call Geithner a Robert
Rubin protégé.Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

In other words, these same men are partially responsible for triggering this financial
crisis. By allowing the combining of savings banks with investment banks, these guys
accelerated the sale of the exotic financial derivatives that Warren Buffett called “weapons of
mass financial destruction” and that have helped bring the entire global economy to its
knees. How can there be change if the same people who expanded this financial mess remain
in charge? What does President Obama mean when he promises change we can believe in?

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission - Eleanor Roosevelt.

Happiness is a result of positive self-esteem. If you ask people what makes them happy, you will get all kinds of answer.
Most of them would include material things but that is not really true
Happiness comes from being and not having.

Happiness is internal. Happiness is like a butterfly. You run after it, it keeps flying away. If you stand still, it comes and sits on your shoulder.

When i become a big boy

2009-02-19T19:24:00.003+08:00

This is like the little boy who says when i become a big boy, I will do this and this and I will be happy . And when he becomes a big boy he says, when I finish college and do this and this and I will be happy. And when he finishes college he says when i get my first job and do this and this I will be happy. And when he gets his first job he says when i get married and do this and this and then I will be happy. And when he gets married he says when the kids get out of school and do this and this I will be happy. And when the kids get out of school, he says when i retire and do this and this, I will be happy. And when he retires what does he see? He sees life has just gone by in front of his eyes.

Some people practice procrastination by hiding behind High sounding words, saying "i'm analayzing" and six month later they are still analyzing. What they don`t realize is that they are suffering from a disease called, "paralysis of Analysis" and they will never succeed.

Then there is another b reed of people who procrastinate by saying " I'm getting ready" and a month later they are still getting ready and siz months later they are still getting ready. What they don`t realize is they are suffering from a disease called "excusitis". They keep making excuses.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. I don`t care what philosophy you believe in-- we have got only one shot at this game called life. The stakes are too high. The stakes are the future generations.

What time is it and where are we? The answer is now and we are here. Let's make the best of now and utilize the present to the fullest. the message is not that we don`t need to plan for the future. the message is that we do need to plan for the future. If we utilize our present to its fullest, we are sowing the seeds for a better future automatically aren`t we?

If you want to build a positive attitude, learn the phrase, "do it now" and stop the habit of procrastination.

The saddest words in life are:

"it might have been."
"I should have."
"I could have."
"I wish i had"
"If only i had given a little extra"

Never leave till tomorrow which you can do today. -- Benjamin Franklin

I am sure all winners wanted to be procrastinators but never got around to it.
When people say, "i will do it one of these days," you can be sure it means none of these days.

Some people keep waiting for all lights to turn green before they leave home. That will never happen and they fail even before they start. That is sad.

Stop procrastinating: Isn`t it time that we put off putting things off?

Remember, we have got only one shot at this game called LIFE.

either do or dont.

Looking for the gold

2009-02-19T18:59:00.003+08:00

As a young scots boy, Andrew Carnegie came to America and started doing odd jobs. He ended up as one of the largest steel manufacturers in the United States.

At one time he had $43 millionaires working for him. Several decades ago, a million dollars used to be alot of money; even today it is alot of money. Someone asked Mr Carnegie how he dealt with people? Andrew Carnegie replied, "Dealing with people is like digging gold: When you go digging for an ounce of gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an ounce of gold. But When you go digging, you don`t go looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold. "

What is your focus? Become a digger for gold. If you are looking for what is wrong with people or with things, you will find many. What are you looking for? Andrew Carnegie's reply has a very important message. There is something positive in every person and every situation. Sometimes we have to dig deep to look for the positive because it may not be apparent. Besides, we are so used to looking for what is wrong with other people and situations, we forget to see what is right. Someone once sad that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Remember -- When you go looking for gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an ounce of gold. But when you go looking, you don`t go looking for the dirt, you go looking for the gold.

I feel that this is very true and many people have forgotten about life lessons.

Making the most out of your brain

2009-02-18T00:59:00.004+08:00

recently i've been reading this book called 'making the most out of your brain ' by readers digest.
There is a specific personality trait called 'novelty-seeking' People who have an abundance of this trait are easily bored with routine and constantly search for excitement and adventure. They may indulge in risky behaviors such as taking drugs or driving too fast. A person who has little of this trait tend to be organized, wedded to a daily routine and likely to stick with the same partner, job and circle of friends.

Fact: some scientists think that novelty-seeking is controlled by the level of a brain chemical called dopamine. the more dopamine you have rushing around your brain, the more a sensation-seeker you are.

Hmph, this is interesting

ignite this flame as i stood this path.
broken and beaten.
i will not give up.
i am a warrior.
as fierce as i can be, deep within lies a heart that is beating.
i am human.
the desire to be successfull.
the desire of mankind.
the desire to reach my dreams.
far too long i forgotten who i am.
far too long i have not done what i suppose to.

This failure have taught me not only one thing,
but it drags me back to the solid base of my own pieces.
it brought me back to earth.

It taught me how to love, and appreciate.
I was far away, for far too long.

I needed it, i needed life to push me some more.
Thanks alot.

Lonely Cloud

2009-02-07T23:50:00.003+08:00

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Kate Beckinsale

2009-02-07T23:11:00.010+08:00

I could not feel her empty hands,
Running away from this grasp.
between her fingers are her sweat.
Shivering throughout this story.
I could not save her from misery.
She could not save herself.
She ran away.

My heart was pounding,
I called for her.
She never heard.

Now its my turn,
To Run away.
And as sad as i can be.
The only place where i could be.
Is to run away
Far far away,
and if i ever let go.
People rise again,
and they believe in tomorrow.
Change will come, forever, cause life keeps moving.
People rise together, and they believe in tomorrow.

Wait for me....

I realized that i've been so sloooow.
That im further away from my dreams every day.

It's as if I've lost my objective.
I used to think i have a way of life but it is changing.
Even though that is not reality, but i was being productive.
Now im not.

It makes me worry, that im looosing it.
I cannot lose.

I cannot.

I cant.

Last Breathe.

2009-02-01T17:07:00.002+08:00

It is my last breathe as i stand along this path.
I could not see as my eyes is getting blurer.
There is nothing more important than her.
But why do i linger here?

I took a chance to all in.
And i've lost it all in poker.

Confidence broken into pieces,
The last day i flop when i got aces.
Never forgetting that very day i drop and broke my bracers.

Had an accident on chinese new year,
it was a great bang in the rear.
I've lost it all not physically, not mentally but spiritually.
No one could ever understand this , its like standing in a dark alley.

Let me hear her one more time.
Please dont let me drown.
No matter what anyone say,
this is the only place for me.

Tell me whats it all for.

2009-01-20T00:15:00.000+08:00

Maybe deep down inside, you don't believe it
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
And you're not worthy of adoration
You're scared that somebody somewhere's gonna find
the burst pipe
And as fast as they bow down they'll leave you behind

Confide in me, tell your story
Are you terrified to fail
It's your fear that makes you worthy

Baby Be Brave...

Going Beyond Passion

2009-01-18T10:55:00.000+08:00

A lot of SME owners I know say they do what they do because of passion. In today’s challenging market, you need to go beyond passion to being obsessed with what you do. When you are truly obsessed with what you do, very little can hold you back.

But be careful to distinguish obsession with desperation, fear and foolishness. I quote Aung San Suu Kyi – “It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it”.

If you strive for greatness, not just being successful, then start thinking what your obsessions are, and allow that to drive you. That’s the new mantra of success.

Managing a company or a brand

2009-01-18T10:52:00.001+08:00

Is it really true that Malaysian entrepreneurs are mismanaging their business, company and employees? The truth is most of the Malaysian entrepreneurs are mismanaging their overall business because they are managing a business, a company not a brand. It is time to start managing you business as a brand rather than just a business or company. Only a brand you will be able to achieve your vision and mission and to grow globally. The lack of understanding and knowledge in branding has cause most of the entrepreneurs to realize the importance of branding. Most of the entrepreneurs are still selling their service, products quality, pricing and not their brand. Wouldn’t it be easier just to sell ONE items, which is your brand rather than so many things? When you are selling your business through services and quality you can never gain your desire profit especially when you have competitors who will be applying the similar strategy where by the end of the negotiation will be getting into a price war battle. Once you are in the price war, you might win the battle but you have lost the war. Will there be enough time for you to recover and reentering another battle and to survive the war? A proper brand management system will provide a better management system covering overall area from business, products, services, human resource and profitability. Although creating a brand it’s a long process but it will at least ensure to guaranteed the future of your long hard work in creating your business to last.

I've been inactive.

2009-01-18T01:44:00.004+08:00

I've been,Inactive in my pursue of dreams.
Where i can reach my goals.

Today i want to make a commitment to blog about them again.
the reason is because when i stopped blogging about those boring things, i never actually improve myself.

I gotta come back, i gotta visit seminars, i gotta read more, i gotta get serious, get inspired. i gotta focus,
I gotta be more calm, i gotta be in control. i gotta get back to the real world, the reality.

I gotta..
i gotta..

This is my new year resolution, to be a better man.

To be sensitive, and to love everyone around me. To love my friends and family, i've got to be a man, i've got to do the things i need to do, i have to do.

i 've got,..i 've got to appreciate every little things.. i 've got to come back to forex and investments. i've got to start protecting people around me, i've got to stop soaking up in my little box. i've got to get out of this rut. i've got to fight, i was borned , today. to fight for those in need. i was there far too long, but never too late. I am here today.

to become one, i've gotta keep going, keep moving on, without stopping. i must never forget what is my purpose. i must never .

Edgar, love yourself and be Patience.

remember, Love, yourself, and, be patience.

always remember,

"Death is nothing; but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily."-Napoleon Bonaparte

* When i close my eyes, i visualize and focus, i can feel this rush in my body, from my head to toe. im feeling it. Boy, i 've got a long way to go, i told myself.

Im not anyone you see on the street, i am one who will Become. Believe it and retrieve it. *

Many people stumble and fall.
Many people forget themselves after a certain age, and when i mean themselves, it is not their physical being but their Dreams.

We are all living with a purpose, and that purpose seems to be harder and harder when we grow older. It is because, we never really work towards it, and people find it impossible so.

Life never had limit until you limits it.
I always believed this strongly, even if i have to die, even if i have to sacrifice, if you want to take my dreams away, i will protect it with all my cause.

I will work towards my dreams with every single drop of my blood and sweat. deep inside me, is this untouchable drive .

I wont give up, no matter what anyone says, i will listen, but i wont give up.

We go to school, we laugh and we play.
We go to college, we laugh, and we play.
But once we go to work, things will change. I hope it stays the same. But because people are not good enough, they will take you down just for their own career advancement. This is the sad reality, i always ask myself WHY?

and finally i've got the answer, it sounds stupid but.. Hey, welcome to life. I wont say that its reality, but its life.

Hey, money plays a big role in this, its all because of money isnt it? People dont get enough, they get desperate because some friends of them are driving bmw and mercedes, they want it, they have no choice, they betray they lie they cheat, they go far more than that.

Theres many type of people in this world we cannot predict. This is why im trying to appreciate every friendship i can have now.. i dont know what is the future and what they will become.

To think about my past, i've done pretty good.

atleast im still a vurgin!
(i dont intend to crack jokes in this blog by the way, i read this blog to remind myself lol just incase anyone thinks why im so serious, everyone have their own serious times dont they =) )

Lets do business, lets make money, lets win games, lets have fun. Lets laugh! Lets appreciate and share things!
This is suppose to be life !!!

Life continues! Destiny awaits.. feeweeeeeEt!

girl for sagg

For women who like bad boys, men born under the sign of Sagittarius may be the perfect fit. These men are typically borderline bad boy mixed with just the right amount of responsible adult. Men who celebrate a birthday in late November through late December tend to like a balance between conforming to what is expected of them, and then blurring the lines of traditionalism. They are kind, considerate and very passionate. If you want to get a Sagittarius man in love with you, you need to appeal to what he finds attractive in women.

A woman who is interesting, fun loving and humorous appeals to a guy like this. If you want to get a Sagittarius man in love with you than you need to show him that you know how to be witty. It's important to not use self deprecating humor though. Never try and make him smile at your own expense. Instead find fun in the world around you and share it with him.

You will never get a Sagittarius man in love with you if you are the jealous type. Men born under this star sign want nothing to do with women who keep tabs on them. It's very common for men born at this type of year to have female friends. If you want to be the lady in his life you need to be accepting of all his friends. These relationships are generally very important to him, so respect them and you'll be sure to win your way into his heart.

As much as you'll want to take care of him, balance that with allowing him the chance to do things for you. Sagittarius men love to cater to the women they adore. If there's anything he can do for you, let him know. He'll love that you asked him and he'll also relish the praise you give him for his help. Never take on a maternal role with him. He already had a mother and he certainly doesn't want the woman he loves to play that part. If you can learn how to please him and do things for him, while giving him the chance to please you, you'll become irresistible to him.

Sometimes men born at this time of year have high goals for themselves. If you want to shine in his eyes, be the one who tells him that he can make any dream come true. Support him in every way possible and always tell him you believe in him. By doing this you are creating an unbreakable bond between the two of you
