Do you consider yourself rich or poor?  Have you been holding on to those why questions like:

• Why am I just not making enough?
• Why am I still so poor regardless of how hard do I work?
• Why am I not as successful as my friends or relatives, etc.

I used to embrace myself with that thought too. But not anymore, as I came across the following story that drew my attention to realize how wealthy and fortunate I actually am.

Being poor is not as scary as, if a person were to secure and lock himself/herself up with the thought of being poor. In fact, that’s a pathetic thought when one were to acknowledge the fate and destiny that one was born poor, and die poor. Poor man, poor life. The difference of a filthy rich and poor person,  is not the actual amount of money he/she is holding on to; but the thought - to stay poor or move yourself to the greener side of the meadow.

There was a young man always grumbling, blaming, and complaining about the fact that why was he not born rich, why was he unable to get rich. It was until one day, an old  man came along, saw this unhappy young man, and asked for the reason of his unhappiness, when he should have been a cheerful, passionate, and motivated young lad at this young age.

The young man answered, “I do not understand why do I have be born poor, grew up in a poor family, and most probably I’ll continue living in this way till my last breathe in life. I have so many things I wanted to do, so many wishes that I hope to fulfill. I want to learn to play music so that I can attract a good and pretty lady. I want to get married. I want to roam the world and see how beautiful the world is out there with my beloved. But I can’t do all these, all simply because I am POOR!”

The old man took a good at this young lad said, “You, poor? I can see how rich you are! ” Read the rest of this entry »

“If I have the choice…” How often have you been hearing this, or better still, saying this to yourself? And what would majority of the people set to complete the question?

If I have to the choice to be rich and wealthy….Well in my humble opinion, you had already made YOUR CHOICE when you said this. Didn’t you? You made the choice of being the OPPOSITE of rich and wealthy!

Rich and wealthy don’t just sit there to dream and grumble about things. They worked for it. Though more often than not, many perceived that rich and wealthy don’t work hard at it. Well, these people who presumed so, are definitely right! That is because these riches work smart. That is the forumla where many are seeking for, where in fact most are not able to find as long as they are trapped in what Robert Kiyosaki liked to call, the Rat Race.

The Game Rule In Today’s Context: History Repeats Itself

This rule is as true and as real as it is for now, as the olden days. I would say that it had been there for centuries and centuries. How many military leaders have you seen going personally to the military warfare, standing right at the frontline of the battleground? It has been said that olden days military wisdom depicts what is in today’s business world. That is why we have the Art of War by Sun Tze.

The Hard Work Indicator: Are you working too hard?

Give yourself a break, and get away from your usual view and perception. Replay your daily routine as if you are watching drama series. Is the content of each and every episode mostly the same? And are you happy that? If your answer is a NO, then you are working way too hard.

Work for a Meaningful Objective: What is your purpose or objective?

What exactly is your point of working so hard? For your retirement? Well then if it is so, then based on Tim Ferriss’s The 4 Hour Work Week is that you are working without an objective, you are only setting yourself a destination. Based on his pratical tested theory, new rich loved what they do, and never intend to quit for retirement. And in fact they are pretty happy with it as they work less and enjoy more than others.

In Summary: What is my point?

Don’t just get yourself trapped, and more importantly here is a critical word to add to the sentence, “unknowingly”. Don’t get yourself trapped UNKNOWINGLY. It will be as if you are living without a direction, and your only means of living is to work and work.

Doesn’t it seems as if it is like a donkey and a carot? The only thing that the donkey can see is neither the nice scenery, nor the people,  or anything, because they only have one ultimate focus. The carot! Who knows the donkey might not even be getting the carot at all even after all the hard work?

In some point in time, we are bound to meet with opportunities in our business, career or life. And the decisions that we made for all these opportunities are going to be an impact in our life at a later stage.

It could be anything like a decision for career switch, a decision for business start up, a decision for joint venture and partnering, a decision to migrate with your spouse to another country, etc. There are so many opportunities and options as we walk through the different stages of our lives.

We are more than often at the junction of whether to proceed and take off from the point from where we are at to the point where we want to be, or a point where we would just stay where we are. It is a tough call for some. And it is a gamble to others.

As humans, we are always putting ourself at the mercy of temptation; the picture that we paint in our mind, that the grass is greener at the other end, or the persuasive sayings and opinions of others, or the emotion appeal that was created as a result of temptation, which all sums up to in putting our brain in an unfavorable condition to make the real decision and see the whole picture.

What is the missing piece of puzzle?

Defeat is often a taboo to successful people, most of the time they would rather think in the way that they are getting a set of results that is different from their desire, instead of having to admit that it is a defeat.

Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory. – Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993, American Preacher and Author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”

When we talk about defeat, we are putting ourselves at a point of despair, as well as a defeated position of which “I can’t do it”, or “I am unable to do it”, and very much linked to “impossibility”.
As we have talked about in the previous post, that Arthur C. Clarke had said that the only way to discover the limits of possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

If we were to admit defeat and talk about defeat before getting into and beyond the impossible, how would we ever be successful?

A success system is a system made up of many different sub systems, processes, tasks, actions, things to do, etc, but with the main goal of success. Before getting too far, we will need to have an understanding of a system. A system is defined as the combination of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a whole.

Elements of sub systems, processes, tasks, actions, are put together in order to form the system of success. With success as the main aim, every success has its own system, process, task, or action to follow and complete before you move nearer to the goal of success.
