Rhythem of Life
Not only that, it also taught about life. It taught me on how to become the best version of ourselves. Becoming the best u could ever be. The things written down was simple and straight to the point which was why i like it so much. i also liked the way they talked about simplicity,slience and solitude. All these elements are very truthful in our aspects of daily life.
Today i still got alot of my homewrk to go therefore i shall just end here.. On my next session, i shall go into details on what have i learned and how to apply these principles into our life.

My beloved little kawa kawi is a brave gal
My little kawa kawi is very brave as she faced all these adversities by herself and so calmly. If i were to strike in this situation, i would have panicked and keep flustering on wat to do and etc. Though she cried in front of her dad, but i can understand it is not easy for such a young gal to go thru it. i was really impressed by her courage. I was very glad that i became her pillar of strength when she needs it the most. I told myself i am willing to protect for e rest of my life, giving her endless happiness and joy. From yest dinner, i could see that her dad is no longer angry with her anymore and she is finally back to her ownself and can slp for very long hours as usual. (My beloved little piggy)
What have i learnt so far? Hmmmmmmmmm....Thought for a few ideas, Recently thought of setting up a newsletter and blogging to promote my insurance sales. And thru cutting of articles and sending of pamphlets. Many ideas been running thru and fro around my mind lately. I decided to take note of them and start applying them asap.
I must have e courage to give ideas and and work in a team. I realised e importance of teamwork. But of coz, it would be best to wrk in a team of at most 3-4 person in a grp. I have e importance of groupwork from reading the book of " How to get ideas" . I have also learned to have more courage in the things i am doing. Being more assertive and giving opinions at the right time and etc. I have learnt that all great ideas came from good or bad. Any idea can become a gd idea. U never noe which is good or bad. For there are many people who are successful based on the so called bad ideas and yet became very successful. Oh well.....
There are so many things to learn and i am progressing each day. Today i tried something diff though. I have showered right on the 2nd list of the day and started doing blogging now. As a result, i have kickstarted today in a great way, now i am focusing on planning my time wisely so that i ccan fully utilise my time wisely and smartly. I won't give up!!! I am going to fight bravely everyday!!!! i love u dad... Thanxs for giving me advice and helping mi to solve brenda's car problem. Without, u, things would not have been solved so easily. Thanxs dad...i love u...so is mum...my granny and my granddad and most of all....my little kawikawi

How to get more ideas (More Inputs)
I think it is because i never do things according to my plans. Which explains why i always screw up things and always do halfway. I have never successfully finished certain things compltely and will go off do other things which is my freaking problem for e past few years.
These time, starting from today, adapting and applying from what i have learnt. I have decided to take action. Now i will start to plan my daily activities. The problem with mi is that i always plan but i did not do it. Then wat is the freaking point with planning???? When u r not even going to do it?? I beginning to tink it must be certain things that are plan wrongly which is why i am always behind schedule and fail to do things effectively.
Now i have just started to plan my goals for this year. Now i am approaching towards the start of May. Things got to remodify and change again. I got to upgrade and think of new alternatives to progress my personal growth. Everything got to start within myself, if i can't even settle myself properly. How am i going to succeed in wateva stuffs i am going to do.. Starting from this moment, i will start to take actions. Later i will be going to my kawi place and plan with her on how shall we save money for our meals. We have failed to plan and have spurge on expensive meals lately.
Today i learned 2 topics from this very goos book. How to get ideas. Firstly, i have learned to be more observant of the surrounding around me. I will try the techniques of doing different things daily to break my usual routine. If everyday is going to be a rountine, You will observing new things and life will become stagmant and ur brain will not absorb new information. I will try different approaches towards the things that i have done everyday. Including the way i dressed, the way i eat,, trying new cusines, trying new clothings, listening to new type of music, reading different categories of books, watching different types of tv shows. This is the only way to generate more ideas and keep ur surrounding ever interesting and wonderful to learn.
Next, i will learn to be more observant of the surroundings around me. I will bring a notebook around mi whereever i go in the near future so that i am able to note down the new things that i have learned and all record in the book. When it is finsihed, i will just go through the whole book on what i laerned and proceed to writing a whole new brand new book. This is to tell myself that that each day if i am being more observant, i am able to learn so many more things from everywhere. Every where and everything could lead to an great idea. Remeber an idea is combination of old elements which becomes a new one.. Must have faith in yourself. I have decided to notice more about what i have learned from the surrounding and note down whenever i leanred someting from somewhere... i felt so good after expressing myself in this blog...All e best and cheerios!!!!

Time is wasting away. Buck up Sire!
i have learned to become an extraordinary person. In order to be extraordinary, u nid to do things that are different from others. U need to be a leader and make swift decisions and always think of solutions to solve yours problems.
i have also learned to let go of my past and move forward, in this way only i can progress to my achievements and goals that i want to achieve. i have learned many theories and have not yet posted in the computer for future referencing.
today i would give a brief note of wat i learned and would not go so detailed abt what i have actually learned from there. This is because there are so many things to say and simply a blog will not be able to finish everything so swiftly.
Today i have finished something. And i would be doing mos of all e things i wanted to do...This is because i want to achieve my goals and targets.....for e society and the 6 most impt areas of my life....
I shall go into dept abt what i learned in the course in e due days to come.... love my family, friends bro and sisters and most imptly of all..my beloved kawikawi and granny

1st day of resurrection
Today, i shall resume my goal setting which i had left it in discard since March. I shall start planning my programs later on. Still got 2 things to do before departing to my beloved Sui Mak Mak house for our lovable movie session.
That time, i realised i have lost alot of opportunity with leng and von. It is becoz i did a very poor presentation and was really damn ill-prepared. I was considered lucky that leng would still buy the insurance policy from me. Given outside ppl, i dun tink anyone wld wanna buy any insurance frm me liao lor. However, i have learnt from my mistake, no matter hw big or hw small a client is, i must be prepared at least 3 days in advance so that my client can have a better understanding and i can have more confidence in my speech as well. From leng exp, i missed One case from yvonne. It was really a pity. But i told myself, i will not repeat the same mistake again and would do a better presentation each time i meet up with a prospect. Thank you leng and von....i will do my best to serve you.
Next, i would like to keep up with my goal setting because i have been quite slack with it. I still have a wager with lim ker yen and i wld not wanna lose it. I will replan everything later on and plan my strategy well. With a well-planned strategy, i am sure to achieve my goals and targets for as long as you believe in it.
Today, i would like to share on the experience i had in changi hpsital lately, because Kawi kawi's dad got a "Er Sui Bu Ping Heng" and was feeling really very dizzy and keep vomiting. Kawi kawi and I was really worried. As a result, We brought him to e hospital and consult a doctor. the moment when my kawikawi, told us that e doc diagnosed that Micheal may suffer frm mild stroke and needed to be warded for observation, all of us were stunned. For that time, all of us did not knew wch hospital ward is suitable and all were so loss. At 1st, i thought it was gonna be very serious therefore i suggested to take e b1 ward as it may take very long. Luckily, it turned out to be a quite a minor case. The bills come up to $300 plus just for consuiltation and warded for one day and i finally felt e importance of SHP and total shield. Imagine with just having this 2 policy combined, U nid not worry abt admitting into hospital shld anything bad to happen upon ya. I have seen the importance of insurance and i would use this to tell to my clients the importance of the insurance. I can finally understand y so many ppl wun wanna go for better doctor due to e lack of funds and i tink insurance is the better way out as it is cheaper. There are many ppl who thinks that insurance is just a waste of money but when u expectedley faced an unfortunate incident, u wld really see e importance in it. I told myself, i will sell SHP and Total shield as my main priority.
That day, i was glad i went to attend MR Jian Hong seminar. I learned a great deal of things from him and would share the things i learned frm him the next session. Heehee, i got to rush and settle my stuffs fast!!! gopt a movie to catch!!! LOve Family, Kawikawi!!!! Friends and Clients!!

A beautiful Quote from Morrie
Adapted From Tuesdays with Morrie
Monday, February 18, 2008
Guilt
1. One expression of unhealthy guilt is when you say, "I'm overcommitted." Taking on more than any human being can reasonalbly accomplish is a common characteristic of unhealthy guilt. We have too many projects and too much to do and not enough time. It is a cause of stress and is fed by the difficulty that we have in saying no perhaps to our own needs and to other people's expectation of us. Furthermore, over-commitment is an addiction that keeps us anaesthetised to the anxious and empty feelings that will inevitably surface if we are left alone without distractions. So over-commitment is a way for us to avoid our pain. It blocks the process of recovery for us.
2. Another expression is, "I really know how to worry." When you start worrying about even the most common of things, it is basically 'awfulising" a common event. This immediate escalation of any small event into a world class catastrophe is what we talked about when Albert Ellis called it "awfulising". the most amazing feature is that little or no objective evidence is required to come to conclusions of unprecented gloom and doom. This kind of worry is the outer projection of our innermost fear and that of our own distraction. Without the knowledge of love, fear is that remains. We can never feel safe.
3. I often wake up feeling anxious or have periods when i am anxious for days and for weeks. If we are lucky, the anxiety begins after a good night's sleep. If not, it happens in the middle of the night or wakes up early and the mental wheels start to spin. We are ruminating in the past and it starts to take on a life of its own. You start to have conversations with yourself, "If only i has done this." or "If only i didn't do that." Accompanied by worries of future uncertainties, "What if this happens? or "What if that happens?" Our anxiety often masks danger as well. After all the people that we are saving or helping or demonstrating our achievements to, begin to look like our persecutors.
4. "I'm a compulsive helper." The ranks of helping professionals, nurses and therapists and volunteers and committee chairpersons are bulging with the guilty people. In reaching out to toehrs we naturally try and give them the love that we so desperately need ourselves. So if we don't know how to love ourselves, any attempts to love others.

Getting Off Our Buts (The incompletes)
The reason why alot of people are afraid to go past their comfort zones is that they are very risk averse. Risks can fall into a variety of categories. These are:
- Spouse or partner risk. This is sharing what you want or think or feel of your spouse or partner.
- Frendship risk which is hared feelings dealing with unresolved conflict.
- Work or career risk, seeking a promotion or changing jobs.
- Financial risk, setting up a significant retirement programme or investing in something new
- Educational risks, taking classes outside your field or even getting a degree
- Physical risks, climbing a mountain and participating in team sports
- Spiritual risks, making a spiritual commitment and attending a retreat.
- Material risk, purchasing a car or house or letting go of excesses that we may have.
- Emotional risk, dealing with unresolved issues and looking forward.
To have more awareness, ask yourself in which of these categories do you experience the most comfort in risk taking and the most resistance. Then ask yourself, what is the learning here, what does this tell you about yourself? Creating more possibilities for yourself requires you to move outside your comfort zones and new dimensions actually awaken you beyond that wall of resistance that you have set up. High risk = Low risk, Low risk = High risk. Being risk averse creates a lot of incompleteness in our lives. We tend to leave these incompletes open as well. They affect our integrity. They also affect and infect our moral value systems and our belief systems and have a large impact on our lives.
Relationship incompletes are:
- Having unresolved conflicts
- Not showing appreciation
- Withholding forgiveness
- Having importent unexpressed feelings
- Being unable to communicate expectations
- Withholding an apology
- Communicating an untruth
- Having difficulty meeting new people
- Not letting go of damaging relationships
- Not developing intimacy with a special person
- Saying, "i will love that person when......."
Integrity incompletes are:
- Not keeping an agreement
- Behaving differently when the person with whom you have an agreement is not present
- Misrepresenting a product or service
- Withholding important information
Career incompletes are:
- Settling for a dead-end job
- Not developing your talents and skills
- Ignoring educational opportunities
- Doing the minimum just to get by
Financial incompletes are:
- Having unpaid debts
- Not having a retirement plan
- Not having a savings plan
- Not having a college programme for your children
- Not paying off the mortgage
Physical incompletes are:
- Not establishing a healthy diet plan
- Not commiting to a regular diet programme
- Not quitting smoking
- Not dealing with excessive drinking
- Material incompletes could:
- That dream house
- That new car
- Sending those old clothes to goodwill
Personal incompletes are:
- Putting off that decision to have children
- Deciding to have children when you really do not want to
- Avoid setting goals or following through on action plans
- Not clarifying personal missions and values
- Saying "i will love myself when...."
Spiritual incompletes are:
- Putting off this connection some later date
- Dismissing spiritual guidance as unimportant even though an inner voice tells you to be open to it.
Take a look at these lists of incompletes and understand that incompletes have a more significant on our sense of well being than most people are willing to acknowledge.
A real transformation occurs when you shift your vision from the rear view mirror to the windshield. Incompletes have a way of diverting our attention to the rear view as we focus on what's behind us, our past history. Incompletes keep us living in the past while diminishing our present experiences as well. Break this pattern of the incompletes that have demanded so much of your time and attention! Start to move on! Understand that by taking more risks you start to open yourself to new learning and more exciting relationships with others and with new people and new learning and perhaps even nature. Not just nature all around you but the nature that is within you as well.

My very 1st namecard and Stickers

The past is not equal to future.
All believes carry with them consequences
Believe is a feeling of certainty about what something mean
"In life, you look for what you look for, seek and you shall find"
Whenever u want to make changes. there must a leverage whereby u yourself cannot take it which will create massive amount of pain if you did not make any changes in your life. Change is never a matter of ability but is a matter of motivation.
therefore we will reach the second step. which it is to interupt the disciplinary pattern. Once u break the pattern that u r always comfortable with, you are able to build in a new habit which will result in the new change u wanted to make at first...
Lastly, we are to create an empowering alternative. We got to reinforce it and become a habit.
Haha, quite poorly wriiten though. but i am still learning. But i believed as time passed, i will write a good system what i learned from anthony robbins.
i will work hard for my exams and hope to do well this time....i believe i can do it!!! Tomorrow i will put in effort and complete my RP and Mso by tml! Richmond gogo jiayou~~!!
oh ya, most imptly of all, i must thanxs my little kawi kawi for setting up a birhtday surprise for me. I am so happie that she actually make a bbq session for me.. I was very touched and fortunate to have such a great gf like her.. I told myself i shower her with more love e next time round~~!!! Dar Dar i love u more~~~!!!!! MUACKS~~~!!!
With love from Richmond to My beloved xiao bu tian, parents, grandparents and bros and sisters

Slight improvements~!
Ever since i started blogging, i began to realise i am actually self reflecting my actions daily. It is a very good excercise to express your inner feelings. I felt better each time i started to blog because all my inner suppression is being let out.
Recently i am able to organise my things more properly and has established certain habits in my life. I am able to make it a point to study books and read newspapers as much as i could. Though there are some times when i am too lazy and miss out on reading but for at least i knew i did miss them and will make an effort to do it better e next time. Nobody is perfect at the 1st time, it is through lotsa trial and error before u can actually make amendments and improve from them.
wat r e improvements i have made?
i have become more aware of the things that i need to do. next, i become more efficient and more organized. I can sense that i have a control over time though soemtimes i tend to waste too much time on day dreaming..haha....
Next, my diet has also been reduced alot. Instead of ogling at lotsa oily food in the past, now i will tink twice before eating those oily food. It is like smoking, once the quitting session gets going. It will be getting easier and easier day by day. I am determined to slimmed down just like e way i quitted smoking. i believed in myself and i knew i will be able to do it. it is a battle of mi and myself.
Anthony Robbins has shared key points to unleash your power!
1. Know your outcome
2. Know why u want it
3. Take massive Action
4. Know what you are getting
5. Change your approach
he has explained it very detailed. I am trying to apply his theories into my life. i have certain outcomes embedded into my mind already and trying to understand y wld i want it. Meanwhile i am also trying to take massive actions and knowing what e outcome will be.. Lastly if everything is not wrking, i should just keep trying to change my approach till i actually achieved what i wanted to achieve.
Take for example, there was a notice board i just bought lately. At 1st, i though by buying 3m stickers. it will definitely stick on the walls but i was wrong. As a result it fell off and was not secure at all, next i tried to use bluetack. it work at 1st but eventually it did not last and it came off too.. There are certain times i wanted to give up and decided to take dwn e notice board. But thanxs to my dar dar, she told mi to put e stickers my mum use.. Indeed i went to try and amzazingly it wrks perfectly~~!! this simple little incident has taught mi that for as long as u r determined to do something. There are bound to be met with obstacles and difficulties but as long as u persist. It will eventually be solved and achieved in the way u never taught possible.
due to e time constraint, sad to say. i got to go..... But anyway, i love my cute little brenda, granny, mum, dad and grandpa and my bros and sis. With love, believe in yourself~!!

One of the saddest day in my life. Still e same
i am someone who can never get things done on the approriate time which resulted in alot of things being screwed up.
This time rd, i can sense joey is very disappointed with my performance. I am really very sorry abt it and i certainly hope joey would understand. Recently i got too many things at hand, and for the moment i did not know how to handle so many things at one time. Frankly speaking i am feeling very stressed. I kinda lose my direction and goals. I wanted to be organised and done everything chop chop, but y is this happening to me?
I am feeling very sick today, but at the same time i was feeling very depressed and sad. This is because i felt that i had wasted so much time. i wanted to slimmed down but i failed, my darling though didn't mind, she really wanted to see mi lose weight. i was very sad that i fail to accomplish such a little little thing as well. Andy, within 2 weeks had already lost 3 kg and i am very impressed and at e same time very disappointed with myself.
i have everything yet i always to fail to get the optimum results, never in my life did i got number one. i got very supportive family. Esp my dad, mum, granny and even grandfather. And the most impt of all, i had a wonderful gf who has been at my side supporting me and encouraging me. never fail to make mi smile and always did her best as a gf. But....
This time round, i did badly for my exams, Scoring an average of 55 marks for term 1 and term 2. i am super overweight with a weight of 93 kg!!! i am very poor and has bascially no savings. Practically i am living everyday as it is. My sales are ppor and i was putting half hearted effort in insurance. Am i giving myself too much preesure abt self-achievements or am i being too lazy and can't be bothered abt life? i really dunnoe.
This time round, i am not defeated by anyone but myself. If i can't obvercome this problem. I will stuck like this for e rest of my life. I need to make and implement changes. what should i do?
Issit a test from god? issit becoz i am just plain fuck lazy and too relac one corner.
for this moment, i i really did know wat am i gonna type . Everything just rush thru my mind. Blabbering wat is going on inside my mind. I had lotsa knowledge but never once applied them. I always tok and no action. Why is this happening? I dun wan it to be like tat. I want to be somebody. Somebody weaby i can support my family and beloved brenda.
Haha, hais......omg~~!! wat is life? is life a box of chocolates? a bed of roses? game? mystery?
wat am i gonna do in order to have significant changes in my life?....
i guess i gotta plan because i never ever plan for anything. i decided to rewrite everything this round. replan my goals and dreams. this time round, i got to be practical abt my dreams and goals, it is time to show my darling some results. everything seems so far aways becoz i never care.
i decided to rewrite my organsier this time round. i will allocate my time properly and do e things stated in my timetable. I believed for so as long i followed my timetable, i am able to reap some results. For the moment, i shall plan till the end of year.
With new plans, new goals and new priorities, i can achieve what i want.
Wish me luck god~~! i love brenda, family and friends...

My 1st day of blogging
Today, i would say it is my resurrection day. The day whereby i decided to make changes in my life and accomplish the things i want to achieve for i have been procrastinating for a long long time
1. I have applied a few changes in my life, Frm today onwards i am going to plan my daily activities the day before. As what they always say, having a plan could save me alot of time.
2. i am going to jot down what i learned abt life and interesting aspects of life and share with everybody on my blog. I hope to maintain my discipline and blog everyday wch also gives me the opportunity to review myself as well.
3. I have decided to plan small little goals before thinking of big goals, it is always because i could not see the results and as a result always give up halfway
4. i decided to do a sunday review every week. Regarding the things i have done, learned and not done. This enables mi to reflect what have i done for e whole week. It enables me to monitor my weight and my spending of money
5. I will experiment and read more books and papers. Recently i was very depressed because i wasn't reading anything and let everyday goes on as it is. This time round, i managed to start my reading habit and realsied actually i enjoyed reading alot. It was my poor planning that lead me dun feel like studying all the time. therefore, planning of time is very important.
6. I am beginning to realise that Time management is actually the number one key skill u need to possess. Coz time is unrefundable and and ticking by every second and minutes. I want to experiment with planning my daily activities and achieving the perfect balance of life. I believe in achieving balance, i can get the optimal results in every aspect of life, which would made mi very happy and having no regrets in life.
haha, actually that is for all today, i am very happy that i have actually taken my 1st step in blogging. I beleve in time to come there will be a lot of stories and my aspects and the adversities i faced to share in my blog.
Love Brenda, Family and Brothers and Sisters
