Sorry for the lack of posts!

Sorry for the lack of posts~ I have been extremely busy over the past few months.

Interesting things that have been happening? Well..we celebrated Christmas in the usual orderly fashion. Same to NYE as well.

Infact we had an interesting party over at NYE. We were visiting this friend's place earlier on. we had bbq, steam boat...the works. very nice place. the decor was very nice and modern. There after we had to head to another friend's place. which happened to be like 1 street away? How cool is that.
We then mixed around abit over there and we promised to bring the friend's over from the second place to the first place.

So we gathered around 10+ people walked down the street with crackers and all. Did the count down there. combined total people in one place was around 30+ which is by far one of my most biggest and most interesting NYE parties ever.

which brings us to this coming gathering. Seems that our group from velvet has all toned and mellowed down from clubbing and we've decided to hang out for house parties this time round. CNY is going to be celebrated over at my place. Should be fun! we have bbq's and pot luck on the way.

Funny thing though..this year for my family reunion dinner...we're having pizza and mushroom soup. how interesting! Breaking traditions! I like!

Cheers!

Believe in yourself!

Many a time, when you believe in something and you wish to pursue it. You will face challenges. Not many people realise that challenges may come in the form of cold water or icy cold water (discouragement) from one's spouse, family, friends. This is where many people will falter and think to themselves why are they doing such a thing. These people soon lose sight of their dreams and hopes. They resign to fate that they are meant to do what they do and live the current life that they live.

THIS IS NOT TRUE! If you are persistent enough and strong willed enough. you will OVERCOME this form of challenges and have a personal breakthrough! you will find yourself a much stronger person then before. So what if your loved ones and friends laughed and belittled you. Be strong! Show them! I guarantee you that at the end of the day, you will be the one standing tall!

Many a time, most people do not know that they are in fact one way or another discouraging a person, or to be crude...DESTROYING other's dreams. Just because they dare not dream. doesn't mean that others must follow their lead.

DREAM ON! BUILD YOUR DREAM! Never give in, Never ever ever ever ever give up! the moment you give up on yourself. That is the end of everything. Always stay positive! feed your mental mind positive thoughts and in turn you will get positive results!

The top 3% of the world's smartest and powerful men did become what they are overnight. It is through a process of constant reading of self development books and upgrading their knowledge + also they DARED TO DREAM!

A Flower which is full of good pollen will attract bees. A bad one simply will not.

Build and develop yourself so that YOU may become that flower, and bees will naturally be attracted to you!

The household gold concept

In my last post. I have covered what is a prosumer mindset.

Today, I will be telling you about how it applies to this concept called the household gold concept.

Did you know, that the house you live in contains equity? example. if your house is valued at $300, 000 and you took a bank loan of $250,000. your house has an equity of $50,000?

You are literally sitting and living on a gold mine. the average household expenditures run up to about $510 every month. meaning that's about $510 a month to be mined from your house hold. based on almost 6 billion population in the US. Taking that amount X $510. that's almost like a trillion plus dollars! and that is only 6% of the world's population. amazing isn't it!

So this is example of a pro-sumer mindset is brought forth into the home environment.

Buying from your own hyper market and consuming it. as such. you will not only enjoy a discount but also enjoy your own rebates because at the end of the day, you are reaping the profits.. not the retailers!

so what are you waiting for? start mining your household gold today!

For more information. you can read up this book called "household gold"

The prosumer mindset

Hi all!

today I will be trying to illustrate or rather to bring about a new point. The prosumer mentality.

See...all of us are consumers...and it is our nature. we buy things to consume. however what we do not know or understand is that while we are consuming. we are not earning profit from it. For example.. say you've been using a brand of toothpaste for all eternity. does this particular brand congratulate u (" well done! thanks for recommending this brand to others!") and pay u a some of referal fee every month? The plain fact of the truth answer is NO. they don't. They just sit back and enjoy the trickling of cash flow from all consumers all around the world.

Now, on the other hand. The prosumer mindset is all about producing and consuming at the SAME TIME. producing from your own market and consuming it.

An example that bests tells brings this point across is.. (* names for examples has been changed for privacy purposes but you will get my point)

For example: if you own a car today and you own your own shelly gas station. would you be pumping gas from other stations such as Essoy or caltexer? No. more truth to the fact is that many who own their own gas station will pump their gas at their own station.

Not many people understand such a theory exists. but it does. and it is an upcoming trend which is taking the world by storm.

So therefore understand what this means and how it can benefit you in what you do. earning and saving money at the same time!

For more information. you can read it all up in this book called "the prosumer"

Missing in action

Hey all!

Been really busy with school and all. life is good and is getting better

Cheers!

Good suggestions

Time today flew like a breeze. Earlier on thursday night, I went for an NYP alumni meeting. It was my first time in an alumni meeting which was rather interesting and insightful.

The main purpose of the night was to have a focus group on how actions can be taken to draw more people to use alumni services or at least be aware that they have an alumni to turn to when in need.

Some of the answers which came out from some questions were like, maybe we can have a club house? with a state of the art entertainment centre or resturant. something along that line.

I had suggested another direction. How about deciding to lease some of NYP's premises out to young start up's so that they can have a venue to conduct business or perhaps leasing out the venues to some nyp graduates to host events. which is beneficial to the student body as they came see what kind of graduates NYP has been putting out to the industry.

well I do hope they take our suggestions into consideration, partly I think its a great idea to contribute back to the community but also it can be a launching platform for some young entrepreneurs! I reckon it will be an exciting time by then.

Positive energy!

Today's post for me is rather exciting in a way. I feel very positively charged! Even though that its 3am in the morning, but I feel good today.

I was just having a nice conversation with a friend of mine and she was telling me about how problematic and negative life is. My reply to her was. "if you have negative thoughts, you will attract negative energy and you will feel that your life is running in a negative way"

so...therefore..in light of this...you must have and feel positive thoughts!

but how do we do so?

Well..first thing..

1) when waking up in the morning, look yourself in the mirror!

2) tell yourself...you can do it! five times at least..

3) find yourself a positive thought and keep repeating it over and over in your head for at least three times throughout the day.

You'll find yourself feeling much better after awhile of practice.

so I shall end of abit here with this quote..dedicated to my friend in need.. I hope that you will benefit from this.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is a sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
