How Much Do You Earn?

How Much Do You Earn?

Take a minute to answer this question.
How much you per hour?
Let me estimate.

If you are a cab driver, $10
If you are a tutor, $20
If you are a top notch programmer, $25
If you are a lawyer, its $400!!!

Now you know the vast difference in pay,
realise it's not how hard you work.
Labourers and maids work the hardest, yet they got the least.

In the law and health profession, the supply is controlled and limited by the powers.
And the customers had no choice.

For example, if you operate the only toilet or the only drink store in a crowded area,
you can raise the price sky high, outrageous price and get away with it. Cos the customers have no choice.

For example, if you have a boat to freedom, escapees will pay you everything for the trip.

A limited supply with desperate customers is the magic formula.
Desperate customers will pay you everything for health, for wealth, for freedom.

What can you offer for their money?

Don't Confuse me with the Fact

Don't Confuse me with the Fact

There is a dangerous thinking among some people.
And that is: they had pre-conceived ideas. Once they made up their mind about what they want to believe, they will use every bits of information to support their pre-conceived stands.

For eg. in a child abuse investigation, the social worker could have already presumed that the person is guilty and would try to dig every incidents to support her view. With skillful interpretation and and skewing of statistics, one could paint an innocent person guilty.

"Don't confuse me with the fact".

They filter their mind. They only hear what they want to hear, they only hear things that support their motion.

This is most obvious in a court of law. One party paints him black, the other paints him white.
The better painter wins the game of persuasion in the jungle of deception . Win or lose, the customers suffer, the painters laughing their way to the bank. And the judge plays God.

What Good is Your Wisdom?

What Good is Your Wisdom?

In Chinese, we say 'lau chin yuen' meaning 'old wisdom'.
I had a chit chat with my taxi driver morning.
He said 'old wisdom' should be called 'obsolete wisdom'
In the days of old, you can boast that you have 20-year experience as a car mechanic.
But are such experience relevant today?
The car system has changed drastically. It doesn't work the way it used to be.
In fact, such 'wisdom' becomes a liability.

We have to learn to unlearn.

No wonder, organisations prefer to employ younger staff who have better qualification, up to date on the current technology and thinking and cheaper salary.

The older works are more costly, set in their ways, and less open to new ideas.

Why gum sales are recorded

Why gum sales are recorded

Quoted in the Straits Times dated 28th Sep 2004:

"WE REFER to Mr Wong Hsien Wu's letter, 'No reason to register gum sales' (ST, Sept 9).

The Ministry of Health allows the sale of chewing gum with medicinal/dental value by a pharmacist to customers. Our current regulations require records to be kept so as to verify transactions if the need arises.

JEANNIE THNG (MS)
Deputy Director
Corporate Communications
for Chief Executive Officer
Health Sciences Authority"

Wow. What an excellent example of a government official template reply. An answer that is not an answer.

I think what the reader want to ask is:
"Why do you need to register for gum sales and not the other sales?".
"What do you do with the information?"

I'm clueless how the registration is going to serve whatever purpose it had in mind.

I have one to contribute too:

"Can you help me?"
"No, I'm busy"
"What are you busy about?"
"I'm busy doing nothing.

Why Self-Help Books Don't Help

Why Self-Help Books Don't Help

It is not the number of books you read,

nor the variety of sermons you hear,

but it is the frequency and earnestness

with which you meditate on these things

till the truth in them becomes your own and

part of your being, that ensures your growth.

No Money No Talk

No Money No Talk

Let me relate 4 stories:

Story 1:
Here's a country club for the rich, where members paid up to $100,000. A man fell by the kerb, in the vicinity of the club, and laid on the ground, under the rain. People passed by. Cars passed by. Not a samaritan came to help...for 20 minutes until a staff came to his help.

The moral of the story: Being rich materially and business smart has no relationship to kindness.

Story 2:
In a certain country, a home owner sent his renovation plans to the authorities for approval. Wait and wait and wait. No response.
Call and call and call. No response.
Write and write and write. No response... for 7 months.
Until he had to give them some coffee-money and the approval came in suddenly in matters of days. The wonder of money to make things happen.

Story 3:
If you are in a certain country, and you are driving along the highway and a traffic police stop you and says you are overspeeding. But you know you didn't.

Either you:
1. pay him some pocket money, or
2. you go with him to the Police Station, and make your defence, go through the inconvenience and delay your journey.

What would most motorists do? Pay up

Story 4:
For some reasons, you got entangled with the law. The Police wants to interview you to clarify some matters. Your statements are recorded. Anything you say can be used against you. You don't want to end up with a Police charge. Maybe some advice from a criminal lawyer will help.

What's the charge for a one-time consultancy? $500 fees!!!

Can you help thinking that the lawyers are laughing their way to the banks?
Can you help thinking that justice is expensive?
Is the outcome dependent on who argues better?

Maybe there's some truth in the saying: "No money no talk"

What Have You Learnt Today?

What Have You Learnt Today?

Coming home from work I conversed with Sarah, my 4-year old old daughter.
"Did you learn anything today?"
"Yes"
"What did you learnt?", I asked
"I don't know what I learnt today".

My child is my teacher. Their mind untainted by the scepticism of adults.
"I dont' know what I learnt today". A familar sentiments of adults.
Is it cos of information overload?
Or are we busy running our lives that we are lost in the jungle, that we forget to pause lost
and reflect upon our purpose and meaning in life?

Blessed are the Ignorant

Blessed Are the Ignorant

Some 'newbies' came up with ideas, do it and succeed, to the amazement of skeptics who said "it could not be done".

These newbies did not know that it could not be done in the first place.
Ignorance is bliss.

Guy Kawasaki in his book "Ideas for Revolutionaries", mentioned a formula:
"Create like a God, Command like a King, and Work like a slave".

World Piece or One Piece?

World Piece or One Piece?
One of the unsung hero of Singapore idol whispered to the ears of Gurmit Singh: "I want to work for world peace."

"What?" Gurmit couldn't hear his careless whisper.
Raising his two fingers, he repeated "World Peace"

Sarah, age 4, repeated after him: "One piece"
"No, it's world peace, not one piece", I tried to correct her.

Sarah shaked her head in disbelief at my stupidity.
She raise her index finger and said slowly "One piece".
Then she showed me two fingers.

"Two piece".

Father and child got into an endless argument.
To her, there's no such thing as "world peace" because it is not in her vocabulary.
I don't know how to explain the meaning of world peace to a 4-year old kid.

I let her win her argument. She smiled in victory.

This reminds me about God and man. Man tried to comprehend the ways of God according to his own limited understanding. That's why God say in the Bible, "Trust in the Lord, acknowledge him and don't lean upon your own understanding".

A Birthday note to my boss:

Today's Your Special Day,

We stop our work to shout horray.

Today you turn forty-eight

Let's celebrate with crepe, cakes and red eggs.

This World Is Not My Home

This World Is Not My Home
I'm just a passing through.
My treasures are laid up,
Somewhere beyond the blue.

The angels beckon me
From Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.

Oh Lord, you know.
I have no friends like you.
If heaven's not my home
Then Lord, what shall I do.

The angels beckon me
from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home
In this world anymore.

Tomorrow Might Never Come

Tomorrow Might Never Come

Tomorrow, I might Never Come;
The in-tray is never empty.
There's email to be read.
The job is never done.

It's ok if other don't appreciate my work.
I found a friend in myself.
I appreciate my own self worth.
And that's good enough for me.

Someday, the curtain mst come donw.
And the show must come to an end.
Meanwhile, I 'm giving away all my treasures
And clearing all the clutters.

If tomorrow never come. I'll remember your smile.
Don't cry for me when I'm no longer around
Goodbye for now
I'll see you around.

A Silly Little Poem

A Silly Little Poem

My teachers taught us poetry appreciation from the 'classical' age but
did not teach us how to write poems. I didn't know that poetry is
suppose to be fun, easy and could be part of everyday expression.

I stumble upon it accidentally. In a fun way.

You see. I have a 4-year old daughter.

Everytime she goes to the toilet I have to remind her to do a host of
things...otherwise she will run out to the living room naked and wet.

I'll sing her the instruction:

Dry your hands,
Dry your feet.

Clap your hands,
stamp your feet.

Wear your pants and
shake your hips

She sang with me and bravo, the job is done.
No screaming needed.

Fatherhood: Conversation with a kid

Fatherhood- Conversation with a kid

I was watching a Tamil movie together with my 4-year old kid. As usual, the couple would dance and sing in the rain.

"Why they never bring their umbrella?", she asked me.

I'm stumped.

"Daddy, come and play with me!", she pleaded with me.

So I joined her to cook a fish. I smell the (toy) fish's mouth.

"Eek, bad breath. Can I brush her teeth with toothbrush and toothpaste?" I asked her.

I couldn't fool her with that one. She was smarter than I thought.

"Darling, now go and wash the fish." I played along with this make-believe.

"...But I don't have shampoo!!!", she replied.

About Blogging

Blogs
Some like it. Some don't. Some have it.
Some have no ideas what it is.

I have a few blogs. Each focuses on ONE subject. Blogs are easiest way to update your website. No need to learn HTML or FTP or what not.

I blog cos I take the guru's advice literally to write something everyday. A writer writes just as a painter paints. It helps cos through practice you'll find your own unique voice.

I think it is good to start a blog. At least, for learning sake. Never know when it comes in useful. There's so much learn in blogging - how to create one, change the template, add-on features, RSS, etc.

www.goldblogging.com and www.goldblogger.com show you how to make money out of blogging.

The key to success is to focus on a niche subject and update it regularly. It increase your visibility, enhance your brand, and showcase your portfolio.

But be ready for public criticism and some loose nuts. Some love you. Some hate you. No matter what.

The 30 Day Challenge

Sep 11. I announced to the Singapore Self Publishers Club the 30-Day Challenge - to write and publish a book in 30 days.

Brilliant Thoughts of All Time

"If you educate a man you educate a person, but if you educate a woman you educate a family." ~ Ruby Manikan

"A man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them" ~ Mark Twain

How to Be a Best-Selling Author Without Writing a Word!

How to Be a Best-Selling Author Without Writing a Word!

Unbelievable but true. As they say, "Truth is stranger than fiction."

Pamela Anderson is now the New York Times best-selling author of "A Star: A Novel", which she didn't even write.

When asked about her literaray inspiration, she says: "I don't read novels."

Behind the book is obviously someone - a ghostwriter. The 204-page novel was completed in 28 days.

What it means for ghostwriters is that there is a world of opportunities for them. There are good customers they can write for - people with fame like celebrites and politicians, people with fortune (those who makes a lot of money but don't have the time to write), and people with a life-time worth of wisdom.

And there are people who are on their deathbed. Wouldn't it be all in vain to see their lifetime memories, experience and knowledge buried with them and lost forever?

Ghostwriters play wonderful roles. They are keepers of memories. They make people famous. They change the world - one reader at a time.

Behind every great book is an author.

What a Paradox!

What a Paradox!

How come fortune tellers cannot tell their own fortune?
How come some celebrity relationships gurus themselves are divorced?

If I'm a screwed up failure, maybe I should tell the world how to fail, instead of how to succeed like "How to lose your Man in 10 days"

Forgive and Forget

"Forgive and forget", we are often told.

I realised that time doesn't heal. The scar is still there. It's a lingering pain. Our brain never forgets. The memories of a lifetime is still as fresh as yesterday.

When we dont' forgive, the hatred will consume us like a toxic emotion. It will drive us crazy and eats up our spirit. Hatred only hurt ourselves, not our enemy.

Until the day I forgive myself, my enemy, and LET GO, I will still be circling like a boat in a whirlpool of misery.

When I LET GO, it cannot hurt me anymore. I can move on like a free bird out of the cage.

Though I cannot control what people do to me, I CAN control how I react, how I feel.

This is my personal power. Why let people control how I feel?

One Word

One Word
When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
When the heart is ready to listen and receive instruction, the answer comes... in one or two words.

To the one who is always chasing for the latest, and newest. To the one who is jack of all trade and master of none. To the one always getting bored with the same toy and never grow its roots deep enough to tap the well of wealth - "Focus"

To the one who is always busy working hard, too busy to enjoy the fruits of his labour. To the one who's swarmed with information overload. To the one who's always learning but no time to teach - "Do less"

To the one who has so much inside, wanting to yap and yap and yap. Either in frustration. Or he thinks he knows a lot - "Listen"

To the one who is so full of himself, who lives within his own box, whose view of the world is only through his eyes - "Empty Yourself"

To the one who is weigh down by the burdens of life, who is fighting, struggling against the tides of persecution - "Let Go". Go with the flow. Trust God to take over. All things work together for good to those who love Him.

To the info junky who buys every books, attends every seminars, who knows a lot and yet...his life is still the same - "Do it". We may not see what's beyond the horizon. God don't promise the sky is always blue. God don't promise we will not fall, or we will not be hurt. God don't promise there will not be trouble on our way. But He promises, "I will be there for you. "

When the moment of enlightenment comes, it wouldn't come in a lecture, in a loud voice, or in a thousand pages. It's just a simple word, whisper silently in your heart. When your heart is still, you will hear it.

Can you hear it now?

How Come You are Not Rich?

How Come You are Not Rich?

I have the 2-volume books on "30 Days to Internet Success", compiled by Joe Kumar. The gurus who made real money on the Internet, shared how they can do it in 30 days. There are more than 10,000 readers of his book. How many have followed the advice in the book and make money?

Many attended Anthony Robbin's seminar? How many have become rich?

I went through Joe Kumar's book. I asked myself the same question. Can I do exactly what they did?

Yes and No.

Yes, in a way. As I compared the methods of all the gurus, I found there are similar things they do. There is a formula to their success.

No. Because you got to have the kind of background they had. They can spin a sales letter in 3 hours. The average guy cannot. It would take him six months of training to learn copywriting and self-write a killer sales letter.

They can set up an autoresponder instantly. But the average guy don't know what an autoresponder is and how it works.

So how come you don't get rich after reading all the 'How to be Become a Millionaire", "How to be a Rich Dad", "How to Make Thousands of Dolllars in a Week, in your shorts, in your pyjamas, or naked in your house" or whatever get-rich books.
Here lies the source of the problem:

1. They tell you what they do. They DON'T tell you how they do it. What you need is a mentor who will guide you step-by-step and show you the rope, who will tell you where you go wrong and how to do it right. You need a mentor who has done it and can show you the short-cut.

2. You need a support system. Someone or a mastermind group who will push you on. Doing it alone don't keep you motivated. Stop doing it a day, and no one in the world cares. You need a buddy to keep you running till the day you reach your destination.

3. Most people are basically lazy. They want a quick fix. They want money without the work, the shape without the sweat. They want to lose weight with the exercise and diet. They want it the Maggie way - fast to cook, good to eat. They want it the McDonald way - quick and easy. The truth is that these gurus work HARD. They work on it every day. They never stop learning like a sponge.

I'm been toying with this idea.

If I could study, analyse and compile the secrets of successful people and come up with 'kungfu manual' with a step-by-step formula.

If I could get a group of people who are willing to commit to follow each step for 30 days.

If I have them accountable to the group to ensure they do their homework, to tap on the collective wisdom of the mastergroup.

If they can complete the 30-days challenge, you will see some measure of success than never trying anything at all!

Could this be a worthwhile project for the Singapore Self-Published Writers Group?

The 30-day challenge to publish a book?

The vision for every member: "How to be a self-published author in 30 Days without losing your pants"

What do People Think About Me?

I am a paracounsellor. I listen to people's rants and problems. Lately I observe a certain kind of thinking. It's called "What do people think about me?"

Examples:
"My friends are losing their virginity as a rite of passage. I felt like an oddball being the only
virgin."

"Don't think I'll really wanna be a stay-at-home husband even if my wife earns 5-7k a month..., main reason is still the social stigma cos men are expected to go out there and work..."

They lives to please other people. They want to live to their friends' expectation. They want to be accepted by their peers. They want to belong to the club. They forget to ask, "What do I think about myself".

They forget that they are going to live with the consequence of their decisions, not their friends.

"It is not the critic who counts:
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming,
but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause;
who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

What is a Book

Salman Rushdie said, "A book is a version fo the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return."

The Law is an Ass

Vague dates ruling hits many Rape Cases

I couldn't believe what I read on TODAY newspaper today.
Everyone assume that Law people are among the smartest, the brainest and the brightest people on Planet Earth.

But today, they prove us wrong.

You can find some of the stupidest laws made by stupid educated people.
In Malaysia, the court rule that dates when the rape offences happened must be specifically mentioned in the charge sheet. Prosecutors now have to withdraw many many cases from trial.

How can rape victims remember the time and date of the incident? They are too traumatised. They want to forget the whole episode. Some victims are too young to remember. Some incidents are discovered long after the incident.

It brings into questions how court rulings and decision are made.
Do they consult affected parties about the effect of their ruling? I don't think so.
Do they try to put themselves in the other parties shoes? I don't think so.
Are they serving the interest of the rape victims, the very people they ought to protect?
I think they forget the reason for their existence.

Lesson of the Day: You can be educated and yet Stupid. They are not exclusive

Opportunity in Crisis

How do you find money making opportunities?
Scan the newspaper. What's the crisis of the day?
Capitalise on people's crisis and meet their needs.

After Sept 11, gas masks sold like hot cakes.
When SARS striked, mask and thermometers sold like hot cakes.
Now that windows ledges have to be changed, business is booming for some contractors.
Election fever in Indonesia, T-shirts vendor have a roaring business.

When toy mania comes to town, collectors are having the time of their lives, feeding the frenzy and greed.

World Cup Fever. T-shirt sells. Only those with the winning team and player.

Cash in on the occasion.
What's hot? What's the Talk of the Town?
Put yourself in their shoes. What do they need, that you can provide.

Experience is Not the Best Teacher

Quote of the Day

Cavett Robert, the founder of the National Speakers Association, said, “Experience is not the best teacher because the tuition is too high. Learn from other people’s experience!”

Writers Make Me Cry

Writers who Moved the Heart

Once in a while, I find a rare gem in some writers who are blessed with the gift of words. They have the ability to bring a story to life, and to touch the readers profoundly.

I found two such persons. Sudarsan Raghavan and Roger Dean Kaiser

These two authors can make me cry for days. I wish I can write like them.

I read the book 'Orphan' by Kaiser. It is a very terribly sad story about his abuse at the orphanage. He said that readers may feel sad but after a few days but they will resume their normal life and their normal feeling again. For people like him, they carry the painfully memories with them for the rest of their lives. It would have been better to die than to live like that. I don't know how he survived the ordeal and live to tell the story. But he did live to tell the story, and through his book, creates a ripple effect on the conscience of American society.


Sudarsan writes about Sudan, the land that the world forgets. He writes the untold story. Here, he writes about a village in Darfur, with such eloquence:

No one lives in Kailek today. Mud huts, their straw roofs gone, are empty. The red earth is scattered with pieces of women's clothing, broken pots and pans, and slippers. Charred trees stand like lone sentries protecting an ugly secret.

The village has fallen silent, save for the chirping of turquoise birds and the wind blowing across the sand. The only residents are stray dogs and limping donkeys that have taken over the homes of their former masters.

Around Kailek, village after village has been burned down, making a homecoming impossible.

The Power of Writing

Paul Auster said:

This sense of connection with strangers - the reason why writing is never going to die out, in spite of all the dire predictions that are made about fiction, in particular, but the written word in general. A book, a piece of paper, a piece of printed paper with words on, written by one person addressed to others, is the only place in the world, I believe, that two absolute strangers can meet on the deepest level. It's something that reinforces our common humanity.

That's the power of writing. You don't feel that in a movie. You don't quite feel it when you look at a painting, although that can be close, but the articulated word, and articulated thoughts, communicated from one person to another, is the province of literature and writing.

Why Women Yap

Why Women Yap

My new friend, Ms Karina Lee, the self-acclaim relationship guru, offers me a refreshing theory on why your housewife yaps so much when the husband comes home.

She says, everyone has a daily quota of yapping. It's a natural thing. We need to yap to get it off our chest (like releasing your sexual tension?) Men at work finishes their daily quota in their workplace. But the wife has no one to talk to. So when husband comes home, she has to unloads her daily quota of yapping on who?.... on the husband of course.

So if ye husband gets a nagging wife at home, remember: she is simply unloading her daily quota.

Men with women fear these 3 words most: "Am I fat?"

Men with women seldom have ears left.
