The Ideal Career
I believe everyone must know their reasons for why they go to work every single day.
The answer must be more than 'just getting a paycheck every month, to make money, pay the bills.
Work is occupying 70% most of our adult life. So, it is ideal that you know the reason why you're going to work every single day.
Warren Buffet, in his 87 years old, still put on his uniform and tap dance to work, same as his mentor Charlie Munger, at 94 years old. goes to work every single day Surely, they can retire any single given seconds as they wish and want and still can maintain their lifestyle even up to 3 generations but they refused to settle down, like the majority of us do, why?
Because they love what they do and is in "FLOW" with their work. That's mean when they work, the time stopped. it just their attention and focus is 100% being in the process, anything external won't distract them and in sync with their highest presence self.
So ask yourselves when you're at work time, are you constantly looking at the time away and wish it would pass more quickly, if so. It's a sign to ask and reflect upon yourselves to look for a new job or purposes.
Because life is so short, it is finite and very limited. We don't want to stuck in the job we dislike and to work in an environment where your work goes unappreciated and unrecognized. The right thing we should do is by courage, look deep what your values are and stand behind them.
Find the career that excites you to go to work every single day or look upon the day up ahead with full excitement. That's the goals we should strive for.
No any jobs or career whatsoever is below or above your standards.
A manager who earns 100K per year might be miserable for his jobs whereas a janitor who makes less than 20K per year is having his time in his life enjoying his jobs every single day.
At the end of the day, we're going to die and bury in the same soil like all the other human beings out there. whether is king or beggar. The most important to ask is "am I living the life of my own terms, not based on anybody's perception of society and other people stereotype"
The answer is based on you. Only you know the answer.

The Law of Reciprocity
When someone did a favor to you, you will feel that you will "owe them a return" for most people right? That's very true.
You will find someway whatever reason to return the favor to them, no matter how big or small, so to justify it or 2 sides become 'equal'.
The other side will reciprocate too, we can see in relationships, when a person keeps on giving and the another keeps on getting without giving back, sooner or later the relationships will be broken.
Because this is the law, give and take. So, in the business world, how much you make is also equivalent to how much you 'give' values to people, and the marketplace will determine your worth.
So, it's important to ask ourselves are we taking too much or giving too much, the key is in the moderation. too over into something is also not good, aim for balanced.
I think that's the message of the day.

Experimentation as the way of living
My approach to life now is to become a learning machine.
Instead of saying no, refuse to try anything new, now when I see something that sparks an interest of me, I'll sign up and look more in-depth to it.
When I'm convinced of something, I'll test it whether it is true or not, or either check it thoroughly to see the expert that validates my opinion or not.
The reason behind this because that's the only way to test either your assumption is correct or false.
The most dangerous thing is that we think we know it all, and all our assumptions are correct, that's why it is very hard for everyone to let go their ego, so that's to remind myself often. we're humans and we're not 100% perfect.
A book called Principles by Ray Dalio talks about this, Scott Adams, How to Fail At Almost Anything and Still Win Big, and also Tai Lopez, a digital marketer. They shared the common advice to all of us.

The New Rich in 21st Century & Mindset of Success
Rich, wealthy, freedom, fame, healthy, and great relationships. This is all the human's desire and wants despite all the different cultures around us.
But what is exactly rich is defined? If you earn 1-3 million dollars/ month and have a nice luxury 20,000 sq ft mansion and a few exotics cars sitting around but 60-70% of your paycheck went into the hole for maintaining it or paying it back the loan. Even that, you're broke. According to Scott Galloway, Prof at NYU and author of the four.
However, if a guy who earns 60k/ month from passive investment and his expenses all add up around is 50k/ month, then he's rich.
So what exactly is the rich defined?
According to 4-hour workweek by Tim Ferris, he said that the new rich is defined by not how much money you make, but by how much free time you have while you're making your money.
For a personal example, my previous career as an insurance salesman, I realized that the more you earn, the more you must work in order to maintain what you have built and repeat all over again.
Don't get me wrong, some people love what they do and that's ok, but that person is not me. I literally ask my manager why you work so hard even in the weekends, you still have to meet and see clients from all over the places, sometimes they need to travel across the bridge (Penang) to see some clients or do some servicing. BTW, they still need to show up at the office from Monday- Friday for training and so on. Then, he told me, how to do, work still needs to be done and complete. I see how now. If you're passionate about it then its ok, go 100%.
However, things are not working pretty well to me as a result, I'm not passionate about it and feel like going to work is like increase my anxiety and self-doubt level 10000%, I also put a lot of hours into making this to work while I'm in this career, but it just doesn't work out to me. I've cold- calls, road show, knock-on doors and scared-off my friends while doing this career. Back to the point, the most important thing you can ask those people who are doing well is:
(I believe this is also true for many sales oriented company like network marketing, MLM/ Direct- Marketing/ telemarketing/ pharmaceutical sales/ real estate and etc... )
"Can you put off everything now and travel across Europe for the next 1 or 2 years?"
if the answer is no, then you're not in the 21st Century businesses.
In the insurance business, the top 1% of the sales agents always inform their clients publicly that they are traveling for a week or two to some places and if anything happens to their clients, they will call back immediately from another country to assist them.
(I'm not sure if this a gimmick or not, even if it's not, I can't imagine you're having a 'good' romantic personal evening time with your wife and clients phone you during the time and told you that he/she just have a heart attack and not sure what to do next and your clients are in desperate pain and anger towards you because you didn't answer their call in the next 2 minutes? Try your imagination if that agent thinks about the possible thoughts to travel to Europe for 2 years)
The more clients you have, the more you had to deal with these kind of things.
In conclusion. The more clients that they make = the more they can't get out from their businesses and can't really do what they want to really do!
The point I'm making is, are you the slave or an employee full time working for your own businesses, and you just create another job for you?
The language used in the new rich is:
Leverage
in terms of your time = you outsource your work in fiverr for just $5, or you hire a freelance worker who is based on the contract so you just need to pay them for the amount they work in the contract. They don't trade time for their money.
in terms of people = you use other peoples to get what you want, for their knowledge, like mentors, coach, and gurus.
in terms of resources = Kickstarter, Patreon, and Crowdsourcing. Give investors some percentage of equity of your businesses then you don't need to worry about money when starting and running a business.
and many many more.
As what I'm doing now, Amazon FBA, which I'm not successful at it, yet. Even if I make 100 sales or 2 sales every day.
I'm just fine and alright, writing this blog and sitting at my house drinking green tea and eating chips, later the day, might go for a long healthy 45 minutes jog or go to the gym. Then spend a couple of hours reading some fine quality business books to expand my mind. If I feel like watching a movie, I just went to the cinema and buy the next ticket showtime available immediately without reporting to anyone, boss, customers, except my parents if they ask me of where I'm going.
This is what an ideal business looks like to ME, for now. Maybe down the roads when I hit my 30's, want something more solid and stable, then I'll go build an office and hire some bunch of employees, as for now, I don't see a reason why do that.
Most people wait until their retirement age to travel when they are 65-70 years old, but biology wasn't built you to do that when you're 70 years old, you don't want to drive the Ferrari, Lamborghini or only start to travel when you're 70 years old. You want to do that while you're still young in your 20's or 30's, to drive that dream car, travel to the place you dream of
Niagara Falls, 2017 |
Niagara Falls, Buffalo, New York. |
You want to spend time with your grandchildren and family when you're 75.
Know what I mean. So we should ask ourselves are we going to live the life of OUR own choices based on ourselves or we surrender and stop thinking about our future and submit to the rules & standards that set by the society that said:
"you should work hard, struggle, hustle everything in your 20's"
"you should get a Degree or Masters in order to get a high paying job"
"you should marry to this/ that person or you should marry in __ years old"
"starting a business is risky, (let me tell you this one from myself: NOT STARTING A BUSINESS IS EVEN MORE RISKIER!!)
"you should do what all your friends do"
"don't read too many books or learn too much, just do it" (many people say that investing is risky, but not knowing how to invest is even riskier!)
"starting a business from your laptop is impossible"
"everyone should eat breakfast"
"follow what the majority people do, then you will not get wrong"
"working hard, hustling is the only way to get ahead"
"you need to have the experience to start a business"
"I'll give and donate to charity when I have money"
"saves money on rainy days"
"spend money on Yeezy or Boost/ Gucci, whatever the damn thing is, to look rich and cool to other people "
(Hell no, I don't know this thing until some friends talk about how cool is it and I check, it's just another damn white shoes!!) Their markup over 1000%, a $7 dollar shoes made in overseas retails for thousands of dollars, instead of buying those, why not learn how they do it and apply it and do it on your own businesses)
"rich and wealthy people are greedy" (I will say that they are probably more generous than all your friends and families combined, even with that you're STILL NOT enough generous than them, facts).
I can list this until 7 pages and still can go on, 2 common things all people who said this is:
They never ever really take actions on what they said & they work for someone else.
So which one are you belong to? Don't get me wrong, some people are happy and satisfied with their jobs and find fulfillment in their work should continuing on what they do.
For those who are not happy with their jobs and their situation, it's for them.
Find your way to make it in the 21st-century business, either to start a social media marketing agency on your own, do some work in Fiverr, upwork, and video editing for someone else. Look up on the internet, Google, YouTube, all you need is at there already waiting for you.
I understand everyone's got bills to pay, put food on the table and make ends meet to survive and other important priorities as well, but hey, all you need is just 1-2 hours to learn how to do this every day.
Make it a habit of self-educating oneself
If you have a little bit of cash, you can invest your knowledge into how to do amazon FBA and other ventures as well and start your own 21st-century business.

5 ingredients to lose 10000KG/ LBS & Get Those Stunning 6 -Pack Abs Beach Body!!
Just saw Alex Becker post what he drinks during the intermittent fasting period, it is with this simple recipe.
Apple Cider Vinegar + Baking Soda Powder + Pink Sea Salt + Cinnamon Powder + Cayenne Pepper = healthy life
Mix All and add a little bit of water & Drink this one time during your fasting period.
Do this as much as you want during the week but personally, I won't recommend doing this every single day (for me).
You can do whatever you like and want. (I'm not a medical Doctor & never will become one, how sad).
I haven't experiment it yet, but will definitely do so, because now currently am in exam period, don't want to try too much fancy stuff and upset the stomach and mood.
Also, I'm going to travel in the very near time, so. Hopefully, I got the opportunity to try and apply it in my daily routine, because mostly what I do now is normal fasting from wake-up time until noon, but during the fasting period, I drink green tea to cope my appetite. I've been doing this for a year or two now I guess, not every day, but many times of the week. Breakfast is foreign and new to me now, as I start my first meal after 12pm or longer, not later than 4pm. But the longer, the better, as I'm not feeling hungry at night. Also, I workout and sweat every single day in the morning before I had my first meal.
But hey, this is me, everybody got their own way to manage their health in their certain ways, as we're different in so many ways, in terms of schedule, body, way of preferences and etc.
No wrong or right answer, but this is what I'm currently doing and it kept my weight in check, my short and jeans in the right size, 32-inch at a 173cm height, just add a few more KG to my weight and I'm welcome to the overweight class family. Which I gladly don't want hopefully as long as it gets. because as this subject goes, you don't want to be too cocky. The last thing you want to do is regret what you said earlier.
That's enough for today of my daily blogs.

Solitude time
Now in this present moment of my life now I value solitude more now than ever, I listen and hold my thoughts more longer now and try to listen what does it trying to say to myself, sometimes it just random thoughts, sometimes its just wildly egoistic thoughts, but some of the rarer ones is I actually recalled back the same feelings that I had when certain some situation happens or we can say "deja vu", like life is trying to let me know something.
I can guess probably this is the 'yin' stages of my life right now, there are 'yin' and 'yang', so I should probably treat this stages with all that it can be, to feed myself a lot of information, try and educate myself as much as I can, listen to my thoughts more, care about my feelings more, what I value more out of my life. seek what I most enjoy and dislikes of.
Find out those who share the same beliefs as I do and connect with them. I guess this is the time to reflect and ponder, to get lost and hope to be found. Walking the path of the road less traveled, and starts to set foot in the sands of the unknown by enduring the mindset of a thousand journey starts with a single step.
I guess it's time for me to slow down and tie my shoelaces, get showered and clothe properly in the oasis, readjust the camels back and feed them fully, polish their sanders, rest on the laurels in the temporary oasis. Then, get back out in the desert and starts all over again until I find my paradise.
Thanks for reading.

New Government New Era for Malaysia
I'm always not a fan of political news since birth until now, but lately after the historical moment of election. I was excited about it.
Hope my enthusiasm for political news won't fade away anytime soon.
Felt grateful and hopeful for Malaysia right now. Hope everyone especially the new generations can strive to make this country better and contribute to the development growth of the nations.
After 60 long years, the elephant in the room has finally been debunked!
Writing this blog just to keep it as a memory, maybe down the roads in 30 years. I'll look back when I was in 21, Malaysia has just begun it's renaissance period from the dark age. On 10th of May 2018, the new government has been elected Tun Dr. Mahathir as 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia and I wrote this in 11th of May 2018, while still in my 2nd year in universities (USM) preparing for the exam.
Hope this 6 years we'll see a major shift and change in our country!

2018 February CNY (Amazon FBA) PROGRESS updates!
Basically today is the day where people celebrate and have fun with friends & family together. For this blog, I'm going to write in a more low-key way here, not going over the top like sometimes, so.
Let's put it this way, my family tree (Ngiam) is not very big, so there was a limited number of siblings in us. Also, I'm the youngest one, most of them are 10 years or ahead than me, so there's an age gap difference and beliefs also.
For me, this time when still in high school, I'll usually busy with going to friend houses and collecting red packets and living my life fully as a teenagers.
As time passes, people change, me also in nature went through changes as well, so the same person we meet in high school will react differently if we haven't been in contact for more than a year, let alone 6 months. If you did not hang out with your particularly friends, let's say 3 months the least, you guys definitely need to readjust the chemistry back together and both parties need to coordinate one or another to bring the relationship alive.
Deep down inside all of us sometimes in our lives, we sure made the judgement whether we still need to continue to commit the relationships or not due to events, experience and circumstances or so forth, but we just keep it to ourselves or life just happens and we did not realize it.
Let's not kid ourselves, even with the high school reunion or stuff like that, I'll not feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm a more introverted guy by nature. I'm doing my best to try and connect with other people who share the same values with me as possible. I'm much more ok by a group of 2-3 rather than a group of 10 or more peoples, it's usually the parties involving people that I never met before, I hate that, been there, done that. Unless that event is a formal ones, that is different.
The main focus I really want to say that is currently that I'm starting my own business as to transition from a part-time basis because I'm a full-time student to a long-term career (after I graduate). Many of the guy who's in my age group either is a student now in universities or already working in a factory professionally (for those who's studying in college). Now, I'm in my startup phase, even with festive seasons like this, I'm also grinding, doing the work I may not necessary like, to fix and improve my current business and also doing multiple jobs a week to keep my feet on the ground, as I'm not born into money. I had to make my money myself.
Now that I'm 22 this year, 2018. In another 8 years I'm going to turn 30 and I'll become ancient I guess. This year my goals for 2018 I uploaded in my YouTube channel. It's a big ass fucking goals I would say. Make 50,000 USD sales/ month on Amazon FBA & maintain 67 KG all year long.
Currently, I'm making consistently 400+USD sales/month (my profits sucks due to high advertising cost) I post my official profit from Amazon in my page (go check it out). I currently weigh around 75KG/ 165lbs morning right after I wake up and my height is around 5 ft 7 tall/ 173cm.
So just want to keep myself accountable, I think transparency is key and I have nothing to hide, but a visions to prove! That guy like me can make it from scratch, if I'm not able to make it, then I already make a fool out of myself, since I'm telling everyone about this now, I have nothing to hide now but to jump to the unknown.
Research also shows that guy with missions in life are more attractive than those who are not, even if you crash and burn, you're far still better than the person who sidewalks in life never become the player but audience only, and that's the bottom line for this post! See you on my next post!
(I have 600 friends on facebook, previously I had 1,200, then I deleted them. Initially, my goals was to keep it at 300 maximum but thought to myself, it's impossible after gone through all the person in my profiles. I truly hope that If 600 people of you, if 10 people of you, can connect and accept my message and like me the person of who I am. Then I've already achieve success in my own terms. Because this is what the core function of what social media is all about right, to connect each other, but in a more deeper level in my case. At least it makes me feel like I have a community to share my passions and beliefs to, like a big group of families that I'd never have, so that's why I created the facebook page and YouTube community, also active in my Instagram)
Thank you very much for reading this, it made my day, if you're reading up to this point now, write yes in the comment box below to show that you're really reading it and it makes me happy!
